"I wonder who this is?"
Liu Deng couldn't help but curl his lips. Could it be that he had offended someone again unintentionally?
"The lower official is the newly appointed internal history official, Gongsun Mo. His Royal Highness, Daiwang, does not move around the court, so it is normal for him not to recognize the old ministers!"
After hearing this, the corner of Liu Deng's mouth twitched. Damn, you accidentally offended the imperial court's purse. Aren't you looking for trouble?
You must know that whether it is SF Express or later banks, if they want to successfully implement it in the Han Dynasty, the care of this God of Wealth is indispensable...
The official position of Zhi Su Nei Shi was basically equivalent to the Minister of Household Affairs in later generations.
Basically, all matters related to money in the entire Han Dynasty were under his control...
But these words have been said, and Liu Deng has to come back to his true self at this time...
"My lord Gongsun, please forgive me. I seldom move around the court, so I don't know Lord Gongsun. Don't blame me!"
"His Royal Highness, you are too polite. It doesn't matter if you don't know me, but these scribes under me have been awake all day and night in order to calculate these data. If you say that they are not as good as the servants in your house, , I really disagree!"
have to……
Liu Deng was embarrassed for a while. It seemed that if he didn't clarify this matter today, he would have completely offended the God of Wealth of the Han Dynasty.
This time it was really a bit of trouble, but looking at the emperor's eyes that looked like he was watching a good show, Liu Deng's competitive spirit was really aroused.
You local leopards, do you even know what mathematics is?
In this day and age where it is a super difficult problem for a chicken and a rabbit to live in the same cage, do you understand what I am telling you about advanced mathematics?
Do you know what calculus is and what linear algebra is?
I will open your eyes today and let you bumpkins know that a single calculation can kill you all!
"If Mr. Gongsun said this, I really don't agree with it. Does knowledge have something to do with one's birth? Although they are servants in my palace, but if you want to make calculations, I'm afraid they are the only ones under you. If you try ten times more, you won’t be able to match them!”
Since he wanted to teach this old boy a lesson, Liu Deng would certainly not be polite.
"Oh? Since there are such wonderful people in this world, you must ask His Highness the King to introduce you to me. If these idiots under me are really not as good as the servants in your house, I am willing to take the position of governing the internal history of Su. Give way!"
It seems that this old man really has very strong confidence in the people under him.
However, many times, confidence is really useless...
"No, no, no, no, no. If you resign on your own initiative, where will your Majesty go to find a suitable person to govern Su Nei Shi? I think it's better than this. If your subordinates win, I will personally give you Apologize, if they lose, you don't have to resign, but every three years from now on, you only need to send your subordinate officials to Wenchang Academy for half a year, how about that?"
"Okay, I have heard about the name of Wenchang Academy for a long time. If they lose, let alone theirs, even the old minister is willing to go to Wenchang Academy to study in person!"
In any case, Gongsun Mo can only support these people under his command, otherwise, how can he lead his team?
"If that's the case, then please invite His Highness the King's people into the palace! It just so happens that we can share their work. If they can finish it early, they can go back and rest early!"
Seeing that the two of them had already agreed on the bet, Shen Tujia quickly stood up and talked to Xini.
"See Your Majesty!"
Time was short, and the twenty preparatory shopkeepers who had followed Liu Deng all the way to Chang'an knelt in front of the Xuanshi Hall one by one.
"There is no need to be polite. Since they are also good at calculating, let's calculate it together. Don't let me see what you have to rely on. How dare you provoke people from the Neishi Yamen here!"
Liu Heng looked at Liu Deng with a half-smile but not a smile. He was looking forward to it. Gongsun Mo would take care of Liu Deng this time!
After all, until now, this kid has never really suffered a loss, and now his tail is almost in the sky!
"Since His Majesty asked you to join the calculation, then one of you should be careful. If anyone makes a mistake, I will punish him by not being able to eat when I go back tonight!"
"promise!"
The corners of Gongsun Mo's mouth twitched. At this time, His Highness, the King, could still joke...
While talking, the little eunuchs on the side hurriedly approached dozens of tables and handed out some account books from the scribes.
Seeing that pens, inks, paper and inkstones were all prepared, those who were preparing to be shopkeepers wrote their own abacus on their backs one by one.
This may be the first time that the abacus appeared in front of the officials of the Han Dynasty. It may seem simple, but the calculation speed is hundreds of times faster than the abacus.
“With so many ledgers, I don’t know when. I think it’s better to just use an hour’s calculations to determine the outcome!”
Liu Deng was so hungry that his heart was pressed against his back. He had just entered Chang'an City with his front foot, but was captured by the emperor and taken to the palace with his back foot.
And after they came in, they didn’t even give them a glass of water. How could Liu Deng be in the mood to stay with them all night?
Therefore, Liu Deng simply added a time limit to this bet.
"Of course there is no problem here, veteran, let's get started?"
"start!"
Liu Deng gave the order, and suddenly the whole hall was filled with the sound of crackling abacus.
Moreover, the sound appeared to be extremely regular, and those who were preparing to be the shopkeepers were all moving with flying colors.
He flipped through the account book with his left hand, and kept fiddling with the abacus with his right hand. From time to time, he would reach out and write down the calculation results on the paper next to him.
All the movements seemed so smooth. Even Liu Qi felt that he had some clues. It didn't look like these people were trying to please others...
Shen Tujia even twirled his beard under his chin. Something was not right about this. Judging from the speed at which they turned the pages, they already had the absolute upper hand.
The scribes in the Neishi Mansion have not even finished one page yet. The shopkeepers have already flipped through dozens of pages.
Seeing them turning pages so fast, even Gongsun Mo couldn't stand still. He couldn't help but walk behind a reserve shopkeeper and stare at him calculating!
However, he hadn't finished this mental calculation yet. He had already finished calculating a whole page and turned to the next page...
The corner of Gongsun Mo's mouth twitched. Is it possible that these people can really be so magical?
