Su Mei's words are also right, if she was like Xiao Tao and carried something messy, he would have slept in a separate bed with her.

Su Mei glanced at him and asked, "Do you have any opinions on the two maids who will stay with me for some time first, and then let them stay by my mother's side after a while?" ”

"Nope." Tang Ning shook his head very dryly, living alone in the backyard, it is inevitable that he will be bored after a long time, and it is good to have two people to accompany him to talk.

It's just that the word "mother" came out of Su Mei's mouth, and he still hasn't gotten used to it.

Su Mei took off the hairpin, spread her hair, and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?" ”

Tang Ning was stunned, shook his head and said, "No." ”

Su Mei gave him a roll of the eyes: "What are you doing in a daze if you don't have it, go to bed!" ”

……

April, July, October, and the month of Lunar New Year are the busiest times for households.

Whether it is military salaries, or official rewards, or natural disasters to allocate silver, it is the accounts of the household department, if all are accumulated until the end of the year to liquidate, it is time-consuming and laborious, therefore, the accounts of the household department are a small calculation every quarter, and only need to be summarized at the end of the year.

At this time, it was the beginning of October, and Du Zhiya, who was in charge of account settlement, had not yet waited for the accounts of the previous quarter, and it seemed a little idle.

"Did you see it yesterday, it's amazing!"

"Yes, I've never seen anyone who is faster than Tang."

"It's worthy of three yuan and the first, this is calculated, and you don't even need an abacus ......"

"It's not just that there is no need to calculate, Director Zheng is obviously deliberately making things difficult, but he doesn't even think about it, he can report the answer immediately, it is said that Director Zheng was verified yesterday, and there is no problem with the account book......"

……

The little officials who had nothing to do gathered together in twos and threes in their respective duty rooms and talked in a whisper.

Yesterday's scene in the Duzhi Ya was witnessed by many people.

The speed of that Tang Chief's calculations and the accuracy of the results shocked countless people's jaws.

All the officials in the yamen unanimously agreed that Chief Tang was the fastest man in the history of the household department, and he was about to go to a new realm, a new height, and an incredible speed.

When Tang Ning came to the household department for the second time, he obviously found that the atmosphere of the household department and the Hanlin Academy was really different.

In the past, when he was in the Hanlin Academy, he pressed a little time to enter the government, and there would be someone later than him.

Today he came to the household a quarter of an hour early, and found that the people had almost arrived.

"Master Tang is early!"

"I've seen Master Tang."

……

Walking into the Duzhi Ya, the officials in the Ya saluted him one after another.

In this branch of the yamen, except for Chen Langzhong, he is the biggest, Chen Langzhong has not yet arrived, Tang Ning sat back in his place, took the abacus on the table, and fiddled with it.

Yesterday, Tang Fairy taught him the fingering of the abacus hand in hand, and after he went home, he found a few more books to read, and he had already learned seventy-seven-eighty-eight.

As long as this thing has mastered the formula, it is actually not difficult, the difference is only proficiency.

Chen Langzhong finally entered the duty room before the order, and bowed his hand to Tang Ning, "Morning Master Tang." ”

Tang Ning bowed his hand and saluted back: "Lord Chen, morning." ”

After greeting each other, Tang Ning continued to practice the abacus, and the wooden abacus in the household was far less good than the white jade abacus of the Tang goblin, and it was not as good as the Tang goblin's hand.

I casually found an account book and practiced for a while, and found that he couldn't make mistakes in calculations, but the speed couldn't be improved, so Tang Ning put it down, this kind of thing is accounting, with Tang Fairy, he doesn't have to do it himself, there is no need to be as skilled as her.

Not long after putting down the abacus, a figure walked in from outside the door.

Director Zheng walked to Tang Ning's side, hugged his fists, and said apologetically: "Director Tang, I'm really sorry, I didn't know it was you yesterday, I offended a lot, and I hope that Lord Tang Haihan ......"

Tang Ning waved his hand, didn't care, and said, "It's okay, Director Zheng is also businesslike, and there is nothing to offend." ”

Director Zheng hugged his fists and said: "Director Tang is open-minded, ashamed and ......ashamed."

After he apologized to Tang Ning, he walked up to Chen Langzhong and said, "Lord Chen, there is something I am afraid that you need to go out in person." ”

Chen Langzhong looked at him in surprise and asked, "Oh, what's the matter?" ”

Zheng said: "This year, the household department has received several impeachment letters, several local officials in Shangzhou impeached Shangzhou for embezzling taxes, and the above has just been folded, and the household department is ordered to cooperate with the supervision of the imperial history to go to Shangzhou to verify, check the accounts of Shangzhou in recent years, and set off on the same day, this is the errand of your branch, Han Shilang ordered me to come and inform you, so that you can summon ten Ji Shi within today, and go to Shangzhou tomorrow with the supervision of the imperial history. ”

"To Shangzhou?" Chen Langzhong was stunned and asked: "Although Shangzhou is not far from Beijing, but this time back and forth, it will take at least half a month to check the accounts, if I take away the ten Ji Shi, the accounts of the household department in the last quarter will definitely not be finished before the ninth day of the first month, when the time comes, how to explain to the imperial court?" ”

Director Zheng shook his head, and was embarrassed: "The difficulties on your side, Lord Shilang also understands, but the affairs of Shangzhou are also urgent, and you can't let the supervising imperial history go alone, so you can't explain it to the imperial court." ”

Chen Langzhong's face showed a tangled look, "This ......"

……

Tang Ning flipped through the accounts on the table boringly, Chen Langzhong hurriedly walked over and said, "Master Tang, there is something wrong, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you." ”

Tang Ning raised his head, looked at him, and said, "Lord Chen has something to say. ”

"There are some problems with the tax in Shangzhou, and the above ordered me to take someone to check, this time I will go to Shangzhou, and it will take at least half a month to come back, and during this time, everything in the government will be handed over to the Tang chief."

Tang Ning nodded and said, "No problem, Chen Langzhong can go with confidence." ”

Chen Langzhong showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "I know that I have to calculate the accounts of the last quarter in the past few days, and the history of the Yazhong is scarce, but this time to go to Shangzhou, at least eight people will be needed, and in the next few days, the Tang director will be in the Yazhong, but it will be a lot of hard work." ”

Tang Ning looked at him and said with a smile: "The matter within the division, Lord Chen is polite." ”

A certain government in the household department, Director Zheng stood aside respectfully, looked at Tang Jing and said: "Childe, Du Zhiya has gone ten Ji Shi this time, and only half of Ji Shi is left, so it is absolutely impossible to finish the accounts before the ninth day of the first month." ”

is also the head of the household department, he is in front of Tang Jing, but he is careful everywhere.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Master Zheng hurriedly said, "If Gongzi feels unsafe, do you want me to think of some more ways......

"No, you don't." Tang Jing waved his hand and said, "Chen Langzhong's trip to Shangzhou this time is an order from the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with us, so don't add any more snakes." ”

Director Zheng immediately bowed down and said respectfully: "It's still the son's thoughtful ......"

……

Chen Langzhong said that he would leave, and in the afternoon, he left the government early.

Tang Ning was waiting in the duty room, and suddenly a scribe ran in and said, "Master Tang, last season's accounts have been delivered." ”

Tang Ning walked out of the duty room, walked into the courtyard, and saw four large boxes in the courtyard.

The scribe looked at him with a bitter face, and said: "My lord, in the past, when the history of the government was all there, it could be finished before the ninth day of the first month, but this time, Lord Chen took away half of the history, and it is impossible to complete it before the deadline......"

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Can't you ask a few bookkeepers from outside to help?" ”

The scribe shook his head and said: "Back to my lord, the account books of the household department are very important, so naturally we can't let outsiders look at them at will, if something goes wrong, no one can afford it, except for the history of our support room, even the people in the other three rooms can't borrow it." ”

Tang Ning touched his chin: "That's it......"

The scribe looked at him and asked, "My lord, what shall we do?" ”

Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Let's carry these boxes in first." ”

The scribe immediately said, "And then?" ”

Tang Ning looked at him and said strangely: "Then go home for dinner, I'll release the yaya immediately, aren't you hungry?" ”
