Chapter 669
Jing Qiong sighed and said, "It's not easy to become a Khan? I have some problems that I can't solve."

"What do you mean, you need to solve problems when you are a Khan?"

Jing Qiong said: "The Khan asked us brothers ten difficult problems. The Khan said that as long as we solve all ten problems, we can become the next Khan. I have solved most of them, but there are some problems that I still can't solve. come out."

Tian Ya excitedly said: "Let's talk about it, I like solving problems the most."

Jing Qiong said: "The first question is that Khan said that he is old, his tongue is still there, and his teeth have been lost long ago. This question is simple. Fenghua Khan likes to eat mutton the most, but now his teeth are gone, and his tongue is fine. Taste the taste, so I searched for many ways to stew the mutton soft, and taste the deliciousness of the mutton without teeth. The next step is..."

"Are you stupid..." Tian Ya said depressedly: "Brother-in-law, this is the first time I suspect you, is this disrespectful?"

"It doesn't count this time." Zong Xin was also very depressed. This Jing Qiong was quite confident in herself. Where did this confidence come from?Doesn't he have any self-awareness?With such an IQ, do you want to be a Khan?Let alone Tianya, even Zong Xin wanted to scold him.

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while, and then said: "Brother... What does this sentence mean? I also think that Khan is greedy and wants to eat, but he has no teeth, so he can't eat. Isn't it like this when you are old?"

Tianya explained: "What Khan means is that the teeth are strong, but now there is not one left. The tongue is soft, and it is still built after so many years. If you want to make the country peaceful and long-term, you should not be too strong. On the contrary, the policy of Huairou can Let the country last."

Zong Xin nodded, what Tianya said made sense, he had taught Tianya about this before, he just remembered it.This is what Lao Tzu said to his student Chang Cong. The benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom. However, no matter how you look at it, this sentence makes sense. People should not be too strong.

Jing Qiong suddenly realized that this is the true meaning of this sentence. It was embarrassing for him to find the secret recipe for stewed mutton for so long, but in the end it was better to ask someone else for a few words.Sure enough, there are experts in the Central Plains. The strangest thing is...the person who answered this question was just a child.Could it be that my intelligence is not as good as a child in the Central Plains?
Tian Ya said: "If you have any other questions, please tell me. I think with your brain, if no one helps you, you will not be able to answer this question in your lifetime."

Jing Qiong said depressedly: "For the second question, Khan said that there are many stars in the sky, but there is only one moon."

Tian Ya thought for a while, and then said: "Brother-in-law, I never said that, what does it mean?"

"Don't talk about big or small." Ning An said depressedly: "Why do you usually call you, and call yourself Laozi in front of your brother-in-law?"

"I'm just a person, not what I mean." Tian Ya was also quite depressed, his sister was by his side, and he was always restricted.

Zong Dao: "Although there are many stars, the starlight is dim. Although the moon is few, it illuminates the earth. Everyone can see the stars and the moon, but only the moon can illuminate the world. In the imperial court, officials are like stars. There are bright and dark, and there are villains. Zhong, the emperor and the people can't tell who is good and who is bad, but the people know whether the moon is round or short. This is to let the Khan care about the people all over the world, and don't pay too much attention to these officials, because there are too many, to distinguish which is good and which It's too difficult to be bad, and it's useless."

"Is that what you mean?" Jing Qiong suddenly realized again, and then immediately said: "Khan's third question is that not all rivers will flow into the sea, but raindrops can fall on all lands. What does this mean?"

Zong Dao said: "Not all the voices and sufferings of the people can be conveyed to the Khan, but the policies of the Khan can be conveyed to all the people. This is to let you choose a good policy, and you can benefit the world."

"Oh~ I thought that Khan had never seen the sea in his life, so I wanted to go to the seaside to have a look. The Uighur territory has little rain, so I hope to build more dams to store rainwater..." Jing Qiong said depressedly: "It seems that I was wrong Yes. How many people enter Yizhou City every day?"

"Two people."

"How come there are only two people?" Jing Qiong said depressedly: "I sent people to count outside the city of Yizhou every day. Every day is different, and I don't know how to answer. But there are definitely more than two people."

Zong said: "Bullshit, one man and one woman. Could there be others?"

"Hey ~ makes sense." Although Jing Qiong was excited, because this group of people helped him solve many problems.But also very depressed, why are these people so smart?People from the Central Plains are not only good at drinking, but they are still sober after drinking so much, which is simply terrifying.

Jing Qiong asked nine questions in a row, all of which were easily answered.The others were not surprised either, because Zong Xin was characterized by a good brain, and these so-called problems were not worth mentioning in front of Zong Xin.Tianya rushes to answer some questions that are too simple. His desire to express himself is the strongest. As long as he knows the questions, he will never give others a chance.

Of course, these questions are actually quite difficult. If Jing Qiong hadn't met Zong Xin, he might not be able to answer them all his life.

Jing Qiong admired: "Listening to your words is better than reading a hundred years of books... These questions are so difficult, I didn't expect it to be so simple in front of you. I said that Khan would not ask boring questions for us to answer, but it turned out that they were all governing the country." Anbang's reasoning. You are not an ordinary person, these questions are definitely not something an ordinary person can answer."

Zong Dao said: "You can ask any person from the Central Plains to answer these questions. I am an ordinary businessman. I am not in good health. I fell ill in Dunhuang, so I was left behind by the army. If I am so powerful, Will the caravan abandon me and leave regardless of my life or death?"

"That's right..." Jing Qiong looked depressed, the water in the Central Plains is too deep, and I want to join the countryside.It’s no wonder that the Khans of the past were vassals of the Central Plains. An ordinary Central Plains person is so powerful. Isn’t the Emperor of the Central Plains even more powerful?If you really have a chance to become a khan, don't provoke the Central Plains. It is better to establish a good relationship with the Central Plains. You can learn culture from the Central Plains and buy silk and porcelain.Anyway, places like the Uighurs are dry all year round, and the Central Plains doesn't like these lands, so they probably won't take the initiative to attack them.

"There are ten difficult questions in total. Please help me solve them to the end. What is the last question?"

Jing Qiong said: "This question is the most strange. Khan asked a flower blooming on the top of Tianshan Mountain. What color is the flower. The top of Tianshan Mountain is extremely dangerous, and it is occupied by Heihan. They are all bandits and bandits. No one dares to go to Tianshan Mountain. The top of Tianshan Mountain is covered with snow all the year round, how can there be flowers on the mountain? The answer must be that there are no flowers. Khan said this on purpose, thinking that we will make up a color to deceive him. This is a wrong answer. Said No flower is right."

Tianya said helplessly: "I really doubt whether you can be a good khan. This question is clearly to test the courage of the successor. You have to go to Tianshan to know the color of the flowers on Tianshan. So no matter No matter how you answer it, it is wrong, you must bring a flower from the Tianshan Mountain down."

Zong Dao: "Tianya is right. This question is to prove your courage. Although I can tell you the color of the flowers on Tianshan Mountain first, you have to go there yourself."

"Are there really flowers on Tianshan Mountain?" Yaoyao looked at Zongxin with a surprised face, because Tianshan Mountain is in the territory of Yizhou, and everyone can clearly see the white snow on Tianshan Mountain. How could there be flowers in such a cold place? ?
Zong Xin nodded and said: "There are really flowers on Tianshan Mountain, and they are very beautiful white flowers. Originally, I wanted to set off to catch up with the caravan tomorrow, but now I have some interest in this matter, let's go to Tianshan Mountain too How? The flowers that bloom on the Tianshan Mountains have miraculous effects. They can beautify the face, delay aging, stop bleeding and relieve pain, nourish yin and strengthen yang. Both men and women eat this kind of flower. It is very good for many seriously ill people. "

"There...is there such a thing? Why didn't I know?" Jing Qiong said depressedly: "I'm a Uighur, right? I've never seen any flowers growing on Tianshan Mountain, how could you have seen them?"

"It may be that the Black Khans have been hiding this secret. They don't want the Uighurs to know about it, so they occupy the Tianshan Mountains and don't allow anyone to get close." Zong said: "This kind of thing is called Tianshan Snow Lotus, and the Black Khans occasionally pay tribute. To the emperor of the Central Plains, I believe that Khan still knows about this matter, but for the sake of the safety of the people, he deliberately did not announce it. After all, if everyone knew that the value of Tianshan snow lotus is so high, the people would flock to pick the snow lotus, but the Black Khan It is absolutely not allowed, so it will inevitably lead to a big battle. Besides, the truly top-quality Tianshan snow lotus will only grow on the most dangerous and steepest cliffs, and such places are definitely not accessible to ordinary people, and picking them is also extremely dangerous."

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly said depressedly: "Brother, why do you mention elixir? Everyone says that it will only grow on the most dangerous and steepest peaks or cliffs. Isn't there no elixir that grows in ordinary places? That's right. Isn't it a bit old-fashioned?"

"The thing is, there are animals even on the snow-capped mountains. If they don't grow in that kind of place, they will be eaten by the animals on the mountain as soon as they emerge, and they won't grow at all. So there are only dangerous areas where animals cannot reach. This kind of elixir can only be grown. Although old-fashioned, this is a fixed plot. Unless you kill all the animals on the mountain, this kind of thing can grow in ordinary places. But it is said that if there is no nourishment from animal excrement, only I'm afraid it will take a few days for a barren place like the snow mountain to grow anything."

Everyone nodded, Zong Xin's words still make sense.Could it be that those precious Ganoderma lucidum only grow in the steepest places on the cliffs? It’s not that they like this kind of place, it’s because only the Ganoderma lucidum growing there can survive, and ordinary Ganoderma lucidum has long been eaten up by animals.Animals are not stupid. They know that the food is delicious and nutritious, so they want to eat it even if it is dangerous.Only the kind of place that is really impossible to reach, the animals will give up.

"Tianshan snow lotus... the name sounds good, how does it taste?" Yaoyao is also very concerned about this kind of thing, because Zong Xin said that Tianshan snow lotus can be housed and nourished, delaying aging, which is tantamount to preserving youth.Although they have all drank unicorn blood, which can prolong their youth by 20 years, but which woman thinks there is too much youth?What's more, this thing can be beautiful, of course it is worth the risk.Women can do anything to be beautiful.
