Chapter 19: Cleaning up the moths
Bai Yun suppressed the evil spirit that was stirred up by Qi Qi, ate breakfast, asked Zhang Dadian to make tea, sent it to the account room, and he went to the account room himself.
On the way, I asked several people, and finally knew where the account room was, which is no wonder he didn't know, it was really stupid in the past, except for the backyard and the front yard, I basically haven't been to other places.
The stupidity of the predecessor can be seen from the fact that he lives in the backyard.
Generally normal people, the eldest son in the family lives in the east wing, but the predecessor lived in the backyard, and it is too stupid to think that the reason why he can't take care of himself in life, and after the death of Bai's father and wife, he has never renewed or taken concubines, and the backyard has been vacant.
Pushing open the door of the account room, at a glance, the four main rooms were in full swing calculating, counting the paper in their hands, and there was not even an abacus.
"Ahem......"
No one noticed him coming in, and Bai Yun coughed twice to indicate his presence.
"Who are you, the account room is heavy, how can you break in, you don't know the rules too much, and you don't leave quickly"
It was reasonable that someone ignored him, but the other party opened his mouth to drive people away, which made Bai Yun feel unhappy for a while.
"You don't know me?" Bai Yun pointed to his nose and asked the bookkeeper who spoke.
"Who are you, why does the old man know you!" The bookkeeper looked at the expression of a fool, "You don't leave quickly, the account room is heavy and you can't enter lightly."
Bai Yun was depressed, and his own account office didn't know his young master.
But this can't be blamed on the account room, as an account room, the scope of their work is so large, and places outside the account room are basically rarely visited, let alone the backyard.
However, the shopkeepers of some Bai family shops are different, they often have to come to discuss or report things with Bai's father or Bai Cai'er, and there are more people who have seen Baiyun's predecessor, just like Baiyun partnered with the shopkeeper of Chen Ruitian's jewelry store.
Bai Yun stood at the door of the account room, neither did he enter or retreat, and he didn't know how to tell them his identity.
Could it be that I told them directly, I am the young master of the Bai family, yes or I am only who is whom, even if I say it, it is estimated that no one will believe it.
Just when Bai Yun was in a dilemma, the savior came, and Zhang Dadian, who was called by him to make tea, finally appeared at the right time.
"Young master, tea is here!" Zhang Dadian got behind Bai Yun, saw that Bai Yun was still standing at the door, and asked, "Why doesn't the young master go in."
"They don't know me, they won't let me in," Bai Yun said.
When Zhang Dadian heard this, he glanced inside, and immediately shouted in the account room: "Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Fang, Uncle Xu, this is the second young master of our family."
Bai Yun nodded, since someone introduced him, then he didn't have to be polite, and stepped directly into the account room.
The furnishings in the account room are relatively simple, the entrance is a small hall with a length and width of more than two zhang, there is no furnishings, there are six four-foot desks in the inside, three on the left and right, respectively, in the middle is a relatively large desk placed in the middle, just like the teaching classroom, a corridor in the middle leads directly to the main position.
"Hello, four gentlemen!" When Bai Yun was looking at the arrangement of the account room, the four account rooms had also stood up and looked at him.
"The young master laughed, how can you afford it!" The account office of the larger grade who opened his mouth before spoke.
"Who are you?" Bai Yun looked at him.
"Old Fang Shiliang" Fang Shiliang, who had driven people before, spoke first, and then pointed to the others and introduced them one by one, "This is Wang Yuewang's account room, this is Zhang Xuemeng, and this is Xu Wenqing."
"Hmm" Bai Yun nodded and said, "All four gentlemen, please sit down, I'm just idle, come and see!" ”。
The four bookkeepers were not polite, and sat down one after another, continuing to busy themselves with their own affairs.
I'm just polite, you guys are really sitting, Baiyun's mouth and eyes are a little twitching, I've never seen such an unkind person, tell you to sit, sit down immediately, let me go on later.
He didn't know that in this era, literati are literati, although they can only be counted as half, but in the eyes of the four account rooms, Bai Yun is a fool who has been stupid from a snack, and it is okay to be polite, there is no need to make friends, if Bai Yun is replaced by Bai Caier, it will be another scene.
Others ignore themselves, and Bai Yun naturally won't go to the hot face and cold buttocks, and walk in by himself, looking left and right,
Zhang Dadian followed behind him, holding the tea, and also felt that these accounts were too faceless, suddenly, his heart moved, and took advantage of the white clouds to turn at will, took a few steps to the innermost main table, put down the tea, and said: "Young master, you sit here."
Bai Yun nodded, glanced at Zhang Dadian approvingly, and no longer looked left and right, and walked directly to the main table and sat down.
Fang Ledger secretly glanced at it, the corners of his eyes jumped, and he said in his heart: "It's bad, I've offended people now."
Bai Yun sat on the main seat and didn't speak, just flipped through the account books and accounts on the table, and the more he looked at it, the deeper his brows wrinkled.
Of course, this is not that he sees any problems, but this ancient bookkeeping method is really very big to see, simple addition and subtraction, all add up to so one hundred and eighty yuan, and there are only two or three names, but a whole page is memorized.
"Young Master, is there anything wrong with the accounts?" The accounting room looked back several times, and when he saw Bai Yun's brows furrowing deeper and deeper, he asked.
He didn't think that Bai Yun, who had just recovered after being stupid for more than ten years, could see anything from the account books, just to relieve such a somewhat depressing atmosphere, so he asked like this.
"No" Bai Yun shook his head, someone spoke, and it was just by this step that Bai Yun could say the purpose of his visit, "It's just that these accounts are too complicated, and I'm a little dizzy."
"If the young master is uncomfortable, let's go and rest," Fang said the account room, which was naked and driving people away.
"It's okay" Bai Yun shook his head indifferently, "By the way, Mr. Fang, the jewelry store account book that Sister Cai'er read yesterday can be here?" ”。
"Those ledgers are sealed, in the box next to you," Fang said, pointing to the box with a seal on the right corner of Baiyun.
"Well, it's okay, you're busy!" Bai Yun nodded and continued to look at the ledger in his hand.
In and out of the account mixing, the whole account book is like a messy draft, there is no law, all things are mixed and uneven, no wonder Sister Cai'er checked all night, and she can't find anything, so she will keep accounts, think of what to find out from it, the calculation method of this era, it is indeed difficult and difficult.
Bai Yun looked at it for a while, and already had a general understanding of the bookkeeping methods of this era, and felt that he was almost ready to do it, so he said to Zhang Dadian: "Go, move that box over."
Zhang Dadian responded and moved the box containing the jewelry account book to Bai Yun's feet.
"Take out all the ledgers inside, classify them according to different stores, and then sort them up and down according to different times, I'll take a look later" instructed Zhang Dadian to open the box and classify them, and Bai Yun continued to look at the ledger in his hand.
The four bookkeepers saw that Bai Yun was about to move the account book of the jewelry store, and the Xu bookkeeper wanted to open his mouth to stop it, but saw Fang Shiliang give him a look and asked him not to pay attention to it.
"Young master, it's divided" Zhang Dadian sorted all the ledgers completely.
"Okay, you help me grind the ink" pinched the joint, making a snapping sound, Bai Yun spread out a piece of white paper, and pressed it with a.
Pick up a ledger, write down the name of the shop on it, then the date, and start making a record.
Time passed little by little, and the only sound in the accounting room was the churning of the paper industry and the squeak of grinding.
Dizzy, dazzling, it took more than half an hour to read half of the account book, Bai Yun felt that his head was going to explode, this way of accounting, not to mention the chaos, there are still many names that are uncertain, just add a sum after another name, and record a number.
"Self-help, do you have a way to calculate?" Bai Yun rubbed his temples and asked in his consciousness to save himself.
"Yes, scan calculate!" Self-help answered.
"Okay, you can help me do the math!" As soon as he finished speaking, a huge screen appeared in front of Bai Yun's eyes.
"I'll go, will anyone see it" The giant screen that suddenly appeared, Bai Yun was startled.
"No, it's an eyeball, only you can see it," replied Zi Shu.
"That's good"
Bai Yunyou rested for about a quarter of an hour, got up again, crumpled the paper he had recorded, and threw it aside.
The four account offices looked at Bai Yun's actions, and they all showed a trace of disdain, and secretly scolded a fool for being a fool.
After laying the pages again, Bai Yun picked up the ledger again, but this time he did not record while reading, but quickly turned the pages one by one, and self-help was also scanned by his eyeballs, and the information on the giant screen in front of him was classified, and the wrong places in the accounts were marked in red.
The four ledger offices wanted to see what tricks Bai Yun could come up with, but seeing that he had done nothing but turn the pages one by one, they lost interest and began to continue doing their own things.
Time ticked by, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Bai Yun had already scanned three account books, and there were more and more red marks on the giant screen.
Seeing the rows of red letters, Bai Yun felt funny and a little angry, such a big business group as the Bai family can be cleverly set up by others, and embezzle so much, although every bad debt is not big, but it can't stand the accumulation, and the number they have accumulated is not small.
"Zhang Dadian, you go and inform all the shopkeepers of the jewelry store, before noon, all rush to the account room, and say that the master called them over."
Seeing that the speed of self-help scanning was so fast, Bai Yun felt that he should be able to finish it all before noon, so he ordered Zhang Dadian to invite someone.
"In addition, talk to the kitchen, make more meals at noon, just green vegetables and tofu rice, and then go to ten nursing homes, and wait outside the door after the shopkeepers are here, well, these four gentlemen's lunch will also be prepared."
After ordering everything in one breath, Bai Yun continued to look at the account books, completely ignoring the strange surprised expressions of the four account rooms.
