Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 601: Talk to Gu Yong

"One hundred thousand refugees have poured into Bingzhou. Without Yuantan's help, I don't know when the refugees will be properly resettled."

"The Marquis of Jin has many talents under his command. Even if he doesn't have a humble position, he can definitely handle the refugee issue. The humble position is just a good opportunity." Gu Yong said.

"How does Yuan Tan feel about Bingzhou?" Lu Bu asked.

Gu Yong's heart moved, and he knew that this was Lu Bu's attempt to win over him. Although he served in Bingzhou, he did not recognize Lu Bu as his master. "Marquis of Jin, I feel that Bingzhou is a good thing in my humble position. This is the expense of refugees recorded by my humble position. Please take a look at it, Marquis of Jin."

." He didn't want to get too entangled with Lu Bu on this matter. If Bingzhou was really suitable for him, he would stay without Lu Bu's persuasion.

Lu Bu frowned slightly after looking through a few of them with a smile. He rarely asked about the matters in Bingzhou's account books before, but seeing the densely packed words on them always gave people a very uncomfortable feeling.

After closing the account book, Lu Bu asked with a smile: "I wonder how Yuan Tan's arithmetic is?"

Gu Yong didn't know why Lu Bu asked this question. Could it be that the records in the account books were wrong? Gu Yong had absolute confidence in himself. He had checked the contents repeatedly, and there was definitely no error.

"My record of Guanyuan Tan is very complicated, but I have a very simple method." Lu Bu said with a smile.

Gu Yong looked at Lu Bu doubtfully. He had never heard of a simpler method. What he recorded was simple enough and seemed clear at a glance. This was also recognized by the officials of the Prefecture and Mufu.

"If I convert all these words into numbers, it will be more clear." Lu Bu did not want to argue with Gu Yong on the issue of ancient arithmetic. After all, his understanding of ancient arithmetic can only be regarded as a rookie level.

After speaking, Lu Bu took a piece of paper and explained to Gu Yong the Arabic numerals of later generations.

Gu Yong's eyes lit up. He had never heard of this method before, but after Lu Bu's demonstration, it was indeed extremely convenient and looked clearer.

"May I ask the Marquis of Jin, who created this method?" Gu Yong said with a cup of his hands. As a scholar, what he likes to study most is things he has never been exposed to, especially a talented man like Gu Yong.

Lu Bu was silent for a moment and said: "This method is the work of my laziness." If he and Gu Yong were to explain why these numbers are Arabic numerals, it would definitely take a lot of time. Besides, how could people of this era know Arabic?

, it is better to steal this method and make some contribution to ancient culture.

Gu Yong looked at Lu Bu dumbfounded. Even though Lu Bu was a close disciple of Cai Yong, and Cai Yong had always praised Lu Bu highly, however, Lu Bu's image in front of others was that of a reckless and martial artist. Even he was not optimistic that Lu Bu would be a literary talent.

What a great achievement, but this method really shocked Gu Yong. In his eyes, this was no longer just laziness, but a huge creation. However, Lu Bu said it was a work of laziness. If he let

All the literati in the world would be ashamed if they knew this.

As if to divert Gu Yong's attention, Lu Bu said with a smile: "Yuan Tan's arithmetic is certainly not weak. How about I compete with you?"

Gu Yongzheng wanted to learn something, but he didn't refuse.

"Suppose there are twelve soldiers in a group when viewed from the front and twelve when viewed from the side. How many soldiers are there in total?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

Gu Yong frowned slightly when he heard this, thought for a moment and said, "There are one hundred and forty-four people."

Although Lu Bu was surprised by Gu Yong's calculation ability, in later generations, even elementary school students could calculate such a problem.

Lu Bu said with a smile: "Yuan Tan is really proficient in arithmetic. If there are one hundred soldiers in the army, the first group has one soldier, the second group has two soldiers, and so on. The first hundred soldiers have one hundred soldiers, then one hundred soldiers

How many soldiers are there in the army?"

Gu Yong fell into a long silence and frowned tightly. In his opinion, this question was too complicated.

Lu Bu smiled and said: "Actually, this problem is also very simple. There is one soldier in the first division, and ninety-nine soldiers in the ninety-ninth division. In total, there are one hundred people."

Gu Yong's eyes lit up. He was thinking about how to add the soldiers from the hundreds of tribes together one by one. He couldn't help but raise his hands and said: "The Marquis of Jin is a great talent."

"This is not a great talent. I have a formula here. After Yuan Tan learns it, he can do arithmetic with twice the result with half the effort."

Gu Yong hurriedly raised his hands and said: "What virtue and ability are there in a humble position? The Marquis of Lao Jin is like this." If Lu Bu taught this method to him, although the two of them did not have the title of master and disciple, they would have the actual status of master and disciple.

It is extremely important, and it also means that Gu Yong will have to think carefully if he wants to leave Bingzhou in the future.

Lu Bu didn't think much about it at all, and just asked Gu Yong to come to the Prefecture Mufu to pick it up the next day.

As soon as Gu Yong left, Guo Jia asked to see him for something, and Lu Bu also stopped writing.

Without outsiders around, Guo Jia was much more relaxed than other officials in Bingzhou. Firstly, he knew that Lu Bu was truly approachable, and the two of them were sworn brothers.

"My lord, this time there are thirteen families in Jinyang City involved in the Superintendent's Office. After verification, my subordinates have ordered people to transfer all the assets of the thirteen families into the government treasury. However, the descendants of these families must be interested in

Bingzhou hates it very much." Guo Jiadao said that this was what worried him the most. Although Lu Bu treated the aristocratic family cruelly, he only dealt with the culprits, and most of the others were added to the road construction army together with the Xianbei people.

If these people leave Bingzhou with the help of others, it will be a disaster for Bingzhou. This is why Guo Jia asked to see Lu Bu.

Lu Bu said: "Don't worry if you are a filial piety. These families are doing whatever they want in Bingzhou. Of course they have to pay something for Bingzhou. It is easiest to execute them." When dealing with these families, it offends the family and gains the people's support.

If the people sincerely support them, even if the family intends to do evil, it will be difficult to succeed. Besides, the Bingzhou army is strong. Unless these people are not afraid of death and are as tyrannical as the Xianbei people, they will still be contributing to the path of Bingzhou.

Seeing that Lu Bu had not changed his intention to persist, Guo Jia could only think of having people take good care of these family members when he returned. If anything was found to be wrong, he would be killed immediately. As a counselor, he must kill all those who threaten him.

Kill things.

"What is my lord writing about?" Guo Jia glanced at the paper placed on the table and asked.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "I just talked to Gu Yuantan about the account books and told him another simpler method."

Guo Jiali thought deeply and said: "So that's how it is. I just met Mr. Gu and saw that he was a little distracted."
