Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

Zhang Nuo doesn't care, it's just chatting anyway,

"Old Li, you really have to listen to me. The business journey is the most important thing for calculation. Although the court is important, it is [-] miles away from us!"

"But if you want to hear it, I will continue to tell you!"

Zhang Nuo poured himself another glass of wine with a smile, and then took two mouthfuls of food slowly before continuing with Lao Li's eager expression.

"What the county magistrate needs to learn is statistics, how to fully mobilize manpower, figure out the situation under his control, and report the real situation!"

"What court officials need to learn is statistical analysis. They have to analyze the real situation in the local area from the data submitted by each county, and then summarize it into a report and submit it to His Majesty's desk."

"In the end, His Majesty will be able to hold the report in one hand and the data in the other, and refer to each other!"

"Let me give you another example. For example, how many newborns are born in the local area every year, and what percentage of the total population is there? What is the premature death rate of newborns?"

"These two figures, one can reflect whether the local area is rich, after all, if the family has no food, they dare not have children, and the other can indicate whether the local area is short of medical care or medicine."

"So, adding this to my previous example, even if it's just two simple things, can we see a lot of things?"

"This is what I said. The reason why the imperial examination must include arithmetic! Only when you know arithmetic can you make reasonable statistics and report data, and only if you know arithmetic can you analyze and summarize data reasonably."

"You can't just submit an article full of colorful flowers all year round. It seems to say a lot, boasting that you will never close your house at night or pick up lost things."

"But in fact, numbers are the most real. As long as the authenticity of numbers is guaranteed, any problem can be reflected!"

Li Shimin was delighted to hear that, that's right, that's it, the report you handed in at the end of the year said it was like a flower, but if the tax revenue is not good and the population does not increase, then there is definitely a problem.

He has already made up his mind, and he will start to arrange this matter slowly when he turns around.

Talking up to this point, in fact, we have talked enough for today. He came here at noon, and the sky is getting dark now. It seems that it is almost dusk.

Then he has to go too, there are other things to do when he returns to the palace.

However, seeing Zhang Nuo's sluggish look, Li Shimin turned his head and thought, this can't work, every time I went through this over and over again, I was educated by Xiao Zhang's shopkeeper, so I have to find a way to teach it back.

This little shopkeeper seems to be unable to teach knowledge, and it is difficult to imitate him, but is he also excellent in other aspects?

Chapter 65 Give You a Bodyguard

After thinking about it for a while, Li Shimin slowed down his pace of leaving immediately.

He got up and went to shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, hooked his shoulder and said,

"Brother, I see that your body is quite strong, have you ever thought about practicing martial arts?"

When Zhang Nuo heard Lao Li say this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said loudly,

"I want to, of course I want to, but I can't find a good teacher. Do you have such a talent, Lao Li? I'll pay for one! If it's someone who is really capable and willing to teach me seriously!"

Li Shimin smiled like an old fox who stole a chicken, and said thieves,

"Brother, I have prepared it for you a long time ago. My coachman Xingben was originally a good player in the Jianghu.

"However, my brother is getting old, so general martial arts are naturally okay, but it's not enough to learn advanced martial arts. After all, you're old, but you can do it!"

"Now that you are not as young as the weak crown, it is time for your body to be strong. With Xingben's teachings, maybe someday you will become a titan who can defeat ten thousand with one enemy?"

"Then brother, you are a unparalleled figure with both civil and military skills!"

"How about it, do you want Xingben to be the head of the nursing home for you for a year or so? With Xingben in the future, you will save yourself all the troubles in Chang'an City."

"Xingben knows too many people. He knows all the people my brother knows in the officialdom. You don't need to ask for small troubles, he will solve them for you. It's absolutely easy to use!"

Zhang Nuo looked at Lao Li's proud face, as if he was selling some peerless secret treasure, and he couldn't believe it.

He's just a coachman, even if he's the head of the guard, he's at most a captain of the bodyguard, and he has friendship with people in the officialdom?

The key is that Lao Li is still a big talker, what do you mean you don't need to speak up by yourself, if you don't solve it by then, won't you be responsible for it yourself?

Li Shimin saw Xiao Zhang's disbelieving expression on his face, and immediately became unhappy.

Why, I am the lord of the world, and the captain of my personal guard represents my face. Who else in Chang'an City would dare not give him face?

Li Shimin really had no bad intentions in wanting to send Xingben to Zhang Nuo's side.

On the one hand, it is his bad taste, thinking that when Xingben can teach Xiaozhang how to learn martial arts, he will toss and toss him, and it is best to shock him, so that he can also feel that he has to think about it every time he returns from the tavern. Thinking at night, lamenting the inexplicable feeling.

On the other hand, Li Shimin is keenly aware that as the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang's net worth is getting richer, the business to be done at the same time is getting bigger and bigger, and he will conflict with the five surnames and seven Wangs.

Will this bring danger to Shopkeeper Zhang?

After all, for now, the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang is still a white man, and he doesn't plan to be honest with each other and reveal his identity for the time being!

The best way, then, is to give him an amulet.

But what amulet can be better protected by the head of the personal guards around the emperor today?

Don't look at Xingben as just a coachman. He usually behaves cautiously and honestly, and he doesn't look very eye-catching, but in fact, Xingben has the position of a loyal general on the fourth rank.

Even if it is a loose official or military position, it is officially recognized by the court, with official uniform and salary!

With a fourth-rank official position, coupled with the status of the head of the emperor's personal guard, it can be said.

Even in the city of Chang'an, where the Duke walks everywhere and Lord Hou is not as good as a dog, Xingben can basically walk sideways. Occasionally, there will be one or two people who are too big to make things right, so it can be guaranteed that there will be no riots on the spot.

As for someone trying to murder Shopkeeper Zhang?

Hehe, Xing itself has a gold medal that can mobilize the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and even the left and right guards can be mobilized in an emergency.
