He frowned pretending to be a long time before he seemed to be quite emotional: "If you talk about the gentleman in your eyes, Zhong Ni is exactly it." Back then, Zhong Ni managed the grain and rice in the warehouse for Ji's family, and he must have been proficient in nine numbers. In that case, let's compare the number of nine first? ”

Gongsun Ze thought to himself, I heard those children singing the ninety-nine song along the way, you must know some nine-number methods.

If this is the case, you should directly compare the number to nine, so why should you talk about the Master?

Someone like you, a real villain!

I slandered in my heart, and secretly said that this person is not only a prostitute in the camp of Guan Zhong, but he also wants people to treat you as the unthinkable wandering girl of the Han in "Poems", which is really disgusting.

After thinking about it, when this person came up with the question, he could still think of Zhongni's matter, is it really admiration? If not, how can it be so relevant?

At the moment when the two thoughts were mixed, before Gongsun Ze had time to decide whether this person was a longing master or a shameless villain, the appropriate question had already been asked.

It is nothing more than the highest level of mathematics in the Warring States period, such as calculating the number of acres, counting rice grains, circle area, opening square, and approximating fractions, which were commonly used at this time.

After only asking a few words, Gongsun Ze's face was already sweating.

These questions are so strange that they don't sound difficult, but if you look closely, they are simply not true.

At this time, there is no calculation in his hand, but I am afraid that he must have the skill of heavenly arithmetic to calculate it.

Thinking about these questions again, I have never heard the same, obviously they should be made up by this person, is this person's knowledge of nine numbers really so high?

He listened to a few more words and couldn't help but say, "You asked, can you answer?" I can't count! But if you can't figure it out, how do I know if what you're saying is true or false? ”

Shi nodded and mocked, "That's right." These chapter arithmetic, with your intellect, I have to talk for three days, I don't have that much time. In this way, you come up with a question, and I will figure it out, so that you don't know if what I said is right or not. ”

Gongsun Zexin said, this is right, otherwise you can say a number at will, and say that you are right, how can I verify it?

He recalled in his heart that a few days ago he learned a technique to solve the surplus and deficiency of the moon, and that question left a deep impression on him, and now he remembers it very clearly.

"I ask you. There was a group of people who went to buy something, and each of them gave eight dollars, and these people had a total of three dollars left. Each person gives seven dollars, which is not enough, and there is still a gap of four dollars. Ask, how many people? How much money? ”

He knew that he might really have some ability above the nine, but since he had studied this problem for a month, he could always stump this person for a while.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this question came out of his mouth, Shi's voice that already made him feel a little angry and slightly mocking had already sounded.

"Four plus three, equals seven. Seven people. Seventy-eight fifty-six minus three, fifty-three dollars. ”

The question is very simple, the way it is raised is also very simple, there is no awkward rhetoric, even the people in the village community present can understand it, but they may not be able to solve it.

Before Confucius pioneered private learning, he paid attention to learning in the public government.

Even the lowliest officials need to learn from the government, and a monopoly on education is tantamount to a monopoly on domination.

Even if this question is not difficult, these people in the village community will not be able to answer it, even if it is extremely intelligent and has studied the six fingers of the nine numbers for a period of time, it is not the time to answer this kind of question.

The crowd didn't know the answer, but they knew that Shi Shi would give an answer the moment he heard the question. Even if you don't know the answer, you have your own judgment, and you feel that since you answered so quickly, you must be right.

The answer is definitely right.

Gongsun Ze was also surprised in his heart, this question was difficult for him for a whole month, so he remembered the answer very clearly, and the methods to solve the problem were also clear.

Yet he shook his head.

Seeing Gongsun Ze shaking his head, he said in his heart Did he miscalculate?

I counted it again with my fingers, and then I counted it again. Mathematics is not chicken soup, yes, no, no, it's useless, so my confidence soared, and I nodded firmly: "This is the answer." ”

Gongsun Ze shook his head and said, "The answer is right, but that's not the case. ”

When the crowd heard this, they let out mocking laughter and some deliberate boos.

They are just hooligans, how do they know that a gentleman like Gongsun Ze must pay attention to the ancient law and follow the teacher in everything, and be justified. Even if it is mathematics, if it is not solved according to the solution method in the six arts, even if it is right, it is wrong.

Listen to it and pull the six fingers on the side.

Stretching out the palm of his hand with an extra finger in front of his eyes, he bent down four fingers with his hand, then pointed to the fourth finger and said, "So far, the money is just right." After giving one more per person......"

Starting with the fifth finger, he bent inward, counted three times, and then pointed to the finger bent by the other hand and said, "After giving one more to each person, come here." Four plus three equals seven, which shows that there are seven people. If you use the trick of small ninety-nine, how can it be wrong if people are seven and money is fifty-three? ”

"This kid only has six fingers, and if he had seven fingers, he could count them."

The six fingers were once again brought to the front by Shi, but this time it was a matter of showing his face, his face was radiant, and the corners of his mouth stared at Gongsun Ze with a sneer.

Gongsun Ze listened to the appropriate explanation, stretched out his fingers and counted it, and finally understood. In this way, it is indeed much simpler than the surplus technique taught by Mr.

But...... If the name is not right, how can you get the right answer? It's impossible!

In the eyes of the fitter, it may just be a math problem. But in the eyes of Gongsun Ze, this is not only a question of insufficient profits.

The problem of surplus deficiency, the application of the technique of surplus deficiency, it is said that only this kind of public transmission technique can be solved, his husband has always taught him this.

In addition to this question, it also involves the conflict of ideas, which in his opinion is never a question of surplus and shortage.

For example, at such a time in the world, such a question.

Whether it is Confucianism or Yang Mo, what they ultimately pursue is the great rule of the world and the way of the world, which is the same goal.

However, Confucianism believed that if you want to rule the world and restore the way of the world, you must have Fagu, Jingtian, and Zhouli.

Yes, not can.

Therefore, everything must be done clearly, if the procedure is not correct, then the desired result will definitely not be achieved.

However, Yang Zhu believes that if the world wants to be governed, it only needs that private property is inviolable, if you don't invade my property, I won't encroach on your property, and the princes and nobles can't take other people's things at will.

There is no need to mention the Mo, but the Legalists believe that everything cannot be lawless. What Confucian Zhou rites and the holy king of the Mo family are useless. Everything only needs to be in line with the situation at the time of the technique and potential, rich country and strong army, when the time comes, the world of great controversy is already ancient, and then the law is not ancient, and then the decision will be made.

In this way, it is important to think about whether there is only one way to achieve the goal.

Gongsun Ze understood that after the death of his master, Confucianism was in danger rather than weak.

At this time, there was no theory of the five elements of yin and yang, and there was no fusion of the art of the alchemist, which was the most difficult time.

If it cannot be proved that there is only one way to achieve the great rule of the world, then the king of the world may not be able to choose the method of Fagu Ida Zhouli.

Only by proving that this is the only way to rule the world will the king abandon heresy and go on the right path.

If it cannot be proved that there is only one way to rule the world, it will also provide opportunities for those heretics and beasts.

Looking at the world, it is a courtesy; Looking at the problem of surplus and insufficiency, it is the technique of surplus and deficiency of the ancient law!

Just as being a brother and not being a friend and being disrespectful to a brother is likely to be unfilial; If you are unfilial, you are likely to commit it; If you commit a crime, you are likely to cause chaos...... This is a progressive relationship, and even the smallest thing can develop to the point of making trouble if it is not on the right path.

It's just a matter of insufficient surplus, which is different from the great governance of the world, and the world is not governed by the great rule at this time, so all the sons and hundreds of schools of thought say that their own method is suitable for the only way to govern the world, and it cannot be verified.

Except for the Legalists who are based on the reality of lawlessness, the rest are looking for legitimacy from the three generations of the previous kings, and none of them can fully deduce what the future should be like under the conditions of oxen and iron tools.

But the answer to this question is the only one and can be tested, but the appropriate method is indeed not the technique of surplus and shortage.

In front of everyone's eyes, Shi asked him aggressively what the answer was, he complained in his heart, but he was helpless.

Seeing that everyone around him was waiting for his answer, he also knew that if he explained that the answer was correct but the algorithm was wrong, he would be ridiculed again.

If you are ridiculed by people who have the Tao, it is enough, and the so-called not laughing is not enough to be the Tao. But being ridiculed by this group of scoundrels, he couldn't afford to lose this person.

muttered a few words in his mouth, and finally said with a purple face: "This game, you win!" The art of heresy can be used but not for a long time, and it cannot educate all peoples. However, I think that you Mo family has no monarch and no father, and you don't understand the avenue, you can say the right number, even if you are right. ”

Count this word, it is used very well, and it is won by the battle but can't bear to be cruel, so he admits defeat.

The onlookers didn't care about this, and burst out laughing.

There are even a few people, chanting suitable names, and fortunately this place is poor and there is no cowhide drum, otherwise children like Six Fingers would have to beat the drum to cheer.

Such cheers made Shi happy, but by no means surprised.

This one won in a reasonable way, if he couldn't even win the nine, then he wouldn't have the courage to compare with Gongsun Ze.

At this time, the applause around him may be a kind of shame and humiliation in Gongsun Ze's view, but in Shi's view, it is the people's heart.

This cheer is not just a hail of victory, but also a hail of hope that lies behind the victory.

Shi turned around and said to the children who had learned to count with him, "You guys, you have to work hard to learn these things." When you arrive at the Promised Land, you can become a millet official in charge of grain and rice, and a mu ruler who measures and divides land for private use. And if you want to reach the promised land, such a person is indispensable, do not always count on others, and must prepare for that day. Without such people, how can the land be able to make the most of it? ”

The children nodded their heads and said, "Got it." ”

The adults next to him also nodded frequently, casting hopeful glances at the children.

Gongsun Ze couldn't listen to it anymore, and he couldn't stand it, and he knew that if he didn't suppress his arrogance at this time, the people here would definitely go down the wrong path and not be educated.

Looking at the appearance of the villain who was ambitious but pretended to be a teacher, Gongsun Ze couldn't help but shout: "The second game! Than shot! ”
