"What's wrong? My lord, I'm fine. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Facing the king in front of him, Mo Qian lost his temper a little.

The position of the chief bookkeeper is not high, but he is the third-in-command in the county, managing the income and expenditure of a county.

But he is such a person, his temper is so good that even the children in the city dare to joke with him, the little old man in his fifties is the master bookkeeper, white and fat, gray hair, ordinary clothes, and his favorite thing is to eat a few baskets of steamed buns at Uncle Li's steamed bun stall slowly, no matter how you look at it, he is a good old man.

Maybe it's because of his personality that he should be the master of this book, because there is no threat at all.

The little old man Wang Yan was a little anxious at this time: "My lord, the treasury silver in the yamen is not enough, it stands to reason that last year was a good year, and the people's taxes were paid on time, so there should be no such problem, but when I checked today, I found that not only was there not much silver left, but there was also a deficit of nearly 1,000 taels of silver in the account books. ”

"What?" Mo Qian's heart tightened, the lack of treasury money in this yamen was a big deal. "Is this the case in previous years?"

"That's not it, in previous years, there was usually a slight surplus, and there was really no deficit like this, but the income and expenditure of this account were done steadily, I guess there must be a cat in it, but I can't see what the problem is." Wang Yan said with a solemn face.

Mo Qian's heart was heavy, and his eyes showed a fierce light, "It's really hateful, this kind of person should really be dragged out and cut by a thousand knives," Wang Yan was also indignant, "That's right!" Those who love ink are truly unforgivable. ”

"I haven't even started yet, but he took the lead." Mo Qian said with pity.

"Huh?" Wang Yan was a little difficult to understand what Mo Qian said.

Mo Qian hurriedly changed his words, "Huh...... I mean, this kind of person is really the scum of our officials, the moth of the people, and I must take good action to rectify him. ”

Gu Yushi sneered disdainfully, she has a thief's heart but not a thief's courage, of course she is not a little old man like Wang Yan, on the contrary, she has practiced martial arts, her ear power is good, and everything Mo Qian said is in her ears.

"I remember that the Lord didn't seem to say that, what else did he do, did someone do anything to Kuyin?" Wang Yan scratched his head, not figuring it out for a while.

"Oh, don't think about it so much, take me to see the account books."

"Hey, okay." Wang Yan hurriedly responded.

Gu Yushi on the side was anxious, "Wait, idiot, what should I do?" ”

"Stay where it's cool." Mo Qian replied casually, thinking about it again, "You go back to the room to clean up first, and I'll be back later." After that, he followed Wang Yan to the account room.

Wang Yan took out a large stack of account books from the locked cabinet and put them on the table, "My lord, the accounts are here." ”

Then he picked up one of them and said to Mo Qian, "The accounts, income and expenditure are all recorded, clearly organized, and according to the records on it, the income and expenditure are balanced, and there is no problem at all, but the losses are too much." ”

Mo Qian looked at Wang Yan with some puzzlement. These accounts are indeed numerous, and they are written down like running accounts, which makes people have a headache when they see it, but it is not impossible to see the problem.

As long as you draw an account table according to the things recorded on it, summarize and sort it out, and then compare it with the income and expenditure accounts of the official treasury, won't it be clear?

Wang Yan was a little inexplicable by Mo Qian, what, did I say something wrong?

Mo Qian immediately came to his senses, slapped his head, and almost forgot that this was a different world that had lagged behind the earth for nearly a thousand years. This method of accounting has not yet been published here.

Mo Qian smiled vaguely, and the sense of superiority of the traverser arose.

In my previous life, in order to be greedy for a little cheapness, I did a lot of such things, and I specialized in taking advantage of the loopholes of rules and regulations.

No matter who you are, if you don't squeeze the oil and water out of him, it's really intolerable.

Isn't it just a journal? In my previous life, I could have been able to do it for you by such a person, but could it be difficult for me to fail?

"I think I get what you mean." Mo Qian said.

"Oh? Do you already have a solution? Wang Yan asked in surprise.

He had also asked a few bookkeepers to come over before, but none of them had a solution.

But there is one who gritted his teeth and wanted to list them one by one for comparison, the time limit is three months, you are not kidding, how can you have so much money to hire a bookkeeper to settle this confused account.

Wang Yan laughed and passed, and Liu Xiancheng directly asked someone to blow out the account room.

"I wonder what your lordship has planned?" Wang Yan's face was full of surprise.

"Wouldn't it be enough to list these accounts and compare them with the number of official treasury?" Mo Qian said lightly.

Wang Yan was a little disappointed, hey, sure enough, it was the same as the idea of the account office, it seemed that he still had too high expectations for this county magistrate.

Those who read books are originally studying the way of Confucius and Mencius and writing articles of sages, so what time do they have to study arithmetic?

However, Wang Yan didn't want to save Mo Qian's face, and said with a smile, "What the adults said is indeed reasonable, list the accounts one by one, and those who are greedy for ink will have nothing to hide, but this time is too wasted, and the amount of work can easily be several months, and the wages of the account room must be paid, which is really worth the loss." ”

I saw Mo Qian waving his hand in a sassy manner, "It only takes two days for me to come." ”

Wang Yan smiled dumbly, it's a good thing that this newly appointed adult has some scholarly anger, but if it passes, it will be a bad thing, "Don't be joking, don't be rash about such a big thing, let's think about how to fill this loophole." ”

"I'm not kidding, I can really find out in two days." This is still Mo Qian's conservative estimate, these things are a little more, but they are all the same things as running accounts, and they are not too complicated, if you work hard, you may be able to get it done in one night.

But after all, this is public money, even if the tiger is getting back the money, it has little to do with him, so there is no need to work so hard.

"Okay, since the adult is so confident, then please leave the matter of checking the accounts to the adult, and the lower official will go and call the account office over."

"No need, don't startle the snake first, these things can be solved by the official, you go down first."

"Yes, the next official will retire." Wang Yan shook his head and went down, looking like he still didn't believe what Mo Qian said.

Mo Qian sat on the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and had an account book in his hand, looked at it for a while, and threw the account book directly on the table.

This person who falsified accounts is a master, since he dares to write these things clearly in the account book, he is expected to be not afraid of others to check, after all, he is a little conceited.

Since Wang Yan can serve as the chief bookkeeper, in addition to personality reasons, he must also have a certain ability, even he just thinks that there is a problem, but after thinking about it, he can't see the reason, which shows his level.

It's a pity that he met a person who opened a cheat.

His self-righteous tricks were just a joke in front of Mo Qian, who had modern knowledge.

This is the account book made by the former chief bookkeeper Zhang Zhao, and he is also a county magistrate, so he can't bypass the county order and be greedy for ink alone, so he must be a raccoon dog.

After determining these, the biggest question is not who is greedy for the silver, but whether the silver can be recovered, and the former county magistrate has already sent the scholar back to his hometown.

Daqi's laws stipulate that officials cannot serve in their hometowns to prevent collusion with local forces, so it is very difficult to get the money back from the previous county commander, and now the only way to do it is to attack Zhang Zhao.

Mo Qian sneered, picked up the white paper on the bookcase, and wrote boring numbers on it, it didn't take long for these numbers to be Zhang Zhao's soul hook.
