Chapter 515
"Not really."
Li Yuezhu didn't expect this person to be so despicable. Now she represents not only herself, but also the dignity of the entire country.
If Li Yuezhu knelt down in front of everyone today, she would be a sinner for the ages.
"I didn't expect you, Bishu Kingdom, to be so fond of telling lies. After your lies were exposed, you were still so stubborn. This is the first time I've seen you!"
Li Yuezhu couldn't stand this man's arrogance, but it seemed that the others couldn't stand it for a long time.
"Why let him come? Let me see what problems you bandits can cause!"
An old man in his fifties or sixties came over. He had a perverse personality and was extremely arrogant. Even the tone of his words made Li Yuezhu feel his contempt.
Beishuo narrowed his eyes when he heard about the bandits. No one had ever dared to speak to him like this. He remembered this old man.
"Since you're so smart, I'll give you one stick of incense to solve these questions."
Because it was far away, most people didn't see the panel clearly.
Li Yuezhu looked at the piece of jade with excellent quality and felt very painful.
What a waste.
The old man stood in front of the panel. There were five questions in front of him. If the time of one stick of incense was divided equally between each question, there would be very little left.
The old man originally thought it was a question about national policy, just like their imperial examination, but he didn't expect the question to be so weird.
"One hundred steamed buns and one hundred monks. Three senior monks will have no dispute. Three junior monks will share one bun. How many buns will the young and old monks get?"
This is strange because arithmetic is not yet popular here.
"this……"
The old man then looked at the next question.
"There are chickens and rabbits in a cage today. There are thirty-five heads on top and ninety-four legs on the bottom. What are the sizes of the chickens and rabbits?"
"This, this, this..."
It would be okay if the time was long, but this time is too short. Calculation like this can always be done well as long as there is enough time.
"Use a rope to measure a well. If you fold the rope in three, the rope will be four feet longer. If you fold the rope in four, the rope will be one foot longer. How long is the rope, and how deep is the well?"
The old man was already sweating on the top of his head. Seeing that a quarter of the incense had been burned, he had no clue at all!
Again, for a question like this, if you slowly calculate and deduce it, you can finally figure it out in a day or two, but this time is too short.
"Today, one acre of good farmland is priced at 300, and seven acres of bad farmland is priced at 500. Now I will buy one hectare together. The price is 10,000. How much is the good farmland and the bad farmland?"
The old gentleman's legs were weak when he stood in front of the stage. He was not good at deduction!
"I asked Mr. Li Sangong, the owner of the store, that all the guests came to the store. There are seven guests in one room and seven guests in one room. There are nine guests in one room and one room is empty. How many rooms are there? How many guests are there?"
Beishuo seemed to have long seen through the overestimating adult.
"You can substitute someone else. No matter who can answer these five questions one by one in this stick of incense, I will consider you the winner."
Beishuo has gone too far. He said that he would answer each question one by one. Even if five people each do one question, the answers will be put together. If they can answer these questions, they will be considered to have passed the test.
But when someone confidently walks up to this piece of jade, they shake their heads and walk away after seeing this question.
Some people think they are good at deduction, but after getting pen, ink, paper and inkstone, they can't start.
Even if someone could do it, they would just make various speculations.
Many people are deducing in their minds that as long as they find the key to these problems, they will be able to solve them all. But at this moment, how many people can suddenly understand?
"The second question is about chickens and rabbits in the same cage. There are 23 chickens and 12 rabbits. Is that okay?"
Li Xingping stood up first. Ever since the red silk cloth was lifted, Lin Xingping had already noticed the words on it.
The question of "Camera Rabbit in the Same Cage" was relatively simple. He deduced it on the table with tea for a long time and finally got the result.
"This young man is smart and answered correctly, but the fragrance is already half gone. I hope you can speed up!"
Beishuo looked very proud. He had found many experts to solve this kind of problem. Although he could figure it out in the end, it took a lot of time. No one had ever solved all the problems in just one stick of incense.
of.
When all the adults saw that Lin Xingping had already answered a question, they all became more confident. They used all kinds of research, calculation and deduction, and all methods were used, but there was not much progress.
His Majesty the Emperor felt like sitting on pins and needles sitting on it. He even walked up and down in front of the dragon chair, looking at the incense in real time. The incense burned faster and faster. It only took a few minutes in total, but he became more and more anxious as he watched.
"On the topic of good land and bad land," Li Yuelan stood up respectfully. He was the number one scholar last year, and he lived up to his reputation as the number one scholar: "Ten thousand dollars bought twelve and a half acres of good land, and eighty-seven and a half acres of bad land.
, I don’t know whether it’s right or wrong to hit?”
"Hahaha! The Bishu Kingdom is indeed full of talents, but even so, there are still three questions left. I wonder who else can answer them?"
Before, there were people who had recharged their energy and walked in front of the jade, only to find that the question was beyond their ability. Now they have come back. Now it has reached a critical moment of life and death. All those who have no ability have come down, and no one dares to wade into this muddy water.
If you get the answer right, your name will be remembered forever; if you answer it wrong, you will be infamous for eternity.
"Hahahaha, no one has answered yet? Where are your talents? Where is your great country? Hahahaha, I think it's nothing more than that."
Beishuo looked very happy. Even if he answered two questions, so what? He had five questions.
"Why don't you little brat come up and take a look?"
Beishuo looked as if he had drifted away. He looked at the handsome young man with disdain.
His Majesty the Emperor stood on the stage and was secretly worried. None of these ministers were useless. They talked useless nonsense when the country was peaceful and the people were safe. They were like a flea wandering around in front of him every day. Now when the country is in crisis,
He was really disappointed that no one could stand up.
Beishuo's contemptuous eyes did not stop at Li Yuezhu. Seeing that only a quarter of the incense was left, he seemed to have a winning chance.
"The general has invited me, so I'm the one! Even though I can't even write well..."
Li Yuezhu's last words seemed like he was mumbling to himself, but everyone in the hall heard them.
Taking a pen and a piece of paper, Li Yuezhu sat on the ground regardless of his image, in the middle of the hall, moistened the brush, and began to write and draw on the paper.
It only takes less than a minute.
"There are twenty-five senior monks and seventy-five junior monks."
Li Yuezhu didn't ask if it was correct at all, and then calculated the next question. After all, she knew that asking would be in vain, it must be correct.
After all, it’s just something that can be solved with an x or a y.
"The rope is thirty-six feet long, and the shaft is eight feet long."
Li Yuezhu answered very calmly. The beard on the emperor's face trembled again and again, and his eyes were filled with hope.
"The last question, there are eight rooms in total and sixty-three guests."
After Li Yuezhu finished answering the questions, he took a look at the incense. It still had a small tip and would soon go out.
"I haven't finished lighting the incense yet. I've answered all your questions within the stipulated time. What do you think?"
Li Yuezhu was very calm. From beginning to end, she did not ask whether her questions were correct, nor did she say a word. She threw down the pen and paper, turned around and left.
