In the morning, Bozhou Department Hui Yuanyan was taking officials to reconcile accounts and check the accounts submitted by the Maritime Department and the Henan Road Weaving Department. In addition, there was also the account of the Qingmiao Loan issued by Rixingchang Guesthouse. Because it was of great importance, it also had to reconcile accounts.

Yuan Yan must check these books before the deadline arrives, and then write a memorial based on the facts and report it to the emperor.

Because of the heavy responsibility, Yuan Yan dared not be careless. He has been in charge of the official office these days and supervised the officials on-site to reconcile the accounts. Once the problem is found, it must be reported to him immediately and he will deal with it immediately.

Reconciliation involves calculation. It was originally a very quiet thing, but after all, there would be no loud noise during the calculation process. However, Yuan Yan was a little annoyed by the noise.

The culprit is some of his subordinates who are calculating the accounts. These officials use abacus to calculate the numbers, and the abacus beads are clattering. Some people say that the sound sounds pleasant, but for Yuan Yan, it is a noise.

Since ancient times, planning has been in the mainstream position of arithmetic. Although abacus has been heard from time to time, for Yuan Yan, this is a side-by-side path.

Although abacus does have advantages and is indeed faster than planning when arithmetic in large batches, Yuan Yan cannot accept it as long as there is the disadvantage of "noisy". He thinks that arithmetic is a very serious matter, and when the abacus sounds, it becomes philistine.

Merchants everywhere have become popular with abacus calculation (abacus) and the crackling sound of abacus beads is said to be like the sound of copper coins colliding. Yuan Yan thinks that such a metaphor is too merciful, so he has a little more repulsiveness about abacus.

But he had to admit that bead arithmetic is indeed efficient. After constantly improving abacus formulas, the calculation speed of abacus can be effectively improved. More and more officials can do abacus, which greatly facilitates his reconciliation and verification.

However, Yuan Yan still didn't like abacus. He couldn't stand the sound when he planned to do so, so he turned to the next door.

In the next room, Yan Zhiyi, the deputy envoy of the weaving in Henan Road, was reading a book. When he saw Yuan Yan enter, he only thought that the result had come out, but learned that the other party was coming "refuge".

Yuan Yan and Yan Zhiyi are old acquaintances. They were both in front of the imperial court many years ago. Of course, that happened more than ten years ago. Now, when you think about it, it makes people sigh.

When Emperor Xuan was alive, Yuan Yan and Yan Zhiyi were both internal historians, who had to take care of the matter and often accompanied the emperor. He watched with his own eyes how this young and willful emperor did whatever he wanted and how to mess with the country.

Yuan Yan and Yan Zhiyi have made suggestions for this several times, but the results are very few. The other party doesn't listen to the advice at all and does what they want.

Now, there is another young man who has a similar style of behavior. However, what makes Yuan Yan and Yan Zhiyi feel a little relieved is that this young man is quite reasonable. As long as he can convince the other person with reason, the other person will listen and change.

The premise is that you can speak the other person and the other person’s fallacies.

This person is of course the general manager of Bozhou, the inspector of Henan Road, the weaving envoy of Henan Road, the patrol envoy of the market, and the Bin Wang Yuwen Wen.

Yuan Yan didn't know what his old acquaintance Yan Zhiyi thought of King Bin. Anyway, he felt that King Bin and Emperor Xuan were a bit like him. He was self-righteous, arrogant, and proud of his behavior in violation of the norm, and he still did not repent.

Yuan Yan felt that King Bin’s current rational behavior might be pretending to be for King Qi. If King Qi was there, it would be fine. If King Qi was gone, it would be difficult for anyone to control King Bin. Even the successor King Qi may not be sure to control it.

This is similar to Emperor Xuan at that time. When Emperor Wu was there, Emperor Xuan was honest. When Emperor Wu disappeared, Emperor Xuan, who succeeded to the throne, was revealed and he was unscrupulous.

This is the conclusion that Yuan Yanxin reached. Of course, he would not tell anyone, but since he read a set of books, his view of King Bin has changed. The title of the set of books is "Teaching Outline", which is exactly the book Yan Zhiyi is now reading.

The "Teaching Outline" is a teaching outline compiled by famous scholars such as Liu Xuan and Liu Zhuo under the leadership of Bin Wang Yuwen Wen. It summarizes the knowledge points that need to be mastered at different stages.

If a student purchases the corresponding textbooks according to the contents of this "Teaching Outline", and under the guidance of the teacher, and conducts a step-by-step study according to the "Teaching Outline", the student has a high chance of becoming a talent in more than ten years.

What was the idea of ​​King Bin strongly presided over and compiled this set of "Teaching Outline"?

Yuan Yan couldn't figure it out before, but now he probably figured it out, because the imperial court has held exams in Huangzhou many times to select talents based on the test scores. The "Teaching Outline" compiled by King Bin is a powerful tool for this kind of examination selection system.

Nowadays, Yuan Yan and Yan Zhiyi have a set of "Teaching Outline" on hand, because they are not interested in this set of books, but because they shoulder heavy responsibilities and must be familiar with this set of books.

The court specially appointed the Henan Road inspector ambassador, King Wen of Bi, organized the Fourth General Administration of Qing, Xu, Bo and Henan to hold examinations in their respective autonomous regions after the autumn to select talents for the court, and at the same time demonstrated the court's desire to seek talents, so that Yingyan from all over Henan had the opportunity to serve the dynasty.

Among the five examiners in this exam, in addition to the two appointed by the court, the other three were the deputy envoy of Henan Road Inspection Le Yun, Yuan Yan and Yan Zhiyi.

With the talent and reputation of the three of them, it is not wrong to preside over such an exam. The problem is the formulation of the exam questions, because the examiner cannot actually decide all the exam questions.

Most of the test questions on the test paper are randomly selected from the "question bank", and the so-called "question bank" comes from the so-called "knowledge points" recorded in the "Teaching Outline".

So as an examiner, you must at least be familiar with this set of "Teaching Outline". The difficulty of the questions you have drawn by yourself cannot exceed the difficulty range of the "Teaching Outline".

Yuan Yan found this method of setting questions a little incredible. He believed that if the selection of exams becomes the norm or even institutionalized in the future, then in the long run, students will become nerds who can only deal with exams and study for the sake of exams.

But he had to admit that this method of setting questions is fairer, at least for students from the cold.

With the guidance of the "Teaching Outline", students of cold people can avoid detours when studying, spend less time, spend less energy, and master more knowledge.

As a result, Yuan Yan's view of King Bin changed more positively. Although the other party often speaks amazingly and has extraordinary words, he is at least down-to-earth in doing things.

The fallacies mentioned by King Bin now seem to make some sense...

Yuan Yan looked at the "Teaching Outline" on his case and fell into deep thought. At this moment, the official entered and brought reconciliation results to Yuan Yan and Yan Zhiyi:

As of five days ago, the Henan Road Weaving Department (including the branches under its jurisdiction) and textile linens, removed fractions of less than 100 pieces, totaling 718,500 pieces, and the verification was correct.

Yuan Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled at Yan Zhiyi on the side, "More than 710,000 pieces! Yan Gong, this is an amazing number!"

......

"I really didn't expect that the Henan Weaving Department will weave more than 710,000 linens this year, which is really amazing..."

In the Chang'an Palace, in the warm cabinet, Yuwen Gankeng sighed while eating snacks. The daughter-in-law sitting beside him smiled and said, "Didn't King Bin explain in detail in the matter memorial? What's more, Duke Yuan and Duke Yan decided not to be fooled."

"I know, it's just... it's incredible..."

Yuwen Gankeng still sighed that the "results" delivered by Henan Road Weaving and Construction Department this fall were beyond the expectations of many people, and even he could not believe it, because the number of "more than 710,000 horses" was indeed unusual.

In a war-torn Henan, more than 710,000 pieces of linen were weaved this year. What does this mean?

In the first year of the elephant, the rough amount of linen produced in various parts of the world was only a few million.

After ten years of war and everything is in chaos, Henan has not had much planting area compared to ten years ago. However, Henan has woven a linen with nearly 70% of the national linen production in that year.

This number is either faked by someone or...

It is King Bin’s “fallacies”, which is really worthy.

In the "Weaving and Deliberation Commentary", Wang Wang Yuwen Wen gave a detailed explanation of why the "achievements" of the Henan Road Weaving Department were so excellent this year. In short, King Wang Feng did not know how to spell it, and it was impossible for him to turn so much hemp out of thin air to use for textile fabrics. It was naturally "economic means".

There are many strong clans in various parts of Henan. These local snakes have a large number of tenant farmers, farmers and land under their names. According to the statistics of the government, the population and land under their names are basically unknown.

Perhaps the yellow book of the government records that "a certain village has two hectares of land", but in fact, "a certain village" has two hundred hectares of land.

Therefore, the amount of linen textiles counted by the government over the years is much lower than the actual output.

Nowadays, the Henan Road Weaving Department has used "economic means" to successfully include the hemp output that was not counted on the government books into the "purchase" of the weaving department, so this year the amazing result is almost 70% of the country's textile linen.

Looking at this outstanding achievement, Yuwen Gankeng was naturally quite moved. He felt that King Bin not only knew how to fight, but also had good business operations, and was indeed a pillar of the country.

Princess Qianjin was in a good mood when she saw her younger brother, and she was also very happy. Although Rixing Changguifang had redeemed the principal and interest of her investment in Qingmiao Loan not long ago, she was happy not because of the profit, but because King Bin performed well.

King Bin Ming gave her a gift, and she was entrusted by her to "blow the wind" in the emperor's ears. Now King Bin performs well, which means that the wind she blows is not a bad trend and is not afraid of others' gossip.

As she thought about it, the Qianjin Princess became more and more happy because her younger brother, the Emperor of Great Zhou, was about to be enthroned.

The empress is the granddaughter of Liang Shiyan, Duke of Jinxi County Liang and the daughter of Liang Shuxi, Duke of Jinxi County Liang. The process that should be taken after the booking has been almost done, while Liang Shuxi, Duke of Jinxi County Liang has now been promoted to the British Duke with his identity as his later father.

In a few days, the emperor would send envoys to welcome the Liang family into the palace. From then on, there would be a queen in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, there was some consideration in this marriage. The princess of Qianjin knew that her younger brother was the last candidate to restrain King Qi.

Being able to win over Duke Hui can at least make King Qi "calm" and not be urged by villains to do things with unpredictable consequences.

The Qianjin Princess didn't know how effective her younger brother chose, but she was working hard after all. She hoped that the emperor and King Qi could coexist and not go that far.

Yuwen Gankeng's wedding is approaching, and with the recent good news, he naturally became happy and talked to his sister for a while. Suddenly, an eunuch came in a hurry. Seeing this, he asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Return...Return to Your Majesty! Just now, the head of Duke Hui's Mansion sent someone to report, saying, "Say...Read the Duke Hui's death!"

Princess Qianjin was stunned when she heard this: "Ah? What did you say?"

"Duke of Hui died..."

The bad news brought by the eunuch made the daughter princess feel as if she was hit by five thunder. She didn't expect why her brother was so... so unlucky. It was like this last time, but it was still like this time.

Seeing his younger brother's stupid appearance, the daughter-in-law couldn't help but feel sad. The two sisters and sisters were speechless. Yu Wenhua, who was standing beside him, silently retreated from the cabinet and signaled a guard to follow him.
