It's not that someone else is bad at arithmetic, obviously! It's a deliberate false account made by someone else.

At first, Confucius thought that the old accountant might have miscalculated. Later, I realized that it was not that the old union had miscalculated, but that it was intentional. It's not just that this ledger is wrong, but! All ledgers are wrong.

All the ledgers are fake accounts.

The accounts reported below are also false accounts. The old accountant above knew that it was a fake account, so! It's a nonsense calculation.

Of course! There must still be real accounts. These fake accounts are just for show, to deal with Lu Zhaogong and others.

In fact! The treasury was manipulated by Ji Pingzi's subordinates, and the property in the treasury was taken by them and others to do business.

The chaos in the country of Lu can be seen.

Originally! Yang Hu and the others wanted to move the accounts over and toss Confucius, so that he would be tired and lie down. Outcome! met Confucius's seriousness.

Confucius knew that he was making false accounts, but he was very serious. If you let me count me, I will count, and if you ask me to manage the warehouse, I will manage the warehouse. I will do whatever you tell me to do, and I will be serious and responsible.

Just right! You can calculate how much inventory there is in the national grain depot, whether it can guarantee the royal food, and whether it can guarantee the grain reserves in the face of natural and man-made disasters in the country.

The result is conceivable, Confucius was soon "put on vacation".

"You're working too hard, you're so tired! It's time for a vacation! ”

That's it! Confucius enjoyed the "paid leave" of later generations, and when he went home to teach, he could also receive the Lu State of Lu.

At this time, the Qi official clan is about to give birth, and he also needs someone to take care of him. So! The leader asked him to take paid leave, and he agreed. Furthermore! He also had a hunch that he might not be able to get along with the treasury.

Go home, go home! Anyway, I know, the inside story on the Treasury side.

Knowing that Confucius was "fired", Fang Jishi was very concerned and rushed over.

How exactly he was fired, Confucius would not say it to the Qi Guan, let alone to his two concubines.

"Lu Guowei also! Lu Gongwei also! Seeing Fang Jishi asked, Confucius lamented.

"What's wrong? What's going on? Fang Jishi asked.

"The treasury of the country of Lu is empty! Empty! Confucius lowered his voice.

Seeing that Qi Guan's family was standing aside, and the two concubines also came over, he looked a little scared.

"Go down, all of you! Take the babies to play. Fang Jishi waved his arm towards the two concubines and said.

Seeing this, the two concubines walked away with interest.

Qi Guanshi paused for a moment, found that the atmosphere was very wrong, and walked away with a sense of humor.

If something special hadn't happened, they wouldn't have been separated.

And also! Qi Guan's family had already seen that the husband's expression was wrong. Since one day, the husband has something on his mind. She was anxious, but she didn't dare to ask.

"They asked me to keep a count of the accounts, and they were all fake. Later, I was asked to take over the warehouse, and after I went, I started counting the inventory, and as a result! They stopped it! ……”

Confucius talked about his experience as an accountant during this time.

"This, this, this?" When Fang Jishi heard this, he was also shocked.

"Lu Guowei also! Lu Gongwei also! Woooooo ”

"Lu Gong doesn't know about this?" Fang Jishi asked knowingly.

"How could Lu Gong know? The current state of Lu has four powers separated. Lu Gong is ostensibly the monarch of Lu State, but in fact, his power in Lu State is very small.

You also know that in the first few years of Duke Lu, the people of the three major families often found reasons to kill people in Duke Lu's territory. Outcome! As a result, Lu Gong has a territory but no population.

And that's not all! In terms of being in charge of the government, Lu Gong also said that it was not counted, it was Ji Pingzi and others who had the final say.

Right now! I've heard! Ji Pingzi and the others are no longer in court, they are in court in their own homes, and they have anything to discuss at home. Only when there is a need for coordination, they collude with each other.

Lu Gong's court has truly become a loner! Heard! Deserted! When I was working in the treasury, I heard those officials laughing at Lu Gong behind his back......"

Fang Jishi shook his head in his heart and smiled bitterly: What else can I do? History has been frozen, and Lu Zhaogong is a failure. No matter how much you help him, you can't change history.

"Let you rest, you will rest! Anyway! They pay you, don't they? ”

"But me? I feel ashamed! I didn't do anything, but I took the money of the state. No! This is not the country's money, this is the people's tax, the people's blood and sweat! ……”

Fang Jishi interrupted: "If you don't take them the same, they will waste the same time!" ”

"But me? I'm upset, huh? ”

"It's good!" Fang Jishi persuaded: "You have a good fortune and have no worries about your life, and you can run your private school with peace of mind." Isn't it? ”

"But me?" Confucius wanted to say something, but he was helpless when he thought about it, so he didn't say anything.

Oh, yes! You are ashamed of it, but what about others? Others do the same. So! Don't take it for nothing

Alas! Think of it as the people are funding me to start a private school!

With this income, the family has no worries about food and clothing, and they can run the school with peace of mind. Right! Think of it as the people are funding me to start a private school!

Take it from the people, use it for the people! I will give back to the society.

After thinking about this, Confucius's heart was also reassured.

"I want to see Lu Gong!" Confucius felt that this matter must be told to Duke Lu in person no matter what. Only then can he truly feel at ease. Otherwise! As courtiers, they are not dutiful.

"At this critical time, it's not appropriate, right?"

Fang Jishi stopped: "You want to think? You went to see Lu Gong at this time, Ji Pingzi, they still didn't say that you went to sue? Isn't it? Furthermore! Things are like this, and Lu Gong can't do anything, what's the use of you telling him? ……”

"Nope! As a courtier, you must be clear to the Lord. ”

"But? It's useless, is it? Can't change reality? ”

"But me?"

Fang Jishi stretched out his hand to stop him: "I can help you convey the situation to Lu Gong, so it's okay, right?" You can't go! There you go! You may not have it, you know? And also! If Lu Gong and Ji Pingzi get into trouble, Ji Pingzi and the others will only hate you? ”

"But this?"

"We must not intensify the contradictions, but handle them skillfully! Got it? ”

"But me?"

Confucius also wanted to say that under the prevention of Fang Jishi, it would be forgotten.

Come to think of it, that's exactly what happened! What's the good thing about intensifying the contradictions? Does that mean you're faithful? For the sake of loyalty, you make a disturbance in a country because of this, which is contrary to your original intention.

"You must help me convey it to Lu Gong! Such! I'll be at peace! I have fulfilled my duty as a courtier. Yes! Big brother, you're right! Contradictions must not be exacerbated! You can't let the country of Lu be divided in order to show your loyalty! Thank you, big brother! Thank you! ”

Before leaving, Confucius sent the square cornerstone to the gate of the courtyard and said with great gratitude.

"I'll tell him! I believe! Lu Gong knows something! Rest assured! ”

"Big brother! Lu Guo and Lu Gong are counting on you! ”

"And your faithfulness! Hehehe......"
