Chapter 294: False Accounts of the Household Department
Han Shilang moved the country's taxes, and it may be more than Bozhou and other three states, which is a big crime of stealing the family and exterminating the family.
But what Tang Ning didn't expect was that since Fang Zhe had already seen this, he only needed to go to the imperial court and send the imperial historian to check the accounts of the three states of Bozhou, wouldn't the truth be revealed?
Even if Han Shilang has already colluded with several states, but the taxes are layered up, and it is impossible for them to arrange everything, and if they continue to check layer by layer, there will always be a day when they are found.
In any case, there was no need for him to talk to himself about it.
Fang Zhe closed the account book and said casually: "Are you thinking, since I already know about Han Shilang's embezzlement of taxes, why don't I report it directly to the imperial court, but tell you?" ”
“……”
It's actually very uncomfortable to communicate with Fang Zhe, he always stands from God's point of view, and this position is usually Tang Ning himself.
Fang Zhe didn't wait for him to answer, so he spoke again: "The account of the household department can't find anything, if you want to investigate this matter thoroughly, you must send people to the three prefectures of Bozhou, which will take a long time, it is full of variables, and if you are not careful, your efforts will be wasted." ”
Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "But Fang Shilang still hasn't explained, why did you tell me about this matter?" ”
Fang Zhe said: "I need a way that will not startle the snake and be quiet, and find out the account problems of the household department." ”
Downing asked, "For example?" ”
Fang Zhe said: "The accounts of the household department are fake, and someone has done something in them. ”
The accounts of the household department are running accounts, only numbers, no ins and outs, the degree branch is to do the calculation work, if you want to check the accounts, to see if there are any officials who deduct taxes and commit corruption, you can not see it only by the accounts of the household department, you need to trace back to the source, find out the source of each payment, this is an extremely huge work, time-consuming and laborious, perhaps in the case of the imperial court has not yet deployed, the other party has already prepared, kill people and destroy evidence......
Unless it is not audited, it can be seen from the account books of the household department that someone has done something, and the tax figures of the three states of Bozhou are not so convincing.
Fortunately, Fang Zhe didn't see it, otherwise, Tang Ning would have wondered if he had also crossed over from a future era.
Tang Ning nodded and said, "Some accounts are indeed fake accounts. ”
Although he has evidence that someone in the household department is making false accounts, this matter is too widespread, and the game between the big guy and the big guy, before he becomes the big guy, it is better to stand aside and watch the excitement.
Fang Zhe looked at him and asked with interest, "How did you see it?" ”
Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Master Fang thinks that among all the account data, the number that is the first is one, and what percentage of the total data is one?" ”
"Of all the numbers, the first place is nothing more than one to nine, and according to common sense, the first place is one, and it should account for more than one percent." Fang Zhe pondered for a moment, looked at him, and said, "I'm afraid the facts can't be according to common sense, right?" ”
Tang Ning said: "If Lord Fang can trust his own account office, he can use this method to count the Fang family's account books, and if there are more than 1,000 account data, you will know the result." ”
"It doesn't have to be that way." Fang Zhe shook his head and said: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven in Gyeonggi Province, there is an imperial history accompanying him every year for taxation, and there will be no problems with the accounts, just try it with the account books of Gyeonggi Province." ”
Fang Zhe casually opened the account book in his hand, this account book has twenty articles per page, after he turned a few pages, he closed it and muttered: "Take a hundred accounts, the first one is one, it accounts for more than thirty percent, which is three times as much as common sense speculates, why is this so?" ”
Downing also did not know the underlying reason for Ben Foter's law, he only knew that in a bunch of data derived from real life, the probability of the occurrence of a number with one as the first number was about 30% of the total, close to three times the expected value of one in nine, which is also known as the law of the first number.
This law of numbers is often used in the field of economics in later generations, through which it is possible to identify digital fraud, and there have been many false financial reports of listed companies in later generations, which are planted on this law.
Although this law seems to be counter-intuitive and anti-human, it does exist and has been verified under big data, science is sometimes so unreasonable and unintuitive, for example, who else in Chen Guo would have thought that the big stones and small stones thrown down at the same height would actually fall at the same speed......
"Intuition is not always right, and those who make false accounts are only because they trust their intuition too much to make such a loophole." Tang Ning looked at him and said, "Lord Fang can verify more." ”
Fang Zhe nodded, his eyes flashed with different colors, and said: "You are so careful, you can detect what ordinary people can't see, you are really a demon." ”
Tang Ning secretly sighed in his heart, what kind of face did Fang Zhe have to say that others were demons, he himself was just relying on the experience and knowledge of later generations, Fang Zhe himself was the demon of demons, the beast of beasts.
If this kind of person is a yin person, the other party is afraid that he will not even know how to die.
Fang Xiaoyue is such a pure and flawless little girl, how can she have such a father, the family is unfortunate, the family is unlucky......
Fang Zhe wanted to stay in the household department to check whether the first law of numbers was correct or not, but Tang Ning didn't have time to stay with him.
It's been a while, and if they don't go back, they should be in a hurry.
There were still some officials in the household department who didn't go back, and watched Tang Ning open the door and walk out from a distance, with a look of surprise on their faces.
Just now, seeing that Fang Shilang summoned Master Tang in, they deliberately stayed in the household department for a while, just to see the excitement, after all, the grievances between the two of them, everyone in the household department knows it, and everyone has been waiting for this excitement for a long time.
The imaginary brawl didn't happen, Chief Tang walked out after staying in the room for a while, and there didn't seem to be any scars on his body, could it be that Fang Shilang was beaten again?
It wasn't until Fang Zhe walked out of the duty room intact that everyone gradually dispersed, but the doubts in their hearts were deeper, the two didn't make a move, what happened in the duty room just now, what happened ...... this matter has temporarily become an unsolved mystery in the hearts of everyone in the household.
……
In the imperial palace, when Emperor Chen walked back to the imperial study, he saw a figure standing at the door.
Zhao Man looked at him and wanted to cry: "Father, the emperor ......"
Emperor Chen looked at her and said helplessly: "My father promised you that you would not be allowed to go to the grassland and kiss, why don't you believe it?" ”
Zhao Man shook his head and said, "I don't believe it, unless my father makes a note......
"Nonsense!" Emperor Chen glanced at her and said, "It's getting more and more unruly, punish you for three days facing the wall of the dormitory, and don't come out without my permission......"
With that, he waved his sleeves and walked into the imperial study.
When Zhao Man heard this, his face turned pale, and he immediately said, "Father, the emperor ......"
Wei Jian stopped Zhao Man, who wanted to catch up, gave her a look, and whispered: "The princess should go back to the palace first, don't anger Your Majesty......"
Zhao Man walked back to the palace sullenly, Wei Jian walked slowly to the palace and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Qian of the household department has just handed over the fold, saying that the accounts of the last season have been calculated, please look at it." ”
"So fast?" Emperor Chen said in surprise, and said, "Take it to me." ”
Every time the accounts of the household department are calculated, there will be no results until the last day, but this time the number of people is less than half, and the time is a few days earlier, which makes him a little unbelievable for a while.
"It was calculated so quickly, and it didn't disappoint me." He flipped through it and said, "The taxes haven't changed much, but the expenses are much less, and he has saved me a lot of money this time." ”
Wei Jian stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there is also an excerpt here, which was directly handed over by Fang Shilang. ”
"Fang Zhe?" Emperor Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "The one that was handed over directly didn't go to Shangshu Province?" ”
Wei Jian bowed and said, "Back to Your Majesty, no." ”
Emperor Chen took the fold, looked at it suspiciously, and then said in surprise: "This matter sounds strange, if it is true, the court will not have to be so troublesome in the future." ”
He looked at Wei Jian and said, "Let people bring a few books from the Inner Servant Province, and then find a few people from the Hanlin Academy, and let them come here." ”
The Ministry of Internal Service is the department responsible for palace affairs, including the finances of the imperial family, which are all taken care of by the Ministry of Internal Service, although he does not know His Majesty's intentions, Wei Jian still immediately complied.
When several Hanlin were sorting out and classifying the accounts, Emperor Chen put down the piece and asked, "I can't figure out whether this matter is true or not......
Wei Jian said with a smile: "The old slave can't figure it out, but since it was proposed by Tang Xiu and verified by Fang Shilang, I think there should be no fake." ”
Emperor Chen nodded and said, "Both of them are demons that have not been encountered in a hundred years, and they will not be untargeted. ”
Half an hour later, Wei Jian stepped forward with a piece of paper in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, several Hanlin have already classified those accounts according to what you said. ”
Chen Huang was reviewing the chapters and asked casually, "What, which number is the most?" ”
Wei Jian looked down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it's five." ”
Emperor Chen's hand paused, threw the fold in his hand on the table, picked up Fang Zhe's letter again, and looked at it.
At the end of the recital, a sentence was clearly written.
"Whoever falsifies accounts, the first is more than five or six......
Chen Huang slapped the table and said angrily: "Let the inner chamberlain get me over!" ”
