Han Yan was a little hesitant. ┡┟┟┠To read the book 1.┞Sang Hongyang had outstanding mental mathematical ability, which he knew very well. However, Liang Xiao repeatedly despised him, and now he even said in front of Sang Hongyang that his computing power was less than half of Sang Hongyang, and he was very dissatisfied.

Is it tolerable, who can't bear it?

He stared at Liang Xiao: "Is it really a simple calculation problem?"

Liang Xiao smiled slightly: "It must be simple, it's just that a few numbers are added together, and there is no subtraction in terms of multiples."

When Han Yan heard this, she gritted her teeth. "A word is certain?"

"Of course. So many people are watching, in front of the Emperor's Palace, can I still fool you?"

Han Yan was still worried, afraid that Liang Xiao would deliberately favor Sang Hongyang, so he entered the hall and called Yan Zhu and Mei Gao. He knew that Yan Zhu and Liang Xiao were not in harmony, but Mei Gao was very close to Liang Xiao. He brought these two people to avoid making people say that he had selfish thoughts.

Unexpectedly, there were quite a lot of people watching the fun. I heard that Liang Xiao was going to give Han Yan and Sang Hongyang a question, and everyone came out, and even the emperor came out to listen to the fun.

When everyone arrived, Liang Xiao took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and said word by word: "Two, please listen to the topic. One plus two, three plus four, five plus all the way to one hundred. What is the total number? Han Wangsun, isn't this question difficult?"

Han Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and glared at Liang Xiao at the same time. She didn't bother to refute Liang Xiao, and quickly started calculating with her fingers. ┝┝┢Want to┢Reading╟

"One plus two gets three, three gets six, four gets ten..."

Yan Zhu turned around and entered the hall, and quietly gave Han Yan a plan. "Wangsun, Sang Jun is good at mental arithmetic, but you don't know how to make plans, why not?"

Han Yan looked at Liang Xiao with some guilt. Before Liang Xiao could speak, Sang Hongyang smiled and said, "It's okay, Wang Sun, you can use the calculation."

Han Yan smiled awkwardly, took the calculation sheet and started to calculate. Sang Hongyang narrowed his eyes slightly, motionless, only his lips trembled slightly. After about a few glasses of wine, Sang Hongyang took the pen and bamboo slips from Mei Gao's hand and wrote a number.

Han Yan had just finished thirty years old. Seeing this, she stopped blushing and preparing to let go of the calculation plan in her hand to admit defeat. Liang Xiao stopped him. "Your Madam, you should finish it. Time is important, right or wrong is the foundation. Maybe Sang Jun had calculated it wrong, and you still have a chance."

Han Yan hesitated for a moment. He didn't know whether what Liang Xiao said was true or not, so he had to concentrate and continue to do so. But in front of everyone, he became more and more panicked, and he fell to the ground several times. After using it for nearly three times, he finally came up with a result.

“Four thousand eight hundred and fifty.”

Liang Xiao didn't say anything, and signaled Sang Hongyang to take out the written bamboo slips. ╟┡┡read the book┞ When everyone saw it, the bamboo slips said five thousand and fifty.

"Who is right and who is wrong?" Mei Gao and others all turned their eyes to Liang Xiao.

"Your grandson, you are wrong." The emperor who had been standing aside sighed. "It was five thousand and fifty. I just calculated it, and it was the result."

Han Yan's face turned white and white. He was ashamed. Not only did he take three times the time, he was wrong. Not only did he confirm Liang Xiao's statement that he was stupid, but he also broke the lower limit. He was really boring. He threw the calculation plan on the ground and left with his sleeves.

Liang Xiao didn't care about Han Yan's departure, but was surprised by the emperor. He didn't expect that the emperor's mental arithmetic ability was so good.

"Liang Xiao, why bother with him?" The emperor shook his head, a little displeased. "You have the talent of a minister. You should also have the strength of a minister. Why bother with these clevernesses and their colleagues are not harmonious."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other. Many people quietly made way out. Han Yan was the favorite minister of the emperor, and the emperor was obviously trying to stand up for Han Yan.

Liang Xiao shook his head, neither humble nor arrogant. "Your Majesty praised me. Although I cannot be the word "Minister", I do not think that this is a cleverness. If you want to govern a family, you must live within your means. If you are well versed in calculations, how can you not understand arithmetic? The speed varies from person to person. It is funny, but if you calculate it wrong, you may not be a minister. It is stupid. As long as you have the ability to know yourself and keep your duties, it is fine. Read 1. ┡┢┝┟If you are too ambitious and want to be a hero, you may only mislead others."

Liang Xiao didn't say it any more, but just shook his head. He understood his meaning very clearly. Such a simple question can be miscalculated. This person's IQ is still reliable. Do you still dare to use it?

When everyone on the side heard this, they felt a little shocked. Liang Xiao dug the pit a little big, and suddenly marked Han Yan as a fool who overestimated his abilities. The emperor was extremely smart. He was the first to take power. When he was ambitious and wanted to do something, how could he miss a big deal and lose his heart for a fool who couldn't even calculate it?

The emperor was also a little moved. In front of so many confidant ministers, he had to worry about it. Moreover, Han Yan recently said a lot of things that were unfavorable to Liang Xiao, and the hostility between them was obvious. The emperor knew who Han Yan was, and Liang Xiao's words seemed to imply that Han Yan took the initiative to provoke. If this was true, it would be reasonable for Liang Xiao to embarrass him.

Liang Xiao is a ungrateful warrior. When he encounters provocation, he is already polite to not beat Han Yan like Li Danghu.

The emperor had a headache. One was a close minister who was aware of the knowledge and tact, and the other was a genius who was good at fighting. If these two people didn't deal with each other, I really don't know whether it was a blessing or a regret.

A small storm was gently revealed, and Liang Xiao explained the question about refractive index to Sang Hongyang. He did not say that it was solved by himself, but instead entrusted Dongfang Shuo's enlightenment from Greek scriptures. This was to avoid attracting too much attention to himself. This was not a matter of swing frequency. It was impossible for him, a person who had not read a few days, to understand it himself, and it was safer to push it to a genius like Dongfang Shuo.

Sang Hongyang was amazed. He thought about the difficult problems that had lasted for more than a year, but it was so simple and the solution was so novel. He couldn't help but become more interested in the Greek classics mentioned by Liang Xiao. Even the emperor praised him after reading the answer.

"It seems that this Greek wise man is indeed extraordinary and cannot be equated with ordinary barbarians."

Liang Xiao took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, Greece is not only not a barbarian, but also has its own unique features. According to the theory of the establishment of the country, Greece and Zhou have always been there. According to the theory of civilization, the books written by wise men are no less than those of the scholars, and are quite impressive. If you can take the essence, remove the dross, and integrate it with our Chinese civilization, it may be of great help to Your Majesty's great cause."

"Is that right?" The emperor became very alert. He looked at Liang Xiao, thinking that he was advocating the Greek Federation's style again. If so, he would have to stop him.

Liang Xiao turned around and smiled at Yan Zhu: "Do you still remember the glass sold by Hu Shang in Wu County?"

Yan Zhu didn't react for a moment and nodded. "I remember, the glass sold by Hu Shang is very famous and expensive."

"The glass made by the Master Weng in Huainan is to learn from those Hu merchants. However, she used the wisdom of the disciples of the Huainan Palace to improve it, so she made a purer glass, and then made a thousand-mile eye. Your Majesty, this one alone can increase the income of the King of Huainan in a year. If the court could also obtain some secret techniques from Greek scriptures, wouldn't it be possible to make a fortune?"

When the emperor heard this, he woke up from his dream and was overjoyed. He didn't like the Greek city-state system, but he liked money. After most of the day of discussion, he now knew that although he was rich, he was far from enough to support decades of war. If he wanted to conquer the Huns, he needed more money. Since Liu Ling could find wealth from the glass and even created a clairvoyance, why couldn't he?

Is the court's appeal to talents not as good as that of the King of Huainan? If so, how could a genius like Liang Xiao refuse the Prince's Mansion and arrive in Chang'an?

"It makes sense, it makes sense." The emperor was full of confidence and looked up at him, and joked: "Liang Xiao, if the Lord of Huainan learned that you had made this plan for the court, he would probably hate you to the core."

When everyone heard this, they laughed out loud. Everyone in Chang'an City knew what the Lord of Huainan was interested in Liang Xiao. Yan Zhu felt a little sad, but he had to laugh dryly, so as not to be seen through.

Liang Xiao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, people go to high places and water flows to low places. Although the Master Huainan is a woman, she is smart and does not let the beards beauties, so she will understand this truth. Besides, Huainan is also a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. Didn't she also offer her clever eyes to Your Majesty? Speaking of which, if I can have a small victory in the Western Regions, the Master Huainan has played a great role. When she comes to the capital, I must thank you in person."

"Hahaha..." The emperor nodded repeatedly with a smile. "It should be, it should be. Yan Zhu, and King Qiu Shou, from now on, you should pay attention to Greek classics and find a way to make money as soon as possible. You use literature, Liang Xiao, Wei Qing, and you, my king and ministers to work together, why worry about the immortality of the Huns?"

"Now!" Liang Xiao and others bowed to accept the order and answered in unison.

Although Yan Zhu and others were happy, Liang Xiao was the happiest person. Since this era came, he had been considering how to introduce the essence of Western civilization, so he worked hard to learn Greek and study Greek classics, but was repeatedly reminded by Dongfang Shuo not to propose the Greek federal system in front of the emperor.

He was not frustrated by this, but realized that this road was not easy and could not be completed by bringing back a few Greek books. Before the two civilizations merged, the collision between them was inevitable. On the way back to the east, he had been thinking about how to give advice, and now he finally found a suitable entry point.

The Greeks established a country through business, and the emperor wanted to conquer the Huns and enjoy life, which required a lot of money. He would definitely not refuse money. As long as he ordered the translation of Greek classics and arranged for scholars to study Greek culture, he would not try to stop Greek civilization from entering Chinese civilization.

Liang Xiao didn't know what consequences would lead to this, but he believed that there would always be no harm in broadening his horizons and looking at the world. When Confucianism was not yet supreme and Chinese civilization was still thriving, Emperor Wu of Han was another pioneering master. At this time, the introduction of Greek civilization had the least resistance. When Confucianism became popular and Confucian scholars were spread all over the court, it would not be so easy.

Liang Xiao felt like a switchman, and he seized the opportunity to change his direction when the train had just started. Now, he could sit down, savor a cup of tea, sit and watch the ebb and flow of the tide, accumulate energy, and then join in and be a trendsetter-
