Emperor Jing shook his head with a half-smile: "I know, my dear ministers, don't worry about it."
"Let's get down to business. Fang Qing, did you make this form?"
Fang Zhengyi came out of his state of watching the show and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, this table is the original creation of mine. I call it the table method!"
Emperor Jing nodded and praised: "Good! What a good table method, it really opens my eyes! When did you come up with this wonderful method? Please tell me in detail. Since it was created by you, you should know it more deeply than others. Why didn't you present such a good method earlier?"
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Since I was managing Taoyuan County, I have often been troubled by complicated accounts, so I tried every possible way to simplify them. There were many difficulties, and it was not until I established Dongjiao University and recruited many talents that I was able to perfect the table method."
"Yucai Primary School is one of the first pilot schools. I think if children aged five or six can learn it successfully, then officials in Dajing will be able to popularize it."
All the ministers acted as if they had suddenly realized something.
So that’s how the tabular method was born. What a good idea!
Emperor Jing even clapped his hands and praised: "Zhengyi, you have put in a lot of effort."
Fang Zheng couldn't help but laugh.
My father-in-law is too unreserved and does not behave according to his position in public!
It seems that he really saw the value behind it. In the past, Taoyuan County had two sets of account books, one of which was using this one.
However, the times are changing, and it would be unkind to keep hiding such a good tool that benefits the people of the world. Besides, the technology in the county is also improving day by day... As long as we master the core technology, there is no need to panic!
"I just want to show my filial piety to my father because I see him working so hard all day long," Fang Zhengyi said modestly.
“.....”
The expressions of the ministers instantly changed from admiration to contempt.
That's too much! You were still studying table method in Taoyuan County, and you were thinking about becoming a royal consort at that time?
Your Majesty, just give me some praise. You are really trying to climb up the ladder. You and your father are here to bond during a court meeting? !
Emperor Jing smiled but said nothing.
Fang Zhengyi continued, "In fact, I was just planning to present the table method to Your Majesty today. I didn't expect that all of my colleagues were so far-sighted that they saw the trick at a glance. However, I still have some things here that you can take a look at."
Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "Present it... Forget it, come to me and talk to me."
As soon as Fang Zheng heard the yes, he walked up the stairs to the imperial desk, took out a few more forms from his pocket and placed them on the desk.
He leaned sideways and said, "Your Majesty, please look, according to the results of the Academy of Sciences and Dongjiao University, this table method can actually be used to make simple calculations using some formulas. The only thing the accountant has to do is fill in the numbers."
"On the other hand, the heads of the six ministries need to have an overview of the overall situation, and there can be a simpler, more efficient and worry-free display format. For this purpose, I have also invented a graphical interface..."
As Fang Zhengyi spoke, he flipped open a report, revealing several completely new forms underneath.
Emperor Jing read it thoughtfully, then motioned Fang Zheng to hold it up and show it to everyone.
Fang Zheng said, "Please look at these. These are bar charts, line charts, and pie charts... Take the line chart as an example. Through this chart, you can clearly see the quantity, increase or decrease, and grasp the general trend, which can save you time..."
As Fang Zheng spoke, Emperor Jing nodded secretly, and all the ministers listened attentively.
Every time a table is explained, it will trigger a discussion.
Especially those who are in high positions and often deal with large amounts of statistical data are overjoyed.
The huge reduction in workload and the huge improvement in efficiency are obvious. If we can use this kind of thing to work in the future, how comfortable will life be? I dare not even think about it!
When Fang Zheng finished speaking, the discussion was not over yet, and suddenly Li Yansong said, "Master Fang, I have a question."
"Mr. Li, please speak."
"Hiss...You just said that you invented the graphical interface. I can still understand what the word 'graphical' means, but when you add the word 'interface' at the end, I get confused." Li Yansong stroked his beard and thought.
The others were also puzzled when they heard this.
Yes, what the hell is this interface? It feels a bit superfluous.
Fang Zhengyi secretly curled his lips.
This writer really loves to quibble over words. What's there to be fussy about?
"Because I think it's more fashionable." Fang Zhengyi, the founder of computer graphics, replied.
"Uh... okay." Li Yansong felt a little speechless and didn't think too much about it.
After all, Xiao Fang seems to have a lot of bad tastes.
Emperor Jing took a few tables and read them over and over again. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wonderful, really wonderful! Replacing text with pictures can actually have such a magical effect!"
Xu Wenshu was already extremely excited as he listened below.
This thing is useful for everyone, but it is especially useful for him!
The Ministry of Revenue is responsible for the country's money and grain. The countless figures and extremely complicated summary are simply a headache.
Now, this troublesome problem has been solved.
The joy in his heart was self-evident, and he immediately reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask Your Majesty to test the table method in the Ministry of Revenue first!"
Although it is a good thing, it obviously cannot be rushed. There are too many accumulated matters in the world, and the Ministry of Revenue is too important.
Emperor Jing looked at Fang Zhengyi first.
Fang Zhengyi said, "Your Majesty, I think it is feasible. But if we want to move forward quickly, there are still many details that need to be understood by people in the Ministry of Revenue, and Dongjiao University has such talents."
"Why not first select a group of numerology talents from the Academy of Sciences and Dongjiao University and send them to the Ministry of Revenue to study, conduct small-scale learning and practice, and finally combine the court's experience to compile the use of the table method into a book, and then promote it to the whole country?"
Xu Wenshu immediately agreed: "I think what Lord Fang said makes sense!"
Emperor Jing was quite appreciative. Just as he was about to speak, Fang Zhengyi said, "But there is a problem. The Ministry of Revenue is a confidential department of the imperial court after all. Students of Dongjiao University are not officials. If their names are not right, then they can't speak properly... So, ahem, we have to arrange a position for them in the Ministry of Revenue, right? If not, we can set up a separate actuarial department to communicate with the Ministry of Revenue. What do you think?"
Before Emperor Jing spoke, Xu Wenshu opened his mouth and said hesitantly, "There are not so many vacancies. Besides, it's not appropriate! People in your place have never studied a proper book, so how can they become officials?"
Fang Zhengyi showed his displeasure on the spot: "Master Xu, how can you say that! I found you people from serious colleges and universities. What do you mean they haven't studied serious books? They even worked out the table method together!"
"Principal Fang, I don't mean to belittle you..."
"That's enough. Stop arguing." Emperor Jing made the decision, "This is a matter of great importance. Since the talents are selected by the Royal Academy of Sciences, I have decided to set up an actuarial department within the Ministry of Revenue to work with the Ministry of Revenue and allocate silver from the treasury. Do you have any objections, my dear ministers?"
