The poisonous widow, who has experienced the ups and downs of the world, suppressed the vibration in her heart and tried her best to keep her face calm.

As they spoke, the three of them had already arrived at the study. It seemed that the countryside Laocai also liked to be arty during his lifetime. Although the layout of the room was a bit inconsistent, there were quite a lot of books. Tang Que looked at the three rows of bookshelves roughly, and estimated that the total number was not less than 300 books.

"Are there any geese raised in the village?" Tang Que asked casually when he took the teacup handed by Sister Lan.

This question was really abrupt. Sister Lan was stunned for a moment before saying, "There are chickens, ducks and geese."

"Then I'll help Sister Lan to help me find a few goose feathers to find me for the hard feathers on my tail." After saying this, Tang Que looked at the bookshelf and turned his head to the poisonous widow, "I want to see the books in the mansion, do you mind, do you?"

"Ah...you can do it anyway."

"Madam..." The poisonous widow couldn't understand Tang Que's meaning, so she waved her hand and asked Lan Caoer to do as she did.

After watching Lancao walk out of the study room, the poisonous widow who withdrew her gaze and then fell on Tang Que who was wandering in front of the bookshelf. However, the curiosity at the beginning was gone in this look, and it was more about exploration, with a faint hint of gratitude mixed with a few natural expressions.

Looking at Tang Que's eyes wandering on the bookshelf with interest, watching him hug his arms in front of his chest and support his jaw with one hand, and watching his feet wander leisurely... In short, in the eyes of the poisonous widow, all Tang Cheng's actions were never seen in anyone who knew him. They were a bit strange, but this strangeness revealed an indescribable demeanor, concentration, calmness, but also a bit of the unceremonious elegance and freedom of the legendary talents.

Tang Que naturally did not expect that the poisonous widow behind him was observing him so carefully. Now he was the attitude of visiting the school library library in later generations. The books on the bookshelf were nothing more than the Four Books and Five Classics. There were also many collections or collections of previous poets. Sometimes several kinds of books could be found, but these did not arouse his interest.

Until he slowly walked to the far right side of the third horizontal frame, Tang Que's eyes suddenly lit up and he reached out to pull out the book "Shuowen Jiezi".

"Shuowen Jiezi" is abbreviated as "Shuowen". It is a book written by Xu Shen, a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty, spent 21 years. It is the first dictionary in the history of Chinese language to analyze the shape of characters, explain the meaning of characters, and identify the sound reading. Of course, this epoch-making book in the history of linguistics has many important significance, but those are not something that Tang Que was interested in. What he was interested in was the most basic function of this book - the dictionary.

After Tang Que opened the page and successfully found out the word "Tang" with radical examination method, the stone in his heart fell completely.

There is naturally no problem with counting when handling accounts. Tang Que has to pass the championship of the whole district mental arithmetic competition, and he has more than enough daily application. As for writing, this is why he wants Goose Yu. Anyway, this is not a literary conference or a subject, and he will have high requirements for calligraphy. Among the three items, writing is the most troublesome. However, as a later graduate of the Chinese Department of 211 University, Tang Que cannot fully recognize traditional Chinese characters, but there is no big problem with some basic calculations. I think there will be no too rare words to do accounting in a rural village. It is precisely because of these three points that Tang Que, who is too short of money, revealed the notice. But although he thought so, he was still a little worried. Now that he has this dictionary, at least there is nothing he can worry about in the work in front of him.

After putting "Shuowen Jiezi" on the desk, when Tang Que held a goose feather in his hand and dipped it in the thick ink in the inkstone to write the poem "Ode to the Goose" by Luo Binwang, a famous poet of the Wuhou Dynasty, the surprised expressions on the faces of the poisonous widow and the maid still did not change.

If Tang Que can't write, the eighteen words in front of them are clearly in front of them. On the surface, they all look pretty good; but if he can write, who... who has seen someone who writes with goose feathers? Not to mention that he has seen them, even if he hasn't heard them?

But no matter how surprised it is, one thing is certain, that is, no matter what he uses, the words he writes are ultimately written, and there will be no problems with accounting.

Then, Tang Que showed his "magic skill" mental arithmetic level in the surprised eyes of the master and maids. Often, when Sister Lan reported the numbers before, Tang Que had already reported the answer casually, but at this time the poisonous widow on the side did not even fiddle with the abacus beads.

Although this hand was exposed, the poisonous widow felt incredible. Lan Jie'er's eyes were almost unconcealed admiration. When she felt such eyes, Tang Que was in a good mood and was also a little ashamed. The words used in "Ode to the Goose" just now were exactly the same as those used in later generations. After all, it was a poem written by Luo Bingwang when he was seven years old, so naturally nothing was too rare. This avoided the embarrassment of showing his ugly face and flipping the dictionary. As for the calculations later, it was even simpler. The most difficult question in the questions reported by Lan Jie'er did not have more than double-digit multiplication, and he could handle it even without mental arithmetic training.

At this point, the poisonous widow no longer doubted Tang Que's ability to do accounts, although she was still surprised why Tang Cheng had such great ability.

From this, Tang Que also knew the reason why the poisonous widow suddenly rushed to recruit accounts, but shortly after Emperor Zhongzong ascended the throne, he issued an edict to re-invest land, population and livestock in various states in the world, and verify the amount of tax collection of rent and taxes in local archives. Although the Ministry of Revenue also knew that there was a clear background in the court struggle after this edict, the more so the Ministry of Revenue did not dare to be negligent. In addition to writing local supervision, a large number of officials and officials from the four departments of the headquarters were sent to the local supervision site. As a result, the first major policy arranged by the new emperor after ascending the throne was vigorously promoted in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Originally, things like this that would be the last one every ten or twenty years were nothing. The place would be dealt with in accordance with the French style of the past, but this time the style was really wrong, so the place was extremely nervous. Not to mention that the Ministry of Revenue has strictly ordered the completion time of this matter to be within one year, you should know that such a huge project would have to be at least one and a half years, and it would have to be delayed for two or three years. Just look at the faces of the officials of the Ministry of Revenue who came to supervise, it also made officials at all levels feel cold. They would not eat wine, and they would look like they were doing business again. Even Bing Jing, who was filial to various places, did not accept the poor capital officials. What does this mean?

The Ministry of Revenue is so nervous that the local officials who think about the black hat on their heads are becoming more and more harsh. Not only does they urge their subordinates to die, but they also issued a notice to the masters of great business in the jurisdiction. Not only do they need to cooperate with the land and mu to measure, but they also hand over the accounts of their family in the past four or eight years. As for the purpose of doing this, they are naturally prepared for the future. Everyone can see that the current political scent of the court is somewhat wrong, and at least they have to keep a capital to protect themselves. As for chasing the first three, it is natural that if there is something wrong, it is natural that if there is something wrong in the officialdom, it is a tradition of not chasing the former. Although the officialdom has the tradition of not chasing the former, if you really encounter such a harsh situation, if you are involved in your black hat and even your life, you will not care about it.

As the landlord with the largest industry within a radius of 100 miles, the rich and well-known family in Yunxi County naturally could not escape. It was precisely because she had relatives working in the county government, she discovered the importance of this matter more and more. However, there was no scholar in her village who wanted to do the accounting office. It was nothing in the past. Now, when the accounts were to be submitted to the county government for filing, she was anxious, so she had the notice outside the village school.

When the Poison Widow introduced the backgrounds he heard from his relatives to Tang Que, Lan Jie'er had already brought in the account books that Poison Widow had kept in the past few years, and a large pile of thick stacks were piled on the desk beside Tang Que.

He opened the top book with casual ease. After seeing the account book, Tang Que's face, who had been stunned for a moment, suddenly had a smile on his face. With his smile, the poisonous widow's face became dizzy and shy.
