    The next day, Xiaobai regained his energy and went to the village with the bell.

    "She's going to show off."

    Zhang Shuhui revealed Xiaobai¡¯s purpose in one sentence.  Bell is now very big, and he often meets the dogs raised by farmers in Fangjiazhuang, so after several battles, Bell has established his status as the boss dog of Fangjiazhuang.

    Fang Xing doesn¡¯t care about this. He is the boss of Fangjiazhuang, so of course the dog he raises is also the boss.

    "Master, Yao Ping is looking for you."

    When he arrived at the front yard, Yao Ping raised his hands and said after seeing Fang Xing, "Teacher, our Lord Minister invites you to come."

    Xia Yuanji?

    ?????????????? That old bitch, what are you doing looking for me?

    "Promoted?"

    Seeing that Yao Ping's clothes were different, Fang Xing asked.

    Yao Ping said gratefully: "It was only done yesterday. Now I am a treasure-chao lifter. It is all thanks to the teacher's kindness. I asked for this job today because I also want to treat the teacher to a meal."

    Fang Xing walked out and said, "The salary in this dynasty is not high. You still have a family to support, so don't engage in such crooked ways."

    Yao Ping smiled dryly and said, "This disciple also took over an accounting job privately, and he has some savings. Please don't dislike it, teacher."

    "oh!"

    Fang Xing stopped and looked at Yao Ping intently.

    Yao Ping was anxious in his heart, worried that he would be scolded.  But a smile appeared on Fang Xing's face, he patted his shoulder and praised: "Yes, although it is unreasonable, it is good that you can put down your body and make a living!"

    The Zhu family was probably the most unfriendly royal family to officials in history. Their low salaries made those officials, especially those in the capital, complain endlessly.

    Yao Ping couldn't help being happy when he heard this, and he and Fang Xing got on their horses and rushed to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

    All the way into the imperial city, when passing by the Ministry of War, Fang Xing saw that the people at the door had changed.

    Not far away is the Ministry of Household Affairs.  The household department is the largest department and has great responsibilities.  As the minister, Xia Yuanji was the money bag of the Ming Dynasty.

    Xia Yuanji is a thin, middle-aged man. He always has an anxious look on his face, which makes people know that he is very busy at a glance.

    After seeing Fang Xing, Xia Yuanji put down the information in his hand, took a cup of tea and took a sip. Then he smiled bitterly and said: "When Dehua sees me like this, he should know how difficult it is to be an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs."  Alright."

    Fang Xing replied respectfully: "My Ming Dynasty has masters here, so it is possible to survive many projects and battles."

    This is not a boast. With Zhu Di's talent and strategy, if it weren't for the presence of Mr. Xia in front of him, it is impossible to say that Emperor Yongle might have become the second Emperor of Sui Yang.

    Xia Yuanji smiled and said with a beard: "Thank you, I just did my duty."

    After chatting for a while, Xia Yuanji said seriously: "Dehua, I invite you here today for the purpose of liquidating my household department."

    Why are you looking for me for the liquidation of your household department?

    Fang Xing pretended to be all ears.

    "Since Yao Ping and the others learned arithmetic from you, they have played a very important role in our household department, so I would like to ask you to recruit a few more students. How about that?"

    "this¡­¡­"

    Fang Xing was a little moved, but also felt it was too troublesome.

    "Master Xia, there is a question I have to say."

    Fang Xing began to make excuses: "Are you going to teach me quickly? Or do you want to learn slowly like Yao Ping?"

    "Of course, the sooner the better!" Xia Yuanji's brows became more anxious: "There are a lot of things this year, and our household department has to budget for next year's northern expedition, such as grain, grass, baggage, etc., and we can't delay it!"

    Fang Xing spread his hands and said, "Unless they learn counting symbols again, I am too clever to make a meal without straw!"

    Xia Yuanji nodded and said: "This is a trivial matter. I saw the big food number you mentioned. It is indeed easy to use and easy to write. There is one thing, it is easy to tamper with."

    This is what Arabic numerals do, such as 6 and 8.  In a place like the Ministry of Accounts, once the data is tampered with, the consequences will be devastating.

    The famous "Guo Heng Corruption Case" in the early Ming Dynasty was tampered with the simple counting method of one, two and three. As a result, the amount of corruption reached the total amount of the Ming Dynasty Autumn Tax.

    ¡°Of course later, a big case broke out and countless people were killed.

    Fang Xing smiled and said: "Have Master Xia forgotten my Ming Dynasty's counting symbols? Just use the current counting method to make notes on important data."

    Xia Yuanji then said angrily: "I forgot."The Ming Dynasty used to use the counting method of one, two and three, but after the Guo Huan corruption case, Zhu Yuanzhang adopted the counting method created by Empress Wu of the former Tang Dynasty.

    ¡ª¡ªOne, two, three, four

    "But I have to go to His Majesty to report this matter. If His Majesty agrees, then we will start to change it from my household department!"

    Xia Yuanji was impatient, so he ran away as soon as he finished speaking, leaving Fang Xing alone in the household department.

    Fang Xing looked at the usual behavior of the officials from the Ministry of Revenue and could only walk around slowly.

    Slowly, Fang Xing strolled outside the household department.

    "Fang Xing?"

    Fang Xing was bored when he heard someone shouting, so he turned around happily, only to see the familiar old man.

    "I said, old man, why are you at the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

    Now is the busiest time for work. There are almost no people outside. Fang Xing hurriedly waved to the old man and said, "Come here quickly. This is the imperial city. If you accidentally bump into any high official, you will definitely get a slap in the face."

    There is a room outside the household department. This is a place where people waiting for work can rest temporarily. There is no one at this time.

    After helping the old man sit down, Fang Xing poured him a cup of warm tea in a familiar manner, and then said: "Old man, this is the Imperial City. If you have a drink of water, go back quickly. If you don't know the way, I'll ask someone to take you there first.  You go back."

    The old man pulled the hem of his clothes with his hands to cover his shoes, then looked at Fang Xing with interest and asked, "I remember you are white, but how did you get in?"

    "Hey! It's a long story!"

    Fang Xing explained Xia Yuanji's intention of inviting him here, and then complained: "The efficiency of this court is also very slow. Although the big food numbers are something from overseas, I, the Ming Dynasty, should have a broad mind to learn what can help.  own knowledge, rather than following the old ways and clinging to your own selves.¡±

    The old man stroked his beard and said, "Then what do you think Daming should do?"

    "We must change the imperial examination. Otherwise, all the scholars in Ming Dynasty will study stereotypes. Who will study firearms? Who will study improved seeds? Who will Forget it, why am I telling you this!"

    Fang Xing guessed that the time was almost up, so he took a look outside first, then turned around and waved furtively: "Old man, there is no one outside now, please leave quickly!"

    The old man stood up quickly, and then told Fang Xing: "Stay there, don't run around."

    After the old man left, Fang Xing disappeared for a moment and came out with a bottle of drink in his hand.

    "Why has this old Xia been gone for so long?"

    Gradually, after completing the tasks assigned in the morning, people from various yamen began to go out to do errands.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
