Chapter 0086: Slapping Li Ye's face
Ling Yunfei expected that this matter would not be good, but the princess did not think so.
"I don't know if this prince of Liye has a broken head, but when I rejected his proposal, he seemed very calm, and made an easy condition. My father knew that I would not agree to the proposal, but it was not good for him to return empty-handed, so he agreed to his conditions and made a note. ”
"Oh, my princess, I know all this, what conditions Li Ye proposed."
"Grain."
"What grain?"
"It's just wheat."
"How much?"
"I'm also surprised by this, it's very rare."
"How many?"
"Just start today, give him one grain of wheat, tomorrow give two grains, the day after tomorrow give four grains, and go on like this, and the next day will be twice as long as the previous day, and it will take a hundred days, isn't it easy."
The princess said with a smile, and when Ling Yunfei heard this, he immediately hugged his head.
"This dawn night is so ruthless."
"What's ruthless, I still think he's stupid."
"Silly? It's us who are stupid, it's us. ”
Seeing Ling Yunfei's appearance, the princess was a little incomprehensible and asked:
"What's wrong with you?"
"Princess, this is a typical math problem, that is, multiple growth, don't say a hundred days, that is, thirty days, we have to take out twenty or thirty power of wheat, calculate, it is also more than a billion, if a pound of wheat is counted as 10,000 grains, it will cost 100,000 catties, after a hundred days, we Datang will not be able to take it out at all, maybe there is not so much wheat in the world."
Ling Yunfei stood there dumbfounded, and the princess couldn't believe it when she saw Ling Yunfei.
"Are there really so many?"
"100,000 jin on the 30th day, 200,000 jin on the 31st day, 400,000 jin on the 32nd day......"
The princess was a little incredulous, and pulled Ling Yunfei:
"Is it really that scary?"
"If you don't believe me, I can show you."
"I believe you, don't show me it, I'll take you to see my father, and my father doesn't know that he has lied."
As she spoke, the princess pulled Master Song in.
"Lord Song, 100,000 is in a hurry, I want to take Ling Yunfei to see my father."
"Princess, how can this be, I can't hand over the prisoner to you."
"Oh, Lord Song, 100,000 is in a hurry, my father was deceived by that bastard in Liye, can't I guarantee Ling Yunfei? Only he can tell the truth. ”
"This?"
"Uncle Song, this matter is not trivial, then Prince Liye wants to use a trick to trap my father, and if it is too late, there will be a big problem."
Lord Song was helpless, and with the princess's guarantee, he let Ling Yunfei go.
The princess pulled Ling Yunfei and entered the Heart Cultivation Hall to find her father.
And at this time, the emperor was playing chess with the emperor.
Yun Ge ran in in a hurry, and the Emperor Taishang was very happy to see her.
"My good granddaughter, why are you here?"
Yun Ge's face was impatient:
"Father, Emperor, you still play chess? If it goes down any further, my people in Datang will starve to death. ”
As soon as these words came out, the emperor was stunned for a moment: "This world is very good, there is no famine, Yunge, what nonsense are you talking about, disturb me to play chess with your emperor." ”
Yun Ge was a little impatient.
"Father, do you remember Li Yeti's request?"
"That's a requirement, it's a trivial matter." The emperor understated it, and he was still falling.
"Oh, father, we're all in the middle of the night."
As soon as they heard this, the father and the emperor stopped playing chess, looked at Yun Ge, and thought that Yun Ge was naughty and messing around.
"Fooled?"
"That's right, if you are fooled, this Prince of Liye is not a good thing, I can't tell, I will bring someone, and he will tell you."
With that, Yun Ge brought Ling Yunfei in.
"Who did I think, isn't this the kid who broke the Night Pearl?"
"Father, don't mention the night pearl first, this is Ling Yunfei, let him say."
The emperor looked at Ling Yunfei.
Yun Ge came to Ling Yunfei's side: "Don't be afraid, I believe in you, you explain it to your father." ”
Ling Yunfei knew that at this time, the emperor would definitely not understand what mathematics was talking about, multiples and the like, so he raised his head and said:
"Your Majesty, the minion doesn't know what to say, it's a math problem, can you let me demonstrate it."
"Math problems? Yes, I'm not interested in this, but Gongsun Zhe of the Hanlin Academy understands, you tell him, come on, call Gongsun Zhe. ”
After a while, this Gongsun Zhe came.
"This is Mr. Gongsun Zhe, who specializes in mathematics, you can tell him."
At this time, Ling Yunfei told everything he knew, but Gongsun Zhe didn't seem to understand.
Ling Yunfei was a little helpless, and when he was helpless, Gongsun Zhe spoke.
"Your Majesty, I also heard about Li Yeti's request before, and I felt a little strange, but I was so busy that I forgot about it, and now that Ling Yunfei said it, I feel that I don't understand, can you let him demonstrate it."
"Hehe, such a small thing, what is it that you are fuss about, isn't it just a little bit of food, and what else is demonstrated."
The emperor said indifferently and continued to play chess with the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the minion dares to ask me to demonstrate, I promise it will surprise you."
Hearing the surprise, the emperor couldn't sit still:
"Okay, I like to be surprised, this chess game is too boring, Huang'er, let him demonstrate, it's good to relieve boredom."
As soon as the emperor said this, the emperor agreed.
"Your Majesty, in order to demonstrate realism, can you come up with some silver taels?"
"Silver taels, how much?"
"One tael for one piece, it costs 100,000 taels."
"One hundred thousand taels? What are you doing with so much? ”
"Your Majesty, this is not much, and there will be no more demonstrations in a few moments."
When the Emperor Taishang heard this, he became interested: "Okay, let's come for 100,000 taels." ”
After a while, the emperor asked people to bring 100,000 taels of silver.
"I want to see what you want to do, and I want to see what bad ideas Li Ye can have."
As he spoke, Ling Yunfei began to demonstrate.
"Your Majesty, please see, on the first day, it was a piece." Ling Yunfei put a piece on the ground.
"Two for the next day."
"Four pieces on the third day"
"Eight pieces on the fifth day!"
......
On the tenth day, Ling Yunfei asked those palace maids to help and counted 1,024 yuan.
At this time, the emperor sensed that something was wrong.
"2,048 blocks on the eleventh day."
"4096 blocks on the twelfth day"
"Thirteenth day 8192 blocks"
"16,384 blocks on the fourteenth day"
......
Ling Yunfei couldn't count anyone, so the princess asked those subordinates to help count, and at this time, Gongsun Zhe stood up.
"I understand, I understand the emperor, this is a big breakthrough."
And the emperor is also there:
"It's so scary."
Ling Yunfei stopped:
"Your Majesty, it's so terrible, this 100,000 taels of silver, it's only seventeen or eighteen days, the more it goes, the more terrible the value is, the slave counts, a pound of wheat costs 10,000 grains, and when it comes to the 30th day, we have to give Li Ye a billion grains, that is, 100,000 catties of grain, the thirty-first day is 200,000 catties, the more terrifying it is, the more terrifying it is, and when it comes to a hundred days, don't say that Datang's grain, even the world's, may not be enough."
At this time, the chess pieces in the emperor's hand fell.
"But I have set up a note for Li Ye, what can I do, if I don't give it, where is my face as a Tang Dynasty."
At this time, the Emperor stood up and looked at Ling Yunfei:
"The young man is young and promising, I heard Yun Ge say, you didn't break the pearl that night, it was clearly Li Yekeng's yours, right?"
Ling Yunfei nodded.
Emperor Taishang turned his head and looked at the emperor: "Look, I'll just say that these guys from the Western Regions are nothing good, they really came to pit you, and they also proposed to Yunge, although this Li Ye is young, but this mind is far beyond you, this time, see how you deal with it." ”
At this time, the emperor knew that if it weren't for Ling Yunfei, he would still be in the dark.
"Gongsun Zhe, you know mathematics, what can you do this time."
Gongsun Zhe shook his head.
Ling Yunfei stepped forward and knelt down: "The slave has a plan, I don't know if the emperor can agree." ”
"Of course, you can say it quickly."
Ling Yunfei said his plan once, and the emperor only said yes.
"Li Ye dares to pit me, this time, I will pit him and he can't go home, Ling Yunfei, this time, you have made a meritorious service, this matter will be handed over to Yun Ge and you, you see how it is."
"Thanks to the emperor's trust."
"Oh, look, you have done such a great job, if it is done and gives Li Ye an embarrassment, how can I thank you."
"Your Majesty, the slave really has a request."
"Don't worry, I'll satisfy you."
Ling Yunfei was stunned, looked at Yun Ge, Yun Ge said: "You have no jokes, Ling Yunfei, my father promised you, don't worry, your capital crime is gone, you didn't break the pearl that night, it is clearly our Tang Dynasty in the night pit, you can make other requests." ”
Ling Yunfei first kowtowed three times, and then said: "Please ask the emperor not to bring any princess to the Western Regions in the future." ”
As soon as Ling Yunfei said this, the emperor and the emperor were stunned.
"Oh? Why is that? ”
"The emperor doesn't know, I am a common man, and I have been in prison, we people don't need to exchange the princess and relatives for peace, harmony, for us people, it is a manifestation of weakness in the Tang Dynasty."
"You?"
The emperor was just about to get angry, but the emperor applauded:
"Okay, good boy, we have more people like you in Datang, why worry about foreign enemies."
As he spoke, the Emperor looked at the emperor.
"Alas, I don't want to do this, and I don't want to marry my daughter far away, but in the Western Regions, there are always some unstable guys, don't worry about this matter, you and the people don't care, I have my own decision, you and Princess Yunge, let's deal with Li Ye first, and you are not guilty."
Ling Yunfei kowtowed and thanked him, and walked out with Yun Ge.
Ling Yunfei didn't forget those prisoners in prison, asked Yunge to take the money, bought things and sent them in, no one thanked Ling Yunfei, and thought about them when he went out towards Ling Yunfei, this person was really righteous.
When he came out, Ling Yunfei said: "Princess, it seems that I will do business in Chang'an in the future." ”
"Leave the business alone, I can't wait for that nasty boy all night now."
"Hmph, dare to play a trick on us, princess, let's go."
On the first day, the princess took a piece of wheat and took Ling Yunfei to the residence of Prince Liye.
Seeing Li Ye, the princess did not expose Li Ye, but pretended not to know that this was a big pit according to what Ling Yunfei said.
"Prince Liye, don't be angry if you refuse you, and besides, you should ask the emperor to make one more request, your request is too small, but since you say so, this hundred days, then I will personally come to send wheat over, and ask Prince Liye to count it carefully, this is the first wheat today, you take it."
As she spoke, the princess handed the wheat to the night.
Li Ye nodded and smiled slightly:
"Datang really talks about credit, and he still bothers the princess, Li Ye is very grateful."
"And Prince Liye, if you still need anything, just tell them, in Datang, we have to entertain you well."
Dawn nodded, and the princess took her leave.
The second day, the third day, went on.
By the thirteenth day: 8192
Looking at the pound of wheat, Yun Ge looked at Ling Yunfei with a smile:
"This should be a pound, guess how long Li Ye has to count?"
"Let's have a stick of incense if you don't talk about it."
"Let's go, I'm going to entertain him."
When he came to Li Ye's residence, Yun Ge handed Li Ye the pound of grain.
"Prince Liye, your request is really strange, but we agreed, and we will do it for you, this is 8192 wheat, you can start counting."
Li Ye took it and took it in his hand and shook it.
"Don't count, that's a lot."
"No, this is explained by the emperor himself, this is one less, not only a wheat, but also the face of Datang, otherwise others will say that Datang is not trustworthy."
"This?" Li Ye was a little hesitant.
"It's okay, I'll count with you."
There was no way to do this, so I had to count it, Yun Ge sat on the side drinking tea and reading the book, and after talking for a while, he called his men to help.
Yun Ge saw that he wanted to stop it, but when he thought of Ling Yunfei's words, he didn't stop it.
"It's okay to ask your men to help."
......
"The count is finished, Your Royal Highness the Prince, the number adds up, it is 8192."
Yun Ge stood up: "Okay, today's task is complete, I'll go first." ”
Yun Ge found Ling Yunfei and said that the group of people was crawling to count the wheat, it was a happy one.
In this way, when it lasted for twenty days, the number had reached 1048576, and the princess had people, and the number was just right.
When the princess put most of the small bags in front of Li Ye, Li Ye's head was bigger.
But there was no way, I could only count, those subordinates were also sad, and the princess took people and watched a group of people in Liye work hard.
When he came back, Yun Ge wanted to laugh when he saw Ling Yunfei.
On the 24th day, the princess gathered more people and began to count the 24th day in preparation for the dawn night.
Ling Yunfei saw the princess and smiled:
"My dear princess, I'm really late."
"It's not too late, look at the numbers, we're going to have to fill the numbers."
"Princess, I'm really late, because we don't have to count."
The princess looked at Ling Yunfei and was a little puzzled.
"Princess, on the twenty-fourth day, is 16,777,216."
"If it's less or more, isn't that a slap in the face of Datang?"
Ling Yunfei smiled: "Princess, there are countless of them, I estimate that they will surrender tomorrow, so many, there is no way." ”
"Really?"
"Yes, we only need to give him about 180 catties of wheat, two bags are enough."
"Really?"
"So, princess, I make a bet with you, to-morrow you take these two bags of wheat, and they count it, and it will definitely be 16,777,216."
"You've already counted?"
"No, I'm not so bored, and I said I can't count them all, but, princess, when you say it, you say that you gathered a lot of people for a night, and it will continue tomorrow."
The princess would understand this, and looked at Ling Yunfei: "You are so bad, but I like it so much." ”
"As Ling Yunfei expected, they really counted this number."
When the princess came back, she gave Ling Yunfei a thumbs up directly.
On the thirtieth day, the princess took people and pulled more than 100,000 catties of grain to Li Ye's residence.
And now Li Ye and his subordinates are all panda eyes.
The princess also understood that they had not counted them at all.
Yun Ge smiled slightly:
"Prince Liye, this is the thirtieth day's quantity, and the people of the entire Chang'an have counted 1073741824 of them, please check them."
"Good, good!"
"But my father said, after you finish counting, we have to check, if you don't count correctly, you have to count again, and my father said that not a single grain can be missing."
"Huh?" Dawn Night was exhausted.
"Also, my father said that if you don't have enough manpower, you can write a letter and ask the Western Night Kingdom to send some more people to count, so that it will be accurate."
When Li Ye heard this, his eyes darkened and he fainted.
