The emperor asked Mu Wei.
"Yes, five days."
Mu Wei said excitedly.
He didn't expect that the eternal problem he posed had stumped the students and doctors of the Imperial College, as well as the civil and military officials, but it could not stump a princess who came from a peasant family.
"Your Highness, how did you calculate that?"
Mu Wei asked Gao Zhijun curiously.
"This is a very simple question, because on the first day the snail climbed three meters and fell one meter, making it two meters. On the second day, it climbed three meters and fell another meter, making it four meters. On the third day, it climbed seven meters and fell another meter, making it six meters. On the fourth day, it climbed nine meters and fell another meter, making it eight meters. On the fifth day, it climbed out of the well and didn't fall again."
Gao Zhijun explained in detail.
"Brilliant! Truly brilliant! Princess is truly exceptionally clever. I admire you!"
"It turns out this problem can be calculated this way. It's simple and easy to understand."
Lord Mu said excitedly.
This method was simpler and easier to understand than he thought. He didn't expect the princess to be so smart and capable.
"Master Mu, your praise is too much. This is just a trivial skill of mine. How dare I show off in front of you, Master? I am really embarrassing myself."
Gao Zhijun said modestly.
In ancient times, the Imperial College's chief academic officer was a highly educated person. In front of outsiders, I was just a peasant girl, and my knowledge was definitely not as good as theirs.
In ancient times, when it came to learning, Gao Zhijun believed that one should hide one's shortcomings, otherwise one would not be able to explain them clearly.
"No, the princess's knowledge is superior to yours, and I admire you!"
These words came from the heart, and Mu Wei had no intention of flattering or currying any favors.
The princess's unique solution opened his eyes and was more enlightening than reading for ten years.
It was his own old-fashioned, pedantic and conservative nature that hindered his imagination.
"Alright, are there any other nobles who would like to ask questions? If not, the arithmetic contest is won by the princess."
The emperor asked the ministers.
Everyone looked at each other and could see from each other's eyes that no one had any problems to raise.
"Since no one has any math problems to solve, the winner this time is Princess Xiangyun!"
Seeing that the ministers remained silent, the emperor announced that Princess Xiangyun was the winner of the arithmetic competition.
"Congratulations, Princess. Congratulations, Princess, on winning again!"
"Congratulations, Princess, for winning first place!"
The ministers praised Gao Zhijun in unison.
The Queen asked her personal nanny to give the glass cup to Gao Zhijun.
"Princess, please accept this glass cup!"
The nanny held a golden tray with a glass cup on it and respectfully asked Princess Xiangyun to accept it.
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
Gao Zhijun asked Hongyue to accept the glass cup.
Hongyue walked to the Queen's personal nanny Tian, ​​respectfully took the glass cup, and then took it back.
Gao Zhijun looked at the glass cup with great concentration. It was a multicolored glass cup. The multicolored glass cup was like a gorgeous rainbow in the sky, bringing color to the world.
If this glass cup were brought to modern times, it would be worth at least 100 million.
Colored glaze is glass, but the technology used to make colored glaze in ancient times was not as crystal clear as modern glass.
If it were a glass teapot made in modern times, it would definitely be better than this.
Unfortunately, this is an antique, so it's very valuable, but modern glass is much cheaper. Unless, a thousand years from now, the glass becomes an antique, then it will be very valuable. That's a benefit only future generations will have; no one can live a thousand years.
After Gao Zhijun finished reading it, she showed it to Hong Qiujue and the others.
Here, colored glaze is extremely valuable and precious. Gao Zhijun thought she could open a workshop dedicated to producing colored glaze. No, more accurately, glass.
In modern times, she just happens to have this technology.
