Chapter 117 The big farmer makes people choose! Huo Guang does not shy away from others when he promotes talents

Sang Hongyang, who is good at calculation and sharp words, has already seen the cleverness in Huo Guang's question.

However, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was obviously not as good at arithmetic as Sang Hongyang, and for a while he did not notice the problem with the chess pieces in their hands.

so.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, continued to ask: "Huo Guang, you have fourteen chess pieces and Sang Hongyang only has seven. How can we say the same thing?"

When Huo Guang heard this, he said to Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Let me explain to you."

"My first sentence was to say that I have as many chess pieces as he has in his hand!"

"Look, if I divide the seven chess pieces, the numbers will be the same."

"The second sentence, I have two more chess pieces than him. Look, if I take out two more pieces, doesn't it match?"

"Finally, all the remaining chess pieces are given to Sang Shizhong. His chess pieces are seven, plus the five I gave, it's exactly twelve. This exactly corresponds to my last sentence.

"

While Huo Guang was speaking, his hands were not idle. He gently pushed the five extra chess pieces on the chessboard to Sang Hongyang's chess piece.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty frowned, even though he already knew that the number of opponent's chess pieces was now twelve.

But I couldn't help but count them again.

Then found out.

The chess pieces on Sang Hongyang's side really turned into twelve!

At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty showed an expression of curiosity and amazement on his face, clapped his hands and said, "Sure enough, there are twelve chess pieces, seconds!"

"Huo Guang, don't you know how many chess pieces Sang Hongyang has in his hand?"

"Quick, tell me how this is done?"

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, had liked novelty gadgets since he was a child. Now that Huo Guang had given him a try, he immediately became interested.

Huo Guang then explained: "Your Majesty, to put it bluntly, it's just arithmetic operations."

"Arithmetic?" Han Wu Emperor Liu Che squinted at Sang Hongyang.

Talk about arithmetic.

Sang Hongyang is very powerful. Why, he didn’t notice it?

At this moment, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very curious.

Huo Guang also explained at this time: "Your Majesty, you see, in fact, this is a problem of the equivalence of the numbers on both sides. I have fourteen chess pieces in my hand, and in Sang Shizhong's hand, no matter how many chess pieces he grabs, as long as

If it's less than twelve, I can make his final result become twelve!"

"It probably means fourteen minus two equals twelve."

"Twelve minus the remaining number in his hand is the number of extra chess pieces I have."

"The total sum of the numbers is equal, and the difference is the remaining number."

"If Your Majesty still doesn't understand, you can remove the middle step and the two extra chess pieces."

"The total comes to twelve."

"I have twelve chess pieces in my hand, and if Mr. Sang's number is less than twelve, my two numbers will be subtracted from each other. If I give him the extra number of chess pieces, it will still be my original number of twelve."

After Huo Guang explained.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly felt enlightened, shook his head and said: "Hey, it's such a simple arithmetic problem, Sang Hongyang, you didn't realize it."

Listen to His Majesty's rebuke.

Sang Hongyang looked very embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, I have fallen for Huo Yilang's trick. He deliberately used those words to confuse me. Otherwise, how could I not see the problem in this."

Good guy.

Sang Hongyang’s mouth is really tough!

Huo Guang raised his eyebrows, glanced at him, and said lightly: "Shizhong Sang, if you lose, you lose. Where do you get so many excuses!"

"snort."

Sang Hongyang snorted and said he didn't want to pay attention to Huo Guang.

At this moment.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at the two people who were having an unpleasant quarrel and immediately waved his hands and said: "Okay, I didn't ask you to come here today just to listen to your bickering."

"Among the nine ministers, the position of Da Nong Ling is still vacant!"

"Two of you, let's talk about it. Who would be more suitable for me to arrange to fill this official position?"

Shizhong, Langzhong, Yilang, Zhonglang, etc. are all close ministers around His Majesty and the think tank around the Emperor.

Sometimes when His Majesty encounters problems that cannot be solved, he will hold an internal meeting to discuss solutions.

And the internal meeting.

It was these close ministers who participated and made suggestions.

so.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty now asked Yu Huoguang and Sang Hongyang about the promotion of candidates. This is normal.

After hearing His Majesty's question, Sang Hongyang immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think Zhuang Qingzhai is feasible. This person is now serving as the Censor Zhongcheng and the Crown Prince Taifu, so he is qualified for the job!"

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard about Zhuang Qingzhai, he immediately shook his head and said: "Zhuang Qingzhai should let him teach the prince specifically. The Da Nong Order is a very busy job, so don't be distracted!"

Seeing that His Majesty rejected the proposal.

Sang Hongyang immediately said: "I would like to recommend Shi Qing, the former Crown Prince and Tutor, to your majesty, is it okay?"

Former prince and tutor?

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, he still shook his head.

The Shi family was so famous that during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty described it as the family of Wan Shijun.

There is no other reason.

From the father to the four sons of the Shi family, they are basically officials with a salary of two thousand dan, and they are all high-ranking officials.

If it were left to the time of Emperor Jing, of course there would be no problem.

But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, was now in power. With his jealous mind, it was naturally impossible for him to hand over such an important position as the Da Nong Order to the Shi family father and son.

Sang Hongyang saw that two of his recommendations were rejected in a row, and he did not dare to say anything at the moment.

I was afraid that if someone said something that His Majesty would not like, it would actually make Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty angry.

then.

He turned his attention to Huo Guang and said, "Your Majesty, I can't think of any good candidates for the time being."

"but!"

"Looking at Huo Yilang's appearance, he must have already recommended someone in his mind."

"Your Majesty, why not listen to Huo Yilang's advice first?"

Good guy.

Why are you blaming me if you can't recommend a suitable candidate yourself?

Huo Guang suddenly felt helpless.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, heard what Sang Hongyang said, so he turned his attention to Huo Guang and said, "Huo Guang, please tell me who you think is suitable to fill the vacancy of the Da Nong Order!"

Huo Guang suddenly frowned and asked: "Your Majesty, let me tell you something. If you feel bad, don't be angry!"

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, immediately said: "But it doesn't matter. If I really don't like it and don't adopt your suggestion, then that's it. How can I be angry?"

Hear this.

The tension in Huo Guang's heart suddenly relaxed and he quickly said: "Your Majesty, the Da Nong Order controls the country's money, grain, goods and other financial revenue and expenditure. Such an official position should be found by someone who is good at playing with arithmetic problems!"

"And such a person?"

"It's not far in the horizon, it's right in front of you!"

Far away in the horizon but right in front of you?

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Sang Hongyang heard this, they both stared at Huo Guang in unison.

Sang Hongyang even tried to stop him and said: "Your Majesty, you can't do that. Huo Yilang is so young and has not even performed the crowning ceremony. If he is allowed to serve as a big farmer and spread the word, wouldn't he be laughing at me because I have no one in my court?"

"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this.

He also nodded repeatedly and said: "What Sang Hongyang said is not unreasonable. Huo Guang, you are still too young. The problem of the income and expenditure of Qiangu's goods is not just a matter of playing arithmetic."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said this.

Huo Guang suddenly felt a little pain in his balls, and after sighing a little in his heart, he said: "Your Majesty, I didn't say it was me!"

"That's what I said."
