Wen Yanbo and Zeng Gongliang sat in the house and chatted, Wen Yanbo said that Liu Liufu was going to Luoyang this morning, and suddenly thought that Zeng Gongliang should be very familiar with the situation there after two years in Luoyang.

"Ming Zhong, you said that there is something in Luoyang that attracts Liao people, don't do it with a good visit, you have to go there."

Zeng Gongliang said: "Luoyang is a place to play, Liao people believe in Buddhism, maybe they went to visit Shaolin Temple." ”

Wen Yanbo retorted after a little thought: "No, no matter how famous the Shaolin Temple is, it can be compared to the Xiangguo Temple, the peony flowers have already withered, and the Longmen Grottoes are even more impossible, they must have some ulterior secret." ”

Zeng Gongliang said: "There is another place, that is, Lujia Zhuangzi, I don't know the situation there, but the crops they grow are rare, and many farmers in Luoyang have rushed to follow the trend." ”

Wen Yanbo smiled contemptuously: "It's not that I look down on them Liao people, their ancestors have been stronger than us Han people for planting crops, and they don't have to go to Luoyang because they plant crops, the Lu family has also planted thousands of acres of crops outside Kaifeng City, and they don't need to go to Luoyang!" ”

"That problem can only be in the Zhuangzi, it is full of pro-guards, and I can't touch it, if you want to know the answer, you have to go to the emperor, and I probably won't tell you if anyone else knows."

Zeng Gongliang saw that Wen Yanbo was still thinking, so he quietly went out and came to the Du branch, walked a long way, the clothes on his body were wet, Lu Zifei said with a smile after seeing it: "There is no wind today, the adults are not enjoying themselves in the imperial city, what kind of wind blows the adults to the lower officials." ”

Zeng Gongliang said: "The title of this official has changed, the kid has become a subordinate official in an instant, how has he gained for more than a month." ”

Lu Zifei pointed outside and said, "Adults will know if you go and take a look." ”

Zeng Gongliang went out to take a look in the direction pointed by Lu Zifei, all the people in the case division were lying there studying, and when they got closer, they looked at it again, weren't they the foreign numbers that those stinky boys were guarding the yamen to help them settle accounts?

"Are you popularizing your Arabic numerals for everyone in the branch?"

Lu Zifei said: "Yes! I bet with them that my algorithm was ten times faster than theirs, and it was simpler, and they didn't believe it, and they lost, and then it was what the adults saw. ”

Zeng Gongliang said: "How can you kid be such a tricker." ”

"I am willing to gamble and lose, I have no regrets, my lord is the chief assistant, I won't not understand this truth!"

"I don't want to talk to you about these gossips today, it's also Zhang Fangping's business to worry about, and it has nothing to do with me."

Lu Zifei gave Zeng Gong a cup of green tea and said: "My lord has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, say it, listen to it." ”

Zeng Gongliang took out the book and put it on Lu Zifei's desk and said: "I always feel that something is wrong with this one, you can take a look at it when you have time and help me analyze it." ”

According to the time node, it is indeed the time of the world, the value of this military book is much higher than that of Li Jing, the god of war in the Tang Dynasty, and it describes in detail a series of perfect combat systems from army training to logistics, but what do you mean by showing me.

"You're not afraid that I'll sign myself to the book and publish it."

Zeng Gongliang didn't speak, just kept squinting at it with his eyes, and the kind of ridicule was more violent than words.

"I'm just asking you to sign it now, do you dare? Unless you don't want to mix in the literati circle of the Great Song Dynasty in the future. ”

Lu Zifei said disappointedly: "I don't dare to comment on your masterpiece, I am another Zhao Kuo, I can only talk on paper, if you want me to do it with a real sword, then you really think highly of me." ”

Zeng Gongliang said: "Don't pretend to be me, you kid, the emperor has shown me the training results of the Northwest Army, you help me find out the shortcomings, I will tell you a news related to you, fair!" ”

Lu Zifei said: "Then I won't listen, I've been busy for the past month, and I don't have that idle time, so you should take the book back!" I really can't change it. ”

Zeng Gongliang got up and said: "It's about the Liao people, don't regret it when you don't hear it." Zeng Gongliang counted silently in his heart as he walked, and when he counted down to three, he himself felt that Lu Zifei didn't want to know the news, two, one.

As soon as he finished counting silently, "You won" came from behind him.

Zeng Gongliang turned around and said: "I was almost deceived by your kid, and I am about to catch up with my old man, it seems that you are not messing around in the yamen." ”

Lu Zifei said: "No matter how well you do, it's not that you old foxes are deceived by the group, you just said the news of the Liao people, could it be that Liu Liufu, the third envoy of the Liao State who came to the capital some time ago, and his party?" ”

Zeng Gongliang said: "Yes, it's them, this morning they suddenly said that they were going to Luoyang to observe, the emperor did not object, agreed, I suspect that their target is your Zhuangzi, you have to be careful." ”

Lu Zifei said bitterly: "If you are dead, I would have known that I would not have agreed to you, so I will go to Zhuangzi with their little people, isn't that a meat bun beating a dog?" Knowing that this was the case, I wanted them to go there more. ”

Zeng Gongliang smiled and said: "That's stupid, just remember what you promised me, and give me a few catties of this tea brewed in your teapot, and I will enjoy it when I go back." ”

"No, not one or two, you are now holding the official big and bullying my official and small, coming to me is almost the same as a bandit, this kind of superb pre-rain tea is still a few catties, why don't you go to heaven?" Lu Zifei said angrily.

Zeng Gongliang said with a smile: "In the past, your father-in-law knew a little bit about this tea, although it was much worse than you, but since your father-in-law went to Quanzhou, now this capital can only come to you if he wants to drink good tea.

It's normal to be beaten by someone, either it's older than you, so big that you can't resist, or it's older than you, and you can't do anything about it, ninja! When you reach my position one day, then you can refuse everyone stubbornly. ”

Lu Zifei admires Zeng Gongliang's personality very much, and he has helped himself many times in Luoyang, including Zeng Gongliang's affairs in the Guo family, so when it comes down to it, make trouble, and take what you should be distressed no matter how distressed.

"That's it, save some to drink, there will be no more after drinking, and if you want to drink it again, you will have to wait until next year."

Zeng Gongliang held it in his hand, opened the lid and sniffed it, his face was intoxicated, and then he looked at the jar and said, "Why don't you talk about the golden silk nanmu, there is no shortage of that thing in your house." ”

Lu Zifei said angrily: "The taste of nanmu will confuse the taste of tea, this kind of mahogany box is the most suitable for making tea cans, are you drinking tea or coveting my golden silk nanmu." ”

Laughed with embarrassment, this is skill, Lu Zifei is far from him, Zeng Gongliang said: "It took you kid less than three years to change the way the nobles of the Great Song Dynasty drank tea, amazing." ”

"If it's okay, leave quickly, why don't you leave here when you get everything you want!"

"Did you speak to Jaesuke like that? You have performed very well during this time as an official, and now you can't be as showy as before, honestly working in the yamen is the best performance, remember the boy. ”

Lu Zifei knew that Zeng Gongliang was for his own good, but he could do whatever he wanted in life, and he didn't find anything out after more than a month of checking the accounts, this is what he was afraid of, knowing that the account book was not right, he couldn't find out where there was a problem, and it was difficult to find out what the problem was, and it would be difficult to be in the limelight!

He first made all the account books into the form of a statement for later generations, and then checked them one by one, and the whole had been checked twice, 'borrowing' and 'crediting' were equal, and the data was balanced, and the second time he did not believe in evil, and repeated the work of the first time, and the results obtained were still equal, and he already had some doubts that there was no problem with the account books.

The man's sixth sense told him that there must be something wrong with the account book, and he thought of a Chinese-style bookkeeping method called 'increase and decrease bookkeeping', which was the predecessor of 'loan bookkeeping', which was a stupid method.

There is another name for this method called the 'Four-Pillar Inventory', which has a formula like this: old management + new income - expenditure = real, and he wants to calculate it again at the end.

The sun set, and Lu Zifei came up with the answer again exactly the same as the first and second time, and when he returned home with Arabic numerals, he asked people to invite a few friends over.

It was dark, the light in Lu Zifei's study was brighter, the six people were divided into two groups, and began to check again, this time Lu Zifei did not add his own thoughts, but just let them count, in the early hours of the morning, Liu Chang and Jia Dian met with their own answers, which was the same as Lu Zifei's previous three times.

Zhang Dian said: "Brother Hanzhang, are you mistaken, plus the three times you counted and our two times have been five times, I think no matter how smart people are, it is impossible for the six of us to fall into trouble at the same time!" ”

Han Jiang said: "Hanzhang is not the work pressure of the yamen is too much, which makes you in a trance, and there are still people in the world who can be better than you in mathematics and arithmetic." ”

"Seeing that your eye sockets are deep, it's time to rest." Jia Yan also said.

Lu Zifei said: "You just came to my house for dinner tonight, don't tell others that you came to my house to settle accounts, you don't know, I always feel that there is something wrong with these account books, but the other party's methods are very clever, we didn't find out where the problem is." ”

Liu Chang asked: "This local account looks clear at a glance, do you know where it is?" ”

"Just know it in your heart, don't say it, I'm busy for half the night, I'll ask someone to get some food and comfort the Five Organs Temple."

A few side dishes, a few bottles of beer, full of food and drink, a few people lived in the Lu family, Lu Zifei was still thinking about the account book alone, once the smart person drilled the horns of the bull, unless he figured it out himself, don't think of it.

A person who crossed over was actually stumped by a few small account books, which is really a shame for future generations! It must be that you have neglected something and led yourself into a misunderstanding.
