Chapter Seventy-Four: Desperate San Lang Zhu Biao
In Zhu Biao's eyes, a large piece of paper was drawn by Zhu Yunxi like a chessboard, and then he filled in the blank box with unintelligible symbols, and when it was filled, he wrote and drew on the paper next to him, all of which were also symbols that he couldn't understand.
But in the end, Zhu Yunxi seemed to finish the calculation, and then picked up the account book, and wrote the annotations in the back, this time Zhu Biao finally understood, Zhu Yunxi wrote the general account of the entire account book, such as how much should be paid, how much was earned, how much was spent, where were there any gaps, etc., each article was written in great detail, and the numbers were also clearly listed.
"Yun Xi, this is what you just calculated?" Zhu Biao finally couldn't help but say when he saw this.
Zhu Yunxi, who was concentrating, found that his father was behind him, which made him stand up and salute in a little panic: "Father forgive me, I ...... I'm just doing the math! ”
"Don't be afraid, I just want to know how you calculated just now, why I can't understand it at all, and is your calculation correct?" Zhu Biao asked a few questions in a row.
"Father, don't doubt my arithmetic, this is what Li Banyu taught me, except for Li Banyu, I am the most proficient in the world!" Zhu Yunxi heard his father questioning his ability, and immediately said a little unconvinced.
"What Li Jie taught you?" Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then remembered what Zhu Yunxi had said to him some time ago, which made him surprised again, "I remember, this is the algorithm you said can calculate the treasury accounts?" ”
"Yes, although I haven't studied deeply, I have taken over the accounts of the glass workshop and the clairvoyance workshop, and I have never made a mistake, and my father's accounts here are similar to the accounts of the workshop, it is so easy for me!" Zhu Yunxi also straightened his chest when he said this, with a proud look on his face.
"Really?" Although Zhu Biao didn't say it, he still had some doubts in his heart, so he called four officials who were proficient in accounts and asked them to recalculate the account books that Zhu Yunxi had calculated.
As a result, these four officials spent twice as much time as Zhu Yunxi alone, and in the end, Zhu Biao was a little impatient to wait, so they calculated it.
"Prince Qiyu, His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun is not bad at all, and the ministers admire it!" The four officials presented their calculations to Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao took them and compared them with Zhu Yunxi's results, and they were exactly the same.
"Father should believe it now, right?" Zhu Yunxi was also a little unhappy because of his father's suspicions.
"Haha, it's because my father is wrong, I shouldn't doubt you, but why are you faster than the four of them?" Zhu Biao immediately admitted his mistake, he was not as good-looking as Zhu Yuanzhang, and then asked another question in his heart.
Hearing his father ask about this, Zhu Yunxi once again showed a smug expression and said: "This is the subtlety of the arithmetic I have learned, it is not only simple and convenient, but also faster to calculate, especially in the accounts, if you follow my method to keep accounts, the entire account is clear at a glance, even if you want to review, it is much faster than now!" ”
Zhu Biao had no doubts about his son's words at this time, and immediately said with a happy face: "Li Jie is really a capable person, Yunxi, you can teach us this method quickly, so that we can also settle the accounts as soon as possible!" ”
"Now?" Zhu Yunxi looked embarrassed when he heard this, "Father doesn't know, although this algorithm is simple and easy to learn, it is not something that can be learned in a while, and if you and these officials master the new algorithm, I am afraid it will take at least three or four days." ”
"Three or four days?" Zhu Biao also showed a disappointed look when he heard this, he is now racing against time to settle the accounts as soon as possible, in order to stop his father before he starts to kill, if the time is delayed for too long, I am afraid it will be too late.
"By the way, there are some servants in the Glass Workshop and the Claireye Workshop who have learned new algorithms from me, and if my father transfers them, I can command them to sort out the accounts as soon as possible." Zhu Yunxi suddenly opened his mouth and proposed at this time.
There are also hundreds of people in the two workshops, and the accounts in and out are very complicated, and Zhu Yunxi alone will definitely not be able to manage so many accounts, so Li Jie also assigned some scribes to Zhu Yunxi, and by the way, let him also learn management.
"Great, summon them to the palace immediately!" Zhu Biao was also overjoyed when he heard this, and ordered.
"Now?" Zhu Yunxi also looked out of the dark window in surprise when he heard this, those scribes had been busy all day, and they probably had just returned home, so they were called over to help now, it was a little too unkind, right?
"The matter is urgent, and I can only let them work hard, but I won't let them work in vain, and there will be a heavy reward in the future!" Although Zhu Biao has a generous personality, he is not a good person, in fact, a person who dares to force his father to give in to death, he will never hesitate when he should be tough.
Seeing his father's insistence, Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to agree, and immediately ordered someone to summon those scribes under him into the palace, although there was a curfew in the capital, as long as he held the token in the palace, he could pass unimpeded.
Li Jie didn't know anything about the above things, and as soon as he entered the palace the next day, he was called to Wenhua Hall by Zhu Biao, and when he saw the situation in the palace, he was also shocked.
I saw that the hall was full of account books, a group of unkempt officials performed their duties, lying on the table and writing and calculating, Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunxi's father and son were sitting together, and they were also writing something, and even the sharp-eyed Li Jie saw a lot of bedding piled up around the hall, and a few elderly officials were lying on the ground, snoring.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Prince, what are you ......" Li Jie also turned his head and looked around when he said this, the situation in the main hall is really too weird, if it is placed in the workshop of the Ordnance Bureau, it is very common, but in a place like Wenhua Palace, it is too unimaginable.
"Li Jie, come on, help me see this number, right?" Zhu Biao looked up and saw Li Jie, and immediately beckoned to him.
Only then did Li Jie realize that Zhu Biao's eyes were red, and he looked like he hadn't woken up.
"Li Banyu, you're here too!" At this time, Zhu Yunxi also rubbed his eyes and showed him a tired smile, and he didn't seem to have much energy.
"Your Highness, what are you ......" Li Jie said and stepped forward, and when he saw the account book in Zhu Biao's hand, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Settle accounts?" ”
"Yes, my father asked me to count my money, I want to figure it out as soon as possible." Zhu Biao suddenly yawned when he said this, looking extremely tired, and then said to Li Jie again, "Fortunately, the new algorithm you taught Yun Xi has accelerated our counting progress several times, just when you came, don't go to class, help us settle the accounts together." ”
"The minister obeys, but doesn't His Highness really need to take a break?" Li Jie was still a little worried in the end, Zhu Biao's health is not very good, he died of illness in history, in case he is tired now, Zhu Yuanzhang is afraid that he will go crazy again.
"I didn't ...... It's okay, I'll just squint on the table for a while. Zhu Biao couldn't open his eyes when he and Li Jie spoke, and after speaking, they lay on the table, and then the snoring sounded.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi, who was next to him, immediately stood up and hugged the bed quilt, and then gently covered his father, Li Jie saw that he was also a little tired, so he asked again: "Imperial grandson, do you want to go to sleep for a while?" ”
"No, I slept last night, and now I've just woken up, and I'll be refreshed later." Zhu Yunxi also replied with a somewhat weak smile, he also stayed up until the second half of the night yesterday, and finally couldn't stay up until he went to rest, and now he still feels sore all over his body, and his brain is also groggy.
Li Jie was also a little speechless when he heard this, but he was just counting the accounts of the inner money, Zhu Biao was too desperate, and he also pulled his son to stay up all night together, this is really enough to be a father.
At the moment, Li Jie took over Zhu Biao's affairs, and Zhu Yunxi also introduced him to the places that need attention, after all, Li Jie only joined in halfway, and there must be some places that he is not familiar with, but the accounts are all the same, and Li Jie also got started quickly.
In the next three days and three nights, Li Jie and they ate and drank Lazar in the Wenhua Palace, and only when they were tired and couldn't stand it anymore, they would sleep casually on the floor for a while, and continue to settle accounts when they woke up.
With Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunxi's father and son taking the lead, the officials below did not dare to have any complaints, not to mention that Zhu Biao also promised a heavy reward, so these officials also worked hard, there was an old official, and he was even tired and sick, but he still refused to leave, and finally was forcibly taken away by the imperial doctor and sent him home to recuperate.
On the morning of the fourth day, all the accounts were counted, and finally summarized here in Zhu Biao, and Li Jie and Zhu Yunxi helped him sort it out, which made Zhu Biao also shout ecstatically: "It's done, Father, your calculation is going to fail!" ”
Zhu Biao said and grabbed the general account, stood up and was about to leave, but just after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped again, and then turned his head to Zhu Yunxi and Li Jie and said, "You two follow me, let's go to see my father together!" ”
