As Bambu finished speaking, Yun Zheng's eyelids suddenly jumped.
Oh shit!
The story of placing rice on the chessboard?
Could it be that old dog Bambu is also a time traveler?
Or, is there someone like me who traveled to Beihuan?
At the same time, the ministers could not help but make calculations secretly.
This... doesn't seem like much!
Isn’t it just one month?
According to this method, at most we can give out a few hundred thousand dan of grain!
It must be much less than three million dan!
...
...
Emperor Wen was also silently calculating in his mind.
However, the Dagan Dynasty had no idea about mathematics at all.
Emperor Wen calculated for a long time and felt that this was a good deal.
However, he was still a little worried that this was a trap set for them by Bambu.
But no matter how he calculated, it didn't seem like a trap.
It seems that we don't need too much food if we give it this way.
Moreover, if you give a little bit every day, the pressure of working hard will be much less!
Well, this suggestion seems good!
"Father, this is a good move."
Yun Li stepped forward and said, "I just calculated that the food we can give out will be no more than one million dan at most, and we still have a month to go, which will reduce the pressure on me a lot."
"Um."
Xu Shifu also nodded: "I think this is feasible!"
After they spoke, all the ministers followed suit.
"Your Majesty, you cannot do that!"
At this time, the elder Zhang Huai suddenly said: "I just calculated that if we follow this approach, the amount of grain we have to give out will probably be more than 5 million dan!"
"How is that possible!"
Yun Li shook his head and laughed, "Master Zhang, I'm afraid you made a mistake in your calculations, right?"
Five million dan?
How do you calculate that?
"that is!"
The second prince nodded and said, "Isn't it just thirty days? How can you give out millions of dan of grain? Elder Zhang, you are old and must have made a mistake in your calculations."
"Wrong! You all calculated wrong!"
Zhang Huai shook his head and said, "This is a trap. It must cost more than five million dan!"
Zhang Huai stamped his feet in anxiety and said to Emperor Wen: "Your Majesty, I guarantee with my life that I will not make a mistake! This is definitely a trap!"
Listening to Zhang Huai's words, Emperor Wen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Indeed, he also felt it was a trap.
He just couldn't calculate it.
Zhang Huai was an old scholar and also the teacher of Emperor Wen when he was the crown prince. When it came to civil affairs and military skills, Zhang Huai might not be good, but when it came to academic research, Zhang Huai was an absolute authority.
What's more, Zhang Huai has already promised to guarantee it with his life.
Emperor Wen would definitely prefer to believe Zhang Huai.
"National Master, you are bullying me because I am incompetent!"
Emperor Wen sneered: "Do you think that a man like me who is so powerful can't even count points?"
"I underestimated Dagan."
Bambu smiled awkwardly, "However, this move can indeed reduce Da Gan's pressure! Since you have seen through me, I will not beat around the bush any more! Let's sign the agreement according to this, and I, Bei Huan, can get 5,000 war horses in exchange!"
Five thousand war horses?
Hearing Bambu's words, everyone's eyes lit up.
Five thousand war horses is no small number!
The total number of war horses slaughtered in various horse farms in Dagan in a year is less than 10,000!
Five thousand war horses in exchange for five million dan of grain. Although Dagan suffered a loss, it was not too big.
At least it is much more cost-effective than directly giving Beihuan 3 million dan of grain.
"Five thousand is still a little less."
Yun Li had just lost face, so he immediately spoke up to make his presence felt, "Ten thousand horses is more appropriate!"
"Yes, yes!" Xiao Wanchou agreed, "At least 10,000 horses!"
"impossible!"
Bambu refused without a second thought, "Six thousand at most! This is the limit for me, Beihuan!"
"Nine thousand horses, this is also my bottom line!"
"Seven thousand horses, no more!"
"No, let's each take a step back, eight thousand horses!"
"this……"
When it came to eight thousand horses, Bambu hesitated, as if he was about to move.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Wen immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, "Eight thousand war horses! If the Imperial Master agrees, we can sign the agreement right now!"
"this……"
Bambu was still hesitating.
Looking at Bambu's appearance, Yun Zheng couldn't help but curse inwardly.
This old guy is so sinister!
Knowing that Dagan was short of war horses, he deliberately shifted the conflict to the number of war horses.
Among all the civil and military officials in the court, no one paid attention to how much food should be given?
This old guy has a really good plan.
Step by step he led all the civil and military officials in the court into his trap.
"Father, wait a minute!"
Yun Zheng finally stood up and planned to teach Bambu a lesson.
Isn't this a chance for me to prove my innocence?
"Sixth Brother, this is none of your business, get out of here!"
Yun snapped, "Don't forget your business!"
The fourth brother, Yun Ting, also glared at Yun Zheng, "It's not your turn to get involved in this matter!"
"I have to get involved!"
Yun Zheng shook his head slightly, his eyes falling on Bambu again, "The Imperial Master is so calculating!"
"oh?"
Bambu looked at Yun Zheng with a smile, "What do you think, Sixth Prince?"
As he spoke, Bambu deliberately winked at Yun Zheng.
Seeing the eye contact between the two, Yun Li immediately petitioned Emperor Wen: "Father, please expel the Sixth Brother from the palace. Don't let him go with Bei Huan..."
"Shut up!"
Emperor Wen glared at Yun Li and said, "Listen to what they have to say! I want to hear what they have to say!"
After Emperor Wen spoke, Yun Li reluctantly stepped aside.
Xu Shifu secretly winked at Yun Li, signaling him not to say more.
In any case, Yun Zheng has already entered a situation where he is doomed to die.
No matter what he does, he cannot prove his innocence!
"Master, how about we make another bet?"
Yun Zheng stared at Bambu with a provocative look on his face.
"oh?"
Bambu said excitedly: "How does the Sixth Prince want to bet now? This national teacher lost to the Sixth Prince the day before yesterday, and he also wants to find an opportunity to bet with the Sixth Prince again!"
He really wanted to have another gamble with Yun Zheng to avenge his previous humiliation.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Yun Zheng has the opportunity to gamble with him.
Yun Zheng smiled and asked, "If we follow what the Imperial Master said, how much food do we need to give to Bei Huan on the 30th day?"
Bambu avoided answering and asked, "Does Your Highness know?"
"Do you think this prince knows?" Yun Zheng asked back.
Bambu thought for a moment and smiled, "Your Highness may know the approximate amount, but you definitely don't know the exact amount!"
He didn't believe Yun Zheng could calculate the exact number.
Looking around the world, perhaps someone can figure it out.
But it would be impossible for anyone to calculate the exact number without spending more than half a day!
"Then let's make a bet on this!"
Yun Zheng said solemnly: "If Your Highness tells me accurately, Beihuan will unconditionally give us 10,000 war horses!"
"Your Highness the Sixth Prince has a really big appetite!"
Bambu smiled and asked, "What if Your Highness is wrong?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "I'll give you my head!"
"Ha ha!"
Bambu laughed loudly and said with disdain, "Sixth Prince, to be frank, your head is not worth ten thousand war horses!"
Want to exchange the head of a useless prince for ten thousand war horses?
dream!
Even if his head was made of gold, it wouldn't be worth that!
“It seems so.”
Yun Zheng touched his head and thought for a while, then raised his hand and pointed at Yun Li, grinning and said: "Then add my third brother's head!"
