Chapter 287 of the main text volume of Ruyi Little Man teaches "Going home?"
Han Ming, the right minister of the Ministry of Finance, stood up from his seat and said in disbelief: "You said Mr. Tang has gone home?"
The household clerk in front of him nodded and said, "Yes, as soon as the gong sounds, Chief Tang will go home."
Han Ming was startled, and then asked: "Where are those account books?"
"They were moved into the room and locked up." The clerk said helplessly: "The planners of the Duzhi Yamen have also gone home."
Han Ming looked at Fang Zhe beside him and opened his mouth, "Master Fang, this..."
"Mr. Han didn't remind me, but I almost forgot that I had been released from office..." Fang Zhe closed the book, stood up, and said with a smile: "Mr. Han, see you tomorrow."
"Ming, see you tomorrow..."
Han Ming watched Fang Zhe go out and sit back in his seat. He thought that the people of Sanyuanji had different thinking from ordinary people. This was true for Fang Zhe, and even more so for Tangning.
The household clerk said: "Master Han, what about the account books?"
Han Ming's eyes flashed for a moment, then he waved his hand and said, "Since Lord Shangshu has handed over the Duzhifang to him, let him go."
In the palace, somewhere.
"When the Du branch was accounting for last season's accounts, the doctor of the Du branch took half of the account book to Shangzhou." Chen Huang smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that things happened in such a hurry."
Qian Shuo, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, judging from the situation in previous years, Duzhi Yamen only has half of the plan left, and it cannot be completed within the deadline. Otherwise, it will be transferred to him from other parties.
Some plans, or extending the deadline for a few more days?"
"No need." Chen Huang waved his hand and said, "If he can't handle this matter well, what's the point of letting him walk six steps?"
Qian Shuo, the Minister of Household Affairs, bowed and said: "I obey the decree."
…
When Tangning returned home, only Xiaoru was waiting for him.
Su Ru walked out of the room and said, "Auntie asked us to go over for dinner today. My sister went over first. I'll wait for Brother Ning to come back together."
Tangning asked in confusion: "Didn't I go there yesterday? Could it be that something happened today?"
Su Ru shook her head and said, "I don't know, but my uncle seems to be very happy. We will find out when we go there."
Tangning and she left the house together and walked to the county government office. They saw a group of carriages and horses parked at the gate of the government office.
A servant was standing in front of the car, unpacking the large and small bags of things from the car and carrying them to the Yamen.
This formation does not look like unloading, but more like moving.
Tang Ning walked into the back office and saw two people standing in the courtyard. One was his father-in-law, and the other was no stranger. Zhao Zhijie, the former magistrate of Ngee'an County, has now been promoted to the magistrate of Ping'an County.
Although going from county magistrate to county magistrate seems like a demotion, Zhao Zhijie also jumped three levels in a row from Ngee'an County to Ping'an County. In Chen State, which already has a mature promotion path, this situation is rare.
Zhao Zhijie stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looked at Zhong Mingli, and said, "You are worthy of being the magistrate of Jingxian County. I haven't seen you for half a year, and your official authority is getting stronger and stronger."
Zhong Mingli glanced at him and said, "What are you, yours, your lord?"
Zhao Zhijie snorted coldly: "Zhong, don't think that just because you are a senior official is something special!"
Zhong Mingli looked at him and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, the first-level official is great, Zhao Xiancheng, you should be called Mr. Zhong..."
Zhao Zhijie looked at him for a long time, waved his sleeves and said in a stiff voice: "Master Zhong!"
Tang Ning watched this scene from a distance and thought to herself, no wonder he came over for dinner today. This Zhao County Prime Minister is an old friend of his father-in-law and mother-in-law. When he arrived in the capital, he should be given a banquet to welcome him.
As for the grievances and grudges they had when they were young, and why they always fell in love and killed each other with their father-in-law, although Tang Ning was also very curious, this was not something that a junior like him could inquire about.
In a county government, the county magistrate is the top leader, the county magistrate and the chief registrar are the assistant officials respectively, and the next lower level is the county captain.
The former county magistrate and county lieutenant are still in prison. The chief secretary of Ping An has been on the side of his father-in-law from the beginning. Now there is another county magistrate Zhao who wears the same pants as him. In this way, Ping An
The county government was in a state of disarray. His position within the county government was extremely stable, and there was no need for Tang Ning to worry.
He just needs to mind his own business.
Chen Langzhong took eight planners to Shangzhou, leaving less than ten people behind him. Judging from the past situation, his first errand when he entered the Ministry of Household Affairs must be done badly.
This incident happened by chance. The chief officer was transferred when Duzhiya was the busiest. It seemed that the Tang family's energy in the court was even greater than Tang Ning expected.
Weird conspiracies can be dealt with through intrigues, but such upright and well-founded troublemaking can only be eliminated with serious means.
Early the next morning, after he had breakfast, when he came to the Ministry of Revenue again, nine planners from the Duzhi Yamen were already standing in a row in the yard waiting.
Seeing him come in, a scribe came forward, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sir, you are finally here!"
Tang Ning glanced at them and asked, "If you don't work, what are you doing here?"
The scribe immediately said: "Sir, only if you give the order can we dare to open the box."
Tangning nodded and asked, "Tell me how you settled accounts in the past."
The clerk followed him into the duty room and said: "Sir, every quarter's accounting requires all accounts to be calculated several times. If the numbers calculated three times are the same, and the numbers of the remaining times are not much different,
Only then can you report it to the imperial court..."
Tang Ning probably understood that it was not enough to calculate these accounts once. The Account Department did not have a calculator, let alone a computer, and could not make exel forms. It could only calculate them one by one with an abacus. With so many accounts, there would always be miscalculations. Maybe
The result is different every time he calculates it, which is similar to the math problems he used to do...
After the scribe finished explaining, he immediately said: "My lord, time is urgent. I urge them to start now..."
"There's no rush." Tangning waved her hand and said, "Call them all over first."
Not long after, all nine planners from Duzhi Yamen stood in front of Tang Ning.
Tangning looked at them and asked, "Do you want to learn my mental arithmetic skills?"
A strategist was startled and asked, "Sir, are you willing to teach us?"
Master Tang's mental arithmetic speed is extremely fast, and he can be called the fastest man in the household department. Although they are destined not to be as fast as Mr. Tang, as the planner of the household department, who doesn't want to be faster?
Tangning shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter whether you are willing or not. Knowledge belongs to all mankind. If you want to learn, it doesn't matter if I teach you."
He picked up his pen and said, "But before that, you need to learn some basic knowledge."
Tangning picked up a pen and wrote on the paper: "First, you need to remember these symbols..."
Traditional Chinese numbers, such as zero, one, two, three, four, etc., are very troublesome to write. Tang Ning does not plan to popularize Arabic numerals to everyone, but these calculations must be taught. Learn to convert Chinese character numbers into
Arabic numerals can save a lot of time when writing.
Fortunately, these planners have been dealing with numbers all their lives and are very sensitive to certain concepts. Although it cannot be said that they can be mastered at a glance, after one morning's work, after Tang Ning's point-by-point guidance, I was able to use them skillfully.
Arabic numerals.
A strategist's eyes flashed strangely, and he murmured: "This kind of substitution method is completely unheard of, but it is simple and convenient, and it is perfect for counting..."
"I can guarantee that using this method can save at least 30% of the time!"
"Although it looks a little awkward, it really saves time and effort..."
…
Tangning looked at them and said, "Okay, you guys practice first. I have something to teach you this afternoon..."
Everyone bowed one after another: "Thank you, Lord Tang!"
Tang Ning nodded. If they want to complete the calculations within the stipulated time, it is not enough to teach them Arabic numerals. Although it is not difficult to calculate the household accounts, it is very tedious. You must teach them how to classify the income and expenditure.
Separate it so that it will be much more convenient when checking again and again later.
Lunch time was coming soon, and the lunch at the Ministry of Finance was even worse than that at the Hanlin Academy. He looked around, waved to a scribe, and said, "Come here..."
