Traveling through time with a house, I teach people all over the country how to farm

Chapter 155 Addition, Multiplication and Division Table

Zheng Sisi still made the same request, asking them to stretch out their hands so she could see.

Zheng Sisi walked over and saw that several people had calluses on their hands from doing farm work.

When the last person was checked, he was a young man in his mid-twenties. He looked strong, but he did not have as many calluses on his hands as his peers.

Zheng Sisi asked him puzzledly: "Are you doing farm work? Why are the calluses on your hands all new?"

The young man said ashamedly: "Girl, I'm sorry, I haven't been doing farm work for a long time. I used to be a scholar, but I have always had bad luck and failed the exams many times.

Because my studies have become a burden to my family, my parents passed away two years ago. After my eldest brother and his wife took over the family, they were no longer able to support my studies. There are many brothers, nephews and nieces in the family, and the family income is limited. Last year, my wife also passed away after catching a cold. I really had no choice but to learn how to farm.

Later, my brother and sister-in-law despised my bad luck, so they teamed up to knock me unconscious and sold me to a trafficker. Girl, I am not cheating people sincerely. I can farm and I will study hard to farm. Please buy me."

After hearing this, Zheng Sisi also felt that his luck was indeed very bad. She thought about it and thought it would be a good idea to leave a scholar to farm the land. At least he could write and do math, and some things could be handed over to him to do in the future.

Zheng Sisi said to Grandma Zhou, "Grandma Zhou, I want all these people. Please calculate how much silver they cost."

Grandma Zhou thought she would take the last one back, but the county lady wanted all of them. She said, "County lady, a strong man is 20 taels of silver, an older man is 18 taels of silver, and there are five strong men here, a total of 136 taels, please give me 120 taels, and forgive me for not being thorough."

Zheng Sisi was not polite and said, "Thank you, Grandma Zhou. I'll come to you if I need someone."

Nanny Li directly gave Grandma Zhou 120 taels of silver and took the indentures of seven people.

After Grandma Zhou Ya left, Zheng Sisi said to the seven people, "Welcome to join the County Lord's Mansion. You will follow me to farm in the future, but my requirement is that you must follow my arrangements. It may be different from your previous farming methods, but it will be easy as long as you are willing to learn. As long as you farm seriously, I will not treat you unfairly."

Zheng Sisi said to Li Ma, "Li Ma, first arrange their accommodation and clothes, and then arrange for Uncle Ma to take them to the back garden to familiarize them with the environment.

Tomorrow I will take Uncle Li and half of the people with me to the farm, and the other half will stay in the mansion and follow the servants who know how to farm to take care of the vegetable seedlings in the back garden."

Madam Li: "Yes, Lady."

Nanny Li led the people away, and Zheng Sisi returned to the yard when she was fine.

Watching Dongzhi and others packing their luggage, she didn't disturb them. They wouldn't listen if she asked them to reduce their luggage anyway, so she just let them do what they wanted.

Zheng Sisi came to the study, where Chuntao had collected many books, which looked really real when placed on the bookshelf.

Zheng Sisi sat at the desk, ground ink, spread out paper and started writing.

She almost felt dizzy when she looked at the account book kept by Manager Cui yesterday. It was all traditional Chinese characters, and the numbers were also in traditional uppercase, which was very inconvenient for calculations. She planned to convert the traditional Chinese numbers into Arabic numerals, and then teach them the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division formulas, which would enable them to calculate quickly.

She first wrote out the traditional Chinese numbers from zero to nine, then wrote the simplified Chinese numbers below, and finally wrote the corresponding Arabic numerals below, which could be used for teaching comparison.

Then write down the addition table, subtraction table, multiplication table, and division table from memory, and express them in a format that uses the staircase diagram in the primary school textbook.

After this is written down, children in Zhuangzi can also learn to recite it when they go to school. As long as they remember the formula, it will be convenient to use it in the future.

After finishing writing, Zheng Sisi checked it one by one, and after confirming that it was correct, she planned to copy it a few more times.
