As soon as this statement came out.

Emperor Hongji was dumbfounded.

Originally...... He came here to give Fang Xiaofan a small knock, but after all, this kid was raised by himself and Empress Zhang, but it was good for her not to come to the cabinet to cause trouble.

But......

Such arrogant words, from the mouth of a young girl, are completely different.

This really treats Tobe as a soft persimmon.

Li Dongyang's face was dark.

What a shame.

Li Dongyang still has a bearing after all, although his face is ugly, he just smiles.

Emperor Hongzhi reacted quickly, happy, and couldn't help but think in his heart, I couldn't find a reason to transfer you out of the cabinet, so he smiled and said: "Xiao Fan's tone is not small, but what if you lose?" ”

Fang Xiaofan said: "Please ask Your Majesty to dispose of it at will." ”

"Okay." Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian and others glanced at each other, confirmed their eyes, everyone has changed from surprise, to a little eager to try, Emperor Hongzhi said: "What I have taken is your newborn calf's sharp spirit that is not afraid of tigers." ”

"You might as well be so, you said that you want to compare with the entire household, I can't deceive you, Li Qing's family, among the households, who is good at implicating and calculating?"

Li Dongyang said: "Sun Xiao, the director of money and grain, is good at this. ”

Emperor Hongzhi bowed: "Order him to come here and bring two more adjutants." ”

"Yes."

On the other side, Fang Xiaofan asked people to go to the workshop to get the form.

When Sun Xiao arrived, he heard that His Majesty was going to let him and Fang Xiaofan calculate the money and grain, he was confused, glanced at Fang Xiaofan, and hurriedly bowed down: "Your Majesty, minister...... Poetry and books heirloom, the title of the gold list, the sea has been up and down for more than ten years, His Majesty did not give up, entrusted with the position of the head of the Qing Officials Division, by this grace, the heart is not trembling for a day, walking on thin ice, lest there be a heavy trust of His Majesty, just ...... Just ......"

He looked at Fang Xiaofan again.

The implication is......

I have been a family heirloom in poetry and books, and I have been in the title of the gold list for more than ten years, I am a decent person, how can I compare this with a female doll, my Sun Xiao has calculated the accounts for half a lifetime, isn't this a joke?

Emperor Hongzhi coughed: "I have made up my mind...... Come, see the accounts of the Jiangxi Political Envoy for this year, in duplicate, let them make their own calculations, I asked you to bring two adjutants, let them assist you. As for Fang Xiaofan, I know you're a good arithmetic......"

Fang Xiaofan shook his head like a rattle: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't count it himself, but in the past few days, he has trained a few scribes, just let one of the scribes do the calculation." ”

"Poof......" Sun Xiao was about to squirt out a mouthful of old blood.

I'm a decent person who inherits poetry and books.

Let the old man be in charge of one thing, and bring two adjutant officers to compare with a little scribe?

What's more, the old man is still in the household department, which is the duty of the old man.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and looked at Liu Jian and the others.

Now it's okay, there is a reason to let Fang Xiaofan go back to be her county lord.

Emperor Hongzhi said simply: "Yes!" ”

It's accurate.

Then, someone took the case.

Fang Xiaofan randomly picked a scribe.

When the scribe saw the emperor by his side, he trembled, afraid that he would have such a highlight moment for the rest of his life, he obediently knelt behind the case, and what he held up was a charcoal pen.

After a while, the money and grain book of the Jiangxi political envoy arrived.

It's a bunch of them.

Emperor Hongzhi sat steadily, looking bored.

Liu Jian and the others also sat down, as if relieved.

Fang Jifan and Fang Xiaofan stood behind the scribe.

Immediately after, Fang Xiaofan took out the form.

This is a blank sheet of paper, and the paper is printed with different spaces on the x and y coordinates.

Fang Xiaofan said: "You don't have to be nervous, according to the method taught you, you fill in the numbers, and then, use the formula to convert, remember the different formulas I taught you, you just calculate according to it." ”

"Yes."

The scribe spread out the reports.

He exhaled, and then took out the money and food book, and filled in the different boxes one by one.

He holds a charcoal pencil, which looks very delicate, and he only cares about filling in the blanks.

On the other side, Sun Xiao, with the assistance of the two adjutants, quickly dialed the abacus, calculated the numbers one by one, and then continued to dial the plan.

From beginning to end, the scribe did not dial the plate, and he was still in the sky.

He quickly filled in all the numbers in a book, and then ...... Only then did I take out the draft.

Occasionally, he would do the math, but more often, he would write and draw on the draft for a while.

Fang Xiaofan was behind, muttering a few words in a low voice, as if he was instructing.

If you want to calculate the taxes that the Jiangxi political envoy has put into the treasury, I am afraid that it will not be completed in one day.

This made Emperor Hongzhi realize that he should not take the money and grain books of a province, only one county is enough, and now it is good, but he still doesn't know how long he will stay here.

Liu Jian and the others were secretly happy.

…………

More than two hours passed.

Emperor Hongzhi was already empty, and Xiao Jing took refreshments very interestingly.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "You might as well do this, stop for a while, let's use some food first." ”

"No need." The scribe lowered his head, probably too attentive, he didn't look up at Emperor Hongzhi, his eyes still fell on the various reports, he said infatuatedly: "It's almost over." ”

Fast...... Calculate...... Finish...... Finish!

Emperor Hongzhi originally picked up the teacup, but put the teacup down.

This...... How can it be.

Fang Jifan stood on the side, stealing fun.

Sure enough, Fang Xiaofan was still enlightened, he didn't inspire her in vain.

In the eyes of later generations, this thing looks easy and has no technical content, but in fact, this thing is definitely a big killer of statistics in this world.

This is the same as the person who used the original burning stick met the killer armed with an AK47, and the result was ......

Fang Jifan mourned for Sun Xiao in silence.

At the beginning, why didn't I think about it and make a report?

If there is a report, the efficiency improved, whether it is for the court or the workshop, is an artifact-like level.

At this moment, the scribe stood up, and he exhaled a long breath: "Your Majesty, it has been calculated. ”

Sun Xiao sitting on the side: "......"

After a short silence, his face was gloomy, he was a decent person, and he was also the head of money and food, and three people bullied a scribe, it was already a victory, this ...... How is that possible?

He couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible, he must have known the number in advance, and the minister dared to use the black yarn on his head to guarantee it, in less than three hours, the number can be calculated, if it can be calculated, why do you need so many scribes in the household department?" ”

Dare to love that we are eating dry rice?

Emperor Hongji was also shocked.

He suddenly said, "Come, take the number." ”

The scribe didn't dare to slack off, and when he got up, he was scolded by Sun Xiaoyi, and he didn't dare to fight back, after all, his status was humble.

He picked up more than a dozen reports on the case, and then presented them to Emperor Hongzhi.

This...... What is it.

Looking at the squares on the white paper in his hand, the squares, the numbers.

Fang Jifan couldn't help but say at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister is here to teach you how to look at it." ”

He stepped forward, Emperor Hongzhi spread the report on the case, Fang Jifan lay on his stomach, and began to explain the relationship between the corresponding numbers of different coordinate axes with Emperor Hongzhi.

"Your Majesty, you see, this report is the money and grain storage situation of the Jiangxi Political Envoy Division, the figure for January is here, and for February... In its next grid, March ......"

"And here, the bottom line, isn't it clearly written in the X-axis, here is the word year, which is the total amount of all the money and food in the past twelve months. And the number of the cells after that, corresponding to the month, is the ring comparison, you see, in February it was 93,000 quintals, and in January it was 74,000 quintals, but alas...... Because there is no data from the previous year, you see, here on the Y axis, there is a line that says year-on-year, and here it is empty. This month-on-month figure is ......"

Emperor Hongji didn't understand X and Y.

In fact, Fang Jifan was also a little anxious, so he directly used the XY axis from later generations. If you knew this was the case, you could have chosen another term that would make it easier for people to understand.

But...... It doesn't matter.

The important thing is that your hand is constantly making strokes here, and this report itself is actually something that is very easy for people to understand.

Soon, Emperor Hongzhi understood what he meant.

The numbers, after he understood, were extremely intuitive and clear at a glance.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Why, the calculation will be faster than before." ”

"It's very simple, in the past, the counting was a little bit of calculation, and the data was very huge. However, in this report, the pre-prepared numbers are filled in first, and then several formulas are used to calculate according to different numbers, without adding or subtracting a little. ”

Emperor Hongzhi was thoughtful.

He took a statement of money and food.

Look at the number for each month.

And after each month, there is a month-on-month number, and the ups and downs of each month, I can see at a glance, and Emperor Hongzhi is a little stupid.

This thing...... I get it.

Not only that, but ...... Extremely interesting.

He took out the second report, which was the number of other losses......

I don't have to look for the number I want to find from the thick pile of numbers, but I only need to sweep my eyes, and the corresponding number will appear in my eyes.

This...... Not so much.

And most importantly......

Emperor Hongji gasped.

In the past, when I looked at the number, I looked at the back and forgot the front, so it was difficult to have a deep impression.

And this report is almost as if it was tailor-made for yourself.

For example, this month-on-month increase in February is 1.25% more than January.

In the past, this number was seen after it was seen.

But now, looking at the growth rate in this report, Emperor Hongzhi will subconsciously wonder why February has such an increase compared to January.

Isn't governing the country and leveling the world just the simpler and clearer it is, the better?
