Open docks
Lin Feng smiled mysteriously, then turned to His Majesty and said, "Please also ask my father to testify."
His Majesty was silent, but nodded.
In fact, His Majesty also wanted to hear what kind of topic Lin Feng could say.
It was precisely because he wanted to see what novelty Lin Feng could bring that His Majesty would agree to Lin Feng doing this.
Lin Feng saw that His Majesty nodded in agreement, and he was a lot more relieved.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Feng glanced at the ministers and said, "The daughter of this adult's family specially borrowed fifty taels of silver from her parents in order to buy a pearl hairpin."
"The price of the pearl hairpin is one hundred taels of silver, and when I arrived at the jade shop, the boss gave this girl three taels of silver cheaper." Lin Feng paused and said.
So the girl took the remaining three taels of silver, and gave one tael to each of her parents, and kept one tael for herself. Lin Feng said again.
"In this way, that girl just wants her parents to borrow forty-nine taels of silver each, I don't know if what I said is right?" Lin Feng glanced at the minister who was the first to kneel down and said.
The minister nodded, indicating that Lin Feng was right.
Then Lin Feng spoke again: "It is precisely because of this that the girl borrowed a total of ninety-eight taels of silver from her parents."
"A total of ninety-eight taels of silver, counting the girl's one tael of silver, it is only ninety-nine taels of silver, may I ask, why is this? Where did the tael go? Lin Feng asked.
When Lin Feng finished speaking, all the ministers fell into deep thought, even His Majesty and all the princes.
Not only that, but even the crown prince and the head of the household, who had always been on Lin Feng's side, couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation.
Some of the ministers bowed their heads and kept talking, and some stretched out their fingers and kept pulling, but no matter how they wrought, they couldn't make up a hundred taels of silver.
In general, those ministers, no matter how they calculated, were one or two pieces less.
Time passed little by little, I don't know if I was sleepy, half an hour passed, and the foreheads of those ministers couldn't help but sweat.
Those ministers were also nervous and nervous. It's okay to answer correctly, but if you can't answer, you can only take off your official uniform, resign and return to your hometown.
At this time, a minister asked Lin Fengzai to explain the topic carefully and carefully on the grounds that he did not hear the topic clearly.
The minister was missing a tael of silver after calculating, and he couldn't figure out the answer.
The minister did this because he wanted to listen again and find the answer in the question.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Feng said the topic again.
It's just that Lin Feng replaced that girl with the daughter of the minister's family this time.
The minister listened again, thought about it carefully, but still did not find any clues.
At this time, even the pilgrim was bowing his head and pondering, thinking of the answer.
Lin Feng glanced at all the people, kept covering his mouth and snickering, and the tears of laughter were about to fall out.
His Majesty glanced up at Lin Feng, and then "coughed" twice, and then Lin Feng put away his smile.
Everyone thought about it for a long time, but they didn't come up with a reason.
After a while, some of the ministers shook their heads and sighed slightly.
Since you can't think of an answer, then prepare to take off the official mansion and return to your hometown!
Some ministers think so, and some ministers are still thinking about the answer.
Because Lin Feng did not announce the answer, this question has become a problem for the ages.
This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being, but I will explain it below.
Unconsciously, half an hour passed, and Lin Feng's stomach was a little unbearable.
Followed by. Lin Feng opened his mouth and said to His Majesty: "Back to my father, my daughter-in-law has not eaten any rice today, and I am really a little hungry and panicked, and I hope that my father and the emperor will approve my daughter-in-law to go and eat some porridge."
"Quasi-play!" His Majesty glanced at Lin Feng and said.
Immediately after, Lin Feng saluted, turned around and left the main hall.
After Lin Feng left the main hall, the ministers who had not come up with an answer had an urge to take off their official uniforms and return to their hometowns.
Those ministers have been smart for half their lives, but when they met Lin Feng, they were led by Lin Feng.
If you want to say who is the old fritter, Lin Feng is the real old fritter, slippery and oily.
Those ministers were also cunning guys, but when they ran into Lin Feng, they couldn't be revealed.
After Lin Feng left, he went directly to the imperial dining room to find something to eat.
Because Lin Feng was only released in the morning, and after being released, he came directly to the palace, so Lin Feng was still very hungry.
Lin Feng came to the imperial dining room, ate something, and then walked around the palace.
This is, Lin Feng remembered the day when he secretly flew up to the beam of the house to peek at the participation of hundreds of civil and military officials in political affairs.
Those idiots, I can't even catch them, they're really stupid!
Immediately after, Lin Feng wandered around the palace casually.
For a while, Lin Feng remembered the first time he came to the palace after coming to this world, as well as the bits and pieces that happened later.
Alas! Before I knew it, half a year had passed, and what had happened in this half year seemed to be as long as a whole year had passed.
Unconsciously, an hour passed, and Lin Feng was no longer visiting the palace, and immediately returned to the main hall.
At this time, all the ministers were no longer thinking about the answer to that question, but discussing the question of where the ministers would stay.
Those ministers felt that they had lost in the hands of a little girl, and they were a little embarrassed, feeling that they had no face to stay here.
However, His Majesty felt that several ministers were also rare talents, and did not let them go.
After Lin Feng came back, he saluted His Majesty, and then stepped aside.
The ministers still wanted to leave, and they didn't want to stay here.
"I hope Your Majesty will approve and let me return to my hometown with honor." A minister spoke.
Lin Feng was slightly stunned, then turned his head to the prince and said, "What's wrong with them?" Why do you want to go? ”
"I have to ask you, talented girl." The prince spoke.
After the prince said these words, Lin Feng immediately understood what the reason was.
"Several Aiqing are also old ministers who have followed the emperor, why are they so unbearable? Is it because of a few words from the crown princess? Your Majesty spoke.
Immediately afterward, the ministers remained silent and bowed their heads.
"I don't let you go, naturally there is a reason for me, is it because of a few jokes from her?" His Majesty continued to storm the Dao.
"Xuan'er, tell me, are you serious?" His Majesty turned his head and glanced at Lin Feng and said.
Lin Feng was slightly stunned, he didn't expect His Majesty to throw such a question to himself.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, "What my father said is very true, and the daughter-in-law is just joking with a few adults."
"Several adults are also old ministers who have followed His Majesty to fight in all directions, and they are high and powerful, how can they leave because of a few jokes from the little girl? A few ministers don't take it seriously. Lin Feng paused and said.
After listening to Lin Feng's words, several ministers couldn't help but feel inexplicably moved, and they were actually a little in tears.
The crown prince looked at the expressions of several ministers, and then whispered in Lin Feng's ear with a slight smile: "Ai Concubine, you still have a way, my father has tried to persuade him several times to no avail, and you left several ministers behind with just one sentence."
Lin Feng glanced at the prince, then smiled, but did not speak.
His Majesty also expressed his sincere admiration for Lin Feng.
Several ministers were dropped, and it was Lin Feng's turn to announce the answer?
"Okay Xuan'er, tell me your answer, you Aiqing haven't figured it out even if you think about it!" His Majesty glanced at Lin Feng and said.
"Back to my father, the ministers-in-law didn't know what the answer was, and the daughter-in-law never figured it out, so I brought it over and asked the ministers to help think of the answer." Lin Feng opened his mouth and said.
His Majesty was slightly stunned, completely unexpectedly that Lin Feng didn't know the answer.
His Majesty felt that Lin Feng was lying, but he didn't have conclusive evidence, so he could only stop there, after all, there was something important to discuss!
Immediately after that, His Majesty glanced at everyone and said, "Regarding the opening of the dock, do you have any objections?"
The ministers bowed their heads and remained silent, neither in favor nor against.
"Since all of you Aiqing are silent, then this matter will be decided." His Majesty spoke.
"Spread the word of the word, open the wharves in the coastal zone, open the country, and welcome people from overseas." His Majesty spoke.
His Majesty opened his mouth to say this, and the ministers all knelt down.
"Retreat." His Majesty shouted to the chief eunuch and left.
Immediately afterwards, the chief eunuch shouted a word of retreat, and left the hall with His Majesty.
All the ministers knelt down and saluted to see His Majesty off.
Just as everyone was about to leave, the chief eunuch returned.
"Your Majesty has a decree, Xuan Li Zhang's imperial study will be driven." The chief eunuch spoke.
Lin Feng was slightly stunned, then turned his head to look at the prince, with a confused expression.
I didn't know I was lying, did I?
I should be good hidden, right? Can it still be discovered?
Lin Feng kept thinking about the problem in his head, and then followed the chief eunuch to the imperial study.
The two came to the imperial study, and Lin Feng directly pushed the door in.
When His Majesty saw Lin Feng coming, he immediately said, "You're here?" Sit. ”
Immediately after, Lin Feng didn't even look at His Majesty, and sat directly on a chair in the imperial study.
"I've already opened the dock, shouldn't you tell me your answer?" His Majesty spoke.
"How does my father know that his ministers and daughters-in-law have answers?" Lin Feng was a little curious, and then asked.
"Do you really think I'm a fool? If you can deceive others, can you still deceive me? Your Majesty spoke.
Lin Feng laughed dryly a few times, and then said, "Since my father wants to know, then my daughter-in-law will say it."
Immediately afterwards, Lin Feng announced the answer.
Imagine that the girl had borrowed fifty taels of silver from her parents, for a total of one hundred taels of silver.
A hairpin is only ninety-seven taels of silver, ninety-seven taels of silver, plus three taels of silver in the girl's hand, isn't it just one hundred taels? How can it be less than a tael?
His Majesty was a little confused, and then asked, "That girl really paid back a tael of silver to her parents!"
"Does my father have the habit of reading the account book on weekdays?" Lin Feng asked.
His Majesty was slightly stunned, not knowing what the answer to this question had to do with the ledger.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Feng spoke again: "How can expenditure and income be confused? If so, isn't this account a mess? ”
The girl did borrow fifty taels of silver from her parents, and spent ninety-seven taels of silver, and gave back to her parents one tael each.
In this way, it is true that they borrowed only forty-nine taels of silver from each other, which is just a disguise.
