The third prince Mu Jinming has been living in the palace since he was still young, and he has been living in the palace as a minor, and he will only leave the palace to have his own prince's mansion after the prince gets married.

As soon as Mu Jinming entered the household department, he was confused by a large pile of account books, since Zuo Wei was brought to justice, the position of the household department was so empty, which made some officials in the household department think of taking a step closer. It is normal for people to climb up, who is not willing to be in a high position, Mu Jinming was thrown to the household department at such a moment, naturally some people will look at him unpleasantly, and secretly think about the emperor's intentions in their hearts, I am afraid that the third prince is here to occupy the position, and sit on the position of the household secretary in one fell swoop, and the officials of the household department are not convinced, and it is difficult for a boy who has not grown up to be able to convince the public, let alone a higher position.

Therefore, Mu Jinming has been in the trouble of the officials of the household department who have spared no effort to tailor it for him, painful and happy, there are too many account books in front of him, and he estimates that those people have moved the account books from several years ago, this is to see the rhythm of his jokes. It's really helpless, since he has to stride forward even if he goes to Daoshan Mountain, there is no possibility of retreating, and he will never be underestimated.

In the account books, he saw a list of the belongings of the mansion confiscated in recent days, which needed to be verified again before they could be returned to the treasury.

Mu Jinming fought every day and night, and he worked hard for three days before the account book in front of him went down to a third, and he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and the blue and black stains that came out of his eyes didn't know how long he would have to endure before he could rest. It's too tiring and difficult to have no one to help, and it's hard for me to find my father and ask for two people to take advantage of, so I can only grit my teeth and endure it.

"What's wrong?" Once I was startled when I saw Mu Jinming's appearance, and the blue and black under my eyes showed the result of the owner's failure to sleep enough.

"It's nothing, it's a hassle in the household." Mu Jinming pinched the bridge of his nose to relieve the swelling and discomfort of his eyes, and didn't hide what he was doing these days.

"When are the account books?" Raised eyebrows slightly asked.

"A lot, most of the account books of the household department are estimated to be with me." If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get angry, Mu Jinming would have no need to swallow his anger until now. Directly give two slaps in the face of the household officials and keep them at the mercy of the dispatch, how can they let the household department toss themselves in one go.

"Check it out." After pulling Mu Jinming, he left, first to see what the situation was, and whether he could help a little.

Mu Jinming did not refuse. led to his small study, and as soon as he entered the door, on the table and on the ground, a pile of account books instantly rushed into view.

The brows were slightly tightened, so many account books were going to see when it was a head, "Why don't you directly transfer people from the household department to settle the account?" ”

"Now because of my visit, the household department has abandoned their previous suspicions and joined together, and it is absolutely impossible to transfer people." Mu Jinming was very helpless, he tried and others didn't listen to him, what can he do if he can't use his father to oppress people, so what do you have to do with yourself, even if these are successful, next time. What will others think of themselves, if you want to convince others, you have to come up with some means, so that those people will no longer dare to be presumptuous.

I took an account book and flipped through it casually, the contents of which were disorganized, and some of them were empty. You need to check the previous account books, and you can find it for a long time just by looking for it, so it's no wonder that you only read less than a third.

"Father didn't say that he wouldn't let you use people." I understand my father's intentions the most, "Find a few to help you." As he spoke, he called Hong Ming.

"Master." Hong Ming saluted the two and stood aside to listen to the instructions.

"Find six people to come over, and I'm going to take a look at the accounts." While thinking about it, he said: "Is there a suitable candidate among the dark guards, pick out a few." You can look for the rest. "She likes to use secret guards the most, one is loyalty and the other is insurance, she will not leak the news, and those who can work hard.

"Slave and maid, let's do it." Hong Ming responded, turned around and went out, I have to find Gonggong Li for this matter. Gonggong Li has been in charge of the secret guard for many years, and it is not easy to pick people.

After a while, Hong Ming brought people over, and the one who walked through the front gate was Hong Ming plus two little eunuchs, and the remaining four were secret guards, who could turn the window. In the upper room, the abacus, paper and pen to be used are also prepared.

A large stack of account books was handed over to the six people in order according to the time period, and the rest of her and Mu Jinming were separated in half.

After a while, the room was filled with the sound of crackling abacus beads and the rustle of turning pages, and everyone focused on their thick book.

Without an abacus, just use paper and pen, and the speed of turning over the window account book is from slow to fast, and in the blink of an eye, the account book in front of you goes down to one-third.

Mu Jinming looked up from an account book and put down his pen, rubbed his sore head, turned to look at his side, only to look at him very surprised, pointed to the small stack of account books and asked, "This is after reading?" The words were full of disbelief.

"Hmm." replied, and his subordinates' eyes didn't stop, the book in front of him had turned to the last page, and it was about to be finished.

Mu Jinming looked at the things written down curiously, didn't know any of them, and stood aside and waited for a book to be read before speaking.

"What is this written about?" I've never seen it before, Mu Jinming looked at the things on the paper, and he couldn't see the name when he looked left and right.

"Numbers." Arabic numerals are included in the basic common sense, and the calculation is easy for her.

"Numbers, what's that?" Mu Jinming has a good memory, and he hasn't learned the 'number' thing, but there must be a reason why he can read the account books so quickly, and maybe he can solve his urgent needs.

took a blank piece of paper and wrote one, two, three, four and the corresponding numbers on it, and demonstrated the algorithm she used, in fact, she didn't think it was very usual.

"It's really quick to write like that." For the first time, Mu Jinming felt that it was so easy to settle accounts.

So with Arabic numerals and multiplication formulas, in one fell swoop to solve the problem of accounting, help the six people have a good memory, as long as you remember to use it a few more times to be able to use it skillfully, the sound of the abacus is immediately reduced, and the accounting is brisk and labor-saving.

It took an afternoon to count all the account books, and there were a few unclear accounts in each person's hands, which needed to be further verified.

"Xi'er, you've helped me a lot." Mu Jinming looked at the clearly settled account book in front of him and smiled, thanks to what he encountered, otherwise he would be ready to fight hard again and again.

Mu Jinming didn't ask where this simple algorithm came from, he was used to the occasional whim, or from an ancient book that lacked words and pages, and sometimes he would say it to verify it, and take its essence to remove its dross.

With such a good algorithm, Mu Jinming thought of promoting it across the country, but now is not the time. The eldest prince is watching the implementation of the new policy from the sidelines, and no one will necessarily buy it, and the resistance will be great, and the father is now focused on paving the way for himself, how can he have spare time to implement the new order. We can only wait until the dust settles.

"The hour is getting late. I went back. "Get up and leave," Huang Shi rested. He pointed to the blue and black under Mu Jinming's eyes.

"Well, I'll make it back." Not only sleep, but also those household officials who targeted him, all had to be returned, Mu Jinming immediately remembered something again, and asked, "Did my father say that you should go on an errand?" ”

"Nope." "There are no vacancies right now. "It's not appropriate to squeeze out anyone, anyway, she is not idle, watching the music all day long.

"If only you come to the household department to help me." Mu Jinming extremely hopes that he can have such a left and right hand by his side, and it will be easier to do things.

"Probably not." With his father's education method for Mu Jinming. I won't let myself help.,Understand the purpose of my brother's being thrown into the household.。

"You're right." Mu Jinming looked a little depressed.

After sending him away, Mu Jinming went directly to the imperial study and explained some mistakes and omissions in his management of the household department, especially the unknown loans and vague whereabouts of the money in the account books. In the end, he focused on explaining that his little sister was smart and clever, and she helped me a lot.

Listening to the words of the youngest son praising the youngest daughter, Mu Haoyu said angrily: "You will pick people when you arrive, and you will not choose anything else." ”

was laughed and scolded by his father for no reason, Mu Jinming didn't feel embarrassed, what could his family not say, "That." Isn't it ......"

"Nope." Without waiting for the youngest son to finish speaking, Mu Haoyu immediately objected: "Chao'er has something she has to do, and the two of them have arrived at the household department, you will have a bad time." ”

Mu Jinming pursed his lips and secretly slandered himself, saying that it was good, and the father didn't still catch the little sister as a strong man and help deal with the twists and turns. In fact, it's not all the same as yourself.

Mu Haoyu watched his youngest son change his face in amusement, and chuckled, "Hugh is talking bad about his father behind his back." ”

"Nothing." Mu Jin didn't admit it to death, whoever recognized it was stupid.

"Do things with heart." Mu Haoyu reminded his youngest son, "The household is intertwined. If you want to control it in your hands, it depends on how you do it, think more about things, guard against arrogance and rashness, and be patient in a hurry, when you can't bear it, the knife is more powerful than your mouth. ”

"Yes, son." Mu Jin said with a straight face: "The son will not disappoint his father. ”

"Father will wait and see." Mu Haoyu smiled and patted his youngest son's shoulder in affirmation.

"Where does Father plan to put Xi'er?" Mu Jinming has always been curious about this.

"It depends on where Chao'er chooses." His youngest daughter has always had her own ideas, and as a father, Mu Haoyu is unwilling to interfere too much.

"If you want to gain a foothold in the DPRK and China, you must first hold on to your life." Mu Jinming expressed his thoughts, "Money and power are the foundation of a country, and the sons and daughters have now entered the household department, and the power is only the military power." ”

"It's gratifying that you understand this." Mu Haoyu became more and more satisfied with his youngest son's ability to show Xiàn, "My father also thought about letting Chao'er take charge of the military power, but the military power is not so easy to get, it is difficult to stand firm in the army without military merits, and it is even more difficult to make the generals obey, so it is more difficult than your situation in the household department." He didn't want his little daughter to suffer, he would rather put his little daughter under his wings to protect and spoil her than see his little daughter stained with blood.

It's too late, if I had been careful, I wouldn't have been poisoned, and it was a blessing to be able to drag on for two years, Mu Haoyu had to let go of the hand holding her little daughter, let her face the hardships and hardships alone, and sometimes she would resent herself, her own children should have grown up happily under her own support, but now she has to face the sinister calculations outside.

"Xi'er should have been well early, otherwise he wouldn't have dismantled the eighteen guards and sent them to the border to join the army." Mu Jinming sometimes has to admire his sister for being far-sighted and prescient.

Mu Haoyu nodded in agreement with the younger son's statement, his feelings were very keen, which was incomparable to the younger son, probably because of the girl, maybe the younger son would also become sharp under more training, and his control of things was not bad. He is looking forward to the growth of his youngest son.

Mu Jinming also didn't want to make any more concessions, she had missed too much for everyone, and he cherished this sister no less than his father.

"Look at Chao'er's choice." Mu Haoyu no longer mentioned heavy topics, and turned to other things.

Mu Jinming frowned at some point, and he didn't stretch because he ended the topic, he was really worried about the choice.

When she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she didn't know that her father and brother were worried about her.

Ouyang Lin is still in the Cold War period since he quarreled with Princess Hening, Ouyang Lin will never compromise this time, and like Princess Ning, he will not admit defeat, neither of them will pay attention to anyone, but the one who suffers has become the subordinate of the house.

Princess Hening held back the fire in her stomach and had nowhere to vent, and the maid ring who served her was unlucky, and the tossing people who changed the law were either too hot or too cold, and they didn't beat or scold, so they tossed like this, and they had to let the girl ring change to the fifth or sixth power entrance with a cup of tea.

This has been the case for several days, and the people are all flesh and blood living people, how can they withstand such a bad abuse by Princess Hening, and they are afraid that they will be tortured again, and they dare not sue others, so they can only hide in a place where no one is and cry secretly.

The grandmother beside Princess Hening persuaded her, and all the good things were said, but the princess just didn't listen to what you could do, so in desperation, the princess would come by her temperament, and she would toss the girl, and if she didn't scold or punish, she wouldn't say anything unfavorable to the princess.

Mama wants to persuade the princess to put down her body and say a few good words to get back together with the concubine, the princess is stubborn, no matter what you say, you just don't listen, you have to twist this strength, only the concubine begs for her share, how can there be a reason for the princess to coax a man.

Mama was about to say that she was about to break her mouth, and the princess didn't react at all, so she had no choice but to drag it like this, and she couldn't help but complain about the horses, isn't it just a quarrel between the young husband and wife, and as for snubbing people until now, it's too mindless.

Ouyang Ye, who is the prime minister and father, couldn't stand it anymore, and called Ouyang Lin to reprimand him, "Do things in a measured way and grasp a scale, always let me worry about the backyard for you, there can be no second Zuo Zhen in the house!" ”

"Dad, I can't take care of coaxing the princess with something at hand, and besides, those words came to the Prime Minister's Mansion at that time, and if we let it go, everyone in the mansion will know that we don't pay attention to the Wing King, and it will be too late to remedy it by then." was known by outsiders and didn't know how many things were going to happen, Ouyang Lin's idea at that time was to be a brother's doing.

"That's it, I don't want to hear this, you can handle it yourself." Ouyang Ye was really tired, his heart was too tired, and his eyes were full of fatigue.

"Dad, is there any misunderstanding between you and the Winged King?" Ouyang Lin has been glancing at these words in his heart for a long time, and today he just took advantage of this empty question to make it clear.

"What?" Ouyang Ye was surprised, how could Ouyang Lin ask this?

"Since the Winged King returned home, I have never seen the Winged King come to visit my father." Even if the daughter should put filial piety first, the identity of the wing king is all for outsiders to see, why is it still the same when he returns home, and the father-daughter discord is spread from time to time outside, which makes Ouyang Lin feel very strange.

"You shouldn't focus on the Winged King." Ouyang Ye had a big head at the mention of the Wing King, and he didn't want his son to be contaminated with the Wing King at all.

It's not the first time that this kind of answer has been given, and Ouyang Lin doesn't understand why his father doesn't want to say more every time he mentions the matter of the Wing King.
