Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 541 Presumptuously guessing, it was not the work of Qin officials! (seeking subscription)

Shangshusi Political Affairs Hall.

Qin Luoheng sat on the chief seat, followed by the rest of the officials.

He said: "I said that I would give you a day, and I will do what I said, but my time is very limited, and it takes a lot of time to find out, so Hua will send the account books of Shangshusi for the past six months. Move them all over here."

Hua Yao cupped his hands and said, "No."

Immediately, Hua Yao came out of the lobby and informed the small officials on the side to send all the account books of the Shangshu Division to the Zhengshitang.

When the little official went to move the account books, Hua Yao re-entered the lobby.

He opened the mouth and said, "Young Master, after half a year, the officials of the Shangshu Division have performed their duties. At present, the Shangshu Division has innovated 120 three pieces of equipment and improved 340 five pieces of agricultural tools and tools, covering almost most of the production."

"Among them, the most are related to farming tools."

"Currently, Chaoge's farming equipment has been improved from three people and two cows to one person and one cow, and the farming efficiency has not decreased at all, and it is even more efficient than before. In addition, the sowing technology has also been improved, and the sowing is more efficient. save human effort."

"At the same time, improvements were made to Ironsmithing."

"The daily production of pig iron in an iron-making furnace has increased by [-]%, but the technology is not yet fully mature and is still being refined. After a while, you should be able to completely master the smelting technique. Iron production will be greatly increased."

"In addition, Shangshusi also improved stone mills, rollers, pedals, etc., which can greatly save manpower. In addition, there are improvements in some tools, such as saws, wheelbarrows, etc. These things can Save a lot of manpower."

"."

Hua said everything in detail.

heard.

Qin Luoheng also showed some interest. He knew that Shangshusi had some achievements, but it was a bit unexpected that he could improve and innovate so much, and the scope was so wide.

But he also knew it in his heart.

To persecute the farmers and the Mohist family in this way is actually to encourage the growth of the seedlings.

It's just that he doesn't care about those anymore.

He is very clear that once these things come out, they will have a great impact on the world, enough to change the current mode of production, and then all people in the world will benefit from it, and all people in the world will also be able to reduce their burdens and greatly increase productivity.

Maybe Zaihua has to wait for people's hearts.

The emergence and improvement of these utensils will not constitute substantial changes to society.

But only Qin Luoheng understands that some things are not equal to one plus one equals two. These things seem fragmentary. If they are really extended to the whole Qin Dynasty, the changes that can be formed are far beyond many people's expectations. of.

Let’s just talk about the output of pig iron.

Now Daqin pig iron is mainly used for military and farm implements.

Even so, the production of pig iron in Daqin still cannot keep up with the demand. If the production of pig iron can be greatly increased, after a sufficient supply of military and farming tools, part of the pig iron can be used for people's livelihood. The changes that iron tools bring to life are great. It's so obvious.

And it can greatly release productivity.

It's just that none of the officials in Daqin have this kind of cognition. If Qin Luoheng was born and bred, I'm afraid he wouldn't have such a long-term cognition. Only after experiencing modernization can he deeply know how big the gap between industrialization and agricultural country is. .

By the way!

This is truly worlds apart.

It is simply not something that can be easily shaken by manpower.

But Qin Luoheng also knew that Daqin could only do this at the moment.

The scientific system has not really been established, or even formed, and many theoretical foundations have not been put forward. It is completely unrealistic to want to eat a fat man in one bite. Even if he tells some things to the Mohist, the Mohist may not be able to figure it out, let alone Put it into practice.

Now these.

It also almost consumed hundreds of years of academic accumulation in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

Qin Luoheng was not blindly arrogant.

He still has a very clear understanding of the reality, knowing that this is the limit of the current Great Qin. Even if he continues to persecute the Mohists desperately, he will at most achieve some trivial innovations. It is completely unrealistic to step into the Iron Age.

He is enough!

Shangshusi's achievements in the past six months are now enough for Daqin.

Qin Luoheng nodded slightly.

I am pleased to say:
"You have worked hard for the past six months."

"Shangshusi's task is not easy."

"Not only did you do a great job, but it even exceeded my expectations."

"Reward!"

"However, I came here in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring any rewards. This time, I owe it for the time being. When I return to Xianyang in the future, I will reward it together."

heard.

Hua Yao waited for a smile on his face.

Hastily said:
"Thank you ten sons."

"It's all my job."

They are not happy to be rewarded, but to return to Xianyang.

Chaoge is too far away from Xianyang.

In fact, they have always been very nervous, not knowing how long they will wait for others to stay in Chaoge, or whether they will stay forever, but now they hear that they can go back in the future, and their hearts are instantly relieved like a big stone falling to the ground.

Qin Luoheng naturally saw the joy in Huayao's eyes.

Most of the officials he selected were in their early twenties, so they could be regarded as fledglings, but these people were basically in Xianyang in the past, and they were rarely away from home for such a long time, and they were more or less homesick. Want to comfort them.

At this time.

A small official entered the lobby respectfully.

He is holding a few thick stacks of account books in his hand. The Shangshusi is considered rich and powerful, and the account books are all made of paper. Otherwise, if all the heavy political affairs of the Shangshusi in the past six months were all made of bamboo slips, they would be piled up like a hill. There are many difficulties.

even so.

The workload is also very heavy, and it can be easily completed in a short time.

see.

Hua Yao also hurriedly got up to leave, and said: "I still have some political affairs to deal with, so I won't bother the tenth son, I will leave first."

The others understood why, and got up and left the venue one after another.

In just a few dozen breaths, there were only a dozen people sitting in the lobby, but in an instant, only Qin Luoheng and Chen Ping were left.

Qin Luoheng looked normal.

He put the thick ledger on the case.

I turned it over from the bottom with my hand, only to hear bursts of clacking sounds, and a breeze with a slight smell rushed towards my face.

Qin Luoheng said in a deep voice:

"In the past six months, the Secretary of the Shangshu has a heavy task."

"I wouldn't be surprised if such a heavy account book was placed in the Shao's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion, etc., but the Shangshusi is just a small official office, so it's really a bit burdensome to sort out so much data."

Whisper twice.

Qin Luoheng looked at the account books seriously.

After looking at it for a while, he threw one of the stacks to Chen Ping, and said, "You should also check it out, it is indeed not easy to find out that Zhangmu's data is falsified, but it is not impossible, the falsification of data will eventually have to be justified. "

"When I was living in a place, I heard about a way to check the data."

Chen Ping bowed slightly and listened attentively.

see.

Qin Luoheng shook his head.

Said:

"It's not something precious, but the experience summed up by some merchants. I don't know if it is really effective. If it is reviewed one by one according to the established process, it will be time-consuming and laborious, and it will be difficult to accurately find the problem. More importantly, we are short of manpower. Also too many."

"So it's just as tricky as possible."

"After some problems are discovered, they will be reviewed one by one according to the procedures."

Chen Pingdao: "What the young master said is very true."

Qin Luoheng said: "This method of checking various data is a conclusion drawn from real life, that is, the probability of occurrence of numbers with one as the first digit is about 1% of the total number, which is close to the expected value 9/ Three times as many as [-]."

"in short."

"The larger the number, the lower the frequency of occurrence of the number with it as the first few digits."

"I roughly scanned these account books just now, and they are basically the accounts of a single official, so don't worry about the data leaking out."

"You follow this rule to check first."

heard.

Chen Ping was slightly taken aback.

For a moment, he couldn't figure out why.

But in a daze, I seem to know roughly what it means.

Although this rule seems a bit strange, but the ten sons have said so, he can only follow it.

He took out a blank piece of paper, recorded the names of the book review officials on it one by one, and then began to record the number that appeared first in the data above.

the other side.

Qin Luoheng did the same.

However, he was much more relaxed than Chen Ping. He did not mark the usual one, two, three, and four, but the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. After checking for a while, an idea gradually came to his mind.

The numbers must be promoted as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it would be too difficult to check the accounts. The densely packed Chinese characters would be confusing to the eyes, and the trial and registration would take a lot of time, and it would be very inconvenient to check the accounts. If all numbers such as 1234 are used, it will be more intuitive and concise.

However, although the number 1234 is convenient to use, it is also much easier to counterfeit.

So you have to learn from future generations.

Two kinds of numbers are used for bookkeeping, one is the common 1, 2, 3, 4, and the other is the capitalized number 'one, two, three, four'. This comparison will also increase the difficulty of counterfeiting.

Qin Luoheng just thought about it for a moment, then put it aside.

The first thing to do now is to check the accounts.

The matter of inventing numbers will be discussed later when I have time.

Qin Luoheng and Chen Ping were quietly reviewing the accounts indoors, while Hua Yao and the others were slightly uneasy.

After a while.

Sima Chang opened his mouth and said: "Master Shi only asked Chen Ping to check the accounts this time. With so many accounts, can only two people really check them?"

He frowned and said:

"You don't need us to teach you how to do ten young masters."

"We just need to do our job well. In addition, if someone of you really cheated on the accounts, I also advise you to confess to the tenth son as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the tenth son finds out, the tenth son will not be so good at that time. "

Sima Chang's expression froze slightly.

He cupped his hands and said:

"What Gu Zuo Er said is very true."

"I don't know who falsified the books."

"It's just a little strange that the ten sons already know that someone is cheating, so why don't they know who it is?"

"Is there something else hidden in it?"

"Or maybe no one is cheating at all, it's just that the tenth son has a problem with some of us, so he wants to check the accounts"

Gu interrupted:

"Think about what the Ten Young Masters mean."

"It wasn't the Qin officials' doing!"

"Be careful!"
