Chapter 25 Betting on the Fishing Stick
When Li Min came to Zhao Fu's house, the steward immediately invited him to the living room. Within half a quarter of an hour, there was a rush of footsteps outside the living room, and judging from the sound, more than one person came. Li Min thought it was Yifan and his father.
We came together, so I don’t care.
When Zhao Fu came in and saw Li Min, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "I see you, Your Highness!".
"No need to be polite, Zhao Fu!" Li Ming smiled and helped him up, but looked behind him, but what he didn't expect was that Zhao Fu was not followed by Yifan, but by two people wearing
Although these two Taoist priests are different in age, they are both the same
He has an almost immortal appearance, especially the younger one, who is over 1.8 meters tall, and has a handsome yet mature face. It can be said that both in appearance and figure, he is a top male model.
As expected, Li Min looked a little jealous.
"Your Highness, let me introduce to you. The elder is the famous Yuan Tiangang, Old Immortal Yuan! And this is the disciple of Old Immortal Yuan, Master Li Chunfeng, the Grand Historian!" Zhao Fu saw Li Min and noticed two things.
Master and disciple Yuan Tiangang had wanted to meet Li Min for a long time, but because they had not found the opportunity some time ago, they postponed it until today.
Li Min was surprised when he heard that the other parties turned out to be Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, but he had already learned from Zhao Fu that Yifan's master was Yuan Tiangang, so he had some guesses in his mind just now, so he didn't show anything special.
accident.
"Pindao pays homage to His Highness!" Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng saluted together. Although Li Chunfeng was an official, he also called himself Pindao. It was obvious that he was visiting Li Min as a foreigner.
"Haha, you two immortals don't need to be polite!" After a moment of surprise, Li Min suddenly showed a smiling smile and helped the two of them up with a friendly expression. He had something he wanted to give Yifan to do, but he was afraid
After delaying the development of the steam engine, I didn't expect that God would send these two magicians to me. It seems that my luck is really good!
"I've heard for a long time that His Highness is handsome, handsome and graceful. When I saw him today, he was indeed one of the best among men!" As soon as Yuan Tiangang got up, he immediately slapped him with a flattering smile.
According to unwritten etiquette, Li Min should be humble at this time, but he laughed. He accepted the compliment without blushing, and then said: "I have also heard for a long time that Yuan Dao has unparalleled looks. It's a pity.
Never had a chance to meet
See you, I didn’t expect to meet you at Zhao Biejia’s house today. I wonder if I can also meet with Prime Minister Li Min to see what my fortune is?” Li Min was still very curious about Yuan Tiangang’s physiognomy and wanted to see if it was true.
It's really as magical as the legend says.
In fact, when he first met Li Min, Yuan Tiangang had already secretly observed Li Min's face, but what he didn't expect was that on the surface, Li Min was just a rich but mediocre person. This kind of face was different from a person's.
For the prince, it was not strange, but if he carefully observed the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit in Li Min, they were full of indescribable potential. He even saw something in Li Min that should not have appeared.
something.
After a while, Yuan Tiangang suddenly showed a wry smile and said: "Your Majesty, your face is that of a heavenly being. I am afraid that as the world says, you are a god from heaven who has descended to earth. I am just a mortal, so naturally I can't see you."
Qing Your Highness’s destiny.”
As soon as Yuan Tiangang's words came out, not only Li Min was surprised, but also Zhao Fu and Li Chunfeng showed incredible expressions. They both believed in Yuan Tiangang's physiognomy, but they didn't expect that there were things in the world that he couldn't see.
In fact, Yuan Tiangang also saw something, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only use these words as an excuse.
"Hahaha~, the Taoist master really knows how to joke. I'm just a poor and lustful mortal. How can I be a god?" Li Min heard the other party's words and said with a smile. He liked this compliment, but he felt sorry for Yuan in his heart.
Tiangang's physiognomy is somewhat disdainful.
"Hey, by the way, why isn't Yifan here?" Li Min no longer paid attention to Master Yuan Tiangang, but turned to Zhao Fu and asked. Zhao Fu doted on his daughter, and usually had almost no control over Yifan, and Yifan
He is usually like a boy, quite like the tomboys of later generations, and because of the steam engine, Yifan is also very welcoming to Li Min. Almost every time Li Min comes, he will see her personally greeting him.
"Your Highness, because the development of steam engines has been frustrated, Yifan has nothing to do now. In addition, the old immortal Yuan has also come, so he has restarted his studies and is now studying in the back hall." Zhao Fu replied. Yuan Tiangang next to him also
He stroked his beard and smiled. He was very satisfied when talking about this young disciple. Not to mention his intelligence, the key was his hard work.
"Oh, Master Yuan is a scholar of heaven and earth, and the disciples he has taught are all extraordinary. I am also very curious and want to see what kind of knowledge Yifan has learned. I wonder if you can let me go and see it?" Li
He asked curiously. In ancient times, when a master imparted knowledge to his disciples, outsiders were not allowed to watch, unless they had permission from the other party.
"Haha, if Your Highness is interested, I would be honored!" This was the first time Yuan Tiangang met someone who made him unable to see his fortune telling, so he was also very curious about Li Min, and wished he could know more about Li Min.
So I happily agreed.
Even Yuan Tiangang agreed, and Zhao Fu had no reason to object. After all, Li Min and Yifan were familiar with each other. As for the men and women, in the eyes of a doting father, he had long been thrown aside, otherwise he would not have allowed it.
My daughter goes out casually and does whatever she wants.
Li Min followed the three people to the back hall, and sure enough he saw Yifan climbing on the desk, concentrating on writing something on the paper. The four people did not make a sound to disturb, while Li Min walked gently behind Yifan,
He lowered his head and looked at it, and found that there was a large piece of paper to Yifan's left. He recognized the words on the paper, and it seemed to be ancient arithmetic problems. What was Yifan calculating on the draft paper next to him?
Li Min looked at the questions on the big paper. After all, he was also a product of the comprehensive development education of later generations. Mathematics is one of the compulsory subjects, so he had some basic knowledge. But when he saw the questions on the paper clearly, he suddenly understood
I was dumbfounded. It was all text, without the familiar mathematical symbols of later generations, and there were so many professional terms in these questions that it looked like a spy's code book.
Li Min looked at it for a long time, and finally managed to roughly understand one question without guessing. According to later generations, this question was a simple linear equation of two variables. He only needed to write two equations to get the result, and even Li Min could do mental arithmetic.
The results can all be obtained. Look again at the pile of astronomical things written by Yifan. They almost fill a piece of paper, but the results have not yet come out.
Seeing this, Li Min couldn't help but shook his head. Although he knew that ancient Chinese arithmetic was very advanced, without the basis of mathematical symbols, it was so troublesome to solve a simple problem, let alone those more advanced ones.
topic.
Seeing Li Min shaking his head, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were a little strange. They stepped forward to look at the questions Yifan had done and found that there were no mistakes. At this time, Yifan had just calculated the answer, and there was no problem with the result. Now they
Confused, Yuan Tiangang took the lead and asked: "Why is Your Highness shaking his head?"
Before Li Min could answer, Yifan heard someone talking above his head. He looked up in confusion, only to find that there were several people standing behind him. He jumped up with a frightened "Ah", and when he saw clearly it was Li Min, Yuan Tiangang and others.
When Renshi calmed down, he said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "It's true that you ran behind me without warning me, you scared me to death!"
"Haha, we saw that you were doing the questions seriously, and we were afraid that we would disturb you if we spoke out!" Li Min said with a smile, Yifan was not only extremely smart, but also very courageous, otherwise he wouldn't have sneaked away to the shipyard alone.
Looking at the ship model, when I usually see myself as the King of Qi
, just like treating an ordinary friend, fighting and making trouble when necessary, without any regard for Li Min's identity. This made Li Min find a feeling among friends in later generations, but today he suddenly discovered that it turned out that a person
There are times when Fan is timid.
"Humph, you know what I'm doing, I just solved a nine-chapter arithmetic problem!" Yifan said with a proud face, and handed the problem to Yuan Tiangang, showing a rare smile.
The daughter said in a coquettish manner: "Master, I have solved all the questions you and my senior brother asked. Did I pass my arithmetic?"
Li Min looked at her proud look and shook his head again with a smile. Yuan Tiangang was entangled by Yifan and couldn't get away and asked Li Min, but Li Chunfeng was very free and took a step forward and asked: "Why did Your Highness shake his head twice? Is it possible?"
What’s wrong with this algorithm?”
What Li Chunfeng is most proud of is his arithmetic. Most of these questions were given by him, and in his opinion, Yifan's performance was also very standard. Even if it were him, he would not be much better than Yifan.
"Haha, there is no mistake. It's just that I thought it was too troublesome for Yifan to do it, so I shook my head twice." Li Min smiled and said, if future generations follow Yifan's approach when taking math exams, and the number of questions is the same,
It is estimated that the examination time should be extended to a whole day.
"Oh, His Highness said so, is there any way to simplify it?" Li Chunfeng frowned after hearing this. Although he knew that Li Min was very talented, he always considered himself to be the first person in the Tang Dynasty in terms of arithmetic.
Even his master Yuan Tiangang was not as accomplished as him in arithmetic, so he still didn't believe Li Min's words.
Seeing Li Chunfeng's disbelieving expression, Li Min blinked and suddenly thought of a good idea, so he smiled and said, "Dao Zhang Li, how about we make a bet?"
"Oh, what's the bet?" Li Chunfeng asked calmly.
"It's very simple. If I can simplify arithmetic calculations, then you have to help me solve one problem, no! It's two problems, and you can rest assured that these two problems are related to arithmetic and astronomy, which you are best at!"
When Li Min said this, he smiled like an old fox who had stolen a chicken.
