Chapter 220: Reckoning

In the evening, Shi Jingxuan came over with Uncle Tang, because the second girl was still sleeping, they were waiting at Grandpa's house, and they were not in a hurry to settle the account.

Grandpa Tai has a lot of family, and everyone is gathered here, not in a hurry to calculate the money. They were all curious about whether they could get more money by selling food to the army. It's just that Wang Shoujiang and Shi Jingxuan are both human spirits, and they don't mention the price of food.

It wasn't until the time of the lamp that Erya woke up. Listening to the nurse, Shi Jingxuan and Uncle Tang were waiting for her grandfather to settle the account, so they hurriedly washed up, took two mouthfuls of food, and rushed over.

At this time, the rest of the Wang family had no patience to spend any more time here because they had never been able to get the exact inside information, and they all went home one by one, what should they do.

When the second girl arrived, Shi Jingxuan was busy reconciling with Uncle Tang, and the eldest grandmother was sitting on the side and watching.

When I entered the hall and didn't see my grandfather and uncle, Er Ya felt very strange. This hall can be said to be the "base" of Grandpa, twelve hours a day, Grandpa Tai has to sit in the hall for at least three hours, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, and Grandpa Tai has to stay in this hall for at least three hundred days. I was surprised in my heart, so I asked: "What about grandpa and uncle!" You can't stop so early, do you?! ”

When the big grandmother saw that the second girl was coming, she replied to her with a smile: "No! Your uncle is waiting for your grandfather to take a bath! Since you learned to take such a big pot to take a bath with your family, your uncle is not worried about your grandfather, for fear that he will accidentally fall, and he will have to follow and serve every time. ”

Erya sincerely admired: "Uncle is really a veritable filial son, we as juniors really have to keep up with the uncle!" ”

The big laughed: "Haha! You're right. Your grandfather was so kind and filial to his father. It is estimated that there is no one in this radius of more than ten miles who can compare to him. ”

Shi Jingxuan stood and waited to greet the lady of the owner when the second girl was talking to the eldest grandmother. Uncle Tang didn't stand up, although he was still sitting. He also raised his head and looked at his niece and daughter-in-law with a smile, waiting for his niece to greet him.

The politeness here is that juniors should greet their elders first, and subordinates should greet their superiors. Erya said a few words to the eldest grandmother, and then turned her head to greet Uncle Tang: "Uncle is settling accounts with Xiao Shi?" ”

Uncle Tang shook his head and replied to her with a smile: "The account has been settled a long time ago, but now it's just a matter of checking with Steward Xiaoshi to see if there are any mistakes or omissions." ”

Shi Jingxuan was finally able to greet the lady of the owner, and bowed to the lady of the owner at the moment. said: "Good lady of the proprietor! ”

Erya smiled and said to him: "You! Didn't you say don't be too polite! Sit down! How are you today? Can you handle it? ”

Shi Jingxuan smiled a little shyly, nodded and said, "It's okay!" I mainly counted with their squad leader, and later settled money with Qin Junye. I've learned all these arithmetic. It's not difficult at all. ”

Uncle Tang interjected next to him and praised Shi Jingxuan: "Niece and daughter-in-law, don't look at the age of your housekeeper, but he is very good at settling accounts!" Two taels of silver and three stones of grain. I can't figure it out. But what division and multiplication he used, he could figure it out in a few strokes. Even the military master surnamed Qin looked straight at him, not believing that he would be right. Later, the accounting room they brought took the abacus and calculated it for a long time, and it was really the right number calculated by the housekeeper Xiao Shi. ”

Speaking of this arithmetic, the law of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division was handed over to everyone by Erya, and the two schools have also continued the arithmetic that Erya brought from her world. The arithmetic here is not too backward, but it is very cumbersome. If you are not a professional, the average person can get around yourself by calculating. Erya teaches you arithmetic. It is the essence of thousands of years of simplification and verification by the elites of various countries. These are the people who meet someone from another world and are willing to spread this essence to them. What a blessing they were.

Er Ya looked at Shi Jingxuan, and didn't notice that he showed a proud and complacent expression, and was a little relieved.

"This kind of arithmetic is also taught in our own school. If you want to learn, you can let your children teach you. ”

"Hey! I'll let them teach me when I go back, and that algorithm is really easy to use! ”

While they were talking, the uncle finally waited for the good grandfather to come out. As soon as the uncle arrived, several people began to calculate the income and distribution of grain.

Grandpa also got dressed and came out of the bathroom to sit in his special seat. Uncle Tang began to talk about the income from the sale of rice this time: "This rice, according to what Xiaohu's daughter-in-law said before, I took away 1,500 stone for them, and the rest was left for the long-term workers to make rations."

The grain of 1,500 stones, Qin Junye gave us at the price of two taels of silver and three stones of rice, which is much more than the merchants who collected grain for one tael of silver and two stones of rice. However, it sounds like it is said that buying my family's grain at this price is also cost-effective for General Qin. Laizi said that the general grain merchants did not give rice to General Qin, they gave rice directly, and the lowest price was one tael of silver and one stone of rice. It's about 12 pounds like that. We're not even a high price! I thought that if we had a mill at home, we might as well turn the rice into rice, and we would get at least two pennies more per catty. There are so many of us, how much more money do we have to make! ”

Grandpa Tai was impatient and reprimanded, "Why are you rambling so much? Then tell me the next time you sell grain, and now tell me how much silver you have. ”

Seeing that his grandfather was impatient, Uncle Tang didn't want to sigh anymore, so he took out a silver ticket from his arms and pushed it to his grandfather, saying, "Grandpa! Here you go. The rice was 1,500 stones, and 2 taels of silver and 3 stones, making a total of 1,000 taels of silver. You're old points! ”

Grandpa was stunned, "I can't give it to your father!" I know I can't see clearly, but you give it back to me! ”

Uncle Tang hurriedly handed the silver ticket to the grandfather, and the grandfather took the silver ticket and counted it, there were one hundred taels and fifty two, exactly one thousand taels.

The eldest grandfather nodded after counting, and said to his father: "Dad, it's exactly one thousand taels." Give half to Liu Yatou, what are you going to do with the other half? Will it be divided into households or will it remain in the clan? ”

Grandpa thought for a while and replied: "You first settle the accounts of the chickens, ducks and geese reported by each family." How much money is needed, deduct this first. As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Erya: "Great-grandson daughter-in-law!" You talk about it. What to do with the money for this grain? ”

The affairs of the clan, Er Ya couldn't push it, so he said his thoughts bluntly: "Grandpa, if this money is not distributed to the clansmen at all, they will definitely not have the slightest enthusiasm for this field in the future." But if everything is divided, if there is anything in the clan, it will definitely be even more difficult to ask the big guy to raise money. I think we should give half of it to each family according to the capitation. The other half is set aside for the family's activity fund. ”

Before the grandfather could speak, the grandfather said: "If it is divided by head, there may be a lot of controversy." Is there any other way? ”

Erya shook her head. He replied: "Our clan was originally saved for a better life of the clan, of course, it has to be people-oriented. If you are not convinced, let him think of having a child! ”

Grandpa laughed and said, "Yes! The more people there are, the stronger our Wang family will be. Let them be unconvinced, and they will desperately have children! Hahaha"

The grandfather listened to Erya's explanation. I also understand what Erya means, of course, there is nothing to say.

If the family has a large population, life will be relatively difficult, and of course the clan will have to subsidize some. The key is that now their Wang family is having a good life, and it is estimated that no one needs outside subsidies to live their lives. However, as the niece and daughter-in-law said, if they are not allowed to benefit. After that, it is estimated that they really don't care about the affairs of this field. Don't expect families like this to take the initiative to take things out, take the initiative to take the initiative to eat and entertain people.

The uncle first gave the second girl's five hundred taels to the second girl. And he counted the money that each family had taken out and set it aside. Then divide the rest of the money in half, and start calculating how much each family should share according to their population. Although the grandfather and the uncle can settle the accounts, they are very cumbersome, and they can easily solve it by multiplying and dividing, so they have to add and subtract them one by one. Erya was so tired that she thought about asking Shi Jingxuan to help: "Uncle! You let my housekeeper do the math for you, his speed is fast, if you calculate it like this, it may not be able to calculate it well by tomorrow! ”

Uncle Tang didn't wait for his father to speak, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes! Why did I forget Steward Shi! Father! This little history is very powerful, you let him do the calculation! It's faster than both of us combined. ”

The uncle really handed over this matter to Shi Jingxuan and his eldest son, and he himself watched with his hands crossed, occasionally moving his mouth, answering which family they didn't know.

When they were settling accounts, Erya saw that the uncle was fine, so he took out a silver ticket of fifty taels and gave it to the grandfather, and said, "This is my family's entertainment expenses this time, and I will share it with the sisters-in-law and aunts who work hard." This matter is handled by you, uncle, and I will not be involved! ”

The uncle had no objection, took the silver ticket, and said with a smile: "You kid is the atmosphere, those people estimate that one person can get two taels of silver, and this windfall will definitely make those women happy for several days." ”

The big grandmother said on the side: "I'm here to tell you who worked the first day and who worked the next day." It's not wrong to take you alone. ”

Erya smiled: "Even if you make a mistake, it doesn't matter to me." Anyway, if the money is given, it's up to you to settle it. ”

The big grandmother was very happy that her nephew and daughter-in-law believed in their old couple so much. Although it is true that they are not greedy for this money, it is still quite refreshing to be able to be fully trusted.

After Erya gave the money, seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, she said goodbye to her grandfather, uncle, and grandmother. Before leaving, Shi Jingxuan said: "You are here to help settle the accounts, and my grandmother will arrange accommodation for you at night." Before you leave tomorrow, go to my house, I have something to explain to you. ”

Shi Jingxuan hurriedly stopped his hand and listened respectfully to the words of the lady of the owner, nodding in response.

When Erya arrived home, Wen Yue had already slept, and Wen Chao was still writing his Journey to the West.

"Wen Chao! Why haven't you finished writing this? Erya asked a little strangely. It should have been written for so long.

Wen Chao replied to his mother in annoyance: "During the time you left, Yue Yue had to cry every night, and I had to fall asleep before I could write." But I couldn't write much, and I was so sleepy that I wanted to sleep. So, I wrote a little bit in one day. (To be continued......)
