Chapter 20 Named Numbers!
“…”
Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I saw Li Er and Pei Ji, who were all confused and stared at the piece of paper on the table without moving.
"Pei Gong? Prince? Pei Ming Mansion?"
After a moment, Li Xuan couldn't help but exclaimed again.
"ah?"
Now, Li Er and Pei Ji came to their senses.
At the same time, the look at Li Xuan was even more inexplicably and strange!
"Prince, Mr. Pei, what's wrong?"
"My little master, can you calculate the final result by just writing this a few times?"
Pei Ji looked disbelief.
He took the calculation sheet on the table and tried his best to calculate the calculation problem that he had not calculated for nearly an hour. Li Xuan just wrote less than a hundred words and easily calculated it?
"Mr. Pei can do it yourself!"
Li Xuan chuckled, "If you calculate such a simple question, in another year, the children in Lijiazhuang Village can also calculate it!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Ji was hit hard again.
Although I had already vaguely recognized Li Xuan's algorithm in my heart, I still had a hint of luxury.
Li Xuan has calculated the final result, and it will be very simple to verify it with the calculation foundation again.
Therefore, within a short while, Pei Ji put down his calculations with a lonely face.
He bowed to Li Shimin who was watching the show and said, "Prince, what the young master has calculated is not bad at all!"
Then, he looked at Li Xuan with ecstasy face.
"I wonder if these words are what kind of words, which have such magical functions, and can we calculate such a difficult problem so quickly?"
At the same time, Li Shimin and Lawyer Pei also stared at Li Xuan closely.
"Pei Gong, this kind of text is a number, this is one, this is two, this is three..."
"This kind of text is the most suitable number for arithmetic. Combining the two can represent a larger number. If one and two are combined, it is twelve, four and five are combined, it is forty-five, one, three and six are combined, it is one hundred and thirty-six..."
"This combination, coupled with the nine nine songs, the calculation of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division is the simplest!"
After saying that, Li Xuan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, moistening his throat.
Pei Ji and Li Shimin were stunned.
All three of them passed the arithmetic level. Although they still don’t understand Li Xuan’s explanation, they already have a general understanding in their minds.
They never thought that there were such simple and easy-to-use numbers in the world.
How convenient would such numbers be if they were applied to government affairs?
Thinking of this, Pei Ji and Li Shimin couldn't help but look at each other.
Then, he turned his head and stared at Li Xuan.
"Little Master, this kind of number is so magical. I wonder which sage created it?"
"It's the kid who is not talented!" Li Xuan replied indifferently.
"What the young master created?" Pei Ji looked surprised.
“That’s right!”
Li Xuan nodded again.
Although he was a little embarrassed, he was the first to come up with numbers in this era.
"The young master is indeed a great talent. If he uses this number in the account book, officials in the world can save at least half of his kung fu!" Pei Ji said with joy.
"Not only that, you can use this number on everything, including leading troops to fight, transporting food, grass, and armor, building bridges and roads, etc.!"
Lee Hyun added.
"Is that wonderful?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Ji was stunned.
At the same time, Li Shimin and Lawyer Pei, who were standing by, also reacted.
It seems as if the young master said, there is nothing to do, and there is no need to calculate.
"I am grateful to the young master for creating numbers for the officials in the world!"
Pei Ji hurriedly said, "I will report this great merit to the saint truthfully, ask the saint to give heavenly grace and reward the young master!"
"I will also report to the saint in this way!"
"Thank you, Prince and Mr. Pei!"
Li Xuan was unmoved at all and looked dull.
"If the saint really wants to reward the boy, please ask the prince and Pei Gong to give the saint a suggestion and reward the boy with more iron and food. If there is white flour, it would be better!"
Forehead!
Upon hearing this, Pei Ji couldn't help but look weird and subconsciously glanced at Li Shimin.
In this world, this is the first time he has seen someone’s reward from a saint opposite him, but it is so straightforward and plain!
Li Shimin also looked curious: "I dare to ask the little gentleman why only iron tools, food, and white flour? The creation of numbers is so great that the saint will definitely reward the young master's official position. Although he will not be the title of a prince, a county man can still not escape!"
"The boy is lazy by nature and can't be an official. Moreover, it's too dangerous outside. It's okay for a boy to stay in a secluded mountain village like Lijiazhuang and live a leisurely life every day!"
Li Xuan shook his head gently, looking careless.
joke.
His identity and appearance, he ran out rashly, and I don’t know how much trouble it could cause.
Moreover, there are many nobles in Chang'an City now. Even if they go out and accept the reward from Li Shimin, they are just a small nobleman and can only be bullied.
As for saying that he is Li Xuanba, Li Xuan himself doesn't believe it, let alone those people in Chang'an City who are familiar with Li Xuanba.
Maybe, there will be a counter-effect at that time.
There are constant troubles!
Where can I live in Lijiazhuang and be free and leisurely?
But the only regret is that I live in Lijiazhuang and there are many things that I can’t make or buy by myself!
"In this case, please rest assured by my little master. I will definitely propose to the saint!"
Li Xuan's tone did not seem to be fake, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly.
"Thank you, Prince!"
"I dare to ask Master, what is the use of pig iron?"
On the side, Pei Ji didn't dare to be so casual to Li Shimin, but continued to ask.
Since ancient times, salt and iron have been controlled by the imperial court.
"Mr. Pei, the boy just wants to create some gadgets!"
Li Xuan explained: "For example, the kid now only has a big iron pot and a small iron pot, which is far from enough! There are even kitchen knives, spoons, forks and other kitchen tools, which are very lacking."
"Also, the shovels and hoes needed to cultivate the fields, and these items need to be replaced! Furthermore, the boy also wants to use pig iron to build some chimneys and stoves for winter use!
in addition,……"
As he said that, Li Xuan couldn't stop.
He said no less than dozens of items in one breath.
Pei Ji and Li Shimin, who were beside him, were already stunned.
I'm afraid that these iron tools are not so complete in their mansion!
"If you use this, the young master does not have to worry. The saint will inevitably give you enough pig iron."
He took a breath and thought of something, Li Shimin continued, "But, the saint gave enough pig iron, can the young master have an iron shop to build these utensils?"
"If the young master believed in me, these tools would be handed over to me to make for me. In my name, there are still a few blacksmith shops!"
"So, Li Xuan thanks the prince!"
Li Xuan looked happy and hurriedly bowed to thank him!
