"Home?"

Han Ming, the right attendant of the household department, stood up from his position and said in disbelief: "You said that Master Tang went home?" ”

The household official in front of him nodded and said, "Yes, as soon as the gong sounds, Director Tang will go home." ”

Han Ming was stunned, and said, "What about those account books?" ”

"People moved into the room and locked up." The little official said helplessly: "The history of Du Zhiya's Ji Shi has also gone home." ”

Han Ming looked at Fang Zhe on the side and opened his mouth, "Lord Fang, this ......"

"Lord Han didn't remind me, but I almost forgot, it turned out that I had already released the ya......" Fang Zhe closed the book, stood up, and said with a smile: "Lord Han, see you tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow, see you tomorrow......"

Han Ming watched Fang Zhe walk out and sit back in his position, the people of the Three Elements and the First Rank of the Heart Dao were different from their ordinary people's thinking, Fang Zhe was like this, and Tang Ning was even more so.

The little official said, "Lord Han, what about the account books?" ”

Han Ming's eyes flickered for a moment, then he waved his hand and said, "Since Lord Shangshu handed over the Du branch room to him, let him go." ”

The Royal Palace, somewhere inside the palace.

"When the Du branch accounted for the account books of the last quarter, Du Zhilang took half of the Ji Shi to Shangzhou." Chen Huang smiled and said, "It's a coincidence. ”

Qian Shuo, the head of the household department, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, according to the situation in previous years, only half of the remaining history of the Duzhi Ya cannot be accounted for within the time limit, or will he be transferred from other parties to have some history of calculation, or the period will be extended for a few more days?" ”

"No, you don't." Emperor Chen waved his hand and said, "If you can't even do this thing, what's the point of me letting him walk six steps?" ”

Qian Shuo, the head of the household department, bowed down and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

……

Tang Ning returned home, and only Xiaoru was waiting for him.

Su Ru walked out of the room and said, "Auntie asked us to go over for dinner today, my sister will go over first, and I will wait for Brother Xiaoning to come back and go over together." ”

Tang Ning was puzzled: "Didn't you go there yesterday, could it be that there is something today?" ”

Su Ru shook his head and said, "I don't know, but my uncle seems to be very happy, and we'll know when we go." ”

Tang Ning went out of the house with her, and when she walked to the county office, she saw a team of carriages and horses parked at the entrance of the ya.

A servant was standing in front of the car, disassembling the large bags of things from the car and moving them to the yamen.

This formation doesn't look like unloading, but like moving.

Tang Ning walked into the back office and saw two people standing in the courtyard, one was his father-in-law, and the other was not a stranger, the former Yi'an County Commander Zhao Zhijie, and now he has been promoted to Ping'an County.

Although it seems to be demoted from the county order to the county Cheng, from Yi'an County to Ping'an County, Zhao Zhijie also jumped three levels in a row, and this situation is rare in Chen Guo, which already has a mature promotion path.

Zhao Zhijie stood in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, looked at Zhong Mingli, and said: "It is worthy of the county order of Jingxian County, I haven't seen you for half a year, and the official authority on your body is getting bigger and bigger." ”

Zhong Mingli glanced at him and said, "What you, you, yours, call adult!" ”

Zhao Zhijie snorted coldly: "The surname is Zhong, don't think that you are a great official!" ”

Zhong Mingli looked at him and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, the official is one level old, it's amazing, Zhao Xiancheng, you should call Lord Zhong ......"

Zhao Zhijie looked at him for a long time, waved his sleeves, and said in a stiff voice: "Lord Zhong! ”

Tang Ning watched this scene from a distance, and said in his heart, no wonder he was coming over for dinner today, this Zhao Xiancheng was an old friend of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and when he arrived in Beijing, he should have a banquet to welcome him.

As for their grievances when they were young, why they always fell in love with their father-in-law and killed each other, although Tang Ning was also very curious, this was not something that one of his juniors could inquire about.

In a county office, the county commander is the number one, the county officer and the main secretary are adjutants respectively, and the next level is the county lieutenant.

The former county magistrate and county lieutenant are still in prison, and the master of Ping An has been on the side of his father-in-law from the beginning, and now there is another Zhao Xiancheng who wears the same pants as him.

He just needs to mind his own business.

Chen Langzhong went to Shangzhou with eight Ji Shi, leaving him with less than ten people, if it was according to the previous situation, his first errand when he entered the household department, he had to do it.

This matter came very coincidentally, but when Du Zhiya was the busiest, the chief official was transferred, and it seems that the Tang family's energy in the court exceeded Tang Ning's expectations.

Conspiracy and weirdness can be dealt with by intrigue and trickery, but this kind of open-minded and justified troublemaking can only be broken by serious means.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, when he came to the household department again, the nine Ji Shi of the Duzhi Ya were already standing in a row in the courtyard and waiting.

Seeing him come in, a scribe stepped forward, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Your Excellency, you are here!" ”

Tang Ning glanced at them and asked, "You don't work, what are you doing here?" ”

The scribe immediately said, "My lord, we will only dare to open the box if you give an order." ”

Tang Ning nodded and asked, "How did you settle accounts before, let's talk about it." ”

The scribe followed him into the duty room and said, "Lord Hui, every quarter's accounting, you need to calculate all the accounts several times, if there are three times the same number, and the number of the remaining times is not much different, you can submit it to the imperial court......"

Tang Ning probably understands that it is not enough to calculate these accounts only once, there is no calculator in the household department, let alone a computer, and he can't make Excel sheets, so he can only use the abacus to calculate one by one......

After the scribe finished explaining, he immediately said, "My lord, time is urgent, and my subordinates are urging them to start ...... now."

"There's no hurry." Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Call them all over first." ”

Not long after, the nine Ji Shi of Du Zhiya all stood in front of Tang Ning.

Tang Ning looked at them and asked, "Do you want to learn the mental arithmetic of this official?" ”

A Ji Shi was stunned and asked, "Adults are willing to teach us?" ”

Lord Tang's mental arithmetic speed is extremely fast, and he can be called the fastest man in the household, although they are destined not to be as fast as Lord Tang, but as the history of the household department, who doesn't want to be faster?

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "What is there to be willing, knowledge belongs to all mankind, if you want to learn, why don't I teach you?" ”

He picked up his pen and said, "But before you do that, you need to learn a little bit of the basics. ”

Downing took a pen and wrote on paper: "First of all, you need to memorize these symbols......"

Traditional numerals, e.g. zero, one, two, three, ...... Downing didn't plan to popularize Arabic numerals to everyone, but these histories must be taught, and learning to convert Chinese characters and numbers into Arabic numerals can save a lot of time when writing.

Sharpening knives does not mistake woodcutters, fortunately, these Ji Shi have been dealing with numbers all their lives, and are very sensitive to certain concepts, although they cannot be said to be a little clear, but after a morning's work, after Tang Ning's guidance one by one, they have been able to skillfully use Arabic numerals.

A Ji Shi Mu Lu Qiguang muttered: "This kind of substitution method is simply unheard of, but it is simple and convenient, and it is no more suitable to use it for counting......

"I can guarantee that you can save at least 30% of your time by using this method!"

"It may seem awkward, but it does save time and effort......

……

Tang Ning looked at them and said, "Okay, you practice first, I still have something to teach you in the afternoon......"

Everyone bowed down one after another: "Lord Xie Tang! ”

Tang Ning nodded, if you want to finish the accounts within the specified time, it is not enough to teach them Arabic numerals, although it is not difficult to calculate the flow account of the household department, but it is very cumbersome, you have to teach them how to classify and separate the income and expenditure, so that when you check it again and again, it will be too convenient.

The time for lunch was approaching, and the lunch of the household department was more unbearable than that of the Hanlin Academy, so he looked left and right, beckoned to a scribe, and said, "Come here......"
