The Church was extremely influential during the medieval ages. They held the ability to disperse information because churches were scattered all over Europe. This enabled their network of monks and priests to share information very fast. Furthermore, they collected taxes from peasants very often in the form of goods (farm produce for example), this made them very rich.

Answer:
The use of the abacus was expanded and refined.
Explanation:
The abacus was invented during the Yuan Dynasty which lasted between 1206AD till 1368AD and then it was expanded and refined by the Ming Dynasty (1368AD-1644AD).
There have been archaeological proof of this as the writings of Tao Zongyi describes in his book that the new servants, unlike the older and more experienced ones were "just like abacus heads" and that they would not move unless they were made to move. This bears credence to the fact that the abacus was already widely used then.
An abacus was used to count numbers.
