Chapter 156 Fooling the Ancient People with Bad Minds

Cai Fu.

Yuan Tan is talking to Cai Yan.

Of course it was cheating against the master, that is to say, his father Cai Yong didn't know about it.

Yuan Tan leaned on one side of Xi Ta, and Cai Yan leaned on the other.

There are many kinds of mats, and this one is very spacious, similar to a big sofa.

Cai Yan twirled a beauty fan in his hand, and said, "Brother, I have heard about it, little sister. In this city of Ye, there are countless daughters waiting to be married in the mansion, and they all hope to meet you, brother."

Yuan Tan's eyes widened immediately, "Why didn't I know about such a thing?"

Cai Yan said solemnly: "If brother is interested in that daughter, you can tell my younger sister, and my younger sister will be your matchmaker."

"Oh, my sister is so kind to me. In fact, if I can find a sister like this, I will be satisfied for my brother in this life."

Yuan Tan's tone was full of sorrow and vicissitudes.

Cai Yan was still very angry at first, but when she heard the second half of the sentence, she felt warm in her heart for some reason.

The confidant girl next to her, Xiao Yu, was pinching Yuan Tan's shoulders, and almost twitched when she heard it.

I thought to myself, you two just continue to be so tired of it, my goosebumps have lost about ten catties in total.

But she can also see the sweetness between the two people. Could it be that this is the legendary "stealing is worse than knowing".

"Eldest son, you are here, I said how to get to your mansion, but I didn't find you."

At this time, Cai Yong's voice came.

"!!!" Yuan Tan jumped up, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly put on his shoes.

"!!!" Cai Yan got up too, and Xiao Yu ran over to put on her shoes.

One must know that after the battle of Yi Jing, Yuan Tan's reputation was really outstanding in the world. One must know that because of him, how many people took the initiative to join Yuan's family.

And Cai Yong has already looked for Yuan Tan several times, but because Yuan Tan is too busy, he can't see him. Today, I brought a few famous people to the mansion without making an appointment, and Yuan Tan was not there.

"Daughter, you are also here..." Cai Yong thought that Yuan Tan came to the mansion to look for him, and felt very honored.

At this moment, his face was ashen, it turned out that he did not come to look for him, but to look for his daughter

this…….

"You...you have a private meeting!"

Cai Yan became extremely nervous. For a classic beauty, a private meeting is a serious violation of principles and a big problem that breaks the bottom line.

Fortunately, Yuan Tan has a thick skin, and he likes to fool old people with poor brains the most.

Especially the ancient people.

He stood up in time, stood in front of Cai Yan, and said calmly, "Old Cai, how could you be so misunderstood. My sister and I have a very innocent relationship. At most, we are childhood sweethearts. There is absolutely no other possibility." .”

Cai Yong frowned, as the leader of the world's literati, he certainly attached great importance to principles.

Is it really so innocent?

Innocent to the extent of meeting in private?

Yuan Tan observed his expression, and said again: "That's it. I heard that you have aged me several times. I'm too busy, so I'm sorry. Today I specially took time to visit you."

Seriously said: "You see that you are not here, my younger sister, as the host, received me generously instead of you. How magnanimous this is, she is a talented woman in the world comparable to celebrities."

He was full of disappointment when he said this, "We just said a few words, your old thoughts are too annoying..."

"This..." Cai Yong blushed, and now he felt that he shouldn't be so suspicious of Yuan Tan.

Even if Yuan Tan is doubtful, he can't doubt his daughter, right?

Heaved a sigh of relief, and then said with embarrassment: "I misunderstood, my lord, you came just in time. I have a few famous people from the Central Plains here to visit you."

Yuan Tan immediately said seriously, "Who are they?"

"Among them are Chen Jiao from Xuzhou and Zhang Ji from Yongzhou, both of whom are very capable..." Cai Yong said.

Both Chen Jiao and Zhang were famous officials in the internal affairs of Cao Wei in history, and they were very talented in governing the region.

Obviously, Yuan Tan's record made the Yuan family's prestige far surpass the history of the same period, and it was even more valued by scholars.

These people did not go to Cao Cao's place, but came here instead, and he immediately paid attention to it, "Thank you, Mr. Cai, for the introduction."

Of course, he also knew that Cai Yong was among the talented people who came to vote.

To know that the living Cai Yong is definitely the brightest old star among the literati of the Three Kingdoms.

This is a banner. Although the influence is invisible, it is everywhere.

Let’s say Dong Zhuo took the initiative to get close to Cai Yong in order to adjust his own image.

"My lord, please..." Yuan Tan made arrangements.

Follow Cai Yong to leave.

Yuan Tan also followed, and suddenly felt someone kicked his ass.

Xiao Yu is still standing still, her thoughts are messed up, she can really talk nonsense...

...

night.

Yuan Tan returned to his Divine Strategy Mansion.

Today's dinner at the Cai Mansion was actually a recruitment site, and he was a big success.

Although Chen Jiao and Zhang Ji were not talented prime ministers, they also had the ability to be ministers.

It's not good to poach dad's corner like this, but why are you so happy in your heart?

Can't help humming a ditty.

Passing through the corridor, I suddenly found that the lights in Guo Jia's room were still on.

He sniffed his sleeves and found that the smell of alcohol had dissipated, so he went into the house.

"Bong Xiao."

"Young master!" Guo Jia hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Overtime has added panda eyes.

Yuan Tan felt very sorry for him, "Feng Xiao, I have really suffered for you. You see, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and the others also have a companion, and I have you as one of my subordinates who can take care of the paperwork."

"But it's all right now, I've found two helpers for you."

"helper?"

Yuan Tan checked his words and found that Guo Jia was not complained about the separation of powers at all.

In fact, Guo Jia is very clear in his heart that there will be more and more foundations in the future, and it is certainly impossible for him to be alone.

And like a tired dead dog, he has long wanted to add manpower.

"I don't know who it is?"

"Zhang Ji and Chen Jiao."

Guo Jia was really surprised, but he didn't expect it to be two celebrities.

These two people did not go to join Yuan Gong, but came down to Yuan Tan's place instead, obviously the same as his original thought.

"I've heard that these two people are very capable, and the subordinates should let the virtuous."

"What's so good? You have no confidence in yourself?" Yuan Tan showed dissatisfaction, and it was impossible to let go of his laziness, "They are just your assistants..."

He walked to the desk, sat down, picked up the teapot, made himself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp, "We are about the same age, we are inseparable for the rest of our lives..."

In his heart, these two people could not be compared with Guo Jia.

"Young master..." Guo Jiana bowed his head, and the dark circles around his eyes seemed to have faded a lot.

Yuan Tan saw that the bridle was getting tighter, so he got up, "Tomorrow there will be manpower, and the work efficiency will be doubled. Don't do it today, take a good rest."

he's gone.

Guo Jia got up, sat back, and continued to work seriously.

three days later.

In the front of Shence Mansion, a quiet courtyard is where Guo Jia and the others work during the day.

"Young master."

When Guo Jia, Zhang Ji, and Chen Jiao saw Yuan Tan coming, they hurriedly stood up to greet him.

The three of them are capable people, so after a little getting used to, they already have a tacit understanding at work.

Yuan Tan looked at the data with his intelligent eyes.

Guo Jia: Strength 33, Intelligence 99, Loyalty 100.

Zhang Ji: Strength 56, Intelligence 82, Loyalty 91.

Chen Jiao: Strength 47, Intelligence 80, Loyalty 92.

For the newcomers Zhang Ji and Zhang Ji, this loyalty is still very good, which shows that they have a sense of belonging and satisfaction here.

Today, Guo Jia and the others are coordinating and arranging the money and food expenditure of the Shence Army.

Yuan Tan looked at more than a dozen large wooden boxes in the room, all of which were rolled bamboo slips, then picked up one and said, "The work is very heavy..."

"Don't worry, Eldest Young Master, we will be able to finish the liquidation in two days." Guo Jia, as a military adviser, reported with a little pride in his words.

You know, they are just three people. For the average person to complete such a workload in five days, at least a dozen people are needed.

Yuan Tan opened the bamboo slips and saw that they were full of arithmetic calculations.

In other words, the dozen or so large wooden boxes and the thousand-jin bamboo slips were all calculating numbers.

In fact, at the end of the Han Dynasty, people had already made great achievements in mathematics.

For example, the mathematics classic "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" is very rich in content. The whole book summarizes the mathematical achievements of the Warring States, Qin, and Han Dynasties.

At the same time, "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" also has its own unique achievements in mathematics. It not only mentioned the problem of fractions for the first time, but also recorded problems such as surplus and deficiency.

And capable people like Guo Jia understand this.

In Yuan Tan's view, the calculation of these quantities was very simple for Guo Jia and the others, but they used thousands of catties of bamboo slips.

If there are some problems, just search again, I am afraid it will take a day.

So heavy, the problem is not in the mathematical ability, but in the way of writing.

Using seal characters to calculate a large number, you can't write down thousands of characters.

Shaoqing.

After Yuan Tan came back from the outside,

"Feng Xiao, Ji Bi (Chen Jiao), De Rong (Zhang Ji)."

He happily waved the chart in his hand, which was as long as a vision test chart.

Guo Jia's eyes were immediately attracted to them.

"This paper is really exquisite, even the most luxurious Luoyang paper can't be compared. But what is it painted on? Why did the eldest son draw so many little tadpoles?" Guo Jia was full of question marks.

Chen Jiao was also surprised, "There are also many horizontal bars and crosses..."

Zhang Ji was shocked and said, "What is the symbol of the two hammers on the bar? And these forks..."

Obviously, the celebrities of the Three Kingdoms are a little confused, and they don't understand why such precious paper is wasted to draw such messy things.

"My lord, what is this?" Guo Jia asked cautiously.

Yuan Tan was almost dancing, feeling very excited about his whim, and said vigorously: "This is Arabic numerals!"

"???" Guo Jia and the others looked at each other, what is Arabic number?
