"Brother Wheat, have you eaten enough? I've been hungry every day since I can remember, and I've never eaten enough. When the two had finished eating, they sat down on the floor and began to chat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Full?" Wang Mai was stunned for a moment, he didn't know how to answer this question, because in his time, almost no one worried about this question.

"My mother said that I was born poor, and how much food I had at home was not enough for me to eat. Eating so much, apart from having a strong arm, there is no other advantage......" Fugui muttered to himself.

"If you only eat food every day, you must not be full, at least there should be some oil and water, and it would be better to eat some meat at every meal." Wang Mai thought for a while and said.

"Meat ......" Fugui swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "During the Chinese New Year this year, my mother cut a piece of meat from the city, and I almost swallowed my tongue. I'm looking forward to the New Year every day now, so that I can have meat to eat. ”

A tall man of 1.9 meters looks forward to the New Year every day like a child, Wang Mai couldn't help but feel a little funny, but before he could laugh out loud, he was sad again. If Fugui can be born in the next life, he will definitely be a basketball genius who has been robbed by major sports schools, but he was born now, a poor rural family, and his biggest wish is to eat a little meat during the New Year.

"Rich." Wang Mai stretched out his hand and touched his head, "I thought of a way to get rich today, and when the harvest is finished after the autumn, let's work hard, and let you eat meat every day, okay?" ”

"Really? Brother Wheat, you didn't lie to me, did you? Fugui stared at him with big eyes.

"Of course not, you just wait to eat meat every day." Wang Mai thought of his honeycomb coal plan to get rich, full of confidence.

"Okay, then let's pull the hook."

While the two were chatting, the pavilion chief came back, explained to everyone, and led everyone to the direction of the granary in the west of the city.

Licheng warehouse is the largest warehouse in Qi County, with a total of more than 20 cellars, each cellar can store 5,000 stones of grain, and the maximum stock reaches 100,000 stones. The granaries of the Sui Dynasty were mostly built outside the main city, although this arrangement saved the space in the main city, but it was also very easy to lose. Today's leader of the Wagang Army, Wei Gong Li Mi, attacked Xingluocang, which is known as the first warehouse in the world, and only then did he have the capital to chase the Central Plains.

In the early years, when the Sui general Zhang Xutuo was stationed in Qi County, he attached great importance to the grain storage of Lichengcang, and later Zhang Xutuo was defeated by the Wagang army, and Lichengcang naturally fell into the hands of the Wagang army. However, the Wagang army had one of the largest granaries such as Xingluocang and Huiluocang, but they did not take Lichengcang seriously, so they did not use the grain storage here. In addition, in the past two years, the Wagang army has grown, Qi County has been less affected by the war, and the grain output has increased a lot compared with previous years.

A group of thousands of people came to the outside of the Licheng warehouse, and the pavilion chief did a good job of dividing labor for everyone, and said a few words to everyone, and left Wang Mai alone.

"Who's ......" The pavilion chief just spoke, but found that he didn't know the other party's name.

"My name is Wang Mai." Wang Mai hurriedly introduced himself.

"You are the grandson of the old lady Wang, you should be literate and literate."

After receiving Wang Mai's affirmative answer, the pavilion chief took out a paper and pen from his arms and handed them to him, "The old man is old and his eyes are not good, and now it is night, so you can record the accounts of the pavilion on behalf of the old man." ”

"Thank you, Master Ting, for your kindness."

When the door of the cellar is opened, there is a steady flow of grain into a cylindrical container, which is Hu. Sui and Tang Dynasty weights and measures, one Hu is equal to one stone, about equal to the current one hundred and twenty catties. The two people put the grain in the hut into a sack, and then someone carried it to the outside of the warehouse to load the truck, and every time the car was full, they set off to Luokou Wharf to load the ship. This night, the vehicles from Licheng to Luokou Wharf were constantly coming and going, so that until dawn, nearly 100,000 stone of grain was transported away.

Wang Mai yawned, and although he did not do physical work after a night's work, he was extremely mentally exhausted. However, the task was finally completed quickly, and I was able to go home in time for dinner.

"It's been a hard night." The pavilion chief took out a still hot oil cake from his bosom and handed it to him.

"Thank you, Lady Ting." Wang Mai couldn't be polite, he was busy all night, he was already tired and hungry. Tear off half of it and wrap it in a burlap bag, which is reserved for Fugui, so he can't wait to nibble on the other half of the oil cake.

The pavilion chief on the side of "Huh......" looked at the accounts and made a surprised voice, "Wang Mai, why can't I understand the accounts you remember?" ”

"Hmm......" Wang Mai swallowed a big mouthful of oil cake, wiped his hand on the linen cloth twice, pointed to the account book and said: "I was so busy last night that I forgot to tell the adults, the number I used is a counting method invented by the Tianzhu people." Corresponding to my Chinese one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ......," he explained the correspondence of the numbers to the pavilion chief one by one. Under the busyness of last night, Wang Mai forgot for a moment that there were no Arabic numerals at this time, and when he came back to the aftertaste, most of the accounts had already been recorded, so he had no time to change them, so he had already prepared a set of rhetoric. “…… This counting method is relatively simple and fast, and it is easy to calculate. Wang Mai finally concluded.

"Oh, Wang Gongzi is talented, worthy of being the old lady Wang's relatives......" The ancient people were courteous to scholars, this pavilion chief originally thought that Wang Mai only knew a few words, but he didn't expect his learning to be so originated, and the title changed from calling his name to Gongzi, "It's just ......" the pavilion chief said with a difficult face.

"If you have any difficulties, you might as well say it directly."

The old man said bluntly, please don't blame the son. Now that the time is urgent, it must be too late to copy an account again, and I asked the tired boy to go to the dock with the old man to explain. ”

"This is natural, and it's causing trouble for the Pavilion Lord." Wang Xiaomei said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter."

After finishing everything, the two of them hurried hand in hand in the direction of Luokou Wharf.

On the way, he met Fugui who came back from the dock, Wang Mai took out half of the oil cake in his arms and handed it to Fugui, Fugui nibbled on the oil cake, and returned to the dock with the two.

"This ......" Gong Cao's face was embarrassed, "please forgive me for being lonely and unheard, I really don't know that there are such words in the world." The three of them hurried for nearly an hour, and finally came to the dock and found Gong Cao, who was in charge of the accounts, but Gong Cao had never seen such words.

"Well," Gong Cao spoke, "Lord Bookkeeper is well-informed, and may know, so you will come with me to see Lord Bookkeeper." Wang Maixin said not to mention the main book, even the emperor Lao Tzu did not know, and now there is only one person in the whole of China who knows this kind of writing, and there is no other semicolon. However, he couldn't explain that he knew these words because more than a thousand years from now everyone would know them, and now he could only act on the spot, hoping to fool the master book.

Several people went around and around, and finally found the master bookkeeper who was talking to a military man in the crowd. The master of the master was a thin middle-aged man, nothing unusual, but the military man who spoke to the master of the book was dressed in black armor, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, but he was majestic.

Gong Cao asked a few people to wait on the side, he walked to the main book himself, whispered, and then waved his hand at Wang Mai and the others, signaling them to come over.

The three of them saluted the master of the book, and Gong Cao presented the account book in Wang Mai's hand to the master bookkeeper.

The master bookkeeper took the ledger, opened it and looked surprised, and after turning a few pages, he shook his head: "I have never recognized such strange characters. He suddenly turned around and handed the ledger to the military man next to him with both hands, "By the way, General Qin's family history, I don't know if you have ever recognized these characters?" ”

"I'm a rough man, I only know how to dance with guns and sticks, and I don't even know the master bookkeeper, how can I get an axe in the class." As soon as the military man opened his mouth, he spoke in an authentic Jeju dialect, but having said that, he still took the account book and flipped it up. Sure enough, he also flipped through the account book for a while, then closed the account book and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

The master bookkeeper glanced at himself, and Wang Mai knew that it was time for him to explain.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the unique ......script of a country called Tianzhu in the southwest of my Central Plains," Wang Mai said again the origin of Arabic numerals.

"Since it's not my Central Plains script, how do you recognize it?" The master asked.

"When the villain was traveling in his early years, he met a Hu businessman, and I saw that his way of keeping accounts was very special, and he used this kind of writing, so I learned it from him." So far, Wang Mai can only be made up and sold.

"Since you alone know this ledger, how do we know that you are not obstructing it?" The soldier suddenly turned around and asked.

Only then did Wang Mai see the appearance of the military man clearly, this person was less than thirty years old, with a high nose and big eyes, thick eyebrows and thin lips, and a short beard between the chins, which added a bit of masculinity to him, and he was handsome and extraordinary in four words. Wang Mai saw this person and knew that it turned out that men also have the face of an angel and the figure of a devil, and it would be a pity if this person was not a model in the future life.

"General Qin is asking you something, hurry up and answer." Seeing Wang Mai staring at the soldier so unreasonably, the master bookkeeper was suddenly a little annoyed.

"General Qin?" Wang Mai's heart moved when he heard the title of the master bookkeeper for him, could it be that person? It can't be such a coincidence, right?

"Yes, this is the hussar general under the secret account of Duke Wei and Li Mi, General Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao......"

"You are Qin Qiong?" Wang Mai almost jumped when he heard the words of the master bookkeeper. His mind kept flashing the image of Qin Qiong in the romance novel, the five tiger generals of Wagangzhai, the thirteen Taibao under the backer king Yang Lin, and the people of the rivers and lakes gave the nickname "Xiao Mengwei", so that a pair of gilded heavy gongs, unparalleled righteousness, inserted a knife in the ribs for friends, and formed the left and right door gods with Yu Chigong, for thousands of years, for countless Chinese families to dispel evil and take refuge, conscientious......

"Rude, even calling General Qin's name......"

Labor and management saw the real person, labor and management saw Qin Qiong, Wang Mai kept shouting "......" in his heart, ignoring the scolding of the master on the side, and his soul wandered out of the world.
