While talking, there was a sudden turmoil outside.

Cao Yi did not raise his eyelids and ordered: "Go and see if you have come out? Then ask the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Justice to come over."

"yes!"

A subordinate ran out, but soon ran back, "Prince, they didn't come out. It seems that His Highness, Prince Yu, had finished speaking, but the scheming officials felt that they hadn't heard enough, so they begged him to talk more!"

Cao Yi looked at the sky outside, "This time...it should be almost noon, right?"

"It's still two minutes away." A subordinate replied.

"Let's go and have a look!"

Cao Yi was a little confused and curious, so he stood up from the chair and walked towards the teaching location.

As soon as he left the door, he saw Ma Haoqiu and Nangong Ji also left the door. The three of them met in the lobby of Wenyuan Pavilion.

"Ma Xiang, Nangong Xiang." Cao Yi greeted with a smile, "You are like me, do you want to see the lectures of His Highness Prince Yu?"

Ma Hao Qiu's head said, "Yes, it's rare that the palace is so lively, so I have to go and see it."

Nangong Ji is 60 years old, not only is he short, but he is even a little hunched.

However, his aura was not weak at all. He smiled and said, "Please please first!"

“Together.”

Cao Yi was not arrogant, but walked out side by side with them.

The Great Kang rule, and the Prime Minister follows the first rank, is the highest level of in-service officials.

The deputy prime ministers are the second-level official, and they are also the level that only the deputy prime ministers can have.

Next is the second rank of the six ministers, ministers of the Interior, governors, generals of the Nine Guards, etc.

According to etiquette, everyone should respect the prime minister, who has priority for various etiquettes.

However, Cao Yi has never been arrogant since he took the position of Prime Minister, so even though many people criticized him for his lack of ability, he was not very disgusted with him.

To be more precise, except for official business, he has no conflicts with major factions, and he does not take on power or cause trouble, and is as stable as possible.

Therefore, even if there are rebellious people, they can always live in harmony with him.

If it weren't for him to reconcile, Ma Haoqiu and Nangong Ji would have probably been tying the dog's brain long ago.

There is another deputy minister Zhong Chang who is not in Beijing today. He likes to be serious when encountering things, and Ma Haoqiu and Nangong Ji are also incompatible with him.

It was precisely because Emperor Jinghe who took advantage of Cao Yi that made him serve as the prime minister for more than 10 years, and he had no plans to replace him.

When the three prime ministers went out, a bunch of officials beside them, as well as the Qianniu Guards who were in charge of the escort, followed closely. In the blink of an eye, there were a lot of people.

They arrived at the teaching house and didn't have to go in, and they could see and hear it by standing in the window.

I saw a teenager sitting on a high stool directly in front of me, and a group of stakeholders were discussing something. Although many of them asked him questions, he did not answer.

The police officers were not discouraged and could not get a reply, so they discussed again, and gradually the voices became louder and louder.

Emperor Jinghe, who was sitting at the back, seemed calm and composed. When he saw the three prime ministers, he nodded slightly.

Cao Yi and the other two quickly bowed and bowed.

A middle-aged man next to Emperor Jing He also quickly avoided him.

Ma Haoqiu Ming could see it, and his face was a little solemn.

snort!

No matter how honest a person is, he has almost no one who can get out of the quagmire of the Ministry of Revenue.

Even if you, Wang Shaoyi, admires Huang Lao's theory, you still can't escape this circle!

Nangong Ji also saw the expression of the Minister of Revenue. Both of them were the Minister of Revenue, one after another, and many things were tacitly understood.

Therefore, Nangong Ji's mood also became slightly sluggish at this time.

"Bang bang!"

As everyone's voices grew louder, Zhao Shou rang a small table next to him and raised his voice and said, "Silent! The Lord is here, what kind of silence do you have to be so noisy and disorderly?"

The scheming officials quickly closed their mouths, turned around and bowed, apologizing to Emperor Jinghe.

Jing Hedi himself didn't care, but instead coughed lightly, "Mingqi, don't be lazy. Since you are a teacher, you have to preach and teach and answer questions. If you stop halfway through your speech, and don't answer their questions, how can you count?"

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, Master is used to lead to practice, and everyone depends on his own." Liu Mingqi got off the chair and replied, "I can't be their husband anytime and anywhere, right? They know many professional places better than me. As long as they use them more in practice, everyone will discuss them together, and they will naturally be able to practice and make perfect and surpass me."

"Looking at how you are, you are not afraid that they will master your skills at all, and then they will be better than you?" Jing Hedi asked.

"Look at what you said, there are talented people in the world, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years." Liu Mingqi said casually: "If every apprentice is stupider than his master, what's the use for them? How can society develop? How can the country be strong?"

The boy was just used to hearing these clichés on weekdays and said it casually, without considering the time and space he is in now.

In the blink of an eye, everyone's eyes turned to him in unison.

Even Prime Minister Cao Yi, who had always remained motionless, showed surprise, let alone other people.

Emperor Jinghe's eyes were even more energetic, "'There are talents in the country and the country, and they are all leading the way for hundreds of years'? Good poems! Good poems! Mingqi When did you become so talented?"

Only then did Liu Mingqi realize that it was bad, so she quickly laughed dryly: "Your Majesty, poetry is just a little trick, don't care too much. Do you think half of what I said makes sense?"

Emperor Jing He recalled those words, thought about it several times, then raised his head and raised his voice a little: "What do you think Cao Xiang?"

Cao Yi was calm and looked down and said, "Your Majesty is wise. The old minister thinks that the first two lines of poetry in Prince Yu are grand and stunning, and they cannot be made by a stunning and stunning person. And the latter half of the words are also reasonable. Although they are just plain language, their meaning is thought-provoking and worthy of deep thought."

This old thing!

Liu Mingqi was immediately dissatisfied and stared at Cao Yi directly.

My lord, I didn't mess with you, right?

When I came up, I wore a tall hat, and it was majestic, amazingly bold and amazing?

If the emperor was a person like Cao Mengde, you were sending me to the execution ground!

Cao Yi also noticed Liu Mingqi's eyes, but he was not surprised at all. He smiled slightly and nodded as if he was polite.

As the first important official of the court, he had nothing to be afraid of when facing a idle prince who would never be able to enter the court.

Of course, no one except himself knows why he is so generous to Liu Mingqi.

Emperor Jing He was also a little surprised and said casually: "Cao Xiang, you are too ridiculous to the child! This child has some ability, but his personality is too exhausted and lazy whenever he has the chance. Do you think this is the case now?"

Listening to what Jing Hedi said, the boy felt a little more at ease.

The emperor still loves me, so he helped me defend myself in front of everyone and declared his attitude towards me.

Otherwise, he would just smile lightly, and I promise that this afternoon, countless memorials impeaching my master would have to fill the desk in the imperial study room!

Thinking of this, Liu Mingqi didn't feel very painful about explaining more to these curious babies.

"Your Majesty, you asked them to ask questions. I will answer their three questions." Liu Mingqi said, "It's not that I don't want to talk more, but that all knowledge comes from my own research. All things that rely on the teacher's explanation cannot be my own things."

"Oh well!"

With what happened just now, Emperor Jinghe was not harsh and said to the officials: "Let me discuss it and ask the three most important questions."

"Abide by the order!"

The planners agreed in unison.

There is no need to worry too much. After a while, the first fifty-year-old official asked Liu Mingqi: "I would like to ask Mr. Prince, we used numbers like one, two, and three to record books, and there was a risk of being tampered with. Although simple numbers like yours are more convenient and quick to use, isn't it more convenient to tamper with?

For example, your ‘1’ can be modified to 10, 7 and 4. ‘0’ without trace, and it can be modified to 10, 9, 6,… Such a digital application will not cover up its huge risks no matter what accounting method is used.”

The three prime ministers outside the window nodded repeatedly when they heard this.

They tried to use the simple numbers from 0-9 many times this morning, but they only thought it was very simple and easy to recognize and easy to write.

But when it is really applied to reality, it is indeed less risky than a general number like one, two, and three.

The general number "one" has the greatest risk of being tampered with. It can be related to ten, six, five, four, three, and two. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can change it.

"Your consideration is very good, which proves that you have thought seriously." Liu Mingqi said, "But you didn't think about going further. Do you think about how to solve it yourself?"

"I'm sorry for being a little ignorant and have not found a good way to do it after discussing for a long time." The middle-aged plotter said ashamed.

"What if two numbers are written together, let's compare them?" Liu Mingqi asked.

"Will the workload be doubled? This is more arduous and does not conform to the original intention of using a new simple number to improve our efficiency." The middle-aged accountant replied.

"You can't just stop thinking about problems. Since you have thought of this method as a way of thinking, why not think more deeply about it?"

While speaking, Liu Mingqi signaled the officials next to him to re-stitch the large pieces of paper full of numbers used in the previous lecture. "For example, this double accounting method, you don't need to correspond to every number. Just write down the corresponding number at the final result, such as this, 3,257 taels and three cents, it's fine.

Some people will definitely ask, is this too sloppy and not write it all together to get insurance? The answer is of course no! We settle each account as a unit. When we make a summary of the account, once we find a problem, we can search each unit one by one. When we find that there is a problem with this account, we can compare it carefully and find out where it has been tampered with.

In this way, even if we add the time to check the account, it will definitely be far better than the cumbersomeness of using two numbers to compare each account repeatedly. As the saying goes, the two harms are lesser than the benefits are more important. When there is a trade-off, this is enough."
