Chapter 993 New and Old Friends
Kong Rong's suggestion is not unreasonable.

First of all, he shifted the fundamental responsibility to Emperor Xiaohuan and avoided Emperor Xiaoling, the first emperor, so as not to arouse the emperor's disgust.

Secondly, the target of his sword is the eunuch.With the abolition of the eunuch system, the power of the eunuchs has been completely defeated, and no one dares to stand up against it.Even if someone has doubts about this, they will not take the initiative to jump out and complain for the eunuch.

This is almost a battle without opponents, and victory is at your fingertips.

When the "Emperor Xiaoling Ji" was being compiled, Kong Rong's suggestion meant to blame Xiaohuan and slander Xiaoling, and it was very likely that the emperor would support him.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that Kong Rong's suggestion seems to agree with the emperor, but in fact it hides the intention of admonishing the emperor.

Emperor Xiaohuan had two most criticized disorderly regimes: one was to re-use eunuchs, which disrupted discipline; the other was to re-use Duan Jiong to use soldiers against the Eastern Qiang.

Duan Jiong's victory won Emperor Xiaohuan a posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous title, but it pushed the finances, which were already beyond their means, to collapse. As a result, Emperor Xiaoling was faced with the dilemma of not being able to release official salaries in time at the beginning of his succession to the throne.

It is true that the emperor abolished the eunuch system as good governance, but he planned to use troops overseas when the world was uncertain, which was worse and more dangerous than Emperor Xiaohuan.If we want to avoid repeating the same mistakes, we should stop using troops overseas and recuperate.

So as soon as Kong Rong's letter was announced, it won the praise of countless people.

Kong Rong was also very proud, so he specially came to Situ Mansion to ask Mi Heng for a drink, and wanted to hear Mi Heng's opinion.

Mi Heng had already prepared for Kong Rong's arrival, so he asked a young official to take Kong Rong to a small courtyard aside, and waited for him to finish his official duties before meeting Kong Rong.

Seeing Mi Heng posing, Kong Rong was a little upset, pushed away the little official who greeted him, and went straight to the main hall.

The main hall of Situ Mansion was transformed into a large office by Mi Heng, even the corridors were full of people.Some are waiting to report to work, while others are dealing with related affairs.Sitting in the main hall, Mi Heng is facing a large case, on which there are pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and stacks of official documents.

When Kong Rong came in, Mi Heng was approving official documents while listening to the two people before the case to report on affairs.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Mi Heng looked up and saw that it was Kong Rong, frowned, but did not speak.

Kong Rong didn't take it seriously at first, but after listening for a while, he realized that what the two reported was not the same thing.

One was talking about sericulture, and the other was talking about preparing money and food for the Northern Army.

The voices of the two were not loud. While talking, they also looked at the ledger in their hands and reported a series of numbers.

Just when Kong Rong was surprised, Mi Heng raised his head, handed the official document in his hand to the side official, and at the same time said to the person on the left who was talking about sericulture: "You check the accounts clearly before reporting, don't waste my money." time."

The man was taken aback. "Chang Shi, this account has been checked three times, and there is no corruption."

The small official who reported the Northern Army's money and food on one side ignored it and continued to report.

Mi Heng said several figures in a row, and then sneered: "This is the number of mulberry fields in Nanyang the year before last, which is larger than the ones you reported just now. You said that the increase was [-]% last year. These mulberry fields fell from the sky? Even if You have added a few counties that were originally assigned to Zhangling today, and the numbers are not right. If it is not a miscalculation, it is an inflated number."

The man's face changed slightly, he didn't dare to talk too much, he held up the ledger, bowed twice, and went down.

The little official who reported the Northern Army's money and rations happened to have finished speaking, and was waiting for Mi Heng's reply.

While beckoning another person to come forward, Mi Heng picked up an official document, pointed out the pen without any dots, and said in his mouth: "The plan that the Taiwei Mansion reported to the Situ Mansion before is to enter the army after the autumn harvest today. In addition to enlisting the local militia In addition to transporting grain, we also need to take advantage of the free time in summer to inspect the river to reduce the consumption of transporting grain. The first batch of money and grain paid is for clearing the river, and does not include the cost of marching troops after autumn. The Situ Mansion has already arranged for the money and grain. At that time, it will naturally be dialed over, and there will be no less stone."

"Here." The clerk responded, and sent a document to Mi Heng. Mi Heng glanced at it, approved a few words on it, and then asked someone to seal it.

Kong Rong stood aside, dumbfounded.

He knew that Mi Heng had the ability to never forget, but it was the first time he saw Mi Heng multitasking and handling several affairs at the same time.

"Has your long history been so hard?" Kong Rong asked the young official beside him.

The young official nodded and looked at Mi Heng with admiration in his eyes. "You Changshi is really a genius. Not only does he have a photographic memory, but he is also as careful as a hair. No matter how small a mistake is, it is difficult to hide it from his eyes. It is really wise for Situ to appoint him as a long history and give him the post of residence. Don't worry, sir, he will be free after a while."

Kong Rong looked the little official up and down. "You are very unfamiliar, just entered the mansion?"

The clerk smiled slightly. "Sir is really clever."

Kong Rong pouted.As soon as he heard the little official talk, he knew that he was new here, and he didn't even know the relationship between him and Mi Heng, and thought he was here to visit Mi Heng.

"Where is the family?"

"He is from Xiangyang. His surname is Yang, his name is Yi, and his cursive style is Weigong. He is fourteen years old this year. He just entered Situ's mansion half a month ago. He is a running official."

"From Xiangyang." Kong Rong smiled slightly. "Who recommended you? Zhuge Liang or Pang Tong?"

Yang Yi was a little unhappy, put away her smile, and said lightly: "I got in by myself." He paused, and then said: "Because I have some experience in arithmetic, I was attracted by your long history."

Kong Rong looked at Yang Yi in surprise.

Yang Yi said it politely, but to be favored by someone like Mi Heng, it is definitely not something that can be done with a little experience in mathematics, it must be outstanding.

"I happen to have a problem, can you help me figure it out?"

Yang Yi glanced at Kong Rong, and stretched out her hand to signal Kong Rong to follow him.The two returned to the small courtyard before. Yang Yi invited Kong Rong to sit down in the hall, then took out a counting chip, and said to Kong Rong, "Please come up with a question, sir."

Kong Rong was also polite and asked a question.

He has nothing to do in Taixue recently, and often goes to the Lingtai to play, discussing some calendar issues with Taishi Ling Liu Hong, many of which are not small and require advanced arithmetic to solve.

He asked Yang Yi two questions, which were not too difficult, but the amount of calculation was not small.

Yang Yi didn't even use the calculations, pinched her fingertips, and reported the answer, and it was accurate.

Kong Rong was startled, and jumped up against the case. "Boy, who did you learn from? It's a pity to be a small official in Situ's mansion with such a calculation. If you want to, I can recommend you to Lingtai to worship under Liu Yuanzhuo's family."

Yang Yi was startled. "Is it Liu Yuanzhuo who created the "Qianxiang Calendar"?"

"Exactly."

"Kong Wenju, you really don't come to the door for anything, and there must be something to do when you come to the door." Mi Heng walked in with hands behind his back, striding in. "Why, did the diggers come to my Situ Mansion?"

Kong Rong laughed and shook his sleeves. "Zhengping, look at what you said, I'm just happy to see him, and I don't want him to be buried."

"He is very useful in Situ Mansion, how could he be buried?" You Heng said angrily: "Astronomy and calendar are important, but no matter how important it is, can it be more important than people's livelihood? The accounts that Situ Mansion has to handle every day are piled up like a mountain. Numbers are related to the gains and losses of countless people, and there must be no trace of corruption, but it is much more serious than the calendar half a day earlier and half a day later."

Kong Rong shook his head again and again. "Zhengping, this statement is wrong. Even the Son of Heaven has to follow the sky, how can the calendar be ignored? The lack of government affairs in the past was caused by the inaccurate calendar. Now that the Son of Heaven is rejuvenating the great man, revising the calendar is the top priority."
