Young Master Jin said: "Oh, it is to bury the elixir into the meridians to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body and prolonging life." ”

Zhou Xiaocao asked, "Then do you feel that you are healthy or have you prolonged your life?" ”

Young Master Jin looked ashamed and said, "I'm afraid that I can't be taken care of by the heavens." ”

Zhou Xiaocao suddenly said loudly: "Wrong! People's fate is in their own hands, has God taught you when to say something? Did you learn how to take every step? ”

Young Master Jin was thoughtful: "What does Engong mean?"

"It's these elixirs that hurt you! Do you know the basic ingredients of the elixir? That's all mercury. What is mercury? Liquid heavy metals! When it enters the bloodstream, it cannot be metabolized, it will accumulate more and more, and eventually cause people to die of pain! ”

Young Master Jin's face changed and asked, "Who introduced this Master Xing to me?" ”

Liu Da opened his mouth and said, "Yes, Wang is your cousin." ”

Young Master Jin's face changed again and again, and finally said, "I know, I will deal with this matter myself in the future." ”

Then he said to Zhou Xiaocao: "Thank you so much." If it weren't for Engong's reminder, I'm afraid I would have always pampered this traitor, and I would have been killed by him in the end. ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "Do you know? If you want to strengthen your body, there is only one way, and that is to eat less and move more. There is no other way. Those who delusionally think that they will take pills or pray to the gods and worship the Buddha to achieve the effect of longevity and longevity are all just in vain in the end. I think that the gods and Buddhas will not take care of such lazy believers when they see them. ”

Young Master Jin said: "Engong's teachings, don't forget it!" ”

After Young Master Jin and the others left, Zhou Xiaocao cried again: "My life is over!" I can't even do the least thing a man does, so what am I still alive for! ”

Feng Yulan hurriedly comforted: "Xianggong, this may be temporary, it will get better slowly, Xianggong doesn't have to worry." ”

Zhou Xiaocao said sadly: "I hope." ”

After a few days, it was time for Zhou Xiaocao's training class on Zhou's counting method to finish. Although something happened in the middle, and the director waited until today to finish the course, everyone obviously felt that they had gained a lot. This week's counting method really greatly simplifies the calculation steps, provides efficiency, and is really a great help for accounting personnel.

When he came to the class, Simon Blowing Snow greeted him first: "Young Master! ”

Although this guy was born as a beggar, Zhou Xiaocao felt that his shameless style had his own charm, so he left him by his side to be a messenger. The first is to let him learn to read and write, and practice this week's counting so that he can become his assistant in the future.

Young Master Jin has been familiar with Zhou Xiaocao these days, and he often comes to listen to his lectures when he has nothing to do, and he will ask some very high-quality questions, but he is very diligent and studious. originally wanted to charge him tuition, but when he thought that people had already paid tens of thousands of taels of silver, he was embarrassed to ask for these fifty taels of silver. In this way, Zhou Xiaocao is still quite righteous.

Today, Young Master Jin also came. Zhou Xiaocao stopped in the lecture hall and said, "Today, it's time for our Zhou's counting training class to finish. Everyone has paid fifty taels of silver, and they have been studying for so long, and today is the time to test you. It's a mule or a horse, just pull it out for a walk. Now, listen up! ”

As we all know, this is the final test. I heard that after passing this exam, what graduation certificate will be issued, and when you take this in the future, you will have special care when you do business with the Feng family. This is the same as today's students, what are they going to school for? To get a good job!

Knowing this, everyone stretched their necks, pricked up their ears, and waited for Zhou Xiaocao to come up with the question.

Zhou Xiaocao was very satisfied with this effect, and said: "In a small town, there are very few people. On this day, a foreigner came to the only inn, put a hundred large sums on the table, and said that he would go upstairs to have a look, and if there was no suitable room, he would not live. While the guests were going upstairs to look at their rooms, the shopkeeper grabbed the hundred big money, handed it to the meat seller, and returned his meat money. The meat seller took the money and paid back the pig farmer's pig money. Then, the pig farmer took the money and gave it to the casino owner to pay off his gambling debts. The casino owner took the money and gave it to the prostitute and paid him back the money he owed for prostitution. The prostitute took the money and gave it to the innkeeper and paid him back for the house. At this time, the guest who was going to stay in the hotel went downstairs, and he said that he had not looked at any of the rooms, and took away the hundred dollars. So, the money was still the guest's, but all the debts of the whole town were cleared. Excuse me, did these 100 big coins generate value, and how much value did they generate? ”

So everyone is thinking about it, but it's hard to figure it out. I only heard Young Master Jin say: "Mr. Zhou, this question doesn't seem to have the slightest connection with your Zhou notation, right?" ”

"Yes, yes! No association! This question doesn't count! ”

When the students heard this, they all became energetic. yes, there's no computational problem involved in this!

Just when Zhou Xiaocao felt disappointed, he only heard Ximen Fuxue say, "Young master, I know!" ”

Zhou Xiaocao was overjoyed and asked, "You say!" ”

Ximen Fuxue saluted and said, "Back to the young master, that's because the debts between them are originally a big circle, and they will eventually return to the starting point when they go around and around." All that is needed is an entry point to break this circle, and this hundred big coins play this role. In fact, without these hundred big money, it is possible to pay off all debts, as long as they have communicated verbally, it is over. ”

Zhou Xiaocao applauded: "Well said! Now you guys get it? The Zhou notation method that I gave you does not produce value in itself. However, it will allow you to clear all the arrears in this town without the help of these hundred coins! That's the value, that's the time! And for us businessmen, what is time? Time is money, time is life! ”

The students looked ashamed and bowed their heads. Zhou Xiaocao said: "I know that you used to do big business, and some of you have even been immersed in this way for many years. However, we don't just want to be a bookkeeper, our purpose is not to be a bookkeeper for a lifetime. We have to understand that if you don't want to be the boss's bookkeeper, it's not a good bookkeeper! ”

Young Master Jin said: "Mr. Zhou is extremely right! Mr. Zhou's set of theories can be used anywhere. Governing the country and governing the army are all available. I now finally understand what the ancients mean when they said, 'Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years'. ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "Young Master Jin has a good reputation! ”

Then he said to the students, "Now, the real arithmetic problem is here, please listen to it!" Say, "A man wants to sell a good log, and let the man sell it, and he says that he will sell it for fifty great dollars." When the man had taken out the wood, he met three carpenters, who bought it in three pieces, and the man charged each of them twenty great dollars. After going back, this person said that these carpenters will definitely find that the wood they bought back is not worth so much money, and they will definitely look for you. Well, go and return the ten dollars you have overcharged. The guy took the money and found the three of them separately, returned three big coins each, and then came back with the remaining big money. The man was furious and said, "Each person gave you twenty dollars, and you returned three dollars, which is equivalent to seventeen dollars each person gave you." These seventeen times three, you get fifty-one big coins, and now you have a big coin in your hand, which adds up to fifty-two big coins, and I ask you, where are the remaining eight big coins? ”

Ximen Fuxue said: "Young master, this young man is wronged. ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "I also know that he was wronged. But if you were this fellow, how would you defend yourself? ”
