Chapter 891 Statistics no longer exists!
Li Shanchang was so angry that he laughed.
What can you do about it?
Even though you, Yang the Madman, are involved in data fabrication, you're as tough as nails and a powerful son-in-law, so what can I do to you?
Li Shanchang said with a forced smile, "I thought the per capita data for Ningyang County included those laborers, and maybe even the short and ugly ones."
Yang Shaofeng rolled his eyes and snorted, "Short and clumsy? How could he be considered short and clumsy? In my eyes, that thing isn't even human."
Li Shanchang nodded slightly.
understood.
In your eyes, short and ugly, you're not even human.
Therefore, the per capita data for Ningyang County does not include short and stunted people.
However, you have included most of the laborers who have Ming Dynasty household registration in your count.
While internally ranting and raving, Li Shanchang said sarcastically, "Oh right, shorty doesn't count as a person, but laborers from the Korean and monkey countries are half a person, and those convicted officials and gentry can also be considered more than half a person, right?"
Yang Shaofeng's face grew increasingly dark.
It must be admitted that Li Shanchang, that old scoundrel, is indeed quite capable.
It was basically as he had predicted.
The per capita statistics for Ningyang County include newborns and elderly people who have recently passed away.
When necessary, even gentry and laborers with Ming Dynasty household registration would be included.
After all, these gentry and their relatives were serving hard labor in Ningyang County, and their Ming Dynasty household registration had not been cancelled.
How can they not be considered human?
The only mistake Li Shanchang made was that the number of Korean and monkey laborers was not half, but five equaled one.
This is the algorithm proposed by the Liu family, also known as the Five Calculations.
Yang Shaofeng was internally ranting, while Li Shanchang continued to mock him.
"I've learned something new."
"So poor that you're practically dead" has a specific explanation.
"There is also a specific explanation for the per capita data."
"Tsk."
"No wonder some people say that I am an official from the countryside in the south."
"That's exactly right."
Li Shanchang made a few more sarcastic remarks, then suddenly led the way towards a tavern by the roadside.
"Ningyang Roast Duck".
"Duck blood and vermicelli soup".
"Ningyang steamed buns".
"Ningyang braised pork offal".
"Ningyang White Cut Chicken".
"Ningyang Banmian (a type of noodle dish)".
"..."
Li Shanchang finally couldn't hold back anymore.
Beast!
How did Nanjing's oven-roasted duck become Ningyang roasted duck?
It's clearly a white-cut chicken dish from Guangdong, so how did it become Ningyang white-cut chicken?
It's supposed to be Fuyang Banmian from my hometown, but I first experienced the legendary Dengzhou Banmian in Dengzhou, and now I've seen Ningyang Banmian in Ningyang County.
What the hell is this?
Is this considered serving two ways?
Especially after the Ningyang noodles were served, Li Shanchang was so angry that he almost cursed.
Ningyang Banmian (a type of noodle dish) actually contains beef!
beef!
Li Shanchang poked at the noodles and meat in his bowl with his chopsticks, then picked up a piece of beef the size of a dice and said with a dark face, "Your Highness, even if the people of Ningyang County only eat one bowl of noodles a month, they'll probably still have to eat an ounce of beef."
Yang Shaofeng's expression changed, and he finally snorted coldly, saying, "The meat consumed in teahouses, taverns, and restaurants is not counted in the average meat intake per person."
Offal such as pig heart, pig liver, pig lungs, pig trotters, and pig tail are not considered meat.
"Birds caught by ordinary people, fish caught by them, cicadas caught in trees—none of these are considered meat."
"Only the clean meat that people buy at the supply and marketing cooperative will be counted in the per capita meat intake."
Li Shanchang and Zhu Biao were completely dumbfounded.
Can it still be calculated this way?
So, meat that isn't sold through a supply and marketing cooperative isn't considered meat?
So if a person doesn't buy meat from the supply and marketing cooperative, no matter how much meat he eats, it's the same as not eating meat at all?
Hu Weiyong also looked thoughtful.
Sure enough, only the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Back then, Yang Shaofeng tricked a large amount of cattle, horses, and grain from the superiors and the Crown Prince by feigning poverty and playing the victim.
When I arrived in Liaodong, I neither complained about being poor nor played the victim. As a result, the higher-ups and the imperial court simply forgot to send cattle, horses, and grain to Liaodong.
No.
I still have to cry, and I have to use this algorithm to play the victim and cry even more miserably than Yang the Madman.
People in Liaodong can't even afford to eat a tael or two of meat a year.
People in Liaodong couldn't afford to buy a single piece of clothing even after a year.
The per capita grain reserves and per capita income of the people in Liaodong were shockingly low.
That's true poverty to the core.
As for the fish in the puddles of Liaodong, and the roe deer and pheasants in the woods, don't worry about them. Those things aren't even considered meat in "Ningyang Statistics".
Just as Hu Weiyong was pondering this, Li Shanchang suddenly burst into laughter.
Do you know what I just discovered?
"I've come to the astonishment that statistics no longer exists!"
"The statistics were proposed by you, Yang the Madman."
"It no longer exists!"
"So this thing actually has two completely different algorithms!"
Li Shanchang said with a dark face, "Because of these two completely different algorithms, all the data is normal without Ningyang County, and it is also normal to have false data with Ningyang County."
“Once we include the actual data from Ningyang County, I’m afraid these seemingly normal data will become a complete mess.”
"Oh, perhaps it's not just Ningyang County, we might also have to include Dengzhou Prefecture?"
Li Shanchang reached out and grabbed a clove of garlic. While peeling the garlic, he mocked a certain prince consort: "I now suspect that there are four or more counties in our Great Ming Dynasty that are also seriously falsifying their data."
Yang Shaofeng simply snorted coldly.
What constitutes serious data fabrication?
These are just two different algorithms.
Why use two completely different algorithms?
It's all because your Ming Dynasty officials are so incompetent!
As for whether there are more than forty other counties where data falsification also occurred...
Why don't you go ask those forty-odd county magistrates, but instead ask me?
Hu Weiyong quietly narrowed his eyes.
More than forty county magistrates?
Our Great Ming Dynasty has about ten provincial administration commissions.
Liaodong is one of them.
So, it's not unreasonable for Liaodong to need four county magistrates like this, is it?
There are four county magistrates like this. It wouldn't be too much to ask me to gradually promote them to prefects, would it?
If there are four such prefects, can they produce forty or even more similar county magistrates?
Most importantly, these four prefects had all worked in the workshops of Ningyang County and knew exactly how to run a workshop.
Li Shanchang ignored Yang Shaofeng and Hu Weiyong, and after exchanging pleasantries with Zhu Biao, he reached for the "Ningyang Banmian" in his bowl with his chopsticks.
