A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Most of the guests at this banquet were descendants of Zhao Yunrang, but the purpose of the banquet was to thank Shen An.

So everyone would look at him from time to time.

Then at this glance, I couldn't move.

"Anbei, what are you..."

Zhao Zongshi said awkwardly: "He is young and has poor alcohol tolerance. This is nonsense."

This is changing the situation for Shen An.

As for what can be done, just listen to it.

The accounting staff are all here, and everyone's skills are here. How can you, Shen An, instill your own skills overnight?

Zhao Yunrang drank a bowl of wine, patted Shen An on the shoulder and said, "Anbei, I appreciate this. This matter was caused by my family's own misdeeds. We deserve it! Let's settle the matter slowly."

He said to his children and grandchildren: "Have a rest today and have a good sleep. Tomorrow you will do all your mental arithmetic. If you finish it early, I will take you on a trip!"

This is a painting cake!

But this family can only coax themselves so much.

Shen An coughed dryly and said, "Prince..."

Zhao Yunrang shook his head and said: "It's a good time to drink."

The old man was quite interesting. He was afraid that Shen An would be embarrassed, so he just prepared to get him drunk.

"Prince, where are your mental arithmetic skills?"

As soon as Zhao Yunrang raised the bowl, he stopped when he heard this, and then looked at Shen An intently.

"you……"

Someone on the side said: "Anbei, that's your family's ability, don't say it randomly. We understand the kindness, we understand it."

Zhao Zhongzhen was a little excited.

He had been taught mental arithmetic, but he didn't get into it deeply and only learned a little bit about it.

But after Shen An made a name for himself by competing with the Liao people at Daxiangguo Temple, many people in Bianliang City dreamed of learning this mental arithmetic technique. If Shen An didn't have a guardian in his home, thieves would have infiltrated him long ago.

But Shen An was willing to teach the county prince such a secret skill?

Zhao Yunrang looked at Shen An carefully, he wanted to identify the authenticity.

Shen An took out the oil paper bag from his arms. After opening it, there was a book inside.

"The quick and easy methods of mental arithmetic are all in this book."

Zhao Yunrang's lips moved, "Anbei, you...I am old, and my children and grandchildren may not be able to learn..."

The old man was moved, so he used this clumsy method to decline.

Shen An smiled and said: "It's not complicated, it's really not complicated. Zhong Zhen has learned it before. The prince can ask him as much as he wants. The boy was too drunk and left."

If you are just adding and subtracting numbers, it is really not complicated. There are so many ways to do quick calculations.

He walked away in a hurry, followed by the Zhao family, who were all extremely moved.

Zhao Zhongzhen quickly followed.

"Brother Anbei, thank you very much."

In this era, a unique secret skill is the guarantee for the family's continued prosperity. For example, if a certain master of braised pork has a pot of old soup passed down to three generations, the skill is naturally passed down from son to daughter, and he will not accept apprentices. This is the reason.

Human nature is to satisfy yourself and your family first, and then think about the world.

Mental arithmetic and speed arithmetic are the secret skills of the Shen family, and they should be passed on to future children and grandchildren...

But Shen An unexpectedly threw away his secret technique, as if he had thrown away an old book.

Shen An went all the way to the backyard door, and then asked someone to call Guoguo.

Looking back, he said to Zhao Zhongzhen: "Is it okay for you to carry it on, and I can't help your family solve this problem?"

Yang Mo told him in private that Zhao Zhongzhen "would rather die than surrender" to protect his reputation, so Shen An's move could be regarded as reciprocating the favor.

Otherwise, Shen An would be happy to see Zhao Yun teach the whole family a lesson.

"elder brother!"

Guo Guo came out, her face flushed.

Shen An smiled and asked, "What did you eat?"

"It's hot pot."

The Shen family's hot pot has already blossomed and sprouted in the Prince's Mansion. Judging from Guo Guo's appearance, it was clear that she was quite satisfied with the food.

Shen An took his sister and said to Zhao Zhongzhen: "I forgot to tell you. Zhao Yunliang said that if this side ends before them, he will be fasted for three days."

Zhao Zhongzhen was happy when he heard it, thinking that his father-in-law would definitely like the news.

But he still insisted on sending Shen An to the gate.

After Shen An got on the horse, he hesitated for a moment, "Tell the prince that this matter has stung the official's heart after all, and the method of mental arithmetic is at the prince's disposal."

Since you want to give a favor, don’t be stingy!

This secret skill is for you!

This aura was so astonishing that Zhao Zhongzhen couldn't help but salute: "Thank you, Brother Anbei."

This friendship is priceless!

Shen An nodded slightly, then rode away.

I have many abilities, so don't be surprised, otherwise I may not be able to keep my chin in the future.

After Zhao Yunliang heard this, he said to his children and grandchildren: "Anbei's generous move is of great benefit to my family. But he did it for Zhong Zhen's sake, Thirteenth Lang, don't forget his friendship."

Zhao Zongshi responded seriously.

Someone asked in confusion: "Dad, what is the friendship?"

Zhao Yunrang picked up the book and said with a leisurely look: "It can make up for the friendship that has angered the officials this time, and it can make Zhao Yunliang go on a hunger strike for three days."

He said seriously to his descendants: "You must remember the friendship of others. Friendship is very important. Only by paying it back can you feel relaxed..."

…

"Officials, please see the King of Runan County, and please see the King of Huayuan County."

Zhao Zhen hummed, "Why did the two of them come together?"

After the two of them came in, Zhao Yunliang said: "Officials, I... I found that there is a problem in those account books, involving the entry and exit of more than 3,000 yuan..."

As he said this, he glanced at Zhao Yunrang and felt funny in his heart.

Old guy, do you think I’m trying to steal speed?

Pooh!

After discovering this corruption problem, all I want to think about is how to completely make you disgraced.

Look, my family is dedicated to serving the public good, but when calculating the accounts, we do not forget to look for corruption. Who dares to question this sense of responsibility?

But what about you, Zhao Yunrang?

Counting up to now, your family is said to be not as fast as mine, and what have you discovered?

Zhao Zhen was startled, then he took the account book, opened it and found the highlighted area, and praised: "Good!"

Zhao Yunliang felt proud and raised his eyebrows at Zhao Yunrang.

"Don't be too proud."

Zhao Yunrang said calmly: "I heard that you said that if my family is faster than yours, you will go on a hunger strike for three days?"

Zhao Yunliang did not hesitate: "Yes, what about you?"

Zhao Yunrang nodded, "Okay, I'll take three days too."

As he spoke, he held out his hand.

Snapped!

Zhao Zhen just shook his head when he saw it, thinking that these two people were probably enemies in the previous life.

Zhao Yunliang smiled and said: "In the official family, I have a very good accountant here. He can calculate a book in no time..."

He has shown his advantages, and the evidence of corruption has just been discovered. You, Zhao Yunrang, go home quickly and prepare for a hunger strike.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Yunrang with interest, thinking that this old guy had a bad temper. If he lost, his children and grandchildren would probably be scolded bloody.

So many descendants!

Zhao Zhen was a little jealous.

Then he actually had some hope of seeing Zhao Yunrang fail.

Zhao Yunrang began to fumble around in his arms, looking at Zhao Yunliang provocatively as he did so.

Zhao Yunliang just sneered. When Zhao Yunrang took out a book, he smiled and said, "What is this? Did you find an only copy?"

The solitary copy is of little use, and there are many in the prince's palace.

Unless you present Wang Xizhi's authentic work, the officials will consider exempting your family from punishment.

Zhao Zhen also felt that Zhao Yunrang was too wishful thinking, so his face turned cold and he was not prepared to give him face.

"Guan family, this is..."

Zhao Yunrang handed the book over and said calmly: "This is the method of mental arithmetic..."

What?

Zhao Zhen's reserve and coldness dissipated, and he hurriedly reached out to take the book, and then read it eagerly.

"...Subtraction, decompose a number into the remainder of ten minus..., then subtract ten and add the remainder, which is the final answer..."

Zhao Zhen thought about two numbers, then calculated them in his head, and then calculated them carefully several times, and then said gaffefully: "Wonderful!"

He saw another convenient way and couldn't bear it anymore.

There were masters of mental arithmetic in history, but their methods were never passed down. There were also such talents in the Song Dynasty, but they also had no teaching materials that could be passed on.

Mental arithmetic was of great significance to the Song Dynasty. If some important yamen could use this method of calculation, the efficiency would be much faster.

Many times, speed is everything!

"Okay! Someone is here."

"Official family."

"Sent to Shen An."

Zhao Yunliang below was already dumbfounded. He was about to say that the book belonged to Shen An, but Zhao Zhen said it first.

What does this mean?

Wouldn't it be regarded as Zhao Yunrang's contribution?

Zhao Zhen didn't have time to pay attention to these two old guys, so he said casually: "The Huayuan County King has done a good job in the search, and the account book has been reduced by half."

"Thank you, officials."

Zhao Yuanliang felt proud, and then raised his eyebrows at Zhao Yunrang again.

Zhao Yunrang felt aggrieved, but he had to endure it. He didn't expect the official's reaction to be so big, so big that they even ignored him.

But this can be considered good news, at least Shen An shines.

Zhao Yunrang comforted himself in this way, but just thinking about going on a hunger strike for three days, he couldn't help but complain secretly.

"go Go!"

Zhao Zhen drove people away very perfunctorily.

Zhao Yunrang felt a chill in his heart and turned around to go out with Zhao Yunliang.

"After three days of hunger strike, I will send someone to keep an eye on it. If it is a lie..."

Zhao Yunliang wished he could laugh three times, but this was a bit rude, so he just raised his head and laughed silently, his body even trembling slightly.

I'm so happy!

"Hey! I forgot."

Zhao Zhen's voice came from behind: "Chen Zhongheng."

"In the official family, the ministers are here."

"Take back all the account books from the Runan County Prince's Mansion and return them to the Third Division."

As they were talking, the two of them happened to be leaving the palace door. Zhao Yunliang stumbled when his feet faltered. Fortunately, there was a guard nearby who reached out to support him, otherwise his teeth would probably have been lost.

He did not thank the guard, because Zhao Yun let the old man spit venom from his mouth.

"I already knew the outcome. I just endured it because I wanted to see how proud you were. This man! Knocking him down with a stick when he was at his most proud, what a feeling...why am I so happy?"

The old guy started acting like a hooligan outside the palace, and said triumphantly: "Today I am just happy to go home... Whoever wants to go, I will entertain guests and drink, hahahaha!"

The guards and chamberlains all looked at him dumbfounded, thinking that this man really didn't have the grace of a clan elder to hit his enemy like this.

When Zhao Yunrang saw Zhao Yunliang's dull expression, he patted him on the shoulder and said sternly: "I'm going home to drink. You go home... drink water, drink slowly, don't choke!"

After the hunger strike, I could only drink water.

Later, Shen An met these two old enemies outside the palace gate.

Zhao Yunliang said nothing, his face as dark as black charcoal.

But Zhao Yunrang was scolding him proudly. UU reading www.uukanshu.net

"Anbei, you came just in time. Look, look at Zhao Yunliang. Now you are waiting for the person arranged by me to arrive. When the time comes, go to his house and watch him on a hunger strike for three days. Anbei, it is all your fault! Haha. Ha ha!"

Zhao Yunliang slowly raised his head, saw Shen An dismounting and came over, and asked sullenly: "Why are you willing to give your secret skills to Zhao Yunrang? That will make your Shen family rich for a long time, why are you doing this? But Zhao Yunrang forced Is it yours? If you say so, I will make the decision for you."

Shen An smiled and said: "The prince has overthought this matter. If Shen had not been willing, no one else would have been able to obtain this secret skill, and no one would have been able to do it."

He was very proud when he said this, but he was also very confident.

Zhao Yunliang originally had extravagant hopes, but now that he got Shen An's answer, he couldn't help but despair.

What would it be like to go without food for three days? Can you survive it?

…

It's the last few days of this month. If you have monthly passes or whatever, please support them and give them to the real man.
