How many ways did people write a note in the past?

Five kinds.

What you are talking about is a way of writing that the State Language Committee requires Chinese characters to be simplified to the extreme. Such as two small and two small, with grass on the head, the same as the word "calculate". Later, the convening of the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee put the work of Chinese Language Committee back on the right track and scientifically corrected this extreme harm to Chinese characters! So, those words are out of fashion now. Therefore, the landlord can only find the word "Zhang" by hand, and it can only be used by individuals, because it is no longer useful.
