Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 32 I Don't Believe It!

When Wang Shoushi left, Guo An raised his head and looked at the elders in front of him.

"Among the elders, if there is an account book that fooled the official like Wang Lichang, you should quickly take it back and have it corrected by the official!
Otherwise, don't blame me for writing you down! "

"Don't worry, the magistrate, we are definitely not as careful as old man Wang!"

"That's right, please don't worry, the magistrate, we will never be so greedy!"

"Xianzun, in fact, old man Wang didn't have any selfish intentions, but he suffered from hunger a lot when he was a child, four of his brothers and sisters died of starvation, and two of his sons died of starvation!

At this point, when I see food, I can't help but want to stock up more! "

"Then you can't make false accounts!"

Guo An snorted coldly, "I can lead you to reclaim more wasteland and grow more food, but you can't make false accounts to defraud food!"

"Yes, magistrate!"

Seeing Guo An's awe-inspiring temper, the rest of the elders were moved in their hearts, and hurriedly bowed their hands in response.

"Ok!"

Guo An nodded slightly, and then took another ledger.

"Which village is this from?"

"Hui Xianzun, this is originally from the village where the grass people live!"

An old man in the middle stood up quickly and said nervously.

"Uh-huh?"

Just as Guo An was about to nod, his expression froze and he quickly stood up.

"Your Highness...Your Highness?"

"Your Highness?"

The elders were startled, and quickly followed Guo An's gaze, looking back.

Sure enough, behind them, a young nobleman appeared at some point!
At this moment, Guo An has hurried forward.

"I'm going to see His Royal Highness King Yan. I don't know if His Royal Highness is coming to my county government office for something important?"

"Grassmen see His Royal Highness King Yan!"

Zhu Di said, "Is it okay for me to hang out?"

Guo An respectfully said: "It's an honor for your Highness to come to the government office, and all the officials in Wanping County's government office. Your Highness is very welcome!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction, and then looked around again.

"In this way, the next official will not disturb His Highness's wandering around!"

Seeing this, Guo An saluted Zhu Di respectfully again, then went back to his official chair and began to check the ledger.

In the entire public room, only the sound of flipping through the pages and writing was left.

On the side, Zhu Di was in a daze.

He is a majestic king of Yan, but he was left here by a small county magistrate?
This time, Guo An had already read the ledger in his hand, and directly directed Ning De to the side to give instructions.

"Yes, the number of food IOUs in Sanhe Village is about the same, give them IOUs!"

"Yes, magistrate!"

As he said that, Ningde counted up a stack of written IOUs and handed them to the chief of Sanhe Village.

Hao Dade, the village head of Sanhe Village, took over the IOU with a happy face, and after counting it in public, he put it in the wooden box he carried with him, and bowed his hands to Guo An in a hurry.

"Thank you county lord, Ning Shuli!"

It's just that Guo An has started to pick up a ledger again, flipping through the pages, and quickly inspecting it.

Ningde, who was on the side, also picked up the brush by himself, like a printing press, and repeatedly wrote the IOU.

In less than a cup of tea, Guo An checked an account book.

Immediately, he picked up a ledger again and checked it.

Seeing this, Zhu Di was full of suspicion and couldn't bear it anymore.

"With such a fast speed, you can calculate the amount of food that hundreds of households need to borrow in this ledger?"

Hearing Zhu Di's voice suddenly, Guo An was subconsciously startled.

"Your Highness, you haven't left yet?"

"Ok?"

Zhu Di couldn't help but stare, "Are you driving me away?"

"Forgive me, Your Highness, I was a little fascinated looking at the account book, and thought His Highness had already left!" Guo An quickly apologized with a smile.

Zhu Di was not angry about this, but continued to ask: "If you haven't returned to me, aren't you trying to deceive me and the elders?"

On the side, Ning Deyou and all the chiefs suddenly looked strange.

"Your Highness, don't make trouble, the addition and subtraction of a mere [-] numbers, I am confident that there will be no mistakes!"

"Ok?"

Zhu Di's face darkened, "I don't believe it!"

"Your Highness, the addition and subtraction of these hundreds of digits can be easily calculated by anyone, I really didn't lie to you!
I still have a hundred small ledgers to check, sorry I can't accompany you! "

Guo An arched helplessly at Zhu Di, then continued to pick up the next ledger and checked it.

On the other hand, Ning Deyou and a group of old men smiled wryly.This kind of county honor is good everywhere, but they can't open their mouths, and individuals can easily calculate it, so what are they?
As for Zhu Di, his face was blackened, he stood directly in front of Guo An, and after Guo An checked the ledger, he snatched it away with one hand.

"Tell me, the king, how much is the amount of grain that needs to be borrowed in this ledger?"

"Return to Your Highness, a total of 220 shi! As for why there are [-] more shi, it's because Li Lichang borrowed four more shi for his family. In addition, there are a few more widows and lonely people in this family, and a few more. The family also borrowed a few more stones.

However, there are not many more stones on the whole, and you can still see the past! "

With that said, Guo An picked up the next ledger and continued to check it.

"Thank you for the county!"

The chief at the side quickly expressed his gratitude with a smirk on his face.

Then, he looked expectantly at Zhu Di who was beside him.

"I don't believe it!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di walked directly to a household official at the side.

"You stand on one side, this king has to do the math himself!"

The housekeeper hurriedly got up and gave Zhu Di his table, desk and chair.

Zhu Di sat down directly, picked up the pen beside him, and carefully calculated page by page.

Although Zhu Di is not that proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics.

Zhu Di, who likes to lead soldiers to fight since he was a child, is very serious about arithmetic, and he thinks he is not inferior to those doctors of arithmetic in the Imperial College!
However, like Guo An, he has never met a person who can be calculated just by looking at him.

I don't believe it, but there is still such a fast person in this world!
Soon, a quarter of an hour passed.

Zhu Di finally raised his head in satisfaction and stretched his body.

At the same time, he asked the housekeeper who had been waiting on the sidelines: "This king has finally calculated it. There are a total of 220 shi. How many shi did Guo An calculate?"

The housekeeper replied cautiously: "Reporting to Your Highness, the count of the county lord is also 220 shi!"

"what?"

Zhu Di quickly pushed aside the pile of papers in front of him, and found out the number he just wrote.

Both eyes straightened immediately!
"Damn it, how is this possible?"

"Your Highness, the county lord is invincible in arithmetic! No matter what kind of complicated numbers are placed in front of us, the county lord can calculate them very quickly."

The housekeeper said with a full face of admiration.

On the side, a group of old men and housekeepers nodded their heads.

Seeing this, Zhu Di had no choice but to believe it, and turned to look at Guo An, who was concentrating on checking, with a look of surprise.

"What kind of strange art is this?"

As he spoke, he walked up to Guo An again and looked quietly.
