Chapter 268: The Next City

The way of solving the questions in the second game is the same as that of the first game, and Li Yuntian and others still write out the numbers, list the multiplication and division relationship, and then hand it over to the two sides of the competition to calculate. The update is the fastest and most stable, dìng chasing novels, where is fast, and the eyes are fast

Compared with the first game, the difficulty of the second game is undoubtedly a notch, and the addition and subtraction can be done with an abacus, but multiplication and division must be calculated with a plan.

The so-called chip refers to the counting items like small wooden sticks, which are calculated through different placements, and there is a set of corresponding algorithms in it.

The lattice algorithm, which was later called "paving brocade", has just emerged in Europe and has not yet been introduced to the Ming Dynasty, so the operation of multiplication and division can only be calculated.

Chen Qing's side participated in the second game of the competition with a fat supervisor from the Simen Pavilion, and the arithmetic side was a supervisor with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

After the two sat down at the table, the thick-eyed prisoner took out a pocket from his body, poured out the small wooden stick used for calculation, and carefully placed it on the table.

The fat prisoner was fiddling with the wolf pen in his hand, without the slightest intention of making calculations, and he didn't know what he was thinking, which surprised everyone at the scene.

"Are you ready?" Seeing this, Qin Xin couldn't help but ask the fat prisoner.

"Lord Yuseye, the students are ready." Hearing this, the fat prisoner hurriedly got up and bowed to Qin Xin and said.

There was a buzz, and there was a slight discussion at the scene, it seemed that the fat prisoner was not going to use the calculation, but he didn't need to calculate, how would he calculate?

Could it be that he knew that he couldn't compare to the other party, so he chose to give up?

However, after experiencing the first game of the competition, people can't help but be full of expectations for the fat prisoner, maybe he can also surprise everyone.

Qin Xin couldn't help but glance at Chen Qing, who was sitting there in danger, and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Chen Qing and the others were selling in the gourd, which was mysterious and confusing.

Then, he waved his hand at the two inmates on the side, and the two inmates took the copied test questions to the fat inmates and the thick-eyed inmates.

The thick-eyed and big-eyed prisoner glanced at the question, then picked up the small wooden stick on the side and placed it in an orderly manner, and the fat prisoner also reacted, only to see him pick up the wolf pen stained with ink, leaned over and wrote on the white paper in front of him.

For the fat prisoner's move, people's eyes were full of surprise, and they didn't know what he was doing.

Qin Xin hesitated for a moment, walked over, stood behind the fat prisoner and looked at it, and then was stunned, only to see the fat prisoner writing some strange words on the paper.

He had seen these strange words before, from the Great Eclipse, and they were also used for counting, but few people knew about them. The update is the fastest and most stable

Under Qin Xin's surprised gaze, the fat prisoner kept writing and drawing on the paper, looking very busy.

Li Yuntian and Shen Yong and the others were talking softly there, and the scene in front of them also made Shen Yong and the others very curious, they were learning Confucian doctrines, so they didn't know much about arithmetic.

However, if an inmate of the Four Gates Pavilion defeated an inmate in arithmetic, it would be something to be proud of, and it would also make their faces shine.

"Li Yushi, who do you think can win this game?" After glancing at the fat prisoner and the thick-eyed and big-eyed prisoner, Shen Yong asked with interest.

Shen Yong is Yang Shiqi's fellow countryman, so he naturally has a close relationship with Li Yuntian, and he is also very young, only in his thirties, which is already young in Hanlin.

"Lord Shen, if you really want me to say, I think this person will win." Li Yuntian pondered for a moment, looked at the fat prisoner, and said with a meaningful smile, "Unless he is not good at learning and miscalculates the result." ”

"Oh?" Shen Yong felt a little surprised, he didn't expect Li Yuntian to be so optimistic about that fat prisoner.

"As the saying goes, if there is no diamond, there is no porcelain work, and they will not challenge their classmates in arithmetic for no reason, there must be something to rely on." Li Yuntian couldn't tell Shen Yong that the fat prisoner's four arithmetic was taught by him, and said perfunctorily with a smile.

"Makes sense." Shen Yong couldn't help but nod when he heard this, these prisoners are all the pride of the Ming Dynasty, how could they be full of food and have nothing to do here, and bring humiliation on themselves?

"It's been calculated, ninety-five thousand seven hundred and sixty-seven!" As soon as Shen Yong's words fell, the fat prisoner stood up and said loudly.

Shen Yong suddenly looked at the fat prisoner with a surprised expression, although he didn't know much about arithmetic, but he also knew that it would take a lot of time to figure out those topics, but after a while, the fat prisoner actually had a result, which was beyond his imagination.

Not only Shen Yong, but the people at the scene all looked at the fat inmates in amazement, especially those who were counting the superintendents, with shocked looks on their faces, but they knew how difficult it was to solve the answer.

"I don't know how to converge a little!" Li Yuntian really couldn't stand it anymore, looking at the fat prisoner with a smug look on his face, he secretly shook his head in his heart, he had to win anyway, so why not save some face for the other party and drag on the time a little longer?

The thick-eyed prisoner looked up at the fat prisoner in surprise, his face became ugly, and beads of sweat couldn't help but ooze from his forehead, and the fat prisoner's actions made him begin to panic.

"Let's go over together, it's a big deal!" The thin and tall prisoner looked at the scene in front of him with a stern expression, he knew that the prisoner with thick eyebrows and big eyes had been greatly affected, and if he continued like this, he might make a mistake, and said after a deep groan.

He chose to give up this game very wisely, if the result of the fat prisoner is right, then even if the thick eyebrows and big eyes prisoner can be calculated, then he will lose, with the current state of the thick eyebrows and big eyes prisoner, it is better to bet on the fat prisoner to miscalculate, and the two sides will be tied.

With this decision of the tall and thin inmate, the inmates rushed up to break down the problem, each of them counted a part, and then combined it to calculate.

"Ninety-five thousand seven hundred seventy-seven!" About two cups of tea had passed, and the tall and thin prisoner gave a figure with a blank face, exactly the same as the number of the fat prisoner.

This is definitely not good news, every arithmetic superintendent's face is very strict, even the doctors and teaching assistants of arithmetic are sinking like water, which means that they have lost two games in a row, and they have been forced to the edge of the cliff, as long as they lose one more game, they will lose, and it is a fiasco, which is definitely a great shame for arithmetic.

The people at the scene were buzzing and discussing, and no one understood how the fat prisoner did this, which can be described as magical.

"How did you figure it out?" Qin Xin, who was standing behind the fat prisoner, picked up the white paper of the fat prisoner's calculus and asked suspiciously, he couldn't understand the content of this paper at all.

"Lord Yu Siye, this is a written calculation, using four rules of operation." The fat prisoner, who was proud, hurriedly bowed to Qin Xin and replied loudly, his tone full of pride.

"Pen calculation? Four arithmetic? Qin Xin's brows frowned slightly, although he didn't know what the fat prisoner was talking about, but it was obvious that this was a new method of operation, much more clever than calculation, and he was surprised where the fat prisoner learned this algorithm.

The next moment, Qin Xin was keenly aware that if this new algorithm was promoted in Guozijian, it would undoubtedly be a huge innovation in arithmetic, at least in terms of arithmetic, it would stabilize Nanjing Guozijian.

Although Beijing's Guozijian was established in the Yuan Dynasty, it is not as large as Nanjing Guozijian in terms of scale and cultural heritage, not to mention that Nanzhili has a rich humanities and strong academic atmosphere, which is not comparable to Beijing's Guozijian, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty began to be located in Nanjing, so Beijing's Guozijian has always been pressed by Nanjing Guozijian.

Take the Jinshi with the title of the gold list every year, the number of Nanjing Guozijian is several times the number of Beijing Guozijian, and foreign students also enter Nanjing Guozijian to study after coming to the Ming Dynasty, which makes the status of Beijing Guozijian very embarrassing.

It stands to reason that Beijing Guozijian is the authentic Guozijian of the Ming Dynasty, but now Nanjing Guozijian is exercising the duties of the Ming Guozijian, and the two Guozijian have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, but every time Beijing Guozijian is at a disadvantage.

And the "pen calculation" mentioned by the fat prison student can definitely defeat Nanjing Guozijian in arithmetic, and then make Beijing Guozijian sulk up and down.

However, Qin Xin knew that now was not the time to think about this matter, because there was still a third game to be played.

Don't look at Chen Qing and others in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division have taken the lead, but when it comes to application, it is not necessarily the opponent of the superintendent of arithmetic, this is the strength of the superintendent of arithmetic, and it is their housekeeping ability, so the application is tested in three consecutive games, which makes it possible for the superintendent of arithmetic to turn defeat into victory.

Because he had already lost two games in a row, the sturdy student who appeared in the third game looked a little nervous, he knew that he couldn't lose, otherwise the student would be a defeat this time and lose face.

Chen Qing was on the field with a Chinese face of the Simen Pavilion supervisor, calmly walked to the seat in the field and sat down, his expression looked quite relaxed, since he learned the binary quadratic equation system, he was not afraid of those application problems of the national subsidy, it was simply handy.

"Looks like they're going to win again this time." Shen Yong glanced at the prisoner with a national character face, and said to Li Yuntian with a smile.

The momentum of the Guozi Face Supervisor makes people feel that they are confident, and then think of the strange victories in the first two games, then Shen Yong's conclusion is not difficult to come to.

"It's not a good thing, it's easy to make them conceited." Li Yuntian's brows furrowed, the victory came too easily, it would definitely make Chen Qing and the others a little unable to find the north.

"Young people, it's all like this." Shen Yong smiled disappreciatively, and his eyes fell on the prisoner with a national character face, wanting to see if he could continue the magic of the first two games.

Li Yuntian didn't think so, it seemed that he was going to properly beat Chen Qing and the others, letting them know that they had only learned some skins, and they were not qualified to show off at all.

Since the application problem belongs to the professional knowledge of arithmetic, the third game of the competition was asked by two doctors of Guozi Supervisor, and the topic was naturally not exposed to by those students of Arithmetic Supervisor.

Regarding this point, Li Yuntian believes that the character of the two doctors will never cheat in order to win, which is the most basic morality to become a teacher of Guozijian.

And those inmates who are arithmetic don't disdain cheating, they are all arrogant and arrogant sons of heaven, how can they do those filthy and obscene things? One
