Chapter 301: Xu Qing Makes A Move
It didn't take long for the general's horse drinking issue to be thrown out by the envoy of Zhou State, and the whole dust-cleaning banquet was full of debates.
Several Ph.D.s in mathematics from the Imperial College wiped their sweat while solving the problem. If the problem cannot be solved, it will lose the face of the entire Great Chu State.
You can't use the usual attitude of forgetting if you can't solve it.
Not only a few Ph.D.s from the National Supervision Department, but even the sitting civil and military officials copied a copy and began to think about it.
Hubu Shangshu: "Hey mother! Which general went to drink the horse by himself? General Wang, are you going?"
The armored general sitting on the side patted the table and said angrily: "Nonsense! How could the general go to drink the horses himself? I usually send personal guards to go! Besides, is there no water in the manger? Why did you have to run to the river?" Drinking horses?"
Another armored general also said: "What's more nonsense is coming out of the camp to inspect the barracks after drinking the horses? Isn't the general's camp in the middle of the barracks? Why is the general's camp separated from the barracks in this question? Are the Chinese people out of their minds?"
Another general nodded and said: "This question is simply nonsense. The general's tent is placed in one place alone and it is so far away from the barracks. How to dispatch it? How to command? Nonsense! No wonder Zhou State was taken down by us in two cities. The level of soldiers is not as good as my son! No, it is not as good as my newborn grandson!"
...
"Ah? What? Zhou Guoren is a grandson?"
"Haven't they always been grandchildren?"
"It seems to be true."
"Right, didn't our grandson be able to win two cities in a row? We have to let the two princesses come to make peace to quell the war?"
"That's it"
...
Deputy envoy Zhou, who had been sitting and waiting for Chu to embarrass himself, felt more and more wrong as he waited. How could he solve the problem and talk about what happened twelve years ago?
Can we stop stabbing others?
The deputy envoy of the state of Zhou, who couldn't sit still, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "The general's going to drink horses is just a mere example, and it's the same if it's another thing. Could it be that the dignified state of Chu can't even solve such a simple problem? ?"
"This envoy sees that the state of Chu is also incompetent, that's all, let this envoy go back to China and ask my doctor from the Imperial College of the Great Zhou."
As soon as he said this, the surroundings suddenly became quiet again, and several Ph.Ds in computer science from the Imperial Academy continued to stare at the topic, their heads almost getting dizzy.
Even Jiang Xiang and Qin Xiang were staring at the question, drawing and vetoing it on the straw paper beside them, but they couldn't find the answer in the end.
The Emperor Chu clenched his fists in his sleeves, and said, "Don't worry, the envoy, I have a vast land and abundant resources, and I have capable people and strange people who can solve this problem."
Afterwards, the Emperor Chu ordered: "Let the order go on, and whoever can solve this problem will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and a pair of jade Ruyi Scepters."
"Your Majesty, I can untie it!"
Emperor Chu had just finished speaking, and the words hadn't finished yet, and the reverberation was still echoing in the hall when he heard an extremely familiar voice.
Everyone looked in one direction, and Amber stood up slowly.
Xiao Ye pulled Xu Qing: "Didn't Brother Xu just say he didn't want to join the war?"
Xu Qing: "If there is money to take, a fool will not join."
Xiao Ye: "..."
...
The Emperor Chu looked at Xu Qing who stood up from his seat and said happily, "Oh? Andingbo can be solved?"
Xu Qing nodded, walked out and took the test paper, then returned to his seat, picked up the writing brush beside him, sketched a few lines at random, and handed it back to the envoy of Zhou Guo: "In this way, is it right? "Deputy Envoy Zhou Guo was stunned when he saw the drawings drawn under the test questions. Yes, not only right, but also simpler than the plan that the entire Imperial College spent two months deliberating on.
In the end, he could only admit: "This question, yes..."
Immediately, the eyes of the people around looked at Xu Qing. The civil servants and military generals of the court thought about the question for a long time, but Xu Qing drew a few random lines on the paper and solved it?
But because of etiquette, they couldn't gather around to see what Xu Qing drew right now.
Even Emperor Chu had an approving expression on his face, Xu Qing has never let herself down.
Suddenly the Emperor Chu looked suspicious again, why didn't he stand up earlier? Xu Qing said: "Deputy envoy, do you have any other questions?"
It doesn’t matter whether the problem is solved or not. The main thing is that the emperor of Chu will give one thousand taels for solving a problem. There are also two jade Ruyi Scepters. It seems that they are worth a lot of money if they are sold.
With a few more questions, Xu Qing can make a fortune in minutes! Even though he is rich now.
Deputy Zhou Guo was slightly taken aback. Is this an addiction to solving problems?
Deputy Zhou Guo's throat moved: "No more."
It took two months to prepare this one. Originally, I came here with the purpose of absolutely not allowing Chu to solve it, but now it was solved after being drawn a few lines by others. How can there be other questions? ? !
Xu Qing stared at Deputy Envoy Zhou Guo: "You better have this."
Deputy envoy Zhou Guo felt a little guilty when Xu Qing stared at him like this, and quickly shook his head: "This is really gone!"
As the saying goes, cutting off one's wealth is like killing one's parents, Xu Qing immediately began to hate the Deputy Envoy of the State of Zhou, and decided to show him some flair.
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Xu Qing's face: "Deputy envoy, I heard that Zhou Guo is good at arithmetic. I also have a question here, and I want to ask the deputy envoy for advice."
Deputy Envoy Zhou Guo nodded subconsciously: "Please tell me."
Then I realized something was wrong, Zhou Guo was proficient in arithmetic, but it didn't mean he was proficient in it too! As his deputy envoy, he relied on his family's relationship with the queen and aunt to become this deputy envoy, and the mission this time was also very simple, basically no difficulty, so His Majesty just turned a blind eye and agreed.
The person in front of him can even easily solve the problem that the Guozi Supervisor's Computing Division has drawn up for two months, who knows what problem he will come up with!
Xu Qing looked at Deputy Envoy Zhou Guo and said: "Suppose there is a Huaqing Pool in the palace. Mr. Zhong can fill the Huaqing Pool with 800 buckets of water in a large bucket. It takes a quarter of an hour to lift a bucket of water. A thousand barrels of water can drain the water in Huaqing Pool, and each bucket of water takes two quarters of an hour, may I ask how long it will take Master Zhong to fill the water in Huaqing Pool?"
[This Huaqing Pool is not the Huaqing Pool in reality, it is a fictional work. 】
As soon as this question came up, the audience was silent, even the Emperor Chu was speechless.
After a while, the Hubu Shangshu came back to his senses and touched the Gongbu Shangshu next to him: "Master Zhong, is your Gongbu Shangshu filling the Huaqing Pool in the palace yourself?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry touched the Minister of the Ministry of Officials on the side, and his throat moved: "It doesn't matter whether you are in person or not. I want to ask, why is Mr. Li also pouring water for me when I am filling the water? Mr. Li , are you feeling a little flustered?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Officials looked confused: "That's right, why do I have to release water? And I have to put a thousand barrels, and I don't have that time! Even if there is that time, Huaqing Pool is in the harem, and I can't get in what."
Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "I can't even get in!"
...
Liubu Shangshu's heart: Is this a fucking problem that people can think of? !
