On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Huang Zhien took the abacus and wrote on the table while tapping it, sweating profusely in anxiety.

Chu Xiling also stood beside him and stared at him intently, but after an incense stick of time passed, there was still no answer.

In fact, Lin Zhen has already been very authentic. This problem is similar to the chicken and rabbit problem in the same cage. It's just that Huang Zhien doesn't understand equations at all and can only use an abacus to solve it.

That would be very troublesome.

"Da Huang, are you clear? I'm going to talk about the bet." Lin Zhen stood up and said, "Just now you bet your life with me, and I followed your lead. Since our biggest bet is the cession of the city, let's just go with a smaller one this time."

Huang Zhien's eyes almost turned green, he vaguely felt that Lin Zhen had bad intentions!

Then Lin Zhen said in a shocking tone, "I want you, Great Chu, to provide us with food. It won't be much, maybe five million catties."

"Impossible!" Before Huang Zhien could even speak, Chu Xiling shouted, "Even after autumn, there's no way my Great Chu could conjure up over five million kilograms of grain for you!"

"Oh? No?" Lin Zhen shrugged innocently.

"Well, I'll give in and allow you to pay in installments. If you lose, Great Chu will give us two kilograms of food on the first day, four kilograms on the second day, and eight kilograms on the third day. Every day thereafter, we'll give you twice as much as the day before. This will last for a full month."

Chu Xiling felt that Lin Zhen was up to something bad, but she just couldn't figure it out.

And that number doesn't sound like a lot...

According to this method, at most a few hundred thousand kilograms can be produced in a month.

"Okay, let's take this as a note!"

"Princess, you absolutely cannot do that!" Huang Zhien reacted and immediately advised, "If we follow Lin Zhen's advice, we'll have to provide at least one million kilograms of food this month! We'll be losing money!"

one million?

Lin Zhen couldn't help sneering in his heart.

This seemingly cost-effective method is actually the most terrifying, because by the end of the month the number will be 2 to the power of 30.

That’s more than 100 million!

Lin Zhen actually knew very well that even if he emptied the Chu State, he would not be able to produce so much food.

He just needed a legitimate reason. If the State of Chu refused to pay later, they would lose their international credibility and status, which would be a good thing for Daqian. Moreover, once the State of Chu invaded the border, Daqian would have sufficient reason to fight back.

At the same time, Lin Zhen also hopes to help as much as possible in the Qian-Chu battle three months later.

The State of Chu would certainly not realize the problem with its food supply until halfway through, by which time a lot of their food would have already gone into their own pockets.

When the war begins, I can use this food to help the soldiers on the front lines.

As long as there is food, Lin Zhenxian will never be defeated by the State of Chu with his military capabilities.

Huang Zhien kept trying to persuade him, but Chu Xiling couldn't bear to see Lin Zhen's smug look, so she shouted angrily, "It's just a million kilograms of grain. I, Great Chu, have made a bet!"

After saying that, he looked at Huang Zhien: "Do you have an answer?"

"Have..."

"Then tell me quickly!"

Huang Zhien looked at Lin Zhen with a guilty conscience and said, "In these eight days, six of them were rainy and two were sunny."

Chu Xiling looked like a smug villain, with her chin held high.

However, Lin Zhen didn't even raise his eyelids: "Do you have any calculation process?"

"No..."

"So it's all just nonsense?"

Huang Zhien did some calculations and said, "If Prince Lin wants to calculate the process, it will definitely be possible within three years."

"Hahahaha, three years!? You're going to make us sit in this throne room for three years?"

"Old Huang! You're considered a famous scholar, but you're actually playing the blind cat catching a dead mouse trick!"

"Are you ashamed?!"

"It wouldn't be a victory without a calculation process. Princess Qingqiu, don't forget our food!"

Being criticized by everyone is not a good feeling. This is how Chu Yuxuan feels now.

She felt her face burning, and every inch of her skin was rising. She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. "Don't worry, Da Chu will not be able to afford to lose."

"Hahahaha, Your Majesty, Prince Lin has won another round!"

"The prince is awesome!"

Murong Yan looked at the figure in the field, and there was a hint of relief in her smile.

Although the Lin family is extremely powerful, they are still loyal to Daqian.

This is a blessing in disguise.

Chu Xiling looked at the officials of Daqian who were taking advantage of their power and then looked at the ugly faces of the envoys from other countries who were trying to suppress their laughter, and she felt so angry that her teeth were itching.

There has always been intrigue among the countries, and this time the envoys were able to take time out of their busy schedules to come and celebrate the birthday. To put it bluntly, they came to watch the fun.

No matter whether it is Daqian or Dachu, as long as there is excitement, they are happy.

Huang Zhien walked over and said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Princess, I am ashamed of your trust..."

Although Chu Xiling was unwilling, she waved her hands, trying to suppress her anger and said, "It's okay. This is just the first round of the competition. There's no reason for the Great Chu to be unable to afford to lose."

"This...sigh." Huang Zhien sighed and returned to his seat.

Having just won a match, Murong Yan was in a good mood and was looking forward to the next competition more and more.

Chu Xiling came into the hall again and said to her, "Your Majesty, I, Great Chu, admit defeat in this first round. However, you will not be able to win the next two rounds."

"Hahaha, I just like seeing your confident expression. Come on and ask the questions."

"In the second round, we'll compare it to poetry."

"Write poetry?" Murong Yan frowned slightly.

Daqian has never produced any good poems in its history. It seems that the State of Chu is determined to win today.

Gu Yunting saw that something was not right and immediately said, "Your Majesty, I believe that we are not obliged to accept every test. We should have the right to ask the Princess of Chu to change the test questions."

"That's right, Chu Xiling, I have no obligation to agree to your request."

"Oh?" Chu Xiling raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically, "Is His Majesty the Emperor going to be cowardly and not fight again?"

Gu Yunting shouted, "How dare you! When has His Majesty ever been afraid of a fight? You are the ones taking advantage of the situation to plot against Qinghe County!"

Chu Xiling didn't even look at him.

The only reason he became prime minister was because the royal family needed to restrain Lin Zhenxian. Otherwise, with his level, becoming a Yuanwailang would be considered a promotion.

Murong Yan was very unhappy with Chu Xiling's expression.

They are all women.

Especially since two very beautiful women are natural enemies.

Murong Yan was irritated. She slammed the dragon table and looked at Lin Zhen: "Lin Zhen, are you sure you can fight?"

grasp?

If you can’t even recite a poem, can you become a central selected student?

Do you know how difficult it is for us to memorize the origins of poems and songs before exams?

Lin Zhen bowed with both hands and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I am sure that the scholars of Chu will never dare to write poetry again in their lifetime."

"Hahahaha, you little brat, how dare you show off in front of me!" A hearty laughter came from the Chu camp.

With the appearance of an old man, everyone present gasped!

"hiss!"

"Ah? It's him?"
