"Compared with Zu's "Zhu Shu", which is full of errors and omissions, "Ji Gu Suan Jing" is extremely accurate and complete. However, there were more than 50 million people in the Sui Dynasty, but not a single friend." Wang Xiaotong saw that the whole hall was silent, and continued He said arrogantly: "I have been looking for a close friend in my life, but I can't find one. I am lonely and embarrassed, so I am asking for someone who can calculate with me to discuss the pros and cons with me. If he changes a word, he will be rewarded with thousands of gold."
Yang Ji shook his head secretly after hearing this. Although character and talent cannot be confused, in many cases, the two are closely related. Wang Xiaotong once said, "If you change a word, you will be rewarded with thousands of gold." Then you can know his attitude towards mathematics.
He thought that he was perfect and flawless, so he regarded himself as invincible. He stopped moving forward in the invincibility and was complacent. He simply did not have the spirit of learning and forging ahead that "the road is long and long, and I will search up and down." This is also true. Is this the mentality a scholar should have? Moreover, Wang Xiaotong’s thoughts were imprisoned in Invincible, so how could he go further?
Of course, it's not that he can't make some achievements, but this mentality of belittling his predecessors, contemptuous of the present, and despising the backward makes him live in his own world and unable to make achievements that shake the past and the present. .
In the silence of the crowd, Xu Wenyuan couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Mr. Wang's achievements in arithmetic are indeed unsung by no one. However, there is no end to learning. It requires a deep heart, humility and prudence in order to make progress. If you are impetuous, "If you are arrogant and can't listen to other people's words or read other people's books, what's the difference between doing things behind closed doors?"
Xu Wenyuan's words directly pointed out that Wang Xiaotong had an impetuous mind and was not the mentality of a scholar. It can be said to be rude. However, surprisingly, Wang Xiaotong was neither annoyed nor accepted. He just sat there arrogantly, thinking that Xu Wenyuan was just farting.
Obviously, it is similar to what Xu Wenyuan said. Wang Xiaotong listened so much that his ears were calloused, so now he is too lazy to respond.
Wang Xiaotong ignored Xu Wenyuan, bowed his hand to Yang Ji, and said arrogantly: "Your Majesty, the "Ji Gu Suan Jing" I compiled has twenty questions, each of which has a precise solution, but I have not made it public. I just hope that someone can crack it, but no one can solve it so far. I think about it every day and night, and I often feel sorry that arithmetic has come to an end. Once I die, there will definitely be no one to come after me."
Yang Ji laughed: "In other words, Mr. Wang has achieved the ultimate in arithmetic?"
"Of course!" Wang Xiaotong proudly handed over his hand: "Every word, every word, every count, are all carefully considered by me."
Yang Ji no longer had a good impression of Wang Xiaotong. When he saw Wang Xiaotong talking arrogantly and triumphantly, he said, "Can I have a look at the "Ji Gu Suan Jing" written by Mr. Wang?"
"Here!" Wang Xiaotong took a book from Wang Tong, dedicated it to Yang Ji, and said with confidence: "I heard that the king is also involved in arithmetic, and has achieved outstanding results. His book "Primary School Numbers" For example, the "Three Character Classic" is generally popular in every primary school in Liangzhou. If the king can solve one of the problems, I am willing to give a gift of 10,000 yuan."
Arithmetic is a relatively obscure subject with few talented people. People who have achieved certain achievements in this subject have more frequent contact with each other, and they exchange knowledge and gain each other during the exchange. However, for Wang Xiaotong, this kind of exchange is the best way to show off his arithmetic achievements and enhance his reputation and qualifications. Good way. No one else was as good at these figures as Wang Xiaotong, so he was extremely confident in his achievements in arithmetic and believed that "Ji Gu Suan Jing" could be unprecedented, if not unprecedented. No one will be able to surpass me in arithmetic achievements in the future.
"What if I can't solve it? Can I give you ten thousand gold?" Seeing that he was so confident and had made so many bets, Yang Ji couldn't guarantee that he could solve it.
"No!" Wang Xiaotong's face turned red, and he cupped his hands and said, "If your Majesty can't solve any of the questions, please delete the last paragraph of "The Master's Statement"."
For a great Confucian, good reputation is an indispensable foundation. No matter how good your good reputation is now, once your reputation is ruined, how bad your reputation will be in the future. No matter how good your knowledge is, it will not help.
Once the reputation of a great scholar like Wang Xiaotong, who came from a well-established family, was ruined, not only would his life be worse than death and his family would be humiliated, but even his students would be looked down upon by the world and stained with an indelible stain. Especially for those students who are in the officialdom. It means there is no hope of promotion anymore.
This is absolutely unbearable pain.
So for my own sake, I changed the order of debate and planned to use "Ji Gu Suan Jing" to bet with Yang Ji.
Yang Ji opened the "Ji Gu Suan Jing" and just scanned it once before he laughed secretly in his heart.
This book is indeed a mathematics book. There are twenty questions in it, but the solutions involved are only the quadratic method and the linear equation of three variables. As long as one of the three variables is represented by the other two variables, it can be replaced by two variables. A linear equation is easy to handle. However, now that there are no formulas to apply or examples to learn, it is indeed more popular.
He turned over the book and said, "If I get it out and you refuse to admit it, so what?"
"I have solutions and precise answers!" Wang Xiaotong took out another book from Wang Tong's hand and said, "This book not only has questions, but also solutions and precise answers."
Yang Ji looked at the open space in the middle and motioned to Zhu Can: "Get a table and put it in the middle of the aisle!"
"Here!" Zhu Can stepped forward, moved a table to the middle, then took the book from Wang Xiaotong and placed it on the table.
"What if I can solve all twenty questions?" Yang Ji asked again.
Wang Xiaotong disapproved and said scornfully: "I'll give you two hundred thousand dollars."
"I made a bet with you!" Yang Ji said: "The first one bets you on the last paragraph of "The Master's Statement", and the other nineteen bets ten thousand gold each!"
Wang Xiaotong immediately said: "Empty words are based on nothing but words!"
"good!"
In an instant, the lobby was full of gunpowder.
Yang Ji wrote two documents in public, signed and stamped them, and then asked Zhu Can to pass them to Wang Xiaotong. Wang Xiaotong read them over and saw that the contents were correct, so he signed his name behind Yang Ji's name, dipped his thumb in ink, and pressed Leave your own fingerprints.
When Zhu Can got a written receipt back, Yang Jiyang raised the book in his hand and said to everyone: "I know you brought five carts of money! The purpose is to bet with Liangzhou University. There are twenty questions in this book. Mr. Wang thinks I can’t answer them, but I think I can answer them all.”
"In addition to betting with Mr. Wang, I am also going to bet with you in my own name. If I answer all the questions correctly, five cartloads of money will be mine; if I answer four questions wrong, I will pay you a cartload of money." ; If you answer ten questions incorrectly, I will give you two and a half cars. As for how you bet with Liangzhou University next, I don’t care, what do you think?"
"We bet with you!" Wang Xiaotong is the 'leader of the tour group', and the money for the five cars appears to be their team's money, but it is actually the sponsorship he got from the Guanzhong family, so he has the power to make the final decision. .
And he didn't think Yang Ji could answer it. The reason why he was so confident was just to use mystery and psychological tactics, so he agreed without hesitation.
"Okay!" Yang Ji nodded and said to the great scholars in Guanzhong: "You must also know these twenty questions and the order of the questions. If you think I can't answer a certain question, just bet on that question. If I If you get the answer wrong, you’ll lose money. If you get the answer right, you’ll be embarrassed!”
Although most of the people present were great scholars from the East and the West, they would occasionally gamble and get some joy from it, so they were not averse to betting. After hearing what Yang Ji said, there was a lot of discussion, and some people were even more eager to try it.
"Your Majesty!" Liu Xuan asked cheerfully: "I think you answered all the questions correctly. Can I follow you?"
"I also think the king will win! I also want to bet on the king!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
"..."
Everyone in Liangzhou wants to bet on Yang Ji's victory. This is not to please Yang Ji, but they know that when Yang Ji fights, it may seem like a risky move, but in fact, he knows it well and fights with confidence.
Now that he said so, he was absolutely sure.
Yang Ji said with a smile: "If you think my answer is wrong, I will answer it! On the contrary, I will not answer it." He pointed at the other party and continued: "If you think I will win, you can go to the great scholars in the East. "
"Okay!" Liu Xuan and others laughed.
"Your Majesty, but I wonder if there is a time limit?" Li Jiancheng asked with his hands raised. He had seen those twenty questions and they were extremely difficult.
Of course he wanted to bet on Yang Ji to lose, but when solving the problem, if there was no time limit and Yang Ji delayed him for ten or several decades, what would be the point?
"Time limit, one hour!" Yang Ji said.
"One hour together?" Li Jiancheng asked again.
Yang Ji smiled and said: "All of them!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.
Wang Xiaotong and Dongfang were immediately angry. They couldn't solve a problem for several days before they saw the solution and the answer. However, Yang Ji said that they could solve the twenty questions that they had previously regarded as unsolvable in an hour, which clearly implied that they were all wastes.
It's so insulting.
"I bet!" Wang Tong said.
Li Jiancheng also clasped his fists and said, "Me too!"
"I bet too!"
"..."
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.
"Okay!" Yang Ji asked people to move ten tables, and there were two wooden plates on each table. Each plate was numbered, with number 1 representing the first question and number 2 representing the second question... In addition to twenty small plates, prepare another large plate. This plate has no number. If you put money here, it means that Yang Ji will not be able to answer a single question within an hour.
After the table and plates were set, the great scholars from the East and their disciples took off their sachets one after another and asked the students on standby to put them on each plate.
Some people with a strong gambling habit, seeing that the money they brought was insufficient, wrote down notes, detailing the amount and home address. If Yang Ji won, someone could collect the money at the above address.
In view of the difficulty of Wang Xiaotong's question, even Xu Wenyuan also bet on it. Not only did he put the bag containing gold and silver beads on the market, but he also bet on the jade pendant.
People from the east had all bet with Yang Ji, and naturally they no longer bet with others, which made the people of Liangzhou regretful.
When Yang Ji saw this, he was extremely happy. He then asked someone to place an hourglass representing an hour, and then formally answered the question.
The first question is: "If Taishi were ordered to build an observation platform, the upper area would be less and the lower area would be more. The difference between the upper area and the lower area is two feet, the upper and lower area will differ by four feet, the upper area will differ by three feet, and the upper area will be eleven feet higher. County A One thousand, four hundred and eighteen men were sent, and B County sent three thousand two hundred and twenty two men. Xia Cheng's people often accumulated seventy-five feet, and they were limited to five days to complete the task. Xiandao starts from the south of Tainan, and goes up to Guangguang and down to Guangdong. One foot and two feet, less than one hundred and four feet, and more than four feet. There are thirteen townships in County A and forty-three townships in County B. Each township is assigned a permanent area of 6,300 feet and is limited to one day of service. Complete. The two counties sent people to build the viewing platform together, and the people from the two counties and villages built the envying road together. They were all given to County A first, and then to County B. The platform was given to the high ground from the bottom, and the road was given to the vast area from the beginning. Question : What are the geometries of the width, height, and expanse of Taidao and the county? "
Yang Ji finished his assumptions with charcoal, then listed the equations, and calculated step by step. The final answer was that the platform was 18 feet high, 7 feet wide at the top, and 9 feet wide at the bottom; the upper breadth was 11 feet, and the lower breadth was 14 feet.
County A gives a height of 4 feet and 5 feet, an upper width of 8 feet and 5 feet, a lower width of 9 feet, an upper width of 13 feet, and a lower width of 14 feet; County B gives a height of 13 feet and 5 feet, an upper width of 7 feet, and a lower width of 8 feet and 5 feet. The upper expanse is 10 feet and the lower expanse is 13 feet.
The Xian Road is 18 feet high, 3 feet 6 feet wide at the top, 2 feet 4 feet wide at the bottom, and 14 feet wide;
The villagers in County A are given a height of 9 feet, a breadth of 3 feet above, a breadth of 2 feet and 4 feet, and a breadth of 7 feet; the villagers of County B are given a height of 9 feet, a breadth of 3 feet and 6 feet, a breadth of 3 feet, and a breadth of 7 feet.
In order to prevent mistakes, Yang Ji calculated it again. After feeling that it was accurate, he asked Zhu Can, who was on standby, to pass the answer sheet to Wang Xiaotong, and then did the next step.
These questions and answers have long been engraved in Wang Xiaotong's mind. Whether the answer is correct or not can be seen at a glance. He is not familiar with the "Sui Shu" and "Hanyu Pinyin" created by Yang Ji in Liangzhou. He didn't know what the weird formula was, but Yang Ji's final answer was expressed in words, so he skipped the steps and read directly to the end.
When he read ten lines at a glance, he stood up in shock. He looked at Yang Ji who was working hard in disbelief, and then looked at the answers carefully, and his face suddenly turned pale.
There were so many questions, but Yang Ji got one right. How did he do this? How can this be?
When Zhu Can handed the answer sheet to Wang Xiaotong, everyone was looking at him. Although he didn't say anything yet, the look on his face already let everyone know that Yang Ji had answered correctly.
People here in Liangzhou had never seen the test questions beforehand, so naturally they didn't know the difficulty of the test questions, so they all were overjoyed, feeling happy that Yang Ji easily conquered the first city.
But people from the east were incredulous and shocked. Some people who bet on the first question had sweat on their foreheads.
Wang Xiaotong broke out in a cold sweat. He finally realized that he was too trusting. I am already as good as the sages in arithmetic, and the questions I asked have stumped all arithmetic masters. Therefore, I think that although Yang Ji wrote a simple "Primary School Numbers", it is limited by his age and experience. He couldn't read a few arithmetic classics and couldn't solve his own problems. Who would have thought that Yang Ji could easily solve the more complicated first problem in less than a moment. This is really... too scary, right?
Not long after he sat down to read carefully, the answer to the second question came again.
As a result, there was still no error.
Followed closely by the third, fourth...
Wang Xiaotong's heart was also rising and falling in nervousness. Every time the answer sheet came out, he first nervously looked forward to Yang Ji's miscalculation, but the results disappointed him without exception.
By the fifth question, Wang Xiaotong was already ashen-faced and sweating profusely.
If Yang Ji failed all twenty questions, he would not only lose money, but also the gambling gurus who bet all their money on him because they believed in him would hate him to the core.
In addition to money and public outrage, he also lost the last paragraph of "Shi Shuo". If this paragraph is not deleted, the blow to his reputation and that of the Wang family will be fatal! The popularity that he and his family have gradually accumulated will surely collapse and become ridiculed by the world!
All of the above are consequences that Wang Xiaotong cannot bear, but, but everything today was caused by his provocation, so who is to blame?
The time was spent in anticipation and disappointment...Wang Xiaotong was waiting as if he was spending his time in torture.
Every breath and every breath was a torment for Wang Xiaotong at this time!
After Yang Ji found the pattern, he solved the problems faster and faster. In less than six quarters (1.5 hours), he solved all the twenty problems listed by Wang Xiaotong.
"This is impossible, absolutely impossible!" Seeing that the answer to the last question was still accurate, Wang Xiaotong's face twisted. He stared at Yang Ji with bloodshot eyes, like a gambler who had lost all his money. Pointing at Yang Ji tremblingly, he yelled crazily: "Absolutely impossible! You can't possibly solve my problem, you are cheating. Yes, you must be cheating."
"Shameless!" Liu Xuan was so angry that his face turned red. He slapped the case and pointed angrily at Wang Xiaotong: "As long as there is a problem in the world, there is a solution. The reason why you can't solve it is that you either don't have a solution or you have it yourself. His level is insufficient. My king is both civilized and martial, and he has studied heaven and man deeply. Everyone knows and knows that he has solved your problem now, which is a reflection of his true level. But you said it was cheating, which is simply shameless."
"That's right!" Liu Zhuo was also angered by Wang Xiaotong's actions. He laughed angrily: "In addition to using the Wang family of Taiyuan to bully others, what else can you do? A person like you can actually become a great Confucian , is really a shame for Confucianism.”
"You, you, you...you are the scum." Wang Xiaotong became more and more crazy.
"Shut up!" Yang Ji glanced coldly at the Eastern 'evil guests' who were about to make a move and started shouting. The 'evil guests' were stared at by the sharp eyes like wolves and tigers. The 'evil guests' were all frightened, sweating profusely, or afraid to sweat.
"If you can't afford to lose, then don't fucking play. Since you've played and lost, you have to admit it." Yang Ji stood up and said coldly: "Do you think we are easy to bully? Huh?"
All the evil guests felt a chill in their hearts when they heard the murderous "hmm" word, and they all closed their mouths.
The 'Liangzhou people' inside and Liangzhou Ding outside listened to Yang Ji's words and looked at the domineering Yang Ji with eager eyes and indescribable admiration in their hearts.
This is man!
This is King Wei of the Sui Dynasty and the patron saint of Liangzhou!
In the Sui Dynasty, a simple word made the noble families tremble; outside, with an order, the Turks' blood flowed thousands of miles and they retreated up and down.
If there were not such arrogant men taking charge of Liangzhou, the peace and prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the country would have nothing to do with Liangzhou or the ordinary people.
After the hall became quiet, Yang Ji asked Wang Xiaotong, who was sweating profusely and with an earthy complexion, "You said I cheated, where is the evidence?"
After Wang Xiaotong heard this, he faced the evil aura that came directly in front of him. His elegant face was green and red. He bit the tip of his tongue countless times and tried hard to bear Yang Ji's unspeakable murderous aura, and said loudly: " I have no evidence, but you are in your early twenties, do you know arithmetic?"
"Who says you don't know how to do arithmetic at a young age? Do you think about people and things according to your own imagination? With a character like yours, you are also called a great Confucian and a role model for others? Great Confucian, when did you become so cheap?" Yang Ji Ji stared at Wang Xiaotong and said coldly: "You live in your own fabricated invincibility, and you always talk about how it's hard to find a true friend or a thousand-mile horse. You are simply extremely ignorant."
"There are Bole horses in the world, and then there are thousand-mile horses. There are always thousand-mile horses, but there are not always Bole horses. Therefore, although there are famous horses, they are only humiliated in the hands of slaves and die in parallel in a stall, and are not called thousand-mile horses..." Yang Ji It comes as soon as you open your mouth, you don’t even have to type a draft.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
What's this?
Another epic poem?
Yang Ji stared at Wang Xiaotong and said word by word: "A horse that can run a thousand miles can eat up a millet or a stone in one meal. A horse that eats food does not know that it can run a thousand miles. It is a horse that, although it can run a thousand miles, it cannot eat enough." "My strength is insufficient, my talent and beauty are not visible, and I cannot hope to be as good as an ordinary horse. How can I expect it to be able to run a thousand miles?"
You stupid pseudo-Confucians cannot teach students and are reluctant to pass on the essence to students. How can students become smart?
However, you bastards blame the students for being stupid, and blame the students for being stupid. And the students are self-taught, but you say it is unreasonable. What the hell is this?
At this point in the recitation, Yang Ji's voice became louder and louder, and each sentence was asking about the souls of these evil guests from the East: "They cannot be trained according to the way, they cannot eat them to their full potential, and they cannot understand their meanings by singing their songs. He came to him and said, "There is no horse in the world."
At this moment, the whole hall was quiet!
"Woohoo!" Yang Ji mocked, "You really don't have a horse? You really don't know about horses."
A famous article called "The Theory of Horses" scolded a scholar who was actually a utilitarian who was jealous of the virtuous and rejected those who were dissident.
Wang Tong supported the shaky Wang Xiaotong and said angrily: "That's too much, King Wei!"
Yang Ji ignored him and continued: "It was only the eighth month, and all the virtuous people had arrived. There were the Wang family of Taiyuan, Xiaotong, and the Wang family of Taiyuan, Zhongyan. They were arrogant, arrogant, jealous of the virtuous, and didn't know how big the world was and how talented they were everywhere. They couldn't bear it. The uncle and nephew of the Wang family in Taiyuan went astray and wrote "The Theory of Horses" to encourage them..."
Wang Tong felt like the world was spinning, and his eyesight turned black.
Spicy next door!
I just said five words, and you put me on the pillar of shame. This is too much.
Such accusations against him, their uncles and nephews are tantamount to murder and heartbreaking! And compared with "Shi Shuo", which has only one Wang Xiaotong, this "Ma Shuo" has another Wang Tong who showed his sharp understanding of Xiaohe. Combining the two and advancing step by step, the Taiyuan Wang family may not be These two heroic articles have made them notorious and will be infamy for thousands of years.
Once these two articles are circulated, it is conceivable that the "notoriety" of the Taiyuan Wang family will spread all over the world because of their uncle and nephew.
Killing the heart with literature, killing the clan with literature, this is really cruel!
When Wang Xiaotong heard this "summary" that had the same purpose but the same purpose, he was already extremely angry. He coughed violently, spit out a large mouthful of blood, and fell straight down. Wang Tong was so frightened that he quickly helped him sit down: "Uncle, calm down! Uncle, calm down!"
Yang Ji ignored the affection between their uncle and nephew and said to Liu Xuan, who had finished recording, "Liu offers wine."
"Here!" Liu Xuan stood up.
Yang Ji pointed to the bet in the middle and said: "These are all mine, but I never thought about keeping them as my own from the beginning. I decided to leave them at Liangzhou University as a scholarship. As long as I have good grades and Poor students can apply, and the university can make gifts at its discretion. Next, you can come up with a reward plan for me."
"As for the property on the receipt, you should calculate the data, and then give me the receipt, and I will ask someone to take it back one by one."
"Here!" Liu Xuan responded with his hands raised.
The three schools in Liangzhou all have official subsidized scholarships, which mainly target students who cannot afford to pay tuition fees. They can learn from them.
Xu Wenyuan, Ma Jiayun and other Eastern scholars were in awe when they heard Yang Ji's words and saw that he donated all this huge windfall to Liangzhou University without hesitation.
And some people who were unwilling to do so were a little more balanced. But when he thought that his money was donated by Yang Ji in his name, it was unbalanced.
But they couldn't blame Yang Ji, and they didn't dare to blame him.
Ever since, everyone stared at the half-dead Wang Xiaotong with murderous eyes.
Hate him so much.
When Yang Ji saw this, he was extremely satisfied. Not only did he successfully divide this group of people, but he also suppressed their arrogance. Next, they will all sit down and talk honestly.
As for myself, I have become successful and famous, and it’s time to retire.
