Great Tang’s Talented Little Landlord

Li Wangyou really wants to learn from the crossing novels that he has read, and give Ma Zhou some difficult problems like wearing a rope with nine beads.

But firstly, he didn’t have such a gem, and secondly, he used this kind of topic to test the Tang Dynasty, that is, inviting humiliation to oneself.

Because of the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius gave the answer long ago, applying grease to the thread to make the ants communicate.

Tang Dynasty also has “An Ant Wearing Nine Songs of Beads”, so others have known this for a long time, and Li Wangyou would not be boring.

He gave Ma Zhou a logical reasoning question: “I now have twelve coins, one of which is a fake coin with lead, with different weights. Give you a weighing machine, which can only be weighed three times. I want to find out the fake money and ask how to operate it? Hehe, Brother Binwang, if this problem can’t be solved, just let it go if you apprehend the teacher.”

Weighing apparatus is an ancient Chinese balance.

The beam is made of bamboo, the silk thread is the button, and a copper plate is hung on both ends. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, the manufacturing technology of balances and weights became quite sophisticated.

Li Wangyou deliberately posed a problem for Ma Zhou. He didn’t believe that this Great Tang scholar would solve this kind of logical reasoning problem.

The thief problem that I had raised in Zhang Liang’s mansion before has baffled so many court officials, even Yang Zuan can’t think about it.

As soon as he came up with this question, Ma Zhou frowned and began to think seriously. And those villagers were even more confused, feeling that there would be no answer to this question.

“Small master, this is deliberately embarrassing people? How can it be possible to only weigh three times and find fake money with different weights from twelve coins?”

” First weigh the weight with your hands? Which coin has a different weight before weighing it?”

“Isn’t this problem unsolvable? How can it be difficult to find such a problem?”

“It seems that the small master doesn’t want to accept the Ma Zhou brother as a discipline, so I deliberately created such an unsolvable problem to make things difficult.”

Watching the lively Shopkeeper of Ma Zhou on the side, I was also caught by Li Wangyou is stumped by the question, he has been thinking hard for a long time, and he also feels that this question has no answer.

Six coins versus six coins…I don’t know the weight…Five coins versus five coins? Twelve coins… how to solve this problem?

“Small master, does this question really have an answer?” Ma Shopkeeper asked.

Li Wangyou nodded: “This is natural. Will I have an unsolvable problem deliberately embarrassing Brother Binwang?”

Yes!

All the people who eat melon are nodded. Even Niu Wu is nodded. The angry Li Wangyou almost kicked him.

These guards are incredible!

How embarrassing he is to treat his Master like this.

Li Wangyou thought about it, and simply pulled Old Village Head to testify, whispering to him the answer.

This question is not difficult to answer.

First, the twelve coins are divided into three groups, four in one group. Then put the first group and second group in the copper plates on the left and right sides of the weighing instrument.

If it is balanced, the different copper coins are in the third group. If they are different……

Uh, students who are interested, Li Wangyou recommends Baidu by yourself, and write the complete answering process of this question , It is too much.

Informed Old Village Head of the problem-solving process, but confused the old man. After a long time, nodded, uncertain: “The old man understands, this question is really solvable.”

In fact, the old man didn’t understand anything. Said that he had already fainted.

Its so embarrassing that I dont even understand the answer.

So Old Village Head is nodded again: “The old man that the small master said understands, Ma Zhou, please think about it.”

Old Village Head walked in all directions. On the side, the dealers of Dingzhou Village were surrounded by water.

“Village Head, tell us about it, how do you call this coin?”

“Don’t worry, we won’t tell Ma Zhou.”

“Hurry up and tell us the answer.”

Tell your sister! The old man’s eyes stared: “Is the work finished? Have you fed the horse? After feeding the horse, the ropes on the cart are tight. Don’t you dare to drop these porcelains. You can’t accompany them if you sell them!” /p>

He scolded, but bluffed the dealers, and left to do things separately. The group of Old Village Head and the others dispersed, only to wipe the sweat from the forehead, this Li Family small master is really bad!

Since Li Wangyou presented Ma Zhou with this problem, Ma Zhou has become like a lost soul. Whether he eats or sits on a carriage, he is muddleheaded and has been thinking about these twelve copper coins. topic.

Even when Carriage returned to Chang’an City, he knew nothing about it and was completely immersed in this question.

Li Wangyou couldn’t help being a little blushed with shame. He wouldn’t use too much force to fool Ma Zhou, the future Prime Minister of Great Tang, right? It would be too sinful to be so.

Carriage enters the city from the North Gwanghwa Gate of Chang’an City and crosses four streets to reach the Ch_ng’n Xi Market. The Ma Family store is opened in the Xi Market.

This time from Yinzhou to Chang’an City, I only took a rest on the road for two nights, and finished the eight-nine hundred miles in three days.

It wasn’t until the Carriage team drove to the door of Ma Family Porcelain store under the guidance of Shopkeeper Ma, that Shopkeeper Ma finally took a breath, and his reputation and gold sign were finally preserved.

Hello all the folks in the store, come out and unload the truck, and the dealers of Dingzhou Village are also helping out. Shopkeeper Ma invited Old Village Head and Li Wangyou into the store, and immediately greeted the accountant to go to the warehouse to fetch gold Pay the bill.

Six hundred coins, equivalent to one hundred tael of gold, Shopkeeper Ma paid the fare directly with gold and left their Dingzhou Village address, saying that they would definitely ask them to help deliver the goods next time.

After busying for a long time, finally unloaded all the goods. Until this time, Ma Zhou was still sitting motionless on the Carriage, thinking about the twelve copper coins.

Looking at its getting late, Li Wangyou discussed with Old Village Head, and he went back to Dingzhou Village today, and then went to Ch_ngn County Official to deliver the errands. They still have a lot of time anyway. Don’t worry about this moment.

After running around on the road for six or seven days, everyone was feeling homesick, so Old Village Head nodded agreed.

At this time, the Twilight Drum has sounded, and the Carriage team took the Golden Light Sect next to Xi Market out of the city, bypassed the city wall, and went straight to Hu County.

As soon as the sky turned dark, the four-wheeled Carriage team returned to Dingzhou Village, which caused a commotion in the village.

Dingzhou Village has a total of 127 households. This time, 70 people went to this spring, accounting for almost 2/3 of the villages households.

The man in the family now suddenly came back with his baby, which naturally attracted the whole village to greet them.

The beauty boss also got the news, and led Pei Lan out with a smile to welcome Li Wangyou home.

“Wangyou, you have worked so hard, you… why are you so stinky! Go take a bath!” Su Changqing was just about to come forward and talk to Li Wangyou, but couldn’t help covering his nose with his hands, disgustingly Said.

Li Wangyou smelled himself, isn’t it? For six or seven days, he had a meal and sleepless night, and it was so bad…

He laughed awkwardly and ran back to the backyard to take a shower.

Li Wangyou ran away, but forgot Ma Zhou. This child is still sitting on the Carriage, whispering like a dementia arithmetic…
