Liu Fan nodded slightly to Ling Han, and said to the three of them: "Although the correct method I said is basically the same as the method and thinking that the two adults are currently applying, but there is only a slight change, if I guess correctly, the biggest 'expulsion' in a year should be June or July, right?" ”

I only heard Song Changshi immediately replied: "That's right, the biggest month of 'expulsion' this year and last year is in July, because under normal circumstances, the Khitan army is in August, and July is the busiest, and all materials must be prepared before the Khitan army invades the border." ”

"If there is a problem with the 'expulsion' project, then the catty in the accounts in July may be the largest, as long as the account books of last year and July this year are checked, as long as one or two of the problematic details are found, then you can directly pull out all the problems."

I saw that Song Changshi and Ling Hanjun's eyes lit up: "That's right, as long as one or two of these problems are found, maybe the truth of this matter will be revealed, and there is no need to check the account books of all two years." ”

Song Changshi regretted: "Why didn't we expect such a simple question, General Xiao Liu is really quick-witted, not bad, not bad, although it is the same method, but this kind of thinking of giving up the branches and leaves and hitting the trunk is really eye-catching." ”

Liu Fan glanced sideways at Governor Xu's mansion, only to see that this person looked pensive, and he couldn't see what he was thinking at all.

Song Changshi turned sideways to Xu Li and said, "Old Xu, how do you feel about this method, is it feasible?" ”

I only heard Xu Li immediately reply: "I think General Xiao Liu's simplification strategy is good, simple and easy, and can effectively grasp the core of the problem, I completely agree with General Xiao Liu's opinion." ”

Liu Fan glanced at both sides, and continued: "This is what I want to say about the 'one positive' method, as for the 'one strange' method, please allow the two adults to keep it secret for the time being, I don't know if this method is feasible or not, if it is feasible, it is just used as an auxiliary policy to the 'one positive' method, if it is not feasible, it will not affect everyone's account books." ”

"Also, I think you're still breaking down the projects that were in March or April, and I think it's time for everyone to stop and start breaking down the projects that were 'fired' last year and July this year."

"In addition, for everyone's division of labor, I have a small suggestion, I estimate that everyone is now subdividing the 'expulsion' project in their own hands, please Song Changshi and Xu Zhifu will redeploy the personnel, and each person will change hands to count the July account books in charge of others, not only to subdivide the 'expulsion' project, but also to subdivide the "new income" project, and finally Ling Han and I are responsible for summarizing. ”

"At the same time, I also ask Lord Changshi to get me a set of account books for June this year, and each person can take two or three account books."

"Okay, well, General Xiao Liu is not only quick in thinking, but also well-deployed, I think so, here I will hand over to General Xiao Liu and Han Yatou to be responsible for the overall responsibility, let Wu join the army to cooperate with you specifically, what needs to be done to explain to him clearly, let him concentrate on deployment."

After that, he said to Xu Li: "Old Xu, do you think this is okay?" ”

Xu Li immediately replied: "I feel that it is feasible, so let's arrange it like this." ”

I only heard Song Changshi shouting loudly, "Wu joins the army, come here!" ”

I saw a middle-aged man who looked like a scribe put down the account book in his hand and walked over quickly, and said, "My lord, are you looking for me?" ”

After Song Changshi finished explaining the specific matters to Wu Senjun, he said to Liu Fan and Ling Han: "Then the matter here will be handed over to you, Lao Xu and I are old, so I won't accompany you, if there is anything important, just knock on the door of the wing room you face." ”

Liu Fan saw that Song Changshi and Xu Zhifu were about to go out, and immediately said to Song Changshi: "Lord Changshi, please wait, I have some personal matters and want to ask you for help." ”

"Oh, General Liu has a personal matter that I need to come forward? It's a great honor, and tell me that you're going to get it done, no matter what. I saw that although Song Changshi looked puzzled, he still replied immediately.

Hearing Liu Fan speak, Xu Li and Ling Han were also puzzled, but after listening to the conversation between the two, they knew that it was Liu Fan's own private matter, although they were puzzled that Liu Fan had just met Song Changshi and entrusted him with private affairs, but as soon as he heard that it was a private matter, Xu Li immediately raised his hand to say goodbye to Song Changshi and Liu Fan, and Liu Fan hurriedly bowed and returned the salute.

When Xu Li walked away, Liu Fan whispered to Song Changshi: "Lord Changshi, it's actually not a big deal, I just want to ask, do you need to arrange a team of guards to be on duty in the hall in public?" ”

As soon as Song Changshi heard that Liu Fan was talking about accounting verification in the name of private affairs, he understood Liu Fan's purpose for doing this after a little thought, thinking that this young man was cautious and thoughtful, and he couldn't help but appreciate it more in his heart, and thought, "If this young man really has a private affair to trust, he will definitely spare no effort." ”

At this time, he calmed down, and after thinking about Liu Fan's proposal repeatedly, he said: "I don't think it's necessary, there are guards on duty at the gate, and there are patrolling sergeants in the government compound at any time. ”

After listening to Song Changshi's reply, Liu Fan immediately said: "Okay, then I'll go and get busy first, please go back and rest, if there is anything, I will inform you immediately." ”

When Liu Fan turned around and sat down in front of an empty table with Ling Han, he saw that Wu Senjun had already brought over the account books for June, and each person was responsible for taking two or three account books, and there were nearly a hundred account books, which were pushed high on the table four or five stacks.

Liu Fan sorted out his thoughts a little in his mind, turned to Ling Han and said, "I need two pieces of rice paper, one large and one small, and I also want a pot of bitter tea, just add some tea leaves, add some salt, and boil." ”

When Ling Han brought a large pot of bitter tea with the maid, Liu Fan had already taken an account book and flipped through it casually, and when he saw the two of them, he said casually: "Ling Han, you can help draw a table on this half of rice paper, like this." ”

Immediately told Ling Han as if he had made a table in later generations.

When he looked up and saw that the maid was still waiting, he immediately said: "The little girl will find a place to rest first, and we may have to find out until dawn tonight, if there is anything, we will call you immediately." ”

I heard the maid immediately say: "This general, my name is Ru'er, I am thirteen years old this year, and I am not young anymore, so you can't call me a little girl." ”

Liu Fan heard the serious appearance of a pair of little girls with sharp tiger teeth as soon as she spoke, and laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing." ”

As he spoke, he bowed to the little maid and said, "Please forgive Miss Ru'er."

When the little maid saw Liu Fanzhen apologizing to herself, she immediately said happily: "It's pretty much the same." ”

Ling Han next to him smiled and said, "Ru'er can't be rude, hurry up and go next door to rest." ”

Ling Han slowly drew the table described by Liu Fan on half a piece of rice paper as required, and the table was roughly divided into fifteen small grids vertically, and nearly 200 horizontal grids horizontally, and the top row was divided into three grids according to seven, seven, and one small grid. It took nearly half an hour to draw such a table.

At this time, Liu Fan had already flipped through four or five account books, and on a small piece of rice paper, he wrote down in order those strange symbols that he had just learned to record numbers from one to nine that night, and next to each number were written the words 'positive' with varying numbers, and most of the last 'positive' characters lacked pen and drawing, and he wondered in his heart: "Brother Liu, what is this counting?" ”

Looking up, Liu Fan was looking through the account books page by page, occasionally raising his face to think.

Listen to Sister Li Min, Brother Liu is twenty years old this year, joined the army at the age of seventeen, has been in the army for four years, and can no longer see the youth that this old man should have on his face, giving people the overall feeling of calmness with a faint wisdom, although his appearance is not the kind of beautiful man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, who looks like Pan An, but burly and majestic, with sharp edges and corners, especially when he concentrates on checking the account books, a pair of bright eyes make the whole person look heroic, makes people carelessly ignore his most disgusting black and red face......

Liu Fan suddenly noticed that Ling Han seemed to be looking at him carefully, so he glanced back at her, this glance suddenly made Ling Han feel his gaffe, and involuntarily reddened.

Liu Fan smiled slightly and picked up the form that had been drawn, and said: "When I was a child, I went to private school for a few years, and I really couldn't write a single word, I said do you write?" ”

Ling Han raised his head, which had been lowered due to embarrassment, and nodded slightly.
