Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 252 Ingenious Abacus

Li Xin figured out the joints in the blink of an eye. He sympathized with Cui Wenyuan and Wang Wenjian's experience, but he was helpless. In a sense, he was also a pawn in the big Shandong case, but it was not very eye-catching and no one paid attention to it.

He patted Cui Wenyuan on the shoulder and said, "It's all over. Maybe there will be a turning point someday."

Cui Wenyuan obviously didn't have much hope for Li Xin's words, he forced a smile and said, "I hope so."

As Li Xin's new advisor to the Ministry of Accounting, the first thing he should do when he takes office is of course to find the head of the Ministry of Accounting, namely the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting, Xiao Yu. But he was not familiar with the Ministry of Household Affairs, so he had to ask Cui Wenyuan to lead the way. Cui Wenyuan readily agreed.

The two of them passed several large rooms, which seemed to be offices, in which there were desks and chairs made by IKEA, bookcases and bookcases, and a series of furniture, and the crackling sound of abacus could be heard from time to time. Li Xin couldn't help but stop and look at it for a while. The officials in the office seemed to be very proficient in using the abacus. They flicked the dripping beads with their fingers like flying, and then quickly wrote the results on a piece of paper, so as not to forget.

Seeing such a scene, Li Xin felt relieved for no reason. When dedicating the abacus to Li Shimin before, he was worried that this never-before-appeared computing tool would be boycotted, but now it seems that there is no such thing.

Seeing Li Xin stop suddenly, Cui Wenyuan stopped for a while, and after seeing what Li Xin was looking at, he smiled and said: "Thanks to the abacus invented by the prince. In the past, when calculating taxes every year, a dozen or so people had to come together. Counting for eight or nine days, I was still so busy that I was so busy, but now it’s good, three or five people are enough to do the calculations, coupled with the double-entry bookkeeping method, the entry and exit of each stroke can be calculated clearly, and everyone is much more relaxed. "

As he spoke, he suddenly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "By the way, I would also like to thank the lord for donating so many desks and chairs generously. During this period of time, the number of people complaining about sore backs and neck pains has decreased."

Li Xin also laughed and said, "It's as long as you like it."

Good things, advanced things, as long as they appear around people in a suitable way, they will naturally be loved by people. Whether it is abacus and office desks and chairs, or pork and drama, this is actually the truth.

"Are there many people in the household department who know how to use abacus?" Li Xin asked casually.

Cui Wenyuan said without hesitation: "Of course there are many. Who would want to use abacus if they have an abacus? It is said that starting next year, all newcomers to the household department must receive training in using the abacus. If they can't learn it, the household department will not use it." of."

Li Xin nodded with a smile.

It seems that the abacus has gained a firm foothold in the household department, and it should gradually spread out in the future. Speaking of which, the accountant on the first floor and Zhao Ke are both good at planning. It seems that Datang, a conservative empire, has gradually undergone some changes because of the arrival of Li Xin.

Soon, the two came to the largest office in the east of the household department's yamen, and Xiao Yu was inside.

"Master Shangshu is inside. I won't go in, the prince can do what he wants." Cui Wenyuan finished his mission and said goodbye.

Li Xin nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."

"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. In the future, I will ask His Highness the King of Chu to advise me more." Cui Wenyuan smiled and left.

Li Xin looked at Cui Wenyuan's back, and secretly sighed that setbacks are really a shortcut to growth. Thinking of Cui Wenyuan's rebellious and rebellious appearance when he came to visit the Chu Palace last time, and looking at the gentleman's demeanor revealed in his actions now, it is really emotional.

When Cui Wenyuan walked away, Li Xin straightened his clothes, knocked on the door, and said, "Chu Wang Li Xin asks to see Lord Shangshu."

"Come in." A deep voice came from inside the room.

Li Xin pushed the door open and entered. It was a large, boxy room with a door facing south. A large desk is placed on the west side of the room, and the east side is full of bookshelves, full of volumes of albums. A long-bearded man of about forty years old sat behind the desk, closed the accounts in his hand, and put aside a delicate bordered abacus.

Noticing Li Xin's gaze on the abacus, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "His Royal Highness King Chu's abacus is unique and easy to use. I love it very much, so I specially asked a craftsman to make a pair out of red sandalwood."

Rosewood. Make an abacus.

The corner of Li Xin's mouth twitched.

"Sir Shang Shu likes the things that the boy tinkered with, the boy is not very honored." He said very humbly.

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "Why is His Royal Highness the King of Chu so modest? I'm afraid the ingenuity of this abacus cannot be summed up by the word 'toy'. This kind of ingenious tool is either made by the ingenious people with great effort, or it is the one with unparalleled wisdom. There is absolutely no third possibility for people to get it by chance. Just relying on this treasure can save a lot of manpower and material resources. The old man can assert that His Highness King Chu will be famous in history. Maybe no one will remember the old man after thousands of years. But someone must remember you, Your Highness King Chu."
