"Horse bandits, I'd rather be horse bandits."

After another lonely night, Li Huaitang yawned, and for the first time he felt envious of the profession of horse bandits. Horse bandits, when they are full of food and sleep, sleep with the robbed women in their arms, and go to rob them if they don't have anything to eat, so they don't need to pay attention to the food, clothing and equipment of their subordinates. Where will it be like himself, facing a group of soldiers who drive him crazy during the day, and having to calculate and worry about their equipment and food and clothing in the future.

The tribe is growing, its strength is growing, but problems are also coming.

First of all, the population, the Ministry of Light has more than 4,000 people, almost all of them are strong men, and the population is extremely unbalanced. The women, only a pitiful dozen, were given to the meritorious soldiers.

The second is the equipment, the pack horses of the armed cavalry, spears and armor, longbows, horned bows of the light cavalry, arrows, all in a variety of things, but they cannot be ignored.

Finally, there is the food, which is the most important thing. The number of thousands of people who eat and drink every day is definitely a lot, although there is still a few nobles' warehouses that have scraped the king, there is no shortage for the time being, but there is always a time to sit and eat, according to the current consumption rate, it seems that the day is not far away.

"Woman, well, where are you going to rob it?"

Li Huaitang was distracted by a pancake and muttered to himself.

"Humph! Shameless, he thinks about robbing women all day long, and he is not idle when he eats. ”

The voice is sweet and familiar. Li Huaitang pulled back his distant thoughts, and Su Xiaoniang's pretty figure appeared in his eyes.

"It's just in time, Zi said: Three Zhuge Liang, oh, no, three stinkers are better than one Zhuge Liang. Tell me, where is there a woman to rob? ”

Li Huaitang was sick and rushed to the doctor.

"You?"

Su Xiaoniang was confused.

"There are palaces of the caliphate, and there are satrapy palaces in Samarkand, and there are many of them."

"This, I know that...... You, you're entertaining me! ”

Li Huaitang glared at Su Xiaoniang, picked up a sheepskin from last night, and continued to concentrate. Written on the sheepskin was a problem that he needed to solve.

"What is this? What woman, what? ”

Su Xiaoniang's courage became bigger and bigger, and she quietly walked behind Li Huaitang and peeked at the sheepskin in his hand. Some strange symbols came into her eyes: 1 woman? 2 martial arts? 3 grains?

"Stupid, this is the number one, which indicates the order, and this is a question mark, which means doubt."

Li Huaitang explained to Su, who was full of doubts, as a matter of course. This knowledge is like the instinct to talk and eat, Li Huaitang is innate with clothes, and for him, it is something that comes at his fingertips anyway.

"Numbers? Question mark? Anything else? ”

Su Xiaoniang's puzzled gaze wandered between Li Huaitang and the sheepskin.

"Yes, of course. You see, it's 4 ......., it's 10,11 ......"

"There are also symbols, this is a comma, the function, the function is mainly to prevent the reader from reading in one breath and losing his breath, this is a full stop......"

Li Huaitang was very proud, he could see it, the beauty didn't understand!

"Do you see my strengths? I didn't sleep all night to create it, let's call these Li Huaitang numbers and symbols. ”

Su Xiaoniang's eyes were shining, and she was very surprised, although these number symbols were simple, they were very practical. She couldn't believe that these unheard of things were actually from the hand of this person in front of her who only knew how to kill and rob.

"It's really you, you came up with it?"

"Nonsense, have you seen it before?"

Li Huaitang is a little weak-hearted, Su Zizi has never seen it, it doesn't mean that other people don't understand, such as Wumeng. However, Li Huaitang's worries are completely unnecessary, in history, the spread of Arabic numerals will have to wait for decades, which will be hidden in Tianzhu and not known to the world. As for punctuation, don't worry about it, if it weren't for Li Huaitang, even if Wumeng lived two more lives, he wouldn't have a chance to meet.

Su Zizi thought about it, books, she had read a lot, but she had never seen such a strange and novel thing, she didn't know much about Arabic numerals, but she was very profound about punctuation, and the more she read the book, the more profound it became. Punctuation not only speeds up the speed of reading, but also clarifies the meaning and helps to enhance comprehension.

"How? Do you feel admired? Want to talk about life with me? ”

Li Huaitang felt good and began to be shameless.

"The sheepskin is mine."

Su Xiaoniang ignored Li Huaitang's rudeness, snatched the sheepskin on the table, turned around and left.

"Hey, you! Grab my stuff, you female horse bandit......"

The sheepskin is gone, but this is not difficult for Li Huaitang. Here, paper is a luxury in short supply, and most of the time things are recorded in sheepskin, and Li Huaitang soon got another sheepskin and wrote down his questions. Later, we will have to discuss with the "foursome".

Li Huaitang didn't expect that the "foursome" was also interested in his number symbols, and it took a lot of saliva to make them understand.

"The general is indeed a divine envoy, who understands the unprecedented, and has never heard of it."

"The general is unparalleled in the world, and he will surely achieve great things."

"It's our luck to follow the general......"

The "Foursome" did not hesitate to praise them. Indeed, for them, both of these things are epoch-making and incalculable.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's see how to solve the problem."

Xiao Lizi hurriedly said, "General, have you forgotten those nobles in the city?" Isn't the woman in their family the most wealthy? ”

Ummon took over as well; "The problem of women, horses, weapons and armor and food cannot be completely solved at present, but those nobles can help a lot."

Li Huaitang groaned and looked out of the main hall, where a beautiful figure was busy under the flowers.

"Well, it's not that I don't want to, but I have to be famous, our Ministry of Light has always been very civilized, I'm afraid it's not good to rob the house?"

"Those nobles, do they have surplus? Didn't the big cannibals extort them all? ”

When the four of them heard this, they almost fell to the ground. As a leader, transformation can be so fast.

Umeng held back a smile and said with a strange expression: "Civilization, of course we are civilized. However, we only did what the king wanted, and the king said that these nobles secretly supported Dadu Mo and plotted to usurp the throne. It is already very merciful not to kill their heads, and raiding the house is just a slight punishment. ”

"As for the oil and water of those old foxes, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. Moreover, they have a lot more ability to hide wealth than the king, but if they don't kill a few to deter them, I'm afraid the effect will be less satisfactory. ”

"Since the will of the Holy Mind is difficult to violate, we are wronged. Big and small chestnuts, go, ask the king's will, and then set up a feast for guests. ”

Li Huaitang gave the order in a serious manner.

Today's weather is very good, the bright sun is warm, and the blue sky is pleasant. But for the nobles of Qishi City, their mood at the moment was just the opposite of the weather, they had just received the king's invitation, and there was a banquet in the evening.

What does the king mean by inviting them to a banquet at this time, is it to settle accounts after the autumn? The aristocrats were puzzled. As a result, many nobles visited each other under various guises, hoping to find a clue. Some people have already begun to complain of illness, and some people are packing up and saying that they want to go out to do business. The mountain rain is coming, and the sensitive people begin to cross the sea.

But there are also people who understand that it is a blessing or a curse, and that it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. Go, of course, there is nothing good, if you don't go, the crime will be great, and if you want to add the crime, why bother?

Sure enough, in the palace. The big chestnut was asking Li Huaitang for advice, and the little chestnut had already led someone to order the guards of the city gate.

Big chestnut asked worriedly, "What if they run away?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, the three city gates have been closed, and the little chestnut leads people to the only exit to wait for those fat sheep, and none of them can escape."

Can those who do great things not plan for a rainy day? Li Huaitang wanted to laugh.

"What if they pretend to be sick and don't come?"

"Just with my will, sentence me to death, behead and rob my home!"

Li Huaitang was confident and had an understatement expression.

Da Lizi was thoughtful, and suddenly remembered what Li Huaitang said about "civilization", and hurriedly asked: "What kind of crime?" ”

Li Huaitang pondered for a moment, and a smug smile appeared on his face, staring at the big chestnut and said; "Mo, must, yes."

"Ah....... this?"
