At this time, Zhuge Liang's reputation was not obvious, many people saw a young man who was not as weak as the crown replied so quickly, and there were many discussions, asking for Zhuge Liang's news, such a young man, once he grows up, his future achievements are unlimited, after learning that he is Mr. Shuijing's high apprentice, they looked at Zhuge Liang with a different gaze, Mr. Shuijing's reputation is not weak, and the famous strategist under Cao Cao is from Mr. Shuijing's disciples.

Many literati were thinking that they would make friends when they were done.

"Kong Ming is really smart." Lu Bu said with a smile, what kind of mind Zhuge Liang had when he came to Jinyang, he didn't need to know, according to Cai Yong's statement, he only needed to go through this incident and make his name known, and it was best to be able to frustrate the spirit of Mr. Shuijing's disciples in front of all the literati.

"Thank you Jin Hou for your compliment." Zhuge Liang replied.

"Please leave for the time being if you don't answer correctly." Gu Yong said in a deep voice.

The hall that was still bustling just now, there were only more than 30 people left at this time, to Lu Bu's surprise, there were two students from Jinyang Academy staying, compared with the literati under the rule of other princes, the students of Jinyang Academy were inferior in quality, according to Lu Bu's idea, it would be good to have one.

"Arithmetic is broad and profound, as Ben Hou said before, the multiplication formula contains a lot of knowledge, if it can be mastered thoroughly, then the study of arithmetic will definitely be greatly improved." Lu Bu said slowly.

"Hmph, what multiplication formula, it's just a word to fool the world." Wang Fu snorted coldly.

"Don't talk nonsense." Sima Hui's face changed slightly, and he scolded.

"Hehe, since Your Excellency thinks that this is a word to fool the world, Ben Hou will ask you, there is a soldier today, there are thirteen people horizontally and vertically, dare to ask how many soldiers there are?" Lu Bu retorted unceremoniously.

Wang Fu wanted to pick up the Jin paper on the table to calculate, but he couldn't save face, so he could only keep calculating in his heart, as long as he had enough time, he would definitely be able to get the answer.

"There are one hundred and sixty-nine soldiers in this unit." Lu Bu said the answer.

Although the number of people in the hall has decreased, the confrontation has become much more intense, among which the disciples under Sima Hui are the most challenged, but what makes them suspicious is that it is a very complex calculation problem in their eyes, Lu Bu is at their fingertips, which also makes them look at Lu Bu's gaze more and more solemn, when he was in Xiangyang last year, Lu Bu was embarrassed, at that time Lu Bu gave them the feeling that he was an out-and-out martial artist, why in the blink of an eye, the martial artist became a well-educated person, could it be that when he was in Xiangyang before, Lu Bu was deliberately hiding it.

Cai Yong is smiling and looking at all this, although he is old, but in terms of knowledge, he also has a breath, the students of Shuijing Villa, let Lu Bu go back shameless, what is damaged is his Cai Yong's face, and when the literati of the world talk about it in the future, they will definitely say that he Cai Yong is incompetent, and his disciple has been embarrassed by the young Junyan in Xiangyang.

Sima Hui's eyes also became heavy, if the students of Jinyang Academy can master this method, they will definitely be able to add more talents to the state, proficient in arithmetic, and it is very useful, such as when marching to fight, counting the number of soldiers has a vital role when the two sides are at war, and it is inevitable that there will be losses in the war, and once the number of soldiers in the army can be quickly checked, it is easier for the commander to understand the soldiers under his command.

If you want to become a qualified strategist, you must be proficient in this area, otherwise it will be difficult to count the men and horses of your department in a short time after a war, and once the war comes again, you may face great danger.

"Mr. Bo Jiao really lives up to his name, and he admires and admires him." Sima Hui arched his hand and said, how could he not understand Cai Yong's intentions, but if the disciples were angry, he would not mind being in Jinyang, and then let Lu Bu's face be damaged, reputation is very important for literati, such as Zhuge Liang, even if he has a big name in the villa, if it is not known to the princes, it is in vain, there is no shortage of people of insight under the princes, if you want to get ahead, you must have extraordinary talents, and Zhuge Liang is not in the age of the weak crown, if you want to have a good future in the future, it is imperative to be famous.

Cai Yong said with a smile: "Mr. Shuijing's disciples are not weak. ”

"Jinyang is prosperous, and the old man wants to stay in Jinyang for a while, I don't know if it is convenient in the school?" Sima Hui said.

Cai Yong laughed and said: "Naturally, don't say that you can stay for a while, that is, stay for ten years, and the state will not lack this bit of money and food." ”

Lu Bu was also smiling, weakening the momentum of Shuijing Villa and recovering the former breath, and the people of Shuijing Villa stayed in Bingzhou, which means that he will have the opportunity to contact Zhuge Liang, and he doesn't have to persuade himself, there are more words between literati and literati, Gu Yong also has a certain reputation in the world, just follow the temptation, with Zhuge Liang's age, if he can be fooled into staying in Bingzhou, it will be of great significance.

After leaving the hall, Wang Fu asked puzzledly, "Teacher, why did you stay in Jinyang?" ”

Sima Hui said with a smile: "You think that the Marquis of Jin is so simple, the so-called multiplication formula, but it is just to hide people's eyes, if you want to get the arithmetic of the Marquis of Jin, it depends on your skills." ”

"It's just a little arithmetic."

Sima Hui's face suddenly sank, "The study of arithmetic is not an overnight effort, if you wait to lead the troops to fight in the future, you will understand the importance of the study of arithmetic." "If it weren't for the fact that the Wang family is a big family in Jingzhou, Sima Hui would have driven him away long ago, and in front of academics, personal grievances can be put aside for the time being.

"Now that we are merging states, we should be cautious in our words and deeds." Sima Hui reminded before leaving.

Lu Bu said that the study of arithmetic, let Zhuge Liang see a new world, this method is very different from his previous contact, Lu Bu's explanation, although he is a little ignorant, but it is precisely because he does not understand it very well, it makes him more curious, and even in his heart, how to learn this method from the hands of the Marquis of Jin.

After everyone left, Lu Bu set his eyes on the two academy students.

"Disciple Shen Lu, disciple Chen Gu has seen Jin Hou." The two hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

"The two of you can stand out in this competition with the people of the world, Ben Hou is very pleased." Lu Bu said with a smile.

The two of them saluted again excitedly, the two of them belong to the cold door in the eyes of the scholars, that is, the kind that is difficult to be reused, the apprenticeship is in the Jinyang Academy, but also in order to have a good way out in the future, Lu Bu's affirmation has a major role for them in the future, Lu Bu is the master of the Jinyang Academy, they are all Jinhou disciples, this point cannot be changed.
