Datang romantic little landlord

Li Er raised his arm towards him speechlessly, motioning for him to speak quickly.

Being so watched by everyone, Li Wangyou was also a little ashamed. He could only clear his throat, bowed his hands to Dai Zhou in embarrassment, and then continued: "Your Majesty, I just heard Dai Shangshu say that the Ministry of Civil Affairs counts the amount of lottery sales, and suddenly remembered something. .My Ministry of Civil Affairs in the Tang Dynasty is in charge of the land, money and food in the world, but the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs are not good at calculation, and the calculation efficiency is too low..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Dai Zhou who couldn't help but speak.

As Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, although Dai Zhou has a good relationship with Li Wangyou, he couldn't help frowning at this moment.

"Huxianzi, the officials of our Ministry of Civil Affairs are all proficient in arithmetic. Although there may not be Huxianzi who is so knowledgeable, but only one calculation, I dare say that there is no one in the world who is from the Ministry of Minutes."

Dai Zhou was also a little angry, and his tone was unavoidably tough.

As the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he naturally couldn't listen to Li Wangyou's criticism of the Ministry of Civil Affairs' poor calculation ability.

Seeing that the old man was angry, Li Wangyou quickly bowed deeply: "Dai Shangshu, if I am wrong, please don't blame Dai Shangshu. However, the calculation method of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is indeed backward, this is a fact. I also think of the Ministry of Civil Affairs So presumptuous to bring this up."

In fact, if Li Wangyou communicated with Dai Zhou in private, Dai Zhou would definitely not have the slightest disgust, but would be grateful to Li Wangyou.

But in front of all civil and military officials, saying that the Ministry of Civil Affairs' calculation ability is not good, isn't this slapping Dai Zhou in the face?No wonder the old man was angry.

But Li Wangyou had other intentions, so naturally he didn't care to offend Dai Zhou a little bit.Anyway, he believed that as long as what he said was proved to be correct in the end, the old man Dai Zhou would have to thank him.

"Hmph, the old man wants to ask for advice today, to see how clever Hu Xianzi's algorithm is!" Dai Zhou tossed his robe angrily, and didn't give Li Wangyou a good look.

What Li Wangyou was waiting for was his words, and quickly climbed up: "Your Majesty, since Dai Shangshu doesn't believe it, I would like you to have a competition in this hall today to prove that what I said is true, is it okay?"

Li Er rubbed his temples, thinking that this guy is really here to make trouble!

However, he couldn't remain indifferent to Li Wangyou's words. After all, if what he said was true, it would be a good thing for the Ministry of Civil Affairs to improve its calculation efficiency.

"Hu Xianzi, how do you want to compete?" Li Er asked.

"Hehe, it's simple. Please Dai Shangshu find ten officials who are proficient in arithmetic from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. They will compare their calculation speed with my two disciples in this hall to see if what I said is true."

As soon as Li Wangyou finished speaking, all the officials looked at Ma Zhou and Yan Liben in the hall.The two also looked confused, stood up in disbelief, looked at Li Wangyou, and pointed at themselves.

That means Master, are you sure?

Although the two of them studied under Li Wangyou, they had little contact with mathematics. Isn't it a joke to ask them to compete with the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?

Li Wangyou quickly waved his hands: "Bin Wang, Li Ben, I'm not talking about you."

He cupped his hands at Li Er again and said, "Your Majesty, what I'm talking about is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Yue."

As soon as Li Wangyou's words came out, Dai Zhou's face turned dark, and the faces of those officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs who were qualified to participate in the Chang Dynasty also became ugly.

The officials were in an uproar, as if they had seen a ghost, some even rubbed their ears, wondering if they had heard hallucinations just now?

The prince and His Highness the King of Yue?

Li Chengqian is only nine years old now, and Li Tai is only eight years old. Although these two people have noble status, they are only two children now.

Just now, Huxian Zi said that these two young children should compete in calculation speed with ten officials who are proficient in mathematics from the Ministry of Civil Affairs?This is really a joke in the world.

Li Er was also speechless, although Li Chengqian and Li Tai were his precious sons, but Li Wangyou couldn't mess around like this, isn't this blatantly humiliating Dai Zhou and others?

If it is said that Li Wangyou's calculation ability is stronger than that of the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, both Li Er and Dai Zhou believe in this point.

Back in Zhang Liang's mansion, Li Wangyou had already demonstrated his arithmetic ability.

But now he is actually brazenly saying that the two young children, but after studying with him for more than a month, they can be better than the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, no one will believe this.

"Huxianzi, don't play around!" Li Er sternly said, "Apologize to Duke Dai, how can you say such a joke at will."

Li Er's words were for Dai Zhou to step down, and he was also defending Li Wangyou. He regarded what he said just now as a joke, and everyone laughed and passed.

Unexpectedly, Li Wangyou didn't appreciate it at all. He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I'm not joking. You can't pretend to do this. Your Majesty will find out after trying it. If I have any lies, I would like to be punished by Your Majesty."

Seeing Li Wangyou's insistence, Li Erdao hesitated, and couldn't help but look at Dai Zhou, wanting to see what he had to say.

Dai Zhou was really angry at this time, seeing that Li Wangyou was so persistent and wanted to slap him in the face of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he didn't care about the little affection between him and Li Wangyou.

The old man was furious, and said with a stiff neck: "Your Majesty, since Mr. Huxian is so determined, I am willing to accept this competition. Just as Mr. Huxian said, I ask your Majesty to agree! If I lose, this Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will not do it." Forget it!"

Dai Zhou's words startled Li Wangyou, he didn't mean to offend Dai Zhou to death.

Li Wangyou hurriedly bowed to Dai Zhou: "Dai Shangshu, why did you say that? If you offend him with your words just now, please don't blame Dai Shangshu. I also have good intentions. I saw that the calculation method of our Ministry of Civil Affairs is indeed a little behind. I only brought up this matter in a moment of impatience. It is true that I did not mean to humiliate the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so I ask Dai Shangshu to investigate clearly."

His words made Dai Zhou's face look a little better.

However, both parties have reached this point, and Li Er can't pretend not to hear it, so he nodded after a little thought.

He also wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Li Wangyou's gourd.

Could it be that his two sons are really arithmetic geniuses?

Regardless of the fact that Li Er is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he is no different from ordinary parents in his bones. They are all eager to see their children become dragons.Otherwise, after seeing Li Wangyou's talent and learning, he would not force his eldest son and second son into his sect and worship Li Wangyou as his teacher.

Although arithmetic is a small way, if the two young children can outperform those officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it is something that Li Er should be proud of.

"Men from Huxian County, how are you going to make Chengqian, Qingque and the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs compete?" Li Er is also looking forward to it now.

"Your Majesty, Dai Shangshu, it's better to have a competition like this. Please Dai Shangshu order someone to fetch this year's money and food account book from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and ten officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Yue will check the calculation together. Let's see which of the two sides has the fastest calculation speed and the most accurate result. , what do you think Dai Shang wrote?"

"Well..." Dai Zhou pondered for a while, then turned his gaze to Fang Xuanling who was at the side, wanting to ask for his opinion.

367 world's fastest

The six departments of the Tang Dynasty are all under the jurisdiction of Shangshu Province.

Since Li Er served as Shangshuling when he was king of Qin, he ascended the throne as the empress. In order to avoid taboo, the post of Shangshuling was vacant for a long time.

Shangshu Province only has left and right servants, and Fang Xuanling is the chief of Shangshu Province.

Fang Xuanling thought for a while, and felt that Li Wangyou was not from Meng Lang, and there must be a reason for today's incident.

Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling nodded lightly, expressing his agreement.

Seeing that his immediate superior agreed, Dai Zhou naturally didn't say anything more, and agreed to Li Wangyou's seemingly absurd request.

"But, since Hu Xianzi is so confident, let's compare it. The old man ordered someone to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to carry the public documents..."

Before Dai Zhou finished speaking, he saw one of the officials standing up suddenly, and interjected: "Dai Shangshu, the lower officials think this matter is wrong. The public records of the Ministry of Civil Affairs are very important, how can they be taken out at will?"

Li Wangyou couldn't help being amused when he saw the speaker, thinking that there was indeed something wrong with this guy.

It was Li Ru, a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who spoke out against it.

"Your Majesty, Dai Shangshu, the money and food records of the Ministry of Civil Affairs are very important, how can they be used as a test? If Huxianzi wants to compare calculations with the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you can ask Your Majesty to come up with a question."
