Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Storm is Coming
Maybe Luo Li's worries are superfluous, since Bai Zijin stayed in the Prince's Mansion for two days, he didn't show anything unusual during the period, except for eating every day, he was busy with good things.
So far, the prince's mansion has been a lot more lively, and you can see the brothers parting ways at the gate of the mansion early every morning.
The fat man went to the military department to order Mao, Luo Li went to the Tuntian Division outside the city to be on duty, and Bai Zijin went to the other side of the city to establish a good hall.
All in all, two days passed peacefully, until the arrival of the third day, which made Luo Li busy wanting to scold.
Previously, Han Hao said that within three days after the rest of the day, it was the Tuntian Division that dealt with the affairs of the Tuntian offices in various places, and the first two days were fine at the beginning, but on the third day, all the scribes who were grinding and ungraded came up!
For a while, the farm tool workshop has to purchase things, the next time it costs money to cultivate seeds, and the next time it is the money applied for by the tuntian offices in various places, which is inseparable from money.
What made Luo Li even more troubled was that Han Hao, the old man, seemed to be ignorant, and directly threw these jobs to Luo Li alone, and set a time limit for him to be presented to the Ministry of Industry before the next day of rest.
Yes, Luo Li can be described as dizzy all day, looking at the numbers and seeing that he almost didn't faint in the end!
Not to mention that the numbers are in traditional Chinese, just one of the names alone accounts for nearly half of the page, and the most painful thing is that the various funds are not classified, so you can imagine the difficulty of checking!
Busy from early in the morning to the evening, the groggy Luo Li went back to the prince's mansion with a bunch of account books that needed to be stamped with the official seal, and it was estimated that he would be busy until the early hours of the morning tonight, otherwise he would not be able to hand it over to the Ministry of Industry at the specified time.
After dinner, Luo Li brought a plate of beloved pig's trotters, and returned to the room alone to continue checking.
However, he also learned wisely, and did not continue to use traditional numbers, but chose to copy each item one by one with Arabic numerals from his previous life, and then check them one by one.
Two hours later, Luo Li, who was sitting in the room for checking, suddenly stood up and slapped himself hard: "I'm such a big fool, I know how to use Arabic numerals to copy, why don't I know how to type tables and classifications?" β
Luo Li, who was all-in-one, held the brush excitedly and continued to be busy.
The night passed quickly, and Luo Li, who had a pair of panda eyes, was very depressed, thinking that he would copy and sort it overnight, but he was sleepy when he arrived, and fell asleep directly on the table.
On the second day, as soon as he stepped into the gate of Tuntian Division, he saw Han Hao's evil gaze: "Yo! Lord Luo, why are you so depressed today? It's good to be young, but you also have to know how to control it! β
glanced at the other party fiercely, Luo Li couldn't help but slander in his heart: Okay? What a fart! If it weren't for your bad old man who pushed all the things on me, would Uncle Luo have languished?
I can only think about this in my heart, and if I say it, I will definitely be able to offend this old man to death.
Judging from the contact in the past few days in office, the top boss Han Hao is indeed not the kind of person who oppresses his subordinates, he is indeed too busy, and finally the court sent a deputy to share some political affairs, of course he will not be polite.
But Han Hao is not a fool, he knows that Luo Li can't digest too many political affairs at one time, so he assigned the matter of checking to Luo Li first.
It can be seen how busy Han Hao was before Luo Li arrived.
After pondering for a moment, Luo Li replied with a wicked smile following Han Hao's words, "Hehe! Oh, yes! There's no way, it's good to be young, but it's a pity that Lord Han can't understand it at the moment! β
As soon as the words fell, his legs accelerated, and Luo Li escaped from the gate of Tuntian Division and came to the exclusive public house, leaving only the angry Han Hao to scold the street in place.
Brewed a pot of good tea, put it to his mouth and took two sips, and then Luo Li continued to copy it.
Today, he was the only one on duty in the entire Tuntian Division, and the rest of the people all went to the nearby farmland to distribute seeds, guide the people to farm, distribute farm tools, and so on.
A morning passed, and Luo Li, who didn't care about eating, finished transcribing all the categories, and then began to check them one by one.
Half an hour...... An Hour...... Two Hours......
Just as Luo Li was gradually getting his hands on it, suddenly, he found that there was something wrong with a rather secret silver application, and he had the impression that this one seemed to have been seen somewhere before.
frowned slightly, picked up the pen and looked back one by one, Luo Li thought: Could it be that his eyes are spent, causing him to see it wrong?
It didn't take long for the same application item to be found in another place, and even the amount of silver taels required was exactly the same!
After gently lifting the brush and marking it here, Luo Li didn't think much about it, thinking that it was just a mistake made by the scribes when transcribing.
It's a pity that Luo Li was naΓ―ve, and after another half an hour, he found five identical silver two applications one after another, and the means were extremely secretive.
In an instant, he stood up violently, and his face became extremely ugly!
At this point, there is no need to think about it at all, someone is going to start doing something to their own 'cannon fodder'!
To tell the truth, if Luo Li hadn't used the method of tabular classification to list similar items together, he would not have noticed the existence of duplicate items at all.
Under normal circumstances, people who have no experience in account reconciliation, even if they notice that something is wrong, and want to go back to the dizzying traditional numbers on each page of the previous page, are likely to be fruitless, and most of them will think that they have misremembered!
What's more, it would be extremely time-consuming to re-read the ledgers that are about to pile up into a small mountain.
It is important to know that there is a time limit for this matter, and if it is not handed over to the Ministry of Industry before the next day of rest, the required silver taels cannot be reported to the Ministry of Finance for appropriation, which will eventually lead to all operational matters being stranded, and Luo Li will bear the brunt of the punishment at that time.
If Luo Li, in order to complete this matter, went through it very quickly and did not find any problems with the accounts, when he reported to the household department, he would inevitably find that he had applied for the same fund many times, or used such a secret intersection and mixed means, then the result can be imagined, and he would definitely be punished for embezzling money in vain.
At that time, even the fat man will not be able to protect him, and he will eventually fall into the black prison of Heishui Wei, and life is better than death!
Slowly walking towards the door of the public house, Luo Li was in an extremely complicated mood at the moment, thinking that the forces of all parties were just trying to force him away, but he knew that the other party would directly lose a king bomb as soon as he came.
"Is there a shadow of you in there?" Luo Li looked at the sky, and couldn't help but wonder if Han Hao was involved.
At the beginning, this matter should have been checked by Han Hao, but yesterday the other party pushed everything to Luo Li, and at this time, there was a problem with the accounts, how could there be such a coincidence?
But Han Hao is indeed a diligent person, if he really stands in the ranks, he shouldn't be reduced to a bare-bones officer who has no available people under him!
"It seems that I want to find out the bottom of Han Hao, otherwise I will really be a fool if I am sold and help the people!" Luo Li muttered to himself, then turned around and went back to the public room to continue to get busy.
