"Today we'll learn multiplication and division."
It's still the original room, but the layout in the room has changed a lot. A lecture table and five sets of tables and chairs are neatly placed in the room.
Behind the desk, a five foot wide and eight foot long wooden board replaced the original small wooden board, which was painted with a layer of black paint, slightly emitting a pungent smell.
Merton picked up a chalk and wrote a few words on the blackboard. The white limestone was clearly printed on the dark wood, which was very conspicuous. The black-and-white contrast made people look very comfortable and clear at a glance.
This set of equipment was made by Morton who asked Lao Zhang to hurry up. The blackboard is very simple. An apprentice can do it, and chalk is easy to do. There is no shortage of limestone in Mojia village. Water the limestone, precipitate it, and then pour it into the prepared mold. After two days of air drying, it can be formed soon.
The snow-white chalk leaves a clear mark on the blackboard, which is clearly arranged in rows.
"Multiplication formula table?" Qin Huaiyu read it out.
"Yes, what we are going to learn today is multiplication, and multiplication formula table is the most important basis of mathematics." Merton became a teacher for the second time, and he has mastered the rhythm quickly.
Zu Mingjun was shocked and looked at the multiplication formula table on the blackboard. He was shocked. Of course, he could calculate these numbers, but when he completely controlled these multiplication, he was already in his teens and worked a lot in private.
"One by one, one by two, two by two..."
Watching a group of old students reading multiplication formulas solemnly, whether it's the naughty Qin Huaiyu, Li Gaoming, and Zu Mingjun, who has made great achievements in mathematics, everyone is eagerly absorbing this new knowledge.
Merton was relieved. The knowledge he knows is the essence of thousands of years from his ancestors. Now he spreads it and saves countless detours. This is the greatest respect for these knowledge.
Multiplication formula and simple multiplication and division are not difficult for five people. Each of them has a solid mathematical foundation and lacks only some skills. Multiplication formula directly summarizes their previous knowledge.
"If I had known such a simple method, I wouldn't have been subjected to so many boards." Qin Huaiyu sighed.
Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin nodded again and again. The three of them had been in school for many years and suffered countless hardships. Only they knew the hardships.
Although all three of them are dandies, they are also at the bottom of the National Academy. But that is compared with the National Academy of Sciences, which focuses on the national elite. Compared with ordinary people, their foundation is very good. After all, the education of the big family is systematic, and the three of them carry the prosperity of the family. They can't be ignorant at all.
"It's amazing! After thousands of years of silence, the sages of Mohism developed such profound mathematical knowledge. This method is simple and convenient, easy to calculate, and it's clear at a glance. Having this method is the gospel of thousands of students." Li Gaoming was so surprised that he couldn't help sighing again and again.
Zu Mingjun nodded. He is also an aristocratic family with a rich family background, and their proud achievements in mathematics are not as important as the multiplication formula table in front of them. Therefore, the multiplication formula table can also be learned smoothly by six-year-old children, which has played an inestimable role in the promotion of mathematics.
A class was soon over. After Qin Huaiyu tasted the fish master's mouth watering food again, they got up and left.
"Brother Li, please stay." Merton shouted at Li Gaoming who was about to leave.
"What's the matter? Brother Mo, what can I do for you?" Li Gaoming wondered.
Merton smiled silently, reached out and saw purple clothes coming in with three pairs of boots.
"Young master!" cried the purple clothes crisply.
"This is a gift prepared by Merton himself for brother Gaoming!" Merton pointed to his boots.
Qin Huaiyu and others looked at the boots in Ziyi's hand curiously and said with a smile: "Merton, you are eccentric. You even sent gifts to Li Gaoming behind our back.
”It looks really good! Such good shoes are not common! Chumo exaggerates.
No, Chumo is right. Merton is the best shoemaker in Mojia village. The materials and workmanship are first-class.
"Brother Mo is very kind. You can't accept anything without merit. Gao Ming himself has the courage to study. Brother Mo didn't hide anything from Gao Ming at the beginning of his acquaintance, but gave it to him. He is so ashamed that he can't accept such a valuable gift again," Li Gaoming postponed.
Merton smiled and said, "brother Gaoming, don't refuse. Please try again."
At Merton's insistence, Li Gaoming reluctantly picked up Merton's shoes for his difficulty.
"There are three pairs of shoes in total. I don't know brother Gao Ming's shoe size, so I asked people to make three pairs of large, medium and small shoes. I believe there is one suitable for you." Merton said confidently.
Li Gaoming's face hesitated. He could see that Merton must have a reason to give him shoes, but he didn't want to directly expose his inconvenient shortcomings in front of the public.
"Brother Li, you'd better go to the back hall with me to try on the new shoes! You can't live up to brother Mo's kindness." Chumo takes the initiative to break the siege, picks up the shoes in Ziyi's hand and leads Li Gaoming to the back hall.
Qin Huaiyu waited in the front hall. Zu Mingjun was confused, but Qin Huaiyu looked at the back hall thoughtfully.
"Ah!"
Suddenly a scream came from the back hall.
"What's the matter?" Qin Huaiyu jumped up nervously.
"It's all right!" Chumo replies in a loud voice. However, there are still bursts of exclamations in the back hall, but Qin Huaiyu is surprised. Qin Huaiyu can't bear to rush in.
Soon. As soon as the door curtain is lifted, Li Gaoming and Chumo come in. Their faces look incredible.
"Thank you for your kindness, brother mo. Gao Mingming keeps it in mind!" Li Gaoming walked towards Merton and saluted solemnly.
"Gaoming, you're welcome. It's natural for friends to help each other." Merton quickly picked up Li Gaoming.
"Gao Ming, your legs?" Qin Huaiyu looked at Li Gaoming's feet in surprise. He found Li Gaoming's leg disease. After wearing these shoes again, he couldn't see the slightest bit and walked normally.
"Hahaha, isn't it incredible!" Li Gaoming was so excited that he walked steadily for a few steps. He couldn't see that there was a problem with his legs.
"What's the matter?" several people were surprised. Li Gaoming had just entered the back hall for a quarter of an hour and had cured his leg disease.
"Is it the reason for these shoes?" Zu Mingjun turned his eyes to the brand-new shoes on Li Gaoming's feet.
"As like as two peas, the shoes are not the same as the ordinary shoes, but the inside is hidden in the mysterious, which is more than a little bit. So Li no longer needs to be laughed at." Li Gaoming said excitedly.
Li Gaoming is extremely excited. His leg disease has always been his heart disease. Now he has solved it so skillfully. Although he has not completely solved his foot disease, it has not affected his walking at all.
"Morton, I really express my gratitude in words for brother mo. Gao Mingming remembers the kindness of brother mo." Li Gaoming said solemnly.
"Brother Gao Ming said that. We are friends. It's right for friends to help each other. If you don't want to return, you'll see it again!" Morton pretended to be angry.
"Hahaha, well said, I'll make you a friend today." Li Gaoming laughed.
"Yes, we are friends!" Qin Huaiyu and the four also got up and said solemnly.
