Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

"What? Zhisu Neishi?"

"He also serves as the general manager of the Daqin Bank? Where does this person come from? I have never heard of this person."

"What are you doing, Your Majesty? Why do you want this commoner to be the internal history of the Great Qin Dynasty?"

Sure enough, as soon as Ying Zheng's decree was issued, there was a burst of discussion in the court.

"His Majesty!"

Since Li Si stepped down, Wang Wan has become the head of civil servants in the court.

At this time, he stood up on behalf of many ministers.

"What's the question, Wang Qing?"

Ying Zheng had expected this a long time ago, so naturally he had already prepared his speech.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for my lack of knowledge. I don't know which family's favorite student this gentleman is? Why has the old minister never heard of it, and from a commoner, he directly assumed the post of governing millet internal history, one of the nine ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty? Something unreasonable?"

"Since the widow has appointed Shu as the internal history of Zhisu, I naturally believe that he has this ability. As for Wang Qing's question, which gentleman's favorite student is Shu, the widow also regrets to tell you that Shu was before coming to Xianyang. , just an ordinary Qianshou of my Daqin!"

"what?"

Hearing this, there was an uproar in the court.

Sangong Jiuqing, how high is this position?Many people have worked hard to learn the skills all their lives, but they can't climb to this position.

And Shu Yijie Qianshou, how can he reach the sky in one step?
"Your Majesty, please forgive the rudeness of the old minister. Since this garrison is only the head of Guizhou, what qualifications does he have to be the official history of the Great Qin Dynasty?"

Wang Wan blew his beard and stared angrily, with a questioning tone in his tone.

"Wang Qing is questioning the widow?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the old minister dare not, but the old minister also has to consider for our Daqin Sheji, such a person of unknown origin, and even many colleagues present, do not even know his ability. If he is allowed to be the internal history of the millet, wouldn't it be wrong? The injustice of my Daqin scholar?"

Wang Wan's words immediately received unanimous approval from everyone present.

"I implore Your Majesty to take it back!"

Ying Zheng was not surprised to see such opposition from the crowd.

"Since you don't believe in me, I will let you see with my own eyes why Shu is the official history of Zhisu!"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly, and then asked the servant to hand him the things he had prepared.

"This is my Daqin's financial accounts for July last year. You dear friends are well-educated, and you must be very proficient in arithmetic."

"Today's court meeting, I'm going to test my dear friends. If any of you can calculate these accounts within half a day, whoever is my Daqin Zhisu Neishi!"

"Anyone who wants to try it can come to the widow to get a try!"

After Ying Zheng's words fell, everyone immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Your Majesty, although the old minister is not proficient in arithmetic, he still has some understanding. Why don't you try it first? If the old minister completes it, he will not seek the post of Su Neishi. I just hope that your majesty will take back his order!"

In the end, it was Wang Wan who took the lead and took a ledger from Ying Zheng.

"Then my servant will try it too!"

"I have also studied arithmetic for a few years before, so I will try it too!"

"Your Majesty, I just beg your Majesty to take back your order. I, the Great Qin Zhisu Neishi, cannot be rewarded at will!"

……

With Wang Wan as an example, many ministers present stepped forward to take away a ledger, ready to challenge Ying Zheng's request.

"It just so happens that Shu is also the best at arithmetic. Let's compete today!"

Ying Zheng also gave Shu a copy of the ledger, and then motioned him to sit in Meng Yi's seat temporarily.

"From now until noon, whoever calculates it first will be our Daqin Zhisu Neishi!"

Following Ying Zheng's order, everyone present opened the ledger and began to check.

"Your Majesty, can you give me a pen and a blank ledger? The original ledger is too messy, I want to make a new one!"

Zhao Shu suddenly stood up and made a request to Ying Zheng.

"Re-record? Hmph, what a big tone."

"That's right, this account was compiled by the previous Zhisu Neishi, and it took several days to compile it. He still thinks it's confusing!"

"Leave him alone, it's just a sensationalist. If he can't figure it out later, His Majesty will definitely not spare him lightly."

In the eyes of the officials present, Zhao Shu's actions were obviously very unwise.

Re-editing the accounts is tantamount to re-copying the accounts while calculating the accounts. Isn't this a waste of time?

However, they and Zhao Shu were competitors, so naturally they would not remind him of this, but took advantage of Ying Zheng's calculations and began to count with their heads down.

At this time, Zhao Shu also got the blank ledger and pen prepared by Ying Zheng.

"Crackling!"

When everyone was trying to figure it out, they suddenly heard a noise, and looked at Zhao Shu angrily.

That voice came from the unknown thing in Zhao Shu's hand.

"Your Majesty, this person deliberately disturbed us, and I beg your majesty to come down!"

They had never seen an abacus before, so they naturally didn't understand what it was, but took it as a tool for Zhao Shu to deliberately disturb them by making noises.

Someone immediately stood up and reported to Ying Zheng.

"This is Shu's calculation tool, the same as yours!"

Ying Zheng just glanced at the official briefly, and explained something to him casually.

"What kind of computing tool is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

The official was annoyed, thinking that Ying Zheng was deliberately biased towards Zhao Shu, but he didn't dare to say any more, so he could only sit back and continue to count, holding his breath.

The sound of Zhao Shu knocking on the abacus affected many people at first, but after a long time, they gradually got used to it.

"Hmph, it's absolutely impossible to win against us with such low-level tactics!"

When many officials were complacent, suddenly the sound of Zhao Shu knocking on the plan stopped.

"Huh? What else are we going to do?"

Seeing Zhao Shu's movements, many people looked up at him again, wondering what dirty tricks he was going to play again.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Shu didn't pay any attention to them at all, he just blew on the dry ink on the ledger, then picked up the ledger he made up and went to the hall.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the common people have completed the calculations. The total revenue of Daqin's treasury in July last year was 780 yuan, and the total expenditure was..."

Listening to Zhao Shu reporting the data in front of Ying Zheng, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and looked down at their own account books, only half of the calculation was made.

"Has he finished the calculation?"

"Could it be a random number?"

"Impossible, where does he have the guts to deceive His Majesty?"

"But, how could it be so fast?"
