v2.Chapter 350

Yu Fu asked because she had a intuition that sang Yi's intention was not simple.

Other countries sent envoys to try to show their national strength, but the left minister was extremely humble and said that his own country was barren and barren.

Is it because he is too sincere, or is it because the king of sangyi sent so many people to send envoys all the way and chose a principal envoy who has no self-respect?

Obviously not.

The left minister bowed his hand respectfully and said, "to your majesty, the king of our country has said that it is the most important thing for our subjects to learn etiquette culture from mainland powers in all dynasties. We would rather be short of food and clothing than live like barbarians. "

This is quite shocking.

I don't know whether the left minister knows the three words of sangyi Kingdom, which is a kind of contempt for them and contains the meaning of barbarians.

It is said that when the people of sangyi first came to this continent, they claimed to come from the place where the sun rose and transliterated it as sang in their own language. People at that time saw that they were still wearing animal skin and straw sandals, and they were contemptuous, so they translated their country as sangyi.

Now the envoys of the sangyi kingdom come here again. They call themselves sangyi people in the language of Kyushu. They say they don't want to live like barbarians. It's ironic.

Yufu nodded slightly, tianyunpo stood up at the right time and said, "our country is a big country with strong national strength. Since the king of your country has given such a generous gift, your majesty will naturally return the same gift, and you will not suffer any loss. "

Minister Zuo and others were flattered and bowed to thank him, "thank you for your grace."

Yu Fu face with a faint smile, did not say much.

She still had doubts about sangyi's envoys, but the etiquette of communication between the two countries should be like this. Those small tribes in the Far West and far north of Kyushu mainland could get a lot of rewards when they came to Beili to worship.

Since the envoys of sangyi came all the way, they should be more generous.

The left minister slowly raised his head and said to Chao Yu: "I heard that there is a saying in Beili, which is called Chao Wen Dao. I don't know if I can die in the evening, right?"

Yufu chuckled, "the emissary has read a lot about my Beili's poems and books. It's true that Confucius said this sentence. I see that you sangyi have such spirit. In order to study in Beili, you'd rather go across the sea and risk coming. "

The left minister laughed, and his mustache moved. "I have some problems that can't be solved in the Middle Kingdom. I want to come to Beili to ask for advice from your capable people and talents. Please help me. As Confucius said, "if you can hear the Tao, you can die."

All the people in the court listened to his advice in a sincere way. They were unavoidably arrogant and showed no fear.

Yu Fu, because of his affection, could not refuse to ask questions from the Minister of sangyi. He said, "if you have any problems, please tell me. We can learn from each other, and even if we can't find the answer, there will always be some gains. "

She kept her words alive and didn't want to embarrass the scene.

Minister Zuo said happily: "the first question is like this. Please listen carefully. An eminent monk sat under a tree and saw a young man running in front of him, followed by a big man with a knife. The great man asked the eminent monk where he saw the young man going, and how should he answer? "

"The premise is that monks don't lie and eminent monks can't lie. Moreover, the monks have the virtue of living happily. The eminent monks can't reveal the trace of the young people to the swordsman. "

I thought it was a matter of human nature. After hearing minister Zuo's premise, the ministers gradually understood that it was a matter of logic.

An eminent monk can't lie, so he can't cheat a great man. But the eminent monks have the virtue of loving life, and they can't tell the young man where he really is.

To tell is not to tell or not to tell. The minister in the seat fell into silence.

They had underestimated the envoys of sangyi before, but they didn't expect that their questions were so sharp and tricky.

Left minister is not anxious, patiently waiting for the courtiers to answer, good appearance seems to have expected no one to answer.

After a while, he said, "Your Majesty, I wonder who can help me?"

Tian Yun Po subconsciously looks at Gu Shubai, who shakes his head slightly, indicating that he has not thought of a suitable answer.

It is absolutely impossible for him to lose the prestige of Beili in front of a small barbarian country. In his mind, he quickly thought about how to get rid of this problem without losing the prestige of Beili

"Minister Zuo, my dear ministers, haven't they already given you the answer?"

What?

The left minister frowned for the first time since he entered the hall and looked up in surprise, "Your Majesty, when did you give me the answer?"

Yu Fu said with a smile, "my dear ministers have just been silent. Isn't silence the most appropriate answer for the eminent monk? Since neither answer is right, it is better not to answer. "

This answer is unexpected, but the more I think about it, the more reasonable I feel.

In this way, it will not violate the Buddhist creed, and it will not make the matter worse. There is no more reasonable answer.

Minister Zuo refused to let him go easily. "But if the eminent monk didn't say a word, the man with the sword finally found the trace of the young man and killed him, wouldn't it be the fault that the eminent monk didn't help him?""Minister Zuo's words are different."

Yu Fu smiles, like Guanyin picking flowers on the altar, "what the eminent monk sees is only a big man chasing the young man with a knife. Who knows if the young man is a criminal, and whether the big man is a local yamen who pursues criminals? If so, isn't it a good intention to do something wrong that the eminent monk falsely said that he saved the young man? "

People can't help nodding when they hear the words, which is reasonable.

Previously, listening to the description of minister Zuo, people subconsciously thought that the youth was innocent, while the man with a knife was vicious. Now they realize their limitations.

Minister Zuo asked: "Buddhism says that if you put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately, even if this young man commits a crime, it's better to give him a chance to become a Buddha immediately, isn't it?"

Gu Shubai stood up and said with a smile: "minister Zuo's words are more and more inappropriate. Although Buddhism has the virtue of loving life, it also distinguishes right from wrong, and has never been an enemy of the imperial court. The court has its own rules. If the officers pursue the fugitives, can the eminent monks stop them with lies? "

Seeing the mention of the court's legal system, the left minister did not dare to fight against it, so as not to be questioned that their sangyi state would not yield to Beili.

He then said, "but it is not clear what the identity of the young man and the great man is. How can we conclude that it must be the prisoners and the servants? If it's an innocent poor boy and a ferocious bandit, I don't know! "

"That's the truth."

Yu Fu said: "since I don't know the identity of them, and I don't know what they are pursuing, why should I step in as eminent monks? It is said in the Buddhist Scripture that good causes good results and evil causes evil results. If young people commit crimes, they will be punished. If they are innocent, they will not suffer. There is no need to interfere. "

She had always loved reading. Although she did not respect Buddhism, she had also read several Buddhist scriptures. Now she had them at hand, and she immediately bluffed minister Zuo.

Tianyun burst into a smile, and Zhang jiuque said softly beside him, "sangyi's Buddhism is also learned from Beili. He talks about the cause and effect of Buddhism with a knowledgeable person like your majesty. Isn't it that the apprentice wants to challenge his master before he finishes his teaching?"

"What Taibao said is true. You see, Minister Zuo's face is gray."

Zhang jiuque looked at the left minister standing in the hall. Behind him, a group of envoys whispered. Although they could not understand what they were saying, they shook their heads and sighed, which was enough to see the defeat.

Left minister standing body, bow hand salute, "minister, thank your majesty for our sangyi country solved a century problem!"

"It's just small."

Yu Fu smiles faintly, and the king's atmosphere shows.

The left minister said: "the second question, please do not hesitate to give me your advice. The topic is like this. Today, a rooster is worth five yuan, a hen is worth three yuan, and a chick is worth one yuan. How many cocks, hens and chicks do you want to buy with 100 yuan

At the end of the question, a minister could not help saying, "what kind of problem is this? Even if you can't figure it out, you can deduce the number one by one. Is it worth asking your majesty and his ministers? "

This is not without reason.

The left minister turned to the minister who opened his mouth and said respectfully, "what you said is that we have an answer to this question. But it takes a quarter of an hour for the fastest person in sangyi state to calculate this problem. I want to see if there are any people in your country who can calculate faster. "

Yu Tianyun snorted, "is minister Zuo here to study in our country, or to test his majesty and ministers of Manchuria? Since it is a question that has already been answered, why ask more? "

The left minister turned to him again with a smile, "of course, I'm here to study. How dare I test your majesty and your adults? But if your majesty and your elders can calculate faster, there must be a more concise method. If you want to learn this method, you will be able to improve the level of arithmetic in the future. "

That's a good reason.

For a moment, everyone was speechless, thinking about the question he had just raised.

The most talented people in sangyi country used a quarter of an hour to calculate it, so they must calculate less than a quarter of an hour.

Fortunately, Wen Chen has wat board and pen in his hand, which can be used as a standing calculus in the palace. The generals have no tools to calculate, and they are not good at calculation. They just think about it in their mind and then put down their ideas.

Gu Shubai looks up. Yu Fu holds her cheek with her hand. It seems that she is thinking about this problem. There is a pen and paper in the imperial case in front of her, but she doesn't use it at all.

Gu Shubai laughed and stood up first and said, "there are four cocks, eighteen hens and seventy-eight chicks. Minister Zuo, am I right? "

It's less than a cup of tea time!

All the ministers calculated according to Gu Shubai's answer, "five bucks for one Rooster and twenty bucks for four. Three for a hen, fifty-four for eighteen. Three chickens for one, seventy-eight for twenty-six, which adds up to one hundred

"General Gu is really a man of letters and martial arts. I admire him

"Yes, I haven't worked out a shadow yet, but the general has worked out the correct answer!"

All the ministers couldn't help admiring him. Yu Fu was amused. He thought who wrote to punish Gu Shubai for raising his little wife outside a few days ago. The wind of these ministers was really fast.

I'm afraid I've done nothing.It's useless for him to ruin his reputation. As long as he's still here, his talent will make people admire him and support him.

Among the laughter of the ministers, only Tian Yun broke his brow and frowned slightly, as if he wanted to talk and stop.

But left minister but smile not language, a humility appearance, audience minister speak, noncommittal.

Yu Fu looked at the left minister, and then looked at the sky cloud to break, "the grand master has something to say, why is it boring?"

The eyes of all the ministers turned to tianyunpo. Tianyunpo hesitated for a moment, and finally stood up. "I also worked out the answer, but it was different from general Gu, and I hesitated."

Yu Fu didn't seem surprised at all. He just raised his hand and said, "it's OK to say that, grand master."

The sky cloud breaks a way: "the minister calculates is, cock 8, hen 11, chicken young 81."

Zhang jiuque said, "eight cocks are forty, eleven hens are thirty-three, and eighty-one cocks are twenty-seven. Add up here It's just a hundred dollars! "

There were two completely different answers to a question. After calculation, the ministers found that tianyunpo's answer was right. They could not help looking at the left minister in the palace.

"How can there be two answers to this question? It seems that both answers are right!"

Minister Zuo's smile was no surprise. When he wanted to open his mouth, Yu Fu said: "in fact, these two answers are right. There are more than two correct answers to this question. I have another answer here. You and Minister Zuo can listen to it. "

What's the answer?

The ministers were surprised, and the left minister raised his head in surprise.

Yu Fu said, "my answer is twelve cocks, four hens and eighty-four chicks."

After hearing this, everyone calculated that the sum of these figures is exactly 100 yuan. It seems that these three answers are all right.

The left minister finally showed a look of admiration, "Beili is a good place with outstanding people. There are many talented people in the court. I admire you! As your majesty said, these three answers are correct. No one in our country has ever been able to answer these three answers. Even one of them will take a long time. And general Gu can quickly calculate the answer without paper and pen, and the calculation speed of tiantaishi is also very fast. What I admire most is your majesty

"Your Majesty can think of a third answer on the premise that he has got two answers, and he has not used pen and paper. How many people can do so without being limited to ready-made answers? It can be seen that your Majesty's mind is very quick. I'm willing to bow down to you

……

Several difficult problems raised by sangyi envoys in the court hall were finally solved.

Not only let Beili maintain the dignity of a big country, but also let sangyi envoys very satisfied. They said that their trip to school was worthwhile.

The guests and the host enjoyed each other and enjoyed each other.

Yufuming people took sang Yi and his envoys to visit Beijing. They also arranged Taixue, cangjing Pavilion and other places, so that they could read books at will, and the great Confucian scholar explained to them.

As for the official textile workshop, porcelain workshop and woodworking workshop in the capital, Minister Zuo and others were also very interested. Naturally, Yu Fu allowed them to watch and study everywhere.

"Now you should rest assured that these sangyi envoys have come to Beijing to pay tribute. It seems that they are really here to study. I heard that the reason why their mission is so large is that it has brought all kinds of skilled craftsmen from the middle school to learn more advanced technology. "

After Chen Jingxing reported the recent whereabouts of sangyi envoys, Gu Shubai said.

Yu Fu nodded slightly. "I thought too much before. Maybe it's because sangyi is a distant foreign country. Their body shape, appearance and dress are far behind us. They always look strange, which inevitably makes me uncomfortable. Apart from the questions they raised on the first day of the audience, they are busy learning skills every day. It seems that they really have no other mind. "

Gu Shubai said with a smile: "Although learning is a good thing, is Beili a country that is complacent and generous. But some things are the most important things of the country, and they still can't learn them. Like... "

"Artillery?"

Gu Shu nodded, and Yu Fu said thoughtfully, "you're right. Once a weapon with extremely high lethality, such as artillery, is learned, if it is used in vicious lifting, the consequences will be unimaginable. Both the Ministry of work and the Ministry of arms need to tell them that some of Beili's secret weapons should not be read and studied by them at will. "

Speaking of the Ministry of work, Yu Fu said, "didn't the Secretary of the Ministry of work mean to learn from the ships of sangyi before? It's better to discuss with Minister Zuo and let the Ministry of industry send people on board to study. If you can get more detailed drawings, it's easier to learn. What do you think? "

Gu Shu's white eyebrows frowned, and he seemed to have doubts about it.

Note: the title of rooster comes from Zhang Qiu Jian's Suan Jing. The source of the title of eminent monk can't be tested. If you are interested, you can have a look at it.
