The news that Xu Yuanzuo didn't read soon spread on the street.

In this era when the neighborhood knows the roots, everyone thinks that Xu Yuanzuo has finally been enlightened.

I think that the Xu family is not a big family, and if you want to provide for two scholars, isn't your heart higher than the sky?

If it is said that the Xu family is talented, the neighbors are willing to help and make a good relationship, but Xu Yuanzuo is a stupid and stupid person, and his life is thinner than paper.

After Xu Yuanzuo was beaten, he stayed at home for several days. He first took some paper and pen and wrote down the big plan for the next two years of Longqing, for fear that time would dilute his memory and be negligent in some details.

Xu Yuanzuo stopped writing, and wanted to squeeze out some soap-making and glass-making skills from his brain, but unfortunately he tore off the paper before he finished writing.

Judging from the fifteen years of life he took over, soap could not form a crushing market advantage for soap horn at all, but the investment was huge, and the lack of supply channels for raw materials would eventually lead to high costs and low profit margins.

As for the glass manufacturing industry, it is a labor-intensive industry, and I currently have no strength to do it. If you want to take the technology to buy shares, then you really become a craftsman, maybe you will be crossed by people to cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey, eat and wipe clean and kick out the gate.

Xu Yuanzuo put away the paper and looked around. This room is where I sleep with my brother, there is only one bed, and the two brothers sleep on their feet at night, and it is inconvenient to turn over. In addition, there is a square table and a bamboo bookshelf, all of which are made by my father.

Books on the shelves...... Xu Yuanzuo couldn't remember what books were on the shelf, so he moved to the bookshelf and flipped through them casually.

In the handy place are a few enlightenment books, and a book of rough-edged paper with words written at some unknown time. Looking at the grid on it again, it hides a large tome, takes off the blowing ash, and the cover reads "Da Ming Law Collection Supplementary Regulations", "Punishment Regulations", and "Imperial Decree".

Xu Yuanzuo Yiqi: There are not many sets of books in the Chenghua period. In the late Ming Dynasty, it was even more rare for the people to see, but I didn't expect to have it in my own home. This can be kept well and passed on to children and grandchildren in exchange for money.

He dusted off the ashes, and when he saw that the condition was in good condition and there were no moth-eaten rat bites, he put it aside, ready to go back and find a camphor wood box to hide. Then he placed the unknown account book and two legal codes on the table, ready to look through them.

If you want to talk about what kind of knowledge you need to run a business, accounting and law must be mastered. No matter how big or small the business is, how high or low the status is, whether or not the subordinates have lawyers and accountants, as a boss, you have to know more or less -- at least you have to achieve the level of not making jokes.

Xu Yuanzuo started from his own profession first, opened the "Da Ming Law", picked a few more contemporary regulations and looked at them, then closed his eyes, and naturally printed out the content he had just read in his mind, but unfortunately it was just careless, it seems that this time the crossing did not give an unforgettable golden finger, and even compared with the previous memory, it is a little declining.

Xu Yuanzuo carefully read the "Questioning and Punishment Regulations", which was a newly revised written law in the Hongzhi year, and was also revised in the Jiajing period as a supplement to the "Da Ming Law". It can be said that this code is the guide to the life of the people of the Ming Dynasty who truly guide them to abide by the law.

With the fact that he has not completely forgotten the history of the legal system, Xu Yuanzuo did not have much difficulty in reading the Ming Law, and he also had a feeling for the orthographic characters, and his reading speed became faster and faster.

It was almost noon, Xu Yuanzuo finally put down the code and opened the account book, but his brows were already wrinkled in just a breath.

The ink in the account book is still clear, and the paper is not very yellow, so it seems that the time is not very long. However, the writing is too bad, the frame is loose, the pen is light and floating, and it is common to be biased, which shows that it is written by a person who has no culture, and is frivolous and impetuous.

What made him frown even more was that the account book was a three-legged account, which can be said to be the transition from single-entry accounting to double-entry accounting, which is essentially a running account. Xu Yuanzuo is used to reading the account page of the loan method of borrowing left and lending right, and at first glance the format of the upper and lower structures is a little unaccustomed, but what really makes him frown is not just a bad word and an unfamiliar structure, but the numbers in it.

The figures of the accounts are capitalized, and some corners are also written in rough code.

Xu Yuanzuo glanced at it, but what was reflected in his mind was not Arabic numerals, but the concept of numbers.

These digital concepts are as lively and vivid as in Xu Yuanzuo's mind.

And in this vividness, there is a sense of dissonance.

This is the reason why Xu Yuanzuo frowned.

――Why do I find these numbers discordant?

Xu Yuanzuo's eyes drifted out of the window, but his mind was extremely concentrated.

Yes! I've never been so sensitive to numbers before, otherwise what else would I be a liberal arts primary school bully? I've been a fake scientist a long time ago!

It seems that he is still wrong to blame the previous Xu Yuanzuo. He may not be really stupid and unwilling to use his brain, most likely because his talent is not in words, but in numbers.

Xu Yuanzuo knows that many people who are extremely sensitive to numbers have autistic tendencies or brain disabilities. This kind of person has a proper name in the later life, called "Rain Man". In today's era, if there is no emphasis on arithmetic in the school, Xu Yuanzuo's talent cannot be brought into play, and he will naturally be underestimated.

Xu Yuanzuo thought about the east corner of the mulberry that he had lost, and he was in a good mood. And with the weapon of digital talent in hand, the knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry that he learned in later generations will not be dusty.

He wrote two sets of numbers on a piece of paper casually, and naturally went through addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in his mind, and even opened the square, and there was no stagnation, as smooth as memorizing a chronology of Chinese history.

Xu Yuanzuo's heart moved, and he remembered the supernatural phenomenon in the field of mathematics: Ben Fu's law.

Physicist Frank Benfort found that the number jù with one as the first digit is about 30% of the total number derived from real life. The probability of occurrence of the number headed by two is 17.6 percent. The probability of the number of three dozen has dropped to 12.5.

The higher the number, the lower the probability of the number that comes first.

From the point in time when Xu Yuanzuo came, this law has not been proved by mathematicians, but it has been widely used to distinguish the truth and falsity of various numbers.

In 2001, for example, Enron, the largest energy trader in the United States, declared bankruptcy. It was later discovered that Enron's earnings per share figures for 2001-02 did not conform to Ben Ford's law, proving that Enron's top leadership did change those figures.

This is also the reason why Xu Yuanzuo feels that the numbers are not harmonious.

For any person with a high sensitivity to numbers, the naturally occurring numbers and artificially created false numbers are as similar to the eyes of a fish mixed in a pearl.

At the end of the day, they're a group of people who interpret the world in numbers.

Xu Yuanzuo quickly flipped through the account books and found that his sensitivity to numbers had reached the point of horror. I only read the more than 100 pages of account books, and I actually remembered them all in my head.

But all I remember are the numbers, and the text notes are not in my mind.

This is somewhat of a fly in the ointment.

Xu Yuanzuo put down the account book, looked out the window, rested his eyes, and just guessed the origin of this account book.

Suddenly, he heard a knock on the street, and pulled him out of his thoughts.

This ringing is called "reporting the king's knowledge", which is the blind man's trick of selling hexagrams.

"Come on, Mr. Blind, I have something to ask." But it was the mother's voice.

Because Xu Yuanzuo stopped studying and didn't make a living, he stayed at home and was an old man who ate idle food, so he didn't want to go downstairs and hang in front of his mother. Hearing his mother call the fortune teller, he was curious, slightly adjusted his appearance, cleared his throat, and walked out of the room with a shy face.
