Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Eighth Daizhai Chang, who presides over the project
If Lu Sanlang further awakened his arithmetic talent in Cuiyun, and transformed from a wandering boy into a genius praised by the emperor, then Zhang Chen's years in the mountains were so tortured that he could not bear to look back. And when he followed
After Daliu went to Jiuzhang Hall to observe a class, he became even more certain of that conclusion.
That thing is in conflict with me!
At this moment, when Zhang Chen bravely stepped into Jiuzhang Hall, he was already prepared to be ridiculed by the low-born supervisors. He had heard that Lu Sanlang, the chief of the prison, had been accepting overt and covert remarks since he took office.
After facing the challenge, he finally secured his position as the chief of the restaurant. He, the chief of the Banshan Hall, suddenly came over. Even with Zhang Shou's orders, it would be strange if people didn't keep an eye on him!
However, when he entered the door, he found that no one looked up at all, let alone noticed him as an uninvited guest. Everyone was immersed in writing, some were fiddling with the abacus, some were pinching their fingers, and some were mumbling... It was so quiet
The scene came into view. Compared with the noise and laziness of everyone at the end of class in the past, he couldn't help but feel a little dazzling.
He cleared his throat subconsciously, but even so, no one looked up to pay attention to him. Being ignored, he finally couldn't help it anymore and moved to sit next to a prisoner in the first row, intending to read what he had written.
What is it? But when he found that there were symbols on the paper that he didn't understand at all, as well as a long series of numbers, his scalp went numb.
The first person was like this, the second, third, and fourth were still like this... After walking around more than 20 people in the huge room, Zhang Chen was stunned and didn't understand what these people were using.
There was a way to crack the fourteen-ring text lock, but his head hurt a little. He couldn't help but rub his temples gently, and his mood was indescribably complicated.
He is not interested in the Four Books and Five Classics, and he does not seem to be good at arithmetic. He cannot compare with his grandfather who is outstanding in strategy, and he cannot compare with his father who is obsessed with reading. Is he going to be the Duke of Qin who is waiting to die in the future?
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Zhang Shou once said in front of the traitor Ding Hai that he had an excessive sense of justice. He also said that he had the potential to be a leader. He couldn't help but blush a little.
Since he found that he had nothing to do, Zhang Chen, who was bored, simply found an empty seat at the back and took a seat, scanning the shabby-dressed supervisors in front of him one by one. Of course, there are talents among the famous children, and these people either passed through Enyin.
, or become officials through the imperial examination, and now many have established a firm foothold in the court. Among them, the children of officials are much stronger than the children of nobles.
For example, Lu Sanlang's two brothers, no matter what their character is, they are both very good at studying. One is only thirty years old, and he was on the gold medal list in last year's palace examination, and the other is said to be a favorite in next year's provincial examination... In comparison, as long as he is a little more outstanding,
, there are indeed many opportunities for children from famous families, and children from poor families can still take the exam if they are outstanding in literary talent, but if they are just proficient in arithmetic...
Jiuzhangtang may be the last hope for these people, right?
While he was thinking wildly, Zhang Chen suddenly heard a shout of surprise: "The first three words of this sentence actually match the thirty-fourth set of numbers among the sixty-four sets!"
In an instant, he saw a group of people who had been immersed in calculations just now raising their heads. And he unconsciously looked towards the place where the voice came from, and saw that the person shouting was a middle-aged prison student. His face was full of vicissitudes of life, and he
At a glance, you can’t even tell how old this person is!
Even if you say you are thirty, you can be forty... You can even believe it if you say fifty or sixty!
Zhang Chen didn't know the specific algorithm, but he knew that with Zhang Shou's temper, unless it was an exam, he would not easily interrupt a class to check here. Therefore, after the initial surprise,
, after all, he had been trained in Cuiyun Room for a period of time and he immediately said decisively: "Give this sentence that you think matches to others and check it first!"
He was not the chief of Jiuzhang Hall, so his words originally did not have much power, but what surprised him was that no one questioned his lack of qualifications to give orders at this moment. The middle-aged supervisor who spoke only hesitated for a moment, and then sat down to write.
He quickly wrote a note, and then the note was circulated among more than twenty people. Immediately afterwards, the room became quiet again.
Unsure whether he should stay here or go to the Banshan Hall to report a message to Zhang Shou, Zhang Chen hesitated again and again, but finally did not move. He didn't know how long it had passed before he heard a voice: "It's been verified."
, this sentence really matches!"
"The calculation is correct!"
"The calculation is correct!"
The voices sounded one after another. Zhang Chen was a fool, and he knew that there might be a result. He was not Qi Liang and Lu Sanlang, and he didn't know the specific algorithm, but he still knew what the fourteen-ring text lock was about.
, so after pondering for a moment, he said bluntly: "Since you have found that poem, how can you deduce it based on this?"
As soon as these words came out, Yan Fang, who was surprised to announce his victory at first, couldn't help but glance at Zhang Chen again. Unlike those students who at least tried to make friends with other supervisors and planned to expand their network, he was actually acquainted with each other.
To discredit him, no one outside Jiuzhangtang knew him, so he had no idea who Zhang Chen was.
But at this time, he agreed: "Then let's work backwards. Everyone should have deduced that function. In this way, it is easy to deduce the remaining four words!"
Thinking that he had told Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu before that the fourteen-ring text lock could not be opened easily, Zhang Chen couldn't help but feel guilty. But then, he suddenly thought of an important point, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked: "
Why can I only infer four words?"
"This sentence is a seven-character poem, and the next sentence is not written with characters in the Thousand-Character Classic, so I can only deduce seven characters."
Only then did Zhang Chen realize that he had made a joke. He nodded quickly and said, "Okay, let's deduce it based on this seven-character poem."
When he saw that the other people looked at each other and there was no sound of ridicule or objection, and really started to deduce this according to his instructions, he hesitated for a moment and still did not leave.
He wanted to see if sutra calculation was really that powerful, and if these people were really that good, able to easily unlock the fourteen-ring text lock that others were helpless... But after hearing what he just said, he could only deduce
The text of the first seven rings?
Zhang Chen didn't wait too long. He even felt that time had not passed. He just listened to the middle-aged supervisor who was the first to speak in the corner and then echoed his decision. He stood up in a hurry, and then solemnly held out the piece of paper in his hand.
The matter was handed over to him. After this beginning, people stood up one after another and came to him to hand over pieces of paper full of words.
He couldn't understand the calculations on every piece of paper, but he couldn't understand the first sentence no matter what.
That is a famous line from Li Bai's "Shang Li Yong" - Xuan's father is still afraid of his descendants. Of course, the latter sentence is that a husband should not be more famous when he is young, but it is not on the paper.
Zhang Chen didn't have time to think too much and said bluntly: "You guys wait a moment, I will report it to the teacher right now!"
As soon as he left, the Jiuzhang Hall that had been quiet just now started to become noisy. Yan Fang, who was relieved, rubbed his swollen and painful forehead and suddenly said: "He won't use things to pretend to be his own credit, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sneer from the side: "Brother Yan, it's a good thing you didn't say this in front of others, otherwise you would have been drowned by the saliva of this Duke of Qin! That is the chief of the Banshan Hall, a famous person in the capital.
The top noble young master was the most rebellious person in the past! That is to say, our teacher can suppress him, and no one else can do it. Such a noble man, he will covet such a small amount of credit?"
Yan Fang saw that some of the other people around him smiled kindly, some curled their lips sarcastically, and others were thankful for him that he didn't say anything just now. He had the best luck before, and happened to get this poem, so he was the first to take the number.
His face was red and he was speechless.
I don't know how many people he offended when he was working as a bookkeeper because of his quick-tongued but suspicious temper...
But Zhang Chen didn't know that he was actually considered to be taking credit. He trotted all the way to the Banshan Hall and saw Zhang Shou instructing a group of students to do triboelectric experiments. The third prince and the fourth prince were having a great time.
Zhang Shou stood by with a smile on his face and happened to be idle, so he quickly walked around.
When he reached Zhang Shou's side, he noticed that the man turned around and looked over.
"Teacher, they said this sentence is correct..."
Before Zhang Chen could finish his explanation, Zhang Shou waved his hand to stop, and took the note and scanned the ten lines. However, unlike Zhang Chen who only noticed the sentence "The father of fathers can still be afraid of future generations", he saw the nonlinear line behind it.
Quadratic function.
f(x)=x^2+3x+3
The original clear text is that Xuanfu is still afraid of future generations, and the corresponding numbers are 601, 242, 349, 174, 788, 866, and 42.
After the shift, the intervals are 7, 13, 21, 31, 43, 57, 73. The corresponding first seven characters of the cipher text are Qing, Jin, Ci, Ke, Wei, Lun, and Li.
He had long remembered the fifty-six characters of the fourteen-ring text lock clearly. At this moment, just by looking at it, he knew that these seven characters were indeed the characters on the one to seven-ring character dials.
Therefore, after squinting his eyes slightly, he took out another piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Chen casually: "Go to Jiuzhangtang, dip your brush in water and write these sixty-four sets of numbers according to the instructions I gave you.
Write it in a format and let them try to deduce the second half of the sentence in the same way."
When Zhang Chen was startled and immediately ran out, Zhang Shou glanced at everyone in the Banshan Hall and saw that except for the third prince and the fourth prince who were young and ignorant, most people were looking at him, but he deliberately said nothing as if nothing had happened.
Don’t mention it.
If all fourteen characters can be solved, then it is a success, otherwise it is just talk on paper.
Having said that, all the more than a hundred disciples of Guijie were surprised to hear that the "project" at Jiuzhangtang had actually made progress. This was different from the previous legend that Zhang Shou personally unlocked the so-called secret message at Shuntian Mansion Office.
, this time Zhang Shou did not go into battle personally, but only relied on a group of rookie supervisors who had just been admitted to Jiuzhang Hall!
