"Your Highness... I'm back..." Zhang Yue walked to Liu Jin, bowed slightly, and then bowed to other colleagues in the official office and said, "Good you all!"

"Hello Shizhong Zhang!" He answered him with neat tribute.

Before he left Chang'an, he assigned two tasks to everyone - to find out the hydrological data of Xinfeng County; to find out the gentry and official class of Xinfeng County.

At the beginning, no one understood the profound meaning of these two tasks.

Until they start to mobilize their own strength to inquire about relevant information.

Gong Yu and other students used their status as students to transfer several carts of documents from Shiquge, Lantai and Jingzhao Yin.

All are reports from Xinfeng County.

A second-generation official like Sang Jun used his identity and resources to get hundreds of volumes of related information from the Grand Secretary.

An old man like Chen Wannian has used his advantages to get some data from many grassroots officials that he cannot report.

Then, everyone began to focus on sorting this information and data.

Only then did they realize Zhang Yue's power.

Almost all the information and information they searched were verified from the two forms Zhang Yue hung in the official office.

The number of officials in Xinfeng, the land area of ​​Xinfeng, the economic situation of Xinfeng, and the information they found can all correspond to the two tables made by Zhang Yue.

Everyone was finally completely convinced!

If you can do your work so meticulously, such a boss is certainly worth following!

What convinced them even more was that as they began to search and search and count relevant information.

Everyone discovered that before they knew it, the general and basic situations of Xinfeng County were quietly imprinted in their brains.

Now, even Gong Yu and others, as long as they close their eyes every day, the basic data of each township pavilion in Xinfeng County appears in their minds.

How many rivers are there in a certain township and how many streams are there?

What is the land situation? What is the population? What are the main crops? What is the burden on farmers every year?

Until this moment, everyone felt respect in their hearts.

The two tasks that Zhang Shizhong explained casually before leaving gave everyone a basic understanding of Xinfeng’s situation!

If he uses political skills like this, how can he not succeed?

"Shizhong Zhang is back..." Liu Jin took Zhang Yue's hand and walked into the main hall of the government office.

The sunlight shone straight in from the window, and the next to the form left by Zhang Yue before leaving was covered with various related cloth.

These are all cloths that the Tai students such as Gong Yu imitated Zhang Yue’s form and found and listed the relevant data they had found and counted.

After a closer look, there were about a dozen copies.

Combine the relevant data reported to superiors in Xinfeng County and the disclosed information.

Zhang Yue looked at these tables. Although the imitation was very imitated, it was already very good.

He walked up and looked up at the statistics above.

Liu Jin said from the side: "This is what I have done with you in the past few days. Please take a look at it, are there any problems?"

When he said this, Liu Jin was proud of himself.

Zhang Yue left for only a little more than four days, and he and the students of the Tai made the matter complete.

Although he used his privileges to mobilize many Lantai Shangshu to help.

But when he was doing this, he personally participated.

Therefore, I learned a lot of grassroots situations that I didn’t know before, and I hadn’t even heard of.

Now he can even have a rough impression of Xinfeng's specific situation.

For example, he could memorize the average land area, average tax burden and the main rivers of Xinfeng.

There is a sense of pleasure and accomplishment that can be seen in the whole county.

Zhang Yue looked at the situation listed on these cloths. Although it was a bit messy, the statistics were too complicated.

But after the space is strengthened, his computing ability and computing ability are simply a bug.

He found a piece of cloth, picked up the pen and ink, and then wrote it.

Soon, a brand new form was made.

"Your Highness and you guys have done a good job, but it's a little bit complicated. I have simplified it and roughly counted it..." He took the cloth and put it on the wall.

Liu Jin looked over with everyone, and immediately slapped the table and shouted happily.

Compared to their learning toddlers, they imitated the dozen forms they made.

Zhang Yue’s current table is clear at a glance.

"So that's how it can be..." Liu Jin murmured in his heart, feeling that he had learned something new.

The others nodded one after another.

Especially Gong Yu, Wang Ji and others, their eyes shone.

Even if they can only learn the techniques of making such forms, they will be able to manage the whole place in the future!

Compared to the forms they made.

The table in front of you is called real statistics!

Originally, the table they made was to count the land and officials one by one according to the township unit.

However, Zhang Yue gathered all the things on the table together.

Record one by one according to township and pavilion.

Next to the town pavilion, some strange symbols were written.

Although I don't know what it means, it looks amazing.

More importantly, now, just look at this table and the distribution of land and population in Xinfeng can be clearly seen at a glance.

"Zhang Shizhong, what do these symbols mean?" Liu Jin asked softly.

Symbols have been available in China.

For example, the ancient Book of Changes has sixty-four hexagrams of Yin and Yang, and each hexagram has a corresponding exclusive symbol.

The ancient tortoise shell diviner, astrology and Yin and Yang schools also have their own exclusive symbols to measure the ups and downs of fate and the direction of stars.

At the beginning, the Censor Erkuan and the Taishi Ling Sima Qian were jointly ordered to compile the "Taichu Calendar", and used a lot of professional knowledge and professional symbols from the astrology and Yin and Yang families to calculate the sun, moon and stars.

However, compared with the symbols in front of you, those symbols undoubtedly seem obscure. It is not as good as the simplified numbers and symbols that Zhang Yue made. As long as you explain it, you can understand the meaning of it.

Zhang Yue smiled and explained: "This is some simplified symbols and simplified numbers that I have studied for the sake of being lazy..."

“1234567890, corresponding to one, two, three, four, five, seven, eight, nine, respectively…”

"% corresponds to percentage,/corresponding..."

Zhang Yue explained the numbers and symbols appended to the table to everyone.

Everyone listened and thoughtful.

Just to be lazy?

I'm afraid it may not be!

Young people like Liu Jin and Gong Yu had strong acceptance skills and soon discovered that if these simplified numbers and symbols were used as calculations, they would probably be much more convenient than before.

only……

"Aren't the minister afraid of criticism?" Liu Jin asked.

"Who will criticize me?" Zhang Yue asked back.

If it were in other dynasties and eras with strict ideological confinement, Zhang Yue might have risks or besieged by others.

But in such a drastic dynasty as the Western Han Dynasty, he was not the only one who was innovative.

"Your Highness, before Zi ascended the throne today, Xiaozun was still written in the world. However, after Yuanguang, official script gradually became popular. Now Xiaozun has only a few nobles and scholars insisted on using it..."

"The former kings made writing to facilitate the people's use. The standard is to simplify the complexity..."

"During the three generations, knotting ropes were used to record events. When the Xiahou clan was about to record national affairs on the bell..."

"This is the inscription. The inscriptions are obscure and difficult to understand. The ancestors and sages of Zhou were invented. In the Qin Dynasty, more concise small and official script appeared..."

"In the opinion of ministers, words are just tools invented by the previous kings to use for the people to help educate and educate the people..."

"The simpler it is, the better it is to understand..."

"Especially the simpler the number and the corresponding calculation program, the better..."

When everyone heard this, they nodded secretly.

Especially Liu Jin, he agrees with what Zhang Yue said.

Because the Liu family is a family that loves change and likes to carry out changes.
