Seeing that Fang Jifan had pierced himself, Zhu Houzhao's face flushed slightly: "Why is someone else's father so good?" ”

Fang Jifan was surprised: "I don't know who the father His Highness is talking about?" ”

"Your father!" Zhu Houzhao glared at him again, and then shook his head: "Father is becoming more and more violent, obviously he is so kind to hundreds of officials, but he is becoming more and more strict with this palace, and the days of this palace can't be lived." ”

Another sigh.

Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "Your Highness has another scar on his body, it's amazing, this is the mark of an iron-blooded true man." ”

Zhu Houzhao squinted, as if he still couldn't be happy.

It seems that this set is already immune.

Fang Jifan sighed and mourned for him: "Your Highness, being beaten is a common thing in soldiers, it can refine muscles and bones, and it can also strengthen the body. ”

“……”

Fang Jifan suddenly laughed dryly, uh...... Somewhat embarrassing...... He lowered his head and looked at Zhu Houzhao's case, which was a stack of dense manuscripts, Fang Jifan was suspicious, he didn't see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would work so hard: "What is His Royal Highness doing?" ”

"Count!" Zhu Houzhao suddenly bared his teeth: "Do you know why you were beaten yesterday?" It's because of this counting, isn't this the end of the year? At the end of the year, the treasury wants to convert money and grain, the household department there, to check the accounts, the palace yesterday in the warm pavilion to accompany the car, listen to the father and Master Liu they talk about this, the palace thought, this dare is good, the palace is also interested in arithmetic, is to say to the father, let the sons to calculate, the father listened, he was not happy, said that the palace is not good to read the four books, learn the art of arithmetic to do? ”

Fang Jifan couldn't help frowning, no, although the status of arithmetic in the Ming Dynasty is not high, it is better than not learning and not knowing, and it has not yet reached the point of being beaten.

When Zhu Houzhao said this, he couldn't help but pat his face lightly, and said with a depressed face: "This palace is confused, ......" and said bitterly: "This palace is actually speechless, and replied to his father that this march is fighting, how can it not be reasonable, otherwise, how to calculate the number of thieves from the marching pot; how to calculate money and food, how to reasonably match horse infantry; The palace said to his father that the method of generals is actually the method of counting, arranging troops...... It's also arithmetic...... Results ......"

This is a low IQ, Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao seriously, and muttered in his heart, isn't it His Royal Highness the Prince, who also has brain damage.

Well...... It's possible!

In addition to the great martial arts of Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Wen, especially after the Tumubao Change, it has become taboo for the emperor to go to war. And the emperor does not think about the art of the emperor, does not study the Four Books and Five Classics, and learns the principles of the sages, but is full of thoughts about fighting and killing, which is even more unprofessional.

This is the current climate, and it cannot be changed.

Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth: "This palace must be calculated, and it must be calculated even if it is beaten." ”

At the end of the year, even if it was time for accounting, there were special personnel in the household department to carry out the accounting, Fang Jifan curiously took a book and browsed it at a glance.

It is probably as follows: 'In March of the eleventh year of Hongzhi, 110,000 catties of silk were put into storage, 330,000 horses of cloth, and 93,423 taels of silver were put into storage; 540,000 stone ......"

This dense data made Fang Jifan's scalp tingle.

The so-called taxation of the Ming Dynasty is mainly based on physical objects, so people who study history have taken a look at the annual silver of the Ming Dynasty, which is probably only about millions of taels, which is outrageously low compared to other dynasties. But in fact, tax silver is only a small head of the small head, and the real large-scale storage is silk, tea, grain and even porcelain, including countless materials, these all kinds of materials, is an important source of wealth for the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the calculation method of cashiers and entries in this era is really primitive and excessive, and the personnel of the household department are just adding and subtracting from the accounts.

Think about it, one Jiangsu province has such a huge amount of calculations, put it in two capitals and thirteen provinces? This is not the most terrible, the terrible thing is that in the process of transporting materials, there will be losses, since there is an account, naturally in the process, there is also a cashier, so ...... At the end of the year, the household account is extremely large, and the algorithm of addition and subtraction may not be accurate, but also needs to be accounted for again and again, and because the amount of calculation is amazing, so there must be special personnel to go hand in hand, their own accounting, and finally, and then to summarize.

Fang Jifan squinted, looking at the pile of books on the desk, and couldn't help but feel numb for it.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were bloodshot, thinking about it, in order to gamble on this breath, he had stayed up all night.

Zhu Houzhao actually has a stubborn side, which can be seen from the fact that in history, he had to sneak to Datong every once in a while, screaming to fight the Tatars.

But...... This dense account book, Fang Jifan himself can see that his scalp is numb, that is, the household department has to be calculated, there are not more than a dozen people, constantly carry out repeated calculations, spend many days of effort, I am afraid that it may not be able to come up with accurate figures, your Royal Highness the Prince, how can you calculate it.

It's useless.

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao buried his eyes in the case again, and he couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Where is the palace just now?" It's all your fault, Lao Fang, you share the heart of this palace. ”

"I'll do the math!" This cheating child, Fang Jifan couldn't help but complain in his heart, but somewhat, he still felt a little sorry for him, although the age difference between the two was almost the same, but Fang Jifan was a human being in two lives, but his psychological age was enough to be Zhu Houzhao's eldest brother, seeing Zhu Houzhao like this, Fang Jifan was calm: "You take the account book and show me one by one." ”

Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan in surprise: "Do you still count?" ”

"I'm a god operator!" Fang Jifan sat down and first took out an account book.

In terms of the level of arithmetic, although Fang Jifan is a liberal arts student, after all, he still has enough crushing advantages for people in this era, to put it mildly, just throw a calculus or Pythagorean theorem or calculus, which is enough for the ancients to improve the arithmetic level for hundreds of years.

Of course...... Fang Jifan didn't plan to use arithmetic, because even if he took out his housekeeping skills to check, it would take him at least a day or two to sort out these account books, so ...... How do you come up with a real answer?

It's actually quite simple...... The amount of annual income and expenditure in the eleventh year of Hongzhi was already in Fang Jifan's mind.

People who study the history of the Ming Dynasty not only want to study the characters, as a scholar, simply start from the characters, this is the level of civil science, in the last life, what was advocated was materialism, what is materialism? That is, according to the level of productive forces, the social background is deduced, and this is what the so-called economic base determines the superstructure.

Therefore, to study the Ming Dynasty, we must first understand its productivity, where is the productivity derived? Naturally, it is derived from the annual surplus of its treasury.

Therefore, a real researcher is different from ordinary enthusiasts, who tend to be more biased towards characters and make their own judgments on history according to the quality of the characters. However, researchers are more inclined to boring data, and the success of Zhang Juzheng's reform is actually related to the vast amount of grain, silk, and silver in the Ming Shilu.

Fang Jifan still remembers these data, on the one hand, he has a good memory, and on the other hand, this is his own job.

But knowing the real data of this year's income, Fang Jifan can't rush to throw it out, since he wants to help Zhu Houzhao, then ...... Always pretend.

So he began to look down at the account book, reciting words, and there was nonsense in his mouth such as one-three-three-three, two-three-six, etc., as if the old god was there.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look a little suspicious, and the old man ...... Do you really count?

It looks very professional.

He looked down at the boring book, and simply ...... handed it over to Fang Jifan.

So, Fang Jifan pretended to check the calculations one by one, and Zhu Houzhao happily poured him tea and handed him water on the side: "Old Fang, is it cold or not, do you want to add some coal?" ”

"Go aside."
