"Your Highness, those who live in Anyi City are not the richest!" Yi Zong reported: "The real rich people in Hedong all build their houses in the mountains and forests, dig the ground into ponds, and have access to salt and iron houses as large as those of princes.
Merchant and grain merchant!"
Liu De was also surprised when he heard this.
In his previous life, the richest family he had ever seen in the Hejian Kingdom had only 10 million yuan in wealth.
It’s normal just to think about it.
At this time, the Cheng Zheng family and the Zhuo family in Linqiong were the real wealthy people.
An example can illustrate how much money these two people have.
In her previous life, Zhuo Wenjun sold wine as a coward and forced her father to help Sima Xiangru with the money.
How much money did her father spend?
The answer is one hundred slaves and one million dollars...
When a coal boss in later generations married his daughter, he was given a dowry of 30 million, which was jaw-dropping, but compared to Zhuo Wenjun's father's generosity, it was still not enough!
You know, at that time, the Zhuo family did not recognize Sima Xiangru as his son-in-law. He only supported the lives of the couple and did not allow the young couple to sell wine, which would lose the face of the Zhuo family...
Thinking like this, Liu De said: "You go and prepare, arrange the accompanying guards, wait for my order, and let's go out for a walk together!"
"No!" Ning Cheng and Yizong paused and bowed.
Liu De continued to move forward and came to the lobby of the county governor's office.
Here, the master's father Yanzheng, together with the chief clerk of the county governor's office and the officials responsible for accounting calculations, are waiting for Liu De's arrival.
"Your Highness!" As soon as he saw Liu De arriving, Master Fuyan immediately stepped forward to greet him. At this time, Master Fuyan's eyes were bloodshot and his hair was a little messy. It was obvious that he had not slept all night last night.
"How's it going?" Liu De asked.
"Back to Your Highness, the deficit is very serious..." Master Fu Yan sighed and said: "Although I haven't checked all the accounts yet, judging from the current situation, not only the root warehouse has a big problem, the wet warehouse is also about the same
…”
Now that Zhou Yangyou was captured, Liu De of course wanted to know what was going on with the fire in Gencang, so he arranged for his master Yan to come and check the account of the Hedong County Sheriff's Yamen. Liu De believed that no matter how cunning Zhou Yangyou was,
, No matter how much evidence is obliterated, one thing is, the numbers do not lie. How much grain was transported by Gencang and how much was spent are all recorded. Fire can only burn the physical objects, but it cannot destroy the recorded items.
Numbers, especially advanced skills such as falsifying accounts, have not been learned by bureaucrats at this time.
So Liu De knew that he would be able to find the problem from the county guard's Yamen's current accounts and escort records.
really!
It only took one night to find out!
Liu De patted his father Yan on the shoulder and said: "Thank you for your hard work. The Qing family should first find out how much the deficit is and sort out the accounts. When my father comes, I will submit it to you!"
Of course Liu De knew that if he hit a snake, he would be killed.
Zhou Yangyou still has a glimmer of hope, just in case, Liu De must nail him to death!
Moreover, a large number of corrupt officials can be purged by investigating the problems of root warehouses and wet warehouses.
As for whether those guys will resist and fight back?
Liu De now wished they could resist and fight back.
At this time when the emperor's imperial chariot is arriving in Hedong, whoever comes forward will die!
No matter how powerful or large the bureaucracy is, it is no more powerful than tens of thousands of swords and no more powerful than thousands of cavalry.
Liu De walked up to the officials who were nervously counting the numbers on the bamboo slips with their calculations. He looked over them briefly and had to admit that Zhou Yangyou was still capable.
At least, these capable officials are not common even in Guanzhong.
Thinking again about Liu De's examination, Zhou Yangyou was the first to react and follow up, which shows that this person still has merit.
But, who told him to touch Liu De's reverse scale?
When officials are greedy, they take a little bit. As long as it is not excessive, Liu Decai doesn't bother to care!
Whenever you want officials to be greedy and take things for granted, it is almost a dream!
But he actually used the life and death of the people as a means of struggle. No wonder Liu De refused to give him face and must kill him. What's more, he blocked Liu De's way, and he deserved to die!
But look at these officials holding calculation chips and calculating.
Liu De thought to himself: "Maybe it's time to invent the abacus and the abacus formula..."
The abacus is quite simple. Any time traveler can basically make it as long as he has been to elementary school.
The key is the abacus formula, which stumps Liu De.
When Liu De traveled through time, it was the era of the explosion of the Internet. Everyone was squatting on the computer and all of them were otakus. When they encountered a problem they didn’t understand, they could solve it directly. Who would still use an abacus?
Now Liu De can only remember three times and five times to divide two, four times and six times to add one...
In his previous life in the Hejian Kingdom, he had found someone to create an original version of the abacus formula, but due to limited manpower, material resources, and influence, he had not been able to popularize it.
With so many talents and top think tanks in this life, Liu De felt that it would not be a big problem to come up with a mature abacus formula similar to the abacus formula of later generations based on the original version of the abacus formula.
"Well... we can start this matter after we return to Chang'an..." Liu De thought in his mind: "It will be of great use during the autumn harvest, and the audit next year will be an opportunity to promote it!"
Never underestimate the abacus!
Liu De remembered that he once watched a documentary, which showed that many calculations of the two bombs and one satellite of the later dynasty were done with abacus!
Even high-end technologies such as atomic bombs and rockets can be calculated using an abacus. In this era, what other problems can stump an abacus?
……………………………………………………
After leaving the county guard's office hall, Liu De continued non-stop to the county lieutenant's mansion next door, summoning all the Hedong county soldiers and officers above to discuss arranging the greeting ceremony and security work for his father when he crossed the river.
Since ancient times, when the emperor went on patrol, not only were the emperor's guards closely guarded, but the reception and greetings at places along the way were also not careless at all.
Especially Liu De is now in Hedong, personally presiding over the reception and preparations for the welcome.
This is related to the more serious relationship between father and son, monarch and ministers, and there is no room for any flaws.
Liu De knew very well that every emperor was sensitive and suspicious.
His father is the leader among them.
Dad seems to love and trust him quite a bit now, but if he ever gets upset with him, all this love and trust will soon disappear and be replaced by indifference and ruthlessness!
Therefore, the welcome ceremony must not only be grand, but also perfect, so that dad can feel his sincerity and respect.
Fortunately, with Yuan Ang at his side, these things that Liu De had never touched before were suddenly in order under Yuan Ang's guidance and arrangements.
After arranging all the details, Liu De raised his hands and paid tribute to the generals: "In all these arrangements, I ask you all to cooperate with each other closely so that as soon as my father arrives in Hedong, he will know that he will be supported by the soldiers and people of Hedong.
Love, the people admire His Majesty’s will!”
"Promise!" All the generals bowed: "I will remember His Highness's orders carefully and will not let them down!" (To be continued...)
