"Grandfather, don't worry for now. Do you still remember the next item I just mentioned?"
The First Emperor frowned and nodded slightly: "I remember."
Wang Yongyuan opened his arms towards Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan: ....
He has become a lifting machine, right?
Okay.
Zhang Yuan found a math book from the system warehouse and handed it to Wang Yongyuan.
Wang Yongyuan opened the book and pointed at the Arabic numerals on it to introduce it to the First Emperor.
"Grandfather, look, these are Arabic numerals."
The First Emperor looked at the book with hesitation.
Seeing the simple numbers above, his brows furrowed even more.
What Arabic numerals?
What the hell?
Wang Yongyuan: "Grandfather, this is the Arabic numeral 1, this is 2, and this is 3."
"Arabic numerals have simple strokes and are easy to remember, which is very convenient for telling time and calculating accounts."
1?
2?
3?
Qin Shi Huang reacted quickly and secretly drew these numbers in his mind.
The more I write, the happier I feel.
It’s really easy to write and easy to remember!
At the same time, Wang Yongyuan turned the book to the bottom, and below was the multiplication table of 99.
"This is the 99 multiplication table. It will be easier to remember it using Arabic numerals."
"Because ordinary people just need to remember the strokes of the numbers 1 to 9 and the multiplication rules."
"This way, whether it's buying or selling things, or even calculating time, it's extremely convenient."
The frown between Qin Shi Huang's brows gradually relaxed.
If this kind of Arabic numerals can become popular.
Arithmetic will indeed be much easier.
Forget about the multiplication table and stuff.
The current situation in Daqin is not yet at the stage where everyone can learn from it.
But if the common people could recognize the numbers 1 to 12, then the Qin Dynasty could adopt the 24-hour calculation method.
He just listened to it and felt that the 24-hour calculation method was indeed more convenient and more accurate than the 12-hour method.
You have to know that when marching, the outcome of the battle may be decided in the blink of an eye.
With the rules of calculating minutes and seconds, he can give orders more accurately.
If the subordinates complete the task within the limited time, many unnecessary sacrifices can be avoided.
very good.
A 24-hour time plan can be arranged.
"Okay, I understand. I will arrange the 24-hour schedule based on the situation. Now let's take a look at the following."
The following items were prepared by Zhang Yuan.
The current situation of the Qin Dynasty is that the treasury is too poor.
No money.
To make money, we must target wealthy people who can consume, are willing to consume, and can afford to consume.
For these people, spiritual needs definitely come first.
From this perspective, what Zhang Yuan prepared is very good.
"Grandfather, I prepared these last few items. Let me introduce them to you!"
Qin Shi Huang turned his head to look at Zhang Yuan, his lips curled slightly, and he nodded gently: "Okay."
It was something Xiao Zhang prepared for him again.
very good.
Xiao Zhang's things are always more practical.
Of course, this does not mean that the things prepared by other later generations are not practical.
It’s just that Xiao Zhang’s is more everyday.
What Zhang Yuan prepared were cosmetics, perfumes and other items that women needed.
There are also tea, wine and glasses that men like.
He briefly explained the uses of these items, and the First Emperor listened with great interest.
These things should be the money-making tools prepared by Xiao Zhang for him.
very good.
He likes it.
With these things, there is no need to worry about the rich and powerful not spending money on them.
He was moved by the glass. The transparent cup looked really beautiful when filled with liquid.
Crystal clear and dazzling.
There are also glasses of various colors and shapes.
It would be strange if the nobles who love collecting did not engage in a fight.
Zhang Yuan introduced the usage of everything.
He chuckled and made a suggestion.
"Grandfather, look at these glasses I prepared. They all have different shapes and appearances. Do you know why?"
[Hehe, I definitely can't guess it. After all, who is as smart as me? ]
Qin Shi Huang: ...
Should I say I know or not?
Should you give Xiao Zhang some face and say you don’t know?
Okay, since he is so happy, just cooperate with him.
"Tell me, I want to hear you."
Zhang Yuan smiled proudly.
[See, our ancestors really didn’t know.]
Qin Shi Huang: ...
I regret it. I should have said I knew it.
Wang Jianguo and others watched the expressions of the two men from the side.
The same thought came to mind.
Ancestor, your uncle dotes on his father!
"Grandfather, these glass cups! You didn't have them back then, so you could have held an auction, selling a few types of glass cups at a time, driving up the price a bit, and pocketing the spoils of those people."
The First Emperor smiled faintly.
Sure enough, Xiao Zhang had the same idea.
Coincidentally, he did.
When he saw the glass cups that Xiao Zhang prepared for him, which came in so many styles and colors, he guessed what Xiao Zhang was thinking.
I have to say, this idea is great.
He also branched out and thought of other things that could be auctioned in this way.
for example....
drug...
Premium tea....
etc....
"Thank you, Xiao Zhang, you've worked hard."
The First Emperor was full of praise.
Zhang Yuan was overjoyed.
The ancestor praised him again!
