This is the normal way, but it requires a very large amount of manpower.

Xiyue can only intercept a certain period of month and a certain subject for rough verification.

It's just that the problem comes again.

The account books and records of the household department are not so clear, the classification is not clear, there is no numbering and remarks, and the various ministries are written together in a mixed manner. Wang Jiaming brought back only one of the volumes, and to liquidate, he naturally needed a huge library.

He recalled it, and then said: "I wrote a note and asked Li Jun to go to the household department for me." ”

Li Yutao nodded.

Wang Jiaming wrote down the account book to be borrowed, stamped it at the bottom, and then handed it to Li Yutao.

Later, Lin Weng Shao was also sent out.

Not long after, Li Yutao returned.

To find the required entries from the account books, you can't miss it, Xiyue was almost dazzled, Wang Jiaming and Li Yutao sat aside, and checked it for her as required.

Not long after, Xiyue asked for the original records of warehouse management.

Wang Jiaming said apologetically: "I'm sorry for you to go to Si Tian to find out one thing for me." ”

Li Yutao: "......"

Li Yutao breathed two breaths and said, "Wait." ”

With that, he ran out again.

Lin Weng Shao just came back, put the account book on the table, panting and wanted to sit down and rest for a while, Wang Jiaming handed over another note.

Lin Wengshao: "......"

The work of this household is really not done by people.

Xiyue said, "Do you know now that your classification is unreasonable?"

Wang Jiaming nodded: "It's really too troublesome." ”

In the past, I needed to find something to turn through the same volume, but I didn't feel like that, because the individual entries themselves are difficult to classify together. Tobe is a place that requires a lot of patience and care, and slowly you get used to it.

Xiyue's method seems to be a surge in official duties in the early stage, but after it is applied in the later stage, it will be more clear and convenient. Anything that has a pattern to follow, etc., is easier to get started. It is precisely because of this that the problems that were whitewashed in the original account books have all been exposed.

Li Yutao and Lin Weng Shao, at first they still had time to learn from the sidelines, and then they were completely reduced to running errands.

In the evening, Sheng Jin came to her with a food box. Xiyue also stayed here tonight, and he also stayed here to accompany her, seeing her working so hard, he also wanted to help her a lot.

He had also been here before, and he had also learned a little from Xiyue, and he knew how much work this was, and he was very distressed for her, but when he thought that she was working so hard for another man, even if he knew that the two of them had no relationship, he was still unhappy.

After the curfew after dark, the two errand runners were finally able to stay in the house. Xiyue assigned an account book to each of them, and asked them to find relevant entries, list them one after another, and write them aside.

Then hand over the sorted out and fragmented subjects to them, and let them plan to calculate them.

Looking at those numbers all night, tired and nervous, my eyes were glazed and my mind was uncontrollable. It's a boring, tedious, and daunting task. For beginners like Li Yutao and Lin Wengshao, it is really difficult. Wang Jiaming couldn't stand it. And Shantai Shengjin still has a calm face, as long as he is with Xiyue, he can do anything.

It's just that this made Li Yutao and Lin Weng Shao bitter, and the two suddenly found that it was better to run errands.

The sound of the abacus in the room was rhythmic and loud, and the eyelids sank one by one. And Shentai Shengjin also followed Xiyue to do the accounts,

A few people were tired, so they took a nap on the table for a while, and then continued after waking up.

The sky is getting brighter.

Lin Weng Shao rubbed his face, felt a little prostration, and said, "This ...... There's no end, sir. ”

Xiyue picked up the paper in front of her and straightened it up, and said, "That's it." Come, call these people over and I'll ask. ”

The names of several household officials were written on the paper, and Wang Jiaming was going to go to the household department after all, so he went over to call people by himself.

Xiyue and the two students took this opportunity to wash up and eat.

Lin Weng Shao finished washing his face, opened his eyes vigorously, and sighed: "Sir, sure enough, I will never go to the household." ”

Xiyue smiled: "I have always felt that it is very good for talented people to be in the household department. Because he can have the handle of all the people in the court. ”

Lin Weng Shao pointed at Li Yutao and said, "Isn't the Yushitai also good? I'll go to the Yushitai." ”

"It's not easy for the Imperial Observatory, if you have something, you have to find other officials to help. Li Yutao sat down at the table and said, "What's more, if the account books of the household department are changed, the people of the Yushitai will definitely have to learn it." Otherwise, how inconvenient will it be to investigate the case in the future?"

Lin Weng Shao said sadly: "Ah?!"

At this time, Shantai Shengjin came to Xiyue's side, slapped her shoulder, and said distressedly. "Xi'er, it's too hard for you to do this, let's rest for a while, and I'll help you do the rest. ”

Xiyue shook his head, he had already done a lot for himself just now, and this was all he could do, and his learning talent was really high, much faster than his two students to do the accounts, but there were too many account books, and they were too miscellaneous, so it took a long time.

And Li Yutao and Lin Weng Shao have long had no face to see, why did their master become like this? Although they also learned from some gossip that their master was a woman, why was this second prince robbed of the opportunity, but they also knew that they were inferior to the second prince, and they were more worshipful than love for Xiyue. If they really marry Xiyue, their future lives will ...... It's scary to think about.

The three of them rested for a while, took two steps outside, and Wang Jiaming came back with someone.

Several officials were suddenly invited to Shangguan's home, and they were still a little uneasy. Seeing Li Yutao, Xiyue and others, he was even more confused.

Several people said hello and squeezed into Wang Jiaming's study. Fortunately, Wang Jiaming's house is small and simple, but the study is big enough.

Wang Jiaming asked the servant to go to another room and moved a chair and placed it on one side. He then explained: "Mr. Li has proposed a new method of bookkeeping, and I am discussing it with her to see if it is feasible. It's just that some of the accounts in it are not well remembered, so please ask a few people to come and ask them clearly. Have a seat. ”

Several people nodded.

Xiyue sat behind the table, looked at them and smiled, touched her chin and said, "If this method is implemented, it will definitely be effective." I am afraid that those who are corrupt and pervert the law will have nothing to hide. The future culpability cannot be done, and the previous things cannot be escaped. ”

A few people smiled politely, when she was talking nonsense, but they didn't directly debunk her.

The official asked, "How long has Mr. Li been looking at the account books?"

Xiyue: "One night. "It's not just a big talk?

Several people couldn't help but have disdain in their tones: "Mr. Li, please ask." ”

Their accounts have all been processed, and it is difficult to see the clues when they are checked ordinarily. The account audit of the household department also stops there. But after watching it all night, do you still need to be afraid of her?

Xiyue bowed her head at them, looking at their relaxed appearance, and felt that she was not welcome.

Xiyue nodded: "Tian master's book." ”

An official raised his hand.

Xiyue turned to him and asked, "Three years ago in June." There are 60 meters of stone registered here and people have been taken away, what did they do?"

The officials shook hands and did not take her to heart. Rhetorical question: "What is written on it?"

Xiyue: "Winemaking." ”

Official: "That's winemaking." ”

Xi Yue knocked on the table with one hand and sneered: "Sixty stones of rice, just make more than a thousand catties of wine? What kind of wine does it have to be?"

The official touched his eyebrows and said, "It's probably a white bar." ”

"Baijiu isn't right, right? Xiyue laughed twice, "Don't bluff me." I also saw people who made wine in Qiantang. Sixty stone rice, how can there be more than 2,000 catties of high-quality liquor. And what you have included here is rice wine. Didn't you feel wrong at the time?"

"This ......," the official choked up, and said, "It's been too long, and I can't remember it clearly." ”

Xiyue pointed to it and said, "And here, the person in charge of the warehouse has registered here, and you have received fifty stones of rice for food to be distributed to the victims." And it is recorded in the account book of the household department, and you have bought 50 stone of rice with your money for disaster relief. So where did the rice in this granary go, and why did it disappear in vain?"

"I'm ......" The official finally began to feel uneasy, his eyes wandering left and right at several colleagues. Raising his hand and grabbing his sleeve, he coughed and said, "It's been too long, I can't remember it anymore." Maybe the person remembered it wrong? The granary inventory is always correct, right?"

If every place is checked like this, I'm afraid that it will be found out that the sky is wasted?

Half of the single-entry accounting method only registers the entries related to cash, and these internal receipts, internal consumption of transfer vouchers are a mess.

Xiyue chuckled: "I can't remember clearly, it doesn't matter if I can't remember, after all, it's been too long, this is the account book from three years ago." ”

The official nodded: "Not bad." Exactly. ”

Xiyue took out another piece of paper from underneath and said with a smile: "It's okay, there will always be something you remember." ”

The official's face changed. It's not over yet?

Xiyue: "When you bought this fifty stone rice, it should be 14 yuan per bucket on the rice price record of the household department at that time, but you here, it is recorded that it is 15 yuan per bucket." Why are you so much more expensive than others?"

Official: "Xu Yes...... The record is wrong. Since the imperial court has delegated relief, it shows that the harvest of farmers is not good. The rise in the price of rice is naturally understandable. ”

Xiyue: "Can't remember?"

The official nodded: "Well, I can't remember exactly." ”

"Soybean oil!" Xiyue tapped her fingers on the table and smiled twice at the official. He took a picture of the account book, leaned on the table and asked, "This bean has not been squeezed yet, and the difference between the warehouse and the account is more than 30%." ”

Official: "I remember. It wasn't stored at the time, so the boiled beans were moldy. ”

"I compare the inventory and import and export of beans and soybean oil with the account books of the household department, and the difference is not one or two points, and it is by no means moldy and rotten that can be prevaricated. ”
