《汉书·传·杨胡朱梅云传》
我听说齐桓公时有人以 九九算法 求见的，齐桓公没有拒绝他，目的是想以此招来进献大事的人。
臣闻齐桓之时有以九九见者，桓公不逆，欲以致大也。
I heard of the time when somebody asked to see Duke Huan of Qi with the method of nine-nine computation. Duke Huan of Qi did not refuse him, because he wanted to attract people who would present him with more important matters.
