The officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs were a little surprised when they heard Yang Tong say this. Many officials who thought they were proficient in arithmetic were still calculating in their hearts. The calculation method is very special, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, all of them were extremely surprised.

No one could have imagined that this seemingly ordinary young man could calculate such a complicated problem so quickly.

After a moment of dead silence, someone nearby gently tugged at Yang Tong's clothes and said, "Master Yang, Master Yang?"

Yang Tong came back to his senses, and said in a daze: "What?"

"Didn't Master Yang say that there are two questions?" Someone reminded in a low voice, "What is the other question? Since Master Chu is so capable, why don't you tell me the other question as well."

Yang Tong coughed twice, regained his composure, and said, "Chu Huan, I still have a question, do you dare to do it?"

"Master Yang, please speak!"

Yang Tong pondered for a while, and finally said: "Today, there are five cattle and three sheep, worth 17 taels of gold; four cattle and two sheep, worth 13 taels of gold, and how much are the cattle and sheep worth?"

After asking this question, Yang Tong couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

When the officials around heard this question, they whispered again immediately, and many people immediately frowned. Obviously, this question stumped them again, and then some people showed complacency and stared at Chu Huan.

For the previous question, what method can be used to cut and add, but this question is quite different, and the difficulty seems to have increased a lot.

Chu Huan frowned and became thoughtful.

Yang Tong was a little nervous at first, but after a while, seeing that Chu Huan didn't seem to have figured it out, he immediately showed a hint of shame, and said lightly, "Chu Huan, can this problem be solved?"

Chu Huan finally smiled, looked left and right, saw a flowerbed in the yard, and there was soil on the edge of the flowerbed, he walked over, broke a twig, and began to write something on the ground with the twig.

All the officials couldn't help but gather around to look at it, and soon, everyone's faces showed a dazed look.

What Chu Huan wrote down seemed to be some kind of symbol, including "4", "7", "+", "x", "y" and other strange runes, no one could understand what was written what is it.

After a while, Chu Huan threw the twig in his hand into the flowerbed, and said with a smile, "Master Yang, it's a good luck not to disgrace your life. A cow is worth two taels of gold, and a sheep is worth one tael or five gold, but I don't know what Chu said." right?"

"You... how did you figure it out?" Yang Tong's expression changed again, and he couldn't help but lose his voice.

Chu Huan pointed to the weird symbols on the ground, with a look of surprise on his face, and asked, "Master Yang, you are a veteran of the household department, and you are proficient in arithmetic. Could it be...you can't even understand these?" He made a look of surprise, which meant that it would be unbelievable if Yang Tong couldn't understand these symbols.

Yang Tong was stunned, and he could see Chu Huan's surprise. Seeing Chu Huan's eyes burning, he dared not admit that he didn't understand these runes. He coughed, stroked his beard and looked at the underground runes, Pretend to say: "Well, so that's the case, um, Master Chu... Master Chu is really amazing...!"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Chu is still wondering. You are all elites of the Great Qin Dynasty and the pillars of the household department. It is impossible that you can't even understand this." He asked an official next to him: "Does this lord understand? ?”

The man was startled, but he pretended to be calm, nodded and said: "Miao, Miao, Mr. Chu, your method of solving problems is really admirable."

Chu Huan cupped his hands and said, "This lord is too much." Seeing an official poking his head and pushing towards him, he said with a smile, "This lord can understand, of course, right?"

The man was taken aback, and immediately laughed and said, "That's natural, that's natural." Both Yang Tong and another official claimed to understand it, and if they said they couldn't understand it, it would be a shame to the adults.

Chu Huan asked: "Since this lord can understand it, he wonders if he knows where the method of solving the problem comes from?"

The man was startled, and suddenly felt that everyone's eyes were on him, and he was very nervous, but he still showed a serious look on his face, and said cautiously: "Master Chu, this seems...it seems very The ancient algorithm!"

"Huh?" Chu Huan showed surprise, nodded and said, "Exactly."

Hearing what Chu Huan said, he suddenly gained confidence, and hurriedly said: "To be honest, such an algorithm is already very rare. I saw it by accident in a book a long time ago, but it's a pity that the book It has been lost, hey...!" Speaking of this, he sighed, looking very regretful.

"I seem to have seen it too." An official was obviously not willing to let others go, with a serious look: "Master Chu, that book seems... It seems to be called "Tian Tu Suan", um, it seems so, I wonder if Master Chu is also the same What did you see from there?"

Chu Huan didn't answer, but just smiled and said, "This lord knows "Tian Tu Suan"?"

The man was taken aback.

In fact, he deliberately fabricated such a book in order to cover up his ignorance, just to show that he also has a lot of background, but he never thought that what Chu Huan meant seemed to really exist in this book. This person immediately felt that he was really a rare genius, and said in a serious manner: "Everyone, please take a look, these runes are all from "Tian Tu Suan", which is an extremely advanced school of arithmetic. It is said that chun During the Autumn and Warring States period, the Guigu Sect had this knowledge, but it was lost later, ah, what a pity. I just happened to see an isolated copy, which mentioned this kind of fortune-telling technique...!" Speaking of this, he glanced around and saw many people looking at him with surprised eyes, and immediately felt light and light, and continued: "I just didn't expect Master Chu to be so good at calculation, it's really impressive." I am very impressed."

"So this is the fortune teller?" Another human said: "No wonder, no wonder!"

"Oh, I've also heard of Heaven's Calculus, it's an amazing math, it's been lost for a long time!"

The officials are unwilling to let others say what you say, but they suddenly started to study the "Tian Suan Tu", which never existed, and all of them are serious. These officials are all eloquent In a short while, the words became more and more rounded, and some officials even pointed to the "runes" on the ground that they didn't know at all, analyzed the mystery, and finally came to a unanimous conclusion, the long-lost "Tian Suan Tu" ", reappeared on Chu Huan's body. Chu Huan is proficient in "Tian Suan Tu", and he is indeed a remarkable talent.

The corners of Yang Tong's eyes twitched.

He really didn't expect that he wanted to humiliate Chu Huan in public, but not only did Chu Huan answer two very difficult questions, but he even pulled out a "Picture of Heaven's Calculation".

The devil has seen such a "Tian Suan Tu", Yang Tong has studied the Sutra for decades, and asked himself that he is very proficient in the Sutra, which can be regarded as a comprehensive book, but has he ever heard of such a shit "Tian Suan Tu"?

But at the moment, all the officials are discussing the "Tian Suan Tu" in a serious manner. If Yang Tong points out that there is no "Tian Suan Tu" at this time, he is undoubtedly an enemy of everyone. Tong can only humiliate himself.

Chu Huan held back his laughter when he heard these people discussing the plan of heavenly calculations, but he also felt helpless at the hypocrisy of human nature. The dignified six department officials, these household department officials are all elites at the core of the empire. I used some tricks to play with the applause.

At this moment, another sound of footsteps was heard, and a small official had hurried over and summoned Chu Huan to see Hu Bufan, Shangshu of the Household Department. Chu Huan bid farewell to the officials, seeing Yang Tong's embarrassing expression, he secretly smiled , followed the little official into the main courtyard of the department hall, after the notification, as soon as he entered the door, Hu Bufan came out of the inner room with a smile, cupped his hands and said: "Master Chu, there are some trivial matters to be dealt with just now, I kept you waiting for a long time, Come, come, please sit down, please sit down!"

He appeared to be very enthusiastic and very polite. Logically speaking, in his capacity, there was no need to treat Chu Huan like this. Chu Huan felt awkward seeing him like this. He just felt that Hu Bufan had no good intentions.

Hu Bufan took the main seat, Chu Huan sat in the side seat, and the servant served tea, and Hu Bufan said: "Chu Huan, from today onwards, you are a member of my household department. The Ministry, of course, requires people to give full play to their talents. Duzhicao's affairs are complicated or not, and simple but not simple. As the left chief of Duzhicao, you will be in charge of Duzhicao's big and small affairs in the future Cao Lao."

Chu Huan clasped his hands and said, "This official is new here, and I don't know anything, so I need to ask the minister to give me some pointers!"

Hu Bufan smiled and said: "Your Excellency Chu, you don't need to be so polite." He added: "It's not a matter of advice, but what you said is not bad, the household department yamen has its own regulations for the household department yamen, and the affairs of each yamen It’s all very cumbersome, but it needs to be handled carefully, and if you don’t have experience, it will be difficult to get started in a while.”

Chu Huan said: "What the Lord Department Hall said is true."

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door saying: "Your Majesty, Dou Yi, please see your lord!"

Hu Bufan said loudly: "Come here, Mr. Dou, come in quickly!"

Soon, a middle-aged official in his early forties came in. He had an ordinary appearance and no special features, but his eyes were shrewd. As soon as he entered the door, he immediately said respectfully: "My lord, I don't know What is your command to summon?"

Hu Bufan beckoned, beckoning Dou Yi to approach, then pointed to Chu Huan and said, "Master Dou, this is Chu Huan, the new Duzhi Cao." He said to Chu Huan, "Chu Huan, this is Du Chief Zhi Caoyou is also your colleague!"

Chu Huan had already got up, and the two saluted at the same time.

"Master Dou, Mr. Chu is new here and is not very familiar with Du Zhicao. If there is anything Mr. Chu doesn't understand, you can tell him more!" Hu Bufan stroked his beard, and then looked at Chu Huan: "Mr. Chu, The affairs of Duzhicao are actually more cumbersome than imagined. Chief Dou has been in Duzhicao for many years and is very experienced. Although he is your subordinate, you can ask him more about Duzhicao. You should also discuss with him more about Zhicao's affairs, big or small."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Your official understands!"

Hu Bufan raised his hand and said, "Master Dou, take Chu Huan to Duzhi Cao to get acquainted with him first." Xiang Chu Huan smiled and said: "Master Chu, if you have any difficulties in your errands, you can come and find me. You decide!"

After Chu Huan and Dou Yi retreated, Hu Bufan picked up the teacup, looked at Chu Huan's back, took a sip of tea, and said with a sneer, "It's all right if you transfer to the household department and keep yourself safe and honest." , If you want to create a storm in my household, I will definitely destroy you!" He spat out a piece of tea in his mouth.
