Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Zhang Dongxiang smiled and shook his head, continuing to write at his desk.

After more than ten minutes, a child's voice rang out: "Finished!"

Zhang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, stretched lazily, and looked at the last piece of homework he had completed, a satisfied smile on his face.

Just one last step, take the ledger and homework to show Grandpa.

Everything is done, and the remaining holidays can be spent playing freely.

After returning, there will also be a small red flower to receive, and next semester I should be able to exchange it for a twist car.

"Ahem, Ling'er, what were you writing just now?"

In fact, Zhang Dongxiang had been secretly observing Zhang Ling all along. He clearly said he was looking at the ledger, but he was looking and writing and drawing on the side, not knowing what he was doing.

He wanted to ask, but he was afraid of disturbing his little grandson, so he didn't speak up.

Now that he heard him say it was finished, he could finally satisfy his curiosity.

Zhang Ling got up and stood on the chair, pushing the ledger and homework to Zhang Dongxiang and said, "Grandpa, I have finished compiling the latest month's accounts for the family."

"This is my completed homework. Our Principal Fang said that parents must sign it in person and hand it in to him after the start of the next semester. He will check it personally."

Zhang Dongxiang took the homework and saw that it was full of horizontal and vertical lines drawn into a table, filled with Arabic numerals in the middle, and his brows gradually furrowed.

What the hell is this, a mess.

Zhang Ling saw his expression and said, "Grandpa, let me explain to you...."

Zhang Dongxiang raised his hand to stop him from speaking.

He could understand the numbers in the table. This thing had been promoted in the capital by Fang Zheng Yi very early on.

The Zhuangyuan coupons sold in the capital are still in use, and after so many years, basically everyone who can read and write can understand them.

But he was seeing this table for the first time... but he had already seen some clues.

The table header was written with items, and there was time on the side. The numbers below must represent money, and there were summary numbers at the end of the table.

Seeing this kind of statistical form for the first time, Zhang Dongxiang felt more and more that it had flavor.

After watching for a while, he quickly opened the ledger and personally checked it.

....

Half an hour later, the items in the ledger were checked one by one.

Zhang Dongxiang stared blankly at the table that his little grandson had just drawn, and a sense of palpitations arose in his heart.

All correct! All the numbers were checked, even the increases and decreases were accurate to the penny.

But... how is this possible? Just using a piece of paper, a slight change in the recording format has such magic.

This is an explosive increase in efficiency!

Moreover... moreover, his grandson's mathematical skills are so exquisite!?

Just now, Ling'er only took a quarter of an hour, but he took about two quarters.

"Grandpa, why aren't you talking? Is there anything wrong with what I wrote? If there's no problem, please sign it quickly." Zhang Ling shook Zhang Dongxiang's sleeve anxiously.

Zhang Dongxiang's throat tightened, and he shook his head gently, saying: "You did a good job, how about Grandpa keep this homework for you?"

This thing is definitely not ordinary! Efficient, convenient, it is a huge improvement to the operational efficiency of the court and even the local area!

In addition, the ambiguity in the accounts can also be clarified a lot under this, saving manpower, saving time, and saving paper.

How did Fang Zheng Yi's brain grow?

Hearing Zhang Dongxiang's evasive tone, Zhang Ling asked suspiciously: "Grandpa, you said before that you wouldn't let me go to Yucai. Now that you've taken my homework, don't you want me to go? I want to go to Yucai!"

Zhang Dongxiang's eyes were still fixed on the table, and thoughts were surging in his mind.

This brand-new form should have more changes, and it will definitely not stop there... it should be presented to the court for discussion.

Zhang Ling said anxiously: "Grandpa, I'm still waiting for the start of the next semester. My eldest brother said that Principal Fang is going to give each student who continues to study at school a pocket watch!"

Eldest brother? Give a pocket watch?

Zhang Dongxiang's thoughts were interrupted instantly, and he asked in surprise: "What eldest brother? Who is your eldest brother! ?"

"Fang Chenyu is my eldest brother. All the students in our school recognize him as their eldest brother." Zhang Ling had a matter-of-course expression.

Isn't Fang Chenyu Fang Zheng Yi's son!

He's too shameless, using his identity as principal to make other people's descendants recognize his son as their eldest brother?

Zhang Dongxiang said speechlessly: "Why are you randomly recognizing eldest brothers outside? Don't play with him in the future!"

Zhang Ling said unhappily: "Eldest brother is very good to us. He buys us candy and toys every day. Everyone in the school eats the candy he buys."

"A little candy and you're bought off? Where is there no candy? Isn't there candy to eat in Yucai Primary School? What about the pocket watch you just mentioned?" Zhang Dongxiang only felt a little ridiculous.

Such a big child has learned to use candy to win people's hearts? Isn't this a little adult?

"No, the school doesn't allow eating candy, saying it's not good for the teeth... Eldest brother secretly brings it back to us from outside. And Eldest brother also told us privately that he will give us pocket watches when we go to school next semester! We are going to learn to tell time, Grandpa, if you don't let me go, I won't live!"

"Go! Go! Go! We definitely have to go, Grandpa promises you and will never go back on his word!" Zhang Dongxiang hurriedly stated.

Fang Zheng Yi, this grandson, is so kind, giving pocket watches to those who continue to study.

Which one of those things outside isn't worth several thousand taels, my God, there are hidden benefits, no wonder the tuition is so expensive.

But why didn't he say it earlier?

Forget it, the child is so well-educated, and he even gives pocket watches... this school is a blood profit!

Hearing the affirmative answer, Zhang Ling walked away contentedly with his short legs.

In the study, Zhang Dongxiang continued to fall into deep thought looking at the table....

......

Princess Mansion, in the study.

Fang Zheng Yi sat in front of the desk and kept talking, Xiao Tao sat aside.

A small figure stroked his stomach and swaggered past the door of the study.

Fang Zheng Yi glanced over and said coldly: "Stop! Where are you going?"

"Dad..." Hearing the unkind tone, Fang Chenyu stopped timidly, clinging to the study door and showing half of his head, "Is there anything you want from me?"

"Come in." Fang Zheng Yi beckoned and turned to look at Xiao Tao. He whispered: "You are not allowed to give him any more money in the future! Which child spends dozens of taels a month, eating silver? You have all spoiled him rotten!"

Xiao Tao pouted: "Then you should have a few more children, and you won't be able to spoil them if there are more people."

Fang Zheng Yi smiled: "We'll have them tonight, you go out first, remember to quickly set up the watch repair shop next to Yucai Primary School."

Xiao Tao rolled her eyes: "Heh, you eat mosquito meat too!"

"What mosquito meat, that's crab meat!"

After Xiao Tao left, Fang Chenyu stood in front of Fang Zheng Yi and said softly: "Dad, I'm sleepy."

"Bear with it! I ask you, did you tell your classmates that they will get pocket watches next semester?"

"I said it."

"Hmph, that's more like it, now talk about your business!" Fang Zheng Yi put on a straight face, turned around and rummaged around, and soon found a chicken feather duster, pointing at Fang Chenyu and said sternly.

"I ask you, what did you do with dozens of taels of silver a month! Don't you know that our family is poor and owes a lot of debt outside?! Dad owes others one hundred thousand taels of foreign debt, will you let Dad pay with his life in the future! !"
