Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 373 Li Chunfeng's Grandson Li Mingda Feitian

The crooked student came to Di Renjie confidently. He wanted to see what kind of questions these little devils could come up with, but confidence was worth recommending.

But when the crooked student saw the topic, he was dumbfounded.

One hundred Wen, bring 100 chickens the next day.It is also stipulated that among the 100 chickens, there must be roosters, hens and chicks, and there must be no more or less, and it must be exactly one hundred yuan and one hundred chickens.

买1只公鸡5文钱，买1只母鸡3文钱，买3只小鸡才1文钱。怎样才能凑成百钱百鸡呢？
"This!"

The crooked scholar was stunned, because it was too difficult, he had never seen such a topic before.

Looking at the dumbfounded scholar with a crooked mouth, Li Mingda on the side smiled and said, "How about it? Crooked mouth. You didn't read "Zhushu" when you were three years old, and "Nine Chapters" when you were five years old. How about this question? Whether you know it or not, if you know it, tell us, don’t give us face, as long as you can solve it correctly, we will give you a thousand pens, and we will do what we say.”

"Ah!" The crooked scholar was a little speechless.

"Senior brother Liu, solve the problem, these little guys are too crazy."

"That's right, Senior Brother Liu, teach these little guys a lesson."

"Senior Brother Liu, you have won a thousand coins and invited us to Pingkang Fang for a drink!"

Soon, other Guozijian students also cheered up the crooked scholar, but these encouragements made the crooked scholar feel unprecedented embarrassment. You must know that this crooked scholar's arithmetic is in this huge Imperial College, at least Can be ranked in the top thirty.

This scholar named Liu Yi has a different talent for arithmetic since he was a child. It only takes a few minutes for other children to calculate problems that take an hour.

Because of this, he is very confident in his arithmetic.

But today, he stumbled before this hundred-chicken problem, because this one-hundred-chicken problem was beyond his cognition, and the methods he had learned to solve the problems were completely useless before this one-hundred-chicken problem.

"You don't have much time!" Li Mingda proudly showed a delicate watch on his wrist.

This watch is for women, originally it belonged to Yueying, but in the end it was given to Li Mingda. Li Mingda liked this watch very much, and once showed it off in front of Gao Yang.

Gao Yang was so angry that he left the palace without even eating.

"Watch...!" The students of the Imperial College also showed a collective expression of surprise when they saw the watch in Li Mingda's hand.

You must know that this watch is in Chang'an, but many people want to get it now, but it is a good thing that they can't get no matter how much money they spend. There is only one watch in the entire Imperial College, and it is in the hands of Kong Yingda, who is offering wine.

Kong Yingda used the watch in his hand to divide the original twelve hours into twelve hours, and used the time more efficiently, and Kong Yingda cherished this watch to the bone.

A person who can own a watch is definitely a noble person.

"whee.!"

Li Mingda smiled complacently. You must know that the previous Li Mingda was not of such a temperament. The previous Li Mingda was always gentle and kind to others because of his illness. Well, I also developed a little problem of showing off.

This may be the bad habit of many girls being spoiled.

However, Li Shimin really likes to see his daughter like this, because Li Shimin thinks she is very cute. It was good for her son to be considerate in the past, but now her son is not only understanding but also cute, which is even better.

"This watch of mine is very accurate. Look at it and it's been 10 minutes, and you still can't answer it with your crooked mouth. In my opinion, you'd better quit it. Don't delay others from earning a thousand pennies."

"You!" Li Mingda's words left Liu Yi speechless and dissatisfied in his heart, so Liu Yi looked at Li Mingda and said: "I don't agree, this question is completely unsolvable, you are deliberately taking unsolvable questions Give us an answer!"

"Oh!" Li Mingda grinned: "I knew you would say that. In this way, we will sell the answer here, ten copies. If you want to read the answer, give us ten dollars, and we will sell it to you."

"Then you are not afraid, I bought the answer, told others, and then I will earn your [-] coins?" Liu Yi looked at Li Mingda and asked.

"Not afraid!" Li Mingda shook the watch in his hand: "If you dare to do this, you are betting on your future future. Are you willing to exchange a thousand pennies for your future future?"

Liu Yi was taken aback. It is true that a little girl can wear a watch at this time and know that the other party is a noble person without guessing. Playing with the other party's mind is tantamount to courting death. You must know that the students of the Imperial College will have a good future in the future.

It is really not worthwhile to gamble on your own future for the sake of a thousand pennies.

"Shiguan. I'll buy it!" Liu Yi looked at Li Mingda cruelly, because if he didn't know the answer, Liu Yi would definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

"Oh, that's great.!" Li Mingda quickly showed a cute expression, then handed over a note and said, "The answer is in it. How do you want to pay, Shiguan?"

Liu Yi went back in a hurry, came back with ten pennies, and put it in front of Li Mingda. For a moment, Li Mingda's small eyes narrowed happily. .

Sure enough, what my fifth brother said was right, knowledge is priceless, indeed very valuable.

After getting the answer, Liu Yi came to a place where no one was there. He didn't dare to show the answer to others. His own future was very important. After opening the answer, he saw that it read:

4只公鸡值20文钱， 3只小鸡值1文钱，合起来鸡数是7 ，钱数是21 ；而7只母鸡呢，鸡数是7 ，钱数也是21 。如果少买7只母鸡，就可以用这笔钱多买4只公鸡和3只小鸡。

In this way, a hundred chickens are still a hundred chickens, and a hundred coins are still a hundred coins.

The answer did not use the method of indeterminate equations. I was worried that the other party would not accept it. I used an understandable trick.

After reading it, Liu Yi had nothing to say, this was not someone else's problem, but his own problem, a bitterness, Liu Yi left here, only Liu Yi left, but Li Mingda's business improved.

Later, students from the Imperial College continued to challenge this question, but this question was really too difficult.

And after I can't do it, I really want to know the answer. If I don't know the answer today, I may not be able to sleep well today, so there are many people who come to see the question. After reading the question, the people who line up to buy the question will change too much.

Later, because of the large number of people, Li Mingda had no choice but to join in the task of writing the answers, and once Li Mingda wrote it in Feibai, he would be recognized by those Imperial College scholars who were belatedly aware of it later.

"Oh my God!"

At this time, Li Mingda was very happy. The money in front of him had been piled up like a hill. After a rough calculation, there should be three or four thousand pennies here. The students here are really rich.

What made Li Mingda speechless was that although he made thousands of dollars, the students here were too stupid to solve the chicken problem. If he couldn't solve it, how could she draw out the following words?

Fortunately, just when Li Mingda was worried, a boy about 14 years old finally came from the direction of the dormitory of the Imperial College. With a kind smile.

After Li Mingda saw it, he showed a slight expression of appreciation.

When he walked in front of Li Mingda, Li Mingda smiled and asked: "Do you want to answer the questions too?"

The boy nodded: "Can you?"

"Of course.!" Li Mingda handed the question to the young man, who took a look. After about 5 minutes, the young man replied: "There are 4 roosters, 18 hens, and 78 chicks. There are 8 roosters and 11 hens. 81 chickens, 12 chicks.! 4 roosters, 84 hens, [-] chicks.!"

"Hiss!" After the boy finished speaking, Li Mingda and others were collectively surprised.

The three kinds of answers were actually given out casually, which shows that this young man is much better at arithmetic than Di Renjie.

"A thousand pens are yours!" Li Mingda smiled slightly and pointed to the money next to him.

"Really? Thank you!" The young man showed a happy expression. It seems that this thousand words is also one of the reasons why he came to answer the question!

"Can you tell me your name?" Li Mingda looked at the other party with a pair of lovely big eyes and asked.

"My name is Li Xianzong!"

"Li Xianzong is a nice name." Li Mingda grinned.

Just when Li Xianzong was about to take the money, suddenly, Li Mingda on the side asked: "Li Xianzong, do you believe that there is something that can carry people to the sky?"

This topic made Li Xianzong, who was about to take the money, startled slightly, and then stopped after reaching out to the money, and then heard Li Xianzong sigh: "Impossible!"

Li Mingda looked at what Li Xianzong said so decisively, and was slightly taken aback in his heart.

What Li Mingda didn't know was that the Li Xianzong in front of him was the grandson of Li Chunfeng, the Taishi Ling of the Tang Dynasty. Li Xianzong had been interested in many Taoist stories since he was a child, especially the story of Feitian.

According to historical records, Lu Ban, a famous craftsman in the State of Lu, was deeply inspired when he saw a hawk circling in the sky.

He once imagined that he could make a big kite so that people could fly into the sky, and Li Xianzong really did such a thing when he was ten years old.

It's just that the process is already obvious. Li Xianzong, who had no modern knowledge at all, failed, not only failed, but also broke a leg. Fortunately, he was still young at that time, and his bones could grow again.

However, Li Xianzong later questioned Feitian, which was also due to Li Xianzong's father. Although Li Xianzong's father was Li Chunfeng's son, Li Xianzong's father was very suspicious of what his father did.

Li Chunfeng didn't have a good relationship with his son, but had a better relationship with his grandson, but his son didn't let his grandson learn from his grandfather, especially after Li Xianzong jumped off the roof of his house with a kite on his back.

But just after Li Xianzong categorically stated that it was impossible, Li Mingda on the side suddenly laughed loudly: "Do you also think it is impossible?"
