Chapter 9 Primitive Arithmetic Improvements(1/2)
"Good?"
Ye Zhenguo and Ye Ning were both stunned for a moment.
His knowledge is ranked first in Ye's Mansion.
Having been recognized by Ye Xiaoli, is this poem really good?
"Yes, it's pretty good!"
Ye Xiaoli nodded seriously and read out the poem Qi Tian told him. He had a good memory.
"The red beans grow in the south, and a few branches are blooming in spring. I hope you can pick more of them. This thing is the most love-loving."
After the words came to a quiet place, the courtyard became quiet.
After a long time, Ye Zhenguo twitched:
"Where did the stinky brat copy the poem?"
"Dad, this is not a copy, right? This is the first time I have heard this poem."
Ye Xiaoli immediately helped his brother-in-law argue.
Ye Ning was shy and played with the slightly wilted flowers in her hands.
"This thing is the most lovesick, lovesick..."
Xiaoqing stood there in a daze. She never dreamed that Qi Tian could write such a poem!
It's over!
The lady is even more fascinated now!
Turning his head to look at Ye Ning, Xiaoqing felt a chill in her heart.
As expected, Ye Ning was so obsessed with tenderness at this time.
"I'm busy!"
Seeing that the plan to humiliate Qi Tian’s poems had not been completed, Ye Zhenguo sighed and left directly with a long sigh.
"Dad, wait for me, I'm going to go out too. Sister, I'll leave first!"
Seeing his father going out, Ye Xiaoli wanted to get a carriage, so he hurriedly chased after him.
At this time, only Ye Ning and Xiao Qing were left in the courtyard.
Ye Ning had no sense of the words of the two men at home, and just quietly recalled the poem.
After a long time, Ye Ning spoke:
"Xiaoqing, bring paper and pen!"
"oh……"
Xiaoqing knew what her lady was going to do without thinking about it.
Copy the poems and essays of Qi Tian!
"well!"
It's a sin!
...
On the other hand, Qi Tian is now counting the general account of today's day.
"Liu Ping, where are the people you sent out?"
"I'm back soon, this little market is not closed yet."
When the grain was collected in the morning, he asked him to send someone to record the prices of cotton and grain in the market.
While speaking, I calculated a few numbers at my fingertips and filled them into the account book.
It's very fast!
Liu Ping, who was standing beside him, was stunned and said in surprise:
"Young Master, are you arithmetic so fast?"
"What, you can't do arithmetic?"
Qi Tian calculated some simple numbers, and you can tell at a glance.
Multiplication and addition are just some very basic calculations when applied to life.
"I will do it a little."
"Then you can count."
Qi Tian is too lazy to keep the accounts, anyway, he will be enough to review it once.
"good."
Liu Ping took out a wooden stick, broke it into several pieces, and then put it on the ground.
"What are you doing?"
Qi Tian was stunned.
What's this kid playing him?
I'm doing my job here!
"I'll settle the score. These tens of thousands of taels of silver will take a long time to calculate!"
Liu Ping said seriously.
"fart!"
Qi Tian slapped him in the head, and then suddenly became stunned.
"Wait a minute, how do you calculate things in Daliang?"
"Of course it's a calculation, look..."
Liu Ping proudly showed his calculation skills with Qi Tian.
As the explanation was made, a gust of wind blew, blowing away the wooden sticks he placed in front of him.
"oops!"
Liu Ping quickly protected the table with both hands to prevent the wind from blowing in.
One hand gradually put out the calculation plan again.
Qi Tian looked at him with a dark face.
It's not that he looks down on the calculation sheet, but the algorithm is indeed a bit primitive.
Who can calculate the number and place several rows of wooden sticks?
"Stop and stop!"
He waved his hand quickly, and Qi Tian ordered Liu Ping, who was struggling to protect the wooden sticks under the strong wind.
"What's wrong with Master?"
"I'll draw a picture for you, and you can find a carpenter to do it."
"ah?"
Qi Tian simply drew out the structure of the abacus and handed it to Liu Ping.
It's a little slower than the calculator, but abacus is also a very useful tool.
"What is this, Master."
"This is called abacus. I'll tell you, you should be able to understand it soon..."
Qi Tian General's method of using the abacus and how much is the binary number, and explained in detail to Liu Ping.
Liu Ping was stunned after hearing this.
Yunniang, who was serving tea and pouring water on the side, looked at Qi Tian a little differently at this time.
"I didn't expect you to be so powerful."
After Yunniang poured a cup of tea for Qi Tian, she stood aside and whispered.
"There are many powerful places in this young master. By the way, can you calculate?"
Seeing that there was still available labor, Qi Tian suddenly thought of how to sell goods tomorrow.
“Can some.”
"What is one hundred and three plus one hundred and three?"
"Two hundred and sixty two."
Yunniang answered without thinking.
This is called mental arithmetic. As a courtesan, she often comes into contact with money on weekdays, so she naturally calculates quickly.
