At this moment, the scholars and students of Da Qi were all staring at the open book in the little girl's hand.
Seeing that the opened book was as white as the outside, everyone was amazed again.
It was just an opened book, and they didn't recognize anything inside it. They only recognized what was written on it.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eighty, nine, ten.
But they were completely confused by the strange and weird things that looked like ghost drawings below.
At this time, a young official said, "Those strange numbers that look like scribbles, could it be that they also correspond to the numbers above, but using a new font?" As he spoke, he pointed to the order in which the numbers in front were arranged.
“What nonsense!”
The young official was refuted as soon as he finished speaking.
The one who refuted him was the most prestigious Grand Tutor in the court.
The young official was slightly stunned when he heard the voice of the Grand Tutor. Then he looked at the Grand Tutor, bowed to him, and said, "I am a humble official with limited knowledge and talent. I would like to ask for your guidance, Grand Tutor."
The Grand Tutor is the emperor's teacher. Although he is over 70 years old, he still stays in the court and assists the emperor wholeheartedly. It is easy to imagine the respect that everyone in the court has for the Grand Tutor.
When the young official heard the voice of the Grand Tutor at this time, he naturally thought that he was wrong.
The Grand Tutor looked at the young official who was bowing to him, reached out and patted him, signaling the young official to stand up, and then said, "I have read all kinds of books and have never seen such a font, so it cannot be a word."
The other officials who heard the Grand Tutor's words all agreed, saying, "Indeed, I've never seen such handwriting before." Hearing the other officials' approval, the young official's face flushed, and he secretly sighed, "Why don't you think before you speak?"
At this time, the Grand Tutor looked at the strange symbols inside the black object, some of which looked like sticks and some like ears, and continued, "That thing might be some kind of secret code of their Flower Country."
While everyone was looking at the screen to figure out what the code was, Xiao Roubao had already taken out the early education book and showed it to Lu Suisui. She recognized the numbers at the bottom but not the ones at the top.
Lu Suisui tied an apron and was about to show off her skills when she suddenly felt a pull from behind. She turned around and saw Xiao Roubao holding the early education book and wanted to ask her a question.
She looked at the early childhood education book in the little meat bun's hand, turned around and squatted down. Before she could say anything, she heard the little meat bun say in a baby voice, "Auntie, auntie, what's the word above this 1?"
Lu Suisui picked up the early education book she bought for Xiao Roubao and found that the book actually listed the uppercase and lowercase letters of numbers from 1 to 10 side by side. For example, the uppercase and lowercase letters of 1 were listed as one, Yi, and then the Arabic numeral 1.
Looking at the little Roubao who looked anxious to know the answer, Lu Suisui pinched her chubby face, then pointed to the Arabic number 1 on the early childhood education textbook and asked, "Little Rou, can you tell me what number this is?"
"Auntie, auntie, I know, this is 1." The little meat bun, who knew the answer, jumped and answered excitedly.
"What about this one?" Lu Suisui said, moving her finger to the number one in the second row.
The little meat bun looked at the words he didn't know and wrinkled his little fat face anxiously. He said in a baby voice, "I don't know."
Looking at the anxious little guy, Lu Suisui smiled and said softly, "Then Auntie will tell Xiaorou, Xiaoroubao, remember to come, okay!"
"Okay." Looking at the little guy who nodded repeatedly and said okay with his little mouth, Lu Suisui smiled and shook his head.
Said "This is also 1, but it is a capital 1"
As she spoke, she continued to move her hand to the number one in the first row and said, "This one is also a 1, but this 1 is the first one to come out."
Looking at the little chubby girl with two buns on her head and a chubby face who was listening to her talk, Lu Suisui felt that her heart was melted by the cuteness of the little guy. She felt itchy and continued to pinch the little guy's chubby face, looking at the little guy's eyes that disliked her for disturbing her thinking.
Lu Suisui coughed, then secretly retracted his restless claws and continued to point at the early childhood education book and said, "Little Meat Bun, do you want to know why the numbers change?"
Seeing the little guy nodding his head expectantly, Lu Suisui smiled mischievously, pointed at her fair cheek and said, "Little meat bun, give auntie a kiss, and auntie will tell the little meat bun, okay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl, who smelled of milk, rushed into her arms and bit her face.
Touching his wet face, Lu Suisui smiled helplessly and sighed, "It's all my fault."
Lu Suisui picked up the little meat bun and put her on the sofa. Then, looking at the little meat bun's expectant eyes, she pointed at the number on the early childhood education book and said, "This one is the first one that came out. Then one year, an emperor found out that someone used that one to make false accounts, cheated many people, and caused many people to starve to death. After that, the emperor found out, he invented the second number one.
”
"At the time, we thought of using this kind of numbers because it was easy to use and less likely to make mistakes, like mistaking one for two. Then, a few hundred years later, the numbers we use today appeared."
"The numbers we use now were brought from a place called Arabia, so our current numbers are also called Arabic numerals."
Looking at the confused little Roubao, Lu Suisui continued to ask, "Does the little Roubao know why Arabic numerals are used now?"
Looking at the little fellow with a hair on his head that was still fluttering and a confused look on his face, Lu Sui Sui almost laughed out loud. She suppressed her laughter and said, "It's mainly because Arabic numerals are easy to write, and combined with the decimal calculation method, it is very convenient for calculation and is more suitable for you children to learn.
The author has something to say:
There's another one
Also, please don't go into too much detail. I couldn't find a lot of information, so I could only make it up. My main purpose was to get them to start using Arabic numerals.
The next chapter begins learning to use Arabic numerals.
