Chapter 16: Wang Xiaotong's Shock (Happy Women's Day!)
Hearing Kong Yingda's roar, Fang Yiai shuddered and almost fell off the eaves.
Then Fang Yiai climbed down along the pillar in a few swishes, as if avoiding a cat and mouse.
Judging from his familiarity, it is obvious that he has climbed rooms and walls at home.
"Fang Yiai, come here! The school is a place for learning. You have been studying in the school for so long and have not made any progress at all. How dare you climb into the room? I hope I don't smash the palms of your hands today!"
Seeing Kong Yingda's angry look, Fang Yiai was so frightened that he could not help but point at Li Min and said: "Master, the reason why the student climbed into the room was all because of a bet with His Highness the Sixth Prince. Master only beats the student himself, the student
Not convinced!"
Kong Yingda shouted loudly and said: "Okay, I dare to make a bet. I am turning against you! Li Min, come here and smack palms with Fang Yiai."
Hearing that Li Min wanted to follow suit, the schoolchildren around Li Tai couldn't help showing gloating on their faces.
Cheng Chuliang opened his mouth to plead for Li Min, but in the end he closed his mouth angrily.
He was not welcomed by the Master at all, and his plea would only add fuel to the fire.
I saw Li Min walking up to the Master calmly, bowing to the Master and saying: "So that the Master will know that the student did not make a bet with Fang Yiai. The student only said that two stones, one big and one small, came from
Falling from the same height at the same time will eventually hit the ground at the same time. If Fang Yiai doesn’t believe it, he has to climb to the eaves to do the experiment, which has nothing to do with the students.”
Kong Yingda couldn't help but said angrily: "If it wasn't your problem, would Fang Yiai climb into the house? It's clearly related to you, but you still dare to deny it!"
Li Min asked calmly: "May I ask Master, if someone kills someone with a kitchen knife, will the government punish the vendor who sells the kitchen knife?"
"this--"
When Kong Yingda heard Li Min's question, he couldn't answer it.
Obviously, the seller of kitchen knives cannot be punished.
Then, for the same reason, he couldn't hit Li Min's palm.
But, are these two things the same thing?
Vaguely, Kong Yingda always felt that something was wrong, but it was difficult to think clearly for a while.
As a result, Kong Yingda became even more angry.
She said fiercely to Fang Yiai: "Stretch out your hand!"
Fang Yiai stretched out her little hand tremblingly, her pretty face turned into a frown.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Li Min felt pain when he heard it, so he quickly walked away quietly.
After two cups of tea, the snapping sound disappeared.
Mrs. Kong Yingda was very tired and left panting.
Fang Yiai walked into the school building twitching. Her little hands had been swollen into pig's trotters. Looking at it, the swelling would definitely not go away in ten and a half months.
Behind the school building, the panting Kong Yingda and Confucius couldn't help but stop.
Because he thought of a question, it was clear that Li Min was talking nonsense just now.
Two stones, one big and one small, fell at the same time from the same height. The big stone obviously hit the ground first. How could they fall to the ground at the same time?
Then, Kong Yingda couldn't help but pick up two stones from the side, raised them to his chest, and let go at the same time.
Snapped!
Um?
Kong Yingda's pupils shrank slightly, and his mind was filled with doubts.
How is it possible for them to land at the same time?
So Kong Yingda couldn't help but pick up the two stones from the ground, then raised them high to his head and let go at the same time.
Snapped!
Kong Yingda, who had his mouth wide open and a look of shock on his face, now somewhat understood why Fang Yiai climbed into the house.
Then, when Kong Yingda raised her head, she saw Wang Xiaotong, the arithmetic professor, standing in front, looking at him in shock.
It's over. Wang Xiaotong must have noticed what he did just now by holding up two stones.
Is it too embarrassing? Is it too embarrassing?
My whole life’s reputation has been ruined!
I was harmed by that boy Li Min!
However, after all, Jiang is always hot, and Kong Yingda soon came up with an idea.
Kong Yingda walked to Wang Xiaotong as if nothing had happened and couldn't help but ask: "Professor Wang, I have a question for you. If two stones, one large and one small, fall freely at the same height at the same time, which stone will hit the ground first?"
Wang Xiaotong said with a strange expression: "Of course they landed at the same time!"
Kong Yingda couldn't help looking at Wang Xiaotong in stunned silence and asked, "How do you know? Did that boy Li Min tell you the answer?"
Wang Xiaotong felt that the old man Kong Yingda was very weird today and always said some incomprehensible things.
Wang Xiaotong still had to go to class, so he said a few words to Kong Yingda and walked towards the school building.
But while walking on the road, Wang Xiaotong came to his senses.
Just now the old man Kong Yingda said, is it that boy Li Min who told me the answer?
Does Li Min also know the correct answer to this question?
This question was discovered by me accidentally. How could he possibly know the answer?
For a time, Wang Xiaotong couldn't help but become extremely curious about Li Min.
Not long after, Wang Xiaotong came to the school building and began to teach the students about arithmetic.
Wang Xiaotong was a famous mathematician in the Tang Dynasty. He compiled the Ancient Arithmetic Classic, which later became the arithmetic textbook of the Imperial Academy of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, Wang Xiaotong has not yet compiled this book, and his theoretical level has not yet reached the height it later reached.
After finishing the class, Wang Xiaotong suddenly wanted to test Li Min, so he gave all the students a relatively complicated arithmetic problem.
In fact, it's not that difficult, it's just extremely cumbersome.
The question is, one plus two plus three adds up to one hundred, what is the answer?
After Wang Xiaotong finished the question, all the other students except Li Min quickly started calculating with their pens.
Only Li Min stood on the ground with both hands and squatted half down.
It turned out that my legs were numb after sitting on my knees for a long time.
Wang Xiaotong walked up to Li Min and asked, "Your Highness, everyone else is solving the problem, why didn't Your Highness solve the problem?"
Li Min couldn't help but stood up and replied: "Sir, the student has already calculated the result."
Wang Xiaotong asked in surprise: "Oh? What do you think the result is?"
Li Min said calmly: "Five thousand and fifty."
Um?
Did it really work out?
But, how is this possible?
How could he calculate it in such a short time?
Wang Xiaotong couldn't help but asked curiously: "Have you calculated this problem before?"
Li Min said calmly: "No, but this question actually has a simple calculation method. One plus one hundred equals one hundred and one, two plus ninety-nine equals one hundred and one, and three plus ninety-eight equals
One hundred and one, fifty plus fifty-one equals one hundred and one. There are fifty one hundred and one in total. After multiplying, we can get the final result, five thousand and fifty."
Wang Xiaotong couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Li Min's algorithm.
Li Min's algorithm is actually a sequence algorithm.
There is actually a similar algorithm in Jiu Zhang Arithmetic, but it is relatively advanced knowledge, and Wang Xiaotong has not yet taught it to this point.
He was very surprised how Li Min knew this method.
