Li Chunfeng wrote Qin Mu's method of solving the problem word by word on paper, and when he observed it carefully, he was astonished, "What kind of mind is this that can think of such a method so easily."

As he spoke, Li Chunfeng's eyes fell on Qin Mu, full of respect.

Qin Mu didn't take it seriously when he heard the exclamation of the people in the hall. It really wasn't because he deliberately pretended to be forceful. For him, this question was really not difficult.

It's just an interesting arithmetic problem, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion.

Qin Mu cupped his hands, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, it's just that I just happened to think of a simpler method."

Qin Mu said modestly, the civil and military officials respected Qin Mu even more.

No matter what he did, how much credit he made, Qin Mu would never be arrogant.

"Emissary Tashi..." Li Er cast his eyes on a certain place in the hall, and called quietly.

"Your Majesty, the envoy is here." Tashi hurriedly got up from the futon and walked into the hall, his forehead was covered with sweat, the situation reversed too quickly.

Li Er's eyes were scornful, and he said in a low voice: "Do you feel that the answer given by the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty is satisfactory? Can you solve this problem that has plagued you for more than ten years?"

"Satisfied, really very satisfied." Tashi smiled all over his face, bowed his head and said: "My son-in-law is literary and martial arts, talented and intelligent, and the envoy deeply admires him."

Tashi is very smart, he knows how to advance and retreat, if he is stubborn at this time, it will be a bit too shameful.

"Hehe..." Li Er couldn't restrain the joy on his face, "It's good to solve your Tubo problems. I have a vast empire in the Tang Dynasty, and you are guests from afar. I will reduce the cost of solving the problem." .”

"Next time, if there is another problem like this and I have to solve it with Datang, I will charge you Tubo."

Tashi smiled awkwardly, "Thank you Your Majesty for your grace."

He was glad that he didn't bet with Li Er this time, otherwise he would have to lose something.

Looking at Li Er's proud face, Tashi felt unwilling, if he went back to Tubo like this, Zanpu would have to skin him.

Immediately afterwards, Tashi raised his eyes slightly, thinking about his heart, stepped forward and cupped his hands, hesitant to speak, "Your Majesty, my envoy..."

At this time, Li Er was in the midst of the spring breeze. Seeing Tashi's appearance, he waved his hand indifferently and said, "Messenger Tashi, what difficulties do you have in Tubo? some price."

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er was so shrewd. He could see at a glance what evil thoughts Tashi had moved.

But this time, he must make Tashi pay some price.

Otherwise, his face as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would be too easy to refute.

"Your Majesty, after the Cuju competition and the distribution of cattle, the envoy has seen the erudition and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and benefited a lot."

"But the envoy still has a request from Zanpu, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Tashi showed sincerity, humble attitude, and lowered his figure.

"Hehe..." Li Er smiled complacently, and pondered: "The envoy of Tashi doesn't need to be formal. If there is anything, it's okay to say. If I can help, I will help. If I can't, I can only help."

After the problem of dividing cattle, Li Er has become shrewd, who knows what kind of pit Tashi will dig to trap him.

Before he asked the question clearly, he would not easily agree to Tashi.

Tashi replied: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Your Majesty knows that Tubo is located in a plateau that is rich in cattle and sheep but lacks food. What Zanpu meant was whether some cattle and sheep could be exchanged for Tang's corn."

"That's it?" Li Er was puzzled, and then said: "I thought it was a big deal, cattle and sheep are exchanged for corn, it's a trivial matter, I don't know how the Tashi envoy wants to exchange it?"

Hearing this, the corners of Tashi's mouth raised slightly, and then sank down, pretending to be sincere, "I, Tubo, would like to give [-] sheep and [-] cows in exchange for the grain of the Tang Dynasty."

"Three thousand sheep, one thousand cows..." Li Er murmured, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know how much corn the envoy Tashi wants to exchange for."

"Hehe..." Tashi smiled, and took out a wooden plate engraved with 64 grids from the desk next to him, "Your Majesty, there are 64 grids on this wooden plate."

"You just need to put 1 corn in the first square, 1 corns in the second square, 2 corns in the third square, and 2 corns in the fourth square. In this way, the number of corns in each square It is the 3-fan instant of the previous frame."

"Weichen can only exchange for the corn calculated from these 64 grids."

Li Er was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, I thought how much corn you would exchange, and besides, the corn is not counted by grain. The Tashi envoy wanted to apologize to me, so he directly sent the cow Wouldn't it be better for the sheep to contribute to the Tang Dynasty, why use this little trick to fight for face."

"Tubo pays tribute and pays homage to the Shang Kingdom. I should give rewards. This corn will definitely come more than you ask for in this way."

There are 64 grids in total, and the fourth grid is only 8 grains of corn. Li Er really didn't take it seriously, he just thought it was Tashi who found a way for Tubo to go down.

After hearing this, the officials in the palace didn't take it seriously, and called Tashi ignorant. Li Chunfeng frowned, thinking secretly.

"Hehe..." Tashi continued to smile and said, "What Your Majesty said is true, but the envoy is still willing to use this method to ask for some corn."

He didn't forget to glance at Qin Mu after he finished speaking, seeing that Qin Mu didn't have any doubts, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Tashi was already secretly happy that this matter will be recovered.

Chapter 123: When will the count be over, and when will the game be over?

Li Er had no choice but to shake his head and said with a smile: "Since Envoy Tashi is so persistent, then I will use this wooden plate to pack corn as you said, until you are satisfied."

Regarding this matter, Li Er was disdainful, and he didn't think much about it. A wooden plate allows you to load as much as you can, how much can it hold?

On the side, Tashi glanced at Qin Mu again, seeing that he was indifferent, he was ecstatic, and the opportunity for a comeback came.

Immediately afterwards, he stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty speaks a golden word, and you must do what you say. The envoy represents the people of Tubo and Zanpu to thank Your Majesty."

Seeing Tashi's appearance, Li Er couldn't help frowning. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell. Syria."

After saying that, Tashi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, let's settle the matter of the corn together today, and it won't take much time. The envoy will leave for Tibet tomorrow."

If this matter is not settled today, when Li Er reacts, I'm afraid he will renege on his debt.

"Going back tomorrow?" Li Er was puzzled, and then said: "Okay, since this is the case, I will give you this corn today, and someone will go to the granary to fetch two bags of corn for the Tashi envoy to bring back to Tubo."

Hearing this, Tashi didn't say a word, they will be surprised later.

Qin Mu didn't answer from the beginning to the end, and didn't even look at Tashi, but he had already made up his mind.

He didn't need to look at Tashi's flamboyance, so he could grasp it firmly.

For a moment.

Two soldiers carried two bags of corn into the Hall of Liangyi.

Li Er looked at the millet, then at Tashi, and pondered: "Messenger Tashi, this corn is brought here for you, I don't bother to count it with you, I will reward you for the rest."

Hearing these words, laughter came one after another in the court hall.

"I don't know what Tashi is thinking. The corn is counted by grain. Could it be that they are so short of food in Tibet?"

"Three thousand sheep, one thousand cows... It would be great to directly pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty. I have to exchange some corn, and there are odds and ends. The idea of ​​​​the Tibetans is really intriguing."

"If Tashi's envoy is too small, the veteran will pay for it himself, and add five bags of corn to Tashi's envoy, hahaha..."

Many ministers in the DPRK and China showed disdainful expressions towards Tashi.

Hearing their ridicule, Tashi was unmoved, and even wanted to laugh, "Your Majesty, you should count the number of people. Before visiting Datang, Zanpu had explained that the corn must be harvested one by one. Counting to show sincerity, this is also the custom of Tubo, we must not take advantage of His Majesty because of this, but also to show Zanpu and Tubo's respect for His Majesty."

As the saying goes, don't hit people with smiling faces, Tashi said that for this sake, Li Er has to show the stomach of the emperor of a big country, so it is not good to refute Tashi's face.

Li Er picked up the cup and took a sip, and said calmly: "In that case, I will follow you, come..."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Mu suddenly stood up, "Wait a minute..."

Li Er frowned, turned to look at Qin Mu, and said quietly, "Qin Mu, why did you interrupt me?"

Hearing Qin Mu's sudden opening, Tashi was also taken aback: Did he notice it again?How can this be?

Qin Mu didn't answer Li Er, but turned his gaze to Tashi's face, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I suggest that the envoy Tashi himself count the corn grains. Wouldn't it be more sincere?"

"Of course, if the Tashi envoy can't count, the corn grains can't be taken away."

As soon as these words came out, Tashi's face, which was still smiling, instantly darkened.

Done!

Li Er looked at Qin Mu, then at Tashi, his expression gradually becoming playful.

Damn!Was cheated by this guy again?

"Okay." Li Er said calmly, "According to what the son-in-law said, the corn is counted by the Tashi envoy himself. This is indeed more sincere."

"In order to show more sincerity, everyone don't leave today, just watch Tashi's envoy count, when will he finish counting, and when will he leave."

After Li Er finished speaking, regardless of Tashi's face, he turned his head to the side.

"Wang De."

"I'm humble."

"Let the imperial dining room prepare some late-night snacks, and today I'm going to have a drink with all my lovers in the Hall of Liangyi."

"Impossible to take orders."

Tashi listened to Li Er's words, his face turned green, and he counted the grains one by one, when would it be counted?

Today was a failure, he didn't expect Qin Mu to be so proficient in this kind of problem.

"What's wrong with Tashi Messenger?" Li Er narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Tashi and said in a cold voice: "It's not that you are hiding something tricky here, trying to deceive me, right?"

Tashi looked at Li Er and was a little lost, unable to think of a perfect solution for a while.

boom!

Li Er angrily slapped the copy, and scolded: "I asked you something, why didn't you answer it!"

Tashi was startled by Li Er, and he knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty is very aware, my little envoy, how dare I play tricks with Your Majesty."

Li Er snorted coldly, "In that case, you should quickly count the millet."

He didn't ask Qin Mu carefully, he just wanted to see with his own eyes what the hell this Tashi was doing.

"It's Your Majesty, the envoy is taking orders." Tashi sighed helplessly, but he didn't expect to shoot himself in the foot.

Now that he has no way to retreat, he has no choice but to bite the bullet.

For a moment.

The Hall of Liangyi was filled with wine and dishes, and Li Er and the civil and military officials exchanged cups and toasted frequently.

Smelling the aroma of food, Tashi counted the corn all by himself in the hall.

1 capsule, 2 capsules...32 capsules, 64 capsules, 128 capsules...

When Zhaxi counted to the 13th square, everyone was surprised to find that the total number of corn kernels had reached 8192.

Li Er looked at Tashi who was dizzy and tired like a dog, and his face was livid: His mother is really playing tricks with me, only 13 grids and 8192 grains, if it reaches 64 grids, I have to give up the granary in my palace Evacuated.

Cheng Yaojin looked at the gloomy Li Er with a smirk on his face.

Holding the wine jug, he wobbled towards Tashi.

Tashi plucked the corn one by one, muttering to himself, "7999,8000,8001, [-], [-]..."

"Hey, Envoy Tashi, would you like some wine..." Cheng Yaojin's cheeks were rosy, and his mouth was full of alcohol, "I told you about this wine..."

Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Tashi felt a little annoyed: Are you so stupid?Can't you see Lao Tzu counting meters here?Are you interrupting me?

"twenty three..."

Tashi ignored Cheng Yaojin and continued to count.

Seeing that Tashi ignored him, Cheng Yaojin picked up the jug and took a sip.

Before he could swallow the wine, he felt his nasal cavity itch, "Ah...ahhhhhhhhhh..."

He took a sip of the wine and sprayed it all on Tashi.

Tashi stood up, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and he stared at Cheng Yaojin in a daze: My god, your uncle, are you frankly suffering from some serious illness.

"Hehe..." Cheng Yaojin looked at Tashi with an apologetic expression on his face, wiped his nose with his right hand, then reached out to Tashi's shirt to wipe the wine for him.

Tashi looked at Cheng Yaojin's big snot touching his clothes unscrupulously, his face turned green.

Chapter 124: Do you really think that I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, has a good temper?

"General, what are you doing!"

Tashi's eyes were scarlet, almost collapsed, roaring at the top of his voice.

Holding the wine cup, Li Er looked at Cheng Yaojin in the hall, and couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "To deal with this guy, you have to play tricks with him. His mother plots against me again and again, and I can't kill you."

"Hey hey..." Cheng Yaojin smiled maliciously, "Emissary Tashi must not get angry, I didn't mean it, didn't I want to get you some wine? Who knew it would be like this .”

Tashi suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice: "General, I'll trouble you, please, please don't bother me anymore, okay?"

Today's matter, Tashi is angry and dare not speak out, he also knows that he can't count it all, but if he doesn't count until Li Er is satisfied today, Li Er will not let him go easily.
