Under the guidance of Liu Fan, Ling Han wrote the words "to and four years", "to and five years, and remarks" in the three grids of the first line, and in the fifteen boxes of the second line, he wrote "items, quantities, prices, old management, new income, expulsion, and real (3)" (meaning the balance of the previous period, income of the current period, expenditure of the current period, and the balance of the outstanding period) in turn......

After the writing, Liu Fan said: "After each scrivener will divide the subdivision items for a while, the name, quantity, and price of the subdivision items will be truthfully filled in the following table, because each scrivener is responsible for three to five items, and the subdivision items that each scrivener is responsible for are "old management, new income, dismissal, and real" added up to form a subtotal item under it, and it will be checked as a whole. ”

As soon as Liu Fan finished speaking, he saw that Ling Han had nodded slightly, knowing that this girl had understood the purpose of this form, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss Ling Han is really smart. ”

"Brother Liu, don't say that, I have been learning these ways of counting from famous teachers since I was a child, and after more than ten years, it is not as good as what Brother Liu has learned in a few years of private school, which is really disappointing."

"Don't be presumptuous, I'm also a coincidence, I accidentally happened to know some in terms of counting, the first sage has a saying, there must be my teacher in the threesome, but everyone's expertise is different, like Confucian scriptures and so on, I am not as good as a child."

Ling Han whispered: "Brother Liu is really different from the young people of today, at the age of Big Brother, most people can't wait to say that they are rich and talented!" ”

Liu Fan thought for a while and said seriously: "Well, although my knowledge can't reach the capacity of the car, at least a few baskets are still there." ”

Ling Han was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, he couldn't hold back his laughter, and in the hall where there was only the sound of an abacus pulling, this chuckle immediately attracted the attention of all the book offices.

Seeing that he had immediately become the object of everyone's attention, Ling Han lowered his head and whispered to Liu Fan: "Brother Liu, why are you joking in the hall at this time, and I have become the one who has been lost." ”

Liu Fan also felt that he shouldn't make this little girl laugh in the hall, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, okay, time is precious at this time, let's hurry up and read the account book!" ”

Seeing Liu Fan burying his head in the account books again, Ling Han couldn't help but be curious, and couldn't bear it for a long time before he asked in a low voice, "Brother Liu, what are you looking at, is it the 'one strange' method you just said?" ”

"Yes, this method is very simple, in fact, you only need to take the ledger in your hand and count the numbers that appear in the ledger."

Liu Fan once participated in a short-term training when he worked in a bank in another world, and a professor from a famous university mentioned a law that specializes in the study of the law of the appearance of numbers when he told everyone about the accounting inspection, and Liu Fan was very interesting and listened carefully.

I have long forgotten what the name of the law is, but the content is still clearly remembered: "A set of randomly occurring numbers, the number of times the first number of each number appears has a certain rule, the smaller the number of occurrences, the higher the rate, the probability of 1 appearing is about 30%, the probability of 2 appearing is less than 20%, and so on, the probability of 9 appearing is less than 5%. ”

Liu Fan continued: "There is a very interesting rule, it is like this, from a bunch of data naturally formed in real life, the number of occurrences of the number with one as the first number is about 30% of the total number of all data, and the number of occurrences of 2 is about 20% of the total number of all data. ”

Liu Fan said as he hugged a stack of ledgers in front of Ling Han and said, "Ling Han can count the number of times the first number appears with me, not only to verify this rule, but also to see if the culprit can be found." ”

After listening to Liu Fan's words, the little girl suddenly looked surprised, and immediately said with great interest: "There is such a thing, I will go and get a piece of paper." ”

Sure enough, the rule of only counting one account book is not obvious, but when Ling Han counts two or three account books handled by the same person, this law is more obvious.

After Liu Fan saw that Ling Han had counted the account books handled by one person, he said unsatisfactorily: "Huh? Why did this man only take out three of the account books he handled, and I will go and get them again. ”

Liu Fan immediately stopped: "Let's not be busy verifying the law accurately, the focus of our reading of the account books today is to check the accounts, not to do research, if you want to do research, there is time, as long as the account books handled by the same person are obviously counted after this kind of law appears, the suspicion is basically ruled out, and you can let go while counting the account books handled by others." ”

After listening to Liu Fan's words, Ling Han immediately came to his senses and smiled apologetically at Liu Fan: "Brother Liu, I'm enchanted again." Then he lowered his head and flipped through it carefully.

Liu Fan was also inspired by the serious and persistent spirit of this little girl, and the speed at which the two of them flipped through the account books was obviously faster, and before they knew it, the two had been flipping through for nearly an hour.

Liu Fan saw that the time had reached the beginning of Yin, got up and moved his waist slightly, walked over and whispered to Wu Senjun, knowing that the thatched house was in the southeast corner of the courtyard, he thanked Wu Senjun, thinking that if he continued to investigate like this, it was estimated that the results would be available before dawn.

Just out of the main house door, suddenly heard a soft sound in the southwest corner, it seems that something fell to the ground, the heart is puzzled that there are people in the courtyard at this time, two steps over, the right hand has held the handle of the knife, only to see two people standing at the dark feet, not far from the ground lying on a metal object that seems to be a key or something, it should be suddenly heard the door of the main house after a startled drop of things.

At this time, the two of them looked at Liu Fan motionlessly, thinking that they were also at a loss for a moment by this sudden situation, Liu Fan had already seen that one of them was Xu Li, the prefect of Liangzhou, and the other person was dressed in a book's suit, and his body was thin, Liu Fan glanced at it casually, and saw that this person looked ordinary, belonged to the kind of appearance that would never attract the attention of others when placed in the crowd, but it was just a vigilance developed by fighting on the battlefield for a long time, although this person deliberately concealed it, but Liu Fan still felt that there was a strong murderous aura on this person. After a slight hesitation, he immediately hugged his fists and said, "Lord Xu hasn't rested yet?" ”

"Oh, when I came out to go to the toilet, I just happened to run into him, so I chatted a few words." Xu Li said with a gloomy face.

Liu Fan immediately said: "I'm also a little anxious, so I won't bother Master Xu." After saying that, he immediately took his leave.

After Liu Fan came out of the thatched house, there were no two figures in the corner.

As soon as he returned to the main hall, Liu Fan quietly inquired to Ling Han about Wu's participation in the army, and knew that Wu Shenjun was originally the secretary of Liangzhou Mansion, and after the establishment of the northwest camp, he was transferred to the baggage battalion to join the army. ”

After sorting out his emotions a little, he sat down and then looked through the account books with Ling Han, when Wu Senjun came over to inform the secretaries that they had finished subdividing all the account books for July this year and had begun to subdivide the account books for July last year, Liu Fan and Ling Han had also turned over more than half of the account books piled on the table.

Liu Fan thought to himself, "It is estimated that if you persist for another one or two hours, the book offices will be able to subdivide the account books of July last year, and the results will basically come out." ”

Wu joined the army and went back to continue to subdivide the account books with a group of books, Liu Fan also picked up the account books next to him and continued to flip through them, an account book has not been finished, Ling Han, who has been working hard beside him, whispered in surprise: "Brother Liu, Brother Liu, these account books handled by the same person do not conform to this law. ”

"Oh, well, great, it seems that our efforts have not been in vain, you write down the man's name."

"Oh." Ling Han replied casually, and then buried himself in the account book.

Although the autumn wind outside whistled as it blew across the roof, everyone in the house was methodically turning their abacus, flipping through the books, and writing so carefully that no one noticed at the very first moment of danger.

When many people felt the stuffiness of the house, they realized that the fire had burned from one end of the main room to the middle hall, and the billowing smoke and the raging fire rushed towards the people who screamed, and almost instantly the smoke of the fire had surrounded everyone in the hall.

Liu Fan picked up the already cold half pot of bitter tea and poured it on Ling Han's head at the moment of reacting, regardless of the little girl's exclamation, he immediately grabbed one of the other party's hands and rushed to the door, but the rapid kicking sound from the door indicated that the door of the main room had been locked from the outside.

The main building, which was built as a former household office and archives, is extremely sturdy, with four walls made of blue bricks and a thick wooden entrance to protect against thieves, and even if there is no fire, climbing out of the tall and small windows is a difficult exercise.

But the rows of planked ledger shelves and the wooden roof on either side of the main hall were the best materials for combustion, and if the only door to the outside was not opened, it would have become a tomb for the burial of the people.

At this time, the hall was already in chaos, in the whistling of the wind, the crackling of the fire, the sound of the wooden shelves being burned and falling to the ground, and more clearly the constant wails, cries for help, and insults from the people, all kinds of sounds mixed together, making people feel like they were in hell on earth.

At this time, Liu Fan was no longer allowed to stop and think, so he pulled away a few people gathered in front of the door in three or two, and kicked on the door, but the heavy wooden gate only made a wail and still didn't move.

As soon as Liu Fan saw that this was not going to happen, he immediately pulled out the Xuantie Treasure Knife and slashed down at the designed door crack with almost no gaps, and he didn't know how many knives it took to split a gap between the door and the Rong Bao knife, and at this time, he did not hesitate, immediately stretched out the knife, and cut the door lock in three or two clicks.

The door was not all open, and the crowd rushed out like a flood, and Liu Fan was almost carried out.

I finally stood firm on the steps, and suddenly felt that my hand was empty, and I don't know when I let go of the hand that had always been in the palm of my hand, and suddenly I felt extremely flustered, and I turned around and rushed in again, regardless of the crumbling roof that had been burned.

Liu Fan remembered in a trance that the maid Ru'er was in the innermost room north of the hall, and the fire was burning from the south, but at this time the fire in the north was bigger than in the south, and the wooden shelves in the south and the account books on them were basically burned out, and the shelves and account books in the north were burning at this time, but now they were not allowed to stay at all, because the house could collapse at any time, and the sword mountain and the sea of fire would also break through.
