There were two people waiting for him.

One in Chang'an 10,000 years ago. One is in present-day Shangluo County.

The carriage creaked and creaked all the way forward, and along the way, Li Zhen finally saw what a big scene was.

Passed through Dongzhou. The governor of the state and the county lord of the whole state led 10,000 soldiers to greet him.

Li Zhen also deliberately had some greetings with them, if there was any impact on the matter of Yanziji, it would be that it was impossible for him to choose Imperial College again.

Fuxing University, located in Dongzhou, became his only choice. Now that he has a good relationship with the officials in Dongzhou, Li Zhen understands that his future path will be easier.

It's a pity that I didn't see anyone from Fuxing University when I passed through Dongzhou, otherwise I would have been able to make some deals privately.

"What are you writing about?"

Mingkang asked curiously.

He found that Li Zhen did not have many books with him, but he carried a lot of notebooks. Along the way, Li Zhen kept writing something, even drawing.

Li Zhen smiled: "It's nothing." ”

Ming Kang pointed to the dense numbers on the notebook: "What do these numbers represent?" ”

"County by county data."

Mingkang's eyes widened: "How do you know these data?" ”

"I saw it."

"Can you see this? This should be the gross domestic product of each county, right? I understand, is this table the size of the city's population, and the conditions for the main income of the people? ”

"Yes."

Li Zhen used his pen to write some in his notebook again, and then fell silent.

Not bright, Qi was also very puzzled: "I haven't seen you ask those officials any questions, how can you know the gross domestic product of other cities?" ”

Mingkang hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes." I haven't seen anyone you ask. ”

Li Zhen smiled and closed the notebook: "You don't need to ask. I don't want to know the specific data of a city, and I don't need to ask them to be accurate to the single digits. With just a pair of eyes, you can almost figure it out. ”

Mingkang was curious: "How did you calculate?" ”

"Let's talk about Luyang County. We stopped in Luyang County for a day and visited the county seat of Luyang County. In the central area of the county, the price of a house is about one gold coin per square meter, which is 1,000 yuan per square meter. Then you can compare it with Hangcheng County, where the price of a house is 450 yuan per square meter. Luyang County is 550 yuan higher than Hangcheng County. It is 2.222 times that of Hangcheng County, and only three decimal places are taken and omitted. ”

"The price of a house is linked to many factors such as local GDP, per capita income, per capita consumption, and people's spending power. Because there are many linked factors, the GDP is calculated according to housing prices, and the error will not be too large. Then I know that the annual GDP of Hangcheng County is 400,000 gold coins, which is 400000000 Kyushu coins. 400,000 gold coins, multiplied by 2.222, rounded, the rough estimate of Luyang County's annual GDP is 890,000 gold coins. ”

Mingkang was dumbfounded, and his mouth opened wide, and he was amazed in his heart at these readers. Can this also be calculated?

Qi was confused, he hadn't gone to school, he couldn't understand it, and he asked: "You mean, the entire county town of Luyang County can earn 890,000 gold coins a year?" ”

Li Zhen ignored him and continued briskly:

"Instead, just estimate the GDP of a county town based on housing prices, and there will be some errors. Therefore, it is also necessary to calculate the balance of fresh hard currencies such as rice prices, oil prices, and meat prices. In addition, I observed a major commercial street in Luyang County, where there are a total of 1,230 merchants. Of these, 800 are ready-to-wear stores, and out of 800, 129 are brand-name stores aimed at high-end consumer groups......"

"I convert it according to the length of the shopping street and the façade. Compare the commercial streets of Hangcheng County and the commercial streets in other areas along the way for conversion and average. After that, observe the flow of people on the street with a length of ten meters in the same time period. ”

"Take the same time, the same length of one minute of the flow of people for comprehensive calculation. It is converted according to the total number of people in the whole county disclosed by the entire Luyang County. You can know the approximate percentage of the group with spending power in Luyang County. Recording the percentage of people's spending power in each city can show at a glance which city is richer and which city has more spending power. ”

"After taking a peek at the surface, the conversion is carried out according to the existing conditions and the existing data. You can accurately see whether the government is rich or the people are rich in a county town. Whether it is a poor county rich people, or a rich county poor people. Through the city's gross domestic product, it is compared with the percentage of people's consumption power. Observe data from other counties. You can get ...... Which county has a large demand for which type of items, and which county has any omissions. Which county needs something, and which county is saturated with what. ”

“……”

Ming Kang and Qi were dumbfounded the whole time.

The two squatted in front of Li Zhen in a daze, watching Li Zhen's upper and lower lips collide, and shocking words came out.

It's stupid.

Ming Kang said: "You are too terrifying! If you let the local county lord know that you can see through so much data, he's afraid he's going to collapse, right? The county lords all over Kyushu are very secretive about these data. Some places want the imperial court to help, and they will underreport. In some places, if you want to slap a swollen face and become fat, you will report more. No one can analyze these data, and the data is in the hands of the county lords themselves, and most of them are lies.

You...... You don't even have to ask. Can it be analyzed directly? You're horrible. If you let the county lords know that you still have this ability, I'm afraid they will have the intention to kill you. ”

Li Zhen smiled: "Since you are working for the empire, you have to start from a little bit." Accurately understand the data of each county, and I will not be blind when I am suddenly assigned to work in any region in the future. The most important thing is that the imperial court must know these data. ”

"Why? The imperial court knew some of the situation, but it couldn't count such a huge amount of data, so they all turned a blind eye. There have been no mistakes for so many years, and they are all unspoken rules. ”

"That's different. If all the prefectures in Kyushu lied about the data, the imperial court would lose too much. This brings us to the big problem of uneven distribution of resources. A county town is already saturated, but it lies about the data. Then the imperial court will allocate more to this county in the limited resources, and in fact this county is already saturated, just eat more and occupy more. Naturally, under limited resources, some people eat more and occupy more, and some people can't eat more. In this way, the areas that need it will not be obtained, and the areas that are not needed will always be obtained, and the wasted resources will skyrocket. The terrible thing is that the imperial court still doesn't know that a lot of things are wasted......"

Mingkang was speechless: "That...... Then after you enter Beijing, do you want to give this notebook to the imperial court? ”

Li Zhen laughed: "I am also a person with some political IQ. I just know this notebook myself, and I will seek his position in his position, and he will not seek his government if he is not in his position. The rash handing in is the interests of the majority, and in fact, this notebook can't make any waves in the end. It's just an enemy for yourself for no reason. I hope Brother Ming will keep it a secret for me. ”

Ming Kang nodded and quickly forgot about it in his heart. He knew that Li Zhen could tell himself the principle of the data in this notebook, but he was not afraid that he would say it at all.

Because this notebook fell out, no one benefited. It is impossible for the imperial court to carry out any major changes because of a notebook. On the contrary, they will hate a group of people because of a notebook......

Qi was stunned and looked at Li Zhen with some horror, and said, "You are really a talent." ”

Li Zhen smiled indifferently, blowing a gentle breeze, looking at the scenery of the empire......

He has the mind of a mature politician - not in his position, not in his office.

The fate of being a bad and good person can't change anything, the only thing that can be changed is that you die under the knife and axe.

And these data. Only when it is in its place will it be useful and become a sharp sword!

This sharp sword does not threaten the interests of some. Therefore, this sword can always be held in Li Zhen's hand and will last forever......

Zhang Zhi taught him the truth, the philosophy of life in China that has been Chinese for 5,000 years - sharp and modest.
