Ge Ce sneered sinisterly: "I've always heard that I act impartially, but I didn't expect that there are also times when I'm partial. Hey, it seems I'm too naive after all!"
Xiaoliu didn't care what others said to herself, but she couldn't bear to hear others slander Shen Yuyun.
Shen Yuyun is the person he respects the most, and his friendship is like that between Bi Chengzhi and Yan Yan.
He wasn't really annoyed when Ge Ce talked about him just now. Now when he heard that Ge Ce was pointing at Shen Yuyun, he suddenly became angry and said angrily: "Ge Ce, the bet is between you and me, so don't bother me, big brother!" "
After Xiao Liu finished speaking, he bowed respectfully to Shen Yuyun and said: "Brother, observing the sky and checking the wind and clouds are the skills of our astrology profession. Today, some colleagues challenged Xiao Liu and questioned Xiao Liu's judgment. Xiao Liu is willing to compete with each other. Only in this way can we block the situation. Stop talking to those who have ulterior motives, so that some people will not think that they are powerful enough!"
Shen Yuyun frowned and thought.
Naturally, he could tell that Ge Ce had an ulterior motive for suddenly proposing to compete with Xiao Liu, but what Xiao Liu said also made sense.
It is inevitable for colleagues to be dissatisfied with each other. If he stopped Ge Ce's provocation against Xiaoliu today, this person would definitely not give up easily and would cause countless troubles for Xiaoliu in the future.
But if he agreed to Ge Ce, he would be a little worried about Xiao Liu.
After all, they haven't walked this road many times, and Xiaoliu is not as precise as he was in the past...
Ge Ce also saw that Shen Yuyun was a little bit persuaded by Xiao Liu, and he quickly helped: "Don't worry, uncle, what Liu Lang said just now is right. We are just comparing our own abilities, and we don't want to delay the important business matters."
"Since Liu Lang said just now that this place is still more than ten miles away from Dengjiadu, your caravan will follow the itinerary predicted by Liulang, and our caravan will be formed according to the distance I calculated. When we arrive at Dengjiadu, everyone will be about one Counting the time spent walking, the length of the journey is also known. In this way, we can test our abilities without slowing down the caravan's progress."
But Shen Yuyun shook his head: "If your calculation is wrong and your caravan is delayed, you will still suffer losses. The compensation will be the employer's money. There is no small matter in business, and the matter needs to be reported to the employer for personal decision."
Regarding Duan Xingchang's caravan, Shen Yuyun did not dare to be careless at all and took the two of them directly to find Yan Yan.
When he arrived in front of Yan Yan, Shen Yuyun explained what the two people meant.
Yan Yan glanced at Xiao Liu thoughtfully and smiled lightly: "If you want to compete, fine. Leave all the goods of your caravan to the uncle and Hua Chang's caravan, and then you two can compete."
Well, keep the valuables and get out if you like!
Shen Yuyun naturally knew that Yan Yan was worried about Duan Xingchang, fearing that they would use this as an excuse to run away. However, he did not expect that Yan Yan would agree so readily.
She didn't seem to be afraid that Xiaoliu would lose at all.
Hasn’t this person never wanted to see Xiao Liu? Why is he so relieved about Xiao Liu now?
Ge Ce didn't care about this. With Yan Yan's approval, he excitedly bowed and thanked him, turned around and ran out.
As he was the only one left in front of the car, Shen Yuyun couldn't help but ask: "Why did you agree? If Xiaoliu made a mistake in his calculations, the future itinerary would fall into the hands of Ge Ce, who belongs to Duan Xingchang. "
Yan Yan looked at Xiao Liu with a smile: "Master, don't you understand the reason? Then ask Liu Lang!"
Shen Yuyun heard that there was something going on here and looked sideways at Xiao Liu.
Xiao Liu smiled a little: "What happened just now happened suddenly, and I didn't even have time to explain it to my elder brother. My boss gave me a treasure before leaving. This thing is called a constant dial."
When he mentioned the constant dial, Xiao Liu immediately beamed: "Hey, brother, you don't know, this treasure is amazing! As long as you point the origin at the sun and directly dial the scale on it, you can calculate the time and itinerary very accurately... It's comparable to the hourglass we use. It works much better with the hourglass and it’s accurate!”
After Xiao Liu finished speaking, he carefully took out a metal compass from his arms and held it up to Shen Yuyun like a treasure.
The sundial was made by Yan Yan when she first came to the world of mountains and seas. Later, she improved the sundial, replacing the broken wooden plate with a copper plate, and asked a master craftsman to carve scale stars on it. It was already very good.
Later, Canghua saw it and said that the magnet used in Yanyan was not very accurate with the geomagnetic induction of this world. He poured his own spiritual power into it to reposition the magnetic field of the constant dial accurately.
After careful debugging by the master, Yanyan's constant dial can basically accurately measure distances and hours. She also marks the thirty-day unit on it, so that the date and month can be accurately calculated, just like a manual perpetual calendar.
After the caravan set out on the road, Yan Yan and Xiao Liu learned in detail about the calculation methods he used to plan his daily itinerary, and learned that today's astrologers can already do multiplication and division arithmetic, and even know the Pythagorean theorem.
In Shenhua Kingdom, the earliest arithmetic classic "Zhou Bi Suan Jing" appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which included multiplication and division and the Pythagorean theorem.
From this point of view, it is not unusual for the human race in the mountain and sea world to have the skills in numerology.
In order to improve the safety of the caravan traders and the accurate planning of daily itineraries, she gave the constant dial to Xiaoliu and taught him how to use it.
After Xiao Liu saw the hengdial, she simply fell in love with Yan Yan.
Now in Liu Lang's heart, the person he admires the most is Shen Yiyun first, and Yan Yan is definitely second!
It’s okay not to admire her. This female boss is so capable and smart... The key is that such a powerful boss is also extremely beautiful!
After half a month of exploration and practice, Xiaoliu has mastered the use of the constant dial.
The result of practice is that the mileage calculated by the constant dial is almost exactly the same as what they actually walked!
Xiaoliu is now very confident in controlling her daily itinerary. She calculates the day's journey in the morning, and then does some calculations based on the map. No surprise, it's almost exactly the same!
The constant dial has now become Xiaoliu's lifeblood. She even cuddles up in bed at night, which is more rare than women.
Just now I heard Ge Ce challenging him, and Xiao Liu was actually playing into his heart.
I just took the opportunity to slap Ge's face hard to see if he would dare to push me harder in the future!
Shen Yuyun returned the hengdial to Xiaoliu, knowing that he knew what he was doing, so he felt relieved.
He immediately sent the order, and his own caravan and Hua Chang's caravan broke out first and rushed on their way. Duan Xingchang's caravan marched according to Ge Ce's plan.
The two caravans hurried on the road after lunch.
Only Duan Xingchang's caravan was left taking a leisurely break in the woods.
The goods had been taken away by Shen Yuyun. Besides a few carloads of guests, Pei Tong was also traveling with the caravan.
At this time, the sun was shining brightly outside, but a cool breeze was blowing in the forest, and the green shade was trailing the ground, making it especially cool.
Peitong sat on Duan Xingchang's lap and put fresh grapes into his mouth.
Duan Xingchang didn't care about the people around him, so he put his hand under Pei Tong's skirt and asked Ge Ce what to say while enjoying the beauty's kindness.
"Are you sure you're right? It's really only a few miles from here to Dengjiadu?"
Ge Ce quickly apologized and said: "The guys who explored the road are back. If Mr. Duan doesn't believe it, just ask them."
Duan Xingchang said: "The Liulang family has been the chief envoy of Si Tiantai for generations. This boy is very good at observing the sky and checking the weather. Don't make a mistake."
Ge Ce looked disdainful: "Even if he is a good observer of the sky, that thing can't calculate the distance. They haven't walked this road a few times. He probably estimated it based on experience. Hey, how can it be better than us real people running back and forth to calculate it?"
It’s accurate.”
Duan Xingchang heard what was right, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, let's rest for another half an hour to avoid the scorching sun and hit the road. This time I will slap my face hard, hehe..."
