Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 94 How to talk!
"what?"

Yang Rong and Shi Jingtong didn't know why and looked at Zhu Tuo blankly.

Zhu Tuo immediately told the matter exactly as it was, and threatened: "This matter is related to the reputation of our family. If we can't deduce it or can't shirk it, then we will be beheaded by our father!"

The faces of both of them became serious, and Yang Rong said seriously: "If this is the case, then there must be something wrong here."

"I will not disappoint you!"

Seeing the serious expressions of the three of them, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little strange.

Hey, what's the situation?
Zhuo Jing couldn't help but say: "King Su also has good intentions. If these two people are not allowed to participate in this taxation, even if it is not of much use, at least they can get more experience."

"Are you looking down on me?" Zhu Tuo waved his hand and said decisively: "Ask your people to help my disciple. All taxes can be sorted out in minutes."

Zhuo Jing was a little speechless. They were all people who had been working for decades, so they naturally knew the account books inside. Moreover, they were all elites in the court, not much different from King Su and his two disciples.

King Su is also a stubborn guy.

A scholar was dissatisfied, took out an account book from his arms, came to Yang Rong, opened the account book, with a smile on his face: "Prince Su's disciple can see through the account book, look at this book, in the end What did you write?"

Yang Rong scanned it and said coldly: "This is a province in Guangdong.

Salt.This is a year's tax. Taking into account his consumption, it should be about 50 taels.

As soon as Yang Rong finished speaking, the official seemed to be shocked. He was stunned, quickly took it back, and began to calculate.

After a while, he stared at the abacus dumbfounded and muttered to himself: "This, this is actually right."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened and he looked at Zhu Tuo in disbelief.

My own disciple, just took a look and came to a conclusion?

Did you calculate it so quickly?

"Can you really give me your taxes?"

Zhu Yuanzhang still couldn't believe it. Could this be all a coincidence?
"Okay." Zhu Tuo said confidently: "You two, summarize the bills and calculate the general ledger.
Yang Rong and Shi Jingtong nodded and said, "Yes."

The two spread out the account books on the ground, Shi Jing looked at them together, and Yang Rong was in charge. The two cooperated tacitly and the speed was extremely high.

A grey-haired official stood up and looked at the two in surprise. When he saw Yang Rong calculating with strange words, he couldn't help asking: "What's going on? How are the numbers expressed? "

Yang Rong said: "This symbol is called Arabic, and it was taught to us by our master. Using this symbol to perform calculations will be faster and more accurate."

Why is that?
These officials are all masters of arithmetic, and they are good at accounts, and they have never heard of Arabic numerals. Are they flattering?
Yang Rong and Shi Jingtong's deduction speed was extremely high, and the calculations one after another stunned the onlookers. Even Zhuo Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, was stunned. Could it be that their workload is greater than these officials?
By then, wouldn't the dozens of people from Nanchao and Hubu have been wasted?
Why not just let them do it?

Zhuo Jing couldn't believe it. His eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at Yang Rong and Shi Jingtong doing the same thing. The more he calculated, the more surprised he became. The two people's deductions were exactly the same.

$72 is really calculated.
When Zhuo Jingcai opened the book in his hand, he was stunned. He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang blankly as if in a dream, and said in a hoarse voice: "Let me tell you, your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with their deduction.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stared at Zhu Tuo with his eyes widened.

Zhu Tuo burst out laughing wildly: "Father, I'm right. The deduction method used by Mr. Zhuo and the others is out of date a long time ago. Well, tell Father, what do you think of my method?"

Yang Rong said solemnly: "The master is a 'Wenquxing', and the deduction method he taught is a unique one."

When Zhuo Jing heard this, he immediately curled his lips.What mistake did Wen Quxing make to take refuge in such an unreliable person in this world!

Zhu Tuo continued: "Yang Rong, Shi Jingtong, tell them to open their eyes, follow the route I taught, and write down every tax change on paper.

"Okay, master."

Yang Rong and Shi Jingtong hurriedly picked up a booklet and drew on the paper. Several officials looked at this scene with expressions of surprise.

"I've never heard of it. What kind of calculation is this?"

"Why haven't we discovered this method after decades of calculation? It's really ridiculous!"

Yang Rong and Wang Chong quickly counted the taxes of a province, marked them clearly on a map, and asked the eunuchs to report the taxes.

Zhu Yuanzhang held a simple drawing, which said how much silver, how much cloth, how much ceramics, how much salt was in it. These were all clear, although Zhu Yuanzhang did not see these lines.

One painting at a time, but one can see it clearly at a glance.

"So easy, so clear."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

Only half an hour has passed?

In one hour, he calculated all the taxes of a province, and he did so meticulously!
What's happening here?
Zhu Tuo said: "This is the so-called compound operation. In the past, the household department used a simple method to perform additions and deductions. Because there were too many quantities, errors were likely to occur. With this combined operation , not only has high accuracy, but also speeds up calculations.”

"Moreover, the calculation speed of Arabic numerals is indeed faster than that of Chinese characters."

Although Zhuo Jing didn't believe it, he had to believe it. He looked at Zhu Tuo with burning eyes and asked: "King Su, do you know how difficult this method is? I wonder if you can teach me how to be an official?"

"It's natural." Zhu Tuo didn't hide it, and laughed: "My two apprentices who are ignorant, I will let you live in the household department for two days."

"Thank you, thank you." Zhuo Jing was a little excited. This kind of calculation technique is simply incredible and breathtaking. Such strategizing makes it much easier to move money and food in and out of various places, not to mention the court.

Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at Zhu Tuo in shock.

This guy, isn't he just a pervert? He seems lawless at ordinary times, but he actually has a lot on his mind.

Zhu Tuo left triumphantly, and Xu Da came to find Zhu Yuanzhang. The two discussed it, and Zhu Yuanzhang told Xu Da his plan. Xu Da touched his beard and laughed: "This is a great event. !”

"Prince Su is indeed a genius. He can think of so many Arabic values? Does Prince Su even know Arabs?"

"The devil knows." Zhu Yuanzhang was also puzzled, and after a while he said, "What does Xu Aiqing think of Zhu Tuo's child?"

This was the first time Zhu Yuanzhang seriously asked Xu Da for Zhu Tuo's opinion.

Before, they were just chatting about Zhu Tuo.But this time, it seemed a little serious.

Regarding Zhu Tuo, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer looked like a child, but regarded him as his future.

Xu Da pondered for a moment, closed his eyes slightly, and then slowly opened them: "King Su, you can bring peace to the world within, and you can bring peace to the world outside."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Xu Da.
