At night, An Changgui's mansion was brightly lit again.
But this time, the faces of the clan leaders attending the banquet were very ugly.
An Changgui sat at the top, took a sip of wine and said, "I was careless. I didn't expect King Jianning to launch a sneak attack!"
Yang Shizhong sat down in despair. He was the one who was tortured the most by the players today. When handing over the field registration and Ding registration, Cui Tao carefully checked the number of field registration and Ding registration. He also found many problems on the spot and asked Yang Shizhong to sign and sign.
.
Unexpectedly, this young man who often visited the governor's mansion and discussed poetry with the prefect Zhang Xian was actually a master of arithmetic!
Yang Shizhong was even more certain that this Cui Tao must be a young leader from a wealthy family who came to travel. If he was an ordinary scholar, how could he learn arithmetic?
Wu Hao looked at the two people above him and said, "Uncle Gui! What are we going to do now? Are we going to sit back and wait for death?"
An Changgui shook his head and said: "We haven't reached this point yet. It's not an easy task to search for Maoming. This Cui Tao is proficient in arithmetic, but can all the tooth soldiers under King Jianning be proficient in arithmetic?"
?”
An Changgui stood up and said: "Not to mention this Ding book, just this field book, ordinary people can't sort it out!"
"Guazhou surrendered to the Tang Dynasty from the reign of Emperor Gaozong, and granted land to generations. At first, the fields granted were all square, but now several times, the acres granted are fragmented. I want to calculate the area of these acres.
, only a veteran household official with many years of experience can figure it out."
At this time, Yang Shizhong nodded and said: "What your uncle said is absolutely true. Most of the new fields granted in recent years are irregular fields. Calculating the area is extremely difficult."
Wu Hao's family has been engaged in martial arts for generations, and he is not clear about these sects. He asked doubtfully: "Why is this so? Isn't it easier to cultivate square acres?"
Yang Shizhong said: "Everyone understands this truth, but now most of the land has owners. Even the land granted after death is fragmented, and the newly granted land can only be divided in this way."
Yang Shizhong said: "Some fields have complicated shapes. Even if I go there in person, it would take me a long time to calculate them. I don't believe that the tooth soldiers under King Jianning are all masters of arithmetic!"
Hearing what Yang Shizhong said, many clan leaders felt relieved and said one after another: "Yes, my family's field is divided into several pieces. It's not easy to figure it out!"
"They're just a group of tooth soldiers. It's good if they can write. How can they be proficient in arithmetic?"
An Changgui signaled everyone to be quiet and continued: "We will wait and see what happens!"
Zhang Tong is a three-test player. He is a game enthusiast. After hearing about the game Datang Fengyun, he found the forum and applied for test qualifications.
After entering the game, Zhang Tong was stunned by the real experience in the game. He soaked in the game every day and felt the elegance of the Tang Dynasty in the game.
In order to earn contribution points, Zhang Tong signed up to participate in the Dasuo Mao Yue. Now he is checking the acres in the fields with the field registration book.
"Take out the booklet!" Zhang Tong said to Butler Shi, who was wearing silk and satin.
The Shi family, like the An family, is one of the nine surnames of Zhaowu. However, the head of the Shi family is not as noble as An Chang. He only serves as the head of the township in the countryside and can barely be regarded as a rural tycoon.
However, the Shi family had a lot of land in their hands. The housekeeper smiled and took out a copy of the book.
The field records for land grants in the Tang Dynasty were divided into two parts, one was a field record stored in the government, and the other was a base record kept by the household head himself.
The two volumes record the location and size of the fields. When the Spring and Autumn Taxes are collected, the tax collector will take the field book and check it with the base book. If the two books match, the land area will be OK.
Zhang Tong frowned and looked at the book with traces of alteration. This was another tampered field book!
During Cui Tao's training, this method of tax evasion was explained.
By tampering with the numbers on the field registers and booklets, reducing the area of the fields under your name, you will collect less tax when taxing.
After all, it is impossible for tax collectors to re-clear the land every time, not to mention that all the tax collectors in Guazhou, from Yang Shizhong to the grassroots, are people in the network of wealthy families. As long as the accounts can be paid, they are willing to turn a blind eye to these wealthy families.
Close one eye.
Zhang Tong put the field register together and said, "Let's go and see your fields."
Steward Shi's face looked a little ugly, but he still wanted to go to the field to watch?
But Zhang Tong was wearing leather armor and there were two soldiers holding long swords behind him. Seeing their fierce eyes, Butler Shi had no choice but to lower his head and said: "Master, please."
This game is too real!
Zhang Tong took a tape measure and measured the field seriously. He actually started doing math problems in the game!
When encountering some irregular land, Zhang Tong even used trigonometric functions!
This game is too hardcore!
However, following Zhang Tong's calculations, the Shi family's land was calculated by him.
Steward Shi's face became increasingly uglier. Naturally, the Shi family had hidden their land.
The numbers on the field registers and base books were falsified. Of the twenty hectares of land under the Shi family's name, only fifteen hectares were registered in the field registers.
The Shi family hid all their hidden land in those irregular fields.
But this tooth soldier is actually measuring the land. Can he really do calculations?
Isn't it possible? It would take me, the housekeeper, several days and nights to figure out the Shi family's land, but the tooth soldier just walked around, can he figure it out right?
Just when Butler Shi was confused, Zhang Tong put away the pencil in his hand and said with a cold face: "The land in the field register is fifteen hectares and three hundred and fourteen acres. Why did it clear out the land of your Shi family?"
It’s twenty hectares and two hundred acres!?”
Butler Shi was dumbfounded. How could Zhang Tong accurately tell the Shi family’s actual number of acres of land!?
You know, only the head of the Shi family and his butler know this number. Even the eldest young master of the Shi family doesn’t know exactly how much land his family has!
Zhang Tong threw the overnight paper in front of Steward Shi and said: "This is the area of the land I calculated. You can take it back and take a good look at it! Let's go and check the records of Shi Mansion."
Steward Shi looked at the paper in his hand in despair. It was filled with symbols that he couldn't understand, but the number finally calculated was exactly the same as the real land area of the Shi family!
Butler Shi felt a sense of fear. Only he and the master knew the number of acres. Would the master suspect that he had leaked the secret?
Butler Shi immediately rushed into the Shi family's village. He had to report this matter to the master face to face!
Under the vigorous investigation of the players, the entire hidden land in Guazhou was dug out by the players.
How many local powerful men lit candles at night to settle accounts. These powerful men discovered that these powerful tooth soldiers were all masters of arithmetic!
The people who manage their own affairs have to calculate half a day's worth of land. They don't even need to calculate, they can just write and draw to calculate the land area!
The area calculated by these tooth soldiers is exactly the same as the actual land area!
At this time, the wealthy families in Guazhou were completely panicked!
