Start by traveling through the Widow's Village

In the face of Li Guangxing's inquiry, Mo Wentian immediately prepared to come out to help Xiao Yuan explain, but was stopped by Li Guangxing with his eyes.

Just now, Qin Yuncai was in the ring, if Xiao Yuan hadn't sent the weapon in a hurry, I am afraid that he would have lost a long time ago, which is like now, and it has saved some face for their military.

So Li Guangxing jumped out now, not to embarrass Xiao Yuan, but to give him a chance to explain, now there are many civil officials in the hall, Xiao Yuan's sentence is unintentional, saying that he will not be caught by some people with intentions, and then make a big fuss.

"That... The minister is still young, and the official position is also small, so I want to distinguish it from the adults, so I call myself a small minister!" Xiao Yuan touched the back of his head a little at a loss and explained in a low voice.

Looking at his humble appearance, everyone was not impressed, Tang Jiemin waved his hand even more, and said: "It's okay, I heard that you are good at couplets, the upper link from Beiyou before, you gave the lower link in a moment, but this matter?"

"This..." Xiao Yuan hesitated for a moment before nodding and said: "There is indeed such a thing, but what the minister is good at is not the couplet, and he dare not guarantee that he can match all the couplets!"

Tang Jiemin was stunned, and then seemed to think of something, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said with a smile: "Then what are you best at, craftsman, or medical skills?"

Chen is better at arithmetic!" Xiao Yuan touched his nose and replied.

"Arithmetic?" Xiao Yuan's words not only made Tang Jiemin stunned for a moment, but even Mo Wentian who was familiar with him looked surprised.

He doesn't know how Xiao Yuan's medical skills are, but Ruyue's body is indeed getting better and better day by day, which means that Xiao Yuan's attainments in medical skills are probably no worse than imperial doctors, but this kind of ability is actually not what he is best at?

As for the ability of craftsmen, let alone say, whether it is a new stirrup, or the art of salt making, according to Xiao Yuan, it can be counted into the category of craftsmen, but what physics and chemistry he is talking about, Mo Wentian does not understand very well.

But arithmetic ... He really hadn't seen it, and he didn't know how powerful Xiao Yuan's arithmetic was.

An old man walked out with a smile on his face and asked, "I don't know what you have learned?" Xiao

Yuan scratched his head, this question he really couldn't answer, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "I don't know how to say, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can come up with a question to take the test!" When

Tang Jiemin heard this, he smiled at the old man who stood up just now and said: "In that case, then Xiahou Fuzi, and take the test of our Count De'an." "

The old man known as Xiahou Fuzi is Xiahou Lin, a famous arithmetic master in Kyoto, and his ancestor Xiahou Yang is a generation of arithmetic grandmasters, and the book "Xiahou Yang" written by him is one of the must-read works for every arithmetic student.

So for everyone who learns arithmetic, Old Master Xiahou still likes it very much.

It's just that he doesn't know Xiao Yuan's arithmetic level either, and he is worried that the topic is too difficult, which will make Xiao Yuan unable to get off the stage, but if the question is too simple, it will not serve the purpose of temptation.

So after thinking about it, he said: "Today there are pheasants in the same cage, counting from above, there are thirty-five heads, counting from below, there are ninety-four feet, how many pheasants are there?"

He came up with this question for a reason, this question is from the "Sun Tzu Suanjing", which is a very famous topic in the arithmetic world, if Xiao Yuan has not studied arithmetic, he definitely does not know how to calculate.

When he was teaching in the Hanlin Academy, he had such a question, even if he had studied the "Sun Tzu Arithmetic Sutra", he could not answer it for a while, and only those students who were very good in arithmetic could give an answer in a short time after calculation.

It's just that when he finished reading his topic, Xiao Yuan thought a little in his heart, and then opened his mouth and replied: "Rabbit twelve, pheasant twenty-three

!" Xia Houlin was stunned, and asked in surprise: "How do you know

the answer?" Xiao Yuan was a little confused by his question, and replied: "The answer is calculated!" This

kind of chicken and rabbit cage problem, placed in the later life, is at the elementary school level, which is too simple for him.

This is also why Xiao Yuan said that he is good at arithmetic.

Whether it is poetry or couplets, if he meets him, then he can easily crush the other party, but if the other party does not play cards according to the routine, and makes a mistake that he will not, isn't it bad?

Even if you are a genius, you can't calculate it so quickly! Honestly, have you ever seen the exact same topic?" Xia Houlin's head shook and he said with some disbelief.

Although the topic was given by him, he had said this question when he was teaching students in the Hanlin Academy before, maybe Xiao Yuan had heard this question somewhere.

Everyone looked at the two curiously, no one needed to say, Xiao Yuan's answer must be correct, otherwise Old Master Xiahou would not be so excited.

Xiao Yuan smiled and said: "The solution to this problem is very simple, because rabbits have four legs and chickens only have two legs, so I first assume that let them lift two legs at the same time, so that the number of rabbits can be obtained!" "How can you make rabbits and chickens

raise their legs at the same time?" asked Wei Ziwu on the side, with an incredulous face.

"That... General Wei, I'm talking about hypothesis, don't really let them lift their legs!" Xiao Yuan was a little embarrassed, this General Wei's focus was really a little peculiar.

"Ziwu, don't interrupt Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan, you continue..." Tang Jiemin also became a little interested in Xiao Yuan's problem-solving ideas, and said.

And Xia Houlin was already thinking down at this time.

"Yes, Your Majesty, after the chickens and rabbits each lift two legs, how many legs are left in the cage?" Xiao Yuan said with a smile: "The answer has been given in the question, there are thirty-five chickens and rabbits, there are ninety-four legs, then they lift two legs at the same time, then they raise seventy legs, and the remaining legs in the cage are twenty-four, because the rabbit has raised two legs, so the remaining legs are removed by half, which is the number of rabbits, twelve!" With the number of rabbits, then the total number is reduced, and the number of chickens is twenty-three!" After

Xiao Yuan finished speaking, many people suddenly realized that this method of explanation was easy to understand, even military personnel who had not read books could understand it.

Xia Houlin swallowed his saliva, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Yuan became different, although he could also solve the answer, but it was definitely not as easy as Xiao Yuan.

"Let me ask you again, I don't know the number of things today, two of the three and three, three of the five and five, two of the seven and seven, ask the geometry of things?" Xia Houlin suddenly raised his head, looked at Xiao Yuan, and asked.

Xiao Yuan was stunned, this is suddenly upgraded from the elementary school topic?
