Li Xiu decided to take the family to Luoyang for a visit, and by the way, Princess Pingyang could accompany the eldest princess of Tong'an to find her long-lost relatives, although Li Xiu did not have much hope for this matter, but it could be regarded as a wish of Princess Pingyang and the eldest princess of Tong'an. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In her words, it is about to be the end of the year, and the tea business in Luoyang also needs someone to check the accounts, so she and Yuechan will go to see with their own eyes how their business is developing in Luoyang, so as not to be blinded by the people below!

The family of three agreed, so Li Xiu's family immediately began to prepare, Princess Pingyang also went to the eldest princess of Tong'an, telling her that she hoped to accompany her to Luoyang, but the eldest princess of Tong'an was also very happy, she had no son, and her only daughter was missing, it can be said that the closest people are only Princess Pingyang and Li Shimin, these nephews and nieces, and now Princess Pingyang is willing to accompany her, she is naturally very happy.

After a few days of preparation, Li Xiu's family left Chang'an with the eldest princess of Tong'an, and Li Xiu also saw the eldest princess of Tong'an for the first time, speaking of which, the eldest princess of Tong'an is still Li Yuan's sister, but perhaps because of the unhappiness of the heirs, she looks older than Li Yuan, her hair is all white, but her face is very kind, and she looks like a very kind old lady.

The eldest princess of Tong'an was also very cordial when she saw Li Xiu, and when she saw Jin'er, she snatched it and held it in her arms and didn't let go, and the snacks and fruits prepared in the car were eaten by Jin'er at will, which shows her love for children, but unfortunately she is destined to have no children, maybe this is also the reason why she has a bad relationship with Wang Renbiao, after all, how can the nominal son be compared with the biological one, not to mention that she has never been able to give birth to a son, and she naturally has no good face for Wang Renbiao.

Li Xiu chatted with the eldest princess of Tong'an for a few words, and then said goodbye and left, after all, Princess Pingyang is there, and there is no need for him to accompany him here, and he left, Princess Pingyang and her can chat about themselves, and he is uncomfortable with him.

At that moment, Li Xiu returned to Yi Niang's carriage, only to see Yi Niang and Yue Chan were pulling the calculations, it seemed that they were preparing to go to Luoyang to check the accounts, but seeing their laborious appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but pouted and said: "Don't use this calculation chip, wait until you come back from Luoyang, I will make an abacus for you, and the accounting of that thing is called fast!" ”

"Husband, don't just talk about it, I've heard you mention that abacus several times, but now I haven't even seen a shadow!" When Yi Niang heard this, she was white, and Li Xiu glanced at her.

"Huh? Yes, I have talked to you about the abacus before? Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, sometimes he talked too much, and he really couldn't remember what he might have said before.

"Giggle~, the master recently mentioned the abacus, it was a year ago, and I also saw my wife and I settling accounts, but there was no news after the master mentioned it!" At this moment, Yuechan also covered her mouth and smiled, in fact, Li Xiu has always done what he says, but sometimes he seems to be lost, and he doesn't remember what he said.

"This ...... Hehe, my memory is not very good, but this time it must be true, I will tell you the principle of the abacus, so that even if I forget it this time, you can also let the craftsmen at home make it, which is definitely better than your calculation! Li Xiu scratched his head a little embarrassed when he heard this, and smiled.

"That's great, when my husband first mentioned the abacus to me, he praised this abacus to the sky, and now I finally want to see what the abacus looks like?" Yi Niang couldn't help but smile happily when she heard this.

As he said, Li Xiu took a pen and paper at the moment, then drew the abacus on the paper, and began to explain the algorithm of the abacus to them.

Don't look at the abacus of later generations has almost been eliminated, but when Li Xiu was in elementary school, in fact, the school was still teaching abacus, presumably many post-80s have the same experience, when the teacher in elementary school also let him bring his own abacus, the small shop next to the school sells that kind of exquisite abacus, but Li Xiu's family is poor, and he still uses the big abacus that his grandfather used to sell things, which is made of real red jujube wood, very strong, and can be used as a skateboard to play on the ground.

It is precisely because he learned abacus when he was a child, so Li Xiu still has some basic understanding of abacus, at least there is no problem with popularizing the principles and algorithms of abacus for Yi Niang, but if he is allowed to actually operate, maybe it is not as fast as his mental arithmetic, after all, abacus also needs to be practiced, this is like computer typing, just pinyin is just able to type, if you want to type fast, you must go through a period of practice.

Yi Niang and Yuechan are both people who often settle accounts, and the family's industry is getting bigger and bigger, and the calculations on the accounts are naturally becoming more and more complicated, so they usually can't do without the abacus, but now after hearing Li Xiu's explanation of the abacus, the eyes of the two are getting brighter and brighter, not to mention anything else, the algorithm of the abacus alone is much more convenient and simple than the abacus, if you are proficient, it will definitely make the accounting easier.

"This abacus is really a good thing, when I get to Luoyang, I will let people call a few pairs, and then Yuechan and I will use it first, if it is easy to use, maybe it can be used as a business!" After hearing this, Yi Niang immediately clapped her head.

"The tea business is not enough for you to toss? What is there to make money in such a small business? Li Xiu couldn't laugh when he heard Yi Niang's words, since Yi Niang started to manage the family's business, it seems that he is getting more and more into the eyes of money.

"No matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, and the husband is a master of arithmetic today, and the officials in the court have to read the master's "Li Gongzi Arithmetic", so after this abacus is made, and then in the name of the master, it will definitely be vigorously promoted, so that the demand for abacus must be great, if we don't do such a good business, wouldn't it be cheaper for others?" Yi Niang said with a natural face, her idea is very simple, her background is not as good as Princess Pingyang, so she can only make up for her son in money.

Hearing Yi Niang say this, Li Xiu had to shake his head helplessly again, he understood Yi Niang's thoughts, but he didn't bother to care, after all, no one had a little bit of care, and although Yi Niang was strong, the relationship with Princess Pingyang was very good, and the family was also very harmonious, which was enough.

Chang'an to Luoyang is not too far, and the official road is also very smooth and smooth, so after a few days, the walls of Luoyang City are far away.
