Chapter 302: Reciting Like a Stream

Song Sizhe only knew that Lin Yu and Situ Yuntian seemed to have found him because of some bet, but he didn't hear the specific reason outside the spirit. 【】

"Hehe, Lord Song, right! Actually, it's a few very simple questions, I just want to ask, do you know how many new people there are in the Great Xia Empire this year? How many victims are there? What is the total grain output? And ......" Lin Yu didn't talk much nonsense, and directly asked the question he had just asked Situ Yuntian again, but the territory was expanded from two rivers and three provinces to the entire empire.

Lin Yu asked Song Sizhe questions, and the answers were all on the paper handed to him a few days ago. Although he didn't know what Song Sizhe's memory was, he had already shown him the data in advance, and he had specially instructed him to recite more, presumably no matter how much he didn't take it to heart, he would be able to answer some of it.

Song Sizhe was stunned at first, not too understanding why Lin Yu suddenly asked him these questions again, what was the intention. However, he didn't think about it so much, and directly memorized the data he had seen: "The new population of the Great Xia Empire this year is ...... , the victims of the disaster across the country are...... The amount of food produced is ...... Taxes are collected in total......"

When Song Sizhe finished answering, the entire hall was silent. All the officials were stunned: Is there really someone who can memorize all the data? And memorize it so smoothly, is it made up temporarily?

Song Sizhe stood in place after reciting, still a little stunned, why did everyone look at their eyes a little hot? What happened just now?

Originally, Lin Yu was worried that Song Sizhe would not be able to memorize those numbers completely, because even he himself had to read them several times before he could give a rough idea of the data in those papers. Unexpectedly, Song Sizhe smacked his back, and it was actually word for word!

Lin Yu was also a little shocked after hearing this, and couldn't help but have a deep admiration for his future father-in-law.

"Let's see! I'll just say that if you ask any official, you can know the situation of the Great Xia Empire this year. Lin Yu shook his head and said to Yu Shaoxi triumphantly: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Lord Situ Yuntian is not very competent! As the governor of Liangjiang, he is not sympathetic to the people's feelings at all. On the other hand, Lord Song is different, he always thinks about the people of Great Xia, and even remembers so complicated data clearly, which shows that he is really dedicated to the country and the people!"

After being pitted by Lin Yu a few times, Yu Shaoxi already had a wealth of combat experience, so he didn't talk directly, but turned his head to look at Situ Wuji: "Situ Aiqing, are the data that Song Sizhe and Song Aiqing recited just now completely accurate?"

In Yu Shaoxi's opinion, since Situ Wuji, as the head of the civil ministers, usually handles official documents in the ministry, he should know the data of the Great Xia Empire well, and it is right to confirm that these questions should be captured.

"Uh......" Situ Wuji was suddenly a little dumbfounded, these days he has been busy receiving visiting officials, and receiving gifts is soft, how can he have time to understand this?

Situ Wuji was in a hurry, only to feel that someone behind him touched his arm, and then the person stuffed a booklet into his hand. He secretly looked behind him out of the corner of his eye, only to see that it was Tobe Shangshu who kept glancing at him.

He picked up the booklet and found that it was the booklet used by the household department to record the indicators of the Great Xia Empire this year. As if grasping a life-saving straw, Situ Wuji hurriedly picked up the booklet and flipped through it, and secretly praised Hubu Shangshu for being clever enough.

Originally, the head of the household department Shangshu wanted to submit this data to Yu Shaoxi for the purpose of reporting on his work, but the questions that Lin Yu asked Situ Yuntian before were all data from the regions of the two rivers and three provinces, and there were really not too many in his booklet. In addition, Situ Yuntian was standing in the middle of the hall at that time, and it was too eye-catching to send people over, so he didn't act.

He regretted that he couldn't seize the opportunity to pat the ass of his boss's son, and he didn't expect that there would be another opportunity so coincidentally, so he could make the best use of it! Looking at Situ Wuji's relieved appearance, Hubu Shangshu felt a burst of joy in his heart, it seems that he will definitely be praised by Situ Wuji when he goes back this time!

"Back to ...... Back to Your Majesty, the data that Lord Song said just now is completely accurate, I can't imagine that there are such people with extraordinary memories in our Great Xia Empire, it is simply a blessing for Great Xia! Hahaha...... "Because Song Sizhe said too fast and too much just now, Situ Wuji didn't remember much at all, so he could only verify a few items casually with his memory, and found that there was basically nothing wrong, so he immediately affirmed Song Sizhe's statement, and said excitedly to Yu Shaoxi.

The corners of Lin Yu's mouth hooked, patted Song Sizhe's shoulder, and said to Yu Shaoxi in a heartfelt manner: "Your Majesty, Weichen believes that a talent like Lord Song is suitable to be the governor of Liangjiang, and he will serve the people wholeheartedly!

Situ Wuji's original voice of praise stopped abruptly, like a duck being pinched by the neck. He looked at Lin Yu viciously: This kid did it on purpose, right? As soon as he praised Song Sizhe, he climbed down the pole and directly wanted him to be the governor! He became the governor, what should Yuntian do?

He turned his head again and glared at the Tobe Shangshu fiercely, "Damn, won't you change a few numbers and then hand over the booklet to me?"

That Tobe Shangshu thought that he could be praised for his diligence, but he didn't expect it to be the opposite, and suddenly cold sweat came down.

Yu Shaoxi didn't squeak, he knew that Song Sizhe was the son of Song Yanting and Song Guogong, and he also knew that he was indeed a book-making official in the upper study. He didn't suspect that Lin Yu had deliberately found such a person, after all, in the situation he knew, these two people could be said to have no intersection at all.

It's just that Song Sizhe actually has such an excellent talent, and he never knew it!

Yu Shaoxi was a little embarrassed, Song Guogong was one of the four great princes, and he couldn't directly refute his son's face in public. After all, in order to balance power, he found an opportunity to deprive the head of the Song State of the authority of the ministers. Moreover, after Song Guogong retreated to the second line, he has always been in a semi-secluded state, and he has never asked for anything.

Besides, this Situ Yuntian is too weak, the data that a small cultivator in the family knows, you are the Governor of Liangjiang, and you can't say anything, how can I speak for you?
