Chapter 170: Let's take in a few more students


The next day, Xiaobai regained his spirit and went to the village with the bell.

"She's here to show off."

Zhang Shuhui said Xiaobai's purpose in one sentence.

The bell is now very big, and in Fangjiazhuang, it is often met with the dogs raised by those farmers, so after several battles, the bell has established the status of the dog boss of Fangjiazhuang.

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

"Young Master, Yao Ping is looking for you."

When he arrived at the front yard, Yao Ping saw Fang Xing and arched his hand: "Teacher, our Lord Shangshu invites you to go." ” Xia Yuanji?

That old pick, what are you looking for me?

"Promoted?"

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

Yao Ping said gratefully: "I only did it yesterday, and the disciple is now the treasure money lifter, which is the teacher's kindness."

The disciple asked for this errand today because he wanted to invite the teacher to dinner. ” Fang Xing walked out and said, "This dynasty is not high, you still have a small family to support, don't engage in these crooked ways." ” Yao Ping smiled dryly and said, "The disciple also took over a job in the account office in private, but he has some savings, and he asked the teacher not to dislike it." ” "Oh!"

Fang Xing stopped and looked at Yao Ping fixedly.

Yao Ping was worried that he would be reprimanded.

But Fang Xing had a smile on his face, patted him on the shoulder and praised: "Yes, although it doesn't agree with reason, it's good that you can put down your body and make a living!"

” The Zhu family is probably the most unfriendly royal family to officials in the past dynasties, and the low level of income makes those officials, especially Beijing officials, complain.

Yao Ping couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and got on the horse with Fang Xing and rushed to the household department.

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

In the past, it was not far away from the head of the house.

The household department is the majority, and the responsibility is heavy.

And Xia Yuanji, who is still a scholar, is the money bag of the Ming Dynasty.

Xia Yuanji is a thin middle-aged man, and he always has an anxious look on his face, which makes people know at a glance that this person is very busy.

After seeing Fang wake up, Xia Yuanji put down the information in his hand, took a sip of tea, and then said with a wry smile: "When Dehua sees me like this, he should know how difficult the officials of the household department are." ” Fang Xing replied respectfully: "I have an adult here, so I have gone through many engineering battles. ” These words are not exaggerating, with Zhu Di's eloquence, if it weren't for the Xia Lao in front of him, it would be impossible to say that Emperor Yongle might become the second Emperor Yang of Sui.

Xia Yuanji smiled and said, "It's over, I've just done my duty." ” After a few words of gossip, Xia Yuanji said with a straight face: "Dehua, I invite you here today for the liquidation of my household department. ” Why are you looking for me for the liquidation?

Fang Xing put on a deaf look.

"Yao Ping and the others have played a big role in my household department since they learned arithmetic from you, so I want to ask you to accept a few more students, how about it?"

"This ......"

Fang Xing was a little moved, but he also felt that it was too troublesome.

"Lord Xia, I have to say a question."

Fang Xing began to make excuses: "Do you want to teach it quickly?"

It's still like Yao Ping to learn slowly. ” "The sooner the better, of course!"

Xia Yuanji's eyebrows became more anxious: "There are many affairs this year, and my household department still has to budget for the grain, grass, baggage and other things for next year's northern expedition, and I can't delay it!"

” Fang Xing spread his hands and said: "Then unless they relearn the counting symbols, otherwise I will also be a good woman who has no rice!"

” Xia Yuanji nodded and said: "This is a trivial matter, I have read the big food number you said, it is really easy to use, and it is easy to write, but there is a little bit of it, it is easy to tamper with." ” Arabic numerals are like that, say 6 and 8,.

In a place like the household department, once the data is tampered with, the consequences will be lost.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the famous 'Guo Heng corruption case' was tampered with by using the simple counting method of one, two, three, and the amount of corruption reached the total amount of taxes in the Ming Dynasty.

Later, of course, a big case was set off, and countless heads fell to the ground.

Fang Xing smiled and said, "Lord Xia, have you forgotten my Da Ming's counting symbol?"

Annotate the important data with the current counting method. ” Xia Yuanji was annoyed and said, "I forgot." ” The Ming Dynasty used to count in the form of one, two, three, but after the Guo Huan corruption case occurred, Zhu Yuanzhang used the counting method created by the former Tang Wuhou.

——One Two Three Wants......

"But I still have to go to Your Majesty to report this matter, if Your Majesty agrees, then start with my household department!"

Xia Yuanji was an anxious man, and he ran away before he finished speaking, leaving Fang Xing alone in the household.

Fang Xing saw that the officials of the household department were accustomed to it, so he had to walk 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 around happily, but saw the familiar old man.

"I said, uncle, why did you get to the household department too?"

Now is the busiest time for work, there are almost no people outside, Fang Xing hurriedly beckoned to the old man: "Hurry up, this is the imperial city, if you accidentally collide with a big official, you will have to be beaten." ” There is a room outside the household, which is a place for the waiting staff to rest temporarily, and there is no one at this time.

After helping the old man sit down, Fang Xing poured him a cup of warm tea, and then said: "Uncle, this is the imperial city, you drink saliva and go back quickly, if you don't know the way, I will ask someone to send you back first." ” The old man pulled the hem of his clothes with his hand, covering his shoes, and then looked at Fang Xing with interest and asked, "I remember that you are white, but how did you get in?"

” "Hey!

That's a long story!

” Fang Xing said Xia Yuanji's intention to invite him, and then complained: "The efficiency of this court is also very slow, although the big food number is a foreign thing, but I should have a broad mind to absorb knowledge that can help me, instead of sticking to the old ways and sticking to self-style." ” The old man stroked his beard and said, "Then what do you think I should do?"

” "I must change the imperial examination, otherwise my scholars in the Ming Dynasty have all studied the eight shares, who will study firearms?

Who will study the good seeds?

Who is going to ......

Forget it, why am I telling you this!

” Fang Xing estimated that the time was almost up, so he went out to take a look first, and turned around and beckoned sneakily: "Uncle, there is no one outside now, you hurry up!"

” The old man Shi Shiran got up, and then instructed Fang Xing: "You stay, don't run around." ” After the old man left, Fang Xing disappeared for a moment, and when he came out, he had an extra bottle of drink in his hand.

"This Xia Laojiao, why has he been gone for so long?"

Gradually, after completing the tasks arranged in the morning, people from each yamen began to go out to run errands.
