Chapter 276: Thaumaturgy of Infinite Wealth

Li Zheng said with a smile: "It's not me saying you, the account books are made by others, and the money is calculated by others, and it is not easy to smooth out the money." ”

Li Tai said again: "How do you see this? ”

"I see a lot more, you mortals."

Li Zheng raised his eyes and looked at Li Tai, "His Royal Highness King Wei, if I come to do the accounting, I can be more greedy than Master Cui Renshi." ”

After speaking, Li Zheng took out a pen and paper and calculated for a while: "In the second year of Zhenguan alone, Cui Renshi was greedy for three thousand times. ”

"I'll just say there's something wrong with him." Li Tai pointed to the account book and said: "I am right, Wei Zheng is not wrong, why is the salary of 30,000 troops for a year only enough for six months." ”

Li Zheng then calculated: "In the three years of Zhenguan, Cui Renshi was greedy for two thousand inks. ”

"Is Master Cui really corrupt?" A familiar voice came.

Li Tai raised his eyes and immediately stood up, "Father." ”

Li Zheng was also a little stunned, thinking about why Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling came.

"I've been listening outside for a while, Li Zheng said that Cui Renshi was greedy for three thousand times, do you have any evidence?"

"Did I just say that?" Li Zheng looked at Li Tai in confusion.

Li Tai nodded seriously, "You said it." ”

"Your Majesty, I like to talk nonsense from time to time, and Your Majesty just didn't say it."

Li Shimin stared at Li Zheng and said, "Do you know the fate of bullying the king." ”

Li Zheng pulled Li Tai to his side and asked, "Dead fatty, did you set me up?" ”

Li Tai also looked flustered, "I didn't know that my father would come." ”

"Xuan Ling, you see these two little ghosts are still whispering in front of me."

Fang Xuanling also said: "Li Zheng, there are many officials involved in this, in fact, the old man and His Majesty both know that there must be a problem with the accounts, but they can't find evidence." ”

Li Zheng muttered: "You all know that there is a problem, what are you looking for me to do." ”

Li Shimin unceremoniously occupied Li Tai's position, looked at the accounts and said, "How did you calculate it." ”

Putting down the brush in his hand, Li Zheng said patiently: "The money on the account is right, the process from taxation to appropriation is also correct, and the reconciliation is not wrong." ”

Fang Xuanling also said: "We are right to post, the account books of the household department and the account books of the military department. ”

"False accounts are unlikely, the number is correct, Zhenguan's income and tax revenue for three years are 200,000 yuan, military salary expenditure is 50,000 yuan, disaster relief expenditure is 100,000 yuan, and the remaining 50,000 yuan."

Li Zheng continued: "Just looking at it like this, of course, you can't see the clues, because this is a running account. ”

"Is there anything wrong with the journal?"

"The mistake is that it's a running account."

Li Zheng took out a piece of paper and said, "I'll conjure a magic trick for Your Majesty." ”

Fold and tear the paper into pieces, and then splice them together to create an extra piece.

After Li Zheng cut out an extra piece, he said: "This small piece is the evidence of Cui Renshi's greed for ink."

Looking at this reassembled piece of paper, it is still a complete square.

Li Tai rubbed his eyes vigorously, "How can this be an extra piece out of thin air." ”

"Your Majesty is optimistic." Li Zheng re-spliced these pieces of paper again, and re-spliced them into a square in front of Li Shimin, and there was an extra corner.

Li Zheng cut off a corner and said: "This piece is also evidence of Cui Renshi's greed for ink." ”

Li Shimin was also a little dumbfounded, "How did you make this piece of paper have an extra piece out of thin air." ”

Fang Xuanling was stunned by the paper in front of Li, this paper was originally square, and after cutting, the splicing was still a square, but there was a small extra piece, and the square was still complete.

"It's still this piece of paper, Your Majesty is optimistic."

Li Zheng spliced the paper again, re-splicing it up and down, left and right, and then cut off the extra piece.

"This third piece is also evidence of Cui Renshi's greed for ink."

The paper is still the original paper, but a piece can be cut out of thin air.

"The piece of paper itself hasn't changed, how did you get an extra piece out of thin air."

Li Zheng grinned and said, "Some people call this the thaumaturgy of infinite wealth. ”

Li Shimin stared at the piece of paper and said, "If you sell me again, you will play tricks, and I will not spare you!" ”

"Actually, this is a trick, you are confused by the shape of this paper." Li Zheng took out another piece of paper and compared it. "Does Your Majesty see the change now?"

"Less! The shape hasn't changed, but the size has changed! Li Tai almost screamed when he came to a conclusion.

Fang Xuanling also said: "But the total amount has indeed changed. ”

Li Zheng returned the piece of paper to its original state and said: "Because Cui Renshi did not write the extra military salary into the accounts at all, because we calculated along with it, as long as we calculated backwards, and calculated the terms of the accounts from the results he wanted, so no matter how we looked at the accounts, we could not see it, and we were confused by the first number of the accounts from the beginning." ”

"From the first number of the account, it is easy to start counting from this number, because the first number at the beginning is wrong, it is a wrong account, and it is misled by others and still counting money."

Fang Xuanling: "......"

Li Shimin's forehead was bruised, and he secretly thought in his heart that this kid seemed to despise me.

"To use a simple analogy, there is a fortune teller who says you can't catch fish, but you really can't catch it because people know in advance that there are no fish in the river."

Li Shimin looked at Li Tai on the side, "Do you understand?" ”

Li Tai covered his forehead and said, "Father, I'm a little dizzy. ”

Fang Xuanling also said: "How did you see it from the beginning. ”

"I have a bookkeeping method called credit bookkeeping."

Li Zheng remade an account based on an account in this account book, and said: "The so-called borrowing must be repaid, there are borrowers and credits, there must be two directions, lending out 100,000 yuan, then the disaster relief party must also have 100,000 yuan, but the 100,000 yuan debit side did not write, but the three accounts were kneaded together and written, the money was not less because there was money flowing into the household department before the settlement, and His Majesty must know where the money came from." ”

After finishing the account, Li Zheng handed over his writing to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty now knows what went wrong?" ”

Li Shimin looked at the digital account above, "The credit side is 100,000 yuan, and the debit side is 110,000 yuan, which is not right." ”

"That's right, no."

Li Shimin slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Li Junxian! ”

Li Junxian hurriedly stood up and knelt on one knee.

Li Shimin said coldly: "Immediately take Cui Renshi into Dali Temple, and the household department will do the accounts again!" ”

Li Tai whispered: "Father, I also want to confiscate Cui Renshi's family property." ”

"Raid Cui Renshi's property!" Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said.

Li Junxian hurriedly went to do something.

Li Shimin said with a dark face: "Li Zheng, this loan bookkeeping method, I will remember your work." ”

"Your Majesty is polite, and remember to knock on the door next time."
