Chapter 19 Copycat Accounting

After what happened that day, Fang Shao had another identity, in addition to being the cook of the Zhuge family, he was also a student of Zhuge Liang.

And Zhuge Liang's cultivation of Fang Shao was naturally out of sincerity, and since then, as a teacher, he often took Fang Shao with him, so that he could broaden his horizons and get exercise and learning from it.

In fact, Fang Shao has been crawling in the modern workplace for many years, and he has not experienced any complex interpersonal relationships, and he is only afraid that he is no worse than Zhuge Liang in terms of talking to people and ghosts.

In Fang Shao's view, Zhuge Liang does have outstanding abilities that are different from ordinary people in terms of governance, from being promoted to solving cases, to being able to draw taxes and raise talents, he is doing everything, and everything is handled quite decently.

Zhuge Liang's outstanding governance ability is what Liu Bei's group is very lacking, and his subordinates such as Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Sun Gan and others, who have followed Liu Bei for so many years, have accumulated a lot of experience in escaping, but their actual ability to do things is still poor, far less than Zhuge Liang's ability to practice and do things.

Therefore, under the governance of Zhuge Liang, within a few months, Liu Bei's subordinates showed a thriving scene of clear government affairs, officials fulfilling their duties, and law-abiding people.

Zhuge Liang proved his worth in a short period of time with his practical actions, and thus won the respect of many officials under Liu Bei's account, including Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, when these two people saw Zhuge Liang recently, their attitude was obviously much better, and most of the time they would respectfully call Zhuge Liang a "military advisor", and Zhuge Liang gradually became majestic, Fang Shao followed him as a disciple, and naturally felt that he had face.

It was said that Zhuge Liang took Fang Shao to the newly built naval army camp to inspect, and by the way he asked Xu Shu to discuss the allocation of food and grass for the naval army.

"Yuan Zhi, what are you busy with?" Zhuge Liang didn't need to be passed on, and walked into Xu Shu's tent, followed by Fang Shao.

But after seeing a few later, a tall and mighty man with a beard and a scumbag face was buried in the bamboo slips of a case, walking like the wind with one hand, pinching and calculating with the other, frowning, and having words in his mouth, looking anxious.

This person is Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi.

In Fang Shao's imagination, a senior strategist like Xu Shu, although he is not as elegant as Kong Ming, at least he should have an elegant appearance, but now when I see it for the first time, I don't want to be a figure like a dog slaughtering a pig in the market, which is really a bit of a surprise.

That Xu Shu looked up and saw that Zhuge Liang had arrived, he couldn't help frowning, and the anxiety on his face was also dissipated, the pen was lifted on the case, he jumped up, laughed and stepped forward, hugged Zhuge Liang's shoulder and said excitedly: "Kong Ming, Kong Ming, you came just in time, my head is about to explode, let's go, let's drink a little, so that I can relieve my fatigue." ”

Xu Shu had a heroic style, and the feather fan in Zhuge Liang's hand almost slapped it off for him, but he didn't mind at all, and said happily: "Okay, it's rare that Yuanzhi has this Yaxing, I'll accompany you to drink it well." ”

The two of them were in a good mood, and when they were about to leave, Xu Shu suddenly stopped again, patted his head and said: "Look at my head, I am confusing these account books, Kong Ming, it seems that you can only drink this wine by yourself." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "This kind of trivial matter of settling accounts can be handed over to the next person to do, why not do it yourself." ”

Xu Shu sighed: "You don't know, the navy is expanding rapidly, and three or four hundred new people are recruited every day, so this grain account is also changing every day, and the rice buckets below are doing it and messing up the account, it doesn't matter if I turn it over today, this account has become a pot of porridge." The lord said that he was going to hand over the account books to Liu Jingzhou, so I had to go into battle in person, and I couldn't go anywhere today, so I swept away your interest. ”

Zhuge Liang said disapprerovingly: "I thought it was so difficult, it just so happened that my disciple Fang Shao was good at arithmetic, so leave this account to him, let's drink our wine." ”

Fang Shao's heart immediately chuckled, as a science graduate, his mathematical ability was indeed good, when he was talking about arithmetic with Kong Ming in the grass hall, he had played it a few times, but it was a simple calculation with the help of calculus equations.

And the stacked ledger in front of me, although it is only a simple operation of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but the number is huge.

"That, sir, you have lifted me, I am just ......" Fang Shao hurriedly escaped, but was interrupted by Zhuge Liang before he finished speaking.

"Calculate carefully, if you miscalculate and cause Yuan Zhi to be blamed by the lord, sir, I am the only one who asks." After Zhuge Liang gave the order, he dragged Xu Shu out.

"Can he do it?"

"Okay, why not, my student, don't you feel at ease, let's go."

In the blink of an eye, the two slipped out of the tent, leaving behind only Fang Shao and a mountain-like account book.

"Damn, this isn't playing with me!" Fang Shao looked at the pile of account books and wanted to vomit, thinking in his heart, it would be good if he brought a calculator with him by the way when he crossed, in that case, he didn't know how much time would be saved ten times and a hundred times, and just using this most primitive brush and bamboo slip to write, I am afraid that it will not help until dawn tomorrow.

As if he was worried about something, all of a sudden, Fang Shao had an inspiration, so he walked to the tent and said to Xu Shu's personal soldiers who were guarding: "Bring me the carpenter in your camp." ”

After a cup of tea, the inexplicable soldier walked in with an inexplicable carpenter, and the reason why the two of them were confused was because the person inside said that he wanted to find a carpenter to help him settle the account.

"Li San of the grass people has seen adults, and the grass people don't know how to settle accounts." The old carpenter knelt down tremblingly and kowtowed.

"Take it, do it, and do it in an hour, and be rewarded for it, or else, hum." Fang Shao threw a piece of white silk to the carpenter, on which was a drawing of the production of an abacus that he had just drawn.

True, he intends to invent the abacus.

Although he remembered that the abacus appeared very early in ancient times, he had never seen this thing since he came to the end of the Han Dynasty for more than a year, but even if there was, it was only the most primitive model, and it was by no means as good as the mature type that had been improved by thousands of years in later generations, and the abacus mantra that he had memorized backwards since elementary school.

At least, in this era when there were no calculators, the abacus was the most advanced calculation tool that Fang Shao could think of.

The carpenter's craftsmanship is really good, and in less than half an hour, he built a delicate abacus for him according to the map, everything is ready, and the rest can only rely on grinding time.

So Fang Shao rolled up his sleeves, flipped through the book with his left hand, plucked the beads with his right hand, and counted in his heart, it took more than three hours, and when the sun set, it was finally completed.

And when Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu returned with a good time, when they entered the account, what they saw were ledgers scattered all over the ground, as well as Fang Shao, who was sleeping like a cow on the case, and of course, he drooled all over the case.

Seeing this scene, Zhuge Liang's face brushed up, stepped forward a few steps, and roared: "Okay, Fang Shao, you dare not take Mr.'s words seriously, you dare to sleep secretly!" ”
