Chapter 419: More than million?
Chapter 419: More than million?
Staring at Yelu Lingxiao's cunning face, Qin Hao couldn't help but frown and cursed in his heart.
This old guy is very scheming and really insidious and cunning!
Knowing that Daxia was short of war horses, he deliberately shifted the focus to the number of war horses, cleverly diverting everyone's attention.
Among all the civil and military officials in the court, no one noticed the trap, and no one paid attention to how much food would be given?
This old man Yelu really had a plan in mind, and he led everyone into his carefully designed trap step by step.
Qin Hao saw that Yelu Lingxiao's purpose had been exposed, so he stopped pretending. Otherwise, Daxia would lose all its face because of these ministers.
He shook his head slightly, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, and then he set his gaze on Yelu Lingxiao, with a playful smile on his lips, "The King of the Southern Courtyard is so calculating!"
Facing Qin Hao's blunt words and provocative gaze, Yelu Lingxiao still maintained a half-smile on his face, pretending to be calm and said, "Oh? Your Majesty, Emperor of Daxia, where do you get this from? I really want to know, what is your opinion?
"King of the Southern Court, how about we make another bet?" Qin Hao looked directly at Yelu Lingxiao with a provocative and playful look on his face.
"Oh?"
Yelu Lingxiao asked excitedly, "Your Majesty, how do you want to bet? I lost to you yesterday, and I was just looking for an opportunity to bet with you again!"
He really wanted to have another gamble with Qin Hao to avenge his previous defeat.
But the premise of all this is, of course, that Qin Hao is willing to give him another chance.
Qin Hao smiled slightly, and that smile seemed to hide unfathomable wisdom and confidence. He slowly said: "If we follow the logic of King Nanyuan, how much food do we need to give to Beihuan on the 30th day?"
Yelu Lingxiao avoided answering and asked, "Does Your Majesty know?"
Yelu Lingxiao's eyes flickered, as if he was avoiding something. He looked up at Qin Hao and asked softly, "Does Your Majesty already have an answer in mind?"
"Do you think I know?" Qin Hao paused and asked indifferently.
Yelu Lingxiao pondered for a moment, a confident smile appeared on his lips, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty may be able to guess the approximate number, but I'm afraid even you can't calculate the exact number accurately."
He didn't believe Qin Hao could calculate the exact number.
Looking at the whole 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!
However, Yelu Lingxiao did not expect that Qin Hao already knew the number.
However, Qin Hao did not show it, but hid under a calm appearance, luring Yelu Lingxiao into the game, and then gave him a fatal blow at the critical moment.
"Then we'll make this our bet."
Qin Hao raised his lips and said sternly, "If I can give you the correct answer, how about your Liao Kingdom giving us 10,000 war horses unconditionally?"
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Daxia, you have a really big appetite! What if you are wrong?" Yelu Lingxiao smiled and asked back.
Qin Hao's lips curled up into a playful smile, but he quickly suppressed his ease and said seriously: "If I lose, the bet I made with you will be cancelled, and I will also give you the two million dan of grain you mentioned before!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the court, and all the ministers changed color and were in an uproar.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable!"
"Your Majesty, the King of the Southern Court is deliberately setting this up, you must not be fooled!"
"Your Majesty, national affairs cannot be taken lightly..."
For a moment, except for a few people, the rest of the people were excited and stood up one after another, strongly opposing this extremely absurd proposal.
They knew that if they really followed the bet, then if they lost, the imperial court would give two million dan of grain to the Liao Kingdom for nothing, which would undoubtedly be cutting meat to feed the tiger, while the other party would reap the benefits effortlessly.
"It doesn't matter! The previous bet was won by luck, so if I lose, I lose."
There was a sense of carefreeness and uninhibitedness in Qin Hao's words, as if winning or losing was nothing but a passing cloud to him.
He smiled slightly, his eyes like torches, scanning the crowd, and said calmly: "As for the two million dan of grain, I can tell you clearly that not a single grain of rice will be used from the national treasury."
"I will take this as a bet today, just to get a result."
result!
These two words hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer, and they instantly understood Qin Hao's intention.
His Majesty is telling everyone that he will do anything to get the answer he wants.
If they win, Daxia will certainly make huge money, and gain another 10,000 war horses for free.
If he lost, it would be Qin Hao's own bet that lost the bet. He did not use a single grain of food from the national treasury and took all the responsibility on himself.
Anyway, Daxia doesn't want to go to war with Liao now, so Qin Hao wants to buy peace of mind with two million dan of grain!
Yelu Lingxiao's face changed slightly. He didn't expect Qin Hao to be so decisive. But at this moment, he was already in a difficult situation and could only bite the bullet and fight.
"Prince of the Southern Courtyard, my royal brother has already agreed. What about you? Do you dare to bet?" Qin Yun stared at Yelu Lingxiao with contempt and shouted.
"Why wouldn't the king dare to do that?"
Yelu Lingxiao laughed confidently, "However, words are not enough. We should still write it down in black and white in the letters between the two countries as we did before, so as to prevent the Emperor of Daxia from regretting it later!"
Qin Hao smiled slightly, nodded in agreement, and ordered Shi Minghan to draft the gambling agreement immediately.
Shi Minghan did not dare to delay in the slightest and immediately took up his brush and wrote down the contents of the bet one by one.
Afterwards, Qin Hao personally picked up the national seal and pressed it heavily on the bet.
Seeing this, Yelu Lingxiao had no choice but to take out his seal and press it on the bet.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Daxia, you can speak now!" Yelu Lingxiao's face was filled with a smug smile, as if he had already won the victory.
"Then the King of the Southern Court and everyone present, listen carefully!"
Qin Hao suddenly raised his voice and said loudly: "By the 30th day, the amount of grain that our dynasty needs to provide to the Liao Kingdom is 1,737,018,240 dan!"
Coincidentally, Qin Hao was well versed in numbers, and he had already memorized the number two to the power of thirty.
He remembered this set of numbers very clearly.
Just now he had recalculated it again to verify his memory, so there was no way he could be wrong.
As Qin Hao finished speaking, everyone present was shocked by the number. They widened their eyes, as if they couldn't believe their ears.
"More than one billion dan? This is an astronomical figure!"
"How did you calculate this, Your Majesty?"
"How is it possible to calculate so many!"
