The next day, Jiang Anyi began to handle the handover, and the head of the sixth room held a thick account book to hand over to the family, for example, the official room should inform the county of the population, including the number of officials, officials, and Chengding; The household should explain the situation of the field, the amount of money, grain and materials, etc.; The prison ward informed the prisoners that they had to grasp the details of how many unemployed vagrants were in each village, and the "Da Zheng Law" stipulated that there were 38 major items to be handed over.

Because Yan Kaichen has been re-elected as the commander of Fuluo County for two consecutive terms, this account book is stacked higher than a person, and the officials in the sixth room are respectful on the surface, and they all have the intention of reading jokes in their hearts.

The officials saw that Jiang County ordered a man wearing a silver mask, this person was very familiar with the process, and the "horn horn" was assigned in an orderly manner, and the specific matters of counting the number of people and inventory were handed over to Shi, Huang Dongquan and others, and the sixteen servants brought by the family were all useful people, and one person was assigned to check when one item was ordered. The officials were dumbfounded, relieved their luck, and honestly took the stones and others to inspect the materials.

The two most difficult things left are money and food, money not only refers to the money in stock, but also taxes in the account, how to spend it, and how much to save; Grain is the storage of grain in the warehouse, to measure the quantity, check the quality, measure the rice yield of the grain, and so on.

When Zhang Keji was in Jiang's house, he told Jiang Anyi that it was not a matter of one or two days to check the accounts during the handover, and it was necessary to settle the "deposits, revenues, expenditures, and surpluses" in a lump sum of money, and also to ask whether the income was hidden, whether the expenditures were implemented, and whether the balance was in line with the inventory, which was the most cumbersome.

There are a number of the master's six arts, Jiang Anyi can settle accounts, and when he was a child, he also calculated income and expenditure accounts with his mother, of course, it is only an account of dozens of copper coins, Jiang Anyi is very confident. In order to make Jiang Anyi realize the seriousness of the situation, Zhang Keji turned over the running account of the Jiang family's cottage and asked Jiang Anyi to practice in advance.

Jiang Anyi had already developed a habit of asking the demon master about everything, and he quickly got an answer from the demon master. The twisted and simple characters represent numbers such as "one, two, three, ......", and the large stacks of words have become simple symbols addition and subtraction.

Of course, you can't tell Zhang Keji about the demon master, Jiang Anyi blushed and accepted Zhang Keji's praise, and Zhang Keji's admiration for the lord became more and more firm, and he was full of confidence in Fuluo's account.

Set up two tables, Jiang Anyi and Zhang Keji each sat on one with a pen in hand. A string of numbers came out of the mouth of Su Guoliang, the head of the household department, Jiang Anyi and Zhang Keji quickly wrote it down, and then added or subtracted. There is no discrepancy in the first account, but there are some questions about income and expenditure, the amount is not large, Jiang Anyi did not study it in detail, just let it go.

Su Guoliang was secretly proud, the Su family has been the head of the household in Fuluo County since his grandfather's generation, with the familiar counting method, the Su family has a big mansion, the family has a shop and a field, and it is a rich family in Fuluo City. With a skill, no matter how the county order is changed, it is inseparable from the Su family's bookkeeping, and this craft can be regarded as a family learning.

Relying on the first two or three taels of silver a year can't make a family, the Su family naturally has a way to do tricks in the account, the Su family's account has never been wrong for more than 40 years, there is a fake in the account just now, and he added some non-existent prices to it, which is very old, who can find out, don't look at the shelf of Jiangxian Lingla, in fact, it is just a straw bag.

changed the name of the official to report the number, and Su Guoliang crossed his legs and drank tea on the side. Just now, taking the opportunity to pour tea, he deliberately turned to the silver-faced man's table and peeked, the paper was full of twisted ghost drawings, did he have to invite the gods to count. Su Guoliang sneered, sat down peacefully, and shook his legs proudly, if it weren't for the lobby, he would have hummed two lines of singing.

Suddenly, the silver-faced man shouted, "Slow, this pen is wrong." ”

Su Guoliang was taken aback, and hurriedly got up to check the account book, the Su family's talent was extremely fast, and he added or subtracted slightly, and sure enough, this account was overcounted by twenty-six yuan. Su Guoliang was secretly frightened, could it be that this ghost painting talisman really had the help of the gods, and such a small number of decimals was found out, so he hurriedly laughed and said: "The adults are calculating, the villain is dazzled here, and he is willing to make up for it." ”

Jiang Anyi took a pen and wrote it down on the side, and then said, "Go on." After a while, the sound of "slow" started again, this money was deliberately reversed, and the copper coins were taken by 110 yuan.

Su Guoliang couldn't sit still, sweat rolled out, and kept shouting "slow" like a knife stabbing him.

After the word "slow" continuously, Su Guoliang "pounced" and fell to his knees, and said miserably: "The adult spares his life, and the villain is guilty." ”

Jiang Anyi ignored him and asked the little official to continue to report the number, and in one morning, more than 100 loopholes in the account were found, involving 2764239 silver. The accounts that originally took a few days to check were checked in less than half a day, and everyone was shocked, looking at the silver mask on Zhang Keji's face, this person was a god and a ghost.

Su Guoliang was already so frightened that his face was pale, and he shook on the ground, Yan Kaichen sat calmly on the side, there were many accounts that he instructed Su Guoliang to do. Thinking of Zhang Putian's fate, Su Guoliang beat his spirit and signaled to Gu Kaichen with his eyes, the meaning is very clear, if you don't open your mouth to save me, I will arch you out.

Helpless, Yan Kaichen had no choice but to get up and say: "Lord Jiang, the accounts are full of loopholes, and Yan is hard to blame, and I hope that my lord can take it lightly for the sake of his colleagues." ”

Zhang Keji whispered a few words to Jiang Anyi, Jiang Anyi smiled and said: "Yan Weng is not in a hurry, the account has not been cleared yet, the amount on this account is clear, but this large amount of expenditure still needs to be verified one by one, such as the six hundred taels of disaster relief silver issued by the court in the ninth year of Fengle, you need to ask, and there are ......."

Yan Kaichen's head was "buzzing", the few accounts ordered by Jiang Anyi were all fake, and he ordered Su Guoliang to pretend to spend money and be greedy for ink, if this is verified, he will be ready to eat in prison. Yan Kaichen's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Lord Jiang, you have to kill them all without leaving a trace of mercy." ”

Jiang Anyi was furious, how could these corrupt officials have half a sense of mercy when they looted the people's fat and ointment, and they became ruthless when they checked the accounts, and sneered at the moment: "What does Yan Weng mean by this, Jiang Mou checks the accounts and checks the materials is the proper meaning, this account is not right, shouldn't the money be verified if it is not true?" ”

Yan Kaichen couldn't hold it anymore, knelt on the ground, burst into tears, and begged: "Master Jiang, raise your noble hand, read on the old man's age and time, you can let me go." I'm willing to make up all the shortfalls, and spare my life. ”

From Jiang Anyi's heart, he really didn't want to let go of Yan Kaichen, but seeing that Yan Kaichen's hair was gray, his thin body was shaking, and he looked at himself pitifully, with snot on his beard, Jiang Anyi sighed and said, "Since Yan Weng knows his mistake, Jiang will take a step back." ”

Standing up, Jiang Anyi said to all the officials and officials in the lobby: "Jiang knows that many of you have deceived and embezzled property, Jiang is limited to three days, please make up for the shortfall, and after three days, re-approve, if there is any mistake, don't blame the official for being ruthless." put Su Guoliang in prison and waited for his fate. ”

The money shopkeeper of Yuehe Inn is in a good mood, the business in the store has been much better recently, and many pharmacists have heard that Fuluo County has rushed to Xu Bully, and medicinal materials can be bought and sold freely, so they came with the intention of giving it a try. The first batch of Ruyi bought medicine, the news spread, more and more people came, and the inn was actually full of seventy percent, which has not happened in the past three years.

The influx of pharmaceutical merchants has brought prosperity to all industries, and Jiang Anyi has only been in charge of Fuluo County for six days, and the entire county has become more angry, drinking water and thinking of the source, and the people's good impression of this county magistrate has doubled.

In the evening, the money shopkeeper was leaning in front of the counter to settle the accounts, and the head of the Yamen workshop walked in and shouted, "Cousin." ”

Lei Meng got a little kiss with the money shopkeeper, and took some care of the money shopkeeper on weekdays, the money shopkeeper put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "Brother, have you eaten, I have just arrived in Pingshan to mix wine, the wine is good, let's drink two glasses." ”

There were many guests eating in the lobby of the inn, and Lei Meng smiled and said, "Cousin, business is good." ”

"It's okay", the money shopkeeper couldn't hide the joy on his face, and said: "The county master drove Xu Mingyuan away, and the medicinal herb business has flourished again, and even the business of my small shop has improved a lot." ”

Lei Meng felt uncomfortable, cousin they were happy, he couldn't be happy, the workshop also had a deficit, the money for digging canals and repairing roads in the past few years was mostly false, and some of them were recovered in the past two days, and there were more than ten taels left, seeing that the deadline for the county order verification would come tomorrow, he didn't dare to try the county master's methods.

The silver-faced man beside Jiang County Ling is possessed by a god and can draw runes, and Su Guoliang's three generations have never had an accident when he does accounts, but as soon as the runes appeared, they were found to have loopholes. This kid is dark enough, and there are nearly eight hundred taels of black on the account, and I heard that in the past two days, the family is selling their land and making money to redeem people.

After three glasses of wine, Lei Meng hesitated and said, "Brother, please help me with something, can you lend me some money?" ”

Speaking of money, the money shopkeeper immediately became nervous, the business has just improved in the past two days, and he is thinking of repairing it again, painting the place where it should be painted, detecting the leak where it should be detected, and replacing some tables and chairs, and the guests will come to the door. However, Lei Meng is a member of the Yamen, he is close to himself, and he also took care of myself in the past, so it is difficult to refuse.

The money shopkeeper gritted his teeth, stood up and came to the front desk, took the more than three taels of silver he got from the cabinet and scattered them on the table: "Brother, it's all here, you can use it." ”

Lei Meng smiled bitterly: "Brother, what do you think of me, have I ever asked you for money, and you treat me as an autumn wind." ”

The money shopkeeper thought about it, this is true, Lei Meng also asked for money, but he never stretched out his hand to himself, did he really encounter any difficulties? He got up and took the money back to the cabinet and locked it, filled a glass of wine and asked, "Brother, what happened?" ”

Lei Meng said the reason in the ear of the money shopkeeper in a low voice, and the money shopkeeper was happy in his heart, and secretly shouted that it is time for you bastards to be unlucky, and someone will finally cure you. The shopkeeper picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and the wine was drunk happily.

All kinds of gossip are very loud in Fuluo County, Jiang County has gods and people to help, the silver-faced man is possessed by gods and ghosts, Yan wants money to spend money to save his life, Su is settling accounts but is settling, and Xu officials are raising money everywhere to tide over the difficulties......

The silver-faced immortal helped Jiang County to punish the evil and promote the good by the people of Fuluo County, looking at the originally high-spirited officials and officials like frosted eggplants, the wine in the wine shop was selling well, and the people were happy today.
