Chapter 27: Tracking
For what happened to the victims this time, Xiao Mo didn't know the specific situation, so he just tried to find a way to resettle the victims, and after adding this item to the plan, Xiao Mo also relaxed, and then lay on the table, wanting to take a rest.
Unconsciously thought of Hu Yunxue, I don't know what this goddess doctor is doing now, Xiao Mo smiled knowingly, and then shouted, Zhou Kui came in response and pushed Xiao Mo to his own public house.
Lin Changzhi and Du Zongshu were still counting all kinds of file files, while Lin Yiye and Jiao Yunwen were checking the household policies and account books, Xiao Mo nodded, came to Lin Yiye's side, and saw that the account books were densely filled with words, and couldn't help frowning: "Why is it so cumbersome, checking accounts like this, when will you find out?" ”
Lin Yiye thought to himself: Auditing is a cumbersome matter, of course, it must be checked carefully.
In Changle Town before, Lin Yiye also helped the family check the accounts, so he took it for granted, but Xiao Mo didn't think so, thought about it, and finally called everyone over.
"There are many ways to audit, the important thing is the result, of course, the process also needs to be careful, so let's teach you a method, but first, we need to prepare an abacus, one for each person!"
The abacus has appeared in the late Han Dynasty, but the method used has some defects, hearing Xiao Mo's words, the four household officials went around to borrow it, and then prepared an abacus by hand, and then listened to Xiao Mo's instructions.
Xiao Mo thought about it, then found a pen and paper and wrote on the paper.
At this time, many officials in the west chamber of the county yamen also heard that the new master of the department wanted to teach everyone how to check the accounts, and they were a little curious, especially Du Teng, because something happened to the victims, so Li Ji and the chief bookkeeper Lu Lu were no longer in the county office, although Qin Ye was in charge of the yamen, but in the public house, Du Teng was still needed to preside over the work, so he also stayed.
Hearing that Xiao Mo was going to teach the officials in the yamen to check the accounts as soon as he came, Du Teng smiled, and took all the officials to the house, and saw that Xiao Mo was writing with his head down, Du Teng did not bother, but took a look from a distance, and saw that Xiao Mo's handwriting was beautiful, and the font was as thin as a hand tendon, which was very attractive, so he was fascinated by three points, and saw many numbers written on the paper, and couldn't help but read it softly: "One by one, one by one, five to four, one to nine, two to nine, two to two, two to five, two to eight, into one......"
It was catchy to read, but I still didn't understand it, and it happened that Xiao Mo had also written all the addition and subtraction formulas of the abacus, and when he saw that Du Teng was also here, he hugged his fists and said, "Why did Shaofu come over?" ”
Du Teng was pondering the mantra written by Xiao Mo, so he didn't have a polite conversation with Xiao Mo, and asked directly: "Ziheng, these mantras are used to check accounts?" ”
Xiao Mo shook his head, then glanced at everyone, and saw that the officials of the various houses were basically here, so he took an abacus, and then fiddled with it, still reciting the mantra he had just written.
Finding the formula, Xiao Mo fiddled with the abacus, and everyone suddenly realized that Xiao Mo was telling everyone how to use the abacus, and after fiddling it, Xiao Mo wrote some strange symbols on it.
Du Teng's brain couldn't accept it, so he asked, "Ziheng, what are these?" How is it round and vertical? ”
Xiao Mo pointed to the Arabic numerals on the paper and said, "This is called a number, the oval one, it is zero, and then it is one, two, three, four...... These numbers are easy to write, and easy to remember, such as eleven, you only need to write two one together, it looks like two verticals, not only that, one hundred and eleven, but also only need to write three verticals, very convenient, so that the audit is much more convenient! ”
Maybe Xiao Mo didn't say it very clearly, everyone looked at those numbers, and couldn't turn a corner for a while, and Xiao Mo temporarily became a math teacher, and taught everyone again, listing all the numbers from zero to ten, as well as thousands, hundreds, and thousands on the paper one by one, everyone understood something, but they all fell into contemplation, looking at the numbers on the paper and being silent, Xiao Mo saw it, knowing that these people might need a certain amount of time to accept something new like Arabic numerals, so they could also think about it, He took advantage of his free time and asked Zhou Kui to push him, went to the study, and went to find Qin Ye.
Since there was a fire among the victims this time, and Li Ji asked him to find a way to resettle them, then Xiao Mo had to go to the victims, I don't know the matter, how can I solve the problem if I just talk about it on paper?
So as soon as Xiao Mo saw Qin Ye, he said his thoughts, Qin Ye nodded, feeling that Xiao Mo was right, if he didn't see the victims with his own eyes, Xiao Mo was only afraid that it would not be easy to settle, after thinking about it, Qin Ye said: "Since Ziheng wants to go and see, of course the old man will not stop him, but for the safety of Ziheng, it is better to bring some catchers, the head catcher Yan Eighteen in the county was taken by the master, but there is also a good catcher, surnamed Zhao, named Guanying, ancestral hometown Yandi, also because his hometown was poisoned by the war, so he fled to this county, Breaking the appreciation of Yan Catcher's head, why don't you let this person protect Ziheng? ”
For Qin Ye's kindness, of course Xiao Mo would not refuse, so he let Zhou Kui push himself, and arrived at the gate of the county office, and after a while, he saw a tall and strong man, about twenty years old, with a clean face, dressed in a fast suit, with a sword hanging from his waist, came to Xiao Mo, and shouted: "Lord Xiao!" ”
Xiao Mo nodded, and saw that although Zhao Guanying was tall and strong, she was not as full of scum as Yan Eighteen, and she looked more comfortable than Yan Eighteen, so he said, "What a Yan Zhao knight!" ”
When Zhao Guanying heard this, she thanked Xiao Mo, and then took Xiao Mo and rushed to the victims.
After walking a short distance, Xiao Mo saw a familiar figure, hurried to the county office, and shouted, "Eighth sister, what are you doing here?" ”
When Yang Yanqi heard Xiao Mo's shout, he trotted over and said to Xiao Mo: "Master, there is a letter from home, and Yu Niang asked me to send it to the master!" ”
"Letters?" Xiao Mo took the letter in Yang Yanqi's hand suspiciously, the envelope seemed to have been opened, Xiao Mo looked at it, there were no words on both sides of the envelope, so he pulled out the paper inside, and then saw a row of Juanxiu's handwriting.
The letter was written by Hu Yunxue, saying that he wanted Xiao Mo to help in the county and find a place, and the father and daughter wanted to come to the county town to open a pharmacy. Of course, Hu Yunxue also asked about Xiao Mo's recent situation in the letter, and hoped that Xiao Mo would reply as soon as possible......
I was still thinking about this Nizi just now, but I didn't expect Hu Yunxue's letter to be delivered, it seems that it is really that...... I have a good heart, cough cough......
Xiao Mo quietly put away the letter, then beckoned to Yang Yanqi and asked softly, "This letter...... Yu Niang has also seen it? ”
Yang Yanqi's face seemed to be a little dissatisfied, he glanced at Xiao Mo and didn't speak, only left Xiao Mo with a back, and left by himself.
Belch...... Xiao Mo touched a nail, so he had no choice but to continue to set off outside the city.
However, at this time, Zhao Guanying suddenly whispered in Xiao Mo's ear: "Lord Xiao, your maid has been followed, do you want to ......?"
Xiao Mo was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Brother Zhao, how do you say this?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Guanying pointed to the direction in which Yang Yanqi left, and at this time, Xiao Mo and Zhou Kui also saw that there was indeed a man, who did not seem to mean it, and followed Yang Yanqi.
There are many people walking on the street, and it is normal for someone to follow behind, but Zhao Guanying said: "This person has been wandering at the mouth of the alley before, his eyes are wandering, but he looks at us from time to time, which is very suspicious!" ”
Zhao Guanying is a person who works in the public gate, and he usually has to protect the safety of some people, so he is very vigilant, hearing Zhao Guanying's words, Xiao Mo frowned, and said to Zhou Kui: "Brother Zhou, you go up and have a look!" ”
I came to the county seat, this is the first day I took office, and I didn't grudge with others, as for Yang Yanqi, it's even more impossible, a girl who has been pretending to be a ghost for so long, who else cares?
But since Yang Yanqi was followed, Xiao Mo had to be cautious.
