Take the Warehouse To The Great Ming

The next day Xiaobai regained his energy and went to Zhuangshang with the bell.

"She is going to show off."

Zhang Shuhui expressed Xiao Bai's purpose in one sentence. The bell is already very big now. In Fangjiazhuang, he often meets the dogs raised by the farmers. After several battles, the bell has established the position of Fangjiazhuang's dog boss.

Fang Xing didn't care about it. He was the boss of Fangjiazhuang, so of course the dog he raised was also the boss of the dog.

"Master, Yao Ping is looking for you."

In the front yard, after seeing Fang Xing, Yao Ping said, "Teacher, our Master Shangshu invites you to come."

Xia Yuanji?

Why are you looking for me?

"Promoted?"

Seeing that Yao Ping's clothes were different, Fang Xing asked.

Yao Ping said gratefully: "It was only done yesterday. The disciple is now a treasured note lifter, and it is all the teacher's kindness. The disciple asked for this errand today, but also wanted to invite the teacher to dinner."

Fang Xing walked out and said: "Your salary is not high. You still have a family to support. Don't engage in these crooked ways."

Yao Ping smiled dryly and said, "The disciple took a job at the accountant in private, but there are some savings, so please don't let the teacher dislike it."

"Oh!"

Fang Xing stopped and looked at Yao Ping steadily.

Yao Ping was up and down in his heart, worried that he would be reprimanded. But Fang Xing had a smile on his face and patted his shoulder in praise: "Yes, although it is not reasonable, but you can put down your body and seek a life, it's great!"

The Zhu family is probably the most unfriendly royal family in history. The salary is so low that the officials, especially the Beijing officials, are complaining.

Yao Ping was overjoyed when he heard this, and drove to the Ministry of Households with Fang Xing.

All the way into the imperial city, Fang Xing saw that the people at the door had changed when passing by the Ministry of War.

Not far from the past is the Ministry of Households. The Ministry of Households is the most important part and has heavy responsibilities. As Shangshu, Xia Yuanji is Daming's pocketbook.

Xia Yuanji was a thin middle-aged man with an anxious expression on his face, which made people know that this person was very busy at first glance.

After seeing Fang Xing, Xia Yuanji put down the information in his hand, and was bored when he picked up the tea, and then smiled bitterly: "Dehua sees me like this, so he should know how the official of the household department is not good. Got it."

Fang Xing replied politely: "I am Daming with an adult, so I have gone through many engineering battles."

These words are not just exaggerating. Based on Zhu Di's prowess, if it weren't for the old Xia in front of him, it would be impossible to say that Emperor Yongle might become the second emperor of Sui Yang.

Xia Yuanji's beard smiled and said, "I've passed the award, I just did my duty."

After a few gossips, Xia Yuanji said sternly: "Dehua, I invite you to come today for the liquidation of my household."

Why are you looking for me for the liquidation of the household department?

Fang Xing put on a respectful look.

"Yao Ping and several people have played a very important role in my household department since they learned arithmetic with you, so I would like to ask you to accept a few more students, how about?"

"this……"

Fang Xing was a little moved, but some found it too troublesome.

"Master Xia, there is a question I have to say."

Fang Xing began to make excuses and said, "Do you want to teach quickly? Or learn slowly like Yao Ping."

"Of course, the sooner the better!" Xia Yuanji's anxious expression between his eyebrows became more serious: "This year there are so many things, and my Ministry of Household has to budget for the grain, grass, and other items to be levied in the north next year. It can't be delayed!"

Fang Xing stretched out his hands and said, "Unless they re-learn the counting symbols, otherwise I am a clever woman who can't cook without rice!"

Xia Yuanji nodded and said: "This is a trivial matter. I saw the big eclipse number you mentioned, and it is really easy to use, and it is easy to write, but it is a little bit easy to tamper with."

Arabic numerals are like this, for example, 6 and 8. In places like the Ministry of Households, once the data is tampered with, the consequences will be lost.

The famous "Guo Heng Corruption Case" in the early Ming Dynasty was tampered with simply by using the counting method of one, two and three. As a result, the amount of corruption reached the total amount of the Ming Dynasty Autumn Tax.

Later, of course, there was a big case, and countless people fell to the ground.

Fang Xing smiled and said, "Master Xia has forgotten my Daming's counting symbol? Just use the current counting method to remark on important data."

Xia Yuanji said with annoyance: "I forgot."

Daming used one, two and three to count before, but after Guo Huan's corruption case happened, Zhu Yuanzhang used the counting method created by the former Tang and Wuhou.

——One Two Three Four...

"But I have to go to your Majesty to report this matter. If your Majesty agrees, then I will start to change it from the Ministry of Households!"

Xia Yuanji was impatient, so he ran away after finishing talking, leaving Fang Xing alone in the household.

Fang Xing looked at what the officials of the Ministry of Households were accustomed to, and had to wander around slowly.

Slowly, Fang Xing slipped to the outside of the household.

"Fang Xing?"

Fang Xing was bored, and when he heard someone shouting, he turned his head happily, only to see the familiar old man.

"I said, old man, why have you also been to the household department?"

Now is the busiest time for work~www.NovelMTL.com~ There are almost no people visible outside, Fang Xing hurriedly waved to the old man and said: "Come here, this is the imperial city. If you accidentally collide with any official, you must You have to touch the board."

There is a room outside the household department. This is a temporary rest place for the staff waiting to do the work. There is no one at this time.

After helping the old man to sit down, Fang woke up and poured him a cup of warm tea, and then said, "Old man, this is the imperial city. If you drink your mouth water, go back quickly. If you don't know the way, I will ask someone to send it. You go back."

The old man pulled the hem of his clothes with his hands to cover his shoes, then looked at Fang Xing with interest and asked, "I remember you are white, but how did you come in?"

"Hey! It's a long story!"

Fang Xing explained Xia Yuanji’s intention to invite himself, and then complained: "The efficiency of this dynasty is also very slow. Although the eclipse figures are foreign, but I should have a broad mind to learn and help. Own knowledge, rather than stick to the old ways and cling to it."

The old man stroked his beard and said, "Then what do you think I should do, Daming?"

"I must change the imperial examination, otherwise my scholars in Ming Dynasty will study stereotypes. Who will study firearms? Who will study fine varieties? Who will go... Forget it, why should I tell you this!"

Fang Xing guessed that the time was almost up, so he went out and took a look, then turned around and beckoned furtively: "Old man, there is no one outside now, you go quickly!"

The old man Shi Shiran got up, and then asked Fang Xing to say: "You stay here, don't run around."

After the old man left, Fang Xing disappeared for a moment, and when he came out, there was an extra bottle of drink in his hand.

"This old man Xia, why have you been there for so long?"

Gradually, after finishing the tasks arranged in the morning, people from all yamen began to go out to do errands. (To be continued.)
