    "Bah, it's really majestic He looks like a human and a dog, but he's dressed like an animal." On a tree a little further away, Yuan Ying, who was climbing on top to watch the excitement, cursed with a sullen face.  ¡°He really scolded Ye Chang, not falsely.  If it weren't for Ye Chang, their brothers would not be in this situation, being held hostage and forced to do extremely dangerous things.  Although he didn't quite understand how senior General Longwu Chen Xuanli was, he could imagine that if this person was easy to kill, Xing Chu and his group wouldn't need to be so cautious.  "You two, have you seen the man in red robe on the top of the city, the one on the left who is close to the saint?" Next to him, one of Xing Chu's men asked in a low voice.  The two of them nodded, indicating that they recognized the man clearly, and the executioner's subordinate said again: "He is General Longwu Chen Xuanli. You see, an old man and a half old man can be dealt with tightly. When the time comes, we only need to take care of the people around him."  "With the hands spread, this is the opportunity for you two to take action." "This guy is wearing armor, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with him," Yuan Chao said.  "Don't worry, ordinary swords can't penetrate armor. We have prepared better weapons, such as Tie Gu Duo, Mo Dao, and Ma Shu. You can use whatever you want."  Later, when the winner of this competition is determined, the saint will definitely return to the palace. At that time, Chen Xuanli will go down to the city first and arrange for the saint to return to the palace to protect him. Our people will deceive him to the side. You will take action when the time comes.  "Where is the way for the two of us to escape?" "I have already arranged it with you, and the discipline court cannot ask for it."  But he was thinking in his heart, where can the court get two dead people? From the very beginning, Xing Tie was not prepared to let the Yuan brothers leave alive. Even if they succeeded, they could not bear the crime directly, let alone leak everything.  It was news of their conspiracy, therefore, the Yuan brothers must die. Yuan Chao and Yuan Ying looked at each other, and then nodded.  At this moment, a gong was heard banging on the top of the Chunming Gate, and then a eunuch came out, stood in the wind, stretched his neck and shouted: "Students of the Imperial Academy of Mathematical Sciences and Lushun Academy of Mathematical Sciences  The competition begins now. "The so-called Lushun Academy is the name of the school run by Ye Chang in Lushun, Liaodong. The entire Lushun Academy is full-time. Ye Chang's plan is to provide six years of compulsory education, three years of merit-based education, and three years of research education.  Compulsory education has now begun to become popular in Liaodong. In the territory now controlled by Ye Chang, every city must have a branch of Lushun Academy, with different sizes. Children over the age of seven are gathered together in one place for boarding education.  .  This matter was implemented in Liaodong in the eighth year of Tianbao and has been implemented for more than three years now. What troubles Ye Chang most is the lack of teachers. Fortunately, the courses he teaches are very streamlined, and he has trained more than 200 students in his private school.  More than a dozen teenagers are now available, and each school can barely manage to arrange several people.  As the eunuch issued the order, everyone began to prepare. Ye Chang glanced at Qu Tanxun, but slowly left the test shed.  Qu Tanxun was surprised. Ye Chang left. Could it be that he did not participate?  He watched Ye Chang slowly leave and walk towards Chunming Gate. After entering the city gate, he climbed up the steps to the tower.  "Ye Chang, why are you here?" Li Longji called Ye Chang closer. His expression had returned to normal, but he was still a little unhappy.  This is for Ye Chang. This competition caused a lot of noise and aroused his interest. However, Ye Chang was not in the testing booth at this time and ran here. If something goes wrong in the competition  , wouldn¡¯t it ruin his interest and ruin the court¡¯s reputation?  "I don't want to participate in the competition, so I naturally come to the saint's side to serve as the saint's advisor." Ye Chang said with a smile, "You don't want to participate?" Li Longji was surprised: "Just rely on the young men taught by your academy  "They are enough. In terms of arithmetic alone, I may not be their opponent," Ye Chang said.  "Haha, you are too confident." Li Longji felt a little disapproving.  Maybe it was too smooth, so Ye Chang looked down on the heroes of the world. Although the students under him may be quite powerful, how could they surely defeat the imperial students and arithmetic doctors of the Imperial College?  At this time, in the test shed, the officials of Jingzhao Mansion began to read out the rules of the test.  Both sides asked ten questions each. Of course, the person who asked these ten questions must have the answers themselves, otherwise it would be meaningless to ask questions that no one can solve.  The trial lasts for one hour, and each time a question is solved, an answer will be handed in. Whoever solves more questions wins; if both sides solve the same question within the specified time, the one who solves it first wins.  The surroundings of the examination room were completely silent, which was a very novel thing for both parties participating in the examination and for the people watching the excitement.  "Hey, there are so many people here at the Imperial College of Computer Science, but there are only three people at Lushun Academy?" Someone saw the problem and asked in surprise.    "Lushun is thousands of miles away. How can we mobilize so many people in time? It is said that these three are the outstanding leaders of Lushun Academy. Ye Gong took them with him. He was originally preparing to give them advice, but happened to encounter what happened today.  , so we came out to compete." "That's too unfair, there are three against more than twenty peopleand the three of them are so young, but there are a bunch of uncles over there." Li Longji raised this question while watching the excitement.  Asked this question: "Ye Chang, you only use three people to deal with more than 20 teachers and students of the Imperial College, don't you underestimate the Imperial College?"  There must be an advantage." Ye Chang smiled: "Although one person is short of wit and everyone is wise, there is no such thing as this." Li Longji heard the unfinished meaning in Ye Chang's words.  Ye Chang clearly has great confidence in his followers and feels that they can easily crush the people in the School of Arithmetic.  Since they are so confident, there is still fun to be seen. What Li Longji wants is just to be lively to see. Then both parties took out the test preparation materials they had prepared and gave them to the clerk to check to confirm that there was no fraud involved.  .  On the other side of the Arithmetic School, there was a stack of manuscript paper, some pens, and some calculation chips. Qu Tanxun inspected the things on his side, and then went to look at the items on the other side of Lushun Academy.  Not to mention paper and pens, even the pencils used in Lushun Academy, Qu Tanxun didn¡¯t find it strange, because pencils are now one of Lushun¡¯s export products and can be bought at the Wenfang Sibao store in Chang¡¯an.  But when he saw the abacus, Qu Tanxun's brows jumped, he stood up and pointed at the abacus and said, "What is this?" The origin of the abacus is quite controversial, but Ye Chang had never seen it in the Tang Dynasty.  When he was practicing martial arts, he was criticized by Yuan Zai, so he once used an abacus to complete account calculations in a very short time.  When it came time to establish private schools and schools, in order to make up for the lack of calculation tools at this time, he vigorously promoted the abacus method.  He himself also knew how to add and subtract verbally, and he also had some impressions of multiplication. Only division was something he, Zhang Xiu and others spent a lot of effort to re-summarize.  Abacus is a required course in Lushun Academy. Starting almost from the third grade, every child must learn to use abacus to solve arithmetic problems.  The three people present, Cai Chenguo, Yue Xi and Yang Fan, were naturally the best among them. They had the abacus in hand and dialed it a few times at random. The crisp sound made people feel refreshed.  "This abacus is also an abacus. It is said in "Shu Shu Ji Yi" that abacus controls four o'clock and three latitude and longitude. Your Excellency is both an assistant teacher at the Imperial Academy and the teacher of the arithmetic school. How can you not know this thing?" Cai Chenguo raised his eyes and stared at it.  Qu Tanxun glanced at him and said, "Is this such a big fuss just because of my limited knowledge?" These words made Qu Tanxun's face turn blue and white, and he didn't say anything for a long while.  Strictly speaking, Qu Tanxun¡¯s main business is astronomy, and arithmetic is only attached to his main business. Moreover, what he is most proficient in is Tianzhu mathematics passed down from his ancestors, so he is not particularly familiar with ancient Chinese mathematics books.  What's more, there are still some differences between the abacus and the abacus contained in the Han Chinese's "Shu Shu Ji Yi". How could he figure it out?  In his opinion, the calculator at this time should be used for calculating chips. How could there be an abacus?  This is also related to the fact that his circle of information is relatively small. In fact, Ye Chang vigorously promoted abacus in Liaodong. Now some business owners are also trying to use abacus for calculation.  Qu Tanxun originally struggled with the issue of whether the abacus was a calculation tool. He had an intuition that this calculation tool would have a great impact on the outcome.  At this time, the clerk urged softly: "The saint is above, it is not appropriate to entangle." After hearing this, he gave up the idea of ??arguing and sat back angrily.  The conversation was passed upstairs. Li Longji laughed and looked at Ye Chang: "Your disciple has your character. What is his talent and ability? Can he serve as an official?"  Although he was not at a disadvantage, Ye Chang calmly took it as a compliment to himself and said without humility: "Cai Chentan is outstanding among my disciples. In terms of talent alone, he is by no means an ordinary person. I plan to let him practice with me for another two days.  Three years later, he will be recommended as a saint. " "What about the other two, how do they compare with him in terms of talent?" "The three of them have similar talents, but their personalities are slightly different. Cai Chen is a bit impatient, but he has quick reactions and a sharp tongue.  Xi is calm and humble, with the air of a general, Yang Fan is lively, playful and sociable. " Li Longji was speechless after hearing this. From Ye Chang's tone, it seemed that the Cai Chenguo who spoke was the weaker one among the three, and Yue was the weaker one.  Xi is the strongest, and Yang Fan also has his own strengths.  After taking out the computing tools, both parties handed over their questions to the clerk, who then distributed them.  After this distribution, we saw something different again. At the Imperial College of Computer Science, everyone gathered together to solve problems and discuss in low voices. Even the teaching assistants and Ph.D.s were also participating. More than 20 people gathered together to solve problems.  People got together and it was lively for a while.  On the contrary, at Lushun Academy, everyone gathered together in one place at first, and then three people each took three or four questions. It was not a division of labor., but each is Shanyu.  Seeing this situation, Li Longji couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart: Ye Chang and his disciples may be talented, but they are not united enough.  He thought about it and asked: "Ye Chang, why don't your three disciples work together to overcome the difficulties, but they each do their own thing. Is it possible that they are only good at working alone and not good at attacking with others?" "That's not the case, I expected.  The ten questions in the Mathematical School are not difficult for them, so they just divide the work according to their strengths," Ye Chang said with a smile.  As they were talking, both sides began to calculate and solve the problem. Qu Tanxun first took out the first question from Lushun Academy, but there was nothing mysterious about it. It was a water conservancy question. It roughly said that a certain embankment collapsed and river water poured in. Local officials and people  When the water is released at a low place, the water rushes in as fast as 100 meters and the water is released as fast as 200 meters high. When will the embankment be breached and the accumulated water in the enclosure will be below the safety line?  Qu Tanxun was stunned at first, and then slightly happy: Although this kind of question is complicated, it is not unsolvable.  A group of Tai students began to calculate in various ways. As long as they can list the ideas for this question, the rest is just calculation.  A strange smile appeared on Qu Tanxun's lips, and he glanced at the other party. The first question they listed was also a calculation question. However, this question seemed simple, but it took a lot of time and required counting.  Thousands of figures are all added up, and even if you use a calculation chip, the result cannot be calculated in a short time.  But then he smiled strangely, and saw the young man who had just ridiculed him pick up a brush and write down a series of numbers on the paper, and then handed the piece of paper to the clerk beside him: "The first question has been solved." "This  How is that possible?" Qu Tanxun exclaimed in surprise and couldn't help but stand up and look: "This must be wrong." The clerk originally wanted to blow the ink cleanly and then put the paper away, but after receiving the signal from the presiding official, he  Open the paper and show it to everyone.  When Qu Tanxun saw the number, his open mouth moved, with an expression of both surprise and annoyance on his face.  "It turned out to be right." In Qu Tanxun's opinion, although the first question they asked was not difficult, it was enough to consume the trial time of Lushun Academy.  This question is a continuous addition question, and it takes less than half an hour to calculate with a calculation chip, but the other party just took a pencil and scribbled on the manuscript paper for a while, without even using the time to drink a glass of water, and unexpectedly solved it¡ª¡ª  Did the other party know the answer beforehand?  As soon as this idea flashed out, Qu Tanxun suppressed it forcefully. These ten questions were all asked by him. How could the other party have the answers? "Solve the questions quickly, don't lose to these crooked people." Qu Tanxun gritted his teeth.  He said to his students.  When Li Longji saw this scene in the city, he was a little surprised. He asked someone to copy the question and bring it up. He also brought Cai Chenguo's answer. After looking at it for a while, he couldn't figure it out clearly.  , and asked Yang Zhao: "As a planner, can you solve this problem?" "Although I can solve this problem, it will take a longer time." After Yang Zhao read this problem, he pondered for a while and said with a wry smile.  .  Ye Chang smiled slightly and was seen by Li Longji. Li Longji glanced at him: "Ye Chang, why is your disciple solving the problem so quickly?" "I remember that in "Zhuangzi", there is a solution by Cook Ding.  In the Chapter of the Ox, the skill of the cook Ding to solve the problem of the cow lies in knowing the principles of the cow's body, and the same is true for the disciples who can solve this problem. The problems given by the Arithmetic Academy seem to be numerous, including adding a thousand numbers, but this is a thousand.  The distribution of numbers has its own rules. According to this rule, there is no need to add them one by one. "Ye Chang explained: "With all due respect, in Chen Academy, a twelve-year-old boy can solve this problem.  ¡±
