Madam, protect me!

The reasons given by Li Nuo were so sufficient.

Song Jiaren didn't know what to say.

He is like a child, simple and straightforward.

Looking at Li Nuo, Song Jiaren suddenly realized something and asked, "Do you remember the past?"

Li Nuo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This is what I remembered."

Song Jiaren didn't speak again.

Sometimes he is too smart, and sometimes he is so childish. No wonder Muer likes him so much. Of course the two children can play together.

At this time, Song Muer looked up at Li Nuo and said, "Brother Li Nuo, let's go play shuttlecock..."

Li Nuo touched her head and said, "You and sister Jiaren go to play, brother is going to read a book..."

Song Muer did not pester Li Nuo, put away the shuttlecock, and said obediently: "Then I won't kick it anymore. I haven't finished my math homework yet. Brother Li Nuo, you read a book, okay?"

Li Nuo smiled and said, "Of course."

Looking at such a well-behaved Mu'er, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. They were both born to the same parents. They even looked exactly the same. They grew up in the same place. How could Song Muer and Song Ning'er have such a big personality gap...

One is sweet and sensible and always smiles, while the other is unruly and willful and only cries. Comparing the two, he certainly likes Mu'er more.

Besides, the lady herself is the same, she spends the whole day with Mu'er...

He can't live with his wife?

The room was a little dim at this time. Li Nuo was reading in the pavilion in the yard. Song Muer took out a booklet from her bag, biting the pen for a while, then biting her fingers, her delicate brows gradually frowning...

Li Nuo was reading the "Laws of Daxia". When he was mediating and judging the case today, he found that the laws of Daxia were still very different from those of modern times. Many legal provisions had a strong feudal flavor.

According to modern legal rulings, it sometimes violates the laws of Bactria.

A large part of the reason is due to etiquette and law. Taking marriage as an example, marriage is free in later generations. However, here, the marriage between a man and a woman must have the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Only in this way can it comply with etiquette and law, and gain public recognition and legal protection. , otherwise it is an elopement, and elopements are not protected by law. If the eloped man and woman are captured, the families of both men and women have a certain degree of discretion.

Another part of the reason is due to inferiority.

In future generations, everyone will be equal before the law..., at least on the surface.

But here, people are divided into three, six or nine levels. The king's power is greater than the minister's power, the official power is greater than the civil power, and the sovereignty is greater than the servant's power. Specifically, if the master kills a slave and a subordinate, he only needs to fine a few copper coins and silver taels, but if the slave commits a crime, It usually started with hanging. If the powerful oppressed the common people, they could be exempted from punishment to a certain extent. If the civilians offended the powerful, they would be punished with an additional penalty.

However, according to the Legalist classics, Li Nuo also discovered that what the strong Legalists followed did not seem to be the laws of a certain dynasty or a certain generation.

A dynasty has its own laws, and the laws of the same dynasty will continue to change with time and circumstances. Not all laws are correct and just, and changes occur from time to time.

Legalists follow not the law on paper, but the law in their hearts.

Everyone has a steelyard in their heart. Legalists enforce the law and adhere to the laws in their hearts. They do not stick to the laws of one generation and sometimes even go against the laws. Different Legalist disciples have different views on one of the "laws" Words have different understandings.

"The law in your heart..."

Li Nuo looked ahead and murmured these three words, pondering the deeper meaning.

Practicing the "law" is actually cultivating the "heart." Doesn't it mean that as long as he thinks it is right, he can do without referring to the law at all. However, there are too many laws in Daxia that Li Nuo can't stand. In this case, , he is breaking the law by revising the law.

Strictly speaking, Li Nuo breaks the law every day.

After all, he did not have an official status, and it was against the laws of Daxia to judge cases and sentence him to prison.

But for Legalist disciples, the "Dharma in the heart" is greater than the "Dharma on paper".

As long as he completely follows his heart and practices the justice in his heart, he will be able to enter the Legalist school sooner or later.

At this time, Song Jiaren, who was wiping the sword in her hand in the courtyard, suddenly turned her head and looked at Li Nuo.

Just for a moment, she felt a strange aura on Li Nuo's body.

But when she looked over, that feeling disappeared.

After a while, Li Nuo gradually came back to his senses.

The book says that every Legalist disciple has his own path. If you stick too much to the law on paper, it will be difficult to achieve great results. Li Nuo seems to have realized this. The law should maintain fairness and justice. , but most of the time, it is just a tool to protect the interests of the ruler. In the end, Legalism will definitely break out into conflict with the ruling class. Therefore, the strong ones in Legalism have never had a good ending.

"Brother Li Nuo, how do you solve this problem?"

Song Muer's charming voice interrupted Li Nuo's thinking, and Li Nuo said casually: "Brother is thinking about something, go ask your beautiful sister - Hey, where is your beautiful sister?"

Li Nuo turned around and took a look. Why did the lady who was standing there just now suddenly disappear?

The lady had no hope, so Li Nuo had to take Song Muer's booklet. There were many questions on this page, all of which were simple mixed operations within three digits. Song Muer had finished writing the other questions, leaving only the last one.

"There are pheasants and rabbits in the same cage today. There are twenty-seven heads on top and seventy-two legs on the bottom. How many are the chickens and rabbits?"

This is a very simple chicken and rabbit in the same cage problem. Just formulate a system of linear equations in two variables.

Li Nuo picked up the pen and said while writing: "Let's assume that there are "A" chickens and "B" rabbits. According to the title, we can know that "A" plus "B" equals twenty-seven, twice as many "A" plus four times "B" equals seventy-two, giving both sides of the first equation Multiply by two at the same time to get twice "A" plus twice "B" equal to fifty-four. Then subtract the third equation from the second equation to get twice "B" equal to ten Eight, so B equals nine and A equals eighteen, which means eighteen chickens and nine rabbits..."

After finishing writing, Li Nuo looked at Song Muer and asked, "Do you understand?"

Song Muer's eyes were clear and she shook her head simply: "I don't understand."

Li Nuo scratched his head. He was thinking about his own affairs just now, but he had forgotten that Mu'er was only six years old. For her, equations were not something she could understand yet. He thought for a while, and then said: "We will do it tonight I want to eat spicy rabbit legs and braised chicken legs. Now I have to use up one leg from all the rabbits and chickens. How many legs are left in the cage?”

Song Muer replied without thinking: "Seventy-two minus twenty-seven, there are still forty-five legs left."

Li Nuo added: "There are many people in our family, and one leg is not enough. We have to use one of their legs. How many legs are left in the cage now?"

Song Muer replied: "Forty-five minus twenty-seven, there are still eighteen legs left."

Li Nuo continued to guide her and said: "Rabbits have four legs, chickens only have two legs. All the chicken legs have been made into braised chicken legs. The rabbits have two legs left. So how many rabbits are there?"

Song Muer suddenly realized and said happily: "I know, half of eighteen is nine, there are nine rabbits in total, twenty-seven minus nine equals eighteen, the answer is eighteen chickens and nine rabbits!"

On the roof of the small courtyard, Song Jiaren counted with her fingers and said in surprise: "So that's how it was calculated..."

When she was as old as Mu'er, her family also hired a math teacher for her. She vaguely remembers that there seemed to be a problem with keeping chickens and rabbits in the same cage. She didn't like math at that time and always sneaked away to practice martial arts. Only now did I realize that the problem that seemed so difficult at that time was actually so simple...

If the arithmetic teacher at that time had taught her this way, she wouldn't have been mad at her.

Arithmetic is much more difficult for her than martial arts training.

So when Li Nuo mentioned her, she immediately jumped to the roof.

Song Jiaren lowered her head and glanced at the figure in the pavilion.

Solve crimes, compose poetry, and do math.

She doesn't know these things.

Looking at the figure giving the lecture to Mu'er, she secretly envied her: "It's so amazing..."

After Li Nuo explained the topic to Mu'er, he looked around and finally found his wife on the roof. Song Jiaren glanced at him, jumped off the roof, and landed lightly on the ground.

Li Nuo watched her jump from the two-foot-high roof, her movements were smooth and graceful, and she landed without even a sound. He was secretly envious in his heart: "How amazing!"

If he had jumped from such a high place, he would have lost both of his legs...
