"Sister An, I heard that you are very good at arithmetic?"

"Yes...... Sister Guan? Hehe, so-so. ”

"Then there's a problem, you should know the solution, right?"

"Sister Guan is also learning arithmetic? Is it to learn "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" or "Arithmetic Enlightenment"? Just ask, my sister knows a little bit about it. ”

An Xiaofeng dialed the abacus while waiting for the little girl to ask a small question such as dividing pears or chicken feet.

Guan Xuan looked at her with a wistful expression, and her mouth turned over repeatedly: "A cubic power cannot be divided into two sums of cubic powers, a fourth power cannot be divided into two fourth-power sums, and all quadratic powers cannot be divided into two sums of the same power, how can this be proved?" ”

The crackling abacus stopped abruptly, and An Xiaofeng's whole person was suddenly petrified.

With a sweet smile full of curiosity, he blinked his eyes for a while, and saw that An Xiaofeng's eyes were still straight, it was not a contemplation to solve the problem, but he was simply stunned. Guan Xuan, who brought the big killer of Fermat's theorem from Li Xian, sighed, it seems that An Xiaofeng's level is not enough to talk to her on an equal footing.

"So you didn't learn arithmetic."

Guan Xuan turned around in frustration to leave, An Xiaofeng had just returned to his soul, and he was poked by these words and screamed in his heart.

"Uh...... That one...... My sister is learning arithmetic in business, like this...... This kind of useless question naturally doesn't need to be pondered, hehe......"

An Xiaofeng smiled reluctantly, and his subordinates deliberately added a little force, and the abacus beads snapped.

"Oh? Sounds like you're a strong abacus, sister? ”

Guan Xuan turned around, anyone who was stronger than her in numeracy was the object of her oppression.

"My sister also knows abacus? My sister is not the first in Anjia, but she is definitely among the top three. Come, Bibi look, my sister can catch up with my sister's Guangzhou foreign bank at half the speed, and she can be the shopkeeper. ”

With the abacus in hand, An Xiaofeng was full of confidence, and wanted to make this little girl bow her head.

"Okay, okay, my sister is out of the question!"

Guan Xuan was excited, but the person was still standing in place.

"You...... Don't you want to calculate? ”

An Xiaofeng was shocked.

"Abacus...... It's right in my head. ”

Guan Xuan nodded his forehead.

"That's a good skill......"

An Xiaofeng couldn't help but let herself laugh, or let this little girl know the real gap.

The abacus beads snapped, Guan Xuan's eyelids blinked, and one number by one sounded in the room, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, three-digit four-digit self-multiplication, five-digit six-digit division, the more to the back, the slower the abacus sounded, but Guan Xuan's crisp voice still sounded neatly. In the end, the abacus beads looked as if they were hitting someone's head, and they looked extremely heavy.

"Well, my sister is pretty good, and she can basically catch up with half my speed."

Guan Xuan wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and left with a smile. The room was silent for a while, and after a while, with a bang, the abacus was smashed to the ground, and the beads rolled all over the ground, An Xiaofeng shouted in a trembling voice: "How is it possible!" This little girl is clearly a demon ...... Demons! ”

If Guan Xuan was still here, he would have crooked his mouth disdainfully and asked, "Don't you understand mental arithmetic?" ”

An Xiaofeng had no intention of taking care of the accounts in her hand anymore, and went out to the lively Qingtian Market, wanting to resolve the depression in her heart.

was strolling around the cloth knitting area, but saw two women walking hand in hand. She recognized the slender and bright-eyed woman as the manager of the pharmacy in Zhuangzili, and the other shorter bright girl was wearing a short dress that walked outside, revealing her long-legged willow waist, and with that stunning appearance, she also looked straight.

The two girls went to a nearby shop and chatted while picking up something.

"Sister, I told you, don't touch the food directly with your hands, there are countless germs in a needle."

"I'm really hungry, that guy has to let me train a few more fist and foot apprentices, but I can't tire people out."

"Fourth brother really didn't treat your sister as a woman, he doesn't know if you are still busy practicing marksmanship and horseback riding?"

"He did it on purpose, so I can't see that I am better than him! But then again, sister, you have to take care of the pharmacy, you have to take care of Shantang, and you have to study what germs for him, and he doesn't treat you as a woman. ”

"In his eyes, I ...... It's not a woman. ”

These words made An Xiaofeng shudder again, and involuntarily thought of Guan Xuan, who was so young, but his arithmetic was so strong that he was perverted, and most of them were not treated as a person by Li Xian, and he was forced to practice.

Pan Jinling turned around, and when he saw An Xiaofeng's back in a hurry, he frowned slightly and said, "That's not ...... What is the tenth lady who settled in Guangzhou? ”

Yan Sanniang snorted: "Most of the time she will be regarded as a woman by him." ”

Pan Jinling chuckled, then thought of something, and asked very carefully, "Your father is almost better, what are your plans?" ”

Yan Sanniang, who was holding a flower cloth on her body, was stunned, her eyebrows were lowered, she bit her lip lightly, and pretended not to understand: "What...... What is the plan? ”

She didn't have a plan, but An Xiaofeng, who ran back as if she was running away, had a plan, especially after seeing that the tellers at home were buried in the account books like a mountain, and the abacus beads were shocking.

"Six...... Sixth uncle, I'm ...... I don't want to ......"

She found An Liu, and was about to say something with a sad expression, An Liu patted the account books of the people around her.

"This is from him, you have to deal with it quickly and let him know what you are capable of."

An Xiaofeng rolled her eyes, raised her head and fell, whether Li Xi knew her ability was not clear, but she knew Li Shi's ability to treat men as cattle and women as men...... "Sick?" It's so delicate. ”

Hearing the news that An Xiaofeng was in bed, Li Xian was scratched, and the An family sent eleven tellers, plus An Xiaofeng was twelve. These people are not enough, and now there is one less, and the progress will definitely be affected.

"It's much cooler here than Guangzhou, so it's a little uncomfortable."

An Liubao explained with a smile, thinking that An Xiaofeng was really right, the An family sent her to "kiss", but this Li Xi was squeezed as hard labor, look at the eleven tellers he brought, these two days are at least eight hours a day, and they are all foaming at the mouth.

But he couldn't say that Li Xi deliberately made things difficult, not only these tellers, but Li Xi also transferred more than a dozen shopkeepers from other places, and they were sorting out the account books day and night. He had also looked at these account books, which were a bit like the accounts of the banknote customs, and Li Xi wanted them to transfer them to another set of somewhat strange accounts, which would definitely require a lot of checks and re-examinations, and they would not be able to do it without enough skilled calculations.

"Or go back to Guangzhou to recuperate, it's really colder here than Guangzhou, I need someone who can do things."

Li Xi didn't treat An Xiaofeng as a woman at all, let alone a woman who could enter the room. An Liu gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to have any objections, who made him put enough pressure, and even threatened to send her to Fujian directly, An Xiaofeng didn't want to stay here anymore.

"That's a problem......"

An Liu was sad, and Li Xi was also sighing.

"It seems that you settle down, even in accounting, it is difficult to support too big a business, let's cooperate step by step."

An Liu's heart was dripping blood, and he just thought about throwing An Xiaofeng to the rich man's house in Fujian.

In the end, Li Shi only gave An Jia the agency right to market crystal glazed products in Guangdong and Fujian, and all the conditions were compared with the Peng family, including the selection of downstream distributors, as well as the shipping price, all of which must be nodded by Li Shi.

An Liu didn't dare to be the master, only said that he would decide by the head of the family after he went back, but he knew that the family would definitely not accept these conditions, and Li Xi did not really want the family to accept these conditions, but waited for the family to give true sincerity.

"Those tellers, I'll take them away when you come back, I still need them to work for at least half a month."

Li Xi said this, which confirmed An Liu's speculation, and also made him more curious, what is Li Xi trying to figure out? Could it be that he brought the entire account of the banknote?

Those account books are indeed unbankable, but not all of them, if you really have to take care of them all, Li Xi has to find hundreds of tellers. Those are just from last year and two months this year.

Today, there are three groups of people in the banknote customs, including the banknote customs committee, two scribes on the economic system, and more than a dozen scattered people, which are government forces, and now they are just like goods, and they don't care about the facts at all. The customs association organized by the merchants headed by Peng Xianzhong was built with the original banknote clerks as the team, and belonged to the customs of Li Xian, the Qingtian company, and the two of them actually controlled the banknotes.

The customs office actually inspects the goods, collects taxes and silver, and registers the accounts. The Guan Hui gave money to Li Shi, who supported the Guan Xing, and at the same time supervised whether the Guan Xing had extorted and exploited the expropriation. And the payment of taxes and silver is the responsibility of Guan Ya sent by Li Xian.

Although the government's control over the banknotes was divided from the point of interest, because the accounts still existed, Li Xi felt that if he continued to use the previous circular account and the traditional four-column accounting method, once the customs bank was taken back, the government could continue to collect taxes smoothly. So he wants to continue to create barriers from the accounts.

Use the accounting hand of Shang'an to check and check the old accounts, and then use the accounting hand of Qingtian Company to move the old account data to the new account. In the future, let the customs bank use the new account, so that the government can no longer interfere in the details of the customs bank, so as to achieve real isolation. The accounts to be handed over to the household department for future inspection are made by the scribes left behind by the banknotes, and the total amount of silver is sufficient anyway, so the customs bank is only allowed to make a false account for the clerks to fill in the book.

The new accounting method uses the loan method and Arabic numerals, and also uses more detailed ledgers, and the circulation, storage, and sorting and analysis of account books are all supported by the basic knowledge of commercial accounting in Li Shi's previous life, which is a completely new system. Once it has been in operation for a year and a half, it will be difficult for the government and businessmen to clarify the operation of the customs office, and they can only play the role of a good collector and a payout, and if they want to change this pattern, unless they are determined to smash the situation and start all over again, the risk and cost of doing so will not be ordinarily high.

The reason why Li Xi was so anxious was that he heard some rumors from Peng Xianzhong's Guan Hui, saying that the upper bosses seemed to be beginning to notice this Guan Hui, and he had to speed up the progress, and even when Guan Xuan proposed to participate, he thought about it for a long time and had to nod.

"There are some things that can't be avoided after all."

Li Xi sighed secretly, Guan Xuan is indeed supertalented in numbers, and it is really unreasonable for him to deliberately suppress it, so he has to let her go.
