Li Shimin

After taking a closer look, his expression froze immediately, and he looked at it solemnly.

The entire ledger is neatly divided into densely packed small grids with straight lines.

The top row, from left to right, is the date, February Yichou day, February Bingyin day, February Dingmao day...

In the column from top to bottom, on the far left are items that need to be calculated, such as cement, sand, small stones, steel bars, catalpas, craftsmen, labor, etc. (after each item, there is also a note on the price, Such as ten catties of cement for one penny! Ten catties of sand for one penny!)

The bottom grid is the total price written!

Then, in the small grid where the two intersect, there are a series of familiar numbers.

Although he had never seen this accounting method before, it was so simple and clear that he understood it after a little thought.

"Wonderful!"

After understanding it, Li Shimin couldn't help but praise it all over his face.

"It's so simple and clear. You only need to fill in the amount of materials such as cement, sand, and small stones used every day, and then calculate according to these prices. Finally, all prices can be calculated!"

"Back to Aye, that's right!"

Li Chengqian said proudly.

Before, he followed Li Shimin and looked at some account books sent by the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War, but those account books were extremely complicated, and he could not see anything unless he read them five or six times.

Who would have thought that with the table book algorithm in his hand, on one page, he could see the materials and labor consumed in more than ten days in a simple and clear way, and finally calculated how much money he needed to spend in total!

"Come on, Auxiliary Machine, Xuan Ling, you also take a look!"

Li Shimin handed the account book in his hand to Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji who were beside him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and the others who were already full of curiosity quickly took the ledger and read it carefully.

"My old Cheng, take a look too?"

On the side, Cheng Zhijie also pulled his body and squeezed past.

"You old thief Cheng, go and see your son!"

Fang Xuanling couldn't help shouting.

"Exactly, Su Guogong, Chu Si and the others are also calculating this kind of account book!" Li Chengqian said quickly.

"What can this beast figure out?"

Cheng Zhijie looked disdainful, but his eyes were still full of curiosity. After all, it was the account book written by his own son, and then he took it towards the account book in Cheng Chusi's hand.

On the side, Li Xiaogong, Du Ruhui and the others also took the ledgers in the hands of Li Chongyi and Du Gou, and looked at them seriously.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian showed a smug expression on his face, and explained.

"Aye, this way of ledger, the master calls it a table algorithm. One line represents the time and date, and one column contains the numbers of all materials and craftsmen. Then, look down from the time and date column , The materials and craftsmen consumed in this day can be clearly expressed.

Then, in the form of each material and craftsmen, and the money that the materials and craftsmen need to consume, multiply them again, and the total price consumed by these materials and craftsmen is calculated! "

After listening, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others all nodded slowly.

Only Cheng Zhijie and Li Xiaogong had doubts on their faces.

"Your Highness, why does my old Cheng not seem to be holding the account book of Jinwang's other courtyard?"

"Don't blame Su Guogong, Madam asked me to wait for each of us to calculate the accounts of one place. I calculated the accounts of the master's house, Chu Si calculated the accounts of the hog ring, Chong Yi calculated the accounts of the chicken ring, and my cousin calculated What Fang Yi counted was the duck pen, and what Fang Yi counted was the paddy fields..."

Li Chengqian quickly explained.

"I see!"

After listening, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others nodded slowly.

"Haha, I didn't expect to settle accounts with such a wicked person everywhere, and finally saved old Cheng some time!"

Then, thinking of something, Cheng Zhijie couldn't help but beam with joy.

And Li Xiaogong, Changsun Wuji and others also had joy in their eyes.

These bastards are all their heirs, and they must learn to calculate and read accounts.

But now, they can feel at ease with such a simple and clear ledger.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this form of accounting should be popularized among the Six Departments and the General Supervisor, the Shaofu Supervisor, and even the Hundred Officials!"

After putting down the ledger, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others hurriedly saluted Li Shimin.

"Exactly, Your Majesty, this kind of ledger is also needed in the army!"

Cheng Zhijie also said hastily.

"Gao Ming, you can make a copy of these ledgers in the future and present them to the old man. I want all the officials to have a look at how to record the ledgers!"

Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.

"My son obeys!"

Li Chengqian looked serious, and quickly replied.

Then, he continued: "Aye, these account books, my boy and others, are just the study books arranged by the master for us. You can copy them at will, as long as you don't copy the costs of cement, sand, and steel bars, that's fine!"

"Very good!"

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.

Then, I remembered something, looked up and looked around, a trace of doubt flashed in my eyes.

He asked Li Chengqian, "Where is Xuan Ba?"

"Back to Aye, the master and Ah Weng both went to the forging workshop, and the master invented another sacred object. Now, the master is bringing two craftsmen, Ying Qi and Wu Fu, to forge it. A Weng is carrying Li Xiong, Watch the fun from the sidelines!"

Li Chengqian could naturally guess what his Aye wanted to ask, and replied directly and in detail.

"Fairy?"

However, after Li Chengqian finished speaking, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others were full of curiosity.

Every fetish created by that King Jin is a weapon for the benefit of the people.

As for the Supreme Emperor next to him, that's fine.

As long as they can see the fetish, let alone being treated coldly, even if they are scolded, they are fine.

"Go, I'll take a look!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Immediately, a group of people turned around and walked out.

……

Chapter 238: Heavy Lifting!

Behind him, Li Chengqian was startled, and hurriedly chased him out.

Soon, a group of people came to the forge.

I saw that in an open space, Li Xuanzheng, Ying Qi and Wu Fu were concentrating on fiddling with some strange steel frames.

Li Yuan was sitting on a chair beside him, holding a black and white dumpling in his arms, watching with interest.

"I'm waiting to meet the Supreme Emperor!" "I've met His Royal Highness King Jin!"

"The villain pays homage to His Majesty, I have met all the adults!"

After some greetings, Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Xuan Ba, what is this thing?"

"Your Majesty, this thing is a jackhammer!"

Li Xuan explained.

"A jackpot?"

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were startled.

Before they could ask any questions, Li Xuan continued to explain: "The meaning of a thousand catty crane is that it only needs one person to operate this thing, and it can easily lift a thousand catty heavy objects."

"How does this make it?"

Li Shimin was startled.

On the side, Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and the others were also full of disbelief.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment, this thing will be prepared soon."

Li Xuan curled his lips, and said calmly: "After a while, after placing this thing on the construction site, His Majesty will be able to see the true use of this thing!"

As he said that, Li Xuan ignored Li Shimin and the others, and slowly made adjustments by himself.

Seeing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others could only slowly sit aside and wait quietly.

However, Li Xuan did not keep them waiting.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Chang walked in from the outside with a few craftsmen.

Then, under Li Xuan's command, everyone carried a few steel frames and walked to the construction site.

At this time, all the foundations of Li Xuan's courtyard have been completed.

Even the first floor of some houses began to be poured to be as tall as a person.

Many craftsmen built houses by stepping on iron frames with four legs.

Some craftsmen only stepped on one piece, while others stepped on two pieces, without any sign of shaking.

Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help being curious.

"Xuan Ba, what is that?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, those are all scaffolding, iron frames forged from steel and assembled. They can be disassembled at will, transported at will, and can be stacked on top of each other. The craftsmen stand on them, very stable!"

Li Xuan explained slowly.

"I see!"

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others behind him all nodded in astonishment.

"This kind of scaffolding is indeed an artifact of construction."

Hearing this, Li Xuan smiled lightly and ignored it.

And this time, Li Chang had already led the craftsmen, carrying the steel frame of the jack, to a house that had been built with a height of one person.

Afterwards, Ying Qi and Wu Fu hurriedly installed the jack with the craftsmen.

At this time, there was already a strong labor on the side, pushing a truck of concrete over, and pouring the truck of concrete into the vat that had already been prepared on the side.

Ying Qi and Wu Fu hooked the hook of the jack to the vat filled with cement, and lightly exerted force with their hands.

With shocked expressions on the faces of Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others, the vat filled with concrete was slowly pulled in front of the craftsmen on top.

"how can that be?"

Cheng Zhijie stared at the big copper bell-like eyes with a look of disbelief.

He looked around with his head down, picked up another large bucket at the side, weighed it in his hand, and then grabbed a hard worker who was pushing a small concrete cart.

Under the terrified eyes of the hard labor, he directly poured the concrete into the vat.

Then, lift the vat hard.

For a moment, I didn't mention it.

"Tsk tsk, old man Cheng, can you do it?" Li Xiaogong teased.

"Hey, don't make sarcastic remarks, you bastard, this vat weighs at least three hundred catties!"

Cheng Zhijie glared at Li Xiaogong, took a breath slowly, and tried again.

This time, with preparation, he slowly lifted the barrel.

Then, lift the vat under the hook.

Following the actions of Ying Qi and Wu Fu just now, he gently pulled the hook on the side, and the vat with concrete on the side quickly went up.

Playful, up and down, without any effort.
