Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive

Chapter 28
"Assuming that the severance travel expenses are x, and the pension expenditure is y, 540 nine people were sacked, and 270 six people were killed in battle. Including rewards, the total expenditure was three catties, 20 yuan. It is known that the pension cost per person is more than severance Fei paid one thousand more..."

Zhong Ping bit the pen holder, feeling his head itching, he stretched out his hand to grab it, and there were several strands of hair entangled in the palm of his hand.

"Hey……"

Zhong Ping sighed, he felt that he was going to be doomed, and he couldn't even solve the equations in junior high school.If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my job.

When Zhong Ji opened the door and came in, there were piles of crumpled cloths piled up on the table.He picked up one and opened it, and saw that it was full of strange symbols.

"Hu'er, what is this?"

Zhong Ji is extremely confused, isn't Hu'er calculating the expenses in the palace?Why is it that there is no counting chip around, but a lot of cloth is used instead?
"Father!" Zhong Ping's eyes lit up, and he almost put the words "I won't come and teach me this question" directly on his forehead.

"Your Majesty asked the child to calculate the severance travel expenses and pension, but the child is stupid and really not proficient in arithmetic. Please ask my father to teach me."

"...Oh." After Zhong Ji listened carefully to Zhong Ping's description, he thought for a moment, rolled up his sleeves and said, "I haven't studied the way of numerology for my father, it's just a rough knowledge."

"Look, there are three packages for pensions, two packages for repatriation, and one package for reward, with real money of [-] yuan, on the right. The middle and left columns are listed on the right."

"Use the right line to comfort and multiply the middle line to eliminate directly. Multiply the second, and use straight to eliminate. However, use the middle line to dismiss those who are not exhausted. Multiply the left line and use straight to eliminate."

"The child is clumsy..."

Zhong Ping was completely dumbfounded. He once again doubted his IQ. Do I really have an IQ of 60?

Why can't I understand a word?

Now it's replaced by a sigh.

Did I really speak poorly? Why is Hu'er so dazed?
With Hu'er's intelligence, he even said he didn't understand, so it's still my problem, right?
"How did Hu'er calculate before?" Zhong Ji was about to change his mind.

Zhong Ping looked at the Arabic numerals and equations on his draft, lost in thought.

This, how do I explain this?

the other side

Sikong Mansion

Zhang Xi put down the scroll in his hand, looked at Dong Cheng with a gloomy expression, pretending to be puzzled: "Uncle Guo looks gloomy today, but what's on his mind?"

"Heh, why do you have to pretend, I don't believe you haven't heard anything about it." Dong Cheng's complexion was tense, and his already high cheekbones were even more prominent.

After Zhong Ping relinquished his military power, Wang Yun's control over the government became more complete.

In the past, Wang Yun came to power mainly because of his achievements in punishing Dong and Lu Bu's courage.In addition to His Majesty, Xun You, Zhong Ji, Wu Qiong and others supported the court, forming a lineage of its own.

Although Wang Yun is in power, it is nothing but wishful thinking to win the hearts of the court. There are many small factions among the officials.

After Lv Bu left, Wang Yun was not good at using troops in command, and everyone's minds became active immediately.

Most of them are waiting and watching: either they want to be alone, or they want to take the opportunity to get a share.

As a foreign relative, Dong Cheng was not only on the sidelines, but also inevitably had some thoughts of fighting for power in his heart.

After all, throughout the ages, when the emperor was young and unable to govern, he mostly relied on the power of his relatives to hold power.

Emperor Wen Dou Ying, Emperor Jing Tian Fu, Emperor Xuan Huo Guang...

These are all examples.

After Chang'an was besieged by Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, Dong Cheng couldn't help but feel happy despite his worries.

Almost none of the available and good defenders in the court are in Wang Yun's faction. If he can make good use of this opportunity, he will recruit generals and be under the threat of war.

Even if Wang Yun didn't want to, he still had to decentralize power, so the relatives could take advantage of the situation and rise up.

For this reason, Dong Cheng even found Zhang Xi, this seemingly open-minded and magnanimous Master Sikong secretly held a grudge.

Dong Cheng knew that Zhang Xi had always been at odds with Zhong Ji, and even had some opinions on Wang Yun, so he directly expressed his desire to fight for power.

Zhang Xi thought that His Majesty was young, and those in power in the court should put "virtue" first, and Wang Yun did not fit his position of "virtuous person" at all.

Zhang Xi even thought that Wang Yun was just the second "Dong Zhuo" with better means, so he chose to cooperate with Dong Cheng to bring down Wang Yun together.

It's just that neither of them expected that Wang Yun would hand over military power to Zhongping so decisively.

This was really beyond everyone's expectations, but Wang Yun's way of breaking the situation was astonishing.

Zhongping has enough reputation, enough supporters, and has no foundation in the court. In theory, he is the purest imperial party.

Apart from being too young, there is no excuse for criticism at all.

At the beginning, it could be said that the opponent had no experience in leading troops, but after Zhong Pinghuo attacked Zhang Ji, this reason became pale and weak.

Zhang Xi can only find some headstrong, reckless and aggressive names to put on Zhongping's head.

In fact, Zhang Xi admired Zhong Ping at first.

However, Zhong Ping actually said such absurd words as "building a monument for the dead soldiers" in the court hall, and Zhang Xi's impression of Zhong Ping plummeted.

Dong Cheng was overjoyed, but he was worrying about how to find the dark spot.Zhong Ping uttered such rebellious and inhumane words, it was exactly what others wanted, and he gave the handle to himself very simply.

Dong Cheng was about to step forward to impeach Zhong Ping, but Zhang Xi stopped him with his eyes.

After all, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou were still outside the city, and now using such an excuse to dismiss Zhong Ping would only shake the morale of the army for no reason, which would be detrimental to his plans.

Dong Cheng was unwilling to retreat.

Now Zhongping has completely won this battle, and it can even be said that he has won an unprecedented victory.

He is already a hot presence in the court, no matter which side he is on, he is a rare help.

Wang Yun has a kind of support, which is equivalent to a kind of flat support. In an instant, many people in the court switched to Wang Yun's subordinates.

Even though Dong Cheng had recruited many old Dong Zhuo generals like Yang Ding, it was still difficult for him to directly compete with Wang Yun.

"What do you think in your heart? If Wang Yun takes power completely, I will be suppressed by him later, and it will be too late to say anything at that time."

Dong Cheng slapped the table heavily, he was upset, his eyes were raised high, and he glared at Zhang Xi.

"Uncle Guo is anxious here, can we shake Wang Yun's position?"

Zhang Xi's eyes were still fixed on the scroll, and he answered unhurriedly.

"Wang Yun can't move, can't I touch his subordinates? In Xi's opinion, I might as well do some tricks on that kind of Boheng."

"Huh?" Dong Cheng became interested, but he had never been used to Zhong Ping.

"Do you still remember that Zhong Boheng wanted to erect a monument for the common people? Back then, we were under the siege outside the city and could not impeach him."

"Now that the situation has changed, the uncle of the country can secretly publicize this person's madness and tamper with the etiquette system."

"There is a saying in the "Book of Filial Piety": 'If you don't obey the laws of the former kings, you dare not obey them; if you don't follow the laws of the former kings, you don't dare to speak; if you don't practice the virtues of the former kings, you don't dare to do them. Therefore, if you don't speak the law, you must do it'."
