"My daughter won't mess around." The little girl is a little girl with a small mouth and a high mouth. seemed to be very dissatisfied with the fact that the father didn't trust him, the father smiled and was about to speak, but he sighed lightly and turned his face to look at Dou Yan.

"Yan'er, why do you smell of blood? Hiss...... Why is there blood on the placket of this garment? The father standing in front of Dou Yan saw the blood stains on Dou Yan's back, and couldn't help but condense his eyebrows, and his expression became nervous. And the mother was so shocked that she stood up from the couch, and walked up and down with Dou Yan in disbelief. "Yan'er, aren't you injured?"

"When the child returned home today, he met the car of Princess Xinyang, and was invited by the princess to accompany him, but I didn't want to, the carriage on the road was frightened, and the child's head knocked on the wall of the car, and it was no big deal." Seeing the second elder's heartfelt concern, Dou Yan could only answer truthfully, but Dou Yan naturally wouldn't say anything about what happened after that, so as not to worry the second elder.

"Come on, quickly order someone to find a doctor...... After seeing the bloody scab on the back of Dou Yan's head, the mother couldn't help but turn pale, and called nervously.

"Mother, no need, it's not a big wound, the child can deal with it himself." Dou Yan hurriedly smiled and said with relief.

"No, you have to let the doctor see it." The mother was very stubborn, and Dou Yan wanted to say more, but she felt a big and generous hand on her arm, and when she looked at it, it was her father. "Listen to your mother's relatives, let the doctor see it." Daddy didn't say much, but it made it difficult for Dou Yan to object, so he had to nod his head.

Fortunately, it didn't take much effort, and a doctor with gray eyebrows had already arrived, gave Dou Yanzi a careful examination, and dealt with the injury on the back of his head by the way, and after confirming that it was only a small injury, his mother's face was slightly better. "That's good, Yan'er, next time you go out, you must bring the people in the house, don't be as careless as today, if something goes wrong with my son, you still don't let my mother live?"

Hearing this, Dou Yan, who was so moved, could only nod his head desperately. It's so fucking nice to feel cared for and loved.

"Uncle Bao, you said that these are our family's account books?" Dou Yan sat in the hall dumbfounded, looking at the two piles that were carried by four men who were five big and three thick in front of him, I was afraid that there was at least four or five hundred catties of bamboo slips, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's right, these are the accounts from last year to this year, the monthly food and clothing in the house, the etiquette of coming and going, the welcome and out, and the workshop industries under the name of the lord, as well as the income and expenditure of our Dou family's households...... "Uncle Bao, who is over forty years old, has a round face and a fat body, and seems to be smiling forever on his face, explained this, and Dou Yan was dizzy and rolled his eyes. The little girl next to her, Dou Zhi, was also blind, her eyes were empty, and it seemed that the brother and sister were frightened by the account book brought by Uncle Bao.

Dou Yan picked up a bamboo slip handed by Uncle Bao, the housekeeper, and spread it out to look at it seriously. Although many small seal characters are still unrecognizable, even if he guesses again, Dou Yan knows a rough idea.

It is precisely because he can understand the account books of this era that Dou Yan, a traveler, can't help but puff out his eyes at the account books of this era. I rely on, what kind of account book is this, it is clearly a thing like a record, a certain year and a certain month, the house is given to the craftsman who came to the house to do things in a certain meter and two stones, a horse of silk, and ten catties of meat and a catty of salt.

"And meat, and salt?" Dou Yan's eyes couldn't help but widen. Dou Yan knew that rice, money, and silk were all trade goods in this era, after all, the Han Dynasty still had a large amount of barter trade circulation. But what about the meat and salt?

"Yes, the craftsman's wages are six hundred yuan, but he is willing not to pay for it, and the rice, grain, salt, meat, and silk cloth, which are discounted, are worth six hundred yuan." Uncle Bao, the housekeeper, explained clearly.

Before he finished reading a roll of bamboo slips, Dou Yan felt that his head was not good, not to mention that many of the things in it were converted into things and rice grain, and the discount was different at each time, for example, in the spring, the discount of rice grain was more expensive, and after the autumn harvest, the discount of rice grain should be more appropriate. There are also things that are exchanged between my father and my friends, sometimes they are objects, sometimes they are wine and food, in a word, in Dou Yan's eyes, the things recorded in this account book are really strange and strange.

"Ancestors, this is even more than a running account, just these things recorded above, if I can figure them all out and then make a balance sheet, then I should be a traverser with an accountant qualification." Dou Yan looked at the contents of the small seal characters that made his scalp tingle, and his heart was constantly slandering.

It took a long time, and Uncle Bao, the housekeeper, also explained next to him that the corners of his mouth were foaming, and Dou Yan roughly figured out the first bamboo slip spread out, and when he raised his head, looking at the bamboo slip in front of him that was as tall as a hill, Dou Yan had a sad and indignant impulse with tears in his eyes, and even wondered if his father was deliberately trying to torture himself, the flower of the motherland, a good son of the Dou family.

"Brother, can we still watch it?" Next to him, Dou Zhi, who was also dizzy, poked Dou Yan with a look of timidity and asked in a low voice.

Yes, Dou Yan is also very worried, look, I'm afraid it's strange that the second fool who doesn't grind himself into a brain collapse, don't you look at it? Then I promised my parents yesterday that I would take on my own obligations at home.

"Isn't there a general ledger for these?" Dou Yan asked after thinking about it.

"General ledger? Oh, there is. Uncle Bao, the housekeeper, didn't dare to slack off, so he took two bundles of bamboo slips from above those bamboo slips and handed them over. Dou Yan looked at it, to the effect that it was how much silk rice and grain the government earned each month, and then how much silk rice and grain was spent every month.

Next to him, Uncle Bao explained: "The general ledger is managed by the lady, because of the master's orders last night, so the old slave also gathered it and put it here." ”

"Oh, it's good to have this thing." Dou Yan looked at the beautiful handwriting on the general ledger, and didn't expect that his mother's calligraphy was quite good, at least much better than himself. With such a general ledger, it is finally possible to know the amount of expenditure and income and expenditure of each month.

After seeing it, Dou Yan couldn't help but secretly speak, this Dou Mansion, which has servants and ladies but more than 40 yuan, has an expenditure of as much as 20,000 yuan per month, but his father's annual salary is only Zhan Shi, who has a rank of 2,000 stones, and the so-called people with a rank of 2,000 stones are approved for officials who get 1,440 stones a year, but they are less than 2,000 stones. And those who are in 2,000 stone mean full, that is to say, the annual income of those officials who are in 2,000 stone is 2,160 stone.

The annual income is only 1,440 yuan, and the current price of goods can be exchanged for about 150 yuan per stone, so that my father's salary is about 216,000 yuan.

However, the house spends at least 20,000 yuan every month, and it is as high as 30,000 to 40,000 yuan during the New Year's holidays. It is equivalent to saying that my father's salary is not enough to support the expenses of the house, of course, plus the fifty or so restaurants located outside Chang'an City that were rewarded in the past year, it is about enough to subsidize the family. As for the occasional reward from Mrs. Dou and the emperor, it is equivalent to an additional bonus, which is kept for emergency use.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, the dignified father with a rank of 2,000 stone not only has to take out all his salary, but also has to rely on the family's land property to support his family, Dou Yan felt sad, the rank is more than 2,000 stone, and it is equivalent to the provincial and ministerial-level cadres and senior officials of later generations, but he can only ensure the food and clothing of dozens of people in a house.

Think about the harmonious society ancestors of later generations, and think of the county and township-level cadres in the places where they are in later generations, which cadres are not paid and never used, and bonuses are only used as pocket money, but they still call friends to eat, drink, and have fun, and they can get cards every year.

Not to mention that those provincial and ministerial-level high-ranking officials can casually raise double-digit mistresses, and they can also eat, drink and have fun at public expense, and they are high-end cars when they go out and enter the house, and relatives and friends can ascend to heaven. Dou Yan felt a faint sadness lingering in his heart, it seems that the officials in ancient times could not reach the excellent quality of later generations of officials who were both public and did not take it for nothing.
