The old Confucian didn't hesitate either. After receiving the total number of accounts, he slowly announced them.
"Salt is one million eight hundred and nine thousand six hundred and thirty-two cents, iron is five million six thousand eight hundred and seventy-six cents."
After saying this, the whole audience was in an uproar and looked at Li Zhao in fear.
This number is exactly the same as that number.
It's okay, even the accounting office in Xianyang cannot be so accurate when calculating accounts. Often, the accounting of money records involves several calculations, and the final number is only after it is correct, just like the operation of the official accounting office just now.
But the kid in front of him actually calculated it over and over again, and it was so accurate. No, it wasn't accurate, it was a perfect match, without any mistakes, as if he already knew the result.
But it turned out that he did not know the result in advance, but was the first to know the result.
This is not the main thing. The main thing is that his calculation speed is so fast. He can catch up with Hu Accountant and complete the calculation ahead of schedule even though he is half a stick behind Accountant Hu.
This is no longer something that an accountant can do, it is something done by a god. I am afraid that no one in the entire Qin Dynasty can compare with it.
After hearing the result, Yan'er was stunned and speechless for a long time. Her bright eyes stared at Li Zhao, as if she wanted to see through Li Zhao.
She had no idea that Deng Tuzi, whom she met halfway, had such calculation ability, which was beyond human reach. Moreover, his poems were so good that he could be compared with Xuan Mo.
So who is he?
With such talent, it would be impossible for him to be unknown, but after thinking about everything she could think of, she couldn't think of a big man who could be so capable.
She felt that she had caught an unknown big shot, but this was secondary. The main thing was that she won, two wins in two tests. If Master Cui failed to pass her test, he could reject it by proposing marriage, and she did not need to marry. To this ignorant person.
"Impossible, how could he, an unknown person, calculate so accurately? He must be cheating, cheating!" Master Cui couldn't accept this reality and screamed wildly.
He has coveted Yan'er for a long time, and has repeatedly asked his father to put pressure on the county magistrate, just to get Yan'er. He has made sufficient preparations for this time, so how can he lose?
Moreover, this kid's pretense was just a prank, so how could he figure it out? It was clearly a deception, something they had discussed in advance.
This guy is just a shill on the outside.
"Are you questioning me?" Mr. Ru was furious when he heard this. He stared at Master Cui fiercely and turned to put pressure on the county guard. "Governor, are you also questioning me? Do you question me for going to Linyuan?"
"This, this" Of course the county governor didn't want to let it go. If his son didn't make a move, he would have made a move, but the old man mentioned Shanglin Garden. He was embarrassed and couldn't even speak clearly.
Seeing that his father was cowed, Master Cui didn't care. He couldn't let the duck fly. The disobedient Ru said: "Exactly, I am questioning the injustice of this matter. This boy must have known the result in advance."
He pointed at Li Zhao without any scruples.
The old man was so angry that he was trembling with anger. He was about to explode, but was suppressed by Li Zhao's words, "Are you unable to afford to lose? Or are you making excuses for your lack of knowledge and skill?"
Li Zhao walked towards Master Cui step by step.
"If you admit that you are uneducated and incompetent, I can do the math again to convince you."
He is not afraid of Master Cui at all, which makes Yan'er look at him.
"You do the math again to see if you can still cheat." Master Cui said angrily.
"So you admit that you are ignorant and incompetent?" Li Zhao sneered.
Master Cui paused. Unknowingly, he was insulted, but he was furious and said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, I will find some accounts for you right now to see if you can still calculate accurately."
"If you really cheated, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Staring at Li Zhao fiercely, his eyes were murderous. If there weren't so many people watching and Mr. Ru was there, I'm afraid he would take action.
Li Zhao said: "What if I can calculate it accurately? What do you think?"
"Impossible, you must be cheating! You can't calculate so accurately again." Master Cui started to cheat. Li Zhaozhen didn't want to face this scoundrel for a long time, so he prepared to calculate again to stop Master Cui. Get out of here quickly.
"Let's do this! If I can calculate it accurately, you will give me a fast horse."
He had a plan, which was to convince Master Cui and take the opportunity to get a fast horse so that he could leave as soon as possible. This is a populated place, and it's easy to ask where it is.
Seeing that the conditions were so simple, Master Cui readily agreed. Of course, it was unknown what was hidden behind the agreement.
Then he took out a few piles from the original ledger, threw it in front of Li Zhao, and urged with a sneer: "Forget it! Let's see if you can still be so accurate, hum!"
Li Zhao took it and took out his abacus and was about to make calculations when Mr. Ru came over, looking very excited.
"Sir, you are a great talent! I am blind, I wonder how you can calculate money so accurately? I am very curious."
The old man was so curious that he completely forgot that he was still presiding over this test.
It is absolutely impossible to say that he is cheating, because every step is under his control. In other words, the calculations made by the master are true and there is absolutely no falsehood.
But, how can it be calculated so quickly? He knew that the reason must come from the square object, but the object looked crude and he could not understand it at all.
After learning from Li Zhao how to truly study things and gain knowledge, he found that his Tao became clearer and clearer. He also knew that traveling thousands of miles and exploring all kinds of things was the real Tao, and wasn't the square object in front of him the Tao?
Li Zhao was quite surprised to see that the old master Lin Dong was so sincere in his pursuit of learning. Moreover, he was from Shanglinyuan, so naturally he would not hesitate to give him advice.
With the account book in hand, he carefully taught: "The abacus depends on the abacus."
"If the number is five, it will advance one; if it is less than five, it will not advance; the small beads will advance one, and the big beads will retreat ten."
While Li Zhao was settling accounts, he did not forget to recite the abacus formula he had learned in his previous life and taught it to the old Confucian. Although the old Confucian was an old man, he studied extremely seriously and nodded from time to time.
After the first experience, I became more proficient this time. I was teaching and calculating at the same time, and the results were calculated very quickly, and the time was a little faster.
"There is such a wonderful algorithm in the world. This abacus is so wonderful, so wonderful, why didn't I think of it?" Seeing Li Zhao finish the calculation, the Confucian scholar seemed to have listened, and he was filled with emotion.
Yan'er was surprised to hear this. Although she was watching from the side, she didn't know anything about it. She couldn't figure it out and asked in confusion: "Mr. Ru, is this really how you calculate this account?"
"Of course, of course! Haha! It's really a plate from the gods. If I can see this thing in my lifetime and learn this method, I will have no regrets in my life."
Mr. Ru was so excited that he grabbed Li Zhao's hand and squeezed Li Zhao painfully as if he didn't know how strong he was.
"Sir, please tell me, how did you do it?"
