To be honest, everyone in Fang Xuanling was dumbfounded. Wei Zheng, you were never so shameless before. Why are you so shameless all of a sudden? you this……
Not to mention Fang Xuanling, even Zhang Sun Wuji couldn't help but look at Wei Zheng with a speechless expression. It seems that our Zheng Guogong is not shameless, but he has his own bottom line before, but now, where is the bottom line?
Not when facing His Highness? Oh no, this is not facing His Highness, but just facing His Highness's future concubine.
"Thank you, Mr. Zheng Guo, for reminding me." Li Yan simply saluted Wei Zheng.
"Haha, Li Shangshu is too polite. It was Liang Guogong who called me here this time. In fact, he wanted to inspect you. After all, you just mentioned the importance of the central bank. To be honest, we old guys are getting old. We can handle it. Some daily things are okay, but dealing with some arithmetic problems is not so good. Obviously the central bank has a lot to do with arithmetic."
"But I belong to the province after all. Zhao Guogong and I are here just to bear witness. Why don't you ask Liang Guogong?" Wei Zheng's face did not change, his heart did not beat. He stroked his beard and said kindly.
Fang Xuanling: "???"
Wei Zheng, old man, what are you talking about? Say it again if you can! Do you believe that I will go back and tell my wife? !
Changsun Wuji, who was next to him, calmly took half a step to the side. Let me go. I didn't realize before that Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng were also evil-minded, but he didn't bother to be evil.
"Liang Guogong? If you have any doubts, please let me know." Li Yan turned to Fang Xuanling without changing her expression. She could tell that some of the ministers were not satisfied with her taking this position, but He said that because of His Highness, they might not directly cause trouble for him.
As Shangshu Zuopushe, Liang Guogong did have that reason to question his ability to work.
So Li Yan naturally turned directly to Fang Xuanling. Li Yan believed that if she gave him a step up at this time, Liang Guogong would definitely not bother with it, and the matter would just go away, but Li Yan could not.
It seems that she is a little unkind, but as a woman, if she wants to work smoothly in the three provinces and six yamen where countless men work in the future, and not be questioned by others, then she must first show her "獠" "Fangs" come, and this kind of "fangs" can only be achieved by talent.
Therefore, although this is not too moderate, it seems too sharp and out-of-the-ordinary. But for the sake of His Highness's reputation, she had to show off this wood.
Fang Xuanling is also a little numb. Well, Wei Xuancheng, dig a hole for me here, right? Didn’t I just dig holes for you a few times? As for that? Besides, do I call digging a hole? My name is to fully build a stage for your performance, Duke Zheng, fully demonstrate your ability to give advice, and give you a stage to display your talents!
What do people lack most in this life? Chance! Still an opportunity! Even if you have great abilities, what's the use if you don't have the opportunity to display your talents? My Fang Qiao is helping you, good guy, it’s okay if you appreciate the kindness and don’t repay it, but you’ve turned around to frame me!
But Fang Xuanling felt that he could not take action. He paused, looked at an official next to him, and then spoke without changing his expression: "Mr. Fang, as the chief of the Du Branch of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you are good at arithmetic." There is no doubt about his ability. Come and test Li Shangshu’s knowledge on arithmetic.”
Director Fang: "..."
No, it’s none of my business if you gods fight?
Raising his head and glancing at Fang Xuanling, Chief Fang immediately understood that it was time for him to stand up and provoke, so that his chief officer could judge the other party's level, whether he was being slapped in the face or not. If you are successful, then relative to this matter, you will be considered a success.
With one look, he understood this truth, and Director Fang immediately stood up: "Yes!"
"Li Shangshu, you will be offended a lot when you are lowered."
"Mr. Fang is polite, that's what you should be doing." Li Yan nodded calmly. In terms of mathematics, she could only learn it well, because she mostly taught herself, but she had already mastered a lot of practical applications of mathematics. In the books His Highness gave her, there were too many advanced mathematical knowledge that she couldn't understand at all, and she was still studying hard.
But no matter what, it was naturally impossible for her to show her cowardice in this place.
"Well, Li Shangshu, let's do this. I don't know how many books Li Shangshu has learned about arithmetic and classics since ancient times. Why don't Li Shangshu give you one here based on the topics you have learned, and then calculate it again. Let me take a look. Li Shangshu, what's your level?" Director Fang paused and thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.
Not only does it allow Mr. Liang Guogong to see clearly the opponent's level, but it is also not so embarrassing even if he is slapped in the face. Otherwise, if he really forces himself to give the question and the other party solves it easily, wouldn't he be the one who is embarrassed?
Although it is a good thing to embarrass Shangguan to a certain extent, because you took the blame for Shangguan, you will naturally be indispensable for promotion in the future, but this thing also depends on the occasion.
At present, the two big bosses of Menxia and Zhongshu Province are here. It seems that everyone is an official in the same dynasty, but the rights of the three provinces are different. The two Sikong were called here by their own Shangguan Liang Guogong. If they behave too stupidly, Yes, it seems that he has taken the blame for Shangguan, but he has also embarrassed his own Shangguan.
If this is the case, if your officialdom is not smart enough and you cannot handle this issue well, how will your superiors dare to promote you in the future? So depending on the situation, the boss thought of a qualified method, which not only achieved his goal, but also made himself behave reasonably, took the blame for his superior, and also protected his superior's face.
"That's okay." Li Yan thought for a moment, it would be better this way, it wouldn't offend people so much.
"The arithmetic knowledge I have learned so far is not too advanced. I have only learned this, so I will ask a question. It is about the application of arithmetic in the flow of personnel in the factory." Li Yan looked around and looked directly from the side. I broke off a branch from the tree, and then used the branch to write on the ground.
"Suppose a production line counts the number of skilled and unskilled workers in January every year, and then allocates one-sixth of the skilled workers to other production departments, and the shortfall is filled by newly recruited unskilled workers. New and old are not After training and practice, two-fifths of the skilled workers become skilled workers in the year-end assessment. Assume that the number of skilled workers and unskilled workers counted in January of the first year is equal to half, find the number of skilled workers and unskilled workers counted in January of each subsequent year. percentage."
As Li Yan spoke, she roughly wrote out the question directly on the ground.
But don't talk about Fang Xuanling. That Chief Fang, who is proficient in arithmetic, is all confused right now. What is this? This thing... how can this be calculated? Are the conditions given by this too few?
