Are you really going to let your two sons fail in a competition with the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?

Li Er hadn't spoken yet, but Dai Zhou couldn't help frowning and spoke.

"Hu Xianzi, there are so many accounts in Richeng this year, how can they be counted in a short period of time?"

With so many account books, even if the Ministry of Civil Affairs conducts daily accounting, it will take more than a month.

How can this be done in a short period of time?

But Li Wangyou chuckled: "Dai Shangshu, it won't take much time, a stick of incense is enough."

What he said caused an uproar among the officials again, thinking that Hu Xianzi was joking again.The money and food brought by the Ministry of Civil Affairs is a thick pile of account books, even if you just read it, it will not be enough time for a stick of incense.

Before Dai Zhou could speak, Li Wangyou walked to the account book, reached out and picked up a book, and looked at the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs: "Everyone, are you ready?"

These officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, when they heard that they were actually going to compete with two young children in math, they all felt humiliated.

Even though the two childish children were His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty and His Highness the King of Yue, Li Wangyou's proposal was a humiliation to these officials who were proficient in arithmetic.

Facing Li Wangyou's words, the ten officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs did not speak, but silently took out their calculations from their pockets and placed them on several cases.

Li Wangyou touched his nose in embarrassment, then looked at Li Chengqian and Li Tai: "Chengqian, Qingque, are you ready?"

Li Chengqian and Li Tai had looked forward to it for a long time, they took out something from their sleeves and put it on the table in front of them with a clatter.

"Teacher, don't worry, we will definitely win!"

After spending many days with the group of brats in Dingzhou Village, Li Chengqian became much more cheerful, and finally regained the appearance that a nine-year-old child should have, instead of the "prestige of a prince" that he deliberately pretended to be before.

Li Tai was not to be outdone, the little fat man waved his fist: "Master, I must be the fastest today."

What the two of them took out made Li Er, Dai Zhou and others very curious, and they all stretched their necks to see what happened.

A small wooden box filled with many wooden beads... If there are people who have traveled through the hundreds of officials in the hall, they will definitely recognize this object at a glance.

abacus!

Li Wangyou taught arithmetic to the second elementary school, but he didn't expect that Li Chengqian and Li Tai were both smart, and they were more familiar with memorizing Jiujiu than him.

After learning the Arabic numerals taught by Professor Li Wangyou, Li Wangyou couldn't compare to these two little guys in the calculation speed of simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, which made him feel very embarrassed.

In order to save his face, Li Wangyou shamelessly plagiarized the abacus that originated in the Northern Song Dynasty.

As a result, Li Chengqian and Li Tai, two little fellows who only knew how to count, were abused by Li Wangyou again.

In fact, Li Wangyou is not proficient in abacus. After all, calculators are popular in later generations. Except for those old accountants, who would use an abacus?

Li Wangyou knew how to use the abacus, which was taught to him when his grandfather was still alive when he was young.He is only good at it, and he is still far away from proficiency.

But no matter how sloppy his movements of turning the abacus are, his calculation speed is far beyond that of counting chips.

You must know that those who contributed to China's two bombs and one satellite relied on hand-operated computers and abacus to check and calculate extremely huge data.

Shocked by Li Wangyou's abacus, Second Elementary School worshiped her teacher even more.

These two people are really smart, and it didn't take much time for them to be quite proficient in abacus.Especially the chubby Li Tai, the chubby man moved the abacus with lightning speed, which made Li Wangyou click his tongue.

He has seen some videos of game masters in later generations, and those non-human beings who danced on the keyboard with their hands made him smack.

A Japanese player named Takahashi Mingren, who can press the buttons sixteen times a second and fire sixteen bullets on an old-fashioned gamepad, is known as "Sixteen Langs in One Second".

Not to mention those professional game players, who can effectively operate 1 to 200 times on the keyboard within 300 minute, which makes Li Wangyou, who is a handicapped party, feel speechless.

And the little fat man Li Tai is actually such a master of hand speed.

Ever since he learned how to calculate the abacus, every time he moved the abacus, Li Wangyou unconsciously associated it with the afterimages in the comics...

In short, ever since Second Elementary School learned how to count, Li Wangyou has never made any calculations in front of Second Elementary School.

Can't afford to lose that person!

369 Unexpected Joy

The abacus in the hands of Li Chengqian and Li Tai is also a gift that Li Wangyou specially found high-quality nanmu, let Carpenter Liu carefully craft it, and gave it to the second primary school.

After Carpenter Liu knew that he was making an abacus for His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Yue, it was a matter of heart.Even when his own son wanted to help, Carpenter Liu drove him away. He used his whole body to create two exquisite abacus.

And these two exquisite calculations also made Li Chengqian and Li Tai love each other.

Li Er and Empress Changsun naturally didn't know the abacus presented by their son.Empress Changsun didn't hold back her curiosity, and asked, "Chengqian, Qingque, what are you?"

"Aniang, this is the abacus. The teacher gave it to us." Li Chengqian proudly shook his abacus, making a soft clattering sound.

"What's the use?" Empress Changsun turned her attention to Li Wangyou again, hoping to get his explanation.

Li Wangyou hurriedly bowed: "Your Highness, the abacus is used for calculation, just like counting chips, but faster and more accurate than counting chips."

Empress Changsun nodded. This county family often makes these strange things, but they don't know how much faster this abacus can be than the calculation chips, and whether it can really make their two sons win the competition.

She doesn't care about the problems with the account books of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, that's what her husband needs to worry about.

As a mother, Empress Changsun cared more about her son, whether it was true that, as Li Wangyou said, he could calculate faster than ten civil servants.

Li Tai couldn't help but shouted: "Aniang, the teacher said, in terms of calculation speed, I use the abacus to be the best in the world, no one is faster than me!"

What he said made Empress Changsun couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling, feeling that she was a silly son who would believe anything.These eight achievements are what Li Wangyou said to tease them, but they still take it seriously.

"Okay, okay, Auntie understands, then Qingque, you can work hard for a while." Empress Changsun laughed, but even Li Tai, a little kid, could recognize her perfunctory tone.

Seeing that his mother didn't believe his words, Li Tai was so anxious that Chubby blushed, and stretched out his hand to pull Li Wangyou's sleeve.

"Teacher, Madam, she doesn't believe my words."

Li Wangyou smiled and said comforting words: "Hehe, Qingque, then you can prove it to Empress Zhangsun. I believe that your calculation speed is the fastest in the world, and no one can compare."

The two spoke in a loud voice, and the officials in the hall heard these words, and many people laughed.

Most people thought that Li Wangyou was coaxing the child again, and the laughter was good-natured.However, quite a few people just chuckled, and there was too much irony in it.

Li Ru felt that she was too nervous and lost face, and seeing Li Wangyou's upset, she couldn't help but stand up again.

"Huxianzi is really arrogant. Do you really think that the officials of our Ministry of Civil Affairs are full of wine bags and rice bags?"

What he said was clever, and he directly put Li Wangyou on the opposite side of many officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, causing all the officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to glar at Li Wangyou in the hall.

Li Wangyou cast a glance at Li Ru: "Master Li doesn't believe Mo Fei? That's easy. If you think I'm lying, why don't you make a bet?"

"Bet, bet, what do you want to bet?"
