"How long will it take?"
Ying Ziye asked.
"Probably... at least a quarter of an hour!"
Fu Nian gritted her teeth, and superimposed one hundred numbers with the abacus.If you want to calculate it within a quarter of an hour, you probably have to use your abacus to make a fuss.
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this sentence, Ying Ziye shook his head and laughed.
"I thought the Confucian masters have any good methods? It turns out that it's just like an old donkey pulling a mill. It's still such a stupid method."
Fu Nian was ridiculed by the Prince of Qin, who he thought could not read a few words, for being an old donkey, and he was immediately angry.
"That Fu Nian wants to hear, what is His Highness the Crown Prince's opinion!"
Ying Ziye is naturally not polite, this is a Mathematical Olympiad problem he did in elementary school.Although the vast majority of elementary school students can do it now, this is a change in thinking.Once you understand the trick, you can solve it all at once.
"It doesn't take a quarter of an hour, the prince's time to drink tea can be calculated."
When all the scholars heard the words of Prince Da Qin, they felt a little disbelieving in their hearts.You can brag, but you can't brag too much, or you will be embarrassed...
Fu Nian stared straight at Prince Daqin, he really wanted to hear the other party's brilliant ideas.
"One plus 99 is one hundred."
"Two plus 98 is also one hundred."
"By analogy, 49 plus 51 is also one hundred."
When Fu Nian heard the method that Prince Daqin said, his eyes suddenly widened.What he said is indeed correct, and following this line of thinking, the one hundred numbers will be solved in an instant!
"Plus fifty and one hundred alone, there are 49 numbers from one to 49, naturally 49 one hundred, a total of five thousand and fifty."
Ying Ziye said quite casually.
The three Confucianists felt their scalps go numb. How on earth did Prince Daqin come up with this idea!
Such a good method is simply astonishing!
Fu Nian originally wanted to see the other party's joke, but he never thought that he would become a joke.
"His Royal Highness is a great talent, Xunzi is ashamed of himself!"
Xunzi originally wanted to have a good relationship with the Great Qin Empire, but now he is flattering him, without any hesitation.
Yan Lu also nodded in agreement, the method proposed by the other party is indeed very useful.If you want to plan, you will waste a lot of time.
If this is a method that a scholar came up with, his wisdom will be praised by everyone.But this is the method conceived by the land god Prince Qin. His strength is already strong enough, and now he is still thinking like this, which makes them a bunch of scholars a little ashamed...
The eldest son Fusu looked at the ninth younger brother with incredible eyes, and the other party could always bring him surprises.
"Can the master be convinced?"
Ying Ziye asked with a smile.
"It's true that His Royal Highness is a bit smart to be able to use an abacus, but Fu Nian doesn't think it's a big deal."
This guy is still talking hard.
"It's okay to be unconvinced, the prince has another question."
Ying Ziye smiled even more happily. When he was a child, he did a lot of Olympiad questions in order to win prizes.But he didn't intend to crush the opponent from the difficult questions, as long as he needed to use his brain to solve the small questions, Fu Nian could not solve them.
"It can't be another question that is forcibly added together. This kind of question is not interesting."
Fu Nian was afraid that the other party would come up with another similar question, and he didn't want to waste his brain on this.
"Today there are pheasant rabbits in the same cage, with 35 heads on the top and 94 feet on the bottom. How many are the pheasant rabbits?"
The question Ying Ziye raised was a classic chicken-and-rabbit problem.
The essence of this problem is a binary equation.If the teaching method is appropriate, primary school students can have a preliminary understanding of concepts such as unknowns and equations, and exercise the ability to abstract numbers from applied problems.Generally, in the fourth to sixth grades of primary school, it is taught in conjunction with linear equations in one unknown.
But to Fu Nian, equations and unknowns were too advanced, and he couldn't even grasp the concept of unknowns, let alone solve equations.
This question comes from Sun Tzu's arithmetic, but in the mainland of Kyushu, mathematics is infinitely stranded.Don't talk about the grandson's calculations, Zu Chongzhi, Zhang Heng and others have never appeared.At least he is now raising the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage, which is unsolvable.
Fu Nian heard the question given by His Royal Highness, and he immediately picked up the brush, trying to answer it with his knowledge of mathematics and science.
But it doesn't indicate how many chickens there are, nor how many rabbits there are... How to answer this?
Sitting in front of the white paper for a full quarter of an hour, Fu Nian froze without writing a single word.
"If you can know how many chickens there are, you can naturally know how many rabbits there are. But the number of chickens and rabbits is unknown. There is no answer to this question. Your Royal Highness, if you want to convince me, you don't need to use this This method is actually meaningless."
After Fu Nian realized that there was no solution to this question, resentment arose in his heart.
If you ask a question that has no answer, isn't the other party playing tricks on him?
Fu Nian is starting to suspect now that this is the topic that Prince Daqin made up casually, and the other party made it clear that he wanted to make a fool of him!
Chapter 145
"Hahahaha!"
Ying Ziye couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw Fu Nian's distraught look.
If you can't solve it, you say that there is no answer to this question. What kind of Confucianism is this? Isn't this just playing tricks?
"Mr. Fu Nian, if the Crown Prince tells you how many chickens there are, do you still need to calculate this problem? You think that you can't solve it, but your ability is insufficient, but it doesn't mean that this problem is unsolvable."
When the scholars heard what Prince Daqin said, they were still frantically thinking about how to solve this problem?
Even Xunzi picked up a pen to calculate, but he found that he couldn't figure out the answer at all.
In Ying Ziye's eyes, the scholars of this era are all liberal arts, and all of them have excellent endorsements.But in science, they are a blank slate.
"Forget it, the crown prince will not make things difficult for you. This problem not only has a solution, but also has many solutions. The crown prince will choose the two simplest ways to tell you."
Knowing that there is a solution to the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage, and there are two simplest solutions, everyone is a little dumbfounded.
They can't even think of one, but there are two easiest ways...
You know, they are all extremely intelligent scholars in the eyes of the world!Why is their wisdom useless in front of the Great Qin Prince now?
"Put 35 heads on the top and 94 feet on the bottom. Half the feet, you get 47, use the less to reduce the more, and then order it, the upper three divides the lower four, the upper five divides the lower seven, the lower one divides the upper three, and the lower two divides the upper Five, that's it."
Ying Ziye said the first solution.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but they haven't reacted yet.But when they wrote down the other party's words on paper, they verified it with specific data and found that it was really the case!
This!
What is the method?
Simply unheard of!
The so-called "upper setting" and "lower setting" refer to placing the numbers on the calculation board according to the upper and lower rows.Put the number 35 on the first line of the counting tray, put the number 94 on the second line, and divide the number of feet by two. At this time, the first line is 35, and the second line is 47.Subtract the larger number of half feet from the smaller number of heads, subtract thirty from forty (the upper three divided by the lower four), and seven subtract five (the upper five divided by the lower seven).At this time, the down line is twelve, 35 minus twelve (the next divides the upper three, the lower two divides the upper five) to get 23.At this time, the counting chip remaining in the first line is the number of chickens, and the counting chip in the second line is the number of rabbits.
From Ying Ziye's point of view, this is already a stupid way.
But it was this stupid method that confused these Confucian scholars.
How could they not think of the relationship?
"It's really calculated like this!"
Yan Lu was trembling with excitement, he had no limit to learning, and needed to seek knowledge all the time.
On the road of knowledge, there is further joy in the further.He has mastered this calculation method today, which can be regarded as opening the door to a new world.How could he be unhappy?
"His Royal Highness, what is another simple method?"
When Xunzi asked this sentence, he felt a little embarrassed.
He is the spiritual leader in the eyes of Confucian scholars, but now he has to ask His Royal Highness the simple method, which is too embarrassing.
Ying Ziye smiled casually, and then said a simpler method.
"Put the head on the top, put the feet on the bottom, half the foot, remove the foot with the head, and remove the head with the foot, and you will have it."
This method is actually the easiest way to calculate from a practical point of view.
The chicken has two feet less than the rabbit. Place 35 in the first row and 94 in the second row. Divide the number of feet by two, use the number of heads to halve the number of feet, and use the remaining number (we now know that this is the number of rabbits) ) minus the number of heads.In this way, the rest of the first line is the number of chickens, and the rest of the second line is the number of rabbits.
But if you do...
Some useless chickens, and some useless rabbits...
After the calculation, the army can add a meal...
Fu Nian sat at the desk like a dementia, he had already experienced a brain storm at this moment.The two methods the other party said were very simple, and he understood them immediately.
but……
How did Prince Daqin come up with it?
During this period of time, he led troops to fight all day long. Could it be that he was still thinking about math problems when he went out to kill the enemy?
It's outrageous!
"Master, you said there is no solution to this problem, but the crown prince solved it for you anyway."
Ying Ziye showed a satisfied smile. He used the knowledge of later generations to educate the ancients. That was simply a one-sided attack, a pure dimensionality reduction blow!
Although Fu Nian has been convinced in his heart, but his mouth is harder than a dead duck, he still said dissatisfied.
"His Royal Highness's numbers are indeed superb, but this is only one aspect of cleverness."
"Okay, if it's just about memorization, I'm sure I can't memorize those of you who read books every day. But the knowledge in the book is not made by you. If you can recite the principles in the book, it will appear that you are very good?"
Ying Ziye used the aggressive method again. He knew that according to the opponent's temperament, there was a high probability that he would want to compete with him.
"Then how does His Royal Highness compare?"
Sure enough, Fu Nian's damn competitive spirit was aroused again.It's fine if he can't compare with the other party in arithmetic, he doesn't believe that he can be inferior to a person who leads troops and fights all day long in terms of writing.If this is really the case, he might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill himself. What a waste of years of reading books!
"Then let's compare poems and songs. The prince does not say that poetry is a masterpiece. At least in the mainland of Kyushu, there should be no second person who is more talented in poetry than this prince."
Ying Ziye said with a cheeky face.
Since he wanted to subdue the opponent, he had to use a series of poems and songs to beat him speechless.
When Xunzi heard the words of Prince Daqin, his old face couldn't help but wrinkle together.
Listen to this, can people say it...
His Royal Highness' martial arts aptitude is indeed the best in the Kyushu continent.But he said that his poetic talent was the best in Kyushu, and Xunzi didn't really approve of it.
There are so many books in the world, and some people even study hard for hundreds of years.Even if His Highness the Crown Prince is talented, he still can't reach the number one position in Kyushu.
This is too arrogant!
The eldest son Fusu had no choice but to put his hands on his forehead, he also knew a little about the talents of his ninth younger brother.Ninth Brother is indeed quite talented in poetry, but this tone is too loud!
One mouthful is the number one in Kyushu, this...he is a little powerless to complain now.
"Ha ha!"
"You are so arrogant at such a young age, the arrogance of His Royal Highness is indeed the number one in Kyushu!"
Fu Nian couldn't help being sarcastic.
"presumptuous!"
Xunzi immediately scolded his eldest disciple, even if he knew that the other party was uttering wild words, but Ying Ziye's identity and strength lay there.What if he speaks a little more arrogantly?He is the youngest land immortal in the mainland of Kyushu!
It is not easy to achieve the ultimate in one aspect. Although what he said is very arrogant, but Confucian people just listen to it, why bother to expose it?
What qualifications do they have?
Ying Ziye was indeed bragging, but he was a copycat.He doesn't have this ability, but he has read three hundred Tang poems...
From childhood to adulthood, compulsory education not only taught him to be patriotic.There are so many poems and songs in Chinese class, even if he doesn't like to listen to them very much, he will pass the exam!
No matter what, you have to memorize it. This is the pain that everyone who has experienced it understands...
Ying Ziye also had to memorize it day and night for so many minutes. After finishing her morning reading, she had to memorize it on the way home.
Those things are like imprints engraved in his bones, and he will never forget them.
