Da Qin: The First Emperor wanted to train me to be the empress

"These are some relatively simple symbols used to represent numbers."

Zhang Han explained, "His Royal Highness Huazhang said that these simple symbols are called 'Arabic' numerals, but I feel that they should be called Huazhang numerals."

"Because it is a new thing created by His Highness Hua Zhang."

Zhang Han did not agree with the 'Arabic' numerals from the beginning.

He always felt that this should be called Huazhang Numbers, because it was Princess Huazhang who came up with it.

But His Highness Huazhang was unwilling to accept this statement, and his personal guard commander was not easy to argue with.

When I talked about this with His Majesty and several senior ministers, I couldn't help telling the truth about my thoughts.

"Mr. Zhang, you might as well write down some numbers for us to see."

When Meng Yi heard this, he didn't even bother to eat. He quickly stood up and took out the bamboo slips and writing brushes he carried with him, and spread them on the table to signal.

Zhang Han did not hesitate and directly wrote down the ten most basic numbers 0, 1, 2,...9.

Seeing this simple and weird symbol, Ying Zheng and several ministers couldn't help but wonder: "What does this mean?"

"Your Majesty, these are the new numbers His Highness Hua Zhang taught us, from zero to ninety basic numbers."

Zhang Han told him truthfully what Xu Man taught him, "Then you can combine them at will to make the big number you want, such as 10000, which is ten thousand."

"Another example……"

Zhang Han combined the numbers into different shapes, which made the emperor and his ministers sigh in admiration.

"It...can it still be so simple?"

Li Si blinked, "If we use this number when keeping accounts, wouldn't we be able to save countless bamboo slips?"

“The numbers are simpler, but it’s also easier to modify.”

Although Ying Zheng saw the convenience of using these numbers, he also considered the danger of changing them.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness Huazhang has also considered related issues, so he will match a capital number in a position that is easy to be changed." "Just use the familiar Qin seal script to write the corresponding number below. The top is easy to modify, and the bottom is easy to change. Qin Zhuan is not easy."

Therefore, in the past two months of getting along, Zhang Han's admiration for His Highness Hua Zhang has been endless.

"Well, this is a solution."

The emperor and his ministers watched it with gusto, and the delicious meals could not stop their determination to accept new things.

"By the way, His Highness also prepared an accounting form."

Zhang Han then took out the daily training record book commonly used by his personal guards and showed it to everyone.

"Your Majesty, please see, this is the record of the members and positions of His Royal Highness Hua Zhang's bodyguard. Here are the names, positions, and the personalities and specialties of each bodyguard."

"With such a record book, is it clear at a glance?"

"If your Majesty thinks it is possible, let the paper mill make some. From now on, the account books of various ministries in Daqin will be much simpler and less troublesome."

After a slight pause, before the emperor and his ministers could fully digest the news, Zhang Han added: "There is also a special booklet for recording accounts, which is similar to this form."

"There are only differences in details. If Your Majesty is free to come to Huazhang Palace, I will take it out for you to take a closer look."

"Your Majesty, why don't we go to Huazhang Palace now?"

Li Si and Meng Yi couldn't wait to look at Ying Zheng, "I really want to see the true appearance of these booklets produced by His Highness Hua Zhang."

"It would also be very good if these booklets were used in the army."

Wang Jian also answered, his cloudy old eyes flashing with excitement, "If we have such a booklet, we won't need to carry a large number of bamboo slips while marching."

Wang Ben, Wang Li and his son, who were summoned to eat together, also looked at His Majesty eagerly.

Everyone is looking forward to His Majesty's decision.
