I want to do things on the Westward Journey

Chapter 171 The treasury doesn't have enough money!
Hearing the voice of the King of Wuji Kingdom, Chen Ling and Xiao Binger almost laughed out loud, but Xiao Binger turned around and said, "Your Majesty, what else do you want?"

The king of Wuji Kingdom turned pale, and said, "I said, two masters, what did you two come to the palace for? Aren't you going to tell me who is the woman in the painting? Why do you want to leave after eating? What do you think?" What kind of monk is he?"

Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Junior brother, we almost forgot about this matter, damn it! Your Majesty, let's not leave then. Let's talk about the woman in the painting first!"

The king of Wuji Kingdom was happy now, and said: "Master, can you tell me who this woman is? Where are we going to find it?"

"Haha, Your Majesty, don't be anxious yet," Chen Xiao said with a smile: "We, brothers and sisters, have come all the way to solve this big problem for you. Shouldn't Your Majesty express your gratitude?"

"This..." The king of the Wuji Kingdom was taken aback, and said, "Master, where did you two come from? You two have high names?"

Xiao Bing'er smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the two of us are from Lingshan. My senior brother's name is Pei Ruhai, and I'm his junior brother, and my name is Lu Zhishen."

The King of Wuji Kingdom frowned, thinking that these two names were really devoid of any literary talent, so he smiled and said, "Two eminent monks, do you really know who that girl is?"

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Of course it's true, but Your Majesty, if we say it, how can you thank us?"

The king of Wuji Kingdom was unhappy, but he said, "Two eminent monks, are you here to ask for alms?"

"That's right!" Xiao Bing'er said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this poor monk knows that this woman is very important to the prince, so if your majesty agrees to give us three thousand buckets of gold, my two brothers will tell the story of that girl. What do you think of the name?"

"What? Three thousand buckets of gold?" The king of the Wuji Kingdom stood up as soon as he heard this and said, "Master, are you kidding me? The treasury of my Wuji Kingdom only has a few dozen buckets of gold, and you actually want to ask for it?" Three thousand buckets?"

"Haha, Your Majesty, don't be anxious," Chen Xiao said with a smile: "My junior brother is also joking with you, please don't take it seriously! Since you can't give three thousand dou of gold, then we will ask for less, four How about a thousand buckets of gold?”

"You two monks are clearly here to mess around," the king of Wuji Kingdom said, "Master, there are no three thousand dou, so how can there be four thousand dou? If you two are here to play tricks on the widow, please leave." !"

Chen Ling and Xiao Binger laughed when they heard that, Chen Ling said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. How about this, if you don't have gold, then we will melt some white rice, what do you think?"

"Well, that's pretty much it," the King of the Wuji Kingdom softened a little and said, "Master, how much white rice do you want?"

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I won't say how much it is specifically. May I ask, Your Majesty, can you play chess?"

The king of the Wuji Kingdom said: "Yes, master, do you want chess? Then I will have someone prepare it right now. How many sets do you want, master?"

Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I don't want chess, but I want money!"

"You want money?" The king of Wuji Kingdom asked: "Eminent monk, you want money, why do you have anything to do with the chessboard?"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say. There are 71 squares on this chess board, including the river boundary, there are 72 squares in total. What the young monk means is that your Majesty, please follow the number of squares on the chessboard. Put one penny on the first square, two pennies on the second square, four pennies on the third square, and so on. What do you think?"

Xiao Bing'er almost laughed when she heard this. She thought to herself, senior brother, you are too bad. Are you trying to take away all the money from Wuji Country?
The key point is that the money in Wuji Country is not enough!
What Xiao Bing'er didn't expect was that the king of Wuji Kingdom laughed when he heard it, and said, "Master, is that what you want? Okay, I will satisfy you now! Come on, bring me 100 taels of silver." .”

A eunuch agreed, and after a while, he brought 100 taels of silver and put it in front of Chen Xiao. The king of Wuji Kingdom said: "Master, this is 100 taels of silver. One tael of silver in my Wuji Kingdom can be exchanged for a thousand Wen, so These 100 taels of silver are equivalent to [-] Wen, if there is more, I will give it to you, what do you think?"

Chen Ling and Xiao Bing'er looked at each other and smiled. They knew that the king of Wuji Kingdom didn't realize that this kind of grid was good, so they had to teach him a lesson.

Xiao Bing'er said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I think you should not be so generous and just follow my senior brother's words. I'm afraid your 100 taels of silver are far from enough."

"What? Not enough? Haha!" The king of Wuji Kingdom laughed out loud and said, "I mean Monk Pei Ruhai, why do you say that?"

Xiao Bing'er's face darkened and she said: "Your Majesty, I am not Pei Ruhai, my senior brother is Pei Ruhai, my name is Lu Zhishen!"

The king of the Wuji Kingdom looked a little embarrassed and said: "Monk Lu Zhishen, what do your brothers' names mean? You two are from Lingshan, why are these two names so ugly!"

Xiao Binger waved her hand and said, "Your Majesty, what does our name have to do with you? You should hurry up and follow my senior brother's orders!"

"Okay, okay," the King of Wuji Kingdom said with a smile: "In that case, you're welcome. Come on, please do what this monk Lu Zhishen, oh, no, it's monk Pei Ruhai, said!"

The eunuch and maid of honor agreed, and immediately went down to the hall to prepare. The king of Wuji Kingdom said: "Two great monks, can you tell me now, who is this woman?"

"Hehe, Your Majesty, I don't think this matter is in a hurry," Chen Xiao said with a smile, "Let's wait until the poor monk gets the money, Junior Brother, I'm getting hungry again, Your Majesty, can you get me some more food?" eat?"

The king of the Wuji Kingdom nodded and sent someone to get some more rice.Chen Xiao and Xiao Bing'er were not polite and ate hungrily.

Two hours later, an eunuch walked into the hall, came to the king of Wuji Kingdom, and said, "Your Majesty, something has happened!"

"Ah?" The king of the Wuji Kingdom was surprised and said, "What happened? How are you preparing the money that the master wants?"

The eunuch looked scared and said, "Your Majesty, our treasury doesn't have enough money!"

"Not enough money in the national treasury?" The king of the Wuji Kingdom became serious and said, "There are dozens of buckets of gold in the treasury, why can't the dozens of grids be filled? The first grid only costs one penny, and the second grid only costs two cents." Wenqian, the third grid only costs four Wenqian, how much does it cost in total? Are you trying to embezzle the gold from the treasury?"

"Your Majesty, I don't dare!" the eunuch said, "Although what you said is right, the money used for the first few squares is small, but in the end, we really don't have enough money!"
