Wang Jie and Deng Xiaodai made a special trip to see the papers delivered to them before. Zhang Shou took a moment to quickly flip through them and already roughly understood the level of most people. As for plagiarists with similar test papers, he didn't care. After all,
There is an interview, a powerful tool that can reveal the true level of a person in just a few words. Why are you afraid of plagiarism?
Therefore, on his interview list, those with similar test papers were naturally placed at the front of the interview sequence. So, when the first young man with an imposing manner and a talented face, and who was obviously extremely confident in his appearance, held his head high,
When he walked in, he faced the extremely perfunctory bow, but just nodded calmly and gently.
"Within ten breaths, quickly calculate the sum of hundreds from one to one hundred."
Without waiting for any objection from the other party, he read slowly: "Ten, nine, eight..."
The first person to come in was the handsome scholar who was immediately shocked. He had memorized the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic by his memory, but now Zhang Shou didn't even ask him questions such as which chapter of the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic he had recited, and just went straight to the exam.
Got a problem?
This is slightly similar to the first complex multiplication question on the test paper. Although it is addition and not multiplication, the numbers are more. If he is given enough time, he can still calculate from one to one hundred, but Zhang Shou can
It was required to be within ten breaths! Seeing that the countdown was approaching three o'clock, he immediately shouted in a hurry: "This is not fair!"
Seeing that Zhang Shou ignored him and continued to count, he was even more angry: "How can it be possible to calculate such a complicated question in only ten breaths of time..."
The next moment, Zhang Shou's countdown stopped, but Lu Sanlang, who was standing next to Zhang Shou, sneered and said: "Ten breaths of time? I can give you the accurate answer of adding one to a thousand in less than three breaths of time."
!Don’t make excuses if you are stupid, don’t waste the teacher’s precious time!”
The handsome scholar was shocked and angry: "How come this question is not complicated? If you haven't done it before, how could you possibly solve it?"
"Isn't it interesting to think that others can't do it if you can't do it yourself?" Lu Sanlang had actually long recognized that the other party was Zhao Ying, the talented and handsome minister of the Ministry of War, whom his father often used to attack him, but at this time he deliberately pretended to be
He didn't know him, but he smiled calmly, "If you don't believe me, you can try to give me a question. Within four digits, whether you add from one to a few, I can calculate the answer for you as quickly as possible!"
Zhao Ying couldn't believe it, and immediately shouted angrily: "Add from one to two thousand, do you know the answer?"
"2001000, if you don't believe me, just add the numbers rigidly one by one. Don't make excuses if you are stupid!"
Zhao Ying couldn't bear it anymore after being scolded twice by the fat man whom he had looked down on twice in a row. He couldn't bear it any more and was furious: "Lu Sanfatty, stop putting on such a stinky air for me. I
I don’t believe you can become a genius after just a few days of studying with others..."
At this moment, Zhang Shou interrupted calmly: "Lu Zhu was praised by the emperor as a genius who turned back his prodigal son. Do you think the emperor has seen the wrong person?"
Seeing the other person's face suddenly turn red, he smiled suddenly and said: "Looking at your test paper, two of the three questions were answered well, but now you can't even answer such an extremely simple question.
If you don’t come up, it’s not in line with your test score. Since you think this question is difficult, let me ask you again, 998-33-67-22-78-46-54, what is the result?”
Lu Sanlang looked gloatingly at the handsome face opposite him that looked a little deformed due to intense calculations, and he was so relieved. In his father's eyes, he only wished that a guy who was not his son had a pretty good one.
Face, and the sour poems that can deceive a few girls. Now that the true colors are exposed, what is left?
Look at the busy look now, it's obvious that the paper was done badly before! This guy obviously has a bad character!
After more than ten breaths, he saw that people were already sweating on his forehead. Zhang Shou suddenly knocked on the armrest twice and said calmly: "I didn't even touch the edge of simple calculations. The fifty numbers on the previous test paper were multiplied together."
As for the question, I won’t ask you whether you calculated the numbers one by one or hired someone to calculate them together. Okay, you can leave."
When Lu Sanlang saw Zhao Ying's sudden change of expression, he seized the opportunity and immediately said proudly: "Now that you can't answer such a simple question, and you are so stupid and don't know how to adapt, why should you learn arithmetic? No need to forget it, 698,
I'll tell you the answer directly, so don't make excuses if you're stupid. Someone, please call the next person in quickly!"
Hearing the door suddenly open, two guards in black coughed heavily, and Zhao Ying turned around and walked away angrily. But as soon as he walked out of the door, he heard Lu Sanlang behind him.
There was a clamor.
"If he hadn't come to take the Jiuzhangtang exam, this talented person could still continue to be a talented person. Now that he is here, I can see the true face of this talented person clearly! I will ask my dad later. Cats and dogs are all called talented people. This talented person in the capital city
It’s too worthless! What’s the point of just having a face and reciting a few sour poems? Can he be more handsome than Mr. Xiao? Can his poems be better than those of Emperor Taizu?”
The handsome young master Zhao Ying almost staggered when he went out in a hurry. In his heart, he scolded the elders in his family who had persuaded him to take the Jiuzhangtang exam. If they hadn't hoped to please the emperor, how could he have been humiliated!
After one, there was the second, then the third. Zhang Shou met the first three people with the same test papers, but all of them came in arrogantly, and then retreated and left after being tested by a series of simple math questions.
At that time, they all acted as if they had been treated unfairly, and it was only after Lu Sanlang was rude and sarcastic that he left in embarrassment.
After interviewing three people at once, Zhang Shou turned his head and glanced at Deng Xiaodai, who was immersed in taking shorthand in the middle of the room, and then said: "Xiaodai, let the guard take out what you wrote down.
If the three of them haven't left yet, let them know. If they are not convinced, I can post their questions and answers at the entrance of the Shuntian Mansion Office or the Imperial College."
"By the way, let's also tell Wang Dayin in the second hall."
When Wang Jie saw the officer coming back with the ink-stained writing paper and heard what Zhang Shou said, he glanced at the other people who were trying their best to stay calm and waited for the interview, and said coldly: "If you do it during the interview,
If you feel there is something unfair, you can raise it in person, but if you can't argue with it in person and talk nonsense behind your back, let alone posting papers, don't blame me for being rude."
At the gate of the Shuntian government office, the three people who failed the interview were indeed still angry and refused to leave. However, when the government officials chased them out and conveyed the words of Zhang Shou and Wang Jie, even Zhao Ying, who was just about to curse, saw the answer
Record, and immediately shut up.
Being called a fool by Lu Sanlang is hard to bear, but if the matter is publicized to the whole city, and the emperor and even other high-ranking officials call him a fool, then he will really lose more than he gains!
So, when the other two people swallowed their anger, even if he was about to burst with anger, he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it.
When Zhang Shou saw the fourth person coming in, he couldn't help but sighed secretly when he compared the names on the papers. The four papers were similar, and it was inevitable that three people had copied them. Now three of them have been copied.
Confirmed to be a scumbag in science, there is no doubt that the remaining one should be the person who actually solved the two questions. And the Yan Fang in front of him is someone he recognizes.
When he followed Zhu Ying to Beijing for the first time, he met him in front of Ge Yong Gate and gave him a book. And it was this person who was the first to admit in tears that he was instigated to cause trouble.
The remaining people had to hide their faces and retreat, and the incident of blocking the door finally came to an end. According to Chu Kuan, this man worked as an accountant for many businessmen but was kicked out. Now he makes a living by writing letters.
Different from the last time I saw Shang, who was dressed decently, now Yan Fang was wearing cloth clothes that had been washed to a slightly white color, and his cloth shoes were even patched. At first glance, he looked quite neat. He bowed his head a little awkwardly.
He saluted and then stood silently.
Zhang Shou looked at the person for a moment and then asked straight to the point: "Have you ever seen this paper before it was sent to the Shuntian government office?"
Yan Fang's face suddenly turned pale. After a long while, he lowered his head in pain: "After I finished answering, I wanted to send it to the government office immediately, but my neighbor happened to be visiting, and he and I went out to do some errands.
When I came back, the paper was gone... I had no choice but to answer it again. If it was because someone stole my paper and copied it, and therefore I was judged ineligible, I would have no choice but to admit it."
Zhang Shou stared at Yan Fang for a long time, and finally asked Lu Sanlang casually: "Lu Zhu, you are the future chief of Jiuzhang Hall, tell me, what should I do?"
Lu Sanlang did not expect that Zhang Shou would ask his opinion. After a moment of confusion, he felt that he had been taken seriously, so he held his head high and asked without thinking: "I ask you, from one to a thousand, what is the answer?"
?”
Yan Fang didn't expect Lu Sanlang to ask this suddenly. After hesitating for a moment, he calmly answered: "500,500."
After interviewing three idiots in succession, Lu Sanlang finally met someone smart enough. He was immediately very satisfied, and then asked: "There are ninety-three lights hung on the five-story tower, from top to bottom, next to bottom."
The lights on each floor are twice as many as the lights on the previous floor. Let me ask you, how many lights are hung on each floor?"
"At the top are three lamps, followed by six, twelve, twenty-four, and forty-eight lamps."
Faced with this almost automatic answer, Lu Sanlang's satisfaction suddenly turned into surprise.
He simply took out the pursuit problems, pool problems and other difficult questions that Zhang Shou had used to question him in the past. He went from easy to difficult questions until the other party finally became silent, and he finally stopped temporarily with satisfaction.
"Little sir, I don't know if this person is selling his answer sheets, but his arithmetic skills are still very good. He will be admitted to Jiuzhang Hall for the time being. If we find that he has any mistakes in other matters in the future, we will not expel him.
Late!"
Yan Fang was almost sweating profusely when he was asked by Lu Sanlang, and he was immediately extremely wary of this fat noble man.
This is the first time he has encountered someone who can test people with more than a dozen strange questions at once, many of which are not questions found in classic arithmetic books!
Hearing what Lu Sanlang said, Zhang Shou smiled and said: "Since you, the chief of the village, have the confidence to manage people, then take it! Are you talented but not moral? I'll see you Zhenzhang in the future!"
