Chapter 12 The Work of the Tang Dynasty. Tent ....
Li Chen immediately told the abbot that he was willing to accept the position of the account clerk, if it was a modern accountant, then it would not be his turn, and he would not agree, that can be troublesome knowledge, you can't cope with this position if you don't study for a few years.
Modern people, even the simplest small company, have a lot of trouble dealing with accounts and money transactions. Even if you go to a vocational school, you have to study for a few years before you can take on some junior accounting jobs.
But if it's the Tang Dynasty,. If there are some large businesses, it may be very troublesome, but Changshou Temple is a temple, and it is nothing more than some work such as income and expenditure, and it is great to manage some fields and income. He felt he could handle it.
"It's great that Thirteen Lang is willing to accept it." Li Chen accepted the position of the account office, and the title of the abbot was also a little kinder, no longer the standard, the more Tan Yue was opened, the more Tan Yue was closed, "Now, it is about to be the time of the autumn income treasury. When I saw my junior brother, I told me that I felt dizzy and dizzy, and I really couldn't hold the position of the accountant anymore, and the poor road was having a headache, but Thirteen Lang did the poor road a great favor."
"Well, so-and-so would like to thank the abbot for giving him a place to live." It seems to have gotten into some weird words, no matter what.
Li Chen thanked the abbot in his heart, and also thanked Wang Erniang, along the way, Wang Erniang was a little rough, but he didn't expect to remember to help him arrange work, so that he would not be displaced.
"Our temple..., Huizhong National Teacher..." , It was determined that Li Chen took over the position of the account, but the abbot did not let Li Chen leave, and talked with Li Chen about some things about the longevity temple.
Huizhong National Master is the Great Zen Master. Li Fan only mentioned it yesterday, and since then he has been trying the Dazheng Zen Master, but fortunately, Li Chen remembered it.
(I said, it shouldn't be yesterday, I have to lead the way to visit, it's actually an exam.) Seeing that the abbot seemed to be very satisfied, Li Chen thought. He said all this yesterday, and the abbot had no reason not to know it.
There is no reason why the abbot is not clear, and seeing the abbot's teachable expression, Li Chen guessed.
Fan took himself to visit the Longevity Temple yesterday, eighty percent of it was deliberately arranged by the abbot, and then if he hadn't been asked to leave today, he would have been caught off guard, and there should have been an assessment first.
Now, although I have hired myself first, if I fail the assessment, I think the abbot will use himself and find someone at the same time. But it looks like there should be no need to worry.
As for why the assessment. It's strange not to be assessed, in modern times, no matter what job you apply for, is there anything that you don't assess? You have to know what this person's heart is like. As for the past history of Changshou Temple, it probably depends on whether Li Chen has any intentions. Anyway, that's what Li Chen thinks.
"Abbot." At this time, there was a knock on the door. "Huikong, please come in." , the door was pushed open, and it was an old monk who came in, the one who saw Li Chen and the second lady when they came the day before yesterday.
"Huikong, sit, this Li Shisanlang. I'm going to ask Jusan Lang to take over as the bookkeeper.'" "Amitabha, Li Tanyue, poor Dao Huikong, and then the position of the tent of our temple, please also ask Tanyue to do his best." "How dare you, you must do it with your heart." , people are polite, Li Chen also hurriedly returned the salute, but why didn't the monks of the Tang Dynasty say that the old man and the poor monk were all poor one by one?
"Thirteen Lang, this is Zen Master Huikong, my senior brother, who originally served as the tent of the temple, but the senior brother is now old, his eyes are dizzy, and he always feels that his back hurts, and he is really unable to serve as a tent. Then the affairs of the tent will be handed over to you.
"Huikong, you can take Thirteen Lang to the account room, now that the autumn harvest is coming again, don't hurry up and hand over the accounts, the autumn harvest will not be good to count at that time." This is a send-off, so Zen Master Huikong took Li Chen out of the house.
On the way to the tent, Li Chen was in a good mood, and he was going to carry two steamed buns to find another way out. But the peaks and loops turned, the willows and flowers were bright, and now there was no need to go, Li Chen was much easier.
"I wonder how old the master is this year?" Li Chen didn't have anything to say, "Poor Dao this year, fifty out of sixty. It is a shame to say that the poor road is not as good as the abbot today, but his legs and feet are weak, and his old eyes are dizzy."
"Isn't the master a senior brother?" "Hehe, Poor Dao just started earlier than the abbot. The abbot and I are both disciples of the Zen Master of Yuanyuan, and the Zen Master of Tanyuan is under the guidance of the Great Zen Master."
"Before the death of the Great Zen Master, even if he told the Tanyuan Zen Master, thirty years after his death, when a novice from the south came, he should be greatly revived and taught. It's the abbot.'" So powerful, Li Chen was shocked, so strong, thirty years later, did he just guess it?
It was not far from the abbot's residence to the tent, and it didn't take long for the two of them to arrive, and Li Chen didn't think about whether this was just blind, or if it was really so powerful. However, he thought that if this was the case, the current abbot, Master Hui Lone, could be regarded as a disciple of the eighth generation of Zen Buddhism.
Li Chen doesn't know much about Buddhism, but he also knows that some of the evolutions of Buddhism after it was introduced to China seem to have evolved from Theravada Buddhism to Mahayana, and then Zen Buddhism. In the end, it flourished like Zen Buddhism.
Zen Buddhism seems to have started with the six ancestors Huineng, which is a split in Buddhism, Buddhism is divided into two sects, the north sect Shenxiu, and the south sect Huineng. And the Southern sect is Zen Buddhism. What is Zen Buddhism, Li Chen doesn't know much about it, it seems to pay attention to epiphany. Later, in later generations, Zen Buddhism seemed to become a psychiatrist, and many intellectuals, unhappy or disappointed in their careers, would suddenly enter the empty door and seek liberation.
But none of this is his business anymore, and he has to work now, which is to straighten out the account books that are full of pits and valleys.
As soon as the door of the tent was opened, Li Chen's head was a little big, and the account books were full of pits and valleys, although he had prepared the account of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, he saw that it was still a little big, which was too much.
As if he knew what Li Chen meant, Huikong smiled and said, "If you want to be free in the world, you can sort it out slowly."
"This is the main book this year." He picked up an account book and handed it to Li Chen, "This is this year's account book, it will be collected in the autumn soon, there are many temple properties in this temple, the court has given it, and the believers donate it, these must be sorted out."
Li Chen took the account book and breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he sorted out this year's gains, the work would be much easier. He couldn't wait to open the book. He was desperate for one thing.
"Huichang for one year. Is this the year of Huichang?' "Yes, last year, the saint died, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the year name is Huichang. This year is the year of Hoichang.'" Huikong replied.
Li Chen finally knew that this year was that year, but he really hadn't heard of this Huichang year. After he was reborn, he came and went in a hurry, and he didn't know what year this year was, the second lady and the boatman only knew that the dragon returned to heaven last year, and as for the new year, he didn't know, and now, he finally figured it out.
Figuring out the rules and figuring out the rules is, at most, knowing what year it is. It didn't help him much. Don't say pretending to be a prophet emperor, he hasn't even heard of this Huichang year. He has always felt that these emperors are very annoying, can't they use the same era name from the founding of the country to the destruction of the country?
How convenient it is for people to spend a few years, a few years, all the way down. It is much more troublesome for China to get an era name, and an era name for an emperor is basically a name.
The basic meaning is that there will be changes, many emperors are happy today to change the year name, the emperor of that dynasty he doesn't remember, anyway, it seems that he has not been in power for long, the year name has changed several, it seems that the year name has been changed, it will be smooth, the country and the people are safe. If only it were that good.
However, Li Chen is now so busy fighting with the ledger that he doesn't have time to think about things related to those era names. The account book of the Tang people is really like a running account. Records have to be made one by one, and the expenditure and income are all mixed together.
It seems that the Tang Dynasty did not have a better accounting method than teaching, but most people did not know it, and the scope of application was not wide. This is the easiest way to apply journal records. Just keep track of every expenditure and income. If it weren't for that, Li Chen wouldn't dare to agree. It's just that the record is brief, which means that it is difficult to read.
"I'm fainting, this won't work." , Li Chen spread out on the chair, in the account room, there are all account books, on several shelves, there are dozens of account books, and there is a flowing account book in the way of recording the flowing water, how can it become flowing water if there is not enough?
Seeing the thick stack of account books in front of the table, Li Chen shook his head, "No, I have to think of a way, otherwise this job won't last for a few years, and soon I should be dizzy and ready to retire."
Just do it, Li Chen didn't look at the account book anymore, and began to think about what he should do.
