The little princess' mind was read, and the court and harem were eating melons

When Li Qingyi said that to the system, he was actually tentatively hinting to the emperor.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, when Li Qingyi saw Huang Kang coming to greet him, he smiled brilliantly: "Eunuch Huang, has father finished his work?"

Huang Kang looked at the Eleventh Princess' smile and thought that the little princess' smile was really beautiful. It made people feel sweet just by looking at her. He also unconsciously showed a sincere smile on his face. He bowed and said, "Yes, the adults have already left. The emperor knows you are here, so he asked the servant to take you over."

In fact, it was just a few steps away, so when we said we were picking her up, we actually just wanted to inform Li Qingyi.

Li Qingyi politely declined Huang Kang's idea of ​​carrying her over and trotted into the main hall. When she looked up, she saw her own father sitting at the desk, writing something. She subconsciously slowed down her steps.

Although the emperor did not look up, he knew Li Qingyi was coming when he heard the familiar footsteps, and said directly: "Yier, have you been waiting for a long time? Come to me."

Seeing the emperor's attitude, Li Qingyi knew that he was probably not dealing with any important matters at the moment, so he became cheerful again. He looked around and saw that there were no outsiders around, so he trotted directly to the emperor.

The emperor just wrote the last word at this moment, put down his pen, bent sideways naturally, picked up Li Qingyi, and after adjusting the position in his arms, he allowed Li Qingyi to see what was on his desk.

Li Qingyi also glanced at it subconsciously, but before he could see the content clearly, he was startled by the familiar yet unfamiliar squares.

Li Qingyi subconsciously shouted in his heart: [Fuck, a table? ]

Then, the surprise soon subsided, and Li Qingyi said: [Ah, it must be Li Zhu or Wang Xuan who came up with it. Yes, the table is quite useful.]

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly.

The system might have checked at this moment and told Li Qingyi: [Li Zhu submitted a memorial to the Crown Prince, which used the form. The Crown Prince thought it was useful, so he asked Li Zhu about it. He learned that Li Zhu and the people in the Ministry of Revenue had used it privately for some time, but had not used it in official documents for the time being.]

System: [Then the Crown Prince looked at the data table that Li Zhu had recorded privately and thought it was very good, so he recommended it to the Emperor. The Emperor has only started trying it in the past two days, so it may be promoted in a while.]

Li Qingyi: [We have the tables, so the statistical charts should not be far away? Oh, no matter which of them came up with it, I am afraid that some people will love it and some will hate it. The clearer the data, the harder it will be for those who want to embezzle. ]

Li Qingyi thought so, and his tone rose a little, and it was obvious that he was in a better mood: [But whether the corrupt official is happy or not, what does it have to do with me? Hehe. ]

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but curl his lips, but then he thought of something, and when he spoke, it was as if he didn't hear what Li Qingyi said in his heart, and he introduced it to Li Qingyi: "This is what your nephew came up with. He said it was called a table. Your brother thought it was useful, so he brought it to me to have a look."

"I think this table is quite useful, but it is a new thing after all, so there are bound to be some mistakes and omissions. I have tried it privately in the past few days and it is indeed useful, especially some numbers, which become more clear at a glance in the table."

The emperor asked Li Qingyi with a smile: "What do you think, Yi'er?"

What does Li Qingyi think?

That’s great!

In fact, the prototype of the table had already existed before this, and the earliest one can be traced back to the period of knotted cords.

In that era, in order to facilitate calculations in transactions, people began to draw and write on the ground with a small wooden stick, and gradually, didn’t the first statistical tables come into being?

Of course, the table here does not mean drawing a grid and filling in data, but a means of organizing and collating data.

However, in the era in which Li Qingyi currently lives, there is no such convenience as being able to automatically generate a table by simply clicking a button, and the table placed before the emperor is obviously drawn by hand with grids of appropriate sizes before filling in the content.

This is certainly inconvenient, but it does not affect its practicality.

Li Qingyi: "Father, I think all of you should learn this form."

Li Qingyi: "This form can not only be used to record the expenditure of these funds, but also record the changes of officials and so on. Keep a file every year and every month. The characters do not need to be particularly large, but should be written clearly. One piece of paper is enough for each department."

Li Qingyi: "Oh, by the way, this way, Father can assign responsibilities to people for each item and each task, and keep a file. Especially for things like dam repair and construction, they are all archived, and personnel changes are recorded once. This way, if there are any quality problems with the dam in a few years, it will be very convenient to check!"

As he spoke, Li Qingyi turned around and looked at the emperor. When he met his father's smiling eyes, he suddenly felt that what he had just said seemed to have crossed the line a little bit, so he added: "But these are just some of my simple ideas, a little naive, and there must be some inappropriate places. How to really use this thing is still up to your father to decide."

Oh my, her mind is indeed a little active today, and she talks a lot!

Li Qingyi didn't want her own father to misunderstand her thoughts on state affairs, or think that she wanted to be a regent princess in the future. She was not that diligent.

It's okay to provide some suggestions, but if she is asked to really get involved and worry about the country and the people every day until her head goes bald, Li Qingyi said she can't do it, she can't do it, she doesn't have that ability.

I was shaking my head madly inwardly.

While thinking this, Li Qingyi was completely unaware that she was not worried at all that her biological father, the emperor, would misunderstand her for having such thoughts and think that she posed a threat to the Li family's empire and thus kill her.

The emperor was listening with great interest. Noticing Li Qingyi's sudden change of attitude, he looked at the well-behaved little girl in his arms and shook his head: "Although it is indeed a little immature, it is also a good idea. However, this kind of thing affects the entire body. Many policies, from proposal to approval to implementation, cannot be solved with a simple sentence."

"I will discuss this idea with your brother later."

The emperor may be difficult to get along with in the eyes of some people, but in fact he is not an autocratic emperor. This can be seen from the fact that he is willing to discuss state affairs with his son and sometimes adopt the prince's suggestions as appropriate, rather than acting entirely according to his own wishes.

Yes, if he was really that kind of autocratic emperor, Li Qingyi’s life would not be so easy.
