Vol 3 Chapter 2056: -Lend me your finger

Putting down the charcoal, Ji Thief picked up a small wooden stick and knocked it on the wooden board, then turned around and asked everyone.
Everyone looked at it. For about two or three minutes, one of them raised his hand: "Major, I have calculated it."
Ji Zei raised his chin to signal, the latter stood up excitedly: "It's thirty-six."
The rest of the crowd sighed, and their hearts said they were slow.
The thief smiled and nodded: "Very good."
As he spoke, Ji Zei turned around and added a series of sixes on the board, and counted carefully. Good fellow, a total of eighteen sixes.
"Who can figure it out this time?"
Everyone snorted and was immediately embarrassed.
The tribe who answered just now sat down and rushed to the left and right and said, "You borrow your fingers for me to use."
People on both sides screamed, enthusiastically handed them up.
Then the number of people counting is not enough: "Take off your shoes, and borrow my toes."
"Is it enough, do you want to borrow more?"
Ji thief: "···"
Counting it again, for nearly ten minutes, the tribe stood up excitedly: "Major, I have calculated it, it is 104!"
Ji Thief gave a cry, tilted his head and asked: "Are you sure?"
As soon as he said this, the man snorted.
Ji Zei pursed his lips, and rushed to Taishan on the edge: "It's a hundred and four, that's right."
Tai Xin said that you don't even use your fingers, how can you be sure that there are so many?
When Ji Zei asked, the people of the tribe had no idea: "Then, then I will count."
Ji Zei shook his head: "Don't count first, come, you see how I do it."
Everyone nodded their heads, opened a pair of eyes to look at Ji Thief, and finished the sentence. When Ji Thief said a word, he gave his finger to Ji Thief's plan to count. If it really doesn't work, then take off your shoes and give your toes. What a big deal Well.
The thief took the wooden stick and counted the number of sixs on the wooden board one by one in front of the people.
The sound of pattering wooden sticks and planks beat rhythmically, and then stopped after eighteen times.
After that, Ji Thief turned to look at the crowd: "Eighteen six, right?"
Everyone blinked: "No, no."
Ji Zei smiled, turned around and wrote an eighteen on the wooden board with charcoal, then his wooden stick pointed to Liu on the wooden board and asked, "What's this?"
"Six."
Ji Zei wrote a six under the eighteen of eighteen.
How does everyone think about this?
In front of the people of the tribe, Ji Zei drew a multiplication sign in front of the six, and then, under the multiplication sign and six, another horizontal line was drawn.
Whoever counted his fingers just kept blinking his eyes: "My lord, can this be the answer?"
The thief nodded: "Of course."
As he said, he pointed the wooden stick to the board: "First, the multiplication of six and eight is forty-eight, the carry is a four, and the next is eight. Then, the multiplication of ten and six is ​​sixty, plus the carry forty. , Equals one hundred, write it down and see how much it is."
"One, one hundred and eight."
The thief nodded: "Yes, it is exactly one hundred and eight."
"Uh, King, I have never seen an algorithm like yours." The people scratched their heads.
Ji thief waved his hand: "I haven't seen it before, but you can count it at will. Add up to eighteen six, and that's the number. This time I don't limit the time. You can count it yourself with your fingers."
Everyone blinked, greeted them, lowered their hands, and began to count.
Ji Zei looked at him, and for a while, everyone was surprised and surprised.
Really, no matter how you calculate it, it's the figure the king said!
Everyone joined together with joy, and Ji Thief said: "Look, I'm not wrong, multiplication and division are indeed much faster than addition and subtraction. I can complete it in an instant, but it takes so long for you. Which is better, don’t I need to say more?"
Everyone was very humbly and eager to learn, bowed their heads: "We are willing to learn from the king."
The thief nodded: "Well, now, take up all the wooden sticks in your hands."
Everyone who would say anything else, with a strong hum, raised the wooden stick in his hand.
"Now, practice other numbers again. How much is the sum of nineteen fives."
It was the clan member just now, who raised his hand after Ji Thief finished speaking in just 30 seconds: "Great King! I know."
Ji Zei couldn't help being surprised. He said that this person is okay, so he learned so soon?
After Ji Zei nodded, the man stood up with restraint, "One hundred and eight!"
Ji thief: "Huh? How can it be one hundred and eight?"
The human said: "My lord, I just calculated it according to your method."
Ji Zaixin said it was impossible.
He walked over to him a few steps, looked down, his mouth twitched.
Good guy, this guy does the calculation according to the format of the carry multiplication, which is also nineteen times five, that is, he fills in below or eight, and the carry is four, and the answer is one hundred and eight.
"wrong."
Ji thief said.
The tribe was puzzled: "No, my lord, this is the same as you."
Ji Zai shook his head: "Nineteen fives should be ninety-five, how can it be one hundred and eight."
"No, my lord, you just calculated it, six, eight, forty-eight."
"Yes indeed."
The man grinned: "Five or nine is also forty-eight."
Ji Zei rolled his eyes: "Five nine is forty-five."
The man was stunned: "No, no."
"You count it yourself."
The man immediately rushed to the left and right and said, "You borrowed my fingers and toes for use."
Ji Thief slapped his brain speechlessly, it, thinking that they were so talented and intelligent to understand it so quickly, it seems that he still needs to teach from the most basic.
Ji Zei thought about it, and finally figured out how many nines are over there. Isn’t that right? The tribe was also surprised in various ways: "Great King, you are really a god! It is really forty-five!"
Ji thief said: "Okay, don't learn this."
Everyone sighed, their shoulders drooping, and one by one said anxiously: "No, it's not the king, yes, did we do something wrong? King you say, I, we must change. Don't stop learning."
Ji thief waved his hand: "I didn't mean that, I mean, if you want to learn this, you have to memorize the nine-nine multiplication table first."
Everyone: "??? What watch?"
Ji Zei pursed his lips: "Go away first and come over tomorrow morning."
"Uh, King..."
"Go ahead."
Ji thief had said so, and it was useless for everyone to say anything else.
This is not the case. After looking at each other, they all sighed and sighed before turning around.
"and many more."
Just when everyone got up to leave, Ji thief called them all.
Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, then looked back at Ji Thief: "What's the matter with the king?"
Ji thief asked the people who performed the most: "What is your name?"
The man immediately became excited: "Hui Dawang! My name is Apan!"
The thief nodded: "Well, it's dry, it's time to take it."
Apan: "???"
Ji thief said: "You count the number of people, and tell me later, I'm waiting for you in the hall."
After speaking, Ji Zei led his son and went, and the two gods of Tushantai followed around.
On the way to the front hall, Xiao Jihuan was still very confused and asked Ji thief: "Daddy, you just taught well, why didn't you teach it?"
"No matter how good they are taught, they can't do it without the foundation. If a tree wants to take root and grow into a towering tree, you have to lay a solid foundation. Do you understand my son?"
Xiao Jihuan let out a cry, seemingly understandable.
Here Ji Thief went, but Apan didn't understand what Ji Thief meant. After thinking for a while, he still did.
He counted all the members of his clans one by one, and counted himself, the total was forty-three.
Then, Apan, who had been counted, went to find Ji Thief.
When he came to the hall, Ji Thief was lying on the side of the desk, spreading the linen cloth, blending the black paint and writing something.
A Pan walked up, respectfully, and didn't dare to transgress at the slightest: "My lord, it has been counted. There are forty-three people including me."
The thief heard the words and nodded: "Well, okay, I see, you go first, and take the people to play for an afternoon."
"Play, play?"
"Well, in the next few days, you are afraid it will be very hard. Take a break in advance and relax."
As soon as Ji Thief said this, Apan's heart was chilled, and he said that the great king said so, so it seems that the future will not be easy.
He roused his spirit, recovered his senses, then clasped his fists and said yes respectfully.
