Akara loves money, businessmen love money, and that's not news. But when you think you want to make a fortune, you have to send back the unexpected money, which is a little sad. He held a heavy cloth bag in his hand, which contained 85 silver coins, equivalent to 850 copper coins, and his heart was both weak and pity.

The weak-hearted thing is that he deliberately deceived the Life Like a Dream Mercenary Group, to be honest, his behavior is not a deception, but just a concealment of pushing the boat down the river. The reputation of the Life Like a Dream Mercenary Group is indeed quite good, but there are rumors quietly circulating in some business groups that the people of the Life Like a Dream Mercenary Group do not count and often count the commission as small. Akara tried, and sure enough, it did. For businessmen, saving money is making money, but I didn't expect that now the bitter master has come to the door.

"Here are 85 silver coins, please check it out with Captain Akara."

Aslan took the money bag, didn't look at it, just used his wrist to roughly estimate the amount, for him, it was already a blessing to get back a deposit, and one or two silver coins were missing: "Director Akara, after arriving at the destination, what is the remaining commission we should get?" ”

"2550 copper coins." Akara wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, the noon sun was already stinging, and his body was more prone to sweat because of his weak heart. Mercenaries are such a group, they are originally fierce and ruthless characters, life is like a dream, although the mercenary group has a good reputation, but how to say that Akara also deceived the other party in terms of amount, he is afraid, in case this group of people gets angry and decides to kill people to vent their anger, in this wilderness, except for their group of people, there is not even a ghost, who does he ask for help.

"That's no problem, Head Xie Lu, Xie Akara." Aslan took the money bag and left with a smile, in fact, he was also very weak-hearted, and the mercenary world paid attention to finality and commitment. The commission for the task is calculated by the people in their group, and then they ask for it from the merchant group, but now they 'regret it' afterwards, which is not an authentic thing from the point of view of the mercenary world.

Because both of them were very weak-hearted, nothing happened. Aslan excitedly ran to the carriage where Chen Xiansong was carrying a bag of money, and as soon as he entered, he laughed and said, "Little guy, Akara bastard really returned the money, 85 silver coins, enough for a month's clothing and rations for our mercenary group." ”

At this time, Chen Xiansong was lying on the car board, using a black charcoal pen to draw horizontal and vertical roads on the blank parchment. He traced for a while, and found that his hands would always be crooked from time to time, and he thought about it, with his natural ability, it was an idiotic act to draw on such a bumpy carriage, and he handed the parchment roll and charcoal to Bai Min: "Well, I'll leave it to you, Xiao Min." ”

Bai Min didn't say a word, took the parchment roll and paper, and slowly drew the black line, the line, the pen until it looked like a photocopier had made it.

Aslan was a little puzzled, parchment is a very expensive thing, how can you casually put out the black lines on it, and waste a parchment scroll, which is two copper coins, which is much more expensive than food: "You guys...... What is this doing? ”

Chen Xiansong replied slowly: "Your way of recording accounts is very unscientific, so we plan to help you get a relatively simple cashier's form." In this way, the profit and loss ratio of the mercenary group can be calculated more accurately. ”

Aslan was a little puzzled: "Science? This word did not appear in this era, or rather, did not pass down.

"You can understand it as professional, or full-time." Chen Xiansong continued: "Uncle, you came just in time, I want to ask, how many years, how many months, how many days, our way of recording, to be accurate to the year, month and day, when there is income, when there is expenditure, must be recorded in detail, so that when the account book is tested in the future, it is also more convenient." ”

Aslan touched the short hair on his head: "So troublesome? It was the first time he had heard that there was so much attention to bookkeeping, but he thought about it carefully, these two children were nobles, and the big family was particular about everything, and it was not uncommon for an illiterate commoner to not understand it.

However, he was a little worried: "Little guy, I know that the accounting method you use must be better than ours, but ...... I know that the two of you are not ordinary people, and the time you have been in our mercenary group will definitely not be long, and one day you will leave, and at that time, no one can read the account books. ”,

Chen Xiansong said indifferently: "That's not easy, I'll teach you how to do it......"

"What do you say...... Did I hear me right? Aslan's money bag fell on the board, he stroked his head with his hand, and groaned, "Let me confirm again, you are willing to teach us the knowledge of account management?" ”

Chen Xiansong nodded.

Aslan, who was confirmed, took a deep breath, as if he wanted to calm himself down, but it didn't seem to have any effect, and his voice trembled a little: "Little guy...... Are there any requirements for candidates? ”

Chen Xiansong was a little surprised by Aslan's gaffe at the moment: "There are no hard requirements, huh...... Don't be too old, younger children are more capable of learning. In addition, he must have enough time and not be too busy. Accounting involves a lot of professional knowledge, and if he can't read, I have to teach him Chinese...... The essence of writing is not something that can be understood overnight, and I have practiced calligraphy for more than ten years, but I have only scratched the surface. ”

"Wait a minute, you two." Aslan turned around and got out of the carriage and left in a hurry, not even bothering to bother with the money bag falling on the ground. Not long after, he dragged a very thin boy of about fifteen years old into the carriage, and then kicked one leg in the crook of the boy's leg, shouting, "Kneel quickly, apprentice." ”

With a deep inferiority in his eyes, the boy fell to one knee on the board, his head bowing deeply.

Chen Xiansong was stunned, and asked rhetorically for a while: "This is?" ”

Aslan's eyes shone with excitement: "He is my youngest child, and he has no talent to become a warrior or a sorcerer. In order for him to learn something, I kept him with me and helped out in the mercenary group. But among us mercenaries, if a person has neither knowledge nor strength, then he can only be a waste. I don't want my son to have no future, little one...... No, Your Excellency Chan Hin Song, if you want to find a student, then I hope that my son will have the honor of being your attendant. ”

In the new human era, the concept of equality for all people has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Chen Xiansong was no exception, he was uncomfortable when he was kneeling like this kid, he hurriedly went to help, and then said: "Get up, get up first." ”

The kid was just kneeling, trembling all over, and Chen Xiansong couldn't get him up after pulling hard a few times. Aslan watched quietly, but his clenched fists and sweat on his forehead showed that his mood was not as calm as he seemed to be. Chen Xiansong was about to speak again, when Bai Min suddenly pulled his sleeve: "In the dark ages, knowledge is very precious, more precious than life, you don't have to embarrass them to get up, let them do what they 'should' do." ”

Chen Xiansong thought about it, then sat back in his place, and said to the two: "I promise you, you can get up." ”

The boy stood up, motionless, his eyes still full of inferiority, but at the moment he seemed to have a faint glimmer of hope.

"Two. You guys take a rest first, and then if there's anything going on, just tell this little guy, by the way, his name is Alex. After saying this, he said to his child: "Son, you go outside the carriage now, and if your teacher asks for anything in the future, you must do it at the first time, and if anything goes wrong, even if the two Excellencies do not blame you, I will break your dog's legs." ”

Alex obediently got out of the carriage.

Aslan saluted and prepared to leave. After Chen Xiansong decided to teach his son accounting and writing, Aslan became extremely respectful of the two in front of him. Chen Xiansong saw that he was leaving at this time, and shouted: "Uncle Aslan, you forgot to take your money bag." ”

Aslan turned around, his eyes were full of excitement, but there was an embarrassed expression on his face, which made his expression very subtle: "Your Excellency Chen Xiansong, it can be seen that you should rarely leave your family, because you have a lot of common sense that you don't know very well. I don't know how it is in other countries, but in our Kate dynasty, even if you spend 1,000 gold coins, you can't learn both general literature and mathematics at the same time, it's not that there is not enough money, it's that no one wants to teach, writing and arithmetic together, this is the knowledge that the best stewards can have, this is the knowledge that can be used from generation to generation as an heirloom, from generation to generation, and can be used at any time. ”,

He sighed and continued: "There is a sorcerer named Campbell in our group, she is a relatively wealthy person, I heard that so far, she has paid nearly two hundred gold coins, and it took six years of study to learn to calculate within a hundred digits, I don't know how to thank you, this bag of coins, in fact, I don't even have the courage to send it away, because it is too light and too light. ”

After speaking, with such a subtle and embarrassed expression, Aslan got out of the carriage.

Chen Xiansong sat quietly for a while, he sighed and said: "I don't have enough experience, I shouldn't have called my uncle just now, let alone mentioned that money bag, I hurt the self-esteem of an adult, let a father, let a regiment commander be ashamed, alas." ”

Bai Min shook his head: "I don't understand." ”

The book "The Necessary Cultivation of Natural Men and the View of the World" once said that the friendship and exchanges between people can only be understood after they really step into the society. I finally understand what that means. Chen Xiansong continued: "By the way, that money bag will be handed over to you, Xiao Min, you are a combat cyborg, do you have recorded the knowledge of housekeeping assistance." ”

"Yes." Bai Min nodded: "Although we are combat cyborgs, not all the time there are wars, in order to let us play the maximum role, we also have recorded most of the knowledge of ordinary housekeeping cyborgs." ”

Chen Xiansong pulled a smile on Mu Ran's face: "Then from today on, my money will be all in your hands." Hehe, you will be my housekeeper from now on. ”

Bai Min seemed to be stunned for a while, and then replied: "Rejected, the housekeeper is the wife's meaning." ”

Chen Xiansong sighed and said, "Then you will be my wife, anyway, there are only two of us left in this world." ”

"Rejected." Bai Min shook his head vigorously: "A cyborg cannot marry a natural person, and in addition, although I retain my sexual function, I have eliminated the function of making eggs, so I can't have children." ”

Chen Xiansong leaned against the wall of the car, the effect of the emotional suppressant seemed to have weakened a lot, and this time, there was an obvious frustration and decadence in his voice: "If you can't have children, you can't have children, anyway, it's useless for me to stay in this world." Live casually for a while, find a chance to get Sister Bai's camera back, see what is recorded in it, and then it doesn't matter if you die, this world realm, after all, does not belong to us former humans. ”

At this time, Bai Min approached Chen Xiansong, holding his face with a pair of white little hands, and then she leaned in, the two of them were so close that the sound of breathing could be heard.

"I don't want you to die." Bai Min's voice trembled a little: "My task is to protect you, if you die, I will also die, I was only 'born' for one day, I want to live......"

Chen Xiansong was stunned, and after a while, he slowly hugged the slender girl: "I'm sorry, Xiaomin, I was wrong, I will live a good life in the future, marry more than a dozen wives, you are my biggest housekeeper, help me take care of a lot of children, and then help me manage a lot of lovers, let them all listen to your ............"
