"Could it be that the three princes think ~, are you really going to win~?" Before Emperor Xia could speak, Qin Xiang snorted coldly and spoke.

The young man smiled and said: "Win or lose, in fact, it doesn't matter, this competition is for exchange and learning, if you have to divide the superiority, but you have lost the original intention, presumably everyone present, you don't want to have to divide the winner or loser, right~?" ”

The young man said in one sentence, if this first game is won, where will they let this prince of Chu State talk so much here, the problem is that they have already lost one game, if they lose this next game, it will not only be their face, but the face of the entire Xia Kingdom, what will the people think when the time comes, what will other countries think------ Chu State only brought a few people to sweep the Xia Kingdom, is it a group of wine bags and rice bags in the Xia Kingdom~?

"What do you want~?" At this time, Emperor Xia was not suitable to speak, Qin Xiang pondered for a moment, looked at the young man and asked.

The young man looked at Emperor Xia and said: "As long as your country agrees to us a small condition, the subsequent competition will not be carried out again, after the handover of the city, our envoys will leave Xia immediately, I don't know what His Majesty the Emperor wants~?" ”

Although he didn't want to admit it, if he continued to compare, Xia Guo's loss of face would only be greater, and Emperor Xia looked at him and asked, "What are the conditions you said~?" ”

"It's very simple~, it's just a small request~." The young man smiled and said: "There are many people in the mission~, stay in Kyoto for a long time~, the entanglement has been exhausted~, I just ask His Majesty the Emperor to give some food~, enough for the mission to return to the country~." ”

"As long as the food~?" When the young man's voice landed, not only the expression on Emperor Xia's face was stunned, but the officials also showed an expression of disbelief.

The face of the country concerned still thought that the third prince of Chu would make any unreasonable demands, as long as it was a little excessive, even if His Majesty agreed, they would strongly oppose it.

But who would have thought that they had spent so much effort and were just asking for food......

All of a sudden, the expressions of the hundred officials looking at the three princes of Chu immediately underwent some subtle changes, and they all said that the three princes of Chu were the most capable of all the princes of Chu, and they were amazingly talented.

As if he hadn't noticed the strange eyes of the hundred officials, the young man casually pointed to the chessboard on the side and said: "The mission doesn't need much food, as long as His Majesty the Emperor sends someone to put one grain of rice in the first grid of this chessboard, two grains in the second grid, four grains in the third grid, and so on, only need to fill the three hundred and sixty-one squares on the chessboard~." ”

After the young man finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Xia with a smile, waiting for his reply.

Emperor Xia didn't reply immediately, looked at the chessboard on one side, and then looked at the young man, judging from the performance of the third prince of Chu State, he is definitely not an ordinary person, this competition, I don't know how long I have been planning, how can it end so hastily~?

Relying on the grain full of 361 chessboards to return to Chu State, I am afraid that they have already starved to death before they reach Chu State, right~?

"What do you think~?" Emperor Xia looked at the surrounding officials and asked.

Many officials are secretly happy in their hearts at the moment, and they didn't calculate that the three princes of Chu would be a fool, which is a great news for them, although some people suspect that there is fraud in this, but the other party just wants some food, just give it to him, a few bags of grain, what kind of conspiracy can he play~?

"Back to Your Majesty~, since the Chu State mission is so short of food, we naturally can't refuse, and we can't let the envoys of other countries starve, which is not in line with etiquette~." Lu Ming, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said with a smile.

"What Lord Lu said is very ~, if you refuse~, it will seem that I am stingy~."

"The third prince is not easy to come by~, why not meet his request~?"

……

……

Things turned around, and the courtiers smiled and spoke, they could use some grain to send the difficult Chu people away, and this deal was a good deal.

When the time comes, it can be said that the people of Chu are afraid, and they will go back to Chu after begging for some food, Your Majesty is merciful, and they have given them more, which not only saves face, but also sees the jokes of the people of Chu, why not~?

"Where is Dr. Guozi's Supervision Department~?" Emperor Xia pondered for a moment and suddenly asked.

When Zheng Saijiu heard this, he immediately stepped forward and said: "Back to Your Majesty~, except for Dr. Han~, all the doctors of arithmetic went to Li County's mansion to ask for arithmetic~, so they are not in the court~." ”

The reason why this Dr. Han came with him today was nothing more than to ask for a serious holy decree from His Majesty, otherwise he would not even be able to enter the door of the Chu family, Zheng Xijiu beckoned to the rear, and immediately a middle-aged man walked over quickly.

Emperor Xia regretted a little in his heart, if he knew that there was such a thing, he would have called Chu You today, he had never let himself down, with him, why should he worry about these things~?

"Do you know how much food they want~?" Emperor Xia looked at Dr. Na Han and asked.

Dr. Han pondered for a moment and said, "Back to Your Majesty~, it's only three hundred and sixty-one grids~, not a lot~." ”

Dr. Han looked at the chessboard, as a doctor of arithmetic, he naturally thinks more than other officials, the growth relationship of multiples, three hundred and sixty-one grids is actually a lot, but how big is the grain of rice, the number of rice in one stone is too much to count, even if it is less than three hundred and sixty-one grids, ten stones are still not satisfied, is it not enough to put 100 stones~?

Xia Guo is not short of 100 stone meters, and with this little thing, you can send the envoys of Chu State, and it can't be more cost-effective~.

The courtiers rarely held the same opinion on this matter, and Emperor Xia suppressed the only trace of concern in his heart and said, "Since this is the case, then ......." ”

The third prince of Chu still had a faint smile on his face.

The expression on Baiguan's face was also relatively satisfied.

Everyone is happy, and everyone is well.

"Wait a minute......."

The harmonious atmosphere was suddenly broken by a voice, and after everyone was stunned for a moment, they turned their heads to look in the direction from which the sound came.

The little fat man Li Bo, the king of Jin, stood at the door of the palace, and when he saw so many people in the hall looking at him, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, but he still forcibly mustered up his courage, interrupted Emperor Xia's words, and said: "Father~!" Don't promise them~! ”

In front of the envoys of the Chu State and the civil and military officials, Emperor Xia's words were interrupted by the King of Jin, but he was not angry at all, but his face showed a thoughtful expression.

The expression of the third prince of Chu moved slightly, and he looked at the little fat man standing at the door of the hall, and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin~, this is the court~, don't mess around~!"

The hundred officials reacted quickly, and they didn't care about the identity issue, and they all spoke out to stop it, this is a big bargain, you must not be disrupted by King Jin, and you may not be able to meet such a stupid prince next time.

Most of the officials were stopping King Jin, but a few of them changed their faces at the same time.

Qin Zhao, the secretary of the household department, Wei Wei, the secretary of the military department, the wine of the prince of the country, and the doctor of arithmetic, no one knows better than them how many incredible things are contained in this fat head.

"Bo'er~, come and talk~." Emperor Xia had a smile on his face, beckoned to King Jin and said.

Seeing that his father was not angry, King Jin put his mind at ease, walked over slowly, pointed to the young man, and said to Emperor Xia: "Father, don't be deceived by them, Mr. said, put three hundred and sixty-one chessboards full of grain, all the countries in the world add up, if you build a big warehouse to hold these grains, this warehouse should be three zhang long, two zhang wide, and as high as the sun ......." ”

The expression on the face of the third prince of Chu remained unchanged, but he sighed in his heart, and looked at the little fat man in front of him with serious eyes for the first time.

"There are~, there are so many~!" The priest of the country said in a trembling voice.

The face of Dr. Han, who spoke just now, turned white, and he only felt that his eyes were a little black, if it was just King Jin, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, but the problem was that what he said just now was "Mr. said".......

Mr. Xiao Jin Wang, who is not the unpredictable Chu County~?

How could a person like Xiao Jin Wang, who swept the country at the age of a naughty boy and made several arithmetic doctors extremely embarrassed, could talk baselessly?

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin is true~?" Qin Zhao, the head of the household, stepped forward and looked at Li Bo and asked eagerly.

"What Mr. said~."

Li Bo casually threw the pot to Chu Yun, with his current arithmetic level, he couldn't control such terrifying numbers, the granary with the sun so high, it felt scary to think about it.

"Dr. Han~, is this true~?"

"It's just a 361-grid chessboard~, is there really that many~?"

"What about the people of Guozijian~, stand up and say something~!"

……........

……........

After being silent for a while, seeing the faces of several important people, Baiguan finally reacted, but he still couldn't believe what King Jin had just said.

Three zhang long, two zhang wide, the granary where the sun is so high, who to bluff, the sun is ------ far away from here anyway, how is this number calculated by His Royal Highness the King of Jin~?

The only doctor in the court immediately became the focus of everyone's attention, and the doctor Han trembled and said: "Both~, since it is what Chu Xianzi said~, then~, there should be no mistake~." ”

"I'm glad I have ....... with me." Li Bo patted his buttocks, took out a booklet that was about to be torn out from his arms, dipped it in saliva, and flipped it quickly.

This booklet that Mr. customized for him is not only those strange problems, but also a very humane interspersed with interesting stories every few pages, which is undoubtedly a small island that can rest temporarily for the little Jin King who is often struggling in the sea of questions, so he still remembers the stories on it.

"Found it~!" King Xiao Jin finally turned to a page and presented it to Emperor Xia and said, "Father, you see~, this is here~." ”

Emperor Xia's eyes looked at the page opened by King Xiao Jin, and after a while, he brushed his sleeves and said: "It is a competition~, since there should be a beginning and an end~, if your envoys can't get together the food for the return trip~, I will send you to entangle~, tomorrow's competition will be as usual~, don't be too late~!" ”

With that, Emperor Xia walked out surrounded by several eunuchs.

The hundred officials who finally learned the truth only felt that their faces were a little hot, and they couldn't wait to eat the three princes of the Chu State alive.

Shame on you, it's a shame this time~!
