Seeing that Su'er was still hesitant, Zhang Tian decided to push again.

"Su'er, how many numbers can you count?"

"I can count to 100. If it's more than 100, I will count them separately. 100 coins is one string of money, and 10 strings of money is one string of money..."

Zhang Tian smiled. With experience this time, he changed to a simple and practical question.

"Su'er, let me ask you. If you raise 30,397 chickens and 12,326 sheep."

"Someone came to buy 12,120 chickens, and each chicken sold for 53 coins."

"Another 5,266 sheep were sold, and each sheep sold for 12,230 coins."

"Then you count, how many chickens are there? How many sheep are there? How much should the chickens and sheep be sold for?"

Su'er's black eyes suddenly widened, and she was stunned on the spot, her little hands unconsciously pulling.

She couldn't even count such a large number, but it sounded like it was quite useful.

In the future, if we raise a lot of chickens and sheep, we will have to sell them for money if we can't eat them all. We can't do it without math.

Xu Jingye smiled and said nothing.

Even he, who often does accounts all year round, needs to use an abacus to calculate such a complicated arithmetic problem.

The number is too big, and it needs to be calculated repeatedly before it can be determined.

This is used to test children, which is pure bullying.

Sure enough, Su'er whispered: "Brother Zhang Tian, ​​I can't calculate."

"That's right, I can't calculate, so I need to go to school."

"Okay, Brother Zhang Tian, ​​I'll go to school."

"Well, get ready, and go there when school starts in a few days."

…………

Zhang Tian was busy with Su'er's school.

On the other hand, Nan'an Dynasty and Tianjin Kingdom were secretly discussing the light column in Zhang Tian's mansion.

On the Nan'an Dynasty side, there is the Xuwen line.

Zhuo Ping was sent to ask about it. It was said that Zhang Tian asked the gods in the sky about the "Emperor Star".

Xu Wen didn't know any more details, so Emperor Anyou had to give up.

In the past, Zhang Tian did not hide many secrets of heaven and hell from Xu Wen and others.

Now he had to discuss with the gods, but he had to dismiss everyone. I'm afraid that even if the "Emperor Star" is in the sky, it is not light.

On the side of Tianjin Kingdom.

With the further order of Emperor Tianhui, the embassy began to become active.

First, the envoy Wanyan Jin repeatedly sent a visiting card, wanting to visit.

Zhang Tian did not accept it and asked Xu Jingye to refuse.

The fact that he could hide the "Emperor Star" had long been spread among the officials, and Tianjin Kingdom must have received the news.

Zhang Tian knew their purpose and was too lazy to intrigue with the envoys of Tianjin Kingdom. Out of sight, out of mind.

Unexpectedly, the next morning.

Xu Jingye came in from outside and reported to Zhang Tian: "My Lord, the envoys from Tianjin Kingdom are here again."

"Didn't I tell you to reject them directly?"

Xu Jingye said: "My Lord, they brought eight carts of gifts this time and are now blocking my door."

"The ruts are deep, so the gift is not light. Would you like to take a look first?"

Xu Jingye is a businessman after all. Seeing eight carts of heavy gifts, he felt distressed to reject them for no reason and wanted to confirm with Zhang Tian.

"Let me take a look first."

Zhang Tian controlled the yo-yo with his bracelet, flew to the top of the wall, and transmitted the image outside back.

I saw the envoy Wanyan Jinlu, who I met in the court last time, leading the convoy, standing respectfully in front of the gate waiting.

Behind him were dozens of strong men with pigtails, pushing eight carriages, all covered with cloth.

Zhang Tian thought for a moment.

I fell into this world, and by some strange coincidence, I had fought against Tianjin Kingdom so many times. I had always regarded them as enemies.

Now, under the influence of the "Emperor Star", they compromised and took the initiative to come to the door, intending to show goodwill.

If possible, Zhang Tian certainly hopes that he can be detached from the world and not be bound by the two dynasties.

Unfortunately, his supply ship fell outside Xiangyang City.

The few acquaintances he knew were all from the Nan'an Dynasty.

It can be said that he has a certain binding relationship with the Nan'an Dynasty.

If I were a real immortal, I would come and go as I please, and I would not be afraid.

Unfortunately, I am not, and I always have to choose a camp to live in.

Seeing the envoys coming to the door repeatedly, Zhang Tian's mind moved.

He said to Xu Jingye: "You go out, pick a gift and accept it, and tell them to go back."

"Uh... yes, immortal."

Xu Jingye was a little confused. Since he wanted to accept it, why did he only accept a little?

Out of the door.

The envoy hurried forward and said, "General Manager Xu, what did the immortal say?"

Xu Jingye bowed in return and said, "Emissary Wanyan, the immortal said that in consideration of your sincerity, I can accept a gift. Are you willing?"

"Yes, yes."

As he said this, Wanyan Jinlu turned his head and said,He said to the dozens of big men: "Hurry up and open the curtains, let Xu the chief steward choose."

As the curtains were opened, he saw that on the eight large carts, two carts were full of yellow and white things, all of which were silver ingots and gold ingots.

The other six carts had various kinds of silks and satins, as well as some rare and strange things whose names and uses could not be described.

Xu Jingye frowned slightly. The Tianjin Kingdom was indeed not well educated.

Those strange things were barely acceptable.

What the hell are these gold ingots, silver ingots, silks and satins? How dare they be given to the immortals?

When the messenger saw Xu Jingye frowning, his heart was hanging in the air, and he was uneasy.

Sure enough, giving such vulgar things as gold and silver, even a mortal steward of the immortal could not stand it.

Last time, after Zhang Tian gave the Dragon Pearl and a gold and silver mine to the court, Wanyan Jinlu urgently reported and stopped giving gifts.

Originally, he was going to collect strange things from all over the world and give them after some time.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the news of Zhang Tianke hiding the "Emperor Star" came out, the superiors urgently ordered him to come to contact and see the attitude.

Wanyan Jinlu had to bite the bullet and pull out the "vulgar gift" prepared before.

Xu Jingye originally wanted to choose from the "strange things" in that car, but suddenly remembered that Xu Wen had told him about "three taels of fortune".

With a thought, he walked straight to the carriage loaded with gold and silver and took a silver ingot weighing ten taels.

Then he bowed to Wanyan Jinlu and said, "The gift has been chosen, please go back, Wanyan envoy."

After saying that, he turned around and returned to the mansion.

Wanyan Jinlu was confused, looking at the neatly placed silver ingots missing a piece, and began to think wildly in his heart.

Among these eight carts of heavy gifts, the silver ingot is the least valuable.

What does it mean that the housekeeper only took one ten-tael piece back?

Zhang Tian saw his expression through the yo-yo and smiled slightly. This is the effect he wanted.

On the one hand, it is to prevent the people of Tianjin from thinking too much and not to think about it all day long.

On the other hand, it is also to leave a crack in the door.

If necessary in the future, we can still communicate with Tianjin, without showing too resolute attitude and blocking the way.

Xu Jingye took the silver ingot and walked towards the living room with his feet floating.

Since I came to Zhang's house as a housekeeper, it feels better than passing the imperial examination.

If I continue to study and pass the imperial examination, it will be glorious, but it can't be compared with now.

Not only the officials and nobles have to be polite to me, but even the envoys of Tianjin can make the other party suffer a few rejections.

You know, with the difference in strength between Tianjin and Nan'an Dynasty, if the envoys say they have something to see the emperor, the emperor has to arrange time to meet them.

Back in the living room, Xu Jingye put the silver ingot on the table.

Zhang Tian was too lazy to look at it, and just said: "Well done. Just take this money and put it in your account."

"Yes, Immortal."
