The Ministry of Revenue's abacus class had started, and the specially hired teacher was Li Yuanfang.
Facing a group of students who were older than him, Li Yuanfang felt uneasy.
Everything had its pros and cons. Everything had two sides.
Through the teaching incident, Li Yuanfang experienced the benefits of the affinity halo for the first time. No one dared to criticize him because of his young age.
Every afternoon, there would be a fixed half an hour of abacus explanation, accompanied by the abacus incantation.
The accounting experts from the Ministry of Revenue, after adapting to the new tools, began to use their abacuses with great efficiency.
Li Yuanfang did not leave the Ministry of Revenue after he had some free time. Instead, he focused his attention on the household registration management area.
In the Tang Dynasty, household registration was made every three years.
In general, the purpose of the official registration.
1. Levy or reduce taxes, corvee, and receive a pension.
Second, provide evidence for conviction and sentencing.
The household registration was based on the actual accounts and accounts that were fabricated every year.
[Manual: Record a household, population, age, land ownership, etc.]
The accounts were compiled according to the actual situation, and the content was to state the taxes and corvee that the people should bear in the coming year.
Of course, the three-year deadline was not up yet, and the household registration was still very strict.
Li Yuanfang had a good teacher.
The good teacher, Xiao Yu, told Li Yuanfang to sort out his old household register when he had time. The notes on the old household register recorded a lot of things that had happened all over the country.
Thus, Li Yuanfang had gathered a detailed chart on the old household registration file that had already accumulated dust.
This chart was about the high probability of inbreeding within three generations, resulting in a high probability of foolishness and early death.
Li Yuanfang walked out of the old household register warehouse in a good mood with a statistics sheet in his hand.
When they met officials from the Ministry of Revenue, they would also greet them with a friendly smile.
……
Seeing Li Yuanfang, Xiao Yu revealed a rare smile.
"Yuan Fang, why are you here? Are you tired of looking at the old household registration files?"
"Teacher is in a good mood today."
Li Yuanfang secretly prayed that the thing in his hand would not scare his teacher.
Xiao Yu didn't suspect anything and said cheerfully.
"The work efficiency of the Ministry of Revenue has increased. This year, it is possible to completely get rid of the heavy official documents before the end of the pen.”
“……”
Li Yuan Fang was in a dilemma. Why not he go directly to Li Shi Min?
It was rare to see his disciple show such a childish side, so Xiao Yu's mood was undoubtedly better.
"Tell me, what kind of trouble did you encounter that you need my help with?”
" Hehe…" Li Yuanfang smiled embarrassedly."Teacher saw through me."
"Hahaha, tell me." Xiao Yu chuckled.
"Even if what I want to say can ruin your good mood?”
Li Yuanfang wiped his face. The expression on his face changed from conflicted to bitter.
Xiao Yu was keenly aware that what his disciple was about to say seemed very serious.
"Is it related to the Song Public House?"
"No."
"Or my sister?"
"Not really."
"Since it has nothing to do with these two matters, then no matter what you want to say, I can accept it.”
Xiao Yu waved his hand. After all the storms had passed, he still smiled faintly.
Li Yuanfang sighed and handed the file to Xiao Yu.
"Teacher, take a look. This matter is quite big.”
"Hmm?"
Xiao Yu didn't ask any more questions. He reached out to take the file and read it slowly.
It didn't matter if he didn't look, but the more Xiao Yu looked, the uglier his expression became.
After reading the long file, Xiao Yu waved the file in his hand.
"This isn't a child's play. Are you sure that the outcome of inbreeding is so…so tragic?”
"Yes, this is only in the Chang 'an area. The situation nationwide will only be more serious than described above.”
"So…brat, you want to expose it?”
"What else? Should they allow the 'relatives' to continue to exist and leave behind deformed, stupid, or sickly children?”
Xiao Yu looked deeply at Li Yuanfang, then suddenly stood up and patted his shoulder.
"You're right. We can't allow this to continue. What the Great Tang needs now is a positive increase in population.”
"What are you two discussing? Why are you talking about population growth?”
As soon as the voice came out, Li Yuanfang and Xiao Yu's expressions changed.
The two of them quickly looked at each other, shook their heads, and laughed.
Speak of the devil!
Li Shimin brought civil and military officials to inspect. This inspection was a surprise, deliberately hiding it from the Minister of Revenue, Xiao Yu, and began with the low-level officials.
"After the small reform of the Ministry of Revenue, the efficiency of handling official business is very high.”
After saying that, Li Shimin realized that Xiao Yu and Li Yuanfang's expressions were not right.
An official from the Ministry of Revenue who didn't get along with Xiao Yu said sarcastically.
"Oh, could it be that we interrupted your plot?”
"Shut up if you don't know how to talk!"
Li Yuanfang immediately retorted.
Xiao Yu handed the file in his hand to Li Shimin with a heavy expression.
" This is a Chang 'an population survey done by my youngest disciple. Marriage within three generations can easily lead to a problematic next generation.”
As soon as he said this, the first person to turn black was the old fox Zhangsun. He immediately questioned in a cold voice.
"What problem? Don't be exaggerating.”
"Early death, sickly, deformed, and stupid. Isn't this result worthy of our attention?”Xiao Yu asked.
"Lord Zhangsun, not to mention you, when I sorted out this file, I was also very surprised, so I had no choice but to ask the teacher for help.”
Li Yuanfang looked at Zhangsun Wuji with a fake smile.
Actually, he had long seen through Zhangsun Wuji's reason for losing his composure.
In order to strengthen his relationship with the royal family, this old man had set his sights on the princess of the direct line, Li Lizhi.
Now that the matter of three generations of marriage had been exposed, Li Shiming doted on Princess Changle.
His cute little niece was probably going to be replaced by a new son-in-law!
"Is it true that close relatives don't get married? In other words, those children didn't die in the backyard?”Cheng Yaojin asked foolishly.
GJ！
This question was simply too good. Li Yuanfang nodded with a heavy expression, directly destroying Zhangsun Wuji's last bit of fantasy.
Li Shi Min broke the rule and cursed. He could no longer maintain his composure.
"Yuan Fang, do you know that these words are not in line with reality? That would be the crime of deceiving the sovereign?”
"Your Majesty can send someone to investigate again. I also hope that the results of my investigation are true, but…"
Before Li Yuanfang could finish his sentence, everyone present had already filled their minds.
The official who had previously targeted Xiao Yu said in a daze.
"My younger brother followed his parents 'orders and arranged marriage, marrying Youngest Biao Sister home. He even gave birth to two sons who died prematurely, and in the end, he left behind a silly daughter. I originally thought that it was heaven's punishment…I didn't expect…"
Li Shi Min seemed to have thought of something, and his face darkened.
"I will send someone to verify it again. Once the results are true, I will announce this matter to the world!”
