Pong Lo grew richer every day, and the Emperor grew more anxious. How could this go on for a hundred days! Again he summoned his mathematician. The mathematician’s fingers flew and the abacus beads clacked.
“Your Majesty!” he cried. “By next month that young man will own all the rice in China!”
The Emperor was beside himself. But he had given his word before his Court. “Then we shall have to get more!”
Five hundred thirty-six million, eight hundred and seventy thousand, nine hundred and twelve grains of rice were delivered to Pong Lo on the thirtieth day. It took forty servants to carry them in huge brass urns.
