In the office room of Cheng Dian Prison, after Wang Hao completed the registration and handover of the prisoners he was waiting to take away, he did not leave, but continued to stay in the office of Cheng Dian Prison and stayed for about half an hour before leaving.

Staying in the office room of Cheng Dian Prison, Wang Hao naturally did not chat with Cheng Dian Prison, but had important things to do, and on all the books handed over to him by Cheng Dian Prison, from front to back, in the order of each prisoner who took them away, after the name of each prisoner, a few numbers were made in the form of numbers.

Wang Hao's numerical marking, using Arabic numerals from "0001" to "5352", if the more than 5,000 prisoners were numbered according to the traditional Chinese counting method at that time, I am afraid that it would not take a day of hard work to complete it smoothly.

"Wang Sicheng, what are you writing here?" Driven by curiosity, Cheng Dian waited until Wang Hao finished writing the number of the prisoner on the register, and then he couldn't wait to ask.

Wang Hao, who had finished the numbering, looked up and found that the Cheng Dian Prison who came to his side looked like he had entered the age of not being confused, but at this moment, like a curious baby, he was staring at the number made of Arabic numerals behind the prisoner's name, and his eyes were full of puzzlement.

After putting down a special "carbon pencil" he had specially taken from the Street Division, Wang Hao answered his questions in a hurry: "Cheng Dian Prison, I used Arabic numerals to make a number for each of them after the name of each prisoner who was to be taken away.

"This Arabic numeral is not the text of our Great Song Dynasty, but is used among those Arabs who come to our Great Song Dynasty to do business. In the past, as a clerk of the Municipal Division, I often met Arabs who were doing business in Tokyo, and I learned from them that this very simple way of counting came in handy today. ”

Cheng Dianjiao was still ignorant of Wang Hao's answer, and he continued to ask: "Wang Sicheng, the lower officials still don't understand, why do you want to write a number with Arabic numerals after the names of the prisoners who are about to be taken away?" What is the purpose of this? It was the first time for Xia Guan to see it, and he felt very curious, and hoped that Wang Sicheng would not be strange. ”

After listening to Cheng Dian Prison's questioning, Wang Hao thought that when he waited for the next prisoner, he still needed Cheng Dian Prison's assistance and cooperation, so he had to patiently continue to explain: "Cheng Dian Prison, Wang feels that if you take more than 5,000 prisoners away from this Kaifeng Mansion prison under your jurisdiction, it will definitely not be easy to manage outside.

"That is, each of these prisoners who were taken away was numbered. After leaving the Kaifeng Mansion Prison, he tried his best not to call them by their names, but to call each of them by their corresponding number. In particular, in the area of command and management, it will certainly greatly improve the efficiency of work. ”

Even if Wang Hao made a more detailed explanation, Cheng Dianjiao was still at a loss at this time, and felt that the purpose of Wang Hao's action was still not clear enough, but he felt a little novel.

Next, with the cooperation and assistance of Cheng Dian Prison, Wang Hao invited the prisoners to the gate of Kaifeng Mansion Prison one by one according to the order of the prisoners' names on the book.

When Wang Hao instructed a street priest who could read and hyphenate to read the name of a prisoner, and the prisoner, who was wearing shackles on his hands and feet, walked out of the door of the Kaifeng Mansion prison, he took a huge brush, dipped it in the white paint bucket a few times, and wrote down the number corresponding to Arabic numerals on the prisoner's prison uniform behind the prisoner.

You must know that today, Wang Hao wanted to take away more than 5,000 prisoners from the Kaifeng Mansion Prison, and it took three hours to wait until Shen Shixu in the afternoon to finally finish his busy work.

Fortunately, Wang Hao came to Kaifeng Mansion to raise people from the prison this time, and with more than 100 guards of the Street Division, he sent 20 soldiers of the Street Division to escort them to the designated place along Liangmen Street according to a team of 100 prisoners.

Even in this way, Wang Hao felt that the manpower on hand was insufficient, so he hurriedly recruited 500 guards from the Street Division in batches to come to support, and in the way that 20 guards accompanied 100 prisoners, along Liangmen Street, every three to five miles, as a designated temporary resting place.

Due to the implementation of new traffic regulations in Tokyo, Ryomondo Street, one of the main thoroughfares in Tokyo, has become orderly for both pedestrians and vehicles.

Batches of prisoners who were brought out by Wang Hao from the Kaifeng Mansion Prison naturally walked on the right, walking on the far right side of Liangmen Street, still in an orderly manner, if these prisoners took off the prison clothes they were wearing, the pedestrians on Liangmen Street would mistakenly think that they were soldiers.

In this compartment, Wang Hao did not take all the more than 5,000 prisoners registered in the register from the Kaifeng Mansion prison until the evening, and after numbering them one by one.

Over there, in the Funing Palace, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, Empress Cao, Miao Guifei and Princess Zhao Huiruo of Fukang, their family of four got together for dinner after many days.

Before the dinner was served, the family of four had already sat down at the imperial table, and Zhao Zhen, Song Renzong, who was sitting on the main seat, said the opening remarks very rarely: "Cao Niangzi, Miao Niangzi, Ruo'er, I'll give you a poem later, can you three comment on it?" ”

As soon as Song Renzong Zhao Zhen's question fell, Empress Cao, Miao Guifei and Zhao Huiruo immediately replied in unison: "Huh." ”

Subsequently, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen opened his mouth and recited: "Life is a masterpiece, and death is also a ghost." So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. Let's talk about it, is this poem a good work? ”

Empress Cao first looked at Miao Guifei and Zhao Huiruo a few times, and then took the lead in commenting: "Official, this poem is to praise and remember Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, this poem is easy to understand and catchy, and it has a special meaning to read!" ”

Miao Guifei also immediately echoed: "What my sister said is extremely true, the overlord of Chu fought with Liu Bang for the world at the end of Qin, and originally occupied a favorable position, but because of his courage and lack of strategy, he was finally besieged by Liu Bang in an ambush on all sides in the land of Qixia, and he regretted his death by killing himself in Wujiang, which is a pity!" ”

Zhao Huiruo did not answer her father's question, but asked directly: "Daddy, do you want to ask the sage (Empress Cao) and sister (Miao Niangzi), and me next, who wrote this poem?" ”

Faced with his daughter's rhetorical question, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, and replied: "Ruo'er, do you know who wrote this poem?" ”

"Who else can there be, this poem is written by Wang Hao, the street secretary, who is a vassal and elegant person." Zhao Huiruo replied disapprehantly.
