Chapter 57: Don't bully the boy
The shopkeeper Zhang was a white and chubby old man with a respectful smile on his face.
Gu Mengping nodded secretly, no wonder Lao An trusted him, just looking at his face, Shopkeeper Zhang is indeed a trustworthy person.
"So this is the eldest young master!" Shopkeeper Zhang arched his hand with a smile, took out a gift and sent it to Gu Mengping with both hands, "Little Lao'er has long known the eldest young master, but he has been buying goods outside, and he didn't come back until before the lunar month, and it was the busiest month for business in the lunar month, so I didn't have time to visit the eldest young master, and I hope that the eldest young master will forgive his sins." Just this sentence tells how hard he worked and how hard he worked.
Hearing this, Gu Mengping glanced at him more, smiled and reached out to take the gift.
Seeing that the little master accepted the gift, the shopkeeper Zhang sighed and turned his head to face Lao Anren, with a sad expression, "The store is empty this year, and I am to blame for it." I think the market is good in the first half of the year, so I want to buy more goods and sell them at a good price in the second half of the year. But who would have thought that in autumn it would be rainy and rainy, and it would rain for almost a month. The paper is the most damp, and a large part of it is damaged...... The little old man had no choice but to dispose of the damaged paper at a low price. Please rest assured, wait until next year, business will definitely improve next year! ”
Still next year? I'm afraid that next year, the surname of this store will not be Gu or two.
Lao Anren sighed and didn't speak, but his eyes looked at Gu Mengping, meaning that all the power was in his hands.
Shopkeeper Zhang bent down towards Gu Mengping, looking deaf.
Gu Mengping took a step forward and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang, you are the old man in the family, and you are my elder when it comes to it, so it stands to reason that I shouldn't say these things." Since grandmother wants to check the accounts, please ask the shopkeeper to hand over the accounts first! ”
"Naturally, it has to be handed over." Shopkeeper Zhang was still smiling, and ordered the guy standing in the courtyard to bring in this year's account book.
There are twelve volumes in total, each of which is one month.
"The eldest young master, the little old man is a family of four living in the store, the eldest lady used to tell the little old man that the annual silver is fifteen taels, and the two sons of the little old man are in the store. In addition, there are three guys and five apprentices in the shop, and the annual silver of the guys plus the apprentices is a total of eight taels...... There is also an account office in the store, and the annual silver is five taels. Shopkeeper Zhang nodded, and then raised his head again, full of guilt, "Xiao Lao'er has discussed with the Hun family, business is sluggish this year, Xiao Lao'er is willing not to want this fifteen taels of silver, as long as the three guys and the silver in the account room are distributed." ”
Three guys are eight taels a year, which means that one person only weighs two and a half taels of silver a year, which is really not much. As for the apprentices, before they left the school, they were only in charge of food and two seasons of clothing.
Shopkeeper Zhang was willing not to take the fifteen taels of silver, but he was afraid that he would say it to Lao Anren......
Lao An has a kind heart, and he has to help many poor families every year.
Gu Mengping raised his eyes and looked at the shopkeeper Zhang, and then looked at the Lao An people who were a little moved, and his smile deepened.
"Shopkeeper Zhang is really a high-spirited and bright ......" Speaking of this, he changed the topic, "However, today is to look at the account book, as for the silver of this year, it should be as much as it should be, and Shopkeeper Zhang does not have to worry." ”
Shopkeeper Zhang's eyes narrowed, and he was almost out of sight.
He could see that today's Lao An people are afraid that they will hand over the power to this stinky young master. But he wasn't worried, just this kid could find out the accounts made by Wu's bookkeeper? This is really a big joke, I'm afraid that I won't find anything after two more years.
"Today, there is a shopkeeper who has run this trip." Gu Mengping very politely sent Shopkeeper Zhang out of the door.
Closing the street door, Gu Mengping showed a disappointed expression. He also thought that the shopkeeper would take the opportunity to say something to him when he went out, but he didn't expect to get into the carriage after just a few cold words.
Can the shopkeeper of a shop afford a horse-drawn carriage?
Where does the money come from?
Before the shopkeeper knew it, he showed his hole cards.
Gongsun Yuan came out of the next room, "Why did you let him go?" Why don't you check the accounts in front of him? ”
Gu Mengping said the words of the shopkeeper Zhang, "Presumably because I was afraid that I would check the inventory, I explained the loss ...... first."
Gongsun Yuan frowned, "In that case, wouldn't it be impossible to find out?" ”
Gu Mengping smiled, "You forgot, I asked Yu Sihe to inquire about the real price?" ”
"What does this have to do with inventory?" Gongsun Yuan was surprised.
Gu Mengping said: "We can deduce how much silver we have lost in total based on this price, and then combine it with the amount reported by the shopkeeper, so that we can know the actual loss." ”
Hearing him use the word "we", Gongsun Yuan laughed.
Gu Mengping glanced at him and said, "I want to check the accounts more carefully this time, so I'm afraid that one person is a little too busy, can you borrow the turmoil around you to raise the brothers?" ”
Gongsun Yuan was startled at first, and then smiled with crooked eyebrows. He originally wanted to ask Gu Mengping about this bookkeeping method, but he was not able to speak.
Unexpectedly, Gu Mengping actually brought it up first.
But he didn't know Gu Mengping's thoughts! If this method of accounting has not been used, then it should only be in this world. But now that it has come out, Gu Mengping can't bear this name.
It is still the best for Gongsun Yuan to bear the good name.
The royal heir is naturally a first-class smart person in the world. Isn't it easy to invent a bookkeeping method?
Thinking of this, Gu Mengping smiled even more easily.
led the stormy brothers into the study, and Gongsun Yuan personally covered the door for them.
Then, despite the severe cold in the courtyard, he insisted on staying in the courtyard.
"Actually, I don't know any accounting methods, I just know that if there is one in, there must be one out. If the account can be settled between the discrepancies and exits, this is considered to be the settlement of the account. Today's task is to sort out the accounts month by month, and then check and sort out the accounts one by one. When the two accounts are reconciled and the inventory is combined, we will know where the discrepancy is......"
Gu Mengping said, and began to guide the Fengbo Fengyang brothers to read the account book.
For him, this amount-type sub-ledger was easy, because all the governments and businesses in later generations used a similar accounting method. Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run? As long as you install an accounting software in your mobile phone, you can roughly know how the account is kept.
However, this bookkeeping method is tantamount to a book from heaven for the storm!
But they know that this is the foundation for them to live and win fame in the future, even if they grit their teeth.
This investigation was a day and a night, and when they opened the window the next morning, they saw Gongsun Yuan's haggard face.
"You ...... Done checking? But I'm freezing to death......" Gongsun Yuan seemed to have stood all night, shivering from the cold, even though he was covered with a thick crane.
Gu Mengping was stunned! He didn't expect Gongsun Yuan to attach so much importance to this bookkeeping method.
I was speechless for a while.
The stormy brothers looked at each other......
They wanted to say something, but they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only kneel down in front of Gongsun Yuan with tears in their eyes.
Gu Mengping sighed, is this the king's royal law? Obviously, he taught Feng Bo Feng Yang the bookkeeping method, but the one they were most grateful to was Gongsun Yuan, who kept watch all night.
---------
This is the second update of the day. Brothers and sisters, rest and go! Rest early, too.
I feel that there are fewer and fewer people reading books now, are you blaming me for breaking off the update a few days ago? I really didn't mean to break it, but my grandfather was sick, and I contracted a cold in the hospital......
Because of the interruption, there is no recommendation, and now my book is as miserable as it is.
Thank you for your support! Please.
