"Mr. Smith, please explain!"
"Bring the chessboard up. I'll give you a question.”
Hearing Su Bai's order, Zhu Di immediately put on a bitter face and complained in a long voice:
"Why are you solving the problem again?"
"You know that my brain is not working well, but you keep giving me problems. Aren't you making things difficult for me?"
Pa!
Su Bai's chopsticks hit the back of Zhu Di's hand. The movement was so fast that it was blurry. By the time he reacted, there was only a burning pain.
"I'll take it! I'll take it, okay? A gentleman uses his mouth, not his hands!”Zhu Di rubbed the back of his hand and muttered.
Su Bai glared at him. Zhu Di shrunk his neck subconsciously and didn't dare to talk anymore.
He took out the chessboard and placed it in front of him.
"Use the rice to fill every grid on the chessboard.”
Su Bai took Zhu Di's bowl and arranged:
"The first grid has one grain of rice, the second grid has two grains of rice, and the third grid has two grains of rice. The third grid, four grains of rice, the fourth grid, eight grains of rice, then sixteen, thirty-two."
"And so on. I'll tell you the answer when I'm done.”
Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this, but he smiled."
"Just this?"
"Yes, this is it."
"How difficult can this be? Mr. Su, aren't you underestimating me too much?”
Su Bai smiled at Zhu Di's confidence and continued to eat and drink.
Thump!
Zhu Di placed the rice in his bowl upside down on the chessboard and placed it grain by grain.
At the same time.
The father and son in the secret room next door looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. They didn't know what Su Bai was up to.
Zhu Yuanzhang leaned back in his chair and sighed. Pretending to be mysterious and contagious? What was wrong with him?
Not long after.
Zhu Di's eyes were completely sore, and his mind was starting to blur.
"I can't, I can't. If this continues, I'll die!”
Seeing Zhu Di raising his head and blinking his eyes, Su Bai shook his head and smiled:
"What's wrong? You can't do it just like that?"
"What happened to the child's play?"
Zhu Di's face was flushed red and he was extremely embarrassed.
"Mr. Smith, aren't you messing with me?”
"It can't do this at all! I was confused when I checked the numbers just now. How many rice grains would I need to fill it up?”
"Our two bowls of rice are simply not enough!”
Just as he was complaining, Zhu Di suddenly widened his eyes as if he had thought of something.
Gulp!
He swallowed his saliva!
"Mr. Smith, this…"
Su Bai spread his hands and said casually:
"His brain isn't too stupid. He can still be saved.”
"That's right, it won't be long before the Great Ming Imperial Clan will multiply to a million people.”
"To support so many people, it's not even enough for a year's income!”
"Can Great Ming not perish?"
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was eavesdropping, was shocked and fell back into his chair.
Yesterday, Liu Bowen speculated along Su Bai's line of thought and concluded that there might be too many descendants of the kings in the future, which would lead to a situation where the number of tails kept increasing and the imperial court would be under too much pressure to support them.
The reason why pressure was called pressure was that it was not a big problem and could still be solved.
However, today Su Bai demonstrated it directly by putting rice on the chessboard and told you clearly.
In the future, it would be impossible for the entire country to support the descendants of the Zhu family.
The difference between having a solution and not having a solution was obvious.
Zhu Yuanzhang pounded his chest and stomped his feet, almost unable to breathe.
" Liu Bowen is messing with us!!"
"We really believed him!”
Zhu Biao carefully supported his old father, who was mentally broken, and shook his head and sighed.
I told you not to jump to conclusions so quickly.
This was great.
Before he started to solve the problem, Liu Bowen had been killed by Su Bai.
How was this similar?
It was clearly a world of difference!
"No wonder Teacher Su said that it was useless to rely on reducing his salary. If he continued to reproduce like this, a grain of rice could crush Big Ming!”
Zhu Di's eyes were dull and he felt his scalp go numb, but he finally figured it out.
"Why don't we just dismiss the consecrator? Our children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. If we continue to raise them like this, who can stand it?”
Su Bai put down his chopsticks and shook his head:
"You are too naive. This is impossible.”
"Besides, do you want Old Zhu to choose between the world and his family?”
Zhu Di lowered his head silently, feeling extremely complicated.
Su Bai's question left him speechless.
In the face of righteousness, he gave up on his small family.
It was too cruel for anyone.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Di stood up and bowed.
"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Su.”
Su Bai waved his hand indifferently and added:
"Everything in the world has many sides, and the parts that can be seen are very few.”
"If you want to truly see through the secrets of the heavens, you need to remove its appearance and see its origin.”
"I said it again. It's still the same sentence from before. You have to look at everything from a bird's eye view. Everything in the world is under your control.”
Pausing, Su Bai sighed:
"What's the joy of being famous for thousands of years? Who knows how difficult it is to be an emperor?"
"Now that you've removed two wrong answers, think about it again. How can you break out of this situation?”
On the other side of the wall.
Zhu Yuanzhang repeated Su Bai's poem, his expression moved.
After a while.
He raised his head and looked at Zhu Biao, who had a stunned expression on his face. He smiled bitterly and said,
"Boss, do you think we'll choose a small family or take care of everyone?”
As soon as he said that.
Zhu Biao gasped and shook his head like a rattle-drum.
"This son is stupid, this son does not know, please forgive father!”
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slightly, but did not press further.
"Mr. Su knows us."
"You don't know us?"
Back to the other side.
Zhu Di rested his elbows on the stone table and hugged his head with both hands, thinking hard.
Sudden!
An idea flashed in his mind. He suddenly raised his head and said excitedly,
"Mr. Smith, I have an idea!"
"Oh?"
Su Bai was surprised and looked at him suspiciously.
Zhu Di held his head high and puffed out his chest. The dejection on his body was swept away. He said confidently,
"Teacher often admonishes students to find the current problems from the long river of history. With history as a mirror, one can know the rise and fall.”
Su Bai nodded and signaled him to continue.
"During the Great Han Dynasty, although the imperial court also provided for the imperial clan, it was only in name. Most of the responsibility was left to the kings themselves.”
"The kings have their own fiefs and their own annual income. The issue of providing for the descendants of the kings can be self-sufficient and will not affect the normal operation of the country.”
Zhu Di grabbed his stubble and said slowly,
"The Great Han Dynasty lasted for 405 years, and the reason for its destruction was not because of the support of the imperial clan."
"This also indirectly shows that the Great Han Dynasty's support system is feasible!”
"Big Ming can also follow suit!"
Facing Zhu Di's passionate gaze, Su Bai laughed out of anger:
"What's wrong?"
"What do you want?"
"You want to split the earth and become king?"
Zhu Di: "???"
