Chapter 102 The general who hates war! The teenagers formed a team to complete, and Ji Song did not interfere in the process.

Only by allowing them to select people they think they can rely on will reduce disputes in subsequent affairs and improve a lot of efficiency.

Ji Song is watching them, and they are also watching Ji Song.

Of course they were curious about someone who could win such a big battle, but when they saw that the other person was a young boy like them, not only were they not disappointed, they even admired him even more.

They are at a rebellious and fantasy-like age, and Ji Song's appearance just complements their fantasy of a hero.

He has a tall and straight figure, an outstanding temperament, proud military exploits, and the same youth.

This made them feel a little ashamed of themselves and beyond their reach, but they also gave birth to a trust-like admiration.

When they came, Uncle Zhao told them that this was an excellent opportunity and it was up to them whether they could seize it or not. No one could help them.

They are all orphans who lost their relatives in the war. They have no family, no clansmen, and no noble people to help them.

I don't know much about knowledge, I haven't been to school, and I haven't learned the art of war. If I don't have a great opportunity, I can only be a big soldier in this life.

If you are lucky, you can live to be forty and be kicked out of the your fate is bad, you might be killed by the enemy one day.

Therefore, they all cherish this opportunity.

I heard Uncle Zhao say that if they could learn just a little bit this time, their fate would be very , they all looked at the noble young man in front of them eagerly.

"Very good. From today on, you will be divided into six teams: A, B, C, D, W, and Ji. Next, I will teach you some arithmetic knowledge. Whether you can learn it or not depends on your luck.

Because time is very tight, I don't have time to teach you one by one.

Therefore, I will teach you in the process of doing things. If you don’t know how to do it, ask immediately and I will answer it for you.

Okay, now each of you takes a ledger and looks at what is in the ledger. "

Ji Song said.

Then he asked someone to fetch a wooden board, put it on the table, and took out a piece of hardwood charcoal.

Write ten numbers on it and say: "Your task is to reconcile the accounts. That is to say, compare the account books I gave you with the account books in your hands to see if there are any discrepancies or errors. Find them." come out."

Next, Ji Song began to teach them how to read and write ten numbers, and asked them to practice on the ground with branches.

The young men sent by Yuchi were all good, and they quickly understood the meaning of each it was simple. Ji Song took out the general ledger and started to calculate the accounts.

And they compared Ji Song's calculations with the ledgers in their own hands to see where there were any errors or it down first, and finally give it to Ji Song for modification.

Although this still cannot eliminate mistakes, the good thing is that there are many people, so just come a few more times.

As everyone gradually became familiar with it, some teenagers began to find the rules.

What surprised Ji Song was that the teenagers who discovered it first did not hide it, but immediately handed it over to others.

I originally thought that Ji Song would stop him, but after seeing Ji Song's lack of reaction, he became time goes by, more and more teenagers have found some patterns.

If you don't understand anything, just ask Ji Song, and Ji Song will answer the questions carefully until they understand.

Ji Song's gentle and patient answers soon made everyone get closer to Ji Song, and they became more and more open-minded during the Q&A, asking more and more in-depth course, these are not difficult for Ji Song. He has been teaching in Ji's Academy and has already had time you answer, you can hit the key points so that teenagers can understand them quickly.

Those who learn quickly teach others slowly, and they continue to help.

They are like a dry sponge, constantly absorbing sea water and growing rapidly.

it's dark.

But the atmosphere in the big tent became more and more lively. No one complained about being tired or complaining, and it was so well-behaved that it made people feel distressed.

Yuchi had just finished inspecting the army and was about to go back. He saw that Ji Song's tent was still lit. He was a little curious and came to take a look.

I was about to go in, but when I walked at the door and heard the discussion inside, I stopped and lay down at the door to listen.

"General Manager"

Zhang Liang happened to follow him for some reason, and when he saw Yuchi's movements, he shouted.

"Shh!"

He signaled Zhang Liang not to speak, and then he started listening again.

Zhang Liang was puzzled, but seeing that Yuchi didn't look like he was joking, he eavesdropped curiously.

“The earliest tools our ancestors used for counting were fingers and toes, but they could only represent numbers up to twenty.

When the number is large, most people use pebbles and beans to count.

Gradually, people were not satisfied with counting in grains, and invented methods of tying knots and carving numbers on animal skins, bones, trees, and stones.

Our ancestors first used small sticks made of wood, bamboo or bones to keep count, which were called arithmetic chips.

These counting methods and counting symbols slowly transformed into the earliest numerical symbols.

During the pre-Qin period, Qin Shihuang unified writing and measurement. In order to make it easier for the people to count and trade, that is, buy and sell items, he also abolished the writing and numbers of various countries, and only the writing and numbers of Qin were allowed to be used.

Of course, the numbers and characters of our Han people are not separated, but the writing methods are different. After many years of eliminating fakes and preserving the essence, only the two writing forms we learn today are left.

In fact, there is a more convenient way, but since it is not widely spread, I will not talk about it here today. I will teach you when I have the opportunity in the future."

Ji Song talked about the origin of numbers because he wanted to tell them the importance of numbers and arithmetic, and also to arouse their enthusiasm. Judging from the current results, the effect is not bad!

Yuchi and Zhang Liang were very shocked. Although they had never studied arithmetic, they still understood some basics.

They did not expect that Ji Song would start from the origin of numbers. This was something they had never heard of, and no one could explain it so thoroughly.

It turns out that our ancestors first counted with their fingers and knotted ropes. The ones held by those arithmetic gentlemen turned out to be an improvement on the ancestors' counting method of using wooden sticks and beans. It turns out. I was originally aware of all these things but didn't know why. It turned out that they were all based on evidence and did not come out of thin air. They were slowly figured out by our ancestors over the long years.

Oh my God!What did we miss!Most of the wisdom left by our ancestors to future generations has been destroyed by wars over a long period of time, if not lost or damaged.

So, what kind of world should they live in now? It's just like this in heaven! At this time, they hated war as never before and hated everything related to war. (End of this chapter)
