Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

For Zhuo Jing.

Not to mention that he had been secretly paying attention to the various accounts involved in the mining and sales of anthracite, even Yang Daqiang, the person in charge of the mine in Yuanzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, did not notice any clues.

However, His Majesty, who was almost completely out of this matter and busy with all kinds of affairs, had a clear mind.

The mystery and wonder in this.

Anyone can't help but be curious.

In particular, Zhuo Jing is in charge of auditing and has been in contact with accounts for many years.

He hesitated for a long time, but finally took a deep breath and suppressed all the doubts and curiosity in his mind. "Your Majesty, please judge with wisdom. How can I be qualified to pry into the secrets of this matter? This is inappropriate."

He worked under Zhu Yunhuan for quite a long time.

Zhuo Jing certainly knew his temper well: when nothing happened, he would always be smiling, and those who didn't know him would just think he was a dandy and incompetent ruler, but if he got angry...

Everyone wants to know this method of verifying accounts. In other words, it is best not to let anyone know!

The expression on Zhuo Jing's face changed.

Zhu Yunhuan was leaning against the couch and could see everything clearly.

I played a little trick here, and several mines in Huainan, Huaibei, Jiangxi... were thrown into chaos. The most important thing is that once this matter gets out, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom...

It’s not difficult to guess what the other person is thinking.

However, Zhu Yunhuan did not say anything - Zhuo Jing was right, of course, but it would be strange if he could tell him this method!

in fact.

Zhu Yunhuan is not as powerful as those confused people think.

This time, the corruption crackdown used a data pattern summarized by later generations - the so-called "Benford's Law".

In many naturally occurring data, the probability of numbers with a smaller first digit is higher than the probability of numbers with a larger first digit.

According to common intuition.

Among a large number of numbers, the probability of each number appearing should be the same. Numbers with "1", "2" ... "9" as the first digit should each account for one-ninth of the total.

But in fact.

In fact, the number of numbers with "1" as the first digit is as high as over 30%, while the number of words with "2" as the first digit is only a dozen percent... and so on, decreasing in sequence.

to numbers starting with "9".

The probability of this happening is less than 5%.

In a pile of data, the larger the number, the lower the probability of the numbers starting with it appearing.

In other words.

If there are many accounts with "9" as the first digit in a pile of accounts, Zhu Yunhuan can pick out one at random and check it carefully. He will be almost 95% sure... that there will be something wrong with this account.

Even in the 21st century, this method can be used to make preliminary judgments on some accounts, economic data, stock data, etc.

In Zhu Yunhuan's view, this is indeed just a little trick of using the experience of later generations, but it is also the result of generations of research and exploration over a long period of time.

In this era, mathematics is still at the most basic stage, and no one is studying these trivial things. Even to the smartest people... it seems like magical skills.

This method is not 100% certain though.

But it is also very useful.

This time, Zhu Yunhuan was lucky enough. The several account books he drew out were all within the "ninety-five percent" probability of falsification, which made Zhu Yunhuan seem even more incredible.

Of course, this result is certainly the best for Zhu Yunhuan.

He launched a major case with cruel methods...

The purpose is to deter, and now the result of "hitting the target every time and performing miraculous tasks" is most conducive to deterrence!
