In November of the 11th year of Zhenguan, the Tang Emperor feasted his ministers in the Zhenguan Hall in Luoyang, and at the same time entertained the Quartet.

Li Yuanjia, the Yongzhou Mu who stayed in Chang'an, was naturally absent from this grand banquet - fortunately, the banquet was worthless in this year, Li Shimin always had to hold it every once in a while, and King Han was not very rare.

And when it was near the end of the year, he didn't have the heart to pay attention to the movements in Luoyang.

Because before the first day of the twelfth year of Zhenguan, that is, on the last day of the eleventh year of Zhenguan, the Han Wangfu held the first "year-end summary meeting" in history.

The king of the Tang Dynasty, who was empty because of the extreme boredom of daily life, ordered the housekeeper Han Shan to prepare for this meeting, and insisted that every palace steward attending the meeting should prepare a PPT...... Oh no, prepare a "year-end summary" and speak at the meeting for no less than half a column of incense.

The so-called royal mansion here purely refers to Li Yuanjia's "inner mansion".

To put it bluntly, it is his industry that is summarized, and those who are present are his slaves, not including the officials assigned to him by the imperial court - speaking of which, since returning to Chang'an, the subordinate officials of the Han Wangfu have almost existed in name only, and compared to Luzhou, there is no sense of existence, and they have faded out of Li Yuanjia's sight.

It is this year-end summary, and the tossing palace is very lively.

Now it is the eleventh year of Zhenguan, that is, 637 A.D., not to mention the young stewards who have only read books for one or two years in the palace and can write two or three thousand words, that is, those important ministers in the Tang Dynasty, who will write a year-end summary of this kind of future "Eight Strands"?

Especially the older housekeeper Han Shan, he is going crazy.

Not long ago, in order to meet the requirements of Li Yuanjia's death order, Han Shan pulled down his face and followed his son to learn the Tianzhu number, and after working hard for three months, he barely knew how to use this kind of number to keep accounts. I thought I had survived that difficulty, but I didn't expect the king to come out again at the end of the year!

So on the last day of the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Li Yuanjia, who was extremely bored, finally saw a good show......

"To be honest, I'm disappointed!"

After everyone's year-end summary was over, holding back the urge to laugh, Li Yuanjia tried his best to make his expression look slightly gloomy, and at the same time said lightly: "As the owner of this Han Wangfu, I just want to find out my family background, and then know what you have done and gained in this year......

“……”

One by one, they stood there with their heads bowed, and no one dared to speak.

Originally, I thought it was quite coke, and I wanted to play tricks, but seeing that these people didn't dare to refute it like quails, Li Yuanjia suddenly felt bored as he spoke.

Seeing that he stopped talking, the housekeeper Han Shan gritted his teeth and said: "King, it's not that I'm lazy, it's really that there are a lot of goods in the warehouse, if you want to completely count and understand, it's impossible to have four or five days, your king!" ”

"Hehe, then why don't you usually count it clearly?"

Glaring at Han Shan, Li Yuanjia sneered: "After an inventory, all the daily expenses are recorded, I can ask at any time if there are ready-made results?" ”

“…… Yes, King! ”

Sighing secretly in his heart, Han Shan immediately nodded.

After learning to use Tianzhu numbers to keep accounts and settle accounts, of course he understood that what the king said was indeed not difficult to do. And more importantly, the Tianzhu numbers make every income and expenditure appear clear at a glance, and it is particularly easy to calculate, which can also eliminate the possibility of people in the house reaching out to the greatest extent......

If he knew what Han Shan was thinking at this time, Li Yuanjia would definitely scoff at it.

Not to mention simple Arabic numeral bookkeeping and accounting, that is, when mathematics develops to such a high level in the future, and various financial systems and auditing systems are so perfect, will it be able to stop those who are greedy?

Don't be funny.

However, in this era, when Arabic numerals had just appeared, Li Yuanjia was confident that he could suppress these people for a while. So after Han Shan lowered his head again, he said in a deep voice: "In addition to keeping accounts clearly and understandingly, in the middle of December every year in the future, you should each count the treasury and compare it with the account book......

……

In Li Yuanjia's half-serious and half-joking year-end summary, the last day of Zhenguan's eleventh year passed.

The first month of the twelfth year of Zhenguan came quietly.

As the day when the center of the Tang Dynasty returned to Chang'an was getting closer and closer, Li Yuanjia also paid more and more attention to the news from Luoyang City, and almost every ten years he would look at the news that was sent to him after sorting, so it was easy to know that on the day of the first month, that is, on the fifteenth day of the first month, two major events happened in the court.

One of them is related to Li Yuanjia.

Wei Zheng, the historical mirror, wrote to the emperor, thinking that it was inappropriate for the ministers above the third rank in the court to dismount or get off the car to salute when they met the prince, and the reason was that the status of the princes was the same as that of the three dukes, and the officials above the third rank in the court were all nine and eight, and it was really inappropriate to get off the horse and salute when they saw the prince.

Seeing that the rules for the prince to salute were set by Li Shimin, the emperor was naturally very dissatisfied with this.

The Tang Emperor's idea is very simple, that is, Li Tai and other princes are his own sons and are one of the most noble people in the world, why can you ministers disrespect them? However, the founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty also refused to give in, believing that the princes did not need princes, and there was no reason for the members above the third rank to be respectful......

Anyway, when Li Yuanjia received the news, the officials above the third rank were willing to dismount and say hello when they saw the prince, and there was nothing wrong with them when they didn't see Yang Chang leaving!

The second thing is related to a book.

"Chronicles of the Clan", a work that records the genealogy of the clan, was ordered by the Tang Emperor Li Shimin and compiled by Gao Shilian, the Duke of Xu Guo.

When he saw the news about this book, Li Yuanjia's eyes couldn't help but narrow.

The reason for the compilation of "Clan Chronicles" is the surname of Kanzheng, which is Li Shimin's original words, but as a member of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanjia knows very well that his second brother's purpose is not so simple!

In Li Yuanjia's understanding, this is the emperor's first shot to the gate valve system!

The door valve, if you really want to talk about it, it will be a long time, and it is difficult for Li Yuanjia to say clearly, but the only thing he can say is absolutely certain, that is, as a member of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally stands on the opposite side of the gate valves, and the contradiction can never be reconciled!

Therefore, the appearance of "Clan Chronicles" is essentially closely related to Li Yuanjia.

It's just that whether it is a trivial matter like seeing the prince above the third grade and not worshipping, or a major event like "Clan Chronicles" that can win the world, Li Yuanjia quickly put it aside after reading it. When the sky fell, there was a high top, and he had no reason to worry so much about a small idle king.

Merely......

When he saw a message that seemed to have nothing to do with him, his two pupils suddenly shrank, and his face suddenly changed!
