Soon, Qian Xiaoxing was brought to the emperor, looked at the emperor and the ministers behind him, and knelt down helplessly, and said as if he was on TV; "Can Qian Xiaoxing, a grass man, met the emperor..."

"Your Majesty, he is the money of money, Chunxiao's Xiao, the star of the stars, is called Qian Xiaoxing." The Grand Tutor hurriedly explained.

"Oh, Qian Xiaoxing, the name is interesting. Let's just flat, come and calculate how tall this tree is." The emperor waved his hand and said.

Qian Xiaoxing stood up and glanced at the emperor with his eyes. Damn, he is so fat, with big head and ears, and a big belly, like an eight-month-old pregnant woman. This belly pressed on his beloved concubines, and I don’t know how they had sex.

"Yes, please give me a ruler," Qian Xiaoxing said.

"Eunuch Li, go and get the ruler." The emperor ordered the eunuch beside him.

"Yes, the emperor."

Soon, Eunuch Li took a few rulers. Qian Xiaoxing didn't say how long it would be. Her father-in-law just took one handful, five feet a handful, and ten feet a handful.

Qian Xiaoxing took the ruler and looked at it. At this time, the sun was not high and the shadows of the tree were stretched very long. Fortunately, the places with the shadows of the tree were flat bluestone floors. He saw a round stone table next to it, so he walked over and stood the ruler on the table and said, "I'll help the Grand Tutor, go and stand at the top of the shadows of the tree."

The Taifu naturally agreed and walked quickly to the top of the tree shadow and stood. Seeing that the Taifu had stood, Qian Xiaoxing drew the top of the shadow of the ruler with a small stone on the round stone table, and then drew it in the vertical position of the ruler. These two paragraphs were the length of the shadow of the ruler. Then he measured it with a ruler. The shadows were longer than the ruler, and they were actually one foot and three inches.

Qian Xiaoxing picked up a ten-foot-long ruler, walked to the side of the Taifu, measured it from the sole of the Taifu's feet to the roots of the tree, which was a total of 245 feet. After obtaining this data, the algorithm became simple. Qian Xiaoxing picked up the small stone, wrote Arabic numerals on the ground, made a division formula, and calculated it.

The ratio of tree height to tree shadow is about 1 to 1.3. Now that I know that the tree shadow is 245 feet long, just divide it by 1.3 and it will be taller. (I will open the calculator first and calculate it) Qian Xiaoxing has aside, and the result is about 188.5 feet. If you count 20 centimeters per foot, the tree will be 37.7 meters tall.

Qian Xiaoxing calculated and replied: "Your Majesty, this number is 188 and a half feet tall."

"Oh, is that?" The emperor obviously didn't believe Qian Xiaoxing's calculations and asked again: "Have the ministers calculated?"

"Your Majesty, I'm still calculating, I'm going to figure it out soon." A minister standing behind kept moving the chips. After a while, he came to the result: "Your Majesty is indeed one hundred,88 and a half feet."

When the other ministers heard this, they were extremely surprised. Qian Xiaoxing had just reported the length to everyone, and the person who used chips to calculate it immediately after listening to it. This minister was the best one among the ministers. Qian Xiaoxing had already calculated it, but it took him a long time to calculate it. So they all walked to the edge of the division formula written by Qian Xiaoxing, shook his head and read it, but they couldn't understand it like a heavenly book.

"Okay, Qian Xiaoxing, you are pretty good. Come and see the reward." The emperor looked at Qian Xiaoxing with admiration, and then took everyone away.

Wow, I didn't expect there was a reward. I don't know what the emperor would reward me. Could it be that I gave me a few girls. I was thinking happily, but suddenly I remembered the important thing today. Didn't the Grand Tutor promise to do his own thing, and would he do his best to help Fang Ying's work? I almost forgot it when I was happy.

Qian Xiaoxing saw the Taifu but stood there without saying a word. Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, he hurriedly gave the Taifu a look, but the Taifu thought it was not seen.

Good, you Taifu, you will destroy the bridge when you cross the river. If he does things himself, he will ignore the lives and death of others. Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but get angry. If he leaves the palace, it will be more difficult than climbing the sky to meet the emperor in the future. Moreover, when the Taifu hides at home and wants to ask him for advice, what should he do?

Qian Xiaoxing didn't care much and hurriedly shouted: "Prince, please stay. The Grand Tutor has another thing to report to the emperor, which is about Si Guo."

When the emperor heard about Si Guo’s incident, there was no news for a long time. He became curious and walked back and asked, “Tao Fu, what’s the matter?”

When Qian Xiaoxing said that, the Grand Tutor was told that he didn't want to say anything, so he leaned over and replied: "By the emperor, Si State has paid tribute on time and quantity in recent years, and there has been no omissions. However, in recent years, the grain harvest has failed and the people have lived in poverty. Therefore, in order to ensure that Si State is very obedient to my Dahu in previous years, he also asked the emperor to reduce or exempt part of the tribute for the sake of the people of Si State."

"No." The emperor did not speak, but the general said first: "Your Majesty, I led my troops to attack Si Guo five years ago, but many brave soldiers of Dahu died. Even if they were lucky, they still wanted to reduce the tribute and exempt them. The old minister absolutely did not agree."

In fact, the Taifu also knew that this matter was better than the emperor, but this general would definitely obstruct him in every way. Usually he would be disagreeing with him. This matter was not easy to deal with, but now that the general obstructed him, it would probably not be possible.

Originally, it was not as good as less than more. However, since you said it at this time, you should also earn some face for yourself. You cannot be rejected by the general in just one sentence. So you said, "Emperor, the State of Si bows down to our country, and the people under him are also considered to be my Hu people. Do you want these people to starve to death? And starve to death is small. When they rebel, they will not have to send troops to increase their pressure, and there will be more soldiers."

"If he dares to rebel, I will immediately send troops to sweep his city and kill no one left." The general said angrily.

"General, do you know that you can conquer others with virtue in addition to fighting and killing? We are so arrogant that we can conquer other countries without fighting or killing. Doesn't it better to show our strength?" The Grand Tutor and the General debated.

"I just know how to kill. What's wrong? That city was not something I've won. Why don't you go up and cut a few times when I'm fighting?" The general said dissatisfied.

"Okay, why do you two always quarrel when they meet? I feel upset and shut up." The emperor heard that the two of them refused to give in to each other, so he had to mediate: "How much does Si Guo pay tribute to a year?"

"When I go back to the emperor, there are 1,000 taels of gold, 100 silk and satin, and 1,000 cattle and sheep." A minister next to him replied, thinking that he was in charge of this area.

"Oh, after saying that, there are indeed quite a lot of people for Si Guo. Taifu, how much do you think should be exempted?" the emperor asked.

"I think it's better to reduce the exemption by half, so that the people can also rest and recuperate. I will be even more grateful to my Dahu." The Grand Tutor originally wanted to say that the reduction of the exemption by 20% was enough, but when he heard the general's words, he deliberately said a little more.

"Absolutely, Your Majesty, if so many exemptions are reduced, the State of Si will have money to support the soldiers. I am afraid that it will really rebel at that time." The general hurriedly stopped him.

"Are the general afraid of how many soldiers can be raised in a small country? Is it afraid that he can't defeat those soldiers?" said the Grand Tutor sarcastically.

"I'm afraid of a ball, you're the bear bag that's afraid of death!" replied the general.

"Why are you quarreling again? You're so annoying? Let's do this, avoid one hundred silks and one thousand cattle and sheep, and the rest are the same." The emperor said impatiently as they heard their noise.

"Your Majesty, never." The general insisted.

"I have decided, don't say it anymore." The emperor said with a serious look on his face.

When the general saw that the emperor was about to get angry, he obediently stopped talking. When the tutor heard that he had won the contest, he hurriedly replied: "The emperor is wise."

Qian Xiaoxing stood beside him and listened obediently. He didn't expect that the Grand Tutor would be good, but he would actually fight for Si Guo. However, it seemed to be arguing with the general. As the saying goes, dogs bite dogs, Qian Xiaoxing would not let them argue, the better.

When the ministers saw that the emperor had returned to the palace, they did not stay and walked out of the imperial kitchen. At this time, a small eunuch ran over and handed Qian Xiaoxing a small cloth bag, saying, "This is the one that the emperor rewards you, but the treasure that other countries have tributed, thank you quickly."

"Yes, thank you for the reward of the emperor. Long live my emperor." Qian Xiaoxing knelt down and bowed and said, "nnd, if it weren't for the reward, I wouldn't worship you."

After listening, the little eunuch was about to leave. Qian Xiaoxing stood up and grabbed the little eunuch and asked, "This little father-in-law, isn't it said that there are three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem? Why can't anyone see here?"

"This is the imperial kitchen, not the harem. Besides, can the empress in the harem be seen by people like you? Why don't you leave quickly?" the little eunuch scolded.

"Yes, let's go." A little eunuch, Heng, and Qian Xiaoxing cursed secretly. He wanted to open the small cloth bag to see what it was, but when he saw the Grand Tutor standing waiting for him in front, he hurried over.

The Grand Tutor didn't speak all the way until he walked out of the palace, and said, "You are a money-funded man, you dare to insult me."

Qian Xiaoxing thought about the fact that he had just seen the Taifu stop talking, and called the emperor, and said, "Taifu, we had already agreed, how can we count you as a fool?"

"Isn't it still? If there is anything in the future, don't think I'm helping." The Grand Tutor was angry and was shocked by Qian Xiaoxing, but when he thought about the battle with the general this time, he won, and he was not so angry.

"Teacher, don't be angry. Why don't the emperor reward me with some of the things I have?" Qian Xiaoxing flipped the cloth bag with his hand. It was not heavy, it was neither gold nor silver. When he touched it, he thought it was like some small gravel, but he couldn't guess what it was.

When the Grand Tutor saw Qian Xiaoxing holding a small cloth bag, he asked curiously: "Oh, see what the emperor has rewarded?"

Qian Xiaoxing took it out of the cloth bag and saw it. It was some transparent stones, the size of green beans: "Damn, why did the emperor give me some stones?"

The tutor also took it and took a look, and said, "It's indeed a small stone, it's just transparent, I don't know what it's for."

"Tao Fu, if you like it, I'll give it to you all." Qian Xiaoxing poured all the small cloth bags on his hands. There were about ten, and the size was different. Some were bigger than the one I took out just now, and some were smaller.

"What's so strange about a few broken stones? If you really want to thank me, you can just install two air conditioners for my home, then forget it." The tutor returned the stone to Qian Xiaoxing and said.

Damn, this Taifu obviously wanted me to give him two air conditioners for free, but that would cost two hundred taels of silver. Either I would like to say a lot. I thought it was time to ask Fang to show off the money so that I would not be the sucker. So I replied: "The Taifu has helped such a big help this time, and I respect the two air conditioners.

"Okay, you can arrange someone to install it as soon as possible. Also, Associate Qian, you have a good abilities and a smart mind. Would you like to be a guest in my mansion?" The tutor wanted to win over Qian Xiaoxing. After all, this time it was entirely up to Qian Xiaoxing to overcome the difficulties. If something happened in the future, I could give some advice.

When Qian Xiaoxing heard that the servants should be rich people who have some ability at home. They don’t have anything to do, but they are in line with their own idea of ​​not wanting to work. However, there is no Xiao Cui in the Taifu Mansion. Qian Xiaoxing is unwilling to leave for Xiao Cui, so he can only say on the excuse: "My lady still needs the consent of this."

"Well, this is also worth it. Then go back and talk. If your lady doesn't let you go, you can talk to me."

"Okay." Qian Xiaoxing said perfunctorily.
