Chapter VI Ancestral Accounting Law

Le Lin thought about it, and said to Zheng Youliang: "Shopkeeper Zheng, can I look at the account book?"

As the saying goes, the food of the king, the worry of the king, she used the body of this "Le Lin" to eat and drink in the Hou Mansion of Anguo, let her also make some contributions to the Hou Mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info What's more, in case the jade pendant is not found, and the Anguo Houfu is bankrupt again, she really doesn't know where to drink the northwest wind.

Zheng Youliang was a little nervous, but he had already expected that the young owner would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and he would definitely look for the account. The concern is that for the past year and a half, the surplus has not been impressive. After thinking about it, at least I kept my duty, never deducted the owner's money, and suddenly felt much calmer.

In less than a moment, Zheng Youliang handed over a few account books with a thickness of more than an inch, and also prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

After looking at it for a while, Lelin had a big headache - because the bookkeeping methods of this era are completely different from modern concepts. The accounts recorded in the ledger are still relatively simple single-entry bookkeeping, and one note is recorded, that is, the ledger is recorded. And inventory, income, and expenses are all recorded in the same book, which is dazzling to look at.

After taking a sip of tea, Le Lin quietly looked at Zheng Youliang, seeing that his expression was not very different, and the worries in his heart disappeared a lot. But in vain, I am afraid of falling into the laughing stock of people.

It's just that this kind of messy running account, Le Lin really can't stand it.

After thinking for a while, Le Lin asked Chuanxiong and Rhubarb who were waiting behind her, "Do you know how to write?"

The two looked at each other, the more introverted rhubarb blushed a little embarrassedly, Chuanxiong was straighter, and said loudly: "Back to the young master's words, no." ”

Le Lin didn't expect that the two nurses sent by the Shi family couldn't read, so she had to smile at Zheng Youliang and said, "Shopkeeper Zheng, I won't read this kind of account." ”

Zheng Youliang was not only happy, but worried.

The Marquis of Anguo's Mansion is now such a man as Lelang, and the family business will be in his hands sooner or later. Other merchants' families, like the Tao family, the Yao family, and the Xin family, none of their young owners have been exposed to the business in Fuzhong since childhood. The young owner in front of him didn't even know how to read the account book.

Zheng Youliang is not the son of Lejia, but he has never regarded himself as an outsider.

I remembered that at the beginning, he was not a person from Ruyi Zhai, but a miscellaneous apprentice of another time-honored Juzhen Pavilion, working and studying, diligent and diligent every day, looking forward to one day being promoted to be a buddy, saving enough money, returning to the countryside to ask for a family, and giving birth to a fat doll to inherit the family is satisfied.

I never thought that one day the old owner would come to check the accounts and find that there was a lack of money and silver, and the old shopkeeper of Juzhen Pavilion actually accumulated it early in the morning, did a lot of tricks, and blamed him for the matter. He still remembers that the old owner was so angry that he threw the ledger in his face, and he dodged it, and the ledger hit Lexin, a regular customer who came to buy jewelry.

The old owner was so angry that he forgot to apologize to Lexin, and only beckoned his subordinates to beat Zheng Youliang ruthlessly.

Lexin was not annoyed, he copied the account book, flipped through it for a while, and then stopped the person who beat Zheng Youliang, borrowed a reason, and helped him redeem the long contract.

Zheng Youliang still remembers that on the street in front of the Suzaku Gate, he said timidly and sadly: "Young Master Le, I really haven't done that sorry for the owner......"

"I know. ”

Zheng Youliang was both moved and amazed - he had been an apprentice in Juzhen Pavilion for three or four years, and he was not conscientious and loyal for a moment, but in the end, he believed that he was innocent, but he was a guest who was only a few faces. The strange thing is that the shopkeeper has the intention to blame, and he is a veteran, and even the owner has never seen the means of planting the pile, how did Le Gongzi know that he was wronged?

As if understanding his doubts, Lexin said casually: "Your shopkeeper's accounts are doing well, and they seem to have no flaws, but they can't stand scrutiny, and the essence is full of loopholes." ”

Zheng Youliang was even more shocked. He has been learning to keep accounts with the old shopkeeper for more than a year, and he asks himself if his talent is not low, in the account book, the stake planting methods are so ingenious, even if he hands it to the court, he can't return his innocence. The person in front of him was only in his early twenties, but after turning over the ledger for a while, it turned out to be full of loopholes.

At this moment, in his heart, it is no longer the word admiration that can be described.

Seeing that he was stunned, Le Xin thought that he was still not at ease, so he patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I missed a white jade wrench in the Treasure Pavilion earlier, and you also helped me find it." That wrench is worth more than a thousand yuan, and if you are not greedy for ink, how can you delusionally think about that few hundred yuan?"

Zheng Youliang couldn't hear what Lexin was saying, and he only had one thought in his heart: "If you can learn from this master, I really don't know what kind of gains you will have." ”

At that time, he was less than twenty, and he didn't know that the person in front of him was the son of the Marquis of Anguo, and he never thought that he would have a later creation, but only wanted to learn an amazing bookkeeping craft.

He knelt down with a puff, and kept kowtowing: "Young Master Le, today's great grace, for the cattle and horses, I will not give up! Please accept me as an apprentice, no, no! Accept me as a slave and a servant, accept me as a servant, accept me in whatever you want, just ask for the great kindness of the son!"

Lexin saw through his careful thoughts at a glance, shook his head with a sigh, and said, "Get up, it just so happens that there is a lack of bookkeeper by my side," seeing his grateful appearance, he smiled: "But in the future, my method is the secret of the family heirloom, not everyone can learn it, let alone anyone can learn it." ”

"It must be, it must be. Zheng Youliang wiped his tears and said in his heart, following Le Gongzi's side, even if he doesn't learn everything, half or thirty percent of what he learns, he will be used for life. Besides, as long as this craft is only used to help the son keep accounts, and never use it externally, he will not be considered an ungrateful person.

But I never thought that after a few years, when Zheng Youliang learned some fur, Lexin suddenly became obsessed with playing in the mountains and rivers, leaving aside the business in the house, and often going out for several years. Le Song, who later took over, although he can also read and write accounts, his skills are not as good as his own.

The secret of the Lejia heirloom and the miraculous bookkeeping skills have become a mystery to this day.

In the end, how did the old marquis see through the shopkeeper's fake accounts for a moment, this mystery, Zheng Youliang probably had to take it to the coffin.

The young owner in front of him, with picturesque eyebrows and polite literary quality, looks closely, and the fresh and handsome old marquis is somewhat similar.

Alas, alas, what a pity. Zheng Youfu sighed in his heart.

The Marquis of Anguo doesn't know what bad luck it has done, and one generation is not as good as the next. Although Le Song does not have much talent for business, he is not good at money, so he can read the accounts.

This young owner can't even read the account.
