Papa frowned, and he was beginning to feel a little impatient, but he still politely replied: "Brother Fang, if I'm not mistaken, this is just an ordinary chessboard."
"Yes! It is indeed only a chessboard, but if I put one grain of wheat in the first square of the chessboard, two grains in the second square, four grains in the third square, and so on, how many grains of wheat will I need in total?"
Paba's eyes twitched twice.
What exactly is he trying to say? I can't tell at all!
"I think...it should be at least tens of thousands of pills." Paba said in a muffled voice.
"Wrong! There's not enough food in the whole world!"
Pa Ba couldn't hold it in any longer, and said with a smile: "Brother Fang, what are you trying to say? I don't understand it at all!"
Fang Zheng handed him the chessboard with a smile, then turned to the reporter behind him and said, "Did you write everything down?"
The reporter kept writing and replied without even looking up: "I've got it down."
Then Fang Zhengyi looked at Paba and said, "Master, please don't misunderstand me. There is nothing special about it. It's a rare occasion for our two countries to meet, so we have to leave some beautiful stories behind!"
"I give you a gift, let the journalists record it, and spread it around the world. It's that simple."
I just want to be the protagonist of Future Yilin, Zhiyin, Story Club, and XXX magazine! It's that simple!
Pa Ba shook his head helplessly: "Brother Fang, I appreciate your kindness."
"I heard that you recently opened a textile factory in the capital and recruited a large number of female workers. Is this true?"
Fang Zheng glanced at him and said, "Master, you are really well-informed! Speaking of this textile factory, the future may be closely related to you and me."
"Maybe in the future we will build a new factory to make clothes with wool. When the trade routes between our two countries are open, we will buy as much wool as you have at a high price!"
Papa's eyes lit up: "Are you serious?"
"Seriously! You have to take it seriously!"
Pa Ba smiled and said, "Okay! Then I will look forward to Brother Fang coming to collect our wool."
"It's getting late now. I should go now. Let's say goodbye now!"
Fang Zheng bowed his hands.
Paba turned and left, saying goodbye to the officials of the courtyard one by one.
After calling everyone back, we boarded the return convoy...
........
On the road, Chi Lie was riding on a horse, giving people an extremely majestic feeling like an iron tower.
But at this moment, he was a little less energetic.
Looking at Paba who was dozing with his eyes closed in the carriage, he said angrily: "Master, why don't you let me go find Zhang Biao!"
"No need. Losing is losing. It's not shameful." Paba slowly opened his eyes. "He's just a scumbag. Why should you take it to heart?"
"Trade is the most important thing. The Khan is in urgent need of ironware. If we can build a few more Silver Wolf Riders in the next ten years, then Jingguo will be like a lamb to be slaughtered. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Zhang Biao is nothing, Fang Zhengyi is the real enemy!"
"Jianjiang flood, food disaster, killing corrupt officials, Taoyuan County, Banshanfang... This man can be regarded as a loyal minister."
After he said this, Chi Lie's attention was immediately diverted: "I remember you said that this person is an outlier in the officialdom. If he is so capable, why is he still being excluded?"
Pa Ba laughed: "This is the officialdom of Dajing! Internal strife!"
"You don't understand! No matter how many achievements he makes, it is useless. As long as he is in this court, his colleagues will think that his achievements are achieved with the support of the court."
"In other words, in the eyes of his colleagues, without the court, he is nothing. Even if Fang Zhengyi accomplishes something, deep down they will think it is just luck, it's that simple."
Chi Lie frowned: "How is it possible? Are all the ministers of Jing State blind?"
"People in the know are often confused! Of course, it's impossible that all of them are blind."
Chi Lie thought for a moment: "Then....will the things you left in the inn still be useful? Aren't they too simple?"
"The people of Jing are very cunning. They will definitely watch it, especially since Zhang Shi is here. It's no secret that he and Fang Zhengyi don't get along."
"After half a day, remember to find someone to retrieve the things we left behind. As for how serious the situation will be... it depends on God's will." Paba said indifferently, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and shouted to the convoy in front: "Lihan! Come here!"
Li Han, who was traveling in the convoy in front, immediately trotted to Paba.
"National Master, what do you want me to do?"
"Just now Fang Zhengyi asked you to go out with the reporters. What did you say to them? Repeat it to me verbatim!"
"Nothing was said. They just asked me to say a few words of blessing to the people of Beijing in my hometown dialect, and then asked me to say it again in Dajing dialect." Li Han tilted his head, recalling the previous interviews, and the words those people taught him to say...
Then he stretched his neck, glared, raised his thumb and said loudly: "Our Dajing is really amazing. Beirong's barbecue is not delicious! Add Dajing's ingredients, it's delicious! I want to be a Dajing person in my next life!"
"Pa!!" A slap with unparalleled speed flew towards Li Han's face.
Li Han saw stars in his eyes, and for a moment the only sound in his world was the buzzing sound...
His vision slowly returned, and he saw Paba looking at him with a grim face, squeezing out a word from between his teeth.
"roll!!!"
