The envoys from the two countries had already contacted each other, and the difficult problems raised by them were easily solved by King Shu.
The expressions of the remaining envoys from other countries also became solemn.
This King of Shu is indeed a monster.
Although they were confident about the problems their country had faced, they were not very confident when they met the King of Shu.
Next, Hong Qi, the envoy of Kucha Kingdom, stood up.
"We in the Kingdom of Qiuci have a difficult problem and would like to ask the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty for advice."
Li Min nodded and said, "I wonder if you have any problems, why don't you tell me?"
Hong Qi, the envoy of Qiuci Kingdom, couldn't help but said: "That's right, our king wanted to find an absolutely fair distribution method. So, he found ten people and ordered a highly respected person to equally distribute the food of these ten people."
"But it didn't take long for this highly respected man to start to distribute the food unfairly. He always distributed more food to those who were closer to him. So the king changed a method, which was to let people take turns to distribute the food.
"
"But this method doesn't work. No matter who you switch to, when allocating it, more points will be given to the person who has a closer relationship with him. May I ask, King Shu, can you find any fairer method?"
The question of the envoy from Kucha made the envoys from other countries frown.
Let Li Shimin and other monarchs and ministers also think deeply.
The people watching outside also began to think.
But in the end, they all shook their heads.
In their view, this problem has no solution at all!
Where can there be absolute fairness in this world?
It is simply impossible to find a fair and just method!
Now, they couldn't help but worry. There was no answer to this question at all!
I'm just afraid that the King of Shu doesn't have a better way, right?
The faces of the ministers, including Li Shimin, were also full of worry.
They couldn't think of a solution to this problem.
The envoys from other countries couldn't help but have meaningful smiles on their faces.
In their opinion, as long as they can solve the problem of King Shu, it is a good problem!
King Shu must not be able to answer this question.
Even Cui Shiniang, who was among the crowd, couldn't help but look at the King of Shu curiously.
She couldn't think of a better solution to this problem.
She wanted to see if King Shu could give a better answer to this question?
After Li Min heard this question, he also fell into deep thought.
It is difficult to give a perfect answer to this question that can convince everyone!
However, if you look at it from another angle, this problem is actually not unsolvable.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Min couldn't help but said: "I think that these ten people can be assigned in turns..."
Hong Qi, the envoy of the Qiuci Kingdom, said loudly: "Your Highness, King of Shu, our king has tried this method a long time ago, and the facts have proved that it will not work at all!"
Li Min smiled slightly and said: "But I haven't finished speaking yet! Let these ten people take turns to distribute, but after each distribution, the others will choose in turn, and the person who distributes will be the last one to choose! I believe it.
This way, we can be fair and just every time!”
"This, this..."
After hearing Li Min's answer, the envoys from other countries, including the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, couldn't help but look thoughtful on their faces.
yes!
If after the distribution, let them take turns to choose, and the person who is assigned is the last one to choose - in fact, there is no need to choose, the remaining share is his.
In this way, in order to ensure his own interests, he will definitely divide the ten pieces of food into almost the same amount!
This King of Shu is truly amazing!
I heard the King of Shu continue to say: "Actually, it is the same for a country! If all the officials in the country can do it, if they live high in the temple, they will worry about their people; if they live far away from the rivers and lakes, they will worry about their king.
"Be worried about the worries of the world first, and be happy after the joys of the world! If you can do this, why worry about the world being peaceful and the seas and rivers flat?"
"Good! What a good person to worry about the world's worries first and rejoice after the world's happiness!"
"This sentence will definitely become a famous saying throughout the ages!"
"We are truly honored to be able to participate in this prosperous era and leave a mark in history!"
The people watching below all cheered loudly for the King of Shu.
Envoys from various countries were captured again.
Next, the envoy from the Ruoqiang Kingdom stood up and said: "I have a person from the Ruoqiang Kingdom who is proficient in quick calculation and arithmetic. I hope to compare quick calculation and arithmetic with the King of Shu."
Um?
Compete with me in speed calculation and arithmetic?
Li Min couldn't help but ponder.
In fact, his quick calculation is really average.
As for arithmetic, to be honest, in this era, it is really difficult to find someone who can compete with him.
Of course, even if it is quick calculation, if he uses the system and uses the system to calculate, he can still be invincible.
However, Li Min believed that this would be a defeat without force!
Well, okay, actually he didn't want to waste his money like this.
Therefore, after listening to the words of the envoy from Ruoqiang Kingdom, Li Min smiled slightly and said: "I have a disciple whose name is——"
Originally, Li Min wanted to find Wang Xiaotong, who could be said to be the number one mathematician in the Tang Dynasty.
But Li Min quickly thought that just a few days ago, Wang Xiaotong seemed to have been defeated by Di Renjie!
Moreover, Di Renjie's mind works very quickly. If it comes to quick calculations, I believe Di Renjie is even better, right?
Thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but said: "My name is Di Renjie, let me, my disciple, compete with me! Someone, please bring up my disciple Di Renjie!"
During this competition, several of Li Min's disciples came over.
Following Li Min's order, someone led Di Renjie up not long after.
And the people below were also talking a lot.
"Who is the King of Shu? Wouldn't it be too embarrassing for them to compete with them personally?"
"That's right! What is the status of the King of Shu? He is a god descending to earth, how can he compare with these mere mortals?"
"Send one disciple out, that's enough!"
"The apprentice of the King of Shu, that's also—holy shit, so young?"
Well, at this time, Di Renjie had already walked up.
Only then did everyone see clearly that Di Renjie was just a child of six or seven years old.
Seeing this scene, the envoy from the Nuqiang Kingdom didn't look very good.
Is this King of Shu humiliating us?
Let a mere seven-year-old child compete with our country?
Isn’t this too much of a deception?
The audience below was also talking a lot.
They all felt that this time the King of Shu was too trusting.
It doesn’t matter if you find an apprentice to come on stage, at least find an adult?
For such a small child, how many years can he study even if he studies in his mother's womb?
