Chapter 20: Impressive

When he was young, An Xun led the eunuch in.

The four eunuchs in front of them were holding a tray, and there were thick first bases of documents stacked in the tray, and several eunuchs came up and placed the documents one by one in the desk, and the six eunuchs in the back were in the tray, and there were bamboo slips in it, and they placed the bamboo slips under the desk.

Looking at it, Ji Xuanling frowned slightly.

In my memory, the Seven Kingdoms did not know the art of papermaking, but the Daqian Dynasty of the Central Plains had mature technology.

The first king was defeated, the rise of Great Qin was blocked, and the Great Cadres refused to trade with Great Qin, resulting in the high cost of Xianyang paper and a thousand gold.

The imperial court had no choice but to continue to use traditional bamboo slips.

In the court, bamboo slips were also used to record copywriting, which surprised him.

Is Daqin so poor?

Or did the Great Qian Dynasty want to consume Great Qin?

Finding that Ji Xuanling's expression was displeased, An Xun hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, these documents are all records of tax and land rent and horse administration in the previous two years, and the records in the bamboo slips are records of the past two years. ”

Ji Xuanling responded, picked up the teacup and took a small sip, warm the tea entrance, he frowned, and instantly twisted into a rope.

What a bitter tea!

With a thud, he spit the tea into the teacup again.

I had no choice but to grab a document and take a quick look at it.

Internal troubles have not been eliminated, external troubles have not been solved,

Only by thoroughly grasping Daqin's family background as soon as possible can he dare to adapt measures to local conditions, implement targeted policies, and revitalize Daqin in a stable and orderly manner.

Next to the dining table, Ruan Chengcheng and Zhang Lihua concentrated on eating, and Mrs. Shaohua sat next to them to accompany the two, but a pair of beautiful eyes shifted to Ji Xuanling from time to time.

She found that Ji Xuanling read the documents very quickly, dipping his fingers in warm tea from time to time, drawing on the desk, and telling An Xun what to record on the bamboo slips at any time.

How can such a rash approach find out the problem of money and food?

Mrs. Shaohua was dissatisfied, and sighed secretly, the king is simply messing around, recording the rent and tax of money, grain and grain, and Ma Zheng's documents involve a lot of cumbersome data, and the king's practice of ten lines at a glance is too child's play.

If you are not careful, not only can you not make the copywriting record clear, but it is more and more troublesome to mess up the record.

even suspected that Ji Xuanling didn't know how to pretend to understand, and deliberately pretended.

During this period, Zhang Lihua and Ruan Chengcheng also noticed Ji Xuanling's actions, and they were shocked one by one.

If one reads the laws and decrees of the war, it is not enough to read ten lines at a glance, but how can the king read the records of the grain tax in a hurry?

For a moment, the three of them were a little anxious and uneasy.

On the soft couch, when Ji Xuanling read the documents, his face was sad, and his thoughts were very solemn.

After a quick examination of the two documents, he found that the amount of taxes paid to the state treasury in the previous two years was getting smaller and smaller, while the court expenses were getting larger and larger, and a lot of the money and grain were transferred by the CRRC government and his cronies.

At the same time, the number of military horses raised in various parts of Daqin is also decreasing, on the one hand, the expenditure is decreasing, and the court does not have enough financial resources to raise horses, on the other hand, in the horse farms in various parts of Daqin, there are officials secretly selling military horses.

embezzle taxes and fill your pockets.

"This bunch of crumbs."

Ji Xuanling was annoyed, and scolded coldly.

A large amount of tax revenue flowed into the homes of Guo Tianlu and his henchmen, and Daqin became a treasure trove for their personal gain.

Fortunately, Guo Tianlu and other forces were destroyed in one fell swoop, otherwise Great Qin would have been destroyed in their hands.

At this moment, he couldn't wait to go to the cell and dismantle Guo Tianlu and the others to vent his anger.

An Xun felt Ji Xuanling's anger, trembling, and his face was as frightened as earth, for fear that the king would reprimand him.

At the end of dinner, Mrs. Shaohua, Zhang Lihua, and Ruan Chengcheng, with dissatisfaction and surprise, moved to the side of the soft couch to sort out the documents.

Sensing Ji Xuanling's distressed, slightly angry, but focused, Ji Shaohua and the others couldn't help but become more and more suspicious, could it be that the king is really virtuous and can easily sort out the problems in the documents.

In the past, his mediocre performance was pretending to be shown to Guo Tianlu to hide his ability.

About an hour later, Ji Xuanling read more than half of the documents, and when he wanted to pick up the teacup to quench his thirst, he retracted his palm, raised his head and ordered: "Ah Luo, change a cup of warm water for this king." ”

At this time, Mrs. Shaohua took the opportunity to ask: "Is it too child's play for the king to read the ten lines at a glance?" ”

Too child's play?

Ji Xuanling didn't feel that his approach was sloppy, child's play, in order to calculate every expense, he was very serious in every step, and he didn't dare to be careless.

How can Ji Shaohua, Zhang Lihua, and Ruan Chengcheng have some doubts in their eyes, and they don't believe what he does.

I couldn't help but ask An Xun: "An Xun, is there any error in the content that this king ordered you to record?"

An Xun was covered with beads of sweat, and quickly engraved Ji Xuanling's words on the bamboo slips, and replied before he had time to wipe the sweat from his forehead: "What the king said, there has never been a mistake. ”

At this moment, he was also suspicious.

He has served the king for six years, and he knows the king's temperament. Wang Shang was not good at dealing with government affairs, especially the cumbersome and complicated issues of taxation, money, and food.

Tonight seems to be a sudden change of person, and he knows everything about the cumbersome tax and grain records.

"Isn't there anything wrong?"

Ji Shaohua became more and more curious, how could this be possible, could it be that the king was the reincarnation of Wenquxing.

I couldn't help but pick up the bamboo slips carved by Anxun and check them word by word.

She wasn't good at this kind of thing, but she could barely read it.

I tried to find errors in the bamboo slip records, and browsed several times, but found that the bamboo slips recorded the sources of money and grain, taxes, military horses, quantity, expenditure, and vacancies in the treasury.

The tax records are clear and concise, and there are indeed no mistakes.

In an instant, the beautiful eyes couldn't help but look at Ji Xuanling, maybe he really underestimated the ability of the king.

Ruan Tingcheng noticed Ji Shaohua's surprised demeanor, and asked in a voice like a mosquito: "How is it, is the king proficient in government affairs?" ”

"Hmm!" Ji Shaohua's elite teeth bit his Dan lip lightly and chin slightly.

How is this possible?

The change in the king is incredible.

Ji Xuanling Ji Shaohua, Ruan Qingcheng's surprised expression, couldn't help but smile secretly, they despised themselves too much.

The records of these grains may be cumbersome and complicated, and may be extremely difficult for others, but in his eyes they are a piece of cake.

Don't say that the pen counts, and his mental arithmetic speed will not be too slow.

Looking at the graceful Yiren with different postures in front of him, Ji Xuanling said: "It's not early, let's go back and rest early." ”

Zhang Lihua and Ruan Chengcheng saluted and retired.

Ji Shaohua accompanied them out of the dormitory and asked about what happened in Zhangtai Palace.

Ji Xuanling's change was too unexpected.

She was desperate to find out what was going on inside the court to test her suspicions.

At midnight, when Ji Shaohua returned to the dormitory, Ji Xuanling basically finished processing the documents in the desk, and An Xun was carrying the bamboo slips stacked under the desk onto the desk.

Seeing Ji Xuanling again, remembering Ruan Chengcheng and what Zhang Lihua said, she was completely impressed by Ji Xuanliang.
