Yang Shang was an upright official in the Tang Dynasty. On one occasion, two small collectors in a subordinate department were promoted by rotation, and only one could be selected at that time. After investigating and appraising their qualifications, positions and achievements, it is found that their situation is the same and it is difficult to distinguish them. Who is more suitable for promotion? The official in charge of this work was so embarrassed that he couldn't make up his mind at the moment, so he went to Yang for instructions. After listening to the introduction, Yang Lan thought for a long time and finally came up with a method. He said: "One of the most necessary skills to do things is calculation. Now I will use a calculation problem to test their computing ability. " The question is this:

"At dusk, someone was walking in the forest and overheard several thieves sharing the spoils, probably stealing cloth. Only heard the thief say that if each person is divided into 6 horses, there are still 5 horses left; If everyone is divided into seven horses, there will be eight less. How many pieces of cloth did the thieves divide? "

Yang told this question to two candidate collectors and asked them to write it down on the spot and calculate it on the stone steps of the hall. At the same time, Yang also announced: "Whoever answers correctly first will be promoted."

At this time, one of the small officials put forward the correct answer: "thief 13, cloth 83 pieces." So, he was immediately announced to be promoted. Yang also gained a good reputation for being honest, fair and meritocratic.
