Wei Zheng did not believe the speed of the abacus, and neither did the other officials in the court.

They have come out to express their skepticism.

Li Shimin also felt a little incredible.

"British duke, is this really so powerful?"

Li Ji had expected this situation, and if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes yesterday, he wouldn't have believed it.

"Shengshang, is this abacus powerful, just try it, find a few account books, and then find a few powerful account settlers, the minister is above this hall, just try it with them on the spot, the minister is not a special number of abacus, but it should be no problem to challenge ten people."

Whether it's powerful or not, you can know it by comparing it, it's useless to beep blindly in this hall.

After Li Ji finished speaking, Li Shimin nodded and said: "It makes sense, come on, go find the ten best accounting gentlemen, and then go and find ten account books at random, today we will try it and see which one is more powerful." ”

After Li Shimin gave the order, there were palace people to do it soon, and it didn't take long for ten accounting gentlemen, as well as account books and so on.

Subsequently, Li Ji began to compete with them.

Above the main hall, it was surprisingly quiet.

Li Ji kept moving the abacus, and quickly finished calculating an account book, but the others only counted a few pages.

After seeing this situation, many people in the DPRK and China were a little shocked.

But Li Ji was distracted, and continued to count non-stop, ten account books, he didn't take much time to finish the calculation, and then, he wrote an answer.

At this time, several other bookkeepers had already calculated about the same.

However, each of them only counts one, while Li Ji counts ten books per person.

After everyone had done the math, the ten bookkeepers summed up the results again, and then wrote an answer.

After they finished writing the answers, they gave them to Li Shimin, and when Li Shimin saw the two answers, his heart trembled suddenly, and then he made the two answers public.

When everyone saw it, they showed shocked expressions.

"Same? It turned out to be the same? ”

"This means that the abacus is really useful, and it is faster than ten people."

"And it's so accurate, this thing is really godly."

Everyone was shocked, even the bookkeepers couldn't believe that this was true, they were the most confident in their speed, but now they couldn't compare to an abacus.

"Holy Lord, now you believe this is a treasure, right?"

Li Shimin nodded: "It's indeed a baby, and it's a good baby, British Duke, where did you get this thing?" ”

At this time, everyone was also curious, where did Li Ji get such a good thing?

Before Li Ji could speak, Cheng Yanjin couldn't hold back and said: "Shengshang, this was invented by Cui Shaoqing." ”

"Cui Shaoqing?" Li Shimin couldn't remember the name for a while, but he felt very familiar.

"It's the one who offered the secret recipe for fine salt, we bought his grain at the time and found it by accident, this abacus was also discovered by us, this Cui Shaoqing, he still has some ability."

As soon as Cheng Yanjin explained this, Li Shimin remembered it all.

"It turned out to be him, it seems that this Cui Shaoqing really has some ability, this abacus is a good thing, it should indeed be promoted, Cui Shaoqing can invent this thing, yes, then reward him with a daughter, the Ministry of Industry should make more abacus as soon as possible and promote it throughout Datang."

Fine salt is related to the people's livelihood in the end, so it is a great achievement, Li Shimin can give him an official position, compared with fine salt, the effect is much lighter, although it is also useful to the imperial court, but it is not necessary, so Li Shimin just rewarded Cui Shaoqing with his daughter, which is considered to have bought his patent.

But this time, Li Shimin can remember this Cui Shaoqing.

If there is a chance in the future, he will definitely promote Cui Shaoqing.

After Li Shimin finished his order, the palace people were ordered to retreat, and these people in the court discussed it again before they could be regarded as retreating.

And when he was retiring from the dynasty, Cui Renshi, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, turned a little pale, and after leaving the palace, he hurriedly returned to the mansion.

"Master, what makes you so angry?"

As soon as Cui Renshi arrived at the house, his housekeeper sensed that something was wrong.

Cui Renshi's eyes condensed, and he said: "What's the matter with Cui Renli's son Cui Shaoqing, didn't you ask you to find a way to get him out of the capital, how did he become an official in Wannian County, and he was repeatedly praised by the saints?" ”

Hearing this, the butler suddenly became a little nervous.

"Master, at that time, Cui Shaoqing participated in the imperial examination, and after his subordinates found out his identity, he tried to make him fall off the list through some relationships, and he was in the capital for half a year, and his subordinates also troubled him many times, so that he could not climb the relationship in the capital, but who knew that he left Chang'an City and went to Wannian County, and suddenly got up, which ...... This subordinate was also unexpected. ”

"Cui Renli is my cousin, he was quite famous in the clan back then, he was a popular candidate for the deputy patriarch, and he was also my opponent, I never thought that he fell in love with a civilian woman, and he had to marry her, our Cui family, is it a door that allows ordinary women to enter the door, it's really ridiculous, and then he eloped with the woman and left the Cui family, I have the opportunity to become the deputy patriarch, and now the patriarch is old, and he may die at any time, this patriarch must be mine, but if they know the existence of Cui Shaoqing, and his current situation, I'm afraid that there will be twists and turns again, and you will find a way, no matter what, you will ruin Cui Shaoqing's reputation for me. ”

After the housekeeper Cui Hao heard this, he didn't dare to hesitate at all, and hurriedly responded.

Wannian County Ya.

When Cui Shaoqing was busy in the county office, a government official suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"Palace...... Someone came to the palace, and he wanted to find Cui Xiancheng. ”

After the official finished speaking, everyone was stunned, and couldn't help but look at Cui Shaoqing, this is good, what are the people in the palace looking for Cui Shaoqing?

However, they didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly walked out, after all, it was the people in the palace, how dare they slack?

When they came outside, Cui Shaoqing and the others saw a total of palace people waiting for him, and there was a big box behind the palace people.

"Is that Cui Xiancheng?"

Cui Shaoqing stepped forward and said, "Under Cui Shaoqing, I don't know what my father-in-law is looking for me?" ”

"The abacus invented by Cui Xiancheng, the saint likes it very much, and the officials in the DPRK and China also think that this abacus is a thing that benefits the people and the merit is in the Tang Dynasty, and the saint has ordered the Ministry of Industry to step up manufacturing, and then promote the Tang Dynasty, the saint wants me to reward you, this is a daughter, you accept the thanks."

The attitude of the palace people was good, but after the others in the county government heard it, they were all stunned.

"What abacus?"

"What's an abacus?"
