Chapter 311: Fighting Wisdom in Front of the Palace (II)
After listening to this question, everyone frowned, it was obvious that the difficulty of this question was not lower than that of Lu Dongzan, and the Tianzhu envoy led by him actually slapped the case and asked angrily: "What peaches are you selling!" Three hundred dollars a pound! So expensive! ”
The ministers were stunned for a while when they heard this, this thing is not good at answering questions, and it is no wonder that they are like fools, who can neither answer questions nor answer a question.
Li Hao said loudly: "The queen mother's peach blooms once every three thousand years and bears fruit every three thousand years, you can eat it...... Cure constipation, 300 yuan a pound, how about it, it's not expensive! ”
Li Shimin couldn't help laughing when he heard this, Li Hao's bastard skills are still first-class.
Li Hao's question is actually much more difficult than Lu Dongzan's question, even if he is a person who has graduated from high school to answer the question, he may not be able to answer it correctly, because this is beyond the scope of arithmetic questions, but belongs to logic questions, and there are many confusing things in the questions, which are easy to mislead the answerers.
For example, there are multiple monetary units in the question, 300 money, one tael of silver, and consistent money. Obviously, you only need one way to express it, but Li Hao specially converted it into three words, in order to let others add currency conversion when they are thinking, don't underestimate currency conversion, when your mind is mixed, this small currency conversion can make your mind more chaotic.
However, this question is so simple for those logic monsters that the answer can be known at a glance, Li Hao came up with such a question, just to see how Lu Dongzan's logical thinking ability is.
Li Hao couldn't see Lu Dongzan at the moment, after all, it was through the screen, but he could see Li Tai, only to see that Li Tai was still rolling his eyes up, muttering and calculating in his mouth, seeing him like this, Li Hao knew that he would definitely not be able to calculate this time, and if he wanted to use arithmetic to solve this problem, he would go the wrong way at all, and only by seeing through the source could he get the answer.
The sand in the hourglass is passing little by little, and all the contestants are frowning and calculating, and those who know a little basic arithmetic can write and draw on paper with a pen.
Lu Dongzan also calculated carefully on the paper at first, calculated twice, and came up with two different answers, which surprised him, just at this moment Xu Lian walked around in front of the seven of them with the test questions, in case they couldn't remember the questions. Lu Dongzan glanced at the test questions twice, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and his face showed a sudden look.
The sand in the hourglass finally drained, and Xu Lian shouted: "All contestants, please stop writing." ”
Those contestants stopped writing, Xu Lian took away all their answer sheets one by one, this time everyone wrote the answers, but everyone's answers were all different, this is the magic of this question, different people can calculate different results.
I saw that the answer of the Tianzhu envoy was 1000 Wen, the answer of the Gesa Envoy was 1700 Wen, the answer of the Great Food Envoy was 1850 Wen, the answer of the Zhenla Envoy was 2150 Wen, the answer of the Hall Envoy was 850 Wen, and the answer of Lu Dongzan was 1150 Wen.
The answers of the envoys of the six countries were shown to the ministers, and the ministers of the palace were all talking, pointing at the answers, because they also participated in the calculation, and the answers they got were all different, and when they saw that the answers of the envoys were consistent with the results they had calculated, they thought that they were right, and even many ministers had already argued in whispers, and for a while, the hall was full of buzzing, as if there were thousands of bees.
"Be quiet!" Li Shimin raised his hand and shouted, and the ministers stopped talking and arguing one after another, and did not dare to speak again.
Li Shimin turned his head to look at Li Tai and asked, "Qingque, can you calculate the result of this question?" ”
Li Tai confidently arched his hand and said: "Back to my father, my son has already calculated the result." ”
"Oh?" Li Shimin said happily, "What is the result you calculated for the green sparrow?" ”
Li Tai glanced back at the six answers, and said with a high spirit: "Back to my father, this time, it was the messenger of Zhenla who answered correctly, and Wang Laohan lost a total of 2,150 Wen." ”
As soon as these words came out, someone among the ministers immediately shouted: "Look, look, I'll say it's 2150 Wen!" ”
After Li Hao and Lu Dongzan heard Li Tai's answer, they both smiled indifferently, and Lu Dongzan also shook his head slightly, his smile was full of deep meaning.
When Li Tai spoke, he happened to see the smiles of the two of them, and suddenly his heart suddenly burst into his heart, and he secretly wondered: "Did I miscalculate?" Impossible, I calculated it twice, how could it be wrong. ”
Li Shimin turned his head to look at Li Hao at this time and asked, "Poetry madness, is Qingque right?" ”
Li Hao got up and shook his head with a smile, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it is Lu Daxiang who has answered correctly." ”
"How is that possible!" Li Tai suddenly glared when he heard this, and shouted, "How could it be that he got it right!" ”
Li Hao smiled and said: "King Wei should not be excited, it is indeed Lu Daxiang who answered correctly." ”
Li Tai became more and more excited when he heard this: "This is impossible! I couldn't be wrong! ”
"Your Highness, you really miscalculated." Li Hao's face did not change, and he was still smiling.
Li Tai still wanted to call, but Li Shimin raised his hand and said: "Okay, Qingque don't have to argue, poetry madness, you can tell me, how should this question be calculated?" ”
"Yes." Li Hao got up and walked to the center of the hall, turned around to look at everyone, and then said slowly, "This question can be divided into two halves, the first half is to sell peaches, and the second half is to exchange money with neighbors, let's calculate the last half first, let's say that Lao Wang has one or two silver in his hand, which is used to exchange 1000 Wen with his neighbors, this is an equivalent exchange, there is no loss, and his silver is fake, and the result is 1000 Wen returned to the neighbor, now look at what else Lao Wang has in his hand, 1000 Wen is gone, one or two silver is gone, that is, he lost one or two silver, That's 1000 texts. ”
Everyone nodded when they heard this, Li Hao's solution was still very clear.
Then, Li Hao said: "Let's count the first half again, the first half is to sell peaches, the purchase price of peaches is 450 Wen a catty, but the selling price is 300 Wen, and the guest bought a catty, so Lao Wang is a loss of 150 Wen, adding up to a total of 1150 Wen." ”
"That's not right!" Li Tai suddenly shouted, "He also received a tael of fake silver, it should be 2150 Wen!" ”
Another minister asked in a loud voice: "And! Lao Wang also found 700 Wen for the guest, and 700 Wen should be added! ”
Li Hao smiled lightly: "These two fake silver, and the 700 articles for finding guests, are the biggest difficulties in this question, because these two sentences are very forgiving." When calculating the second half, I have already said that the silver in Lao Wang's hand is fake, so he lost one or two pieces of silver, where did this two pieces of silver come from, naturally it was given by others, so don't count it twice, the reason why King Wei miscalculated is that he is wrong here. ”
When everyone heard this, Li Hao said very reasonably, and thought about it according to what Li Hao said, and it was really much clearer, at this time, Li Hao continued: "As for the 700 articles for finding guests, they are even more surrounding, if I explain them directly, it may be difficult for you to understand, so these 700 articles must be listed as a separate event to explain." ”
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked suspiciously: "How can it be listed as a separate incident?" ”
Li Hao said: "Your Majesty, let's make a hypothesis, suppose that now Weichen gives His Majesty a tael of fake silver to buy His Majesty's ...... A horse. ”
Li Shimin is too deep in the play: "How can my horse be so cheap? ”
"Hypothetical, hypothetical, Your Majesty should not be more realistic." Li Hao smiled and said, "Suppose, Weichen buys a horse for His Majesty with one or two fake silver, it only costs 300 Wen, and His Majesty still has to find 700 Wen for the minister, isn't it?" ”
"That's right." Li Shimin nodded.
Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Then Your Majesty calculates, how much has Your Majesty lost?" ”
Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "In this way, I will lose 700 Wen, plus a horse." ”
Li Hao raised his eyebrows and asked, "How much is Your Majesty's horse?" ”
"Three hundred texts."
"And how much money did Your Majesty lose in total?"
"Always." Li Shimin blurted out, he was also surprised, and then suddenly realized, "I know, how much fake silver I have received, how much money have I lost?" ”
"Exactly." Li Hao nodded and said, "Actually, in the question I just asked, Lao Wang's money loss point is only two, one is to sell peaches at a loss, a loss of 150 Wen, and the other is to collect fake silver, a loss of one or two silver, a total of 1150 Wen, as for exchanging money with neighbors, it is specially used to confuse people, and it is not a loss point at all, so Lu Daxiang is right." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect such a forgiving question to be explained by Li Haoyi so simply.
"How is this possible!" The big food messenger on the side hadn't rounded the corner, got up and glared at Li Hao in the heart of the hall, and shouted: "That old king obviously gave his neighbor the same money in the end, why doesn't it count!" ”
"It's not that it doesn't count, it's already over." Li Hao slowly walked up to the Great Food Envoy and said with a light smile, "Let me ask you, if the envoy accepts a tael of fake silver, will you lose a tael?" ”
"Yes!" The Great Eclipse nodded.
Li Hao asked again: "Fake silver is useless, you can throw it away, you can also use it to deceive others, buy things, or change change, it's okay, if you don't cheat successfully, will you lose again?" ”
The Great Food Envoy frowned and thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "I won't lose any more, if I am found out, at most I will exchange it for real money to others, because it is a normal transaction, so it is not a loss." ”
"That's it." Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Lao Wang exchanged change with his neighbor, and was discovered, and in the end he could only exchange it for real money to the neighbor, after all, the neighbor gave 1,000 Wen at the beginning, and he now returns 1,000 Wen to the neighbor, normal trading, there is no loss, loss of money, only when collecting fake silver, when using fake silver, will not lose." ”
The Great Eclipse Messenger was dumbfounded when he heard this, and was speechless for a long time.
At this time, Lu Dongzan suddenly stood up slowly, and said with a smile on his face: "I have long heard that the young heroes of the Tang Dynasty, Li Hao, Li Shimai, are not only talented but also witty, and now when I see it, it really opened Ge Dongzan's eyes. ”
Li Hao also bowed his head towards him with a smile on his face, and said slowly: "Lu Daxiang praised, the kid already knew the answer to this question, and it is not surprising that he can calculate it, Daxiang can see through it at a glance, it is the real intelligence, the kid admires it very much, the first wise man in Tubo, and it really deserves his name." ”
The two of them praised each other, Li Tai on the side was already so angry when he heard the words, the last question had just been in the limelight, and now it was embarrassing, not only that, but he also said just now that Lu Dongzan miscalculated, but he didn't expect that it was himself who was wrong, slapping his face, Hong Guoguo's slap in the face, he had studied arithmetic for so many years, and it was so worthless in front of Li Hao.
