Unknowingly, it has been seven days since Lu Heng went to the palace on an errand. Today is the day of payroll.

Three days later, the family came to collect the ledger once, and then sent a lot of it. This time there are more ledgers than last time, maybe it was just a practice last time, but this time it is the beginning of work.

However, even three or four more ledgers. It only took Lu Heng an afternoon to sort out all the ledgers.

Then, the remaining three days were spent reading, practicing calligraphy, and being in a daze.

Today's weather was a little cloudy, and the light in the room was insufficient, Lu Heng looked at it for a while and threw the worn-out Analects aside, then took out a few sweet potatoes from the cloth bag he carried, threw them into the stove, and waited for a while to eat roasted sweet potatoes.

After a while, the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes filled the room. Then, it floated out of the room and filled the courtyard.

In the other rooms, Zhang Fangmen, who was desperately rushing to work, was already hungry, and after smelling this fragrance, he was even more hungry. raised his head, sniffed the sweet fragrance deeply, and secretly cursed, this person lacked morality, and then continued to work with his head.

In the spacious room in the middle of the courtyard, Manager Fang sat upright at the table, pointing to the open account book on the table in a low voice, talking about the questions above.

Opposite him sat a twenty-year-old woman, at this time, this woman sat at the table, two slender white hands, neatly fiddling with the abacus in front of her. Occasionally, listening to Manager Fang talk about the problems or mistakes that appeared above, Dai frowned slightly, and then shook his head, asking Manager Fang to change and continue to settle accounts.

This woman is Lord Wang's daughter, a famous talented woman in Jiangning, Wang Tingzhi. In this era of emphasizing women's lack of talent and virtue, Wang Tingzhi is particularly incompatible. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but if she were to speak for herself, she would definitely prefer arithmetic. To say that it is not modest to say, the best one in the palace who makes the abacus is this Miss Wang. When the bookkeepers talked about the eldest lady's arithmetic skills, they showed a look of admiration and admiration.

After a burst of crackling, Wang Tingzhi shook her somewhat sore wrist, her slightly frowning brows finally stretched, and she smiled softly: "It's finally the right one, these new accounts this year still need to be honed!" ”

Manager Fang nodded thoughtfully, he had read it just now, and the result was extremely big. There were several rooms of ledgers that came out, and they all remembered that they were messy. One of them has passed the second review.

Manager Fang took the last account book, and after looking at it, his face changed slightly, and he sighed in surprise: "This account book ......"

When Miss Wang saw Mr. Fang's slightly frowning brows, she thought that the last one was the worst. smiled quietly, and said lightly: "How can I say that this is also the last one, Uncle Fang doesn't have to worry about it!" ”

Manager Fang shook his head, handed over the account book and said, "No, I mean that this account book is true, this method of bookkeeping is unheard of." However, it is clear at a glance! ”

Miss Wang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took the account book and opened it. The further back you turn, the brighter the brilliance in your beautiful eyes becomes.

This last ledger actually took a different way of accounting than everyone else. The ledger is drawn with a neat box, and in the small grid in the box, the handsome small block is clearly written in the purchase, sale and inventory of each cloth store in a year, and in the last column of the grid, the total number of silver coins of each cloth house is clearly marked, and in the last few pages, the total number of boxes in the first dozens of pages is counted. In the small basket on the last page, a few lines of small letters clearly indicate the number of all the incoming, outgoing, and inventory of all cloth shops in the Liangguang area this year, as well as the final surplus.

As if she had discovered a treasure, Miss Wang looked through this thin account book several times before asking with a happy face: "Which account office made this?" ”

Manager Fang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Miss, wait a minute, wait until I call Li Er, who is moving the account book, to ask!" ”

Manager Fang got up from the chair, walked to the door step by step, and stood at the door and shouted the name of a family member: "Li Er, come here!" ”

After a while, a black and thin family member walked in behind Manager Fang.

After seeing the eldest lady, he hurriedly bent down and saluted: "The slave has seen the eldest lady!" What does the eldest lady command! ”

Wang Tingzhi nodded slightly, handed the thin account book in her hand to Manager Fang, and asked lightly: "Li Er, take a good look, this account book is made by that account room?" ”

Li Er hurriedly took the account book from Manager Fang and glanced at it, and after returning the account book to Manager Fang, he didn't think about it, and said directly: "Answer Miss's words, the slave remembers that this account book was made by Mr. in Room No. 4!" ”

"Room Four? Are you not mistaken? Manager Fang was stunned for a moment, and then asked with an incredulous expression,

Looks like the guy in room 4 hasn't been here for a few days? I heard that I used to be a nerd, how could I have such a ability?

Li Er nodded and said affirmatively: "If you go back to the manager, it must have been done by the gentleman in room four." At that time, the slave remembered very well that the account books of the gentlemen in the other rooms were all thick stacks, but the gentlemen in room four only had a thin one. At that time, the subordinates were still muttering in their hearts, could it be that the gentleman in room No. 4 was mistaken! ”

Manager Fang's complicated face was full of surprise and dismay, he opened the account book and read it again, and the joy in his eyes became even stronger. It wasn't until Li Er called the chief manager twice in a row that he reacted.

Waving his hand, he took out a tael of silver from his pocket and threw it to Li Er: "Okay, Li Er has nothing to do with you here, you go out first." Remember, do your job! ”

Li Er hurriedly accepted the money, and happily said Miss Xie, and after Xie Fang was in charge, he trotted all the way out of the room.

Wang Tingzhi looked at the ever-changing look on Manager Fang's fat face, and said softly and puzzledly: "Uncle Fang, who is the account room in room No. 4?" Did he work there before? ”

As she spoke, Wang Tingzhi took the account book from Manager Fang's hand again, looked through it, and after closing the account book, she sighed, full of sighs: "As Uncle Fang said, this kind of bookkeeping technique has never been seen or heard of." However, it is clear at a glance! This person is really a talent! ”

Manager Fang laughed, told him what he had inquired about Lu Heng, and finally said with a smile: "The comments that my subordinates heard about him basically say that this person is a nerd who reads dead books, and since he became famous for his talent three years ago, he has not made any progress in learning!" This person's surname is Gemune, and he is not usually good at communicating with people. And this Lu Heng seems to be a little high, if it weren't for the poverty of his family, he would definitely not come out to work. ”

After picking up the account book, Manager Fang took a sip of the teacup and said, "Moreover, the errand of this account room was begged for by his widow and sister-in-law!" ”

After Wang Tingzhi heard this, she didn't laugh. She thought to herself, could such a clear and accurate ledger be written by a nerd? Moreover, it is said that people are like words. Looking at the handsome style of Xiaokai on this ledger, how can its owner be a nerd who is dead reading?

Also, how did he calculate these complex accounts so accurately? Didn't even get a single number wrong? I have studied arithmetic for many years, and I can't do this in the face of such a complex and complicated accounting. How could he, a scholar who only read the Four Books and the Five Classics, be so proficient in arithmetic?

After Wang Tingzhi thought about it, she turned her head and smiled: "Uncle Fang, after work, you let this Lu Heng stay?" I want to meet him! ”
