Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

This summer, the Tang Dynasty, which had just been founded, encountered a severe drought. Li Shimin drew a batch of money from the originally inadequate treasury to support Qianzhong Road, where the drought is the most severe, to alleviate his urgent needs. However, there are rumors that the governor of Qianzhou has been embezzled by embezzlement and has lost part of his life-saving money.

Li Shimin was furious and immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. Dong Gui, the assistant minister of the staff, is the official in charge of this matter. It only took him less than a month to hand in an answer sheet that made Li Shimin quite satisfied. Li Shimin was planning to give him a good reward later, but he didn't expect Li Xin to say that such an account would actually be checked in three days. This kind of playful attitude made Li Shimin very angry.

Li Xin saw that Li Shimin was really upset. In order to prevent him from getting hit by the board for a while, he quickly explained honestly: "Your Majesty doesn’t know anything. , All of which are single-entry bookkeeping that records the entry and exits one by one."

Hearing what Li Xin said, Li Shimin seemed to be somewhat famous. He didn't just criticize others casually, so he calmed down a bit and asked, "What then? You say this is called single-type....accounting. Fa, is there any problem?"

"Yeah." Li Xin explained, "This kind of accounting method is messy and difficult to investigate thoroughly, so it gives the officials below an opportunity. As long as a new accounting method is adopted, all accounts can be clear at a glance, greatly. Reduce the difficulty of checking accounts. According to my estimation, if all these accounts are sorted out according to this new method of bookkeeping, it will indeed be clear in three or two days."

Li Shimin looked at Li Xin suspiciously and said, "Is there anything like this?"

Li channel: "Of course. If your majesty doesn't believe me, I can show it to your majesty now."

Li Shimin didn't say a word, it was tacit approval.

The waiter was insightful and handed out some blank papers. Li Xin took the pen on the table, dipped it in ink, and carefully sorted out the original account in his hand.

"What text is this?" Li Shimin asked, pointing to the Arabic numerals written on paper by Li Xin.

Li Xin replied casually: "This is a number from Da Shi. I found that it is easier to write and calculate than our Da Tang number, so I learned it."

Da Shi is the old Arab city. By the way, Arabic numerals were not invented by Arabs. According to the research of later generations, it was the Indians who first invented the numbers, and then they were learned by the Arabs. They spread to all over the world along with the trade activities of Arab merchants. They were well-known to the world. Therefore, it was called Arabic numerals.

Li Shimin had never seen such a big eclipse text before, and wanted to ask what it was, how it should be used, and what conveniences it has. But seeing Li Xin's concentrated expression on his face, he also resisted not speaking, lest Li Xin used this as an excuse for a while, saying that he interfered with him.

Nearly an hour later, Li Xin finally sorted out the original of the account in his hand, and put it aside.

Li Shimin asked: "Alright?"

Li Xin shook his head and said: "I just used the double-entry bookkeeping method to sort out this account, and now I am about to start a thorough investigation."

Li Shimin said in a gentle tone: "Dong Gui took the household officials to check the accounts. It took ten days without recopying. Not to mention that if you check the accounts like this, you have to copy every account again. It takes only time. There will be more, how can there be less? For the sake of what you have said, not for the sake of eloquence, I will not hit you this time. You must be cautious in your words and deeds in the future..."

Li Xin smiled and said, "How about waiting patiently for me, your Majesty?"

Li Shimin frowned, and secretly said that he was planning to let Li Xin go this time, so why did Li Xin still not let him go? Is it possible that he really feels that he can check the accounts of three officials in only ten days in three days?

He was a little angry, and said: "Okay, then I'll wait. I want to see what you can find out!"

Li Shimin has decided that if Li Xin doesn't find out anything for a while, or if it takes too long, he must be beaten severely so that he can keep his memory long.

Li Xin smiled, did not speak, and bowed his head again to write his calculations.

Two quarters later, Li Shimin saw that it was almost time for lunch, so he planned to order the waiter to pass the meal to the imperial dining room. He estimated that Li Xin should not be able to check the account for a while, so it would be better to talk about it after eating.

Unexpectedly, Li Xin suddenly put down his pen and stretched out a long way: "It's finally over!"

Li Shimin frowned and said, "So fast? Tell me, what's the result? Don't think you can fool around. The accounts here are clearly explained in every book by Dong Gui. If it is not right, Take care of your skin!"

Li Xin smiled and picked up the full-character paper in front of him, coughed slightly, and said in a serious manner: "Jingguan year, February, tax revenue of 123,700... ..."

Of course, it is impossible to investigate corruption cases only for this summer's accounts. In fact, the twenty-odd books that the in-house attendant moved over recorded Qianzhou's financial situation in the past three years. The book that Li Xin pumped was recorded as part of Qianzhou’s finances last spring.

While listening to Li Xin's report, Li Shimin opened another memorial of Dong Gui. The one I just showed Li Xin was the impeachment memorial presented by Dong Gui this morning. The one that Li Shimin opened now is the memorial that Dong Gui submitted before to report on the investigation situation. A summary is made on each of the accounts so that His Majesty Li Er who read this memorial can tell Qianzhou. The situation is clear.

Soon, Li Faith finished his own results, and looked at Li Shimin fairly confidently: "How? Is it consistent with Mr. Dong's results? If not, I will count it again. Anyway, it is not him. I did the calculation wrong.” I wanted to be more certain, but Li Xin was still afraid that he might have copied or calculated something wrong, so he had reservations.

Li Shimin closed the memorial in his hand and silently took the piece of paper in Li Xin's hand. After looking at it, he found that he couldn't understand it.

Li Xin saw Li Shimin's reaction, knowing that he should be doing well, and he was relieved.

Li Shimin put down the piece of paper in his hand and said, "What kind of double-entry bookkeeping method plus big eclipse writing... is it so powerful? Where did you learn these weird things?"

It takes only two quarters of an hour to copy the account book for one hour.... There are a total of twenty-four accounts here. It takes two days to reorganize, but it only takes less than one day to calculate the result. Li Xin said it would take three days. Can it be calculated, it turned out to be true? This is still the result of him alone. If he were to help organize the accounts with two more people, wouldn't it be.........

Li Shimin was a little shocked.
