A moment later, the crowd swarmed in!
"Don't push, don't push! Line up one by one!"
Looking at the crowd, Li Xuanji shouted,"
"Line up properly. Those who don't line up will be disqualified.”
As soon as these words were said, everyone became well-behaved.
Very soon, a live interview took place in Great Qin.
"Name, birthplace, age, introduce yourself!”
Li Xuanji frowned as he looked at a young man with a wretched appearance in front of him.
"My name is Li Erniu, I'm from the sand dune and I'm twenty-one years old.”
The wretched youth said nervously.
"Have you learned arithmetic?"
Li Xuanji asked again. Since he wanted to hire a shopkeeper, how could he not know how to calculate?
"I…have!"
The man stammered,"
"Okay, then let me ask you. There are five hens, ten roosters, and seven chicks. How many chickens are there in total?”
"A total of…"
The wretched young man counted and did not answer after a long time.
"F * ck, you don't even know the most basic addition. You'll never be hired if you falsify your resume. Next!”
Li Xuanji was a little angry. Wasn't this a waste of my time?
"Immortal Master Li, please give me another chance. I'm also a Li. Maybe we were still a family 800 years ago!”
The wretched youth shouted unwillingly.
Li Xuanji would not give him the chance.
One, two... Li Xuanji was a little disappointed. It seemed that no matter which dynasty it was, talents were always scarce.
There were actually many people in the Qin Dynasty who didn't even know how much one plus one was.
Knowing how to count was the basic requirement for him to find someone. How could he be a shopkeeper if he couldn't even count the accounts?
Moreover, he needed a shrewd person to open the shop.
Arithmetic had never been valued in ancient times, but today, Li Xuanji had truly witnessed it!
There were also some people who were obviously here to make up the numbers. Some old men with white beards were actually lining up.
Suddenly, Li Xuanji's eyes lit up because an acquaintance had appeared in front of him.
It was a delicate and pretty young lady. This young lady was none other than the female swindler who had sold herself to bury her father that day.
"Why is Young Lady here?"
"Does Immortal Master Li discriminate against women? You didn't say anything about women in your conditions?”
Li Xuanji chuckled and said,"
"But didn't I say I want character? What's your character like?"
The woman bit her lip and didn't say anything. It was obvious that she knew what Li Xuanji meant.
Seeing the woman's expression, Li Xuanji chuckled and continued,"
"Forget it, let's take a look. Name, birthplace, age!”
"My name is Si Rong, from Shangjun. I'm eighteen this year.”
Li Xuanji nodded. Si Rong's appearance was obvious.
"Have you learned arithmetic?"
Li Xuanji continued to ask.
"I haven't learned it…"
Upon hearing this, Li Xuanji almost stood up and punched her. Why did you come and join in the fun if you didn't learn from her?
What's the use of being good-looking? Can it be eaten?
Seeing that Li Xuanji was about to call for the next person, Si Rong quickly said,
"Immortal Master Li, I can answer all the questions you just asked.”
His tone was filled with determination.
"Oh?"
Li Xuanji's interest was piqued as well. He asked lazily,"
"Today, there are ten female ducks, ten male ducks, and ten ducklings. Each male duck can hatch ten ducklings.”
Hearing the question, Si Rong asked curiously,
"Immortal Master Li, I raised ducks before. Male ducks can't lay eggs.”
"If I say I can play, then I can. Answer the question.”
"This immortal master is really unreasonable."
Si Rong mumbled and then said,
"There are a total of 130 ducks!”
"Yes! Are you sure?"
Li Xuanji raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I'm sure!"
Si Rong appraised.
She actually got it right. This little girl was quite something. She actually knew how to mix and multiply.
"Alright, then I'll ask you."
Li Xuanji thought for a moment and continued,"
"There are eighty-one sheep and nine sheep pens. How many sheep should be driven into each pen?”
"Nine sheep!"
Si Rong answered without hesitation. His gaze was a little strange, as if he was asking if there was anything more difficult?
"Interesting."
Li Xuanji nodded. This was the best math he had ever encountered. Of course, he was talking about the Qin Dynasty.
Since that was the case, he would give a more difficult question:
"Today, there is an old chicken worth five coins, a mother chicken worth three coins, and three chicks worth one coin. A hundred dollars to buy a hundred chickens, ask the old man how many chickens, mother and young?”
This question was an ancient calculation problem, the hundred money problem. It came from the Northern and Southern Dynasties. This question was not difficult for modern people.
It was just a random indeterminate equation, but it was a little complicated for the ancients.
Li Xuanji thought about it in his mind and looked at Si Rong with a smile.
"This question is quite difficult. Let's see if you can answer it.”
