Two people were waiting for him.
A Chang'an ten thousand years ago. One is in present-day Shangluo County.
The carriage creaked and creaked as it moved forward. Along the way, Li Zhen finally saw what a big scene was.
Passed by Dongzhou. The governor of the state and the princess of the whole state came to meet him with ten thousand troops.
Li Zhen also intentionally exchanged some pleasantries with them. If the Yanziji incident had any impact, it would be that he would no longer be able to choose Imperial College.
Fuxing University, located in Dongzhou, became his only choice. Now that he has established a good relationship with the officials in Dongzhou, Li Zhen understands that his future will be easier.
Unfortunately, I didn't see anyone from Fuxing University when I passed by Dongzhou, otherwise we could have reached some deals privately.
"What are you writing?"
Mingkang asked curiously.
He found that Li Zhen didn't have many books with him, but he carried a lot of notebooks. Along the way, Li Zhen kept writing something, even drawing pictures.
Li Zhen smiled: "It's nothing."
Mingkang pointed to the dense numbers on the notebook: "What do these numbers represent?"
"Data from county to city."
Mingkang stared: "How do you know these data?"
"I saw it."
"Can you see this? This should be the GDP of each county, right? I understand. Is this table the size of the city's population and the main income of the people?"
"right."
Li Zhen used a pen to write something in the notebook again, and then fell into silence.
Not only Guang Kang, Qi Lengzi was also very confused: "I didn't see you asking those officials any questions. How can you know the GDP of other cities?"
Mingkang quickly echoed: "That's right. I don't see who you are asking."
Li Zhen smiled and closed the notebook: "There is no need to ask. I don't want to know the specific data of a city, and I don't need to ask them to get it accurate to single digits. I can almost calculate it by just observing it with a pair of eyes. Probably."
Mingkang asked curiously: "How did you calculate it?"
"Let's talk about Luyang County. We stayed in Luyang County for a day and visited the county town of Luyang County. In the center of the county town, the price of a house is about one gold coin per square meter, which is 1,000 coins per square meter. So It can be compared with Hangcheng County. The house price in Hangcheng County is 450 yuan per square meter. Luyang County is 550 yuan higher than Hangcheng County. It is 2.222 times that of Hangcheng County. Only three digits of the decimal point are omitted. "
"House prices are linked to many factors such as local GDP, per capita income, per capita consumption, and people's spending power. Because there are many linked factors, the error will not be too big when calculating GDP based on housing prices. Then I know that the annual GDP of Hangcheng County is 400,000 gold coins, which is 400,000,000 Kyushu coins. 400,000 gold coins, multiplied by 2.222, rounded, the rough estimate of the annual GDP of Luyang County is 890,000 gold coins."
Mingkang was dumbfounded. He opened his mouth wide and marveled at these scholars. Can this be calculated
Qi Lengzi was confused. He had never been to school and could not understand what he was hearing. Na Na asked, "You mean, the entire county of Luyang can earn 890,000 gold coins a year?"
Li Zhen ignored him and continued speaking briskly:
"There will be some errors in estimating the GDP of a county based only on housing prices. Therefore, it is necessary to combine rice prices, oil prices, meat prices and other fresh and hard currencies to make a balanced calculation. In addition, I am in Luyang The county observed a major commercial street. There were a total of 1,230 merchants on the commercial street. 800 of them were ready-made clothing stores. Among the 800 stores, 129 were brand-name stores targeting high-end consumer groups... "
"Convert based on the length of the commercial street and the facade. Compare the commercial streets in Hangcheng County and the commercial streets in other areas along the way to calculate and average. Then, observe the flow of people on the ten-meter-long street during the same time period."
"Calculate comprehensively the flow of people within one minute at the same time and length. Convert based on the total number of people in the county disclosed by the entire Luyang County. You can know the approximate percentage of groups with spending power in Luyang County. And record every The percentage of people's consumption power in each city, you can see at a glance which city is richer and which city has stronger consumption power."
"After taking a look at the situation, we can then perform conversions based on the existing conditions and existing data. We can accurately see whether in a county, the government has money, or the people have money. Whether the county is poor, the people are rich, or the county is rich, the people are poor. Passed Compare the city's GDP with the percentage of people's consumption capacity. Observe the data of other counties and cities. You can conclude... which county and city have a large demand for which types of items, and which county and city have any omissions? A county and city need what they need, and which county and city are saturated with what they need."
“…”
Mingkang and Qi Lengzi were dumbfounded the whole time.
The two of them squatted in front of Li Zhen dumbfounded, watching as Li Zhen's upper and lower lips collided, and shocking words came out.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Mingkang said: "You are too scary! If the local princess knows that you can see through so much data, he will probably collapse, right? Princesses from all over Kyushu are very secretive about these data. . Some places want court assistance and will under-report. Some places want to flatter themselves and over-report. No one can analyze these data. The data are all in the hands of the princesses themselves. Most of them It's a lie.
You... you didn't even need to ask. Can it be directly analyzed that they are almost inseparable? You are so horrible. If the princes of the counties knew that you still had this ability, they would probably want to kill you. "
Li Zhen chuckled: "Since I serve the empire, I have to start from scratch. If I accurately understand the data of each county, I will not be blinded by which area I am suddenly assigned to serve in the future. The most important thing is that the imperial court must know of these data.”
"Why? The imperial court knew some of the situation, but it couldn't compile such huge data, so they turned a blind eye. There have been no mistakes for so many years. It's all unspoken rules."
"That's different. If all the counties in Kyushu lied about data, the imperial court would suffer too much. This involves a big problem of uneven distribution of resources. A county is already saturated, but it lied about data. Then the imperial court will Within the limited resources, more is allocated to this county. In fact, this county is already saturated, and it just eats more and occupies more. Then naturally, under limited resources, some people eat more and occupies more, while others cannot. It’s here. In this way, the areas that need it will not be able to get it, and the areas that don’t need it will always get it, and the wasted resources will skyrocket. The scary thing is that the court still doesn’t know that a lot of things are wasted... "
Mingkang was speechless: "Then... after you enter Beijing, do you want to give this notebook to the court?"
Li Zhen laughed loudly: "I am also a person with some political IQ. I only need to know this notebook myself. I will seek my position in it, and I will not seek politics if I am not in my position. If I hand it over rashly, most people will be affected. benefits, but in fact, this notebook will not make any waves in the end. It just makes enemies for myself for no reason. I hope brother Ming will keep it a secret for me."
Mingkang nodded and quickly forgot about this matter. He knew that Li Zhen could tell him the principle of the data in this notebook, but he was not afraid that he would tell it.
Because if this notebook is left out, no one will benefit. It is impossible for the imperial court to carry out any major rectification just because of a notebook. On the contrary, I will hate a group of people because of a notebook...
Qi Lengzi looked at Li Zhen with some fear and said, "You are such a fucking talent."
Li Zhen smiled indifferently, blowing the gentle breeze and looking at the scenery of the empire...
He has a mature political mindset - he does not seek political advice unless he is in his position.
In fact, nothing can change the fate of being a bad good person. The only thing that can be changed is that you die by a sword or axe.
And these data. Only when it is in its position will it become useful and become a sharp sword!
This sharp sword will not threaten the interests of some people. Therefore, this sharp sword can always be held in Li Zhen's hand and last forever...
Zhang Zhi taught him the truth, which is the philosophy of life of the Chinese people in China for five thousand years - sharp and moderate.
