Out of the Zhifang, seeing that it was still early, Liu De got into the carriage and came to Shiqu Pavilion.

"Go in and report to Taishi Ling, just say that the prince Liu De will meet ......" Liu De instructed the two eunuchs who were cleaning at the entrance of Shiqu Pavilion.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in his thirties walked out of Shiqu Pavilion and came out to greet Liu De.

"Minister Sima talks about meeting His Highness!" Sima Tan's physique is very strong, even taller than some martial artists Liu De has seen, Liu De visually measured it, and felt that Sima Tan was at least 1.8 meters tall and weighed more than 75 kilograms.

After thinking about it, Liu De was relieved.

Sima Tan left home when he was twenty years old and traveled the world.

According to Sima Qian's later statement, 'twenty and south to the river, Huai, Shanghuiji, explore Yu acupoint, Kui nine doubts, floating in Yuan, Hunan; North Wen, Si, talk about the capital of Qi and Lu, view the legacy of Confucius, and shoot Zou and Yi in the township; Trapped Po, Xue, Pengcheng, over Liang, Chu to return. ’

And without a good physique, it is obviously impossible to run so many places!

"Hurry up, please ......" Liu De said with a smile on his face: "I heard that Taishi Ling's family studies are very originated, and he has been in history since Zhou, so I have some doubts and want to ask for advice!" ”

"Don't dare...... If Your Highness has any doubts, the ministers should do their best......" Sima Tan stood up and arched his hand: "Your Highness, please move to the Shiqu Pavilion and talk in detail......"

Liu De smiled, nodded, and said, "It's so annoying to the Qing family!" ”

He asked again: "The last time I came to Shiqu Pavilion, I saw a young child walking under the stone bridge, I don't know if it is ......?" ”

"That's the minister's dog moving ......" Sima Tan bowed his head and replied: "The dog has always been naughty, I don't know if it has disturbed His Royal Highness......"

Liu De shook his head and said, "No, don't worry, I just think that young boy is quite clever and happy......"

Unexpectedly, when he said this, Sima Tan's heart was more shocked than other statements.

Well, there have never been a few nobles in the Han court who have the good taste of Longyang, and the friends enter and leave the palace openly, and even talk about each other's hobbies, and they do not shy away from suspicion.

Moreover, most of them attack and receive at the same time......

And these aristocrats like prostitution the most......

Seeing Sima Tan's nervous appearance, Liu De also blushed with embarrassment, and hurriedly said, "I don't mean anything else, don't misunderstand......"

But as soon as he said this, Sima Tan became more guarded.

Liu De also sighed helplessly.

It's really that the old Liu family has a lot of strange things, and there is no way to make Sima Tan believe that he Liu De doesn't like that bite.

is like the story of Liu Che and Han Yan later, which was spread all over the world, and almost became an open secret......

Liu De had no choice but to return to the topic and said: "This time, I mainly want to ask Tai Shiling some questions about the arithmetic of the nine chapters......"

The Nine Chapters of Arithmetic was undoubtedly a book that all high-ranking officials at this time dabbled in and studied.

The late Han dynasty minister Zhang Cang even personally supplemented the nine chapters of arithmetic, bringing it closer to the latest mathematical achievements.

Therefore, the nine chapters of arithmetic are one of the most widely circulated books now.

Liu De is not the reckless guy who just crossed over in his previous life, and naturally he is not stupid enough to think that he can rely on a little knowledge learned in later generations to show off in front of the ancients.

In that case, he'll die a terrible death!

A very simple example is that the solution of equations and positive and negative numbers are clearly recorded in the nine chapters of arithmetic at this time.

In particular, in order to use the number of ** in actual governance, Zhang Cang added a chapter of 'equal loss' to the nine chapters of arithmetic, which talks about the use of decay to distribute the people's conscription and taxes, so that they can distribute the people's burdens as reasonably as possible.

There is even a set of rigorous proportional distribution models.

In his previous life, as the monarch of a country, Liu De of course inevitably came into contact with and learned nine chapters of arithmetic, although the achievements and experience were not very good, but, at least, he understood some basic concepts and facts, so that he would not be like a novice.

In today's world, when it comes to the understanding and study of the arithmetic of the nine chapters, Taishi Ling Sima Tan should be regarded as one of the best.

If you want to come up with two mathematical problems that fit the current situation, it's always right to talk to Sima!

And the most important thing is that as a historian, Sima Tan's mouth is very strict, and there is no danger of leaking the topic!

Seeing Liu De talking about business, Sima Tan also became stern and let go of the worry in his heart - in fact, he also figured it out, if Liu De really had any thoughts about his son, he couldn't stop it at all......

Therefore, he can only force himself to believe Liu De's statement.

Sima Tan took Liu De into the Shiqu Pavilion, he first invited Liu De to the main seat to sit down, and then, from the mountains of bamboo slips, he took out two rolls of bamboo slips, put them in front of Liu De, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, this is the new and old two volumes of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", ......."

"This volume is the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" found in the Qin Palace History Pavilion......" Sima Tan pushed a scroll of bamboo slips in front of Liu De.

"This is the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" that Prime Minister Zhang added and repaired......" He picked up the other volume and asked, "What does Your Highness want to know?" ”

Liu De smiled, pressed the two scrolls of bamboo slips, and said: "Actually, the main purpose of my coming here today is not to discuss the differences between these two volumes of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", but mainly to ask Tai Shiling to design two difficult problems for me, as a test for the examination, is it difficult...... Preferably a little more complicated than the exercises recorded in the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic......"

Directly from the nine chapters of arithmetic to choose the topic, it is undoubtedly brain-dead, because, people with a little culture and knowledge have basically read the nine chapters of arithmetic, even if they haven't read it, at least they have heard people talk about it, especially Liu De made it clear that the next round of arithmetic exams, these nine chapters of arithmetic, immediately became the focus of scholars' research, and many problems on it will definitely be studied over and over again.

This is also why Liu De asked Sima Tan for help - without Sima Tan's help, this topic is really difficult to come up with.

When Sima Tan heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

The matter of the examination, even if he lives in Shiqu Pavilion every day, he has heard of it.

In Sima Tan's position, of course, he supported it, and even felt that this was the virtue and politics of the Han family, which could benefit the world's scholars.

And in such a moral government, he can contribute a little strength, which makes him feel a sense of accomplishment.

So, he bowed his head and said, "How dare you disobey your orders? Your Highness, please wait a moment......"

Half an hour later, Sima Tan appeared in front of Liu De with a bamboo slip in his hand, and said, "The minister has already prepared the topic, please look at it ...... Your Highness."

Liu De took the bamboo slip and looked at it, and for a while, he was also stumped by the above topic.

Before the crossing, although he had attended a pheasant university, mathematics or something was actually taught by the physical education teacher...... And it's been back a long time ago......

Ahem, nowadays, the level of mathematics is probably the same as the first grade of junior high school, and he may not be able to make a question in front of him in the sixth grade of primary school......

"I can't even solve these two problems for a while, and it must be enough to stump most people!" Liu De thought to himself: "With my killer feature, I will definitely be able to eliminate more than ninety percent of the scholars!" ”

As for the remaining scholars in the second round of tongguò, Liu De felt that even if he didn't choose, these people had the name and honor of the second round of tongguò, and it was still very easy to find an official!

In particular, this kind of scholar who does not have bad math scores is exactly the extremely hot and sought-after talent of the Jiuqing Yamen!

Liu De even felt that maybe some yamen were staring at his examination now, and as soon as the results were announced, they would come up and grab people.

Liu Dexin worked hard to get fifteen places.

But the bigwigs of the Jiuqing Yamen can come up with dozens or hundreds of vacancies casually!

The most important point is that when these people pass the second round of examinations, the obstacle to recommendation disappears!

Can a person who has passed the examination set by a prince who eliminated more than ninety percent of the scholars be talented?

"Maybe that's why most people are so enthusiastic about the exam!" Liu De suddenly thought: "As long as they pass the second round, they can automatically get the qualification to be recommended......"

Thinking about it this way, Liu De also understood what the idea of those Chehou who advocated for him was not just to let Liu De raise his noble hand and give a green light to their heirs, nor did he want to finally get mixed with Liu De and pass the second round, so they had a way to pave the way for their heirs' careers.

If he hadn't come to Sima Tan's side, Liu De probably wouldn't have thought of this section.

In this regard, Liu De can only sigh with emotion: "There is really no ......one who can mix in the political arena and will suffer a loss."

Obviously, it is easy to see that the face of the marquis still has to be given.

So, otherwise, why would others support you?

"If I go back, I have to sort out the list of people who have recently spoken out for me...... "But this matter can only be done quietly, and they can't even let Ji Di know, they can only let Wang Dao be responsible, otherwise, Liu De's image will collapse......

……………………

⊙_⊙b Khan seems to have two 112s, mainly because the chapter just now is actually combined with the first 112...... I think of course it's 112~

But it doesn't seem to be harmless~~~~~
