Han Jian and the others left the treasury and went directly back to Qingxu Yashe. The time was close to noon, but Han Jian asked Lin Xiaoshu not to open the lunch market, and even a few tables of guests who had booked a banquet were temporarily dismissed.

"Young boy, what is this going to do?" Sima asked a little puzzled.

"There are a lot of people on the street today, do you mean that the list will be released this afternoon?" Han Jian asked as he walked upstairs.

"Yes, Ruan Ping's kid has been wrong for the past few days, maybe it'll be better this afternoon." Sima Yi said with some emotion.

"In the afternoon, you accompany Ruan Ping to see the release list, I have something, I don't have time to go over for the time being, whether I am in it or not, find someone to inform me." Han Jian said, and the two of them had already gone upstairs. Yang Xi had already gone upstairs before, and at this time he was holding a general ledger and looking down.

"You're really looking at this." Han Jian smiled and said, "Don't look at it, someone will be here in a while." ”

Yang Xi raised his head, looked at Han Jian puzzled, and asked, "Brother Han brought the general ledger back, didn't he check it?" Or did Brother Han find someone else who knew how to come? ”

"It's not that I don't want to watch it, it's that I don't have time to watch it." Han Jian didn't have time to explain too much, at this time Zhang Xing had already brought a lot of masters from the bookstore, "This general ledger will not be in our hands for too long, so there will be no results from such a search, first find someone to transcribe it, and we will read it slowly." ”

Yang Xi smiled and said, "It's a good idea." ”

There were more than a dozen people brought by Zhang Xing, all of whom were in charge of printing plates and stereotypes in the newly opened bookstore, and this time Han Jian called them over not for stereotyping, but just to copy a copy of the general ledger. Because the general ledger is wire-mounted, Han Jian asked people to open the accounts first and send them to different people according to the serial code. One person is in charge of copying a few pages, so that it doesn't take long to finish copying.

"Look at what. Copy. Han Jian said to Sima Yi angrily, and he himself picked up a pen to copy.

Sima Yi was a little reluctant and said, "Young son, don't be in such a hurry, right?" I don't think the Kusi gang dared to come and ask for it. ”

Han Jian said: "They won't ask us." But we will find His Majesty to put pressure on us, we are taking the general ledger of the Treasury Division, which is related to all the accounts of the summer grain in the warehouse, do you think the people of the Treasury will let the accounts remain in our hands? ”

Sima thought about it for a while, but he still didn't understand it too much, but he still found a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to copy the accounts.

Han Jian said to the masters of the bookstore in front of the table: "Hurry up and copy, you can't make mistakes in numbers, and everyone is responsible for a few pages." Whoever makes a mistake will be punished, and after copying, check the original twice, and then hand it over for binding. ”

A general ledger has more than 100 pages, and everyone has to copy an average of seven or eight pages, in order to speed up the copying, Han Jian even called the literate shopkeeper in the Qingxu Yashe and his buddies to copy together. Originally, Lin Xiaoshu wanted to help, but unfortunately she didn't know much about it, and she didn't have anything to do if she didn't open the lunch market. I had to stand next to me and help serve tea and water.

It took half an hour, and the person in charge of copying finished copying piecemeal and gathered it for binding. And the binding is based on the page number, and the order of one by one cannot be wrong.

At this time, the palace sent Lu Shaokun to inform Han Jian to enter the palace. People were already waiting downstairs.

"Young Master Yang, you are responsible for checking the page numbers, and I will go and greet Grandpa Lu." Han Jian said.

"Hmm." Yang Xi is also serious about doing things. After all, checking page numbers isn't complicated.

Han Jian went downstairs, and Lu Shaokun was already waiting a little impatiently. He came to convey the empress's message to Han Jian to enter the palace to see him, but Han Jian didn't come down to see him for a long time. It made him anxious.

"Your Highness, why are you here now?" When Lu Shaokun saw Han Jian, he didn't care about drinking tea, and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty summons you, and hurriedly follow the old man into the palace." ”

"Father-in-law Lu, I don't know why His Majesty summoned you?" Han Jian asked knowingly.

"By the way, Your Highness remembered to bring the accounts from Kusi, it was the Kusima Ministry leader, saying that His Highness and the Sixth Prince took the accounts away, and Kusi was preparing the big accounts, and it was not possible to do without the general ledger, so I went to ask His Majesty Xià for it." Lu Shaokun said.

Han Jian nodded with a smile and said, "Then Grandpa Lu will wait a minute, and I will go upstairs to bring the account book." ”

Han Jian returned upstairs, and at this time, two books, one original account and one copied account, had been recorded. Originally, Sima Yi only handed over the originals, but Han Jian asked Yang Xi to take the two accounts with him and enter the palace together.

"Brother Han, what are you doing here? Aren't we going to leave a copy for ourselves? It took Yang Xi a long time to get the accounts done, and now in a blink of an eye, it seems that Han Jian wants to hand over all the two account books.

"It's inconvenient to say in detail now, Yang Gongzi entered the palace with me, and I will explain in detail when I come back." Han Jian said.

Yang Xi can't do anything else, but he is the most obedient, he trusts Han Jian very much, he may not understand what Han Jian does, but he knows that the progress of things will be surprisingly smooth.

Before leaving, Han Jian said to Sima Yu: "You go to accompany Ruan Ping, remember to find someone to inform me of the result." ”

Sima Yi nodded, originally he also wanted to enter the palace together, but was ordered by Han Jian to accompany Ruan Ping, who had not seen the three souls and seven spirits. In fact, he had long felt in his heart that Ruan Pingding was undoubtedly off the list this time.

Han Jian and Yang Xi left the Qingxu Elegant House, entered the palace from Yingtianmen with Lu Shaokun, and went straight to Ye'an Pavilion, where the empress was located. Summoned into the Ye'an Pavilion, Ma Jining has not yet left, and there are two other people with Ma Jining, one is Yang Qi that Han Jian has seen before, and the other Han Jian has not seen.

"King Dong, you're here." The empress's tone was cold and official.

Han Jian hurriedly saluted.

The empress raised her hand and said, "The king of the east doesn't need to be polite, the leader of the horse department said that you just brought an account from the treasury, but what is the matter?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Han Jian said, "The ministers helped the six princes to supervise the storage of summer grain together, and the accounts were also brought up to facilitate understanding. ”

"Hmm. The king of the east and the six princes are concerned about state affairs, and I do not blame you, but this kind of overstepping authority is not an example, even if there is, you must ask me first. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Han Jian saluted again.

The empress said: "The king of Nadong will return the accounts to the Ma Bu Ling, so that the Ma Bu can take them back to do the accounts." ”

"Yes." Han Jian received the order first, and then handed the account he was holding to Ma Jining, and said with a smile, "Ma Buling, see if this is the account?" ”

Ma Jining noticed from the beginning that Han Jian was holding an account book in his hand, whether it was from the cover or the thickness, it was different from the big account that was taken away by Han Jian. Ma Jining didn't quite understand what was going on. At this time, Han Jian handed over the accounts, and he could finally find out.

"This ...... This is not an account book taken from Kusi," Ma Jining flipped through ......a few pages. Somewhat surprised.

Han Jian pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh? Isn't it? Ma Buling take a good look at it, is the record on it different from the original account book? ”

The Empress frowned slightly. I don't understand what's going on.

"Ma Buling, isn't this the account book taken away by the East King?"

Ma Jining handed over the account book to the two subordinates, and the three of them looked at it together for a while, and it seemed that there was a final decision, Ma Jining replied to the empress: "Back to Your Majesty, this is the general ledger of the treasury, but it is not the account book that was taken away by the king of the east, but ...... Transcription. ”

The empress was also slightly surprised, looked at Han Jian and said, "King Dong." Is there such a thing? ”

Han Jian replied: "Back to Your Majesty, but there is something to do, the minister took the account book away, and was worried that the treasury could not complete the big account without the account book, so he hurriedly found someone to copy a copy, but the minister was in a hurry, and he couldn't tell which one was the original and which was the transcription, so he brought it together." ”

Han Jian's words not only moved Ma Jining. Even the empress was a little surprised, and it took more than an hour to send it to Ma Jining to ask for the account book, and then to Han Jian's arrival. Han Jian actually found someone to transcribe more than 100 pages of accounts full of words, which must have been premeditated. You must know that the accounts of this era have no Arabic numerals or abbreviations, and they are all composed of Chinese characters one by one.

"This ......" Even Ma Jining panicked. Even if this is to get the accounts back, what is the use?

"The Sixth Prince. Bring another account book, this one is not. It should be another one. Han Jian said to Yang Xi.

"Oh."

Yang Xi handed over another account book, Han Jian took it, handed it to Ma Jining, and said, "Ma Bu Ling, take a look, it should be this one, right?" ”

Ma Jining glanced at Han Jian first, then took the account and opened it to take a look, it was really the one that was taken away by Han Jian, and it was basically the same as the one that Han Jian copied before.

"Yes." Ma Jining said.

Han Jian said with a smile: "Now that the general account of the Ma Department has been taken back, and you can go back to reconcile the accounts, then the minister can also take another copied account book first and slowly study and understand." ”

"Hmm." The Empress nodded slightly, she vaguely felt that things were not so simple. Since Han Jian found someone to copy one copy, why not take both copies, wouldn't it be to tell Ma Jining, I have a transcript of your general ledger in my hand, exposing my purpose?

In fact, Han Jian's purpose in doing this was to let the people of Kusi know his intentions.

What Han Jian did was much beyond Ma Jining's plan, although Ma Jining also felt that there was nothing to check in the general ledger, even if Han Jian got the original, it would have no effect on him, but now that Han Jian got the transcript, the initiative fell into the hands of others, which made him feel very uneasy. Even the subordinates behind him were glaring at him and asking him to retrieve the transcript.

Ma Jining said to the empress: "Your Majesty, the accounts are related to the secrets of the imperial court and cannot be left in the hands of outsiders, and the minister implores Your Majesty to let the East King return the transcript to the treasury secretary......"

Before Ma Jining's words fell, Han Jian said: "Ma Mining's words are not right, what does it mean that it can't fall into the hands of outsiders, what do you mean, I'm an outsider?" If I remember correctly, I am the concurrent manager of the Treasury Division, and besides, the sixth prince was ordered to supervise the storage of summer grain, which can be regarded as having official business. It can be said that the leader of the horse department lacks experience in Xia and the six princes, but even so, we will grasp the measure, and we will keep the transcript of the accounts properly, and after the summer grain is put into storage, we will return it as it is. Unless...... What's the ulterior in this account......"

"King Dong, don't spew blood!" Ma Jining glared at Han Jian angrily and said, "We are working for the imperial court, how can there be any ulterior ......?"

Han Jian turned his head sideways, and he didn't even look at it.

The empress said peacefully: "Well, in this case, the king of the east has returned the original of the general ledger, the purpose of the horse department has been achieved, and the matter of compiling the big account will not be delayed because of this, and the king of the east and the sixth prince can continue to help me supervise the storage of summer grain, which is a good thing in one fell swoop." It's just that afterwards the king remembered to return the transcript to the Kus......"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Han Jian smiled in his heart, even if you Ma Jining will come to sue, you can't do anything about me in the end. I'm just letting you know that the transcript is in my hands, what can you do with me? (To be continued......)
