Chapter 252: And Mud

"If there is a delay for some time when entering the customs, the wear and tear will be doubled, but if Daqi buys horses from the Chu State, when formulating the contract, the price must be clearly stated, as well as the responsibility of the Chu State to transport the horses, and in the end, of course, there is the most important compensation clause."

"If the state of Chu can't send the horses to my Daqi on time and in quantity, then how much will be compensated to us Daqi for each horse? This series of questions, regardless of whether the business can be completed in the end, must always be clearly explained in advance, right? ”

Luo Bi looked at Gu Banqin with an expression of listening to the book of heaven, Gu Banqin brought the abacus to Luo Bi again, crackling, counting.

Luo Bi really couldn't understand it, so he beckoned to Chu Xiaocheng and asked him to come forward to listen, Gu Banqin's words slipped away, and the abacus also slipped away, while fighting, he also looked up to observe Luo Bi and Chu Xiaocheng's expressions, and came to a conclusion in his heart: Aren't the people of Chu not good at counting?

“…… Therefore, if there is such an intention to do business, the contract must be settled, and if a horse is not delivered on time, it will be compensated at five times the price of each horse. You understand what I say, right? ”

Gu Banqin tried her best to say the words in a twist and turn, not to mention that Luo Bi and they couldn't understand it, but Gu Banqin herself was a little confused, but she was originally here to make peace with the mud.

Helian Hongyi didn't plan to ask her to really negotiate any deal, it was originally nonsense, just mess up this matter, but he didn't expect that the people of Chu couldn't count, but they had a studious heart, and the two immediately got together and counted Gu Banqin's accounts for a long time, but in the end they still didn't figure out how much.

However, Gu Banqin's words, they finally understood a little, that is, if they completely followed Gu Banqin's ideas, they sold horses to Daqi in Chu State, and came all the way through mountains and rivers, and it was very likely that they would not be able to earn a penny, and at the same time, they would have to compensate Daqi a lot of silver.

Helian Hongyi and Wang Shun's father-in-law played tricks from the beginning to the end, and Wang Shun's father-in-law's understanding of Gu Banqin seems to have gone to a higher level.

Gu Banqin's mouth was dry, he walked to Helian Hongyi's side, saw him holding the teacup but didn't drink it, looked up at himself, looking like a ghost, Gu Banqin winked at him twice, took the teacup from Helian Hongyi's hand, drank two sips to moisten his throat, put down the cup, and walked to Luo Bi and Chu Xiaocheng, who were still looking at the abacus and frowning and thinking, and continued:

"So, this deal can't stand up to scrutiny, and I found so many problems just when I mentioned it, if it is actually operated, there will only be more problems, isn't it?"

Luo Bi gave up anyway, looking at the abacus, his mind was hovering with Gu Banqin's previous grunt, and he looked up at Chu Xiaocheng helplessly, as if he wanted Chu Xiaocheng to give some hints.

Who knew that it was Chu Xiaocheng who was waiting for him, glaring suddenly, startling Luo Bi, remembering that now he is an envoy, Chu Xiaocheng is just the escort who came with him, and Gu Banqin is still smiling and waiting for them to reply, Luo Bi only feels that one head and two are big, as a military general who charges into battle, it is no problem to cut the enemy's head as a watermelon when he goes to the battlefield, but if he wants to settle accounts, he really has no talent.

"This ...... It sounds like that, but the concrete ......"

Luo Bi was in a dying throes.

Gu Banqin didn't wait for him to finish, then intercepted the conversation and said to Luo Bi: "Dingyuan wants to be specific, right?" Okay, then I'll make a specific calculation with you, you said that you are a good horse, two hundred taels a horse, isn't it, you want to sell 30,000 horses a year, how much silver does it add up? ”

This Luo Bi knew that before he came, he specially asked someone to tell him the price, and was about to say it, but he heard Gu Banqin calculate it at once: "It's six million taels, and the price I calculated before, plus ordinary expenses and losses, is three million two hundred and thirty thousand taels, and the difference with you is one hundred and twenty-three taels, thirty thousand horses is three million taels and three million taels is three million taels, and the total price is six million taels, minus three million six hundred and ninety thousand taels is equal to ......."

Gu Banqin was stunned for a moment, did a simple math problem, and immediately came to a conclusion: "It is equal to two million three hundred and one thousand taels, that is to say, in the end, it is very likely that you will get two three hundred and thirty thousand taels of horses, except for it, the actual price of each horse is ...... It's more than seventy taels, aren't you losing a lot of money? ”

"If we do this business with you, wouldn't it be a clear calculation of you and let you suffer, this kind of thing that harms others and is not beneficial to ourselves, our wise and martial emperor His Majesty disdains to do it." ”

Gu Banqin's mental arithmetic shocked the audience, and even Helian Hongyi couldn't help but walk up to her when Gu Banqin was calculating, staring intently at her side face, not to mention Luo Bi and Chu Xiaocheng.

Originally, mathematics was their weakness, and Gu Banqin crackled and calculated it so much, but in the end, they still didn't understand it, and they knew that the price of their good two hundred taels and one good horses became seventy-seven taels when they got to Gu Banqin, and the ghost knows what happened in the middle.

However, this logic doesn't make sense or another way, what surprised Luo Bi and Chu Xiaocheng was the mental arithmetic ability of this little concubine, you must know that in the territory of Chu State, those who can calculate the arithmetic so quickly are all master-level figures, and they have to cooperate with abacus and manpower to calculate it.

But she didn't have anything to do, so she blurted out these numerical answers, and since she dared to say it, it must be correct nine times out of ten.

After Gu Banqin finished the calculation, he looked at the few people around him all looking at him with a surprised face, Gu Banqin was shocked, and suddenly came back to his senses, all calculations in this era have to rely on the abacus, an ordinary multiplication, division, do they have to calculate it for a long time.

Accidentally, pretending to be B again?

Gu Banqin had no choice but to bite the bullet and put on a posture that we were accustomed to, our Daqi people are good at counting, and said to Luo Bi and Chu Xiaocheng, who were also frowning, indifferently:

"This account is clear, I also advise the Hou Ye, in the future, you must calculate the accounts clearly, this time the loss is to meet our emperor, our emperor has a good character, I didn't calculate you, but if you meet other people, you don't know the family that can make you lose. So don't mention this in the future. ”

Gu Banqin finished a set of broadcast gymnastics, completely led the enemy's thoughts into the ditch, and was about to retire, but couldn't help but turn around and say:

"Oh, by the way, what do you think about the emperor of Chu, knowing that there are not many wars now, and you still raise so many horses from your domestic horse farm? What you said just now is simply hacking your emperor's IQ, you have to be careful not to let anyone with a heart reach your emperor's ears, otherwise, the Hou Ye will probably not be able to eat and walk around. ”

Gu Banqin's poisonous words made Ding Yuanhou's face change, Helian Hongyi couldn't help but smile and pursed his lips, Gu Banqin glanced at him, and added another sentence to Ding Yuanhou, who had been speechless by her:

"However, if Hou Ye can't get along in Chu State, our Daqi welcomes Hou Ye at any time, isn't it the emperor? Shall we welcome Master Hou? ”

If Ding Yuanhou can't hear the sarcasm in Gu Banqin's words now, then he will be too dull, pointing at Gu Banqin, his face turned red, since the war went to the battlefield, no one dared to talk to him like this, he was speechless for a while, he couldn't speak, who knew that Helian Hongyi on the side still nodded thoughtfully:

"Hmm. Ding Yuanhou is a talent, and I naturally welcome it. ”

Dingyuanhou: Who wants you to welcome?

Lao Tzu is the marquis of Chu State, and he has a relationship with you!

The surging anger in his heart but nowhere to vent, Megatron's Dingyuan felt bullied, but reason told him that even if he was bullied, he couldn't find the field in person, after all, on other people's territory, if he didn't breathe, he could only hold it, and the taste of holding his breath was not comfortable.

Chu Xiaocheng coughed lightly, Ding Yuanhou turned his head to look at him, and received a glance of 'don't be impatient' and 'don't be impulsive' from Chu Xiaocheng.

Ding Yuanhou took a deep breath, and finally controlled his temper, who knew that Gu Banqin, who was evil-hearted, walked in front of Chu Xiaocheng with a sweet smile again, and circled around him with interest, Ding Yuanhou's heart was cold, Chu Xiaocheng was also full of defense, thinking that Gu Banqin had seen something, she suddenly turned around, pointed at Chu Xiaocheng at Helian Hongyi, and said loudly:

"And this guard, he looks very good, we welcome him."

Chu Xiaocheng and Luo Bi were full of black lines, staring at Gu Banqin's eyes and almost bursting out of sparks, but Helian Hongyi was kind, walked over, hugged Gu Banqin's shoulders, and nodded and smiled at Luo Bi:

"Concubine Xian is young and speaks innocently, but her heart is good, if there is any offense to Dingyuan, please forgive me."

Helian Hongyi took the initiative to speak, no matter how unhappy Luo Bi was, he had to give Helian Hongyi this face, and respectfully hugged his fists and saluted: "Don't dare, don't dare, Concubine Xian is too funny." ”

"In this way, the horse race will end here, and I will return first." After getting Luo Bi's answer, Helian Hongyi didn't even glance at Chu Xiaocheng, who was standing on the side, bowed his head and was silent, put his arm around Gu Banqin's shoulder and turned to leave.

Luo Bi and Chu Xiaocheng hurriedly retreated to the side to make way for them, Helian Hongyi passed by Chu Xiaocheng with Gu Banqin in his arms, and said to Gu Banqin seemingly unintentionally:

"It's just average, it's not good-looking, what's welcome?"

Gu Banqin looked up at Helian Hongyi, who was black-bellied, and knew that he was not a kind person, and secretly glanced at Chu Xiaocheng's stiff shoulders with her spare eyes, Gu Banqin felt that there was still a big gap between her and an old fox in bullying people, and there was a lot of room for learning.

Leaving Luo Bi and Chu Xiaocheng there, gritting their teeth and being in the clouds, I don't know if Helian Hongyi recognized Chu Xiaocheng's identity.
