About the fact that the heir of Huajian School is a girl

She handed the account book back and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't know that Daxia's tax revenue is mainly in kind, and tax silver is only a small part of the small part."

The Right King raised his eyebrows.

"What does Marquis Wu Ding want to say?"

"What I want to say is that when the Ministry of Revenue makes calculations, it never worries about the physical goods such as silk, tea, grain, and porcelain entering the warehouse. All kinds of materials are the important source of revenue for Daxia."

"Heh... Marquis Wu Ding's implication is that he thinks these accounts are easy to settle."

Both sides looked at each other.

The smell of gunpowder became extremely strong.

Li Qingcha stretched lazily.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, we have traveled all the way from Bulun and are exhausted. I just want to take a bath and have a good rest. I will not trouble you to hold a banquet to welcome us."

The Right King's eyes flashed with brilliance.

"you……"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the demon king.

There was no emotion on his face.

"Since Marquis Wu Ding has said so, then I naturally have no reason to force you. Please go ahead."

Chapter 574 I want to cheat!

The demon king asked someone to take Li Qingcha to where he was staying.

He watched their backs and stroked his beard gently.

"Li Qingcha is a really interesting person."

I used to think that human officials were all weak and cowardly sissies, but I was immediately slapped in the face when I met Li Qingcha, who dared to call himself "this marquis" in front of me.

The Right King said: "Your Majesty..."

The demon king waved his hand.

"Don't worry, come back to the king's tent with me. I have prepared a welcome meal for the human race, it would be a waste if you don't eat it."

Everyone: "..."

The team slowly moved towards the north of the city.

The King's Golden Tent covers a very large area, not much different from the Golden Palace. It is a four-cornered tent. From a distance, it looks like a human palace building and can easily accommodate hundreds of people.

The demon king entered the tent first, and then ordered the maid to serve wine.

The Left King, the Right King and a group of nobles took their seats.

Li Hulun stretched out his foot and gently kicked the low table in front of the right king.

The Right King was dissatisfied.

"What do you want to do!?"

Li Hulun looked happy.

"Look, have you been tricked by Li Qingcha again today?"

"He's just being stubborn?"

"You think so?"

The Right King rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to Li Hulun.

At this time, the demon king sitting in the main seat spoke in a questioning tone,

"Right King, why didn't my niece Yujun come with us?"

This sentence hits the soft spot directly.

The Right King almost vomited blood on the spot. He tried to breathe smoothly and then answered: "That girl seems to be obsessed with the strange skills of the human race. She didn't learn the Four Books and Five Classics but wanted to learn arithmetic."

The demon king laughed loudly.

"Are the wings stiff?"

"Yes, that girl has grown wings!"

"But I don't think it's just a matter of tricks. If the teacher at the academy wasn't Li Qingcha, would niece Yujun still be so enthusiastic?"

The second sentence hits the soft spot.

The Right King was speechless.

Li Hulun, who was watching the fun, said, "Your Majesty, when we were in the human capital, I felt that my niece Yuyun had feelings for Li Qingcha that went beyond friendship."

The Right King was furious.

"Li! Hu! Lun! Stop spreading rumors!"

"I didn't spread rumors. At that time, Yuyun's niece said she would give Li Qingcha a gift, so it was a teacher-student relationship. Isn't this beyond friendship?"

"You! @*#￥%..."

The right king spewed gibberish.

Li Hulun smiled proudly.

In the past, when competing with the Right King in the Royal Court, he had never gotten the upper hand with words. This time it was so abnormal, all thanks to Li Qingcha.

The demon king waved his hand to signal the two to stop.

Then, he changed the subject and asked, "Just now, I saw Li Qingcha acting so calm, as if he had everything planned out. Do you know why?"

The Right King shook his head.

"Your Majesty, I think he is bluffing."

As he spoke, he nodded to a fox noble sitting opposite him.

"If the king has any doubts, you can ask Gu Zelun of the Ministry of Revenue. He will tell you the difficulty of this bet."

The king's tent suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at Guzelen.

The latter slowly put down the lamb chops in his hand, stood up and said: "Reporting to the king, there are a total of 19 trading points along the Zhaolu River, and three customs clearance passes on the border. The accounts are huge. Moreover, the trade has been going on for nearly three months, but the records of the accounts are irregular. Some categories have one question per day, some are three days, and some are even five days. It is so complicated that it is really difficult to calculate the details."

Everyone nodded,

In the past, the Holy Kingdom would check its accounts at the end of each year. Even if the southern and northern offices worked around the clock, it would take more than ten days to get the data completely matched.

This is the situation where the two tribes have no trade and only rob each other.

Now, once the trade on the Zhaolu River has begun, there are more than 200 categories of goods involved, and many of them are not exchanged for gold or silver, but for barter, which is quite troublesome to calculate.

No one in their right mind would think that a child could handle this kind of work.

The demon king pondered for a moment and asked again: "Just now, Li Qingcha said that the human race's taxation is not mainly based on official silver. Is this true?"

Guzelen nodded.

"it is true."

"So what he said about the human race's Ministry of Revenue being very good at calculating is also true?"

"Yes. Frankly speaking, the human officials are much more powerful, because the taxes collected by humans include a lot of physical goods, and there will be losses in the transportation of materials, which often leads to some... uh... mismatches between the incoming and outgoing accounts, so..."

Even if the latter part was not said, the people present could understand it.

Nothing more than three words——

Cook the books.

The Right King laughed with disdain on his face.

"In the human race, this thing is called 'fire consumption'. When collecting taxes, the additional fire consumption is greater than the actual fire consumption, and the difference belongs to the officials."

There was a scornful sound of clicking one's tongue in the king's tent.

Guzelen coughed awkwardly.

"What the Right King said is correct. Human officials are indeed very good at plundering the people's wealth, but they lose money in one place and gain money in another. As a result, the Ministry of Revenue has a strong ability to keep accounts, and the numbers are correct every year."

The demon king was puzzled.

"Does that mean that humans have a faster way of calculating?"

"This... I have never heard of it, but every inch has its own strengths and weaknesses. The human race should have some merits in this regard."

"so troublesome."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Silence swept the royal tent.

The demon king did not want to care about how many human officials could get away with it, he just wanted to win this bet.

He asked: "According to the speed of the two files in the royal court, how long will it take to calculate these accounts?"

Gu Zelun thought for a moment and replied, "At least seven or eight days."

"so long?"

"In fact, it's been a while. We still haven't calculated the result after seven or eight days. After all, if one number is off, everything else may be wrong. If we do a serious calculation, it may take half a month to complete the accurate calculation."

hiss……

The demon king felt a toothache.

In the past, there was no private trade with the human race, and the income was all robbed, so there was no need to go through so much trouble.

Now, the computing workload has at least quadrupled.

He pondered for a moment,

"We give Li Qingcha three days."

Everyone: "..."

Li Hulun and the Right King looked at each other and thought that their own boss would be the best at letting the bad guys go.

Three days! ?

There is not enough to breed the ewes.

Gu Zelun coughed lightly.

"Your Majesty, three days is not enough for us to have two rooms even if we stay up all night."

The demon king couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Who said it's over?"

"what?"

"It's very simple. Just calculate to the middle. There's no need to give the final result."

"How can we compare them?"

"Let's compare progress. By then, Li Qingcha can only calculate until September 20th, while we have calculated until the beginning of October. Isn't this equivalent to our victory?"

this……

It sounds feasible.

But the problem is,

“How do we determine whether the numbers on both sides are accurate?”

The Right King asked.

The demon king smiled even more.

"Let Li Qingcha stay in the royal court for a few days until the South and North Filing Offices come up with the final figures. Then we can compare the accounts of both parties to see which one is closer to the correct number."

"This……"
