Chapter Fifty-Three: Messy Accounts

"Bamboo?"

Chen Daomai took a big mouthful of porridge in his mouth, eating very roughly, scratching his head and thinking about it, and said, "No one grows bamboo near us, what's wrong?" Why do you want to know this? ”

"Nobody grows bamboo?" Chen Fei seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water, and his expression was extremely lonely.

"How can no one grow bamboo? Bamboo, the three gentlemen of the cold year, the embodiment of purity and purity, no one grows bamboo, this is not scientific......"

Chen Daomai's eyelids were picked, his son wouldn't be undersmoked again, right?

"Smack!" Chen Fei was slapped on the back of the head by his father.

"Coward, what nonsense, saying that no bamboo is no bamboo, and I will whip you if you talk nonsense!"

Chen Fei covered his head, and finally accepted the fact that there was no bamboo nearby, and then, he continued to ask: "What about the green sandalwood tree?" Are there any sandalwood trees here? ”

Daddy's eyes widened blankly: "What tree?" ”

Yes, you don't need to ask, just look at Daddy's appearance and know that he doesn't know.

In short, Chen Fei was very blocked and in a bad mood now, so he hastily ate some breakfast and went to the county seat with his things.

"Dad, I'm going to the county office."

Chen Daomai said worriedly: "Do you know the way to the county office?" Don't get lost like you did yesterday. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, this time." Chen Fei said goodbye to his father and walked towards the county office, thinking about papermaking along the way.

Although papermaking was invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was the most primitive papermaking technology, and the rough paper produced was not conducive to writing, and it was fragile, easy to get damp, and not conducive to preservation.

The [Papermaking Technique] obtained by Chen Fei last night recorded two well-known paper-making techniques - rice paper and bamboo paper.

Needless to say, this kind of paper has good ink wetting, not easy to age, wear-resistant, not easy to change color, well-known for thousands of years, more than 1,000 years later, Xuan paper is still widely used in Chinese painting and calligraphy, known as "the king of paper, paper longevity for a thousand years", it is enough to see how much influence the invention of rice paper has.

And what about bamboo paper? The status of bamboo paper is second only to rice paper, and it can even be said that it is the same as the name of rice paper! It is characterized by white and soft, soaked and ink retention, tough and smooth, which is far from being comparable to the paper of this era.

The fuck is that Chen Fei knows how to make these two kinds of paper, but he can't produce two things.

First, the lack of raw materials, which is very bad, the raw materials are not there, so it's a fart, go home and wash and sleep.

Second, there is a lack of corresponding craftsmen.

Chen Fei just knows how to make this paper, but it is obviously impractical for you to ask him to go into battle to tinker with these things, what kind of thing can Chen Fei, a man with thin arms and legs, make? The materials given to him were also ruined by him.

So Chen Fei is very bad now, feeling that he has a treasure mountain but he doesn't know how to dig it, and he feels that he is losing money every day that goes on like this, and he can lose tens of thousands of dollars a day.

Unconsciously, Chen Fei had already walked into the county office, and when he was looking down and tangling with papermaking, he suddenly hit something in his head, and when he looked up, Cheng Yanjin was staring at him.

"Okay, you little baby, you don't even look at the road when you walk, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's good mood today, I would have to hang you up and smoke it."

"Grandpa Guo forgives the sin, the kid didn't wake up, he is still sleepy, please forgive Grandpa Guo." In order to increase his credibility, Chen Fei yawned at the right time.

"Okay, Lao Tzu is not a person with little energy, and he doesn't care about you little doll. Let me ask you, if you can compose poetry, can you read and write? ”

"Yes."

"Does it count?"

"Will... Yes. ”

"Great, Lao Tzu's subordinates are full of vulgar martial artists, it's okay to let them go into battle to fight and kill the enemy, but let them read and write one by one, the little baby came just right, Lao Tzu is worried that he can't be busy alone, and these accounts will be handed over to you."

Before Chen Fei could react, there were four more books in his arms, and when he opened them, he saw that they were the financial accountants of Zhaoying County.

"Grandpa Guo, this..."

"What is this? The accounts are handed over to you, but don't let me down, I still have a lot of things to do, you settle the accounts well, and if you miscalculate, you will be drawn if you are wrong. ”

Cheng Yanjin stuffed the account book to Chen Fei and ran away as if fleeing, leaving Chen Fei alone to cry without tears.

It can be seen that Cheng Yanjin's mathematical level should not be very good, otherwise he would not see the ledger as if he had seen a ghost.

Forget it, settle the accounts, Chen Fei still knew a lot about the accounts in his previous life, how to make fake accounts...... Ahem, I said that I missed my mouth, in short, it is not a big problem to let Chen Fei settle an account.

Chen Fei sighed, first put the account on the table, lit half a mosquito coil in the corner of the table, and then picked up the pen and opened the account......

For a second... Two seconds... Three seconds...

A drop of ink fell on the paper, and Chen Fei was still stunned.

"It's... What is this TM? Is this an account? What do you remember all the mess? ”

The previous page of the account that Chen Fei opened was divided into four lines and divided into five areas, which was normal, and what was not normal was what was recorded in these five areas, and Chen Fei couldn't understand it.

For example, in the first area, it is written "two catties of pork".

"Two pounds? Two pounds of your sister! The devil knows how much two catties of pork cost! Is there any such a bookkeeping? Chen Fei scolded his mother excitedly.

Let's look at the second area, "Rice Ten".

Chen Fei cried and fainted in the account room.

What's more? Chen Fei flipped through several pages in a row, and it was roughly like this, the accounts did not clearly indicate whether it was expenditure or income, and the amount of money spent on many things was not indicated, only the last corner of the page recorded a number.

Chen Fei called the little official who used to manage the account room and asked for a long time before he understood what was going on with this account book.

The last number on each page represents the income and expenditure of this page, if it is a negative number, it is recorded with a red pen, and a positive number is recorded with a black pen.

It's mostly corruption!

How much is 2 catties of pork? Chen Fei is not very clear, but because this is not clear, they are given space to use.

You can use it as two catties of pork for 50 yuan, or you can use it as 100 yuan, depending on how much money you are greedy.

Anyway, the accounts are not read by others, and it is your freedom to keep them as you want, as long as you are happy.

I don't know who was in charge of this account before, if it was Li County Ling or Zheng County Cheng......

Chen Fei shook his head and didn't think about these things.

After understanding the general way of recording this account, Chen Fei reopened an account book and filled in the accounts with the streamlined accounting method that was more popular in later generations.

And at the bottom of each page, clearly write the addition and subtraction operation formula, and calculate the daily income and expenditure.

The four ledgers recorded a small number of days, but because the memory was too messy and messy, it took Chen Fei a day to sort out all the accounts.

Looking at the final summed up numbers on the ledger, Chen Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The water in Zhaoying County seems to be deeper than he imagined!
