Happy Little Scholar

The Imperial Academy members who were filled with indignation just now and wanted to abolish the new arithmetic could only kneel in the hall fearfully, not even daring to raise their heads.

Including the great scholar who was kicked to the ground by Qin Huan, the Minister of Household Affairs. Although the three old men did not kneel down together, their faces were red with shame. Decades of good reputation were ruined in one day. If there was a crack in the ground in front of them. , I’m afraid I’ve already gotten in.

The words they used to criticize Li Yi just now can be applied to them now.

In addition to the fear in their hearts, several people felt extremely unbelievable.

Is the new arithmetic really so wonderful that it can enable a nine-year-old naughty boy to surpass a master of arithmetic who has been immersed in this art for decades?

"Tell me, where is your crime?" After being shocked, the expression on Emperor Jing's face had returned to calm. He glanced at the people kneeling on the ground and asked calmly.

"I should obey His Majesty's will carefully and should not have any doubts about... Mr. Li's new arithmetic."

The Imperial College offered wine and said in a trembling voice: "The calculation method we use is not as good as Li Xianzi's new calculation method, but what the Imperial College has obtained is only that new counting method. For what His Highness the King of Jin just mentioned, The most preferred question has not only been heard by me, but also by few people in the entire Imperial College and the whole world... Li Xianzi is really a genius. I sincerely request your majesty's permission to allow the Imperial College to appoint two doctors of mathematics to accompany you. The princes study together.”

After everyone in the Imperial College looked at each other for a few times, they all spoke out, admitting their mistakes sincerely, never mentioning the matters they had just remonstrated with, and greatly praised the new mathematics. They all expressed their willingness to learn advanced technology from Li Xianzi.

To sum up, the core meaning that a few people want to express is that it is not that we are too rubbish, everyone has been doing this for decades and hundreds of years, not just our country, but other countries as well. We will not bear the blame for the past, Li The county is so powerful, it is wise to promote the new arithmetic as soon as possible.

It's not that they don't want to take responsibility, it's that they simply can't bear the responsibility.

According to Mr. Qin, the amount of money lost to the treasury every year is a very scary amount. Even if their Imperial College is sold, they cannot afford to repay it!

Yan Bing, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, knelt in front of Emperor Jing, his face was ashen and defeated, and he said in a deep voice: "The calculation of military expenditures is not true, and I cannot absolve myself of the blame for my death..."

Emperor Jing personally helped him up, shook his head and said, "You are not to blame for this matter. If we really want to talk about it, I am also at fault. I should have asked Li Xianzi to implement this method in detail."

The Ministry of War was not responsible for this, but the Imperial College, which made Emperor Jing extremely disappointed.

"The Imperial Academy cannot escape the blame for not paying attention to the new arithmetic. All officials will be fined for one year as punishment." Emperor Jing looked at everyone in the Imperial Academy and said, "In addition, I will immediately summon the Doctor of Arithmetic and other students from the Imperial Academy to the palace. I want to see with my own eyes what the mathematical talents in our country are like.”

…

…

Jogging all the way back to his residence, before King Jin Li Han had time to take a breath, a eunuch sent a message to summon all the princes and princesses to Bowen Hall.

King Jin followed the eunuch anxiously and saw several princes waiting there.

He stepped forward to inquire about the situation and learned that his father wanted to test their homework. His heart suddenly skipped a beat. These days, he was only focused on swimming in the ocean of arithmetic. How could he remember any other homework?

In addition to a few brothers and sisters, there were actually more than ten strangers in the palace today, as if they were going to take the exam with them, which made King Jin feel even more uneasy.

With this kind of anxiety, after opening the test paper sent to him by a eunuch, the expression on King Jin's face was startled, and the next moment he showed a relaxed expression.

Oh, the chicken and rabbit problem, the depth of the well problem, and the length of the rope problem were all leftover from his game a long time ago. It didn’t take him long to figure out the answers. The following questions were a bit advanced, but they were given to him by Mr. It was copied from a pamphlet. Not even a single number was changed. He could write it with his eyes closed. Within a quarter of an hour, Li Han put down his pen. His father was watching not far away, not daring to do anything. Out of boredom, he looked at the people around him.

Princess Shouning frowned. She must have encountered some difficult problem that she couldn't solve. This is normal. What her husband taught in class was actually very simple. The real hell is actually the booklet that belongs only to you. Li Han still thinks that it was the punishment given to him by his husband because he bullied Yongning...

Li Mo next to him was biting the tip of his pen. It looked like he hadn't even answered the first question. Haha, you deserve it. You dare to laugh at yourself for being fat. What's wrong with being fat? Fat doesn't block his way. This time, he's waiting for his father. Shame on you in front of me.

Next to him, Li Xiang seems to have also encountered difficulties. Li Xiang has always been his staunch follower and has to help him no matter what. If he finds a way to let him copy it later, it will be in vain for him to follow him all the time...

What are those strangers doing? Why are they sweating on their foreheads? There are so many ice cubes and Bowen Hall is not hot at all. What a strange group of people...

Just when Li Han was sitting there and falling asleep due to boredom, all the students in the Imperial College of Accountancy, whose clothes were soaked with sweat, looked at the test papers in front of them and felt like the world was spinning...

Li Lei, Han Meimei, pool, release water, enter water------Is this really an arithmetic problem?

With doubts about life, everyone feels that even the future has become gloomy...

In a secluded corner of the palace, Emperor Jing and Qin Huan, the Minister of Household Affairs, were standing there, holding a test paper in their hands. The Imperial Academy members stood aside honestly, having already lost their previous arrogance.

"Your Majesty, the questions asked by Li Xianzi are really too clever. They can be used in reality, so that mathematics is not just on paper. It is conceivable that if the new mathematics can be promoted, it will definitely create a new situation." Qin Huan's eyes finally left the test paper and said in admiration.

As the Minister of Revenue, he is extremely sensitive to numbers and is naturally proficient in mathematics. At this moment, he finally couldn't help but speak.

Emperor Jing nodded, not too surprised. He was already used to Li Yi who could always create miracles and surprises.

"Your Majesty, one hour has come." Yan Bing stepped forward and reminded.

"Then go and take a look."

The princes and princesses and the mathematics students were driven out of the Bowen Hall. Except for the King of Jin, almost all the princes and princesses looked a little uneasy. The questions just now were much more difficult than what they usually did in class. Some of them were even unprecedented. They didn't move a word. This time they would definitely be scolded by their father.

"Li Mo, how did you do?"

"Li Xiang, how about you? Did you understand the gesture I just made for you?"

"Sister, you... Oh, nothing, nothing, the red hairpin you wore today is so beautiful..."

...

...

After asking everyone, Li Han couldn't hold back the pride on his face. You are still far behind me in mathematics!

Not far away, several young people from the Imperial College gathered together, all with bitter faces.

"Brother Chen, how about it, how many of the ten questions did you answer?"

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I only answered three..."

"Three, not bad, not bad, I only wrote down two."

"To be honest, I, I only solved one..."

...

...

Everyone is still confused about His Majesty's inexplicable test of mathematics. They were even more upset when they saw the questions on the test paper and had no idea where to start. Now they know that everyone is in the same situation, and they feel relieved.

They had never heard of those questions before, so it was understandable that they couldn't answer them. Everyone was at a similar level, so no one could laugh at anyone else.

It was just strange why His Majesty asked these princes and princesses to take the exam with them. They were just some naughty kids. Do they know what mathematics is? I'm afraid they can't even understand those questions?

The students thought so in their hearts, and suddenly saw several doctors coming out of the hall.

The head of the dean had a gloomy face, which made them feel bad.
