In the Xuanzheng Palace, Li Shimin, as usual, continued to sit on the warm soft collapse and read the folds.

Whale oil candles with the thickness of the forearm were distributed throughout the temple, shining like day.

Since he learned that a whale can make more than 100,000 candles, Li Shimin no longer has any intention of saving.

"Father! Worked it out! Father! I've figured it out! ”

Just when Li Shimin was looking at a notebook intently, Li Zhi hurriedly ran in with a ledger.

If other people dared to break in like this while they were busy with political affairs, Li Shimin would inevitably be furious.

Of course, if it were someone else, it probably wouldn't have a chance to break in.

Is it true that Li Zhong's gang eats dry rice?

"Oh, pheasant slave, what have you figured out!"

Li Shimin glanced up disapprenorantly, and then continued to work.

Although he knew what Li Zhi was busy with in the past two days, Li Shimin didn't think that there would be any results now.

"Father, the son has counted this year's tax data, look at it." Li Zhi excitedly handed the account book in his hand to Li Shimin.

However, what disappointed him was that Li Shimin did not have any surprised or surprised expression, let alone praise and praise, but said very coldly: "Put it here, and when I am done, I will take a look when I have time." ”

"Father, aren't you in a hurry to let the household department count the data? Erchen didn't sleep until late last night, and now his hands are sore, why aren't you curious about this year's tax data? ”

After all, Li Zhi's mind was still relatively simple, and he didn't understand the meaning behind Li Shimin's attitude.

However, seeing the aggrieved look of his beloved son, Li Shimin couldn't help but show a kind smile, "Since it is the result of such hard calculations by the childish slave, then I will take a look at it first." ”

As Li Shimin spoke, he took the account book from Li Zhi's hand.

"Father, the last page is the result of statistics, and the front is the specific situation of various cotton materials."

Li Zhi leaned on the table next to Li Shimin, and told Li Shimin with a happy face how to look at this account book.

"One thousand five hundred fifty three thousand two hundred and sixteen?" Li Shimin frowned, feeling that the data in front of him was not reliable at all.

This data is nonsense, right?

Although Li Shimin doesn't know the exact data on how much Datang will pay this year, there is still a guess about the approximate range.

Last year's tax payment was only about 13 million yuan, how can it be that it has increased by more than 20% in a year?

If there is such a growth rate, wouldn't it be that in a few years, the income of the imperial court will be doubled?

It's so unreliable!

It's completely inconsistent with my own perception.

"Yes, Father. I've calculated this data, and there's no problem, that's all. ”

Li Zhi looked like he was begging for praise, and his eyes looked at Li Shimin without turning.

"Childish slave, it's not my father who wants to talk about you, whether you are a person or a worker, you must not be ambitious, otherwise you will achieve nothing. You are the King of Jin of the Tang Dynasty, and your every move represents the image of the royal family. I heard from the elementary school that you have not yet completed the "Book of Shang", and the "Analects" is also half-understood, even if it is the arithmetic that you have always liked......"

Li Shimin's words directly confused Li Zhi, so that Li Zhi had no impression of what Li Shimin said later.

Li Zhi left the Xuanzheng Hall in despair, leaving Li Shimin to continue to be busy there.

……

The arrival of Zhenguan ten years can be described as quiet.

Seeing that it was already the fifth day of the first lunar month, Li Shimin had not yet received the data from the household department, so he couldn't help but summon Dai Zhou into the palace again.

"Dai Aiqing, when will the household department be able to take out the data?"

"Your Majesty, it's coming soon, it should be able to come out tomorrow, in fact, the preliminary data has been calculated yesterday, but the son-in-law is still calculating whether there is a statistical error, because the data this time seems to be a little strange."

Dai Xuan was a little unconfident in his heart and answered Li Shimin's question.

In previous years, when the tax data was counted at the end of each year, Dai Guan's biggest worry was that the data calculated by each group did not match, and he didn't know which one was accurate.

However, troubles have changed this year.

The data calculated by the two groups are very close, but Dai Zhou feels that both groups of them have miscalculated.

Is this possible?

Absolutely!

This has not been the case in previous years.

Therefore, even if Dai Xuan knew that Li Shimin was very anxious to know the result, he didn't dare to enter the palace in a hurry to report.

"The data is a bit weird? Why would Aiqing say that? ”

"Your Majesty, the annual tax payment is generally fixed, and the results of the household statistics are basically in line with this logic. But this year's data makes people feel a bit unusually high, which is not very logical! But Your Majesty, don't worry, Wechen has already arranged for someone to check, and he will definitely be able to give His Majesty an answer tomorrow. ”

Hearing Dai Xuan say this, Li Shimin's appetite was even more suspended.

"The numbers are on the high side? How much higher? ”

Dai Xuan saw that Li Shimin had to hear the results now, and he was also unconfident for a while.

"Your Majesty, the current two sets of data are 15.51 million yuan and 15.34 million yuan respectively, which is 20% more than last year. Wechen thought that there might be a possibility that they might double-count some data, so they arranged for them to recalculate together. ”

Hearing the two sets of data coming out of Dai Guan's mouth, Li Shimin felt familiar.

Suddenly, Li Shimin lowered his head and rummaged through the table.

Dai Xuan was a little confused about the situation, he didn't go, he didn't go, he didn't go.

"Found it, it's him." Li Shimin turned to the last page as he spoke: 15,432,216 Guan, and there was a special note with the Arabic numerals next to it.

"Dai Aiqing, you repeat, what is the data counted by the household department?"

"Fifteen million and five hundred and fifty thousand hundred and fifty thousand thousand."

Although Dai Xuan couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Li Shimin's gourd, as the head of the household, his professionalism was still very high.

Although it is only the first version, he still remembers the tax data that Li Shimin is particularly concerned about.

"Dai Aiqing, look at this ledger."

Li Shimin handed the account book in his hand to Dai Zhou with a strange face.

Dai Zhou looked at Li Shimin and felt a little dizzy.

What's going on?

However, although he didn't know the situation, Dai Zhou reflexively took the account book handed over by Li Shimin.

"One thousand five hundred fifty three thousand two hundred and sixteen?" The first thing that catches your eye is a somewhat familiar and somewhat unfamiliar piece of data.

"Your Majesty, where did this data come from?"
