Chapter 25-Cultured Xu Chu! (New book!)
Xu Chu's voice suddenly sounded in the tent.
Cao Cao and Cheng Yu, who were checking the accounts, looked back at Xu Chu as if they had seen a ghost.
Cao Cao pointed at the accounts in front of him and asked in an extremely suspicious tone,""You can understand it?"
Xu Chu was also stunned by the question.
Yes, how could he understand it?
Even Xu Chu himself was suspicious, let alone Cao Cao.
But he really did understand.
Hence, under the shocked gazes of Cao Cao and Cheng Yu, Xu Chu pointed at an error in the account book and said,"
"My lord, on the 16th day, 750 dans of grain were brought into the camp, and on the 19th day, 250 dans of grain were brought into the camp. The total should be 1,000 dans in two days, but it is recorded here as 900 dans!”
Xu Chu pointed out an obvious mistake.
Cao Cao and Cheng Yu were both busy looking at it.
For such a low-level mistake, even if Xu Chu did not say it, the two of them would have noticed it.
After the two of them took a closer look, it was indeed as Xu Chu had said. The words on it were indeed wrong.
However, the two of them were not shocked that Xu Chu could see the mistake.
But how did he see through it at a glance?
If someone else said that Xu Chu could eat a cow in one meal, Cao Cao might not doubt it.
If Xu Chu fell in love with algebra, Cao Cao would never believe it!
Cao Cao widened his eyes as if he had seen a ghost."How could you tell?"
If Xu Chu's answer was vague, Cao Cao would not say anything.
"I can tell, but it's really troublesome to record this account book like this!”Xu Chu said as he scratched his chin.
Cao Cao and Cheng Yu's eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.
Look!
Look at what this guy was saying.
You, a guy with more muscles than brains, actually laughed at our account books?
Why did the Star of Civilization descend to the mortal world and land on you?
"Then tell me, how should I remember it?" Cao Cao handed the pen in his hand to Xu Chu.
What happened next completely overturned Cao Cao and Cheng Yu's understanding of Xu Chu.
"My liege, look, it's too troublesome to write these numbers like this.”
" Write it this way. This is 1, this is 2, and this is 3."
As he spoke, Xu Chu used Arabic numbers to write 0 to 9 for Cao Cao.
The principle of adding and deducting numbers naturally did not change, but the way of writing it was simplified.
Moreover, it was clear at a glance.
In the past, it was 12500 stones, but now it was 12500 stones. It seemed that it had been simplified.
Cao Cao and Cheng Yu were both smart people.
When Xu Chu wrote down these numbers, he understood what kind of change it was.
It could be said to have simplified the complex and turned the rotten into the magical.
"This…"
Cheng Yu pointed at the numbers on the account book. He looked at the numbers and then at the equipment.
Was this invented by Xu Chu?
However, Cao Cao did not think so.
He quickly thought of the crux of the matter.
"What have you been doing recently?" Cao Cao suddenly asked.
Xu Chu did not even think about it and subconsciously said,"I was playing Fight the Landlord with Mister. The land that the lord gave me in Xu Du has already been lost to Mister.”
This was correct!
Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
Cao Cao would never believe that Xu Chu had invented such a writing method.
However, since Zhuge Yi was involved in this matter, it could naturally be explained.
He was wondering why this silly fellow had been going out every day recently. It turned out that he had gone to look for Zhuge Yi.
It seemed that this method of writing numbers must have come from Zhuge Yi.
Cheng Yu also noticed the word that Xu Chu had just spat out.
Sir.
Who was Xu Chu calling Sir?
"Who is the mister that General Xu is talking about?" Cheng Yu asked tentatively.
However, Cao Cao did not give Cheng Yu a chance to ask. He waved his hand and dismissed Xu Chu.
"Alright, alright. You can learn it, which means that this is really useful. You can go down first!”Cao Cao waved his hand.
"Oh!"
Xu Chu nodded. He knew that he had said something wrong and had almost exposed Zhuge Yi.
Therefore, he left with his head hung low.
His original wish to have Cao Cao fight for him was dashed.
After Xu Chu left, only Cao Cao and Cheng Yu were left in the tent.
"Zhong De, let's make this writing method popular. It seems much simpler!”Cao Cao said to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu knew that Cao Cao would definitely not say anything more, so he did not ask further.
After leaving Cao Cao's tent, he went to find Jia Xu.
"Wenhe, look!"
After Cheng Yu found Jia Xu, he showed Jia Xu the Arabic numbers written by Xu Chu and explained.
Jia Xu immediately widened his eyes in shock.
"This kind of secretary method is indeed much simpler. If it can be vigorously promoted, it will definitely be quickly popularized.”Jia Xu asked.
"General Xu said that this is an Arabic number. It was given to him by Sir!”Cheng Yu said.
"Sir? What mister?" Jia Xu suddenly raised his head.
