As soon as Shi Tianci left Elder Daojing and Elder Yuan Hao, he urged him to go through the mountains and seas and make a detour to Gaoping City. The reason why he did this was because this time Elder Xugang's attack was too abrupt, and there was probably something else wrong with it, and he was afraid that he would be calculated if he walked normally.

When he arrived in Gaoping City, Shi Tianci went to the palace to see the king of Zhennan. King Zhennan, Bai Zhichuan and King Zhennan's son Su Fangmin are arguing, it turns out that Su Jingshan forced his son to study, but Su Fangmin doesn't like books and prefers cultivation, so he is fighting with his father.

The king of Zhennan said: "How can you do it if you don't study? If you don't study, you don't know anything, won't you become illiterate?"

Su Fangmin snorted and said, "Then how do you study, Daddy?"

King Zhennan said embarrassedly: "Your father and I really don't read much, so I'm greedy for fun." ”

His son said, "You don't read much, and you still be your prince, so what's the use of me studying?"

When King Zhennan heard this, he was speechless, and he didn't know how to refute it.

Bai Zhichuan hurriedly helped Su Jingshan to relieve the siege and said: "Just because your father doesn't read much, so he is always bullied by your eldest uncle and second uncle, to be honest, even I envy people who read a lot, and people who are knowledgeable are respectable." ”

Su Fangmin tilted his head and asked, "Then Uncle Bai, how much do you read?"

Bai Zhichuan was born in a family of cultivators, and he has been practicing hard since he was a child, he just wants to study, and he doesn't have time. He had to say, "I don't read much." ”

Su Fangmin said: "Look, you don't read much, you can still become a strong person in the Lingtai realm, what do you say is the use of reading?"

When Bai Zhichuan heard this, he was speechless, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Su Jingshan saw that Bai Zhichuan was also unsuccessful, so he hurriedly said to Shi Tianci: "Tianci, I think you can convince this kid, there is no way for me and the master to do it." ”

Shi Tianci looked at Su Fangmin and said, "If I can convince you, you will go back to study?"

Su Fangmin asked rhetorically, "How much do you read?"

Shi Tianci thought for a while and said, "It's not comparable to the well-educated people who are rich and rich, but it's better than your father and Lao Bai." ”

Su Jingshan listened and pursed his lips, while Bai Zhichuan rolled his eyes.

When Su Fangmin saw it, he smiled and said, "Okay, then you can try it, how can you prove to the three of us that reading is useful." ”

King Zhennan and Bai Zhichuan both widened their eyes together, seeing how skillful Shi Tianci was. Shi Tianci couldn't help but be stunned, this kid seized the opportunity and immediately enveloped Su Jingshan and Bai Zhichuan into his trenches and isolated himself, it seems that this Su Fangmin has a fast brain and is full of wit, and he really can't be underestimated.

This is not difficult for Shi Tianci, he said: "Reading can be a pastime." ”

Su Fangmin pursed his lips and said, "I'd rather chat." ”

Shi Tianci said: "Reading enriches people. ”

Su Fangmin immediately replied, "I'd rather cultivate." ”

Shi Tianci said: "Reading history makes people wise. ”

Su Fangmin said without hesitation: "I'd rather argue"

Shi Tianci said: "Reading poetry makes people smart. ”

Su Fangmin said disdainfully: "Poetry can't enrich the country, and endowment can't strengthen the army, this is my father's words." ”

King Zhennan nodded and said, "That's right. ”

Shi Tianci said in his heart, who are you helping, do you have your own position? However, he was not discouraged, since Bacon's words could not convince Su Fangmin, he still had a good trick.

Shi Tianci said: "Reading makes people shrewd. ”

Su Fangmin Ha smiled and said, "Although you read a lot, judging from the words you persuaded me to read, you are not shrewd at all. ”

Shi Tianci said, "Oh, really?"

He took out a large gold ingot and threw it on the table, saying, "I want to buy rice with this piece of gold, but you can't sell it." ”

Su Fangmin said: "Then it depends on how much you want to buy?"

Shi Tianci drew nine horizontal and vertical lines on the table and said, "There are sixty-four grids here, put one grain of rice on the first grid, two grains of rice on the second grid, four grains of rice on the third grid, eight grains of rice on the fourth grid, sixteen grains of rice on the fifth grid, and so on, fill all the grids, and I will buy so much." ”

Su Fangmin smiled and said, "Uncle, you are a stupid person with a lot of money, sell, of course sell." Dad, what do you say?"

He not only stated his position, but also wooed Su Jingshan. Su Jingshan smiled and said, "Of course sell, this business will not make money in vain." ”

Su Fangmin asked Bai Zhichuan again: "Uncle Bai, what about you?"

Bai Zhichuan scratched his head, although he felt that this business was very profitable, but he knew that there were so many ideas of Dao Shi Tianci ghosts, which he had only seen in his life, so he had to calculate it first, but he still made up his mind after the end, and said conservatively: "Sell, it shouldn't be a loss." ”

Su Fangmin put away the gold ingots and said, "You go to the kitchen to load the rice yourself, such a big ingot of gold, even if the rice in the kitchen is emptied, I will only make money and not lose money." ”

Shi Tianci shook his head and said, "There is no one who does this to buy and sell, since you are willing to sell, you must load the goods." Now go to the Gaoping granary and load me with grain. ”

Su Fang Min Ha laughed and said, "Do you still need to go to the granary?"

Shi Tianci sneered and said, "The rice in the granary is good. ”

Su Fangmin was still laughing, but Su Jingshan and Bai Zhichuan were startled when they heard it, they knew that Shi Tianci never said big things, so they hurriedly took Su Fangmin to the granary to load grain. Shi Tianci didn't go at all, but said: "After I have packed it for me, I will put it in the granary, and I will use a storage bag to get it." ”

After the three of them left, Shi Tianci smiled secretly in his heart, in his previous life, the king in this topic was deceived very badly, it seems that these emperors, princes, and grandsons need to use the chessboard to beat and beat more, otherwise, their heads will not be bright.

It didn't take much effort, and the three of them came back dejected. Shi Tianci teased: "The grain is finished?"

Su Fangmin said: "How can this be? The grain in Gaoping is not enough, how many grains of grain is needed?"

Shi Tianci said: "A total of two to the sixty-fourth power minus one so much grain. ”

Three people, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what Lu Dao Shi Tianci is talking about.

Shi Tianci said: "The exact number is 18446744073709551615 grains. ”

This number was memorized by Shi Tianci, and I can't remember if it's accurate, but it should be roughly the same.

The three of them all knew that this was a large number, but they still didn't have an intuitive concept.

Shi Tianci said helplessly: "These rice are piled up into a wall that is one zhang wide and one zhang high, which is enough to circle hundreds of thousands of circles around Tianshui Country!"

The three of them were all stupid.

Shi Tianci said: "Don't worry about studying, if a foreign country uses the method I just used to deceive you, you will be happy to be fooled, and you will think that you have taken advantage." We can't produce this rice in Tianshui Country and Jiangxia Country for a thousand years! What a heavy burden will you put on Tianshui Kingdom?"

All three of them were red-faced, bowing their heads and saying nothing. Shi Tianci felt funny and said, "If you think what I said is right, hurry up and go to study." ”

Su Fangmin immediately went to study honestly, Bai Zhichuan also took out a copy of "The Essentials of Mathematics" from the storage bag, and even the king of Zhennan also found a copy of "History of Qinglouye" and pretended to work hard.

Shi Tianci smiled and said, "Lord Wang, can you stabilize the country with this book?"

King Zhennan smiled and said, "Aren't you embarrassed by you, I really can't read other books, so I have to use it to make up the numbers." ”

Shi Tianci smiled bitterly: "It's better not to read this book, by the way, what about that Liu Yuankai?"

The king of Zhennan said: "This kid is unruly, I said two words to him, and he left." ”

Shi Tianci was shocked and hurriedly said: "How can you let him go, he is the victorious general of Longdong, and our private army has to count on him to train?!"

King Zhennan was stunned for a moment and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Shi Tianci said: "I wrote it clearly in the letter of recommendation, didn't you read it?"

Su Jingshan said: "I didn't watch it at all, I heard Xi Yulan who brought him say that you recommended it, so I directly asked him to enlist in the army and become a general." He refused to give in, and left the palace in a fit of anger. ”

Shi Tianci sighed and said: "The prince has missed a big deal, I inquired in Longdong, this person is strategizing, winning thousands of miles away, he is a general who has not met in a century, but he is a little arrogant. If you can tolerate me, why can't you tolerate him?"

Su Jingshan said: "That's different, I know that you are talented, but I don't know him, if you can't come to someone, I'll let him be a general, right?"

Shi Tianci said: "As a king, you don't need to be able to write, you have your own talented students to write for you, you don't have to be good at martial arts, you have a general who can fight well to lead the troops for you." All you need to do is to know how to make good use of others and be generous to others. This one has just been missed, and I really don't know when Lu Dao will find the next one. ”

Su Jingshan thought for a while and said, "In this way, I will immediately send someone to chase him, and I will go in person, and I will find him back at any cost." ”

Shi Tianci said: "He has been gone for so long, who knows where he has gone? To find him, isn't it like looking for a needle in a haystack? I just hope that he didn't go to Jiangxia Kingdom, otherwise, it will be really a big trouble." ”

King Zhennan couldn't regret it, and Shi Tianci also sighed, but it was too late to say anything, and the two of them had nothing to do. It was getting late, so Shi Tianci rested in the palace. Ever since he knew that Dao Zhen was looking for the truth about the Jin family's extermination and beheaded Huang Yuanbing, he didn't dare to live alone outside the palace, and it was much safer to be with Bai Zhichuan in the palace.

As soon as he returned to his residence, he saw a person sitting in the hall, and when he got closer, it was Liu Yuankai! Shi Tianci was overjoyed and hurriedly asked: "Great, you are actually here! So you didn't leave?"

Liu Yuankai said: "I don't agree with Zhennan Wang Zhi, but I haven't reported your life-saving grace yet, how can I just leave." ”

Shi Tianci smiled and said, "It's good if you don't leave, it's good if you don't leave, the third prince is a little rougher, don't take it to heart." I really have a big thing for you to do, but I don't know if you can do it well. ”

Liu Yuankai said: "You and I don't know each other, you definitely didn't save me because I was handsome, what you want to hand over to me is nothing more than training soldiers to fight." Don't worry, if there is anything to do, I will do my best to live up to your trust. ”

Shi Tianci nodded and said, "With your words, I am relieved, you come with me." ”

Shi Tianci took him to see Su Jingshan again, and when the king of Zhennan saw Liu Yuankai, he immediately apologized and scolded himself for being blind. In this way, Liu Yuankai naturally could no longer be entangled in the arrogance of the three princes, and finally reconciled with the two ice releases.

Shi Tianci said: "Lord Wang, Liu Yuankai is good at leading troops, and handing over the private army to him is the best policy." ”

Su Jingshan nodded and said, "No problem, what we have now is money, Yuan Kai will help me raise a private army and train it into an iron army, so I won't be afraid of the eldest brother and the second brother." ”

Shi Tianci shook his head and said, "This is not good, the private army must not be publicized, and it must be prepared in secret." ”

Su Jingshan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?"

Shi Tianci said: "This truth is very simple, the three of you have their own strengths, Su Jingfeng has an army, Su Jingshui has monks, you have wealth, once this balance is broken, the two weak will definitely form a group to deal with the strongest." Once you have established a huge private army, you will force the eldest prince and the second prince to unite, and when the time comes, you will become the target of public criticism. ”

Su Jingshan suddenly realized and said, "That's right, I'm a rich man now, and I can't really threaten them, so they don't bother to touch me." If you hadn't reminded me, I would have missed a big deal. Then let Yuan Kai secretly start in Gaoping and recruit troops. ”

Shi Tianci shook his head and said, "If you create a private army in Tianshui Country, it is impossible to hide it from the eldest prince and the second prince. ”

Su Jingshan asked, "Then where should I create it?"

Liu Yuankai interjected: "The homeless tribe. ”

Shi Tianci was stunned, this Liu Yuankai coincided with him, it seems that this person is really quick-thinking, smart and wise.

Su Jingshan said strangely: "The homeless tribe, why do you want to be there?"

Liu Yuankai said: "It is difficult to establish a private army in Tianshui Country, not to mention it, and there is no chance to fight yet. It's different in the homeless tribes, I heard Xi Yulan say that there are many large and small tribes, fighting with each other endlessly, fighting all year round, and it is the most suitable for training private troops. Moreover, the people there are not enough to eat and wear, as long as the treatment is slightly better, are they afraid that they will not be able to recruit people?"

King Zhennan suddenly realized, but after thinking about it, he asked again: "It's just that such a huge private army, how can it get into Tianshui Country in the future?"

Shi Tianci said: "This is easy, you can let them mix in as Xi Yulan's tobacco escort team in batches." ”

The king of Zhennan was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "That's great, I'll let people allocate food and go all out to support Yuan Kai's preparation for the establishment of a private army." ”

Shi Tianci said: "Our plan has been prepared for so long, and we are about to start implementing it. ”

King Zhennan said, "Okay, just wait for your words." ”

So, Liu Yuankai happened to go to the homeless tribe with Xi Yulan, who had finished delivering tobacco, and Xi Yulan was also very happy when she heard Shi Tianci and Liu Yuankai's plan to build a private army. The displaced tribes have been at war all year round, and if Liu Yuankai can help the displaced tribes achieve unification, it must be a good thing for future generations.

And the king of Zhennan, Shi Tianci and Bai Zhichuan began to put into practice the plan drawn up by Shi Tianci, what they didn't expect was that once this plan was launched, it was wildly sought after by the monks!
