"Fang Xiang is a little unwell?"

"It's fine!" Fang Xuanling shook his head at Du Ruhui, who cared about him.

Last night, I finally learned abacus and multiplication formulas at Tang Ping's place, and then I was left to eat.

When the saliva chicken was eaten, Fang Xuanling was making his mouth water, but when he came this morning, he felt guilty in his stomach.

That kind of spicy thing, if you eat it continuously, you just feel enjoyable at the time, but when you stop, you will feel even more spicy.

He wasn't good at eating spicy food, but he couldn't help eating too much yesterday for the sake of his tongue, and as a result, his stomach is still as uncomfortable as turning over the river and the sea.

"Then let's go, it's time to go to court!"

It's not that much to do every day.

Today, for example, there is nothing to do except urge the Ministry of Rites to follow up on the progress of trade with various countries.

Just when Li Shimin was about to retire from the dynasty, Fang Xuanling stood up.

"Your Majesty, yesterday you got a treasure!"

"Oh?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling with interest and asked, "What is the treasure?" ”

There was a bang, Fang Xuanling took out the abacus that Tang Ping gave him yesterday from his arms, and the person who put this thing in his arms was uncomfortable, and it was much more comfortable to take it out.

"This thing is called an abacus, and it is a more convenient thing than a calculator, and with this thing, it can greatly speed up the calculation."

Li Shimin looked at it intently, and the style of this plastic abacus always felt that it came from Tang Ping.

"How fast can this thing be calculated?" Tobe Shangshu Dai Xuan asked.

If you want to say that among these six parts, who wants to count the most things, then it must be their household department.

"It's three or five times faster, but if you're proficient, you can be ten times faster!"

This is the conclusion that Fang Xuanling came to yesterday after he personally got started.

Don't think that the ancients are stupid, they may just be limited to their horizons and other reasons and do not understand some things, but the speed of learning is definitely not bad.

Especially for a person like Fang Xuanling who can be admitted to the Jinshi at the age of eighteen, his memory is definitely far beyond ordinary people.

So it only took an afternoon and an evening, and he was already proficient in using the abacus.

What is the concept of tenfold? Don't say that Dai Zhou doesn't believe it, no one in the Manchu Dynasty believes it except for Li Shimin.

Soon, a Neku and a two of the most powerful people in household arithmetic were called up.

Dai Xuan took out another account book: "This is part of the transaction content this time, and the total price has not been calculated yet, so I don't know the answer, so I will trouble the three." ”

Neku and Hubu haven't figured out what's going on yet, but this is to show their abilities in front of the emperor, if they can get Li Shimin's appreciation, then won't Feihuang Tengda be just around the corner?

As for Fang Xiang, wait for him after a while, as long as he is slightly ahead, they still know this point of sophistication.

So the hall fell silent, only the sound of Fang Xuanling's crackling keyboard and the sound of the two fiddling with chips.

"These two pages are a total of 196,481 dollars!" Fang Xuanling's voice suddenly sounded in the main hall.

The two clerks with the brush shook their hands and almost didn't catch the pen.

Of course, it is impossible to count all of them in this palace competition, so I chose two of the pages.

And the two clerks still have a quarter of the first page still unfinished.

"Is that right?" A member of the household department asked secretly

"How do I know?" Dai Xuan replied angrily.

Everyone is an official in the same dynasty, although the private relationship with Fang Xuanling is not bad, but today, the household officials who he pushed out were so miserable that he couldn't hang on his face.

This pressure was given to the other two officials, and the two who were already complacent had already begun to sweat, and beads of sweat the size of beans began to flow down their sideburns.

After a while, the household clerk wiped his sweat with his sleeve and said with some trembling, "I...... I'm done, it's really as Fang Xiang said. ”

Then Neku's was finished, and the three of them had the same answer, but the speed gap was too big.

"I don't know where I got this thing?" Dai Xuan asked with some blushing eyes.

Don't say that the ancients were diligent in official business, but as long as they go to work, there are really few people who are willing to work overtime.

This household department is in charge of the country's money and grain, and whenever there is a large amount of revenue and expenditure such as tax collection, it is busy with his heels and kicking his ass.

If there's something that speeds up productivity, who wouldn't want it? Is it really my home that the government is my home, and I can't be happy when I work overtime?

"Please forgive me for selling it first!" Fang Xuanling smiled mysteriously, of course he would not ignore Tang Ping's function.

It's just that he thinks that Tang Ping has made such great achievements, so he naturally wants everyone to see all his achievements in abacus and Arabic numerals, so that he can be rewarded for his merits.

So Fang Xuanling went directly to the main hall to briefly explain the principle and usage of abacus, and then the use of Arabic numerals.

Why is he fast? Because if nothing else, it's just a statistical addition, and you have to record it as you add it.

But if you use Chinese to record 10,000 taels of 10,000 pieces, how many strokes do you have to write? But what about Arabic numerals? 12800！

I don't know how much more efficiency has been improved.

As soon as this thing was thrown out, the entire hall was in an uproar, I didn't expect it to be like this!

"Fang Xiang, who invented this thing?" Dai Zhou is the most excited, isn't it a waste for such talents not to come to their own households?

"Minister, please recruit this person into the household department!"

"Dai Shangshu read what you said, your household department needs arithmetic talents, but my Ministry of Engineering doesn't need it?" Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, also came out to speak: "To be able to make such delicate utensils as abacus, I think it is most suitable to go to my Ministry of Industry!" ”

The two Shangshu came out to grab people, and the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War were not idle, and they also came out to join in the fun, after all, which department does not need to be considered a talent?

The list used for the competition just now was handed over by their Ministry of Rites, and if it weren't for the lack of talents in the Ministry of Rites, they would definitely have finished their calculations before being forwarded to the Ministry of Households.

The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War also have their own reasons.

Fang Xuanling didn't expect that before he said who it was, everyone rushed to ask for someone, but this person, he wanted to stay in Menxia Province.

Although Tang Ping was teaching him arithmetic yesterday, many unintentional words made him feel that Tang Ping was extraordinary.

In his opinion, if such a person is cultivated well, he will be a talent in the future, and it is most suitable to go to his own door.

took a step forward, arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this person ......"

"This person ......"

At this moment, the stomach began to turn over again, and if you don't go to the toilet again, I'm afraid that you will lose your manners in front of you.

"Forgive the old minister for a moment!"

This person has three urgency, can it be because the object is different from the emperor or the prime minister?

Therefore, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military could only watch Fang Xiang move towards Gongfang quickly.
