Because the drinking order was too late, Su Hao and his party stayed in Zhao's Mansion that night. Zhao Luo was originally a good person to make friends, and he was even happier to meet young talents like Su Hao and Ma Yu, and the next morning, he desperately tried his best to keep them and let them stay in the house for a few more days before leaving. Su Hao couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to leave the Zhao Mansion under the pretext that he was busy with official business and the county magistrate was anxious to listen to the report.

Coming out of Zhao's mansion, Xu Zong and others also rushed to join them, and everyone returned to the county seat together. Walking to the road, Ma Yu couldn't help but ask Su Hao: "Brother Gai, you desperately persuaded that Zhao Yuanwai to go with us to survey the reservoir yesterday, but why?" I look at this person as pampered, and I am afraid that he is not a person who can endure hardships. ”

Su Hao smiled: "I also saw this, so I tried my best to persuade him to go with you." ”

"Why is that?" Ma Yu wondered.

Su Hao said: "This Zhao Yuanwai is a curious person, as long as I mention such a thing to him, he will definitely want to participate." Since he is not willing to endure hardship, he will naturally make more arrangements and prepare all kinds of wild life objects. Won't you be able to get it clean? We are all poor, and if we pull a rich man into a gang for something like this, we will definitely not suffer. ”

Ma Yu couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that Brother Gai actually has such an intention, which is really not very kind." I think this Zhao Yuan is frank and honest by nature, and he has no scheming, and his brother is so calculating to him, which is contrary to the way of the sage. ”

Regardless of whether it is contrary to the way of the sage, Su Hao and others' trip to Xuanfeng Township can be said to be a great success. The coal deposit has been found, the coal mining head has been hired, and then it has been rented to the mountain farm without any expense, and even the lime that will be produced in the future has been pre-sold in advance, which is really smooth sailing.

The crowd transitioned by boat and returned to the county seat. Su Hao told Chen Guanyu, Xu Zong, Ma Yu and others to do various related things separately, and he returned home with the map drawn in Xuanfeng Township.

"Xiu'er, Xiu'er! Boss Lu! As soon as Su Hao entered the door, he shouted loudly, there was no way, the house was too big, and communication could only rely on roaring.

Lu Xiu'er ran out of her boudoir upstairs in response, leaning on the railing and said, "Brother, are you back?" ”

"Come down." Su Hao beckoned.

"What are you doing?" Boss Lu Xiu'er asked reluctantly.

Su Hao said: "Let's talk about it, I have something to ask you to help with." ”

"I have a guest here." Lu Xiuer said.

"Guests? What's the matter, Miss Han is here again? Su Hao asked, the only guest he could think of was Han Qian.

"Su Gongzi is good."

"Hello Master Su."

Two girls actually came out of Lu Xiu'er's boudoir, they stood beside Lu Xiu'er, and said a blessing to Su Hao in unison, making Su Hao hurriedly return the salute. After returning the ceremony, he found out that one of these two people was Han Qian, and the other was actually Cheng Yi.

"Why is the Cheng family's lady here?" Su Hao asked strangely, he really couldn't think of how Cheng Yi could know Lu Xiu'er, and how he came to his house.

"Master Su, it was Miss Han who passed me on, saying that I was asked to teach Miss Lu some bookkeeping methods." Cheng Yi replied respectfully upstairs.

"Uh...... Can you come down and talk? Su Hao said, "If I continue to say this, I will fall into my head." ”

The three girls laughed together, Lu Xiu'er turned around and invited the two female companions to go downstairs together, Cheng Yi and Han Qian pushed each other with their eyes, and then they all lowered their heads, followed Lu Xiu'er with a crimson face, and went downstairs to the hall.

When she arrived at the hall, Lu Xiuer took on the role of hostess, she beckoned Su Hao and the two female companions to sit down separately, and poured water for everyone. Han Qian and Cheng Yi each had their own embarrassments, they both sat sideways on the stool, their eyes staring at the tips of their shoes most of the time, and occasionally sneaking a glance at Su Hao and Lu Xiu'er.

"Cheng Yi, what bookkeeping method did you just say?" Su Hao asked.

Cheng Yi raised her head, flashed her beautiful big eyes, and replied: "Back to Master Su, two days ago, Miss Han said that Master Su's sister Miss Lu was going to open a trading house, and Miss Lu wanted to learn some bookkeeping techniques so that she could check the account books in the future, but she couldn't find anyone to guide her." When my father was here, he once taught the little girl some bookkeeping methods, so Miss Han called the little girl to teach Miss Lu a thing or two. In fact, the little girl's learning is very superficial, and she can only learn with Miss Han and Miss Lu. ”

"Oh, I see." Su Hao smiled, it seems that her sister is too devoted, and she has just appointed her as the shopkeeper, and she is busy learning accounting. It is estimated that she told Han Qian about this, and Han Qian herself is not proficient in accounting, so she called Cheng Yi, who had learned bookkeeping with her father, who was an official, to her home.

"That's really hard for you, my sister doesn't know much, you have to teach her bookkeeping, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort." Su Hao said.

Cheng Yi said: "Where, Miss Lu is very literate, although she was not very literate before, but in the past two days, the little girl only gave her a rough lecture, and she has learned more than half of it." ”

"That must be the Cheng family's lady who taught it well." Su Hao said.

Lu Xiu'er said to Su Hao: "Of course Sister Cheng taught her well. In the past, I asked you to teach me to read, but you ignored them and called me stupid. Sister Cheng taught me to be patient and never laughed at me. ”

"The past...... It seems that I want to teach you to read, but you don't learn it yourself, okay? Su Hao revealed, seeing that Lu Xiu'er was faintly about to go berserk, he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Xiu'er, you learned bookkeeping from the Cheng family's lady, have you ever kept accounts yourself?" Can you show it to me? ”

"I'm going to show you." Lu Xiu'er said with a smile, as soon as she stretched out her hand, she took out a few pages out of nowhere, handed them to Su Hao, and said proudly: "Brother, look at it, this is all my own account." ”

Su Hao took the pages and looked at them, only to see that there were some words such as cashier and silver written crookedly, and the handwriting seemed very naïve, presumably from Lu Xiu'er's hand. However, she was a girl who was almost illiterate in the past, and she was able to keep accounts after a few days, which is really a big improvement. It seems that people have to bear the burden, and giving Lu Xiuer the title of shopkeeper actually stimulated her learning potential.

"Master Su, this is the bookkeeping method that the little girl learned, I don't know if it's right or not, please ask Master Su for advice." Cheng Yi said softly.

Su Hao hesitated for a moment and said, "Cheng Yi, there is nothing wrong with your bookkeeping method, but it is a little more complicated, and it is not convenient to settle the accounts." I've learned some Westerners' bookkeeping methods, I wonder if you're interested in learning about it? ”

"The little girl is willing to listen to Master Su's advice." Cheng Yi replied.

Su Hao stood up, walked to the table of the Eight Immortals who were eating, and beckoned to the three girls, "You all come over and watch." ”

The three girls walked over together, around the Eight Immortals table, waiting for Su Hao to speak. Su Hao found a piece of paper, took out a piece of charcoal, and then said to Cheng Yi emphatically: "Cheng Yi, listen carefully, I'll explain to you the Arabic numerals first......"

As he spoke, he began to write down the 10 Arabic numerals from 0 to 9 on the paper, explaining them to Cheng Yi one by one, and explaining to her about notation.

These contents were told to the students in the county government before Su Hao set out to dig a well, and Han Qian had gone to listen to it at that time, so he was no stranger to it. Lu Xiuer's original education level was low, and the Chinese numbers had not yet been memorized, and when she saw the Arabic numerals, she was even more directly dizzy. Only Cheng Yi, she has never been exposed to Arabic numerals, but she has a good cultural foundation, Su Hao simply said it, she understood, and quickly realized the wonders.

"Well, now that you understand Arabic numerals, I'll go ahead and tell you how to keep accounts. The bookkeeping method we use is called double-entry bookkeeping, and you remember such a mantra, which is called that there must be a loan if there is a loan, and the loan must be equal......" Su Hao said.

Cheng Yi's eyes stared at the account sheet that Su Hao casually drew on the paper, and her mind was racing, quickly attracting and digesting the modern accounting methods that Su Hao explained to her. Su Hao himself is not an accountant, and he doesn't know much about accounting standards and the like, but he just knows the surface of bookkeeping. But even this little bit of fur, in Cheng Yi's ears, is already a great university question.

"There is such a simple bookkeeping method, which is a thousand times better than what a little girl has learned." Cheng Yi whispered excitedly, she was originally a reserved girl, if she hadn't really been moved by the knowledge taught by Su Hao, she would definitely not be happy.

"Sister Han, do you understand?" Lu Xiu'er asked Han Qian in a whisper on the side.

Han Qian shook her head gently, biting her lower lip with a slight sense of loss. Su Hao said these things, she only understood thirty percent, and seventy percent needed to be carefully recalled to understand. But she saw a relieved look on Cheng Yi's face, knowing that she understood at least seventy percent. This discovery made Han Qian's heart sour.

Su Hao's explanation of accounting methods is mainly aimed at Cheng Yi. He once had the idea of recruiting Cheng Yi into a business house as a manager, and hearing that she knew bookkeeping made him even more firm. He taught Cheng Yi accounting knowledge, the purpose of which was to enable her to manage the finances of the commercial bank after mastering it, as for Han Qian and Lu Xiu'er, Su Hao didn't consider whether they could understand it. In Su Hao's mind, Han Qian is the daughter of the county magistrate and has nothing to do with the firm; Lu Xiu'er is the shopkeeper, and her main responsibility is to help her take care of the house and manage the accounts, and she really can't be counted on.

"Master Su, I didn't understand this place, can you tell me again?" Han Qian finally couldn't help but interject, who let Su Hao's eyes only look at Cheng Yi when he spoke?

"Oh, Miss Han, where do you mean?" Su Hao realized that he seemed to have inadvertently neglected some people, he turned his head to look, and saw that Han Qian's face seemed to be smiling, and his eyes were sparkling, as if he could drown Su Hao.

Su Hao subconsciously sniffed, how could there suddenly be a faint smell of old vinegar in the fragrance of fat powder in the room?
