"Risheng! Congratulations!"

"Ah, we are happy together."

"Risheng, you're a big shot this time. Did anyone with a wealthy family knock on the door at night to propose marriage last night?"

“No, no…”

"Risheng, do you still have more four treasures of study in your hand? We will also share a few of them. Let's go back and get some literary talent."

"Ah this..."

In the early morning in Huaidefang, Li Ang responded to his fellow villagers and classmates with a wry smile.

The news that the first test of the academy was announced soon spread throughout Chang'an.

An unknown female student in Youzhou and a young doctor in Banzhou beat the son of the prime minister of the 13th department and won the first and second place in the first exam.

Such news was so bizarre that early in the morning, a group of idle citizens gathered outside the Huaidefang Hostel.

No one doubts whether the results announced by the Academy are true, but they are just curious about Li Ang.

Li Ang responded to the fellow villagers and classmates, looked at their backs who went to Pingkangfang to have a banquet again, and shook his head with a wry smile.

As the saying goes, there are only 5,000 people in the first trial of the school, and some people are always eliminated.

However, the examination process of the academy is reasonable and the papers are judged fairly and justly. If you don’t make it, it can only be said that you are a bad move and your luck is not good.

Among the students in Benzhou, Zhai Yiming ranked 1,117, Song Shaoyuan ranked 909, Ji Linglang ranked 331, and five others were eliminated - since they had a chance to come again next year, they were not so sad.

"I didn't expect to come back from the second place this time,"

Li Ang closed the door and muttered, "I thought the first hundred would be good..."

Chai Cuiqiao asked curiously: "Young Master, what is the second place?"

"It's the second place in the exam."

Li Ang remembered that Yu State had no second place yet, only the top scorer, or the top scorer, the top scorer.

As for Tanhua, it is not the third place. But when the newly promoted Jinshi went to Xingyuan to visit according to the rules, he called the young and handsome Jinshi who rode a horse and picked famous flowers in the garden - Tanhualang.

"But it's quite strange,"

Li Ang muttered: "My scriptures and questions are all grade A, grade A, grade A, grade A, grade A, grade A. It is logical that I should not be ranked above Pei Jing, who is all grade A in the thirteenth subjects. Could it be that my score for herbal medicine and painting is too high?"

———

"Okay! OK!"

In the room of Chongyefang Restaurant, a short and fat doctor of mathematics in the academic palace named Chao Wenyuan was admired repeatedly with joy. She couldn't help but chuckled.

Several disciples on the side asked curiously: "Teacher, is this paper really that good?"

“It’s more than just good.”

He shook his head at Wenyuan and spread the test papers full of dense texts on the table, "Look at each question, this candidate is almost showing off his skills, and has used more than one method to solve the problem.

There is the method of deriving by graphs in the "Ji Ancient Summary",

There is also the Indian number algorithm in the Brahmin Algorithm in "Brahman Algorithm" in "Book of Sui Dynasty: Jingjizhi",

And this one..."

He pointed at the corner of the test paper with his fingertips, some horizontal and vertical lines drawn in different squares, and asked the students with a smile: "What do you think this is?"

The disciples came forward and recognized at a glance that the horizontal and vertical lines drawn on the test paper were calculated - a notation method commonly used in the Spring and Autumn Period.

And these calculations represent...

"Tianyuan Technique?!"

The disciples screamed in surprise.

“Yes,”

Chao Wenyuan sighed and said, "Wang Xiaotong, who was the Grand Historian in the late Sui Dynasty, studied the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic and the "Entertainment of the Ancient Arithmetic", wrote the "Jiuan Arithmetic", and used language, Pythagorean patterns and deductions to calculate complex problems.

The Academy continues to develop on its basis, regarding the unknown number of demand as the number of heavenly primitives, that is, the "State Heavenly primitives"

List two equal Tianyuan formulas, subtract the Tianyuan formula, and obtain a Tianyuan formula, then use the method of increasing, multiplying and opening to find the correct root and solve the unknown number of Tianyuan.

It is clear in structure and well-trained, faster than the Pythagorean graph derivation method.”

"The Academy has published papers on Tianyuan Art before, and that candidate is really good at learning it by himself."

A student frowned and said, "But the method of increasing multiplication and opening is only mentioned in the paper, but there is no detailed discussion - teacher, you plan to put the method of increasing multiplication and opening and opening together, and then publish it into a book when you are ready.

How did he learn it?”

"Look at the smallest and learn from it, learn from it. If there are no easy-to-use math tools and calculation methods, then create one yourself."

Chao Wenyuan said in a deep voice: "This is a genius!

In the entire math exam, only two candidates, He Fanshuang and Li Ang, answered all the questions in the exam room.

He Fanshuang can get full marks because she has the ability to get full marks.

And Li Ang scored the full score because he only scored the full score.

If it weren't for this, I wouldn't argue in front of the mountain leader and strongly demanded that his ranking be put in front."

When the teacher heard the teacher praise the student named Li Ang so much, the disciples present were more or less dissatisfied.

Chao Wenyuan saw this and sighed: "The history of the development of mathematics is an intermittent history.

The continuation and development of mathematics in ancient times was mainly based on private family traditions from several households, and mathematics knowledge was constantly lost and lost.

It was reinvented by later generations dozens or hundreds of years later.

The overall level of mathematics has several ups and downs, ups and downs.

It was not until the Academy attached importance to math and regarded math as an important tool for practical use that the folk customs gradually reversed.

It is precisely because of mathematics that we can predict the trajectory of the sun, moon and stars, estimate the wood, stone and earth required to build bridges and pavilions, calculate the height of the distant mountains, the flow rate of the river, and even assist in practice.

Instead of using personal experience to ‘feel’.

Even if this student named Li Ang failed to enter the palace in the end, I would ask the mountain chief for instructions and accept him as his disciple..."

As he was talking, Chao Wenyuan suddenly paused, squinted his eyes and muttered to himself: "But Sun Pu, who taught herbal medicine in the palace, and Du Qinyin, who taught painting, also gave him a grade-level score.

Although we are in the same fight, if we want to compete with me for disciples,

Then don't blame me for turning against others..."

The disciples in the wing looked at each other,

In addition to teaching the prescribed courses, doctors in the academy will also select some disciples who they like to study certain topics together.

The tutor chooses the student, and the student chooses the tutor.

but...

Chao Wenyuan's cultivation seems to be able to patrol the clouds.

Du Qinyin, a female monk who was a classmate of the school age, had already broken through to the advanced level of the Yunzhang Realm a few years ago.

If you really fight, Chao Wenyuan will probably be hung up and hammered by the other party... just like when the two of them were young.

The disciples present imagined the picture, shut up decisively, and watched Chao Wenyuan sitting on the chair, happily looking through Li Ang's test paper.
Chapter completed!
