Chapter 1417 Two Child Prodigy
"Your Majesty, this is an abacus formula. You only need to memorize it backwards, and you can calculate addition and subtraction with the help of an abacus. No matter how huge the number is, the result can be calculated quickly, which is convenient and quick."
Sitting in the spacious and bright office, Fang Xuanling introduced the abacus and abacus formulas to His Majesty Li Er, and called two children to demonstrate on the spot for His Majesty Li Er.
"These two dolls are students in the school, and they learn very quickly. Your Majesty might as well give them an arithmetic problem to test the magic of the abacus."
His Majesty Li Er naturally knew the abacus.
This kind of calculation tool that Fang Jun clearly understood is still popular in the Tang Dynasty, but His Majesty Li Er, whose mind is always above state affairs, has not had a deep understanding of it.In his mind, it's just a calculation tool, what does it matter if the calculation is faster or slower?
It's just that this abacus formula is interesting, so I randomly wrote an inscription on the paper: "One thousand three thousand nine hundred and eighty five plus twenty one thousand seven hundred and forty two minus eight thousand five hundred and three ten... ..." Putting down the pen, he glanced at the two dolls who were obviously a little nervous. He felt that the dolls were too small and this question was a bit difficult, so he said kindly: "Calculate slowly, a stick of incense..."
Before the words finished, I saw the two dolls, each with an abacus, flipping the abacus beads, but they said in unison: "Return to Your Majesty, it is equal to twenty-seven thousand one hundred and ninety land."
His Majesty Li Er almost bit his own tongue, his eyeballs were all round...
How can it be so fast?
Such a complicated number, for such a young child, if he can calculate the answer correctly with a stick of kung fu, it will be great. Arithmetic problems are not difficult, but the difficulty is that the calculation of huge numbers requires patience and can not make mistakes, but this is only a blink of an eye What's the matter with Kung Fu?
Such a small child would not have the guts to fool me...
His Majesty Li Er was surprised, he didn't feel ashamed to calculate it himself, he turned around and asked Fang Xuanling, "Ai Qing, is it correct or not?"
Fang Xuanling himself took an abacus and calculated it, and said with a smile, "It's correct."
His Majesty Li Er slapped his thigh excitedly, and praised: "Good thing! If you have an abacus and this set of abacus formulas, it will surely save time and improve the accuracy of the annual review and calculation by the Ministry of Accounting in the future, which is rare. ,rare……"
This is indeed a good thing.
But when he was talking, he saw the two little dolls couldn't help curling their lips...
His Majesty Li Er asked curiously: "Why, you two think what I said is wrong?"
Of the two little dolls, one was thin and weak, the other was carved with jade, and they were a little scared facing His Majesty the Emperor.The same agile eyes looked at each other, and in the end it was the little doll carved in pink and jade, who dared to bow and salute like an adult, and said in a low voice: "Return to Your Majesty... In fact, when the teacher usually teaches us arithmetic, The exercises are all taken from the Taishi Bureau, and the movements of the sun, moon and five stars are calculated according to the zodiac..."
His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but blush in surprise.
People usually calculate astronomy and calendar, but I gave a crappy addition and subtraction problem...
Hiding up to the sky to hide his embarrassment, His Majesty Li Er sincerely admired Fang Xuanling: "Ai Qing is really knowledgeable about heaven and man. She can develop such a set of abacus formulas and teach such excellent students. I really admire her." Endless."
Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Your Majesty is absurd. The abacus formula was invented by my incompetent Erlang. In fact, it has been around since the abacus was created, but it has never been promoted. As for these two dolls, they are not the disciples of the old minister. The one who taught them arithmetic was Li Chunfeng, Taishi Cheng."
His Majesty Li Er was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Your family's stick is really...talented!"
What can I say?
As for Fang Jun's ability to be unique in the world in terms of inventions and creations, even the supreme being in the world has to write a big "convincing" word!
At this time, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism had not yet been born, and the social form in which all things were inferior and only high-level reading had not yet emerged. Even Confucian students were not ignorant of worldly affairs, and their pragmatic atmosphere was more intense.Therefore, few people open their mouths and say nonsense such as "exotic skills and obscenity", and generally give positive treatment to some inventions and creations that can improve the national economy and people's livelihood.
It's just that His Majesty Li Er felt a little embarrassed.
A few days ago, he was determined to dismiss Fang Jun from Beijing, but now he has to praise him...
"Both of you were servants of the Fang family?"
His Majesty Li Er avoided embarrassment, and asked these two dolls gently. In fact, he was indeed delighted by the intelligence of these two dolls.
The two dolls quickly replied: "Student Di Renjie, a native of Bingzhou, family ancestor Shangshu Zuocheng Di Xiaoxu."
"Student from Wuzhou, my father is Luo Luyuan, magistrate of Bochang County."
His Majesty Li Er can't remember who Luo Luyuan is, but the Luo family in Wuzhou has never heard of it, obviously he is not a family member.Di Xiaoxu just took up the post of Minister Zuo Cheng not long ago, His Majesty Li Er naturally knew.
Can't help sighing: "They are all from poor families, smart and handsome, rare and rare."
What he likes most is to see the children from the poor family have a bright future, because they know how to work hard because of their poor and humble background, and they are more conscientious after becoming an official, unlike the children of aristocratic families who are so playful and only care about their own self-interest and ignore the righteousness of the empire.
Rejoiced in his heart, His Majesty Li Er pulled off the pair of dragon jade pendants from his waist, and said in comfort: "I reward you two with a carry-on item, which is not only to reward you two for your intelligence, but also to encourage you The two of you should not be complacent, you must continue to work hard, and there are not many people in this world who have such a blessing to be able to receive the careful teaching and cultivation of Fang Xiang. When the two of you grow up and take the imperial examination, I will be in the Tai Chi Hall, hand-picked by Zhu Bi , looking at you waiting for the hairpin tassels to wear flowers, straddling the streets!"
The two dolls blushed with excitement, carefully accepted the emperor's reward, and said in unison: "Di Renjie (Luo Binwang) will live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
His Majesty Li Er laughed loudly, and waved his hands to make the two of them retreat.
The room fell silent.
Fang Xuanling kept his eyes on his nose, his nose and his heart, holding a teacup in his hand, with a calm expression and kept silent.
His Majesty Li Er didn't know how to speak...
He is a hero of a lifetime, with a strong mind, a strong mind, a heroic spirit, and only the eternal life of the Tang Dynasty in his eyes. No matter who stands in front of this major premise, he can sacrifice it.
But he is also a loyal person, how can he have no affection for his old buddy who followed him in a sea of life and death?
Before, he felt that the prince was not suitable for the position of crown prince, so he wanted to get rid of Fang Jun, the most powerful humerus next to the prince. The Second Majesty will not hesitate.
However, facing Fang Xuanling now, how could he not have a trace of apology?
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect……
After a moment of silence, His Majesty Li Er asked warmly: "Has Aiqing ever been in better health? After all, she is getting older, and proper self-cultivation is still necessary. Don't work day and night like you did back then. Once you are exhausted, won't you Make someone feel guilty?"
Fang Xuanling was sick at home, even though his complexion looked very good and there was no trace of illness, His Majesty Li Er still spoke gently and sincerely.
Although everyone knows that Fang Xuanling is euphemistically expressing his dissatisfaction with His Majesty Li Er's intention to demote Fang Jun from Beijing, or his strong opposition to His Majesty Li Er's desire for Yi Chu ...
But His Majesty Li Er was not angry at all.
Based on his friendship with Fang Xuanling and the achievements Fang Xuanling has made over the years, he is qualified to express his different political views to His Majesty Li Er.
Fang Xuanling said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your conception, it's just that the Qi deficiency and weak body caught the wind and cold accidentally, it's not a serious problem."
His Majesty Li Er nodded and said: "Well, that's good, I will ask the palace to send some nourishing things over later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Then, it was a little cold...
After holding back, His Majesty Li Er couldn't hold back after all, and said displeasedly: "You are also so old, is it possible that you still have to lose your temper with someone? Isn't Fang Jun not punished after all? You don't have to do this .”
Instead of addressing "Ai Qing", she directly addressed her as "you", which seemed a bit impolite, but in fact, the atmosphere eased instantly.
After all, the fighting friendship for so many years is there, and Fang Xuanling has always been a selfless person. His Majesty Li Er doesn't think it is a big deal to play temper occasionally for the future of his children and grandchildren.
Fang Xuanling said indifferently: "If the old minister didn't complain about his illness and refused to go to court at home, would His Majesty choose Yi Zhe instead? You know what the old minister is talking about is not Fang Jun's impunity. In fact, the Fang family bathed in the emperor's favor and holy family Youlong, the whole clan is grateful to Dade, even if His Majesty demoted Fang Jun to a commoner, how dare he have the slightest bit of resentment?"
His Majesty Li Er's face sank.
He knew that Fang Xuanling was referring to the matter of Yi Chu...
However, this matter is a bone spur in His Majesty Li Er's heart, so how can it be easily changed?
