Chapter Seventy-One: A Matter of Baggage
The four brothers and sisters, together with a few guards, had not yet reached the small courtyard, and saw a kind-looking old man standing at the door from a distance, and when they saw the four approaching, they immediately laughed and scolded, "You don't want to take a few little girls to go shopping, right?" I can't tell you're here to do something! ”
Liu Fan immediately stepped forward and saluted Qi Boyuan, and the three girls even saluted Qi Boyuan before he spoke, "Bringing the three of them here is just to learn something from Ling Han, and by the way, I want to be both public and private, so you can take care of one or two!" ”
"As far as you have a lot of ghost eyes, what comes out of your mouth, and the unreasonable ones are also mixed into reason."
Hearing the sound of talking outside, Ling Han and Ru'er also came out of the door, Liu Fan smiled bitterly, "Sin, sin, this courtyard where I live was originally greeted by me at the door, but now it seems that I am a guest." ”
"You kid don't have any sincerity, since you invited me and Miss Ling Han to meet, you should have come over early and wait at the door, until now the sun is three poles before you come leisurely, alas, it's only been less than two months, why have you become such a tired look."
"Da Shuai is cold, haven't I been busy for a while, I finally slept a little lazy, so let's do it, as an apology, after Ling Han and I brew high-purity wine, I will invite Da Shuai and others to come to my house for a light meal, I will personally cook a few dishes, to ensure that Da Shuai can not only drink to the fullest, but also eat to the fullest!"
"Oh, you kid can cook, this is unusual, gentleman is far away from cooking, you really dare to go against the wind of the world!"
"Dashuai, I don't go against the world at all, because I'm not a gentleman in any way, I'm just a rough soldier, and all gentlemen's styles don't apply to me."
"Okay, okay, it's me who said it, you can't compare with a gentleman at all, I want to see what delicious food you can make!"
"Okay, I will definitely not disappoint Dashuai."
Ling Han next to him interjected, "Brother Liu can even cook, don't forget to inform me when the time comes, I'm going too." ”
"Then I can forget you, but you just need to remember that the wine was out that day, and you must go to my house for dinner that night."
When the three of them spoke, the four little girls were not idle, Ru'er had already met with Jin'er and the three of them a few days ago, and at this time, she saw Jin'er and others hiding behind Liu Fan, came over and whispered a few words, and the three little girls immediately followed Ru'er and ran quickly to the side room.
Liu Fan shouted casually, "Ru'er, you write a few words to them, oh, just write a thousand-word essay, let the three of them write it accordingly, in addition, the three of you will be a ten-day period, if you can learn five hundred words within ten days, the eldest brother will be rewarded." ”
Chen Chen immediately asked, "Big brother, what's the reward?" ”
"I heard that Lin Kee Silk Village on Sita Street has recently bought a batch of fine silk, and it looks very good to make a skirt for a little girl."
As soon as the three girls heard Liu Fan's words, they immediately smiled happily, and Chenchen and Lingling whispered to Ru'er, "Sister Ru'er, let's go and write." ”
Ru'er was even more pleasantly surprised when she heard that she could be a gentleman, and replied loudly: "Okay!" ”
Although Liu Fan has not come to this courtyard in the past few days, the camp has specially arranged for someone to sprinkle and sweep the yard every day, so the small courtyard is clean and tidy, coupled with the elegant environment, it seems that it is really a good choice to set up a primary school hall here.
When the three of them entered the living room and sat down, the guards had already poured tea and soup for the three of them, and Ling Han said with a look of fascination, "Brother Liu, I am really happy to have a brother like you, I envy your younger sisters." ”
"Doesn't Ling Han have a brother, I heard that he is still the Tanhualang of Dabi that year!"
"My brother is thirteen years older than me, and my brother was already out of town when I was very young, so I don't spend much time with my brother, although my brother has always been very kind to me, but I feel that you treat your sisters more kindly."
At this time, Qi Boyuan interjected, "Miss Ling Han, you only saw the appearance, you didn't see clearly that the reward method he gave to his sisters just now is actually almost the same as the reward method he used for military training in the big school field outside the city, you must know that it takes fifty words a day to learn, and the three little girls are estimated to have lost several handfuls of hair in the past ten days for a dress." ”
"What you said is a bit too exaggerated, and at most one or two ...... will be dropped."
Before Liu Fan finished speaking, Ling Han next to him had already covered his mouth and laughed softly.
Qi Boyuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "When I was in Ganzhou, I thought you were a sincere person, but I didn't expect you to seem loyal, but in fact you have a bad stomach!" Alas, don't talk about this, today you called me and Ling Han to come here just to be idle here, right? ”
Liu Fan saw that Qi Boyuan was starting to talk about business, so he put away a grinning look and said, "Dashuai, that's the case, maybe you've also heard, some time ago, when you didn't come to Liangzhou some time ago, I and Ling Han one night helped the camp to check the accounts of the heavy battalion for nearly two years, to put it mildly, although I didn't have time to conduct a comprehensive inventory of all the accounts because the account books were all burned that night, but from the several account books that I flipped through casually, I also saw that there were big problems with the bookkeeping methods currently used, The dismissal and new receipts are not separately accounted for, and all procurement items are not classified and all are mixed together, and this is only the accounting of the procurement items linked to money and grain, and the delivery of all physical goods has not even established a set of accounts. ”
"To be honest, it's no wonder that this situation doesn't have a problem, to put it bluntly, it clearly gives people with bad intentions a chance to take advantage of it......"
"Oh, what do you think?" Qi Boyuan asked.
"When I was a child, I read a strange book that recorded a method of bookkeeping, and now that I think about it, this method of bookkeeping contains many subtleties, which can be a good way to prevent fraud in the accounts, and may be effective in eliminating corruption through the books."
"I think, since the start of the war this year, the marshal has taken care of me a lot, my poor boy has nothing to repay, it just so happens that the marshal is in charge of the camp and the baggage camp, and today I invited the marshal to implement this set of accounting methods in the baggage camp through Ling Han's hands......"
Listening to Liu Fan's words, Qi Boyuan also felt a little nostalgic, more than 30 years of military career not only boiled his hair white, but also boiled out a pair of eyes that can see through the human nature of the world, he has long understood that during the period through his own hands pulled up countless people, but there are few people who really take kindness to heart from time to time, many people are just thinking about getting a higher position or benefits through themselves.
Although he is now in the northwest camp under one person and above ten thousand people, in the eyes of others, he knows very well that his main energy in the future is in the camp and the baggage camp, and the current baggage camp is a mess for him, not to mention that all the original account books have been destroyed, and there are almost few people available under his command.
And he didn't know anything about which of the books he left in the past, which was clean and which was not, and which could be used and which could not be used, and the predecessor's resignation due to a moment of carelessness was a good warning to him, and he sometimes remembered and even regretted taking over the position of deputy head of the camp, and was it not good to be at ease as the emperor of the Ganzhou Army? And how to do a good job of the baggage camp now, he still doesn't even have a clue......
"Why don't you just go to the baggage camp to explain the method of bookkeeping to the clerks, but you have to go through Ling Han's hands?"
"Dashuai, you can also see that at present, with my current identity, I feel a little inappropriate to go to the baggage camp to explain the method of bookkeeping, I may be more suitable to teach others the stick method all the way, the key is that I go to the baggage camp to teach the stick method to a group of clerks, not only am I uncomfortable, they may also feel a little uncomfortable."
"Haha, that's true, but I've also heard that your hand that is used to holding a knife has occasionally picked up a brush?"
"Don't mention that stubble, Dashuai, I'm also here to save others, but my calligraphy level is really bad for good Chinese characters."
"Okay, I'm just a little curious after listening to it, besides, I just arrived at the camp, and I really don't have a clue about the baggage camp, you two have checked the accounts, what other suggestions can you have for the management of the baggage camp in the future?"
