"One, one, two, one?" Great Military Advisor Meng Yi's face instantly turned the color of a pig's liver. Left with no choice, Great Military Advisor Meng Yi furiously recited the multiplication formula again before giving up.
Therefore, on the same night, the West Street of Jizhou was full of rumors about Meng Yi's one-to-one equaling to one. Meng Yi's Fourth Master regained his composure.
The twenty people Jian Yong had found were all focused on reciting the multiplication formula of Great Military Advisor Meng Yi.
Only the eldest young master Ju Hu went home to find Qiushou and complained. He then showed Qiushou the Fourth Master Meng Yi's multiplication formula. If it was someone else, Qiushou might not have minded. However, after Qiushou witnessed the terror of the Great Military Advisor Meng Yi, he did not dare to look at him anymore.
Therefore, Jushou read according to Ju Hu's instructions. One by one, he got one, one by two, two by two, four by nine by eighty-one. Jushou was more and more shocked. Mathematics in this era was still called mathematics. Although the Four Books and Five Classics and the Analects of Confucius were the most important books, mathematics was just as important. Collecting taxes, leading troops, and mobilizing grain and fodder all required mathematics. There were also some relatively large accounts that could not be done if one was not proficient in mathematics.
"Hu 'er, let me ask you, how much is three sevens?"
"Three, seven, twenty-one!"
Ju Hu blurted out. Only then did he realize that something was wrong. Usually, he could also calculate it, but it wasn't so fast and he blurted it out.
" This chant seems simple, but it contains the essence of mathematics. This Meng Yi appears to be indulgent on the surface, but he is actually hiding a military strategy. He is wise but appears foolish. You must not underestimate him," Ju Shou said solemnly.
Ju Hu was also shocked when he heard this. Then, he lowered his head and began to recite the multiplication formula. The more he memorized, the more he could understand the benefits.
" Looks like I didn't spend the 1,000 yuan in vain." Ju Hu didn't look down on him anymore.
Qiushou felt gratified to see his son so serious.
While everyone in the streets was reciting the multiplication formula, Great Military Advisor Meng Yi had already informed Jian Yong and specially borrowed two bailiffs from the Wei County Court's yamen who were responsible for beating people up. He was prepared to execute them the next day. Great Military Advisor Meng Yi had also been beaten up by his teacher many times. How could he miss such an opportunity? Especially Ju Hu, Great Military Advisor Meng Yi did not intend to let him go.
The next morning, Military Advisor Meng Yi arrived at the Academy. Two bailiffs with large boards were standing at the entrance of the Academy.
However, Military Advisor Meng Yi did not expect that his students had already arrived. Military Advisor Meng Yi seemed to be unwilling to give up, so he asked questions one by one. He did not expect that all of them would memorize the words thoroughly. This time, Military Advisor Meng Yi was a little surprised. Could it be that all the students in ancient times were so honest?
Actually, this was also because Great Military Advisor Meng Yi was thinking too much. Damn it, you've already taken out the big board, who would still dare to disobey?
Thus, Military Advisor Meng Yi began his second day of teaching. This time, it was still mathematics. The students listened attentively, afraid that they would miss something. Under the threat of the big board, Military Advisor Meng Yi began his real lecture.
This time, Military Advisor Meng Yi was still studying mathematics. It was no wonder. Military Advisor Meng Yi really did not know anything else. From addition, multiplication, division, and simple application problems, Military Advisor Meng Yi spared no effort this time. He lectured for a long time and even assigned a few homework tasks at night like a teacher.
Seeing the two large boards at the door, the students, including Ju Hu, were all trembling in fear. Right now, Great Military Advisor Meng Yi would do whatever he wanted.
On the third day, after the mathematics class, these students were no longer calm. Under the guidance of Great Military Advisor Meng Yi, their knowledge of mathematics was no longer comparable to ordinary people. This made everyone extremely excited.
"A strict teacher produces outstanding disciples." Meng Yi's army exclaimed.
On the fourth day, Advisor General Meng Yi stopped teaching them mathematics and started to teach them how to behave.
One had to know that Great Military Advisor Meng Yi was a first-rate eloquent person. He talked about the past and the present, and even told some stories about how the ancients were responsible for their work. He even called it attitude learning.
On the fifth day, Great Military Advisor Meng Yi gave a simple lecture on the laws of the Great Han Dynasty. On the sixth day, these people all went to take up their posts. It was as fast as lightning and as fast as a hurricane. Even Liu Bei did not dare to believe it, but Great Military Advisor Meng Yi still had a plan.
This was because being a county magistrate was not difficult. It was nothing more than counting the household registration and collecting taxes. These were all in mathematics. There were exceptions to this, such as adjudicating some public cases. Didn't Great Military Advisor Meng Yi teach them the law? Also, there could not be lazy officials. Didn't Military Advisor Meng Yi teach them about attitude?
Actually, this was not the fault of Fourth Master Meng Yi. First of all, Fourth Master Meng Yi only knew so much. Second, there were no county magistrates in the dozens of counties in Wei County. They could not just leave it empty, right?
Even if he couldn't do it well, it was because he was in a hurry. Meng Yi's Fourth Master still comforted himself like this and was extremely calm.
However, Liu Bei couldn't remain calm. Although Liu Bei knew that his fourth brother was a great talent, he didn't dare to imagine that he could create such a large number of talents for him in just a few days.
Thinking back, Liu Bei was also a county magistrate a few days ago. Since when was it so easy to be a county magistrate?
Thus, County Governor Liu let Jian Yong and Cui Yan patrol the fifteen counties of Wei County, afraid that they would make a fool of themselves. He also handled official business every day.
Before the matter here was over, news came from Hejian County.
Han Fu and Gongsun Zan started a war.
It turned out that after Gongsun Zan received the imperial edict, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He began to reorganize his army on the same day. Gongsun Zan was really generous. He mobilized 80,000 troops at once, which was almost half of Gongsun Zan's army. It was no wonder that Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, was a coward. How could he dare to find trouble with Gongsun Zan?
Therefore, Gongsun Zan did not have to worry about anything. However, Gongsun Zan was not a brainless person. He even wrote a declaration of war to the world. The content was very simple.
It was nothing more than the rampant bandits in Jizhou, and the governor of Jizhou, Han Fu, was defeated by the bandits. Seeing that Jizhou was about to fall into the hands of the bandits, the governor of Beiping, Gongsun Zan, carried out the heavenly law and raised the righteous flag to help the governor of Jizhou, Han Fu, fight against the bandits.
Gongsun Zan moved quickly. The next day, the vanguard army had already entered Hejian County. Gongsun Zan took Hejian County into his hands without saying anything.
Han Fu led his army to Hejian County in a hurry. He was already safe and wanted Gongsun Zan to leave Hejian County, but what about Gongsun Zan? There was no reason to spit out the meat that had been eaten in his mouth, but he also knew that he was in the wrong, so this Gongsun Zan was really vicious.
That night, he let a group of horse thieves pretend to be Jizhou soldiers and attack his camp. Gongsun Zan's soldiers thought that it was Han Fu who did it. They were furious and asked for battle. Gongsun Zan once again told the world that Han Fu had attacked him.
Actually, even a fool could tell that the Great Provincial Governor Han did not have the guts to attack him. But the truth was right in front of him.
Thus, Provincial Governor Han, who was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood, had no choice but to start the war.
