Li Shimin

Chapter 21 is called Numbers!

"..."

Unexpectedly, when she turned her head, she saw Li Er and Pei Ji, all of whom were stunned, staring blankly at the piece of paper on the table, motionless.

"Pei Gong? Your Majesty? Pei Ming Mansion?"

After a while, Li Xuan couldn't help but let out a soft cry again.

"what?"

Now, Li Er and Pei Ji came back to their senses.

At the same time, the look on Li Xuan's face was even more inexplicable and weird!

"Your Majesty, Mr. Pei, what's wrong?"

"Little master, can you calculate the final result just by writing a few times like this?"

Pei Ji couldn't believe it.

I held a counting chip on the table, racked my brains, and calculated the calculation problem that I hadn't figured out for nearly an hour. Li Xuan just wrote less than a hundred words, and calculated it easily?

"Pei Gong can do the calculations himself!"

Li Xuan smiled softly, "Such a simple calculation problem, in another year, those children in Lijiazhuang Village can also calculate it!"

Hearing this, Pei Ji was hit hard again.

Although he had faintly agreed with Li Xuan's algorithm in his heart, he still had a little extravagant hope.

Li Xuan has already calculated the final result, and it will be very simple to check it again with the calculation chip.

Therefore, within a short while, Pei Ji put down the counting chip in his hand with a look of loneliness.

He bowed his hands to Li Shimin who was watching the play, and said, "Your Majesty, my master's calculations are not bad at all!"

Then, he looked at Li Xuan with ecstasy.

"May I ask you, what kind of characters are these characters that have such miraculous functions that they can solve such difficult problems so quickly?"

At the same time, Li Shimin and Lawyer Pei also stared at Li Xuan closely.

"Pei Gong, this kind of characters are numbers, this is one, this is two, this is three..."

"This kind of characters is the most suitable number for arithmetic. The combination of the two can represent a larger number. For example, the combination of one and two is twelve, the combination of four and five is 45, one, three, six Combined, it is 130 six..."

"Such a combination, coupled with Jiujiu song, the calculation of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division is the simplest!"

After speaking, Li Xuan picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and moistened his throat.

The three of Pei Ji and Li Shimin were dumbfounded.

The three of them are all people who have passed the arithmetic. Although they still don't understand Li Xuan's explanation, they already have a general understanding in their hearts.

They never thought that there are such simple and easy-to-use numbers in the world.

If such a number is applied to government affairs, how convenient will it be?
Thinking about it, Pei Ji and Li Shimin couldn't help but look at each other.

Immediately, he turned his head and stared at Li Xuan closely.

"Little master, this kind of number is so miraculous, which great sage created it?"

"No, it was created by the kid!" Li Xuan replied calmly.

"Created by the little master?" Pei Ji looked surprised.

"Exactly!"

Li Xuan nodded again.

Although it is a bit embarrassing, in this era, he is the first to come up with numbers.

"Little master is indeed a great talent. If this figure is used in the account book, the officials in the world can save at least half of the effort!" Pei Ji said with a happy face.

"Not only that, you can use this number for everything that needs to be calculated, such as leading troops to fight, transporting supplies, building bridges and building roads..."

Li Xuan added.

"Wonderful?"

Hearing this, Pei Ji was taken aback.

At the same time, Li Shimin and Lawyer Pei also reacted.

It seems that as the little master said, there is nothing that does not need to be calculated.

"The old man is an official in the world, thank you little master for creating numbers!"

Pei Ji quickly said: "This great achievement, I will definitely report the truth to the sage, and ask the sage to bestow the grace of heaven and reward the young master!"

"This king will also report to the saint like this!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty and Mr. Pei!"

Li Xuan was unmoved in the slightest, with a calm expression on his face.

"If the sage really wants to reward the boy, please ask the king and Pei Gong to give the sage a suggestion to reward the boy with more iron and grain. If there is white flour, it would be great!"

Forehead!
Hearing this, Pei Ji couldn't help but look weird, and subconsciously glanced at Li Shimin.

In this world, it was the first time he had seen someone's gift to a saint face to face, it was so straightforward and plain!

Li Shimin also looked curious: "Dare to ask, Mr. Xiao, why do you only need ironware, grain, and white flour? For creating such a great contribution to the number, the sage will definitely reward the young master with an official position. Although he will not be a prince, he is still a county man. Can't run away!"

"The kid is lazy by nature and doesn't know how to be an official. Besides, it's too dangerous outside. It's okay for the kid to stay in a secluded mountain village like Lijiazhuang and live a leisurely life every day!"

Li Xuan shook his head lightly, with a look of indifference.

joke.

With his identity and appearance, he ran out rashly, and he didn't know how much trouble he would cause.

Moreover, there are a lot of nobles in Chang'an City now, even if they go out and accept Li Shimin's reward, they are still just a small nobleman who can only be bullied by others.

As for saying that he is Li Xuanba, Li Xuan himself doesn't believe it.Not to mention those in Chang'an City who are familiar with Li Xuanba.

Maybe, there will be a counterproductive effect at that time.

Trouble continues!

How can there be a life of nestling in Lijiazhuang, free and leisurely?
However, the only pity is that living in Lijiazhuang, there are many things that I can't make or buy by myself!

"So, please rest assured, my little master, this king will definitely propose to the saint!"

Li Xuan's tone did not seem to be fake, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly.

"Thank you king!"

"May I ask my little master, what is the use of pig iron?"

On the side, Pei Ji didn't dare to be so casual with Li Shimin, but continued to ask.

Since ancient times, salt and iron have been controlled by the imperial court.

"Pei Gong, the boy just wants to make some gadgets!"

Li Xuan explained: "For example, the iron pot, the boy only has one big iron pot and one small iron pot, which is far from enough! Even, there are kitchen knives, spoons, forks and other cooking tools, the boy is also very short."

"Also, the shovels and hoes needed for plowing the fields, these items also need to be replaced! Moreover, the boy also wants to use pig iron to build some chimneys and stoves for the winter!
in addition,……"

After speaking, Li Xuan couldn't stop.

In one breath, no less than dozens of items were mentioned.

On the other hand, Pei Ji and Li Shimin were dumbfounded.

These iron tools, I'm afraid their house doesn't have such a complete set!

"If it is used in this way, you don't have to worry about it, the sage will definitely give you enough pig iron."

He took a breath, thinking of something, Li Shimin continued: "It's just that the sage gave enough pig iron, does my little master have an iron shop to make these utensils?"

"If the young master can trust me, I will hand over these utensils to the young master. There are still a few blacksmith shops under my king's name!"

"So, Li Xuan, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Xuan's face was filled with joy, and he quickly handed over his hands to thank him!
