"If you can satisfy me, I will disappear immediately and never appear in front of anyone in the royal family. However, my lord, if you cannot satisfy me, you must fulfill our original promise and return my Datong to me, and let the princess make another
Marry someone else." Haitang said.
"It's a deal." The prince asked the butler to quickly calculate the total, list out a number, and give it all to Bai Haitang. Isn't it just some scattered silver...
The chief butler himself also manages the finances of his family. He is very curious about calculating accounts. He takes out his abacus and calculates with thunderbolt...
After calculating and calculating, this abacus turned out to be not enough, so I took out another one, and the two abacus clicked together again...
When the butler took out five abacus and calculated them together, the prince's expression changed. It was obviously a square chessboard with not many grids, so why were five abacus used?
And I saw that the sweat was almost falling from the butler's forehead. The butler's face turned pale, and even the hands that used the abacus began to tremble. What does this mean? It means that the number is not small, and it even far exceeds expectations...
…
The butler calculated for nearly an hour before he came up with the final result. Five abacuses joined together were not enough, but there are only five abacuses here...
"It seems that the butler has already settled the matter. Let's ask the prince to cash it. Should I take the banknote and leave, or what?" Bai Haitang asked.
"How much?" The prince felt that the number was more than he thought, but he didn't know how much more it was. He was unsure, but he never imagined that this number was astronomical...
"Sir, please tell me that the treasury of the Prince's Mansion is not enough. Even the national treasury is not enough for this amount..." The chief steward let out a long sigh.
"What?!" The prince panicked!
Bai Haitang smiled inwardly. He loved to see these old guys panicking. They thought they were superior, but they didn't even understand a small math game. It felt so proud to play with them while applauding!
It's just a numbers game, dealing with these ignorant and arrogant people.
"Did you calculate correctly?" The prince didn't believe it. He definitely didn't believe that the prince's treasury was not enough! He also said that the treasury was not enough either!
"I calculated it twice, yes, it's true." The butler replied firmly.
This time, it wasn't just the butler who was sweating on his forehead, the prince was also worried. He thought he could refuse to accept the debt, but this number was beyond his expectation. A small chessboard could actually hold it.
Bet so much silver!
This makes me so embarrassed! I lose all face in front of a country woman...
"It seems that the Prince is ready to give me a banknote. If the banknote from the Prince's Palace is not enough, you can owe it first, but interest will be charged..." Bai Haitang continued to joke. She had long known that the Prince would give up this idea.
Will default on the bill.
"You, you already knew how much it was?" The prince almost pointed at Bai Haitang's nose. He felt really unhappy after being fooled by this girl.
"Of course, I have reminded the prince to be careful, but I didn't expect that the butler calculated for an hour and knew the result at a glance, or at most a cup of tea. The efficiency of your prince's palace is amazing.
It’s really not high.” Haitang said.
The chief steward and the prince have nothing to say...
