Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 320
The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar again. Why did Xu Qing ask if there were any sheep in the grassland?Could it be that he doesn't know the grasslands, probably not? Could it be that Xu Qing wants to use sheep to make articles, which is bad, this sheep is the wheat of the Turkic people, and you, Mr. Xu, can't do it when it comes to sheep.

Horqin, the Turkic envoy, laughed and said, "Hahaha, Mr. Xu is joking. My grassland is full of cattle and sheep, and horses are like clouds. Do you think we have sheep?"

Xu Qing asked again: "The envoy is very familiar with sheep?"

The Turkic envoy raised his head and said: "People in my grassland are all familiar with sheep as they are familiar with their own bodies. Whether it is Tan sheep, Hu sheep, Qing sheep, or gazelle, I know it all. If Master Xu asks me here, I am Turkic." Will never invade Datang!"

Of course Xu Qing would not believe his evil, but said: "That's right, I just have a question about sheep, and I want to ask the envoy. Please listen to the question: There are ten thousand lambs and ten thousand ewes, surrounded by Two fences, dare to ask the messenger, is there any way for me to distinguish between lambs and ewes in one day."

There was a click, the sound of the jaws of the ministers and the Turkic envoy smashing the floor.

The Turkic envoy asked hesitantly, "How many sheep?"

"Ten thousand lambs, ten thousand ewes," Xu Qing stretched out his fingers, and added in order to prevent the Turkic envoy from saying something rascal that we don't have in the grassland, "Why can't even ten thousand sheep be found on the grassland?"

Horqin just said that cattle and sheep are everywhere, so of course he could only say: "No, no, there are far more than [-] sheep in our grassland. Oh, oh, how many people did Master Xu just say to pair these ewes and lambs?"

Xu Qing smiled and said: "The next one, of course, must not be alone on the grassland to herd sheep. Today is a comparison, so naturally it will be a little more difficult. You also said just now, the messenger, it is not about sheep. Yes, will it do anything?"

The Turkic envoy was at a loss for words for a while, and secretly cursed Xu Qing in his heart, what a clever ghost, he even asked me an arithmetic problem with sheep.However, this arithmetic problem is a bit difficult. How can one person match 86 sheep with their offspring in one day?One one gets one, one two gets two, two [-], tsk tsk tsk, let me do the math.

Manchu civil and military, at this time, instead of looking at the ground, they looked at the ceiling, and they were also reciting in a low voice, one one gets one, one two gets two...  
Li Yuan glanced at the officials in the hall, and sighed, these nerds, what happened today.Could it be that Xu Qing is the only talented person in my Tang Dynasty to help me?Xu Qing was pacing in the hall, and he was relieved to hear that they had all gone to count.Not long after, the Turkic envoy reported: "The emperor, please give me a pen and paper, and I will count it."

Li Yuan would not refuse either, nodded and said: "Yes, come, I will serve you with pen and ink."

Cheng Yaojin looked at his two hands and ten fingers, and Balabala calculated: "One sheep, send it here, the others... no. One sheep, it takes an hour to send it to the ewe, and there are only twelve in a day." Only……"

Just in time, Xu Qing walked up to his eyes, Cheng Yaojin's eyes were quick, he pulled Xu Qing over and said: "Boy Xu, old Cheng, I'm short of fingers, you can lend me some!"

Xu Qing didn't dare to send his hand over, he just said quietly: "Brother Cheng, don't count, as long as you know four words."

Cheng Yaojin was a cat, pushed away several generals around him, and asked, "These four words?"

Xu Qing leaned into Cheng Yaojin's ear and said, "Brother Cheng, just remember the words 'mother and child connect'!"

Cheng Yaojin understood instantly, and looked at Xu Qing with wide eyes, then nodded and said: "You boy, if there is a war, won't others be killed by you?"

Xu Qing was speechless, hurriedly pretending to be helpless, and continued to pace with his arms spread out.

This time, Cheng Yaojin knew the answer, and he also stood up and laughed around: "My old Cheng knows the answer, Pei Ji, do you know? Hehe."

The Turkic envoy was still writing, so there was no need for Xu Qing to urge him, Cheng Yaojin would go naturally.Cheng Yaojin said: "That Turkic man, did you bring melon seeds with you? Why haven't you figured it out after so long?"

"Hey, I said you Turkic people, why do you always love to go south when you have nothing to do? You don't have any skills. You can't do such a simple arithmetic."

"You Turk, if it were my son, you would have been hanged from a tree and beaten to death, no, you don't need to be beaten at all, you are so stupid!"

Cheng Yaojin's words not only satirized the Turkic envoy, but also tilted his mouth and eyes towards the civil servants, making all the civil servants look down at the floor again.At this moment Li Yuan coughed and said: "Knowing the festival, don't make trouble."

After hearing Li Yuan's words, Cheng Yaojin returned to his seat, and said sarcastically when he left: "Your Majesty, it's not my old Cheng trouble, it's because they are too blunt, a bunch of idiots."

Xu Qing also had a good temper, allowing the Turkic envoy to write a stick of incense time on the case table.But the Turkic envoy still didn't think of a way, and for the sake of saving face, he still had to think about it.At this time, Pei Ji clapped his palms and smiled, and said with a beard: "Report to the emperor, the minister also knows."

Seeing Pei Ji's eyes, Li Yuan's heart suddenly enlightened, ten thousand ewes, ten thousand lambs, the lambs seek their mother's milk, and they find their own mother, so one person can determine their mother and child!

A few more officials understood one after another, but the Turkic envoy still frowned. At this time, he also knew that he could not drag on any longer, so he could only cast his pen and cupped his hands and said: "The Tang Dynasty is full of talents, it is better to admit defeat today." , I also ask Master Xu to enlighten me on how to pair lambs and ewes in one day."

At this time, Cheng Yaojin winked at Xu Qing, Xu Qing cupped his hands and said, "Since Mr. Cheng knows, why don't you let Mr. Cheng explain?"

The Turkic envoy was out of breath now, he cupped his hands and said again: "Grandpa Cheng enlighten me."

Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly, and after laughing, he pretended to be profound, and said to the Turkic envoy mysteriously with a sullen face, "I'll tell you four words: 'Mother and child are connected."

As soon as Cheng Yaojin said this, all civil and military officials in the court suddenly realized that mother and child are connected, so that the lamb can find its mother by itself.Xu Qing added at this time: "Separate the ewes and lambs and keep them until evening. When the lambs are hungry, they will naturally call for the ewes. When the time comes, open the fence and the mother and child will meet again."

The Turkic envoy cupped his hands and said, "I am convinced, let me take my leave."

At this time, Li Yuan said "slow", and the Turkic envoy stopped immediately.Li Yuandao: "Boy Xu has prepared three questions in total, and now only two questions have come out, do you want to listen to the third question?"

Xu Qing was taken aback. Could it be that old man Li Yuan wanted to completely turn against the Turks?

The Turkic envoy's eyes were also a little angry, but the hero didn't suffer the loss in front of him, he turned around and cupped his hands and said, "That's good, I use this to learn more skills in the Tang Dynasty!"

The first two questions had given many unexpected things to the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty. Now Li Yuan asked Xu Qing to answer the third question, and everyone bent over and listened.
