Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 694 Table Calculation Method

Prince Yong nodded slightly: "Now that even Xue Hong has arrived, it's time for us to talk about business."

Zhang Tingyu knew that Xue Hong didn't know what happened, so he just explained: "I don't know who was invited by Master Jiu. He only entered the household department for a few days, and found out many wrong and missing accounts in the household department. The booklet has been handed over to the emperor. After reading it, the emperor found it inconceivable. He ordered our household department to settle all the old and wrong accounts within three months, otherwise we will punish the officials of the household department. Kangxi started counting in 40 years, and it will be almost 20 years this year, involving the accounts of more than a dozen companies. Three months? How can this be calculated?"

"what?!"

Xue Hong was startled. He never thought that it would be because of such a problem. No wonder everyone was frowning. With so many accounts, it takes three months to check whether there are any errors or omissions... Well, it sounds like something wrong. little trouble.

Feng Ziying on the side curled her lips: "But be satisfied. The account books of the Ministry of Accounts earlier were either not well kept and a lot of them were rotten or had been destroyed, which is not correct. Otherwise, it would have to be calculated from the first year of Kangxi, I'm afraid. It can’t even be counted as a dead person.”

Zhang Tingyu shook his head and said helplessly: "It's just that the person Jiuye found was like the emperor who reported several large mistakes and omissions in the accounts, which made the emperor angry and deliberately made things difficult for our prince, so he ordered that he should pay the prince within three months. It’s all about checking the accounts of 20 years ago. This is the first time the emperor is so angry with our lord. Nothing like this has ever happened before. Compared with whether this matter can be successfully completed, the emperor’s attitude towards our lord Whether it will change or not is the most important thing.”

Xue Hong was puzzled: "How could this happen? What kind of person did Master Jiu find? Since this person has only been in the Household Department for a short time, how could he find so many mistakes in a short period of time? "

In fact, the accounts of the Account Department have always been like this. If you want to say that they are absolutely right and not bad at all, it is simply unrealistic. They are just about the same.As for the reason, there is no need to explain it so clearly.How did the Qing Dynasty finally perish?Isn't self-defeating one of the reasons?

Yinzhen said coldly: "It's just a person who is good at numerology, but the calculation method he uses is quite special, and I don't know what it is written like a ghostly talisman. Some are similar to the counting chips we use, but Very different?”

Something like a ghost drawing?
Xue Hong suddenly had an idea in his mind, ran to Yinzhen's desk, dipped his pen in ink, wrote down the Arabic numerals from 0 to 9, blew on the ink, and brought it to Yinzhen: "Look, Your Majesty, Is it this one?"

Yinzhen's eyes lit up: "It's really these things, how do you know?"

Xue Hong smiled and said: "This thing is not unusual, it is Arabic numerals, which is the same as our usual counting chips. Those foreign missionaries use these characters to count. It's just that our counting chips are easier to write , It has been used for a long time, and everyone is more used to it, so the Arabic numerals were not popularized in the Qing Dynasty. However, using Arabic numerals for calculation, there will be many interesting algorithms. If you meet someone who is proficient in numerology, It is naturally faster to calculate the data, which is not surprising."

Normally, when everyone heard that Xue Hong knew so much about this unpopular knowledge, they would definitely praise him, but today, no one was in that mood.If it is really what Xue Hong said, then the person that Jiu Age Yinzhen found should be a master of mathematics who can use Arabic numerals and is proficient in various wonderful algorithms.

No one spoke, but the atmosphere became more dignified.Xue Hong was also thinking hard there, no matter what kind of person the opponent is, it doesn't matter anymore.The important thing is that if the big problem set by the emperor for the prince can be successfully solved, making things difficult will become an opportunity, but if the important task of the next three months cannot be solved, then no matter what the emperor does with the household department, The Baye Party will definitely put pressure on it, so the prince will be much more passive.

Xue Hong thought for a long time, then suddenly shouted: "Excel spreadsheet!"

"what?"

None of the people at the scene understood it, and if they understood it, they would be ghosts.Knowing that she had made a slip of the tongue, Xue Hong hurriedly said: "A table is a kind of magical grid. It is marked with different names and data vertically and horizontally, and it is used to calculate accounts at a glance. It's just... I think I'll draw it out at the same time." , while explaining to everyone.”

Xue Hong said that he wanted to draw, and everyone gathered around the desk.He picked up the brush and started to write on the rice paper: "This square is like a chessboard, and the items and data are marked on the form, so... everyone, this horizontally means that every item needs to be calculated. Each data is displayed vertically, and then added or subtracted with each other, the calculated result is here, all the numbers and sums, and then compared with the accounts, does it seem clearer?"

Xue Hong patiently taught it several times. Those who can follow Prince Yong are not fools. Xue Hong's explanation is so detailed. After a while, everyone has understood the specific usage of this form.

Xue Hong said with a smile: "There are 20 years of accounts in total. If we count one by one, we will be divided into twenty groups. Each group is responsible for organizing important data into tables. The items on this table are naturally When it comes to the content of the Ministry of Accounts, we use tape words, and write in a special notebook what kind of tape words are set for each group, so that more people can participate in the encrypted form Calculation. Although the task is heavy, if it is divided into many parts and more people are involved, even if we don't have any math prodigy, it is not impossible to check these heavy accounts in three months."

"This……"

Everyone was speechless, Xue Hong... probably because his brain structure is different from that of ordinary people, right?Otherwise, why is it that only he can come up with so many extraordinary and good ideas, but they can't?
Yinzhen was not surprised that Xue Hong could come up with such a method, he was just very happy, this method is indeed feasible, if this is the case, it is nothing to make things difficult for him by Huang Ama, on the contrary, because of this The new algorithm earns itself praise and awards.

Yinzhen laughed heartily: "Hahahahaha, Xue Hong, Xue Hong, I have embarrassed my king's kindness for a whole day, but I didn't expect you to solve the problem easily. It can be seen that God still favors me, Yinzhen!"
