MTL - Rise From the Humble-Chapter 1752 you listen to my sophistry
Xia Qiang went to revise the official document. Zhu Pingan looked at Hu Wei and his uncle Zhu Shouren, who were beside him, and asked, "Mr. Hu, uncle, have you calculated the results? How much do you need to ask for food from the Suzhou government?"
"My lord, I don't think I made a mistake in my calculation." Hu Wei didn't know his mistake, and after doing the calculation again, he still came up with the same answer.
Zhu Ping'an looked at his uncle Zhu Shouren, "Uncle, have you calculated the result?"
"Ahem, I also think Brother Hu's calculation is correct." Uncle Zhu Shouren coughed, and he chose to believe Hu Wei again.
On the one hand, when Hu Wei was just doing the calculations, he used the abacus and calculated very seriously with straw paper.
On the other hand, the uncle Zhu Shouren is not good at calculations, and he can't even make an abacus. The number is smaller, but the number is larger. There is no way. The amount of food and grass is beyond the scope of his calculation. What can he do if he doesn't believe in Hu Wei? He can't figure it out by himself, so he can only choose to believe in Hu Wei.
For a while, Hu Wei and uncle Zhu Shouren looked at Zhu Ping'an with a face that I did not miscalculate.
"Mr. Hu, how many days are there in a month?" Zhu Pingan had no choice but to ask Hu Wei helplessly.
"Of course it's been thirty days." Hu Wei replied without hesitation.
"How many days has Mr. Hu counted?" Zhu Pingan looked at Hu Wei with burning eyes, and asked slowly.
"Of course I counted thirty." Hu Wei replied without thinking, but just halfway through, he remembered something went wrong, "Oh, my God, I seem to count on ten days."
"Ah?! Are you counting on ten days?" Uncle Zhu Shouren panicked, looked at Hu Wei nervously and asked, "Then the gunpowder and weapons you calculated for me are also counting on ten days?"
The corner of Zhu Ping'an's mouth twitched. The uncle is really an uncle, and he hasn't changed at all.
"No." Hu Wei shook his head.
"Oh, it's fine if you don't." Uncle Zhu Shouren breathed a sigh of relief.
But in the next second, he couldn't let go.
"Because you calculated half a month's consumption, I first calculated it as one month, and then reduced it by half, that is to say, I calculated it as five days." Hu Wei said a little embarrassed.
"Five days." The uncle's face turned dark, "Brother Hu, I trust you so much in vain, you let me down so much."
"You can't blame me. Didn't I let you do the calculations? You are right." Hu Wei couldn't help complaining.
"If I can figure it out, can I still use your help?" The uncle said confidently.
I'll go, what you said made sense, but I was speechless, and Hu Wei was speechless all of a sudden.
"Ahem, nephew, have you read the official document I wrote?" Uncle Zhu Shouren asked awkwardly holding the official document.
"Uncle, do I still need to watch it?" Zhu Pingan asked with a wry smile.
"Ahem, wait for brother Hu to do the calculation again. After we correct it, we will show it to my nephew." Uncle Zhu Shouren said coyly, put away the official document and put it back on the table.
and many more.
There seemed to be a piece of paper under the official document placed by the uncle, and Zhu Ping'an saw it right away.
Zhu Ping'an stepped forward to pick up the uncle's official document.
"After changing the numbers, my nephew will read it again." Uncle Zhu Shouren was a little nervous, and pressed his official document.
"It's okay, what I want to see is not the official document." Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, and pulled the uncle's hand away forcefully. Under the uncle's nervous eyes, Zhu Pingan picked up the official document and saw another official document below.
Seeing that Zhu Ping'an saw the official document hidden below, a layer of sweat appeared on the forehead of the uncle Zhu Shouren.
Zhu Pingan picked up the official document below, and laughed when he saw it, angrily.
Uncle’s official document is modeled on the official document asking for gunpowder and weapons, but the content is asking for silver.
In the official document, the uncle asked the Suzhou government to allocate three thousand taels of silver to reward the soldiers and boost their morale, so that in the upcoming battle against the Japanese, the soldiers will exert 100% of their strength and compete to the death.
Uncle's appetite is really getting bigger and bigger. He stealthily asks for money behind his back, and every time he asks, he pays back three thousand taels of silver.
What nonsense to reward soldiers, Zhu Ping'an is very clear about his uncle's character, his sneaky behavior behind his back, and the cold sweat on his face now, as long as the three thousand taels of silver are invited down, all of them will definitely fall into the hands of uncle pocket.
"Uncle, what is this?"
Zhu Ping'an picked up the official request for money secretly written by his uncle, looked at him with burning eyes, and asked indifferently.
"Nephew, listen to me to quibble for you, ah no, explain." Uncle Zhu Shouren suddenly bald.
"Then you are sophistry." Zhu Pingan said lightly.
"Ahem, explain, explain my nephew." Uncle Zhu Shouren coughed and emphasized again and again.
Zhu Ping'an looked at his uncle Zhu Shouren noncommittally, and the uncle Zhu Shouren shut his mouth in embarrassment, no longer emphasizing sophistry or explaining.
"Nephew, it's like this. Didn't I hear you say that the Japanese pirates are coming to attack Suzhou? You asked Brother Hu to ask for food, asked Brother Xia to arrange training, and asked me to ask for gunpowder and weapons. There is going to be a war soon. .”
"War is not a child's play. Isn't there an old saying that the great affairs of the country are sacrifices and wars. Since there is going to be a war, my uncle must help my nephew to find out the gaps. When it comes to war, the right time, place and people are indispensable. , the so-called 'the right time is not as good as the right place, the right place is not as good as the harmony of people', 'harmony of people' is too important in war."
"How to improve the 'harmony', the uncle thought of the saying that there must be a brave man under a great reward. If you want to improve the spirit of the soldiers, what is better than giving a reward of silver? Yes, that’s two strokes.”
"So, I applied for three thousand taels of silver from the Suzhou government. When the time comes, each soldier will be given one tael. I'm not afraid that they won't try their best to kill the Japanese."
"Brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers in battle, I am an uncle, this is what an uncle should do, nephew, don't thank me"
The uncle Zhu Shouren made up more smoothly, and the more he spoke, the more confident he became. It can be seen that he is really good at lying.
Quietly watching the uncle lie, Zhu Pingan also commented on this test in his heart: Hu Wei and Xia Qiang are careless people, they are unreliable in doing things, and they can't handle important military affairs. Don't worry too much; as for the uncle Zhu Shouren, he is even more unreliable. He steals, rapes and plays tricks. , even as long as the money is in place, uncle can sell Zhejun and himself completely
So, send them away as soon as possible.
Zhu Ping'an made up his mind.
Crouching dragon and phoenix chick and so on, forget it, my temple here is too small to accommodate you three big Buddhas.
