"As long as you ask a question and I can't answer it, I will lose!" Laplace was filled with boundless anger.
Lin Ke was stunned.
Eh? Why does this sentence feel so familiar?
No, Laplace is really not some kind of son of god?
Of course, it was impossible for Lin Ke to come up with a few guesses at this time, which would be too shocking.
That's not scientific.
And Laplace...
Laplace decided to ask a lot of basic and simple questions later that Lin Ke could not answer, and then answer them easily, severely humiliating this little country lord!
Of course, he also had a doubt in his heart, that is, how could this stupid little noble from the countryside dare to collide with his strongest field?
Is there anything to rely on? Laplace couldn't help but think again.
After all, Lin Ke looks too calm at this time!
He was calm, calm, and took the lead in launching a literary challenge, which made Laplace a little hesitant.
You must know that he is the son of the Marquis of Ice, and he has won the heir of a small noble. There is nothing worthy of praise, this is natural.
After all, a marquis can bring far more resources to his children than a viscount...
And if he loses, the heir of a dignified marquis will be no match for the heir of a country viscount.
Others will not doubt how incompetent the Marquis on Ice is, they will only think that his Laplace is too hip-reaching.
So Laplace now has some doubts.
You must know that there is a high-level professional behind Lin Ke now. He is even stronger than Laplace's father, the Marquis on the Ice. Much stronger.
They didn't know what the high-level professional's occupation was.
What if I happen to be majoring in mathematics?
What if Lin Ke gets some unique problem from that professional?
However, Laplace quickly denied these.
"Perhaps Lin Ke is in the countryside and is good at math compared to the idiots around him?" Laplace thought to himself, and then his doubts disappeared.
Just a stupid little aristocrat who lives in a small castle in the country and thinks he's good at math, huh.
He had heard before that some young nobles in the country could get carried away even though they knew some addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Because many of those slaves and servants could only do addition and subtraction, which was not very fast.
And some small nobles in the countryside can use multiplication and division skillfully and are proud of it.
And what he can do is some complex calculations.
"Would you like to make a bet?" Laplace felt that humiliating Lin Ke was not enough, so he made an even more extreme request.
"Oh? A bet?" Lin Ke looked at him with a half-smile: "What are you betting on?"
These great nobles must have a lot of good things, right?
"Hmph, what can you come up with?" Laplace snorted, full of disdain.
"I have nothing." Lin Ke shook his head: "I am just the heir, not Viscount Azane."
Laplace rolled his eyes and said: "Well, you must have pocket money, how about we bet on a month's pocket money? I have a monthly pocket money of 20,000 gold coins."
Good guy...The Marquis's family is really rich...
Lin Ke was about to refuse. After all, everything has a contingency. What if he loses? Wouldn't it make the debt worse?
Be steady.
"Lin Ke, bet with him! We have money!"
Unexpectedly, Antova stood up at this time, and Furlong.
"Auntie, mother, I..." Lin Ke frowned.
"We, Azan, are not afraid!" Antova said loudly, and the people around looked at her with thoughtful expressions in their eyes.
Azan is not afraid!
When Lin Ke heard this, he immediately glanced back and forth, taking in everyone's expressions and understanding Antova's intention.
When it comes to money, you can’t lose the momentum!
In addition to the nobles, there are also many Azan's servants and guards around!
They don't know what debt is, they only know that Azan is the most powerful.
At this time, if Lin Ke did not bet just to be on the safe side, he would be looked down upon.
"Then let's bet. Do you dare to bet fifty thousand gold coins?" Lin Ke said slowly.
"Fifty thousand? That's my five months' pocket money... no, more than two months' pocket money!" Even Laplace exclaimed.
"If you don't dare, forget it." Lin Ke smiled.
"It's a bet!" Laplace was excited by Lin Ke, and his face immediately turned red, and then his expression began to change.
Seeing the change in Laplace's expression, Lin Ke shook his head: "Let's get started."
There is no point in talking more. The son of the Marquis on the Ice was already consumed by anger.
"You ask, as long as I can't answer, I lose." Laplace crossed his arms and looked at Lin Ke with disdain.
"Do you need pen and paper?" Lin Ke asked with a smile.
"No need." Laplace made up his mind to use pure wisdom to defeat the stupid and arrogant little country noble in front of him.
Lin Ke didn't know that he had changed from "stupid" to "stupid, arrogant and country" in Laplace's adjective.
He just said to Butler Billy: "Uncle Billy, ask someone to bring more paper, and bring the high-quality paper... Also, let the workers rest."
Lin Ke glanced at him, and Butler Billy understood it. His figure turned into an afterimage and disappeared in place as soon as he moved.
The paper mill is in the stocking stage and has not yet been exposed, but it can be warmed up and advertised.
Many of the people here now are nobles from around Azan.
In terms of power, they are all viscounts and counts, not much different from Azan.
Judging from the distance, if we buy or sell paper in the future, the transportation distance will not be too far.
Many times, the transportation cost of bulk trade is the largest cost source, and many transportation costs even exceed the input of raw materials.
In addition, so many nobles came as soon as Lin Ke woke up. In order to prevent the papermaking technology from being leaked, it would be better for the villagers to go back and rest.
After giving orders to Butler Billy, Lin Ke looked at Laplace again and suggested, "Why don't you ask first?"
Laplace smiled coldly when he heard this: "Then let me ask the simplest question. Don't just admit defeat."
With that said, Laplace said directly without waiting for Lin Ke's answer: "You and I have an army of 120,000 more than yours. The comparison between our army and yours is 7:4. Our army has tens of thousands, and yours has 120,000 more."
Tens of thousands of people?”
After saying that, Laplace looked at Lin Ke proudly, with a cruel smile in his eyes, and thought to himself: This stupid and arrogant little country noble must be stupid, right? Hahaha...
Although he said this question was the simplest question, it was actually very difficult.
This was one of the five questions his teacher asked him, and it was the only one among the five that he solved.
After he mentioned the topic, the nobles began to discuss it.
"Such a difficult question?!" Princess Lika exclaimed, turned around and asked the Count Jusword next to her: "How do you calculate this?"
"Uh... This... This... Your Highness, Princess, you must know that I am not a [scholar]." Earl Jusword's cold eyes were a bit embarrassed: "But I can repel the jackals for you.
Dragons and Frost Giants."
He scratched the back of his head with his thick arm, and the ugly look on his face became even more ugly.
"Okay, but I think the math questions are much more difficult than those." Princess Lika curled her lips and went to ask others, but others didn't know.
You must know that there are very few [scholars] in the first place. After all, the feedback needed for employment as [scholars] comes from study and research, etc. This kind of feedback is the most rare.
As for [Warriors], as long as they fight and kill, it is possible to get feedback.
