The Golden Age Chapter 853: Be smart

Taipu Siqing was not coming to Taiwan from coming down, and her heart was flustered. When Qin Xiao spoke, he looked like the sound of nature to Tai Pu Siqing. Looking back, he saw Qin Xiao, but he was grateful.

Yuan Gai Wushuang saw that it was the young Viscount who stood up again, still smiling, but the cold light flashed across his eyes, staring at Qin Xiao and asked: “Do you have a way?”

“I’m just very surprised. With such a simple question, I can do nothing to trouble the entire Bohai delegation.” Qin Xiao sighed: “It seems that your country will come to my Datang to worship more and learn more from me. Datang’s wisdom will not be embarrassed by such small problems in the future.”

Everyone in the Bohai Mission naturally heard the disdain and ridicule in Qin Xiao’s tone. Cui Shangyuan smiled and said, “I wonder if you have a good way?”

“It’s very simple. From now on, don’t feed these hundred horses. Just stay hungry for a day.” Qin Xiao said: “After one day, prepare fifty troughs, one mare and one trough, and fill it with finesse. It is expected that when those mares eat the horse feed, they feel distressed that their foals are starving, and they will naturally call, so-called mother and child are in the same slot, then all the foals will return to their mothers. In this way, your so-called problems It can be solved immediately.”

As soon as this statement came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty were relieved for a while, thinking that the problem of the Bohai mission was only heard at first. It is indeed very difficult to solve it, but the two words of Qin Jueye said that the problem is still It was really easy to solve, as Qin Jueye said, to solve this problem is really simple, but if this method had not been said by Qin Jueye, everyone would really have not thought of it for a while.

“My envoys, I don’t know if this method will work?” Qin Xiao smiled at the Bohai delegation: “If you think this method does not work, we can make a bet and try it together. Gold is a note, I don’t know what to do?”

The officials smiled, thinking that in the solemn court, Lord Qin was going to bet against the Bohai delegation. Could it be that the Golden Temple has become a casino?

But looking at the faces of Cui Shangyuan and others, we all know that Qin Xiao’s method must be good.

Sure enough, Cui Shangyuan had bowed to the saint and said: “Datang is indeed a celestial state. This Viscount is very wise. This method should be effective. The emissary would like to express his gratitude to the emperor.”

Qin Xiao solved the problem in a few words, and the saint was naturally happy, thinking that this auxiliary star of the seven killings was indeed his own blessing, and he instantly saved the face for Tang and himself, and maintained the prestige of the emperor. He smiled and said: “You follow this method. Do it.”

“Holy Master, the minister also has a small question to ask the Bohai Mission.” Qin Xiao suddenly said, “The so-called courtesy exchanges, we Datang has solved a small problem for the Bohai Mission, and hope that the Bohai Mission can Solve a small problem for the minister.”

The officials knew that Qin Xiao did this deliberately, just to give the Bohai people a counterattack, and they were all happy to see the result.

The sage naturally knew that Bohai was the issue raised by the regiment just now. It was deliberately making things difficult, but he was actually quite unhappy. Although Qin Xiao solved the problem and did not lose face to Datang, the frivolousness of the Bohai people still made the sage dissatisfied. At this moment, Qin Xiao clearly intends to go to the Bohai Mission, without blocking, and smiled: “If you have any questions, you can naturally ask them for advice.”

Qin Xiao faced the people of the Bohai delegation. Cui Shangyuan and the others immediately concentrated on it. Everyone knew that Qin Xiao’s so-called consultation was definitely not a good thing.

The Bohai officials who can be dispatched are mostly clever and savvy people. Whether they are wise or spoken, they are all outstanding.

“Guests from afar, this question is a bit complicated. I only ask it once, and it won’t be repeated.

Finally, listen up. “Qin Xiao said with a smile: “My Lord likes to eat chicken, and he often asks people to buy chicken from Liaodong. The climate in Liaodong is cold, and the chicken is very chewy in that environment…!”

There was silence in the hall, and I couldn’t hear what Qin Xiao was.

“I have two servants. I bought fifty chickens, thirty roosters, and twenty hens in Liaodong.” Qin Xiao slowly said, “When they came back, they were not able to take care of them. Twelve chickens were lost, three males and nine females. So they bought another 20 chickens, ten males and ten females in Luojia Village, but after walking for two days, they ran away again. Three chickens, nine males and 14 females, so they bought another 30 chickens in Fanjiatun, 13 males and 17 females…!”

Everyone in the Bohai Mission did calculations silently. This topic is indeed very complicated. It is necessary to be good at arithmetic. This makes Cui Shangyuan and Deputy Envoy Zhao Zhengyu not dare to neglect, and calculate quickly in their hearts, even Yuan Gai Wushuang is also attentive.

“But they were unlucky and lost another fifteen, seven males and eight females. They could only buy another twenty, ten males and ten females in one town, and then lost five males and six females. , They could only find a village and bought eight males and eight females, but they met an eagle on the way and were taken away by three males and two females. So they bought five males and five females in a village, but they got chicken plague and died nine times. Males and seven females, in desperation, they bought ten males and ten females in a town, but in order to supplement their physical strength, they ate three males and two females, and rushed to a village to buy four males and six females…! “

Qin Xiaokankan said that at this time not only the people in the Bohai mission had already shown embarrassment, but the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty were also shocked, thinking that in order to get Viscount Qin to eat chicken, those two who bought chicken really struggled. Hard work, but everyone knows that this is just a fabricated story, nothing more than to make things difficult for the Bohai people.

However, the ins and outs are indeed very complicated. If you are not someone with outstanding mental arithmetic ability, you will be confused if you just listen, let alone calculate.

Many officials of the Ministry of Households have been doing mental calculations. Some of them manage the accounts all day long, and they have excellent mental calculation skills.

Qin Xiao kept talking. For a long time, even the officials of the household department were a little confused. Many people in the Bohai Mission were still calculating at first, but later they obviously gave up. The expressions of Cui Shangyuan and Zhao Zhengyu also gradually became depressed, but only Yuan Gai Wushuang closed his eyes and looked calm.

“It’s only a hundred miles away from Kyoto. The two bought three males, three females and six chickens in a village.” Qin Xiao finally stopped and asked with a smile: “I wonder if you understand? If you understand. , Then may I ask…?”

“No need to ask.” Yuan Gai Wushuang finally opened his eyes, with a scornful smile on the corners of his lips: “When you arrived in Datang Capital, your two servants brought a total of 36 chickens, sixteen. Male and 20 female.”

As soon as this statement came out, the Manchu dynasty civil servants were suddenly shocked.

Such a complicated question is that all the officials of the Datang Household Department have already given up. They feel that it is too difficult. Unless they take a little calculation with paper and pen, it is impossible to answer them immediately in such a short period of time. The number, but he didn’t expect this elder Bohai to be so smart. As soon as Qin Xiao finished talking about the question, he had already calculated the number, and even the male and female said clearly.

But many officials were suspicious in their hearts, and couldn’t help but look at the court record officer.

In the Tang Dynasty meeting, there are naturally a penman responsible for recording all the events at the meeting. Everyone’s words and deeds will be recorded truthfully. The question of Qin Xiao just now is extremely complicated. It is very difficult to repeat this question, but the record officer is there. However, every word Qin Xiao said will be recorded.

If you want to determine whether the number said by Yuangai Wushuang is accurate, you can only calculate it in detail by the record officer.

Cui Shangyuan and the others answered immediately when they saw Yuan Gai Wushuang, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces showed pride.

“Whether my answer is accurate, you can verify it carefully.” Yuan Gai Wushuang was not indifferent, staring at Qin Xiao and said: “Your problem, I also helped you solve it.”

“Thirty-six…!” Qin Xiao sighed: “The elder son has a good memory, and this number can still be remembered. But you were too hasty.”

Yuan Gai Wushuang frowned and said: “What do you mean?”

“My question has not been asked yet. What are you rushing to answer for?” Qin Xiao said indifferently: “When did I ask how many chickens I brought back?”

Everyone was stunned.

Yuan Gai Wushuang was also puzzled: “Then what do you want to ask?”

Qin Xiao smiled and said: “I wanted to ask, how many villages and towns did my two servants buy chickens along the way? I said before, I like chickens, but I like I eat chickens raised in a cold northern environment. The chickens are chewy. I don’t like the chickens I bought in the southern village. So I want to know how many villages and towns they bought. The son rushed to answer, but fell. Some are too clever.”

Yuan Gai Wushuang’s face immediately became a little ugly.

The other people on the front were also taken aback, never expected that Qin Xiao would actually ask this question.

From the beginning, everyone thought that Qin Xiao asked about the number of chickens, and even the male and female memorized them carefully. So when Qin Xiao mentioned those who remembered buying and losing the quantity, everyone remembered it. In my heart, and remembering the number of roosters and hens respectively, who can think about which villages to buy chickens in? At this time Qin Xiao asked, whether it was Datang officials or Bohai envoys at the Golden Luang Temple, they were all at a loss. Going back to calculate, but can’t remember how many villages and towns he passed through.

Many Datang officials were grateful in their hearts, and secretly thought that fortunately, this question was directed at the Bohai people. If the Bohai people asked this question, everyone preconceived to count the number of chickens, and who could answer the number of villages and towns? Suddenly one by one gloated at the Bohai Mission.

Yuan Gai Wushuang seems to want to think hard, but the number of villages and towns has been a blind spot for everyone from the beginning, and they have been completely ignored.

“Can the guests who have come from afar not solve this problem?” Qin Xiao said regretfully: “It seems that what I asked is not human.”

Cui Shangyuan Jianyuan had the unreliable expression, knowing that he could not remember it, helpless, and could only say: “The Viscount Lord’s question is unexpected, we really can’t answer it.”

“The boring question by the side door.” Yuan Gai Wushuang was a little unwilling, and sneered.

“Who do you mean by the side?” Immediately an official rebuked: “In the Temple of Jinluan, how can you be scornful? If you can’t answer, you can’t answer. You even rant, you Bohai people are so narrow-minded.” /

Another official said angrily: “The questions you have just now are also deliberately making things difficult. The question of Lord Qin is laid out in the open, but you can’t answer it yourself. If you want to blame, blame yourself for not learning.”

Qin Xiao’s question made the Bohai mission extremely embarrassed. Naturally, it was very happy. No matter what attitude he had toward Qin Xiao before, Qin Xiao was teaching the Bohai people for the Tang Dynasty at the moment, the officials of the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, we can clearly distinguish the enemy from us, and of course it is also unconditional to support Qin Xiao at this time.
