Datang romantic little landlord

Before, Li Ru, Zhang Liang, Wang Renyou and others bet against the two of them, and made it clear that they didn't believe them, which made Li Chengqian and Li Tai suffocated.

If it wasn't in front of Li Er and Empress Changsun, the Er Xiao would probably be able to make a fuss on the spot.Now they hang and beat the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs with ease, but these two little guys are very proud.

Under the watchful eyes of all the officials in the hall, Li Er and Empress Changsun, the ten officials who were most proficient in calculations from the Ministry of Civil Affairs finally calculated the result.

"Returning to Your Majesty, son of Huxian County, spent a total of 37 guan and 760 five renminbi in copper coins, and bought 17 nine shi of cooked food horse feed."

Li Wangyou patted his palms lightly a few times: "That's right, all of you, His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness the King of Yue did not make mistakes in their calculations, and they are no different from the records in the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an explosion in the hall, and all the officials didn't care about the etiquette in front of the hall, so the volume suddenly increased, and they were all whispering.

"Master Fang, aren't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Yue talking nonsense? They are only eight or nine years old now, how can they be so powerful?"

"Wei Gong, the old man can't understand it either. Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince is really so smart?" Fang Xuanling shook his head, feeling that today's facts are too unimaginable.

"I think Mr. Huxian taught him well. His Royal Highness is also studying in the Hongwen Library, so he doesn't seem to be very smart, just a middle-aged man."

"Tsk, could it be that Mr. Huxian is really so amazing? Not only is he talented, but he also knows how to teach his disciples. This is really amazing."

At this time, Zhang Liang was as disgusted as eating a fly. He couldn't help but glared at his brother-in-law angrily. They were all this damn bastard. go.

Wang Renyou and Zheng Yuanshou and other bigwigs also looked depressed, losing to Cheng Yaojin really made people feel uncomfortable.

Dai Zhou and other officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs looked as if their jaws dropped in shock.

These ten officials, who are already the best at arithmetic in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, were actually hanged and beaten by two childish children, which is really unimaginable.

As for Li Er and Empress Changsun, they naturally looked surprised.

Li Er wanted to maintain his imperial majesty with a straight face, but he couldn't hide the upturned corners of his mouth.

As for Empress Changsun, if she hadn't been on the main hall and watched by all the officials, she would have rushed down the imperial steps to hug her two precious sons to make out.

After Li Er was pleasantly surprised, he looked at the abacus in front of his son as if he had realized something, and waved to Li Chengqian, signaling him to bring the abacus over...

372 The Great Case

When Li Chengqian saw his father summoning him, he immediately presented a treasure, and trotted to his father with the abacus in hand, offering it with both hands.

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

"Father, it's very simple. Look at this abacus. The top bead represents five, and the bottom bead represents one. The master taught us the formula, one goes up one, one goes down five goes to four, one go nine goes into one..."

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

Li Er quickly figured out the advantages of this thing called "abacus", which is indeed much faster than calculating chips, and the calculation speed of the two cannot be compared in the same breath.

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

The officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs looked at each other in blank dismay. I and others lost to the two children because of this abacus?It's really frustrating and helpless.

Dai Zhou, on the other hand, was not only not annoyed, but showed joy on his face.

"Your Majesty, I have lost. Mr. Huxian is indeed right. The calculation method of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is indeed too inefficient. The abacus made by Mr. Huxian is really ingenious and ingenious. Your Majesty, please agree to let Mr. Huxian Teach the making and usage of the abacus from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and spread the abacus to the whole Tang Dynasty."

Dai Zhou was quite open and aboveboard, he directly conceded defeat, and praised Li Wangyou a lot.

All the officials in the hall are also very interested in this abacus.

Although arithmetic is a small way, most of the officials of the Tang Dynasty are proficient in it. Everyone can use it and need to carry it with them.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty all wore 蹀躞 around their waists.

The so-called 蹀躞 is a multi-functional storage belt, called the 蹀躞 belt.Most of them are made of leather or metal, which have a strong storage function and are worn on the outside of the belt.

Among the hundreds of officials, there are seven items that need to be filled with pouches, knives, whetstones, Qibizhen, Jue, needles, and flints.

The counting bag is a pocket for counting chips.

Now that Hu Xianzi came up with this abacus, it is even more convenient to calculate. Even two young children, the Prince and the King of Yue, were able to win the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs with this thing, which shows how extraordinary it is.

"This abacus is really good!" Li Er praised: "Okay, let's stop here for today. Mr. Huxian, if you teach the Ministry of Civil Affairs how to make that abacus and how to use it, I will reward you... ..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Wangyou suddenly stepped forward and interrupted: "Your Majesty, today's competition has not been completed, I beg your Majesty to continue."

Li Wangyou's words made Li Er slightly startled, not understanding what he meant.

The role of the abacus has been seen by all the officials, and Dai Zhou also bowed his head and admitted defeat.As for the account books of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Li Wangyou has already said just now that the account books are accurate, so why continue to compete?

But Li Er naturally knew that Li Wangyou was not a fool.

He was too lazy to think about what Li Wangyou wanted to do, so he simply nodded: "Since Mr. Huxian still wants to test Chengqian and Qingque, let's continue."

When Li Er said that today's matter ended here, Li Ru thought he had escaped a catastrophe, and just let go of his hanging heart, but when he heard that Li Wangyou wanted to continue, he was so angry that he almost yelled.

What kind of enmity is this? You Huxianzi insist on punishing me to death?

He had forgotten about the killing of the Da'anfang house before, and he didn't even give Dai Zhou any face, just to make Li Wangyou sick.

When the matter came to an end, Li Ru's intestines were green with regret, and wished he could slap himself a few times. What kind of madness did he go to, and he insisted on going against this county?

Now, it's too late to say anything.

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

"Collect, cooked horse feed 180 shi and 36 dou, take, cooked horse feed 470 shi and [-] dou..."

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

After he finished reading, Er Xiaoxiao followed up and reported the amount: "Teacher, a total of 16 nine shi of cooked horse feed has been collected."

The officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs also reported this number: "Return to Your Majesty, son of Hu County, the collection of cooked horse feed is 16 nine stones."

When Li Chengqian, Li Tai and the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs reported this set of numbers one after the other, Li Ru, the doctor of the Ministry of Ministries, turned pale in an instant, and his whole body seemed to have been pulled, and he fell limply to the floor.

But Dai Zhou, who was still smiling with his beard before, suddenly changed his face, turned around and glared fiercely at Li Ru who had already collapsed.

Most of the officials in the hall also reacted.On the two account books of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the number of cooked horse food does not match!

The copper coin account book, the result of the calculation just now, in the four months of the second year of Zhenguan, about 37 copper coins were spent, and about 17 shi were purchased for cooked horse feed.

But in the other corn account book, in four months, the cooked horse feed recorded in the account was only more than 16 shi, a total of more than 6000 shi was missing!

According to the price of one stone of cooked food horse feed, the approximate price is more than 200 yuan per bucket, and the price of two guan for one stone, that is about [-] guan.

In other words, someone embezzled [-] copper coins from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which is not a small amount.What's more, this is only four months in the second year of Zhenguan.

After thinking about the key point, the hall was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop.
