Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Wen Daya wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, this minister is urging them!"

He turned around abruptly, facing the old men who were making calculations, he said angrily, "Quick calculation!"

The old men were sweating profusely, and their planning hands were shaking.

Some of the millions of acres of farmland around Chang'an are fertile, some are barren, and some are terraced fields on the mountainside.

The yield of each type of farmland is different.

I can only look at the field mu policy of Sinong Temple, the accumulation of each county.

Don't worry about collecting potatoes and corn, Li Er simply sat by the long table and watched them count.

Only when you get the number in your hand can you really feel at ease.

Leaning on crutches, Li Chengqian walked slowly, behind him was Xue Li on the left, and Li Yifu on the right.

"My son has seen his father!"

Li Eryi frowned, and said, "Nonsense! Your injury hasn't healed yet, how can you run around at will?"

He spoke harshly, but after all, he cared more about Li Chengqian, and asked the eunuch to bring a chair for Li Chengqian to sit down.

"What is the father looking at? Isn't the matter of food settled?"

Li Chengqian asked curiously when Li Er frowned.

"Don't mess around, what do children know?!"

Li Cheng pouted, and could only stretch his neck and look at the table.

After watching for a moment, he also understood.

"It turns out that the father is calculating the output, why didn't he tell the son earlier?"

Li Eryi stared, "What are you talking nonsense again? How can you meddle in the affairs of the state?"

"My son is not talking nonsense. If I let my son do the calculation, it won't take more than a cup of tea, and the calculation will be done, and the error will not exceed a thousand stones!"

A thousand stones may sound like a lot, but with millions of acres of fertile land, the error is extremely small.

Li Er was slightly taken aback, "Do you have a solution?"

Although now he has a lot more love for Li Chengqian, but he still thinks that he is still a child.

You may be able to figure out the big right and wrong, but the matter of learning is still too young.

The white-bearded old men present are all experts in arithmetic who have spent their entire lives in Sinong Temple!

Even if Li Chengqian had studied with Liu Bai for a while, could he still outsmart them?

"Father underestimated the son-in-law too much. If the son-in-law can figure it out, how does the father plan to reward him?"

Li Er stared again, subconsciously wanting to get angry.

Think about it.

Maybe, this brat really has a way!

These days, he has brought him many surprises!

After pondering for a while, Li Erdao: "What reward do you want?"

Li Chengqian grinned, "My good friend Li Yifu is still a white man, if I can figure it out, why not reward him with an official position, how about the emperor?"

Li Er glanced at Li Yifu.

Li Yifu immediately stood straighter than a javelin!

In his heart, he was so moved that he almost cried.

For him a few months ago, not to mention meeting the prince, even meeting the governor of Yingzhou was wishful thinking.

Now, I am only one step away from His Majesty!

This is an honor for my family's ancestral grave to smoke!

It's all thanks to the prince!

Seeing Li Yifu's "neither humble nor overbearing" appearance, Li Er was quite satisfied.

Of course he knew what Li Chengqian meant.

"This brat also knows how to cultivate cronies."

If it were any other prince, Li Er would definitely be angry.

But Li Chengqian did this, but he liked it.

A prince who doesn't like fighting will definitely not be able to be an emperor in the future.

Ambition and means are the necessary qualities to be an emperor.

"Okay! If you can figure it out within half an hour, I will seal Li as your own."

He coughed a few times and said, "What's your name Li?"

"The name of the grassroots is Li Yifu! In the academy, he is a student in the same dormitory as the prince!"

Li Yifu said loudly.

Li Er nodded, and then said to Li Chengqian: "I will seal Li Yi's mansion as the general manager of the East Palace!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Yifu almost fainted from happiness.

At the most glorious time of his ancestors, he was just a county magistrate from the eighth rank.

And Tongshi Sheren is a genuine sixth-rank official!

The ancestral grave is really smoking!

He wished he could put his arms around Li Chengqian and kiss him so hard!

"Okay! It's a deal, and the emperor will not be allowed to go back on his word when the time comes!"

Li Er's face darkened, he snorted, and said, "Who do you think I am? Would you lie to you children?"

Li Chengqian chuckled, stood up, and waved his hand.

"Hurry up and make room for the prince!"

A group of old men with white beards hurriedly stood up and gave the seat in the middle to the crown prince.

The old man next to him kindly gave up his abacus to the prince.

Li Chengqian glanced at him with contempt, pushed back the abacus, and said: "How can this crown prince use such a thing?"

With that said, he took the white paper over, picked up a pen and started writing!

Seeing that he was confident, Li Er was beating his heart.

"Could it be that this kid really has a way?"

He leaned closer, and when he saw what was written on the paper, his head suddenly became big.

What the hell is this all about?

A squiggly symbol followed by a cross.

What do two circles stacked together mean?

Li Er opened his mouth to ask, but seeing Li Chengqian's serious face, he stopped talking and stood behind him and watched.

Liu Bai wandered around the farmland and wanted to come up for a sip of tea.

Seeing Li Chengqian coming, they stood beside Li Er and watched him count together.

Snapped!

After watching for a few minutes, Liu Bai stretched out his hand and gave Li Chengqian the back of the head.

He pointed to a place, "I've been studying for several months, and I can even make mistakes in simple decimal points!"

Li Chengqian didn't take it seriously, scratched the back of his head and said, "What's wrong?"

Snapped!

Liu Bai gave him another slap, and said, "Take a closer look!"

Li Chengqian lay down on the table, checked it carefully, and then smiled sheepishly, "Sure enough, the calculation was wrong."

He painted a large black pimple on the paper and recalculated.

Li Er was confused.

What kind of knowledge is this?

Why didn't I understand anything?

What is the decimal point?

Time passed by every minute, Li Chengqian wrote and drew, and occasionally snapped his fingers, meditating on something.

After a cup of tea, he dropped the pen, patted it on the table, and said, "It's all done!"

Chapter 225 Li Er who is interested in arithmetic

Li Chengqian's more than half a year in Liu's house was not for nothing.

In fact, he had more schoolwork than anyone else.

The Four Books and Five Classics are the most basic. In addition, there are also learning poetry and songs, accounting and so on.

Even martial arts training is on his schedule!

Moreover, Wang Shouren taught him the emperor's mind!

On the contrary, after going to the academy, the schoolwork became much easier.

In Liu's house, Li Chengqian was almost half the master, except for the treasure house and Liu Bai's study, no one would stop him.

And the accounting room where Liu's family stores data is Li Chengqian's favorite place to stay.

There are not only the accounts of most of the Liu family's properties, but what interests Li Chengqian the most is the farmland records recorded by the Liu family!

As the largest landlord in Guanzhong, how can you do it if you don't know your own farmland?

Liu Bai specially arranged people to investigate the climate and soil quality of various places, and even the local rivers, the number of farmers, etc., were clearly recorded in the farmland book.

Li Chengqian, who just read the farmland booklets when he had nothing to do, naturally knew the situation in those places well.

He doesn't need to look up any information, he only needs to make a summary of the land, and he can easily calculate the output!

Li Er looked at the densely packed symbols on the paper, and his mind was a little dazed.

Up to now, he still hasn't figured out what Li Chengqian is doing.

The old men with white beards on the side also stopped and stretched their necks to look at the paper.

Li Chengqian said triumphantly: "There are more than 100 million mu of farmland around Chang'an, and the potatoes and corn produced are fully paid, 900 million shi!"

Li Er raised his head and glanced at Li Chengqian, his brows frowned into the word 'Chuan'.

He lowered his head again and continued to look at the 'ghost painting' on the paper.

"If you write and draw like this, can you figure it out?"

joke!

It took more than an hour for all the arithmetic experts in Sinong Temple to figure it out, but Li Chengqian only spent a cup of tea, and it was over?

"You're fooling me again!"

Li Er slapped the paper on the table and glared at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian had confidence in his heart, and this time he was not afraid at all.

"If father doesn't believe in his children, he should believe in elder brother Liu, right?"

Li Er looked at Liu Bai and said, "Liu Bai, tell me!"

Liu Bai glared at Li Chengqian, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the error in Chengqian's calculation is not too big!"

Li Er was taken aback, and subconsciously picked up the paper again.

"Why, I can't understand a single word?"
