Song Che walked to the cage and pulled off the black cloth. Sure enough, there were twenty-three male and female servants and twelve Bactrian camels.
"Mr. Arhan, thank you for your kindness. However, there are enough servants in Song's team and we don't need them. I can accept this camel. As for the people, let them go free."
These nomadic tribes are mostly slave regimes, and these two-legged servants are not worth as much as a four-legged camel.
Arhan forced a smile and said, "These twenty-three slaves, the male slaves are strong and strong, and the female slaves are delicate and charming. They are the gift that our Great Khan has designated to give to Mr. Song. You can't refuse this kind intention." "
In this case, it would not be a good idea for Song Che to refuse. He added, "But are there too many camels? Look, there are more than 2,000 people in my team."
Arhan said with a calm expression: "These are purebred Bactrian camels. In the Gobi Desert, one can be worth five good horses. Mr. Song must not be too greedy."
"How about this? I also asked a question about 'same cage'. If Mr. Arhan can answer it within one stick of incense, I won't want the camel. But if you can't answer it, I will give you another ten How about a camel?" Song Che asked with a smile.
"This..." Arhan looked at Song Che, looking a little hesitant.
Song Che added: "Of course, if Mr. Arhan is not confident, or your country cannot provide camels, forget it, I will not embarrass you."
So excited, Arhan immediately gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay! Ten horses are ten horses. Mr. Song, please give me the question!"
"Jingxiang, offer some incense!"
"Okay boss!"
Lu Jingxiang lit a stick of incense in front of everyone and held it high in her hand.
"Just listen carefully."
Song Che pointed to the cage behind him and asked: "In a cage, there are two animals, one is a chicken and the other is a donkey. They have a total of forty-four legs. If the chicken is turned into a donkey, if the donkey is turned into When the chickens are grown, there are fifty-two in total. How many chickens and donkeys were there in the cage?"
There are many ways to change the Olympiad problem of chicken and rabbit in the same cage. The confusion caused by chicken and rabbit replacement is only the simplest one.
Arhan was a little confused, so he hurriedly imitated Guo'er, picked up branches and made calculations on the ground. The method he used was equal addition and subtraction, which was too backward and too clumsy.
"No, no..."
He smoothed the sand over and over again, wiped the sweat over and over again, and looked at the burning incense over and over again.
"The incense is more than half burned." Lu Jingxiang announced loudly, which undoubtedly increased his psychological burden.
"Mr. Arhan, if you really can't solve this problem, you can also ask your subordinates for help. Otherwise, you can go back and sue you, saying that I am unreasonable and bullying you." Song Che's sarcasm was undoubtedly another pressure.
Arhan gritted his teeth.
"Sir, how about... let's catch some chickens and donkeys to demonstrate?"
"But...this has no head, only feet. How many are we looking for?"
"First catch five chickens and then find six donkeys?"
"Idiot, five chickens only have ten legs, six donkeys...six donkeys, how many legs do they have?"
The rude men of the Hu tribe under him were all scratching their heads and scratching their heads. They didn't even understand the question, so how could they help?
"One stick of incense, time's up!" Lu Jingxiang threw away the incense handle and announced loudly.
Looking at Arhan again, he was so angry that he broke the wooden stick into two pieces. In front of so many people, he didn't even have the qualifications to cheat.
"Guo'er, teach Mr. Arhan another lesson." Song Che greeted with a smile.
Guoer responded obediently, picked up the branch and wrote the solution to the problem over and over again in front of Arhan:
"Originally there were forty-four legs, but later it became fifty-two, which means that there are more chickens than donkeys. Chickens have two legs and eight extra legs, so it means that there are four more chickens than donkeys. Let's use the first Forty-four legs, subtract the extra eight legs, and finally get thirty-six legs; these thirty-six legs are the same number of chickens and donkeys. Using the division method taught by Teacher Song, we can finally get There are currently six chickens and donkeys, and with the original four more chickens than donkeys, there are ten chickens."
She looked back at Song Che again: "Teacher Song, am I right?"
Song Che gave a thumbs up: "Wai Rui, Wari Gude!"
Guoer added: "But a chicken is not a donkey, and a donkey is not a chicken, right?"
Song Che glanced sideways at Arhan, who looked gloomy next to him, nodded and said, "Yes, this is the most fundamental problem of mankind, but some people can't figure it out."
"You little girl, who are you mocking in this movie?" Arhan scolded angrily.
Guo'er was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Song Che, "Teacher, no one is scary, no matter it's a chicken or a donkey!"
"Mr. Arhan, she is just a child, and her childish words are innocent. Why do you have to worry about her? Don't lose your dignity as a great nation!"
Song Che smiled and said, "Then, Song will happily accept ten camels."
Arhan gritted his teeth and tried to remain calm, "Isn't it just ten camels? Our country of Hu has many!"
Song Che bowed and thanked him: "It's a long journey to the Western Region this time. I won't waste any time. Please ask Mr. Arhan to ask the guard to open the door and let us out."
Arhan snorted softly and waved to the guard. The Jade Gate Gate slowly opened, but he saw a large iron door outside the wooden door.
"Sir! It's not good. The chain we used to open the iron door accidentally broke! We can't get out for the time being!" A soldier from the Hu tribe came to inform.
Arhan pretended to go to the door to check, and first scolded: "What are you doing for food! Don't you know that Mr. Song is leaving the customs today? Why can't it be inspected in advance!"
Then, he turned back and apologized to Song Che: "I'm really sorry, Boss Song. In order to prevent someone from blocking the gate, we added an iron gate outside the wooden gate of Yumenguan. It's all because these lazy soldiers didn't repair it. The chain used to lift the iron gate is rusty and broken, and there is no iron-making technology nearby. If you want to re-make the chain, you will have to go back to Dadu, which will probably delay your time for another ten days and a half."
"You old fox, you are clearly deliberately making things difficult for us!" Nangong Yue shouted.
Arhan said coldly: "Mr. Song, please take care of your subordinates, she is really rude!"
"you--"
"Why."
Song Che raised his hand to signal Nangong Yuemo to stop speaking. He smiled faintly and asked: "Mr. Arhan, I know that you didn't trouble me when we were in Aurous Hill, and I felt unconvinced, so I came to block me at Yumen Pass. If that’s the case, why bother making up excuses that appear to be extremely hypocritical, just come up with the topic.”
"Okay! Boss Song is happy!" Arhan stopped pretending and pointed at the big iron door and said:
"This iron gate weighs a thousand kilograms. If Boss Song can pull it up alone without chains, he will let you pass."
He asked proudly: "Boss Song used one finger to make our country's strong men unable to stand up. I guess it will be easy to pull up this iron door, right?"
Tsk...the villain's face!
