Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Emperor Jing shook his head with a smile that was not quite a smile: “I know, gentlemen, you need not worry.”

“Let's get down to business. Fang Qing, is this form your creation?”

Fang Zheng Yi snapped out of his spectator mode and said seriously: “Your Majesty, this form is indeed my original work, and I call it the Tabular Method!”

Emperor Jing nodded and praised: “Good! A good Tabular Method, truly an eye-opener! When did you come up with this ingenious method? Explain it in detail. Since it was created by you, you should know it better than anyone else. Why didn't you present such a good method earlier?”

Fang Zheng Yi smiled and said: “When I was managing Taoyuan County, I was often troubled by complex accounts, so I tried every means to simplify them. There were many difficulties in this process, and it was not until the establishment of Dongjiao University and the recruitment of talents that the Tabular Method was perfected.”

“And Yucai Elementary School is the first pilot project. I thought that if five or six-year-old children can learn it smoothly, then the officials throughout my Great Jing Dynasty will be able to popularize it smoothly.”

The ministers all pretended to be enlightened.

So that's how it is. The Tabular Method was born in this way. It's really painstaking!

Emperor Jing praised even more: “Zheng Yi, you have put your heart into it.”

Fang Zheng Yi couldn't help but laugh.

His father-in-law was too informal, not using official titles in public!

It seems that he really values the value behind it. In the past, he made two sets of books in Taoyuan County, one of which used this.

However, times are developing, and it is not ethical to continue hiding good tools that benefit the people of the world. Besides, the technology in the county is also increasing day by day... Mastering the core technology, there is no need to panic!

“This son also sees that Father Emperor is working hard all day long and wants to do his best to show filial piety.” Fang Zheng Yi said modestly.

“.....”

The expressions of the ministers instantly changed from admiration to contempt.

That's too much! You were researching the Tabular Method in Taoyuan County, and you were already thinking about becoming a consort at that time?

It's enough for His Majesty to praise you, kid. You're really climbing up the pole! It's a court meeting. Are you two connecting emotionally here?!

Emperor Jing smiled without saying a word.

Fang Zheng Yi continued: “Actually, this son also wanted to present the Tabular Method to Your Majesty today for your review. I didn't expect that all the colleagues are farsighted and saw the key to it at a glance. However, I still have something here that I can show you.”

Emperor Jing waved his hand: “Present it... Forget it, come to me and speak up close.”

Fang Zheng Yi said yes, walked up the steps to the imperial desk, and took out a few more forms from his arms and placed them on the imperial desk.

Turning sideways, he said: “Your Majesty, please see. According to the achievements of the Academy of Sciences and Dongjiao University, the Tabular Method can actually use some formulas for simple calculations. The only thing the accountant needs to do is to fill in the numbers.”

“On the other hand, for the heads of the six departments who need to have a panoramic view, there can also be simpler, more efficient, and worry-free display forms. For this reason, I also invented a graphical interface...”

As Fang Zheng Yi spoke, he opened a report, and several brand-new forms were revealed below.

Emperor Jing pondered and finished reading, signaling Fang Zheng Yi to raise it up and show it to everyone.

Fang Zheng Yi said: “Please see, everyone, these are bar charts, line charts, pie charts... Taking the line chart as an example, through this chart, you can clearly see the amount, increase, decrease, and grasp the general trend, which can save you...”

As Fang Zheng Yi spoke, Emperor Jing nodded secretly, and the ministers listened attentively.

Every time a form was explained, it would stir up a round of discussion.

Especially those who are high-ranking and often deal with a large amount of numerical statistics are overjoyed.

The large reduction in workload and the huge increase in efficiency are obvious. If you can use this kind of thing to work in the future, how comfortable would it be? I can't even imagine it!

When Fang Zheng Yi finished speaking, the discussion among the people had not ended. Suddenly, Li Yansong opened his mouth and said: “Master Fang, I have a question.”

“Lord Li, please speak.”

“Hiss... You just said that you invented a graphical interface. I can still understand what graphical means, but I'm confused about the interface that was added later.” Li Yansong stroked his beard and pondered.

When the others heard this, they were also greatly puzzled.

Yes, what is an interface? It feels a bit superfluous.

Fang Zheng Yi secretly curled his lips.

These literati really like to dwell on words. What's there to be entangled about?

“Because I think it's more fashionable to call it that.” Fang Zheng Yi, the founder of computer graphics, replied.

“Uh... Okay.” Li Yansong felt a little speechless and didn't dwell on it too much.

After all, Xiao Fang seems to have more bad tastes than ordinary people.

Emperor Jing took a few forms and looked at them repeatedly, and couldn't help but exclaim: “Wonderful, it's really wonderful! Replacing words with pictures can have such a magical effect!”

Xu Wenshu was already excited when he heard it below.

This thing is useful to everyone, but it is especially useful to him!

The Ministry of Revenue is responsible for the money and grain of the world. The countless numbers and complicated summaries are simply a headache.

Now, this headache has been solved easily.

The joy in his heart is self-evident.

Although it is a good thing, it obviously cannot be rushed. There are too many accumulated matters in the world, and the Ministry of Revenue is too important.

Emperor Jing looked at Fang Zheng Yi for the first time.

Fang Zheng Yi said: “Your Majesty, I think it is feasible. But to promote it quickly, there are still many details that need to be understood in detail by the people in the Ministry of Revenue, and Dongjiao University has such talents.”

“Why not select a group of mathematical talents from the Academy of Sciences and Dongjiao University and send them to the Ministry of Revenue to study, first conduct small-scale study and practice, and finally combine the experience of the court to compile the use of the Tabular Method into a book, and then promote it to the world?”

Xu Wenshu immediately echoed: “I think what Master Fang said is reasonable!”

Emperor Jing also appreciated it very much. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Fang Zheng Yi say again: “But there is one problem. After all, the Ministry of Revenue is an important department of the court. The students of Dongjiao University are not officials, and their names are not justified... So, cough, we have to arrange a position in the Ministry of Revenue, right? If it really doesn't work, we can set up an Actuarial Department separately to communicate with the Ministry of Revenue. What do you think?”

Before Emperor Jing could speak, Xu Wenshu opened his mouth and stammered: “There are not so many vacancies, and it is not appropriate! Your people have not studied formal books, how can they be officials?”

Fang Zheng Yi immediately showed displeasure: “Master Xu, what are you talking about! The people I found for you are all from formal colleges, what do you mean they haven't studied formal books? They researched the Tabular Method together!”

“Principal Fang, I didn't mean to belittle...”

“Enough, stop arguing.” Emperor Jing decided: “This matter is of great importance. Since it is the talent selected by the Royal Academy of Sciences, I have decided to set up an Actuarial Department within the Ministry of Revenue for the convenience of the Ministry of Revenue. The funds will be allocated from the Imperial Treasury. Do you gentlemen have any objections?”
