Great Tang’s Talented Little Landlord

Li Chengqian saw his father summon and immediately offered a treasure. He trot to his father with an abacus and presented it with both hands.

“Chengqian, how to use this abacus?” Li Er asked with a smile.

“Father, its very simple. Look at this abacus. The bead on the top represents five, and the one on the bottom represents one. The mantra taught us by the teacher is one up one, one down five to four, one to nine One…”

Li Chengqian immediately demonstrated to Li Er, while reciting out loud the abacus formula Li Wangyou taught them.

Li Er quickly figured out the advantages of this thing called “abacus”. It is indeed much faster than abacus. The calculation speeds of the two are not the same.

Dai Zhou and other Ministry of People officials naturally heard the conversation between the two, and they knew the advantage of this abacus over the calculation.

Ministry of People officials looked at each other in blank dismay, myself and the others because of this abacus, lost to two juveniles? It is really unwilling but helpless.

It was Dai Zhou, not only not annoyed, but on the contrary, he was delighted.

“Your Majesty, the minister, etc. lost. Sure enough, Viscount of Hu was right. The Ministry of People’s calculation method is indeed too inefficient. The abacus made by Viscount of Hu is ingenious and ingenious. The minister asked Your Majesty to agree and let Viscount of Hu teach the Ministry of People abacus manufacturing and usage, and promote the abacus to the entire Great Tang.”

Dai Zhou is quite straightforward and upright, so he directly admits defeat and praises it. A lot of Li Wangyou.

The numerous officials in the hall are also very interested in this abacus.

Although Mathematics is a trail, most of Great Tang officials are also proficient. Everyone knows how to use it and needs to be carried with them.

The officials of Great Tang have slaps around their waists.

The so-called slap is a kind of multifunctional storage belt, called slap belt. They are mostly made of leather or metal, which have a strong storage function and are worn on the outside of the belt.

Among the numerous officials, there are seven items that need to be filled with bags, knives, stones, true words, jokes, syringes, and flints. These are the seven things to do, and they are also the Great Tang Civil. and Military Officials standard configuration.

The bag is a pocket for calculating chips.

Now that Viscount of Hu has made this abacus, the calculation is even more convenient. Even the two young children, Crown Prince and Prince of Wei, can rely on this to win the Ministry of People official. It can be seen that it is out of the ordinary place.

“This abacus is really good!” Li Er praised: “Well, that’s it for today. Viscount of Hu, you teach the Ministry how to manufacture and use the abacus. of People, I have my own reward…”

Before he finished speaking, Li Wangyou suddenly stepped forward and interrupted: “Your Majesty, today’s test has not yet been completed. Please, Your Majesty, agree The minister continues.”

Li Wangyou’s words made Li Er slightly startled, but he didn’t understand what he meant.

Numerous officials have already seen the role of abacus, and Dai Zhou also bowed his head to admit defeat. As for the Ministry of People’s account book, Li Wangyou has just said that the account book is accurate, so what else to do?

But Li Er naturally knows that Li Wangyou is not a fool.

He was too lazy to bother thinking about what Li Wangyou wanted to do, so he simply nodded: “Since Viscount of Hu still wants to teach Chengqian and Qingque, let’s continue.”

When Li Er said that today’s affairs ended here, Li Ru thought he had escaped a catastrophe, and the hanging heart had just been let go, but he heard Li Wangyou still continue, and almost yelled at him.

What kind of hatred is this, your Viscount of Hu insists on killing me?

He has forgotten the matter of killing but not selling the Da’anfang mansion before. He didn’t even give Dai Zhou’s face, so he was disgusted by Li Wangyou.

When things came, Li Ru regretted that his intestines were all blue. He wanted to slap himself a few times. What kind of madness did he make at the beginning, and he has to fight against this Viscount of Hu?

Nowadays, it is too late to say anything.

Li Wangyou bowed to Li Er, turned around and picked up the corn book, turned a few pages, and signaled the Ministry of People officials, Li Chengqian and Li Tai to start the calculation.

“Come in, cooked horse feed 180 shi and 36 buckets, close, cooked horse feed 470 shi and 17 buckets…”

This time he read it It is faster, but the things that need to be calculated are very simple, just simple addition calculations.

When he finished reading, the second urine followed to report the number: “Master, a total of 166,619 shi was collected for cooked horse feed.”

Ministry of People officials also reported this number: “Replying to his Majesty, Viscount of Hu, collect cooked horse feed 166,619 shi.”

When Li Chengqian, Li Tai One after the other with the Ministry of People official, after reporting this set of numbers, Ministry of People’s doctor Li Ru instantly became face deathly pale, and the whole person seemed to have been convulsed, directly limp on the floor.

Dai Zhou, who was still smiling before, changed his face fiercely and glared fiercely at Li Ru who had collapsed.

And most of the numerous officials in the hall also reacted. According to the Ministry of People’s two books, the number of cooked horse feeds is actually not up to date!

The copper coin account book, the result of the calculation just now, in the second year and four months of Zhenguan, spent about 170,000 coins of copper coins and about 170,000 stone of cooked horse feed.

But in another corn account book, in four months, the cooked food horse feed was only 166,000 stones, which is more than 4,000 stones!

According to the price of one stone of cooked horse feed, the approximate price is more than two hundred dollars per bucket, and the price of about two ties and one stone is about 8,000 guan.

In other words, someone embezzled 8,000 coins from the Ministry of People. This is not a small sum. even more how, this is only four months in the second year of Zhenguan.

Thinking about the key, the hall is so quiet that the needle can be heard.

Everyone is silent, this is a huge case!

It was so easily exposed by Viscount of Hu!

Everyone immediately turned their eyes to Li Ru who collapsed on the ground. There was no one else who could do this except this Ministry of People doctor.

Zhang Liang was even more horrified. He really didn’t know Li Ru’s greed for ink.

Although he is usually domineering, he is not an idiot, even more how he has a lot of property in his mansion, and Li Er has more rewards, and he doesn’t need to be greedy for these copper coins.

Zhang Liang is only worried now that he will invite trouble because of this idiot Big Uncle.

At this time, he regrets more and more, has he been blinded by lard? Why follow this Li Ru to make a bet with Li Wangyou?

Dai Zhou got up and walked out and knelt down in front of the imperial order: “Your Majesty, the ministerial control is not strict and the supervision is improper, causing some people to seek personal gain from the Ministry of People and corrupt the law. This is all. Its the crime of the minister! Please Your Majesty to punish the crime.”

Zhang Liangs reaction was not slow, and he even ran out stumblingly, but also knelt down in front of the imperial step: “Your Majesty, the ministers The minister really doesnt know what the brother-in-law is doing. Please also ask Your Majesty to check it out. These people who are corrupt and pervert the law are extremely guilty, and the minister is ashamed to be with them.”

He said beautifully, but let Numerous officials shook their heads secretly.

In any case, Li Ru is Zhang Liang’s wife and brother, so clean, but you can see his heart.

Above the imperial ranks, Li Er’s face has become ashen…
