Lin Feng was attracted by Liu Tian's voice and stepped forward to take a look.

Beneath her is a movable slate.

Because it is a little heavy, it is a little difficult for Liu to pull it.

Lin Feng stepped forward and directly took the stone slab, and then opened it.

There were two tattered ledgers.

How can there be an account book in this place? Liu Tian and Lin Feng glanced at each other.

Lin Feng took out the ledger from it.

There are also certain moisture-proof measures under this slate, so the account book is not damp, and the handwriting inside is still very clear.

Lin Feng took out the account book and looked at it: "This should be the account book of the past few years, and there is a specific time behind each account, it should be a real account book." ”

"A real ledger?" Liu Qian felt a little strange: "Shouldn't the account books be in the account room?" Why is it in such a place? ”

Lin Feng also felt a little strange, he had never heard of the loss of the account book in the account room, why did this thing appear here? Moreover, the contents of this ledger are not continuous, but seem to have been picked out of somewhere.

After a while, the two of them glanced at each other, and then decided to go to the account room to look for it first.

However, after looking around the account room, the bookkeeper said that the contents of the account book should be true, but the time of these accounts is somewhat suspicious.

It doesn't seem to be a continuous time, but if you want to check it, you have to take out all the accounts from the previous ten years.

Lin Feng and Liu Tian glanced at each other, if this audit matter involved the first ten years, what a lot of data it would be.

"If the young master wants to check the accounts for such a long time, it is better to find more people to come back, there are only a few people in the mansion who know how to settle accounts, if it is only people in the mansion to check the accounts, it will definitely take a lot of time." The bookkeeper said this, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Lin Feng didn't know what to do, this audit was definitely going to be checked, but the longer the time dragged on, the more time those relevant people would have to cover up something and deal with it.

Just when Mr. Bookkeeper and Lin Feng were both helpless, Liu Tian suddenly remembered the double-entry bookkeeping method.

"You don't need to find so many people, there are enough people in the Hou Mansion, but we have to change the way we check the accounts."

"Do you have a way?" Lin Feng didn't want to go outside to find someone, after all, this is the matter of the Hou Mansion, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, if he went outside to find someone to check the accounts, it would definitely be publicized, and the face of the Hou Mansion would not be able to be saved.

"I have a way to quickly compare the difference between income and expenditure, and if there is anything wrong with it, I can see at a glance." As he spoke, Liu Tian told Lin Feng and Mr. Bookkeeper the method of double-entry bookkeeping.

"The small bookkeeper has been doing the accounting room for so long, and I never thought of such a way! The bookkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up. He glanced at Liu Tian, and his eyes were full of admiration.

He had only heard that Liu Tian was a woman with excellent cooking skills, and now it seemed that there was more to it than that.

Then they quickly called a few people who knew how to settle accounts, and a few people locked them in the account room, and sorted out all the accounts according to Liu Tian's double-entry bookkeeping method.

After about half a day's effort, Lin Feng and the others had already figured out that these accounts were indeed problematic.

In the past five years, at least about five million taels of silver have disappeared from the Hou Mansion.

Where such a large sum of money went, there was no way to find out even the newly found ledger.

Liu Tian and Lin Feng looked at the deficit data, and only felt a headache.

"Now it is still necessary to keep quiet in the Hou Mansion, if I find someone to find out, there will definitely be chaos." It was only rectified before, and now if something happens again, most of the people in the Hou Mansion will start to guess if something happened in the Hou Mansion.

If this person's heart is in turmoil, it is most likely to be in turmoil.

Lin Feng knew this, and Liu Tian naturally knew this as well.

"Don't worry, it's inconvenient for you to come forward to solve it now, what this Hou Mansion should look like is what it should be." Liu Qian already had a plan in his heart.

She turned to those involved in the audit and said, "Today you just came to help settle the Zhuangzi outside this quarter?" ”

Lin Feng had already said on the first day that Liu Tian came to the Hou Mansion that she was the future head of the Hou Mansion, so there was nothing that Liu Tian said that those subordinates did not listen.

After leaving the account, no one told me what had happened today.

On the other hand, Liu Tian knew that it was inconvenient for Lin Feng to come forward to find out the whereabouts of these coins, so she asked the people in the restaurant to go out to find out.

There was an army in the Hou Mansion, and this army was always in the barracks outside the city.

Liu Qian thought that when she looked up the accounts before, she rarely mentioned the army, so she always felt that there might be something wrong with the army, so she asked people to check it.

However, the person she sent out was beaten and came back injured.

"What's going on?" Liu Tian didn't expect this to be the result: "I just asked you to go outside the army to have a look, if you can, ask the people who guard the door, see what they eat and use every day, how did it become like this?" ”

Is there a conflict with the people in the army?

The man only frowned: "I did what you said, but when they asked me why I asked why I was asking like this, I said that I was sent by the prince of the Hou Mansion to inquire, but I don't know why, as soon as they mentioned the Hou Mansion, they were extremely excited, and they started directly." ”

So arrogant? Are they clearly the army of the Hou Mansion, why do they have such great hostility towards the Hou Mansion?

Liu thought about it, so she asked people to prepare a carriage, and she went to the army herself.

"Who?!" The soldiers guarding outside directly intercepted Liu Tian's carriage.

Liu Tian stepped down from the carriage and saluted: "I am from the Hou Mansion, and I want to inquire about the recent expenses of this army." ”

The guard was very excited when he heard about the Hou Mansion, but seeing that Liu Tian was a woman and the clothes on her body were relatively luxurious, he was very unconvinced and called their leader.

The leader came over and glanced at Liu Tian: "Isn't the eldest prince of the Hou Mansion already in there?" Now it's Lin Feng's son who is in charge, I haven't seen you, who are you? ”

"I'm a friend of Lin Feng's son." Liu Tian didn't know what to say, Lin Feng didn't say anything about her outside.

It's just that she didn't expect that when she heard the word "friend", the leader actually sneered: "Friend? I heard that Prince Lin Feng seems to have brought someone back, saying that he is the head of the Hou Mansion in the future, I'm afraid it's you, right? ”

"I followed Lin Feng back to the Hou Mansion, I don't know what Lin Feng said." Liu Tian didn't know how to answer for a while, but she felt strange in her heart, why did this person care so much about her identity?

Although it is said that this is the army of the Hou Mansion, and the affairs in the Hou Mansion are naturally managed by the people in the Hou Mansion, but now the hostility of the generals is really obvious.

"You don't know? That little prince Lin Feng has not taken care of the affairs of this army since he returned to the Hou Mansion, what is it to send a woman like you now? You are just the fiancée of Lin Feng's son, and you are not the real head of the Hou Mansion, you are just a woman who is attached to Lin Feng's son, what qualifications do you have to show off here? ”

Show off? Liu Tian felt a little ridiculous, she had just come over, who was the one who showed off her might?

She frowned: "Please pay attention to your own words, what is the meaning of showing off your might, I came here today to inspect the army for Lin Feng, this is the army of the Hou Mansion, why can't you look at it or not check it?" ”

The general stood at the door, originally thinking that Liu Tian was a weak woman, and he would flee away in fear after two scares, but he didn't expect that now Liu Tian would question him with a cold face.

After a while, the general sneered: "You want to patrol the army? ”

"Naturally." Liu Tian glanced at the situation in the barracks from a distance, although some of these soldiers were practicing, they looked yellow and thin, and they looked like energetic and energetic soldiers: "I still have something I want to ask you." ”

Seeing the puzzled look on Liu Tian's face, the general also calmed down, could it be that this woman really came to care about these soldiers?

Also, doesn't the Hou Mansion know about the current situation of the army? Otherwise, why would this woman have such a look?

After a while, Liu Qian loosened his frowning brows: "Is there something going on in the army?" I think those soldiers are all yellow-skinned and thin, and people in the army shouldn't be like this. ”

Only then did the general let down his defensive attitude: "You come in with me first, it's better to go to me to talk about some things." ”

Liu Tian followed the general, but the coachman and other subordinates failed to follow.

"You're not afraid?" The general took Liu into the main camp: "I just treated you so badly, aren't you afraid that I brought you here to plot against you?" ”

"I don't think you have any plans against me." Liu Tian found a place to sit down, but he was not restrained: "There is indeed something wrong with this army, right?" It's a financial problem, isn't it? ”

From the beginning, this general was a little resentful when he heard that she was from the Hou Mansion.

And these soldiers are like this, so she guessed that it was because the Hou Mansion did not give them enough money that they would be like this.

"Hou Mansion, it has been a long time since the money needed by this army has been allocated, and now the soldiers not only have to train themselves, but also farm their own fields, and there is no source of silver, and the soldiers have not eaten a full meal for a long time." After the general finished speaking, he sighed slightly.

Liu Tian frowned, why didn't the army raised by the Hou Mansion allocate funds to the army?

"Didn't any of you report this matter to the Hou Mansion?" Liu asked.

But if something goes wrong in the army, doesn't anyone think of talking to the Hou Mansion about this kind of thing?

"Hou Mansion?" The general sneered.
