"These are some simple symbols that represent numbers."

Zhang Han explained, "His Royal Highness Huazhang said that this simple symbol is called 'Arabic' numerals, but the minister thinks that it should be called Huazhang numbers. ”

"Because it's a new thing created by His Royal Highness Huazhang."

Regarding the 'Arabic' numerals, Zhang Han did not agree with them from the beginning.

He always felt that this should be called Huazhang number, because Princess Huazhang made it.

But His Royal Highness Huazhang was unwilling to accept this statement, and it was difficult for him to argue with the head of the guard.

At this moment, when I talked about this with His Majesty and several old ministers, I couldn't help but tell my thoughts truthfully.

"Zhang Langzhong, you might as well write a few numbers for us to see."

When Meng Yi heard this, he couldn't take care of eating, so he quickly got up and took the bamboo slips and brushes he carried with him, and spread them on the table to signal.

Zhang Han did not hesitate, and directly put the most basic 0, 1, and 2 、...... 9 These ten numbers are written.

Seeing this simple and strange symbol, Ying Zheng and several ministers couldn't help but be curious: "What does this mean?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is the new number that His Highness Hua Zhang taught us, from zero to ninety basic numbers."

Zhang Han told the truth what he was taught at the beginning, "Then you can combine them at will to become the big number you want, such as 10,000, which is 10,000." ”

"Another example......"

Zhang Han combined the numbers into different appearances, and saw that the monarchs and ministers sighed again and again.

"Also...... How simple could it be? ”

Li Si blinked, "If this number is used in bookkeeping, wouldn't it be possible to save countless bamboo slips?" ”

"The numbers are simple, but so are the revisions."

Although Ying Zheng saw the convenience of using these figures, he also took into account the danger of alteration.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Huazhang has also taken into account the relevant issues, so in a position that is easy to be changed, it will be accompanied by a capital number."

"It is to use the Qin seal that we are familiar with every day to write the corresponding numbers below, the top is easy to modify, and the Qin seal below is not easy."

Therefore, after nearly two months of getting along, Zhang Han's admiration for His Royal Highness Hua Zhang is endless.

"Well, that's a solution."

The monarchs and ministers watched it with relish, and the delicious meals could not stop their determination to accept new things.

"By the way, Your Highness has also prepared an accounting form."

Zhang Han took out the daily training record book commonly used by his personal guards and showed it to everyone.

"Your Majesty, look, this is the record book of the members and duties of His Royal Highness Huazhang's personal guards, here are the names, positions, and the personality and specialties of each personal guard."

"With such a record book, isn't it clear at a glance?"

"If Your Majesty thinks it's okay, let the paper mill do it, and in the future, the account books of our Daqin departments will be much simpler and more trouble-free."

After a slight pause, without waiting for the monarchs and ministers to completely digest the news, Zhang Han added: "There is also a booklet dedicated to recording accounts, which is similar to this form." ”

"It's just that there is a difference in the details, if Your Majesty is free to go to Huazhang Palace, the minister will take it out for you to take a closer look."

"Your Majesty, why don't I go to Huazhang Palace now?"

Li Si and Meng Yi couldn't wait to look at Ying Zheng, "The minister really wants to see the true face of these brochures that His Royal Highness Hua Zhang has made." ”

"It's also good to use these pamphlets in the military."

Wang Jian also answered, and his cloudy old eyes flashed with excitement, "If you have such a booklet, you don't need to carry a large number of bamboo slips to march." ”

Wang Ben, who was summoned to dine together, also looked at His Majesty with his father and son.

Everyone is looking forward to His Majesty's decision.
