The first county magistrate in history

Xia Mochu thought for a moment and asked, "What's 3456789 plus 9876543? Let's begin!"

Except for Qin Zheng, everyone's expression changed. It really was a million additions.

All the civil and military officials gave up immediately.

The teachers quickly picked up the wolf-hair brushes on the table and did the calculations on the paper.

Xia Mochu, Xia Bitu, An Dehai, Li Qiuhan, and the court officials all stared at Qin Zheng.

Xia Mo Ning and Wei Xue Lin are calculating quickly!

Qin Zheng was seen fiddling with his hands on the abacus, muttering quickly: "Nine plus three plus one, eight plus four plus one plus one..."

Everyone wondered, what was he mumbling about?

After a while, Qin Zheng stopped: "13333332!"

Everyone was stunned.

So fast?

Is it accurate?

Even the Grand Tutor Wei Xuelin couldn't figure it out at this moment.

"Vice President Qin, are you sure?" Wei Xuelin asked in shock.

Qin Zheng nodded: "OK."

Wei Xuelin looked at Xia Mochu and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, is the answer correct?"

Xia Mochu's pretty face flushed: "I, I just asked the question casually, I haven't calculated it yet."

Wei Xuelin: “…”

You give questions without any answers. What kind of exam is this?

Wei Xuelin couldn't let the Empress be embarrassed, so he quickly said, "Everyone, please calculate first. I'll give Vice President Qin a question."

Regardless of whether Qin Zheng agreed or not, he asked, "From one to ten thousand, what is the total?"

After saying that, he began to calculate the empress's problem.

Everyone was stunned. Isn't this too difficult?

Xia Mochu glanced at the Taifu and thought, do you want to embarrass him?

Wei Xuelin was embarrassed and was about to say, "Why not change the dish?"

Qin Zheng had already answered: "50005000!"

Wei Xuelin was shocked: "Do you know the answer?"

Qin Zheng shook his head: "This is the method of mental arithmetic."

mental arithmetic?

No one has heard of it.

Xia Mo Ning asked curiously, "Master, how do you calculate it?"

Qin Zheng said, "This requires the use of Gauss's summation formula. I'll teach you later!"

Xia Mo Ning was dumbfounded. I was just asking. I don’t want to learn. It’s so tiring!

Gaussian sum formula?

No one has heard of it either.

Qin Zheng smiled and looked at everyone: "Everyone can come up with a question."

One, a teacher, asked, "One hundred and twenty-five, one hundred and twenty-five, what is it?"

Qin Zheng answered immediately: "15625!"

Someone asked the teacher, "Is the answer correct?"

The man was surprised and nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Some people were skeptical: "He may have studied it and knows the answer. You are only asking about addition."

此人出题：“123456+765432-654321-876543+987654-543219等于多少？”

Everyone was speechless. Aren’t you deliberately making things difficult for others?

How long does this take to calculate?

"Do you know the answer? Don't be fooled by him again?" someone asked the teacher.

The teacher was very honest: "Of course I know. I just prepared in advance to test the vice president. Otherwise, if he is not as good as us, why would he teach us?"

Everyone in the audience heard the conversation between the two and was speechless. How dare you tell the truth?

Qin Zheng was also speechless. With your elementary school IQ, I really don’t want to be associated with you.

But he still pretended to be mysterious and thought for two seconds: "It equals 0!"

Everyone in the audience looked at the teacher.

The teacher just stood there with his mouth open, stunned!

Obviously, the answer is correct.

At this moment, Grand Tutor Wei Xuelin said, "Your Majesty's question, he answered correctly."

There was an uproar!

It's possible that Qin Zheng knew the answers to those questions before, or that his answers were quick but incorrect. But now, it has been verified that Qin Zheng was not just guessing.

Xia Mochu's eyes flickered as she looked at Qin Zheng. This guy is really talented!

Xia Mo Ning looked at her master with admiration.

"Vice Dean, what is Gauss's summation formula?" a teacher asked.

Qin Zheng said: "I will teach you in future courses."

"What is that thing you are pulling out?" someone else asked.

Qin Zheng introduced: "This is called an abacus. Later, I will also teach you how to calculate with the abacus."

Because of the fear of the Empress's displeasure, he had not dared to give Qin Zheng some court officials any trouble. Seeing that everyone was asking questions, he took advantage of the situation and asked:

"Vice President Qin, does the academy only teach arithmetic? Is there anything else?"

There's nothing wrong with this, just asking.

But in this case, the meaning is different.

Qin Zheng looked over and saw an older military officer wearing the official robes of the Privy Council.

The Privy Council of the Daqian Dynasty had both civil and military positions. Military expenditures were reviewed and approved by the Privy Council.

Xia Mochu frowned slightly. Without even turning around, he knew from the voice that this person was An Chengwen, the Deputy Censor of the Privy Council. This person was the King of the Southern Territory's subordinate.

There are not many people who support the King of the North among the court officials now. Is it the turn of the King of the South to take the stage?

Xia Mo Chuxin said, the Four Realm Kings are really restless, just as one is pinned down, another one jumps up.

I have long wanted to clean up the Privy Council!

Sitting next to An Chengwen was an old man with triangular eyes. He was Guo Pingxi, the censor of the Privy Council, and he was a man of the King of the Western Territory.

At this moment, Guo Pingxi glanced at An Chengwen with contempt in his eyes.

Idiot, you can't see the difference between good and bad, you just know how to show off your eloquence.

Xia Bitu also glanced at An Chengwen. How could there be such a stupid person under the command of the King of the Southern Territory?

Qin Zheng kept smiling. "Of course it's not just math. The course covers a lot of topics, such as... Could you please invite this gentleman up?"

An Chengwen was stunned and thought to himself, just go ahead, I am a military general anyway, it doesn’t matter if I don’t know how to do it, it’s not shameful.

Stride up to the podium.

Qin Zheng took out a piece of chalk from the chalk box and turned to draw on the blackboard.

Xia Mochu was facing Qin Zheng's back and could not see anything.

The people on both sides of the trapezoidal classroom could not be seen clearly.

An Chengwen stood by and watched.

Qin Zheng drew two identical circles, and then drew a number of circles of varying sizes to surround the two circles...

After finishing the drawing, Qin Zheng stepped aside and said, "Please count how many circles there are in total."

Everyone was speechless. This was too simple.

An Chengwen was so angry that he laughed: "Vice President Qin, are you looking down on us military commanders?"

At his words, the military officers all glared at Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng said calmly: "Count them clearly before you speak!"

An Chengwen glanced at the empress.

At this moment, the empress looked at the picture and was also confused.

Seeing that the empress didn't say anything, An Chengwen had no choice but to count the circles.

He stepped forward and did a few circles, blocking everyone's view.

Qin Zheng stood by and watched.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes.

An Chengwen was sweating. The more he counted, the more numbers there were, and it seemed like there were no end to them.

My eyes are sore.

He just doesn't believe it. How can he not count such a thing?

Rub your eyes and start over.

Everyone was surprised when they saw An Chengwen's expression. Is it so difficult?

Xia Mochu was also puzzled. Qin Zheng only needed one minute to draw the picture. It shouldn't take so long, right?

Another five minutes passed, and An Chengwen was already sweating profusely and panting.

Six minutes, seven minutes...

Suddenly, An Chengwen leaned back and Qin Zheng quickly supported him.

At this moment, An Chengwen's face was pale and covered in sweat, and he was unconscious!

The classroom was silent and everyone was shocked!

"It's okay, I just overused my brain. It will be fine after a while." Qin Zheng said with a smile.

I thought to myself, this is a sign of good health, otherwise I would feel dizzy in minutes.

"Come here, send Lord An back home!" Xia Mochu ordered.

Two eunuchs came over and carried An Chengwen out.

Qin Zheng looked at everyone and said, "Everyone can try. Those with good eyesight can watch from a distance, and those with less good eyesight can watch from close up."

Qin Zheng said this as he walked down from the podium and made way.

As he walked past Xia Mochu, Qin Zheng whispered, "Don't look, you're getting dizzy!"

Although Xia Mochu was curious and didn't quite believe it, An Chengwen was indeed fainted.

She is the empress. If she faints here, she will lose all face.

Then I stopped looking.

"I'll go and take a look!" Wei Xuelin was so curious that he stood up.

Qin Zheng was shocked. This is the Grand Tutor. He is so old, and he must not let anything happen to him.

He quickly said, "Master Taifu, don't worry, I'll draw it for you later. I have some questions I want to discuss with you."

Although Wei Xuelin was anxious, he couldn't help but give Qin Zheng face, so he said unwillingly: "Come and sit down!"

Curious baby Xia Mo Ning couldn't contain her excitement any longer and was about to go up to check, but Qin Zheng quietly pulled her sleeve and said, "Listen to Master, don't go!"

Xia Mo Ning knew how deceitful her master was, so she had to suppress her curiosity.

At this moment, people came up to the stage one after another, formed a circle, and observed closely.

Wei Xuelin urged, "Teacher Qin, what's your question?"

What's wrong with Qin Zheng?

I could only chat casually: "How old are you, Grand Tutor?"

"Master Taifu, are you feeling well?"

"Master Taifu, what is your eyesight?"

Xia Mochu raised the corner of his mouth, realizing that Qin Zheng was trying to stop the Taifu from going up.

But Wei Xuelin was very angry. Are you free?

Just about to get angry.

Thump thump thump…
