Ning Wang Xiao Chong and Wang Jiaer inspected the daily affairs of epidemic prevention, and Liu Fusu had to do things everywhere by himself, so as not to have nothing to do. In the side hall of the yamen, there was a middle-aged man commanding dozens of account gentlemen to crackle and plan to make plates, there was no noise in the side hall, dozens of abacus played together The sound was pleasant and crisp, and Liu Fusu walked in unconsciously.

The middle-aged man led by him, polite and polite, has an excellent temperament, he has a brush between the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, the little finger is slightly cocked, and the five fingers are used together, the fingers are jumping and flying on the abacus, and his eyes are firmly fixed on the account book, and the number is written down. It turned out that the middle-aged man was the tax official of the imperial court, and Qian San was also accounting and reconciling the losses caused by the flood and plague in Huyang City, as well as how the remaining grain and grass would be distributed.

"What does Miss Liu have to say?" Qian San also saw that Liu Fusu was looking at his mind, so he got up and walked over and asked. Liu Fusu was embarrassed, and his face turned red all of a sudden, "Lord Qian is bothering you." I happened to be passing by here, and I heard the crisp and pleasant sound of the plan plate and came in to take a look. ”

Qian San also asked curiously, "Doesn't Miss Liu also know how to abacus?" ”

"I only know a little bit about it, I have studied in Xiangfu School for a while, I wonder if Lord Qian can let Fusu watch and learn from the sidelines?" Liu Fusu clenched his handkerchief in his hand and looked at Qian Sanyi, afraid of being rejected by him.

Qian San also thought about it a few times, but agreed to Liu Fusu watching next to him, but he had to help look through the account book. Liu Fusu reverently opened a thick account book, and Qian San also waved his abacus for a moment to calculate the general ledger and write it down.

Liu Fusu's eyes lit up when she saw it, it turned out that what she had learned in the academy was just scratching the surface.

"Miss Liu, if you're tired, go rest!" Qian Sanyi watched Liu Fusu meticulously flip through the account book for him, it was indeed 7 afraid that she would be tired. What's more, on the way here, she already knew that her identity was extraordinary, and anyone with a discerning eye knew His Royal Highness King Ning's affection for her at a glance.

Liu Fusu shook his head with a smile, "Lord Qian, Fusu doesn't feel tired at all, and your ability to plan to plate has opened my eyes, I really admire it!" ”

At noon, the general ledger was clear, Qian San also shook the abacus, the abacus beads slipped neatly, the sound was crisp, and he solemnly put the abacus away. Telling the others to go to lunch first, he got up and bowed and said, "Miss Liu, you have already done a good job here, and you have worked hard Miss Liu." ”

Liu Fusu hurriedly got up and said, "No, no! Mr. Qian has worked hard! Qian San was also busy prevaricating, so he said, "Miss Liu, why don't you go to dinner!" Then they went out to lunch.

Liu Fusu didn't think about tea and rice, and after scribbling the meal, he wandered alone in the side hall, hesitating. "The little red sandalwood abacus that my father gave me, why don't I take it out and play with it to see what the gap between myself and Lord Qian is?"

Liu Fusu muttered to herself, then made up her mind to walk in, took out her little abacus, and counted it one by one. Her fingers are white, her orchid fingers are cocked, and she gently dials the abacus, and the beads are like falling jade plates, crisp and pleasant.

"Hey, it seems that there is a big gap between me and Master Qian, if only I could worship him as a teacher!" Liu Fusu stroked her little abacus and muttered.

"Why is Miss Fusu sighing? With your sigh, it's time for the leaves on the trees outside the door to fall. Qian Sanyi laughed and walked out from behind the screen, in fact, he hid and watched from the side as soon as Liu Fusu entered the door.

Hearing someone speak, Liu Fusu was startled, and was relieved to see that it was Qian Sanyi.

"Lord Qian! Fusu just wanted to... I want to learn and plan to learn. Liu Fusu was embarrassed to say what was on his mind.

Qian San also laughed, and that smile is still like a spring breeze when Liu Fusu thinks of it. "Since Miss Fusu wants to learn, she can also give a little guidance with her knowledge."

Liu Fusu was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!" ”

Qian San can also see clearly from the side, Liu Fusu is talented, but she is a little inadequate, but she needs someone to guide her to achieve something.

"Fusu, do you know why you want to learn abacus?" Qian San also asked suddenly, Liu Fusu was at a loss, and couldn't say why.

"A small abacus can calculate things clearly, whether it is corruption or bending the law, or white and bitter, you can have a number in your heart. Because of this, life should be advanced, and retreat without hesitation. Three down five goes to two, two one adds five, understand? Qian San also dialed the abacus bead, raised his head and said to Liu Fusu.

Liu Fusu nodded, and suddenly said, "Master, I understand, no wonder my father wants me to learn how to plan the plate." ”

Qian San also walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and said as he walked, "Your father Liu Zongnan is a talent!" What a pity! It is also difficult to show ambitions with today's Prime Minister Wang Jingtian! ”

Liu Fusu nodded silently, her father's affairs had also been heard a little. She turned her head and asked, "Master, when will I start studying?" ”

Qian Sanyi smiled and said, "Let's start, let's teach you the bead algorithm first." The mantra must be memorized. Twenty-one is added to five, every two into ten, four into twenty, six into thirty, eight into forty......" Liu Fusu wrote them down one by one.

Liu Fusu learned the mantra, the night was late, the bright moon was shining in the sky, there was an osmanthus tree in the backyard of the yamen, the wind blew the fragrance of osmanthus, and his heart was calm and full.

The next day, early in the morning, when the rooster crows. Liu Fusu arrived in the side hall early to wait for Qian Sanyi, and Qian Sanyi gave her the task of learning to understand all the accounts here! Liu Fusu was dizzy and had a lot of things he didn't understand.

"Fusu, you see, this account book is divided into two parts, the upper and lower accounts, the upper and lower accounts. Remember, all non-cash transfer transactions must follow the rule of "there must be some coming, there must be going, and there must be equal comings and goings". Qian San also saw that Liu Fusu had been looking at one of the account books for a long time, so he explained to her.

"Got it, Master. There is a place in this ledger that is wrong, it does not come but it goes, it is unreasonable! Liu Fusu held an account book and handed it to Qian Sanyi to read. Qian San also paced back and forth to figure out the reason why the Huyang officials were like this, and suddenly smiled.

There was a flood in the Huyang area, the disaster is not a single line, and now there is a plague, the farmland has no harvest, the people have no rice, but the imperial court is waging a lot of wars in order to expand the country, and is still increasing taxes, how should the people live? Qian San also liquidated the tax revenue in Huyang in the past three years, and he decided to ask for half of the tax reduction for the people.

The houses and losses were washed away in the flood, and the construction has been largely done, because there is a prescription found by Liu Fusu from the "Treatise on Illness" and published in Huyang, and the epidemic is always under control. The crown prince Xiao Luan and the prince Yao Jinlong are the main battle faction, and they have always advocated war with Yelang State, and only by fighting can they make other countries submit and expand the territory of Nanyue Kingdom.

Tai Lieutenant Yao Jinlong learned from the eyeliner of his subordinates that Qian San also wanted to reduce taxes for the people of Huyang, and the traditional taxes in Huyang provided most of the grain and grass for the army, which undoubtedly reduced the army's grain and grass, which was also what they did not want to see.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this Qian San is really a dog with a mouse and is nosy. As soon as it is reported to the imperial court, those so-called benevolent and moral civil officials will praise it and ask for the Holy Lord's permission. After receiving the informant's report, Taiwei Yao Jinlong hurried to discuss with the crown prince Xiao Luan.

The crown prince Xiao Luan was wiping his sword, wiping it left and right, up and down, and he didn't turn his head back, and said coldly, "You must not let this twist and turn it to the court, to prevent future troubles!" ”

Taiwei Yao Jinlong nodded, and said to the prince, "Your Highness, this piece of music will be collected by the old man, and then this matter will be handed over to the old man." After he finished speaking, he walked out, and the prince Xiao Luan and Long Feifeng Wu practiced their swords.

In the past two days, Qian San always felt dizzy, weak and weak, and fell asleep in the middle of Liu Fusu's lesson. Liu Fusu thought that her master was tired, so she went to ask Xiao Chong, the king of Ning, to ask for peace, and by the way, she asked for a doctor for her master to treat him.

"Ah Chong, now the people drink a bowl of soup and medicine every day, does it play a preventive role? When will the plague subside? Liu Fusu and Xiao Chong, King of Ning, strolled through the courtyard and asked.

Xiao Chong, King of Ning, looked at Liu Fusu gently and said, "Since the people drank that prescription, the epidemic has been controlled, and the day of returning to Beijing is also approaching." ”

"It's good that the people don't suffer, by the way, Ah Chong, my master Qian Sanyi has been overworked recently, and I want to ask a doctor to show him." Liu Fusu said.

"Let the imperial physician He Wanqin give him a pulse!" Ning Wang Xiao Chong said.

"Oh no! Miss! Lord Qian fainted! The little girl Lan Qing rushed to report, and her face was red in a hurry.

"What? Hurry, go check it out! Liu Fusu was so anxious that he took the hand of King Ning Xiao Chong and ran to the side hall.

At this time, He Wanqin and Shen Hai, who received the order, also hurriedly carried a medicine box over, sweating profusely, and began to treat Qian Sanyi before they had time to catch their breath.

"His Royal Highness King Yuning, Lord Qian may have been infected with the plague! Bring your veil and get away from here! He Wanqin said solemnly.

When everyone heard this, their faces changed, and they immediately put on their veils and retreated outside the courtyard. Subsequently, Xiao Chong, the king of Ning, ordered that all the people that Qian Sanyi came into contact with be isolated.

Liu Fusu has been in intensive contact with Qian Sanyi in recent days, and she also needs to be isolated, but she is isolated in her own room and does not have to be quarantined in the epidemic area with others.

"Lord Qian has always been in the side hall and has never gone out, why did he suddenly become infected with the plague?" King Ning Xiao Chong sternly questioned his guards.

One of the guards knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Please punish Your Highness, and your subordinates will immediately be investigated!" ”

"Your Highness, Lord Qian is afraid that his life is in danger, and the current decoction does not seem to have improved his condition." The imperial physician He Wanqin faced the patient, and for the first time felt powerless and pale.

"Your Highness, the grass people think that Lord Qian is not infected with the plague, but suffering from a disease that is very similar to the plague, similar to a kind of poison." Shen Haihai stepped forward and said confidently to Xiao Chong, King of Ning.

Xiao Chong, King of Ning, nodded, and ordered, "This king orders you and He Wanqin to develop a prescription within three days!" He Wanqin and Shen Haihai bowed forward and said, "Obey!" ”
