Seeing that Jiang Fan refused natu''s solicitation without any hesitation, and listening to natu admit that the first problem was that the grassland was the loser, Zhou Di was immediately happy.


    There was nothing more comfortable than a Jedi reversal when he was completely desperate.


    Injured all over the body, I thought that this year, like the previous years, it was awesome, but it was completely despised by the prairie people. But I never thought Jiang could do anything like this.


    For a moment, Zhou Di couldn''t help looking at Jiang Fan with approval. Then he looked at nasutu again and said with a smile: "please, your majesty, but don''t continue to take the sacred objects of your Changsheng religion as the topic."


    "What the LORD said is that the second topic is very simple. The Lord should know that there is a great shortage of food on our grassland. The staple food on weekdays is mainly cattle and sheep. Grain basically depends on redemption from the big week."


    Na sutu paused and continued, "so this second problem is not only a problem, but also a business. Our mission hopes to buy some grain and bring it back to the grassland through this mission."


    With that, natu clapped his hands, and immediately a priest offered wine, took out a chess board, and then came forward and put it at natu''s feet.


    "Please look, my Lord. This is the most popular chess board in your country. This kind of chess is also very popular among the nobles of our grassland people. In our spare time, our grassland nobles also like two people to sit together and play a game. The ever-changing wisdom of war is amazing."


    Said natu.


    Zhou Di looked at the chessboard with a little doubt and was a little confused for a moment.


    It''s really the most common chess board, but sutu took out such a board... What do you want?


    "I know the Lord must have doubts in his heart, but in fact... The way I want to buy food is related to this chessboard."


    Nasutu stretched out his finger on the chessboard placed in front of him and continued: "this time, the envoy carried a total of ten thousand liang of gold and one hundred thousand liang of silver. At the same time, there were a total of one million yuan of money tickets issued by banks all over the world in your country, as well as some other grassland treasures, which we all want to use to buy food."


    Zhou Di was a little surprised.


    Ten thousand liang of gold and one hundred thousand liang of silver add up to about 200000 Guan. If you add the million Guan notes issued by Sihai banks, it will be less than 1.2 million Guan?


    Whether the money is more or less, the grain that can be purchased is enough to buy a grain mountain even at the current high price.


    But the problem is that Heyang city is very short of food these days, and the price of food is soaring. Even King Zhou Di, who doesn''t care much about people''s livelihood, has already heard of it.


    If we sell a lot of grain to the grassland at this time, God knows whether the people in Heyang city will have no food to eat.


    After all, the food supply in the south is gradually decreasing, and Heyang city has to maintain a certain food reserve, otherwise there will be big problems.


    However, if you don''t sell it, it doesn''t make sense.


    Therefore, it is still a small matter to annoy the grassland. If the suspicion of the grassland is caused by not selling, and the grassland finds the current dilemma of Dazhou, God knows what the grassland golden account will do.


    Thinking of this, Zhou Di had a headache.


    However, before he thought more deeply, sutu continued: "we don''t want to buy food in the past, but hope to use this chessboard to determine the final amount of food to buy."


    Natu said, picked up the chessboard, pointed to the chessboard and continued, "Lord, look, there are 64 real square squares in the chessboard. The amount of grain we want to buy is accumulated according to the number of squares."


    "In the first grid, you only need to put one grain of grain, in the second grid, you need to put two grains of grain, in the third grid, you need to put four grains of grain, and so on. The amount of grain required in each grid is twice that of the previous grid until sixty-four grids are used."


    After su Tu''s words, Zhou Di was dull again.


    What is this buying method?


    Never heard of it


    A grain of grain in a grid? Each grid is twice as large as the previous grid? There are only 64 squares in total. How many grains can we put in?


    Can grain be calculated according to grain?


    Can this add up to one stone?


    "Lord, what do you think of such a transaction? As long as you nod your head and agree, we can deliver gold, silver and money tickets immediately."


    The sutu said with a smile.


    Zhou Di almost had to accept it subconsciously, because the first impression in his mind was that this kind of transaction would make a lot of money on his side.


    But after all, I still retained a trace of reason and vigilance. I always felt that grassland people could not be so stupid to do such a business that would obviously lose a lot of money at a glance.


    So instead of answering directly, Zhou Di looked at Zhou he and the Pilgrims and said, "what do you think?"


    Zhou he didn''t give any advice. He felt the same as his father. He thought that the grassland people were crazy.


    If not for the vigilance of grassland golden account instinct, he would be eager to promise for his father first.


    The pilgrims were quite uneasy. They didn''t know what medicine was sold in the gourd of the grassland people for a moment.


    But let them find out, according to nasutu, how much food is needed for such a chessboard, it is too difficult for people.


    People in this era have a very low understanding of arithmetic.


    After at least breaking his fingers and silently calculating the food to be delivered in the first dozen chessboard spaces, several scavengers thought that according to the requirements of nasutu, there would not be too much food to be delivered in the end.


    Therefore, after discussing with each other for a while, one of the pilgrims bowed his hands and said: "Lord, we think that this business can be done. There are about tens of thousands of grains per kilogram. According to the method mentioned by his Majesty the Pope, the chessboard has only 64 squares in total. Although we can''t calculate how much grain we need in the end, we think that no matter how much it increases, it will increase to hundreds of thousands or millions at most."


    "Even if our estimate is wrong, the number has reached tens of millions, or even tens of thousands, which is actually a very small number, hundreds of stones, or even less. Because at the beginning, his holiness just used one grain of rice as the unit. Taking one grain of rice as the unit, it is impossible to add too much food after all."


    "Compared with the food we need to pay, the price put forward by his Majesty the Pope is extremely exaggerated. Even if we don''t count grassland treasures, just gold and silver and money tickets, at the current food price, it is enough to buy about two million stones of food. No matter how we look at it, it is a big profit."


    Hearing that the scavenger gave a positive answer, Zhou Di, who was inclined to this point, no longer had any doubt. His face couldn''t help showing an excited expression, so he had to directly agree to trade with nasutu.


    Just before the voice was out, Jiang Fan suddenly interrupted, "wait a minute!"
