The widow Chen has been working in the vineyard in the Zhuangzi since she entered the Zhuangzi, and she is conscientious and very diligent, and the old Liu of the vineyard saw that she was a widow with a son, and life was not easy, so she taught what she had learned from time to time, and Gao Shiman also taught them pruning and shaping according to the season, so she learned very seriously. Because the grapes were fruitless for the first two years, in addition to taking care of the grapes, Widow Chen also went to other fields in Zhuangzi to help with work.

Once, when she found a dead cat in the middle of the shed, it was rotten and smelly, so she buried it under the nearest vine, and she found that the vine grew better than the others. This time, Gao Shiman mobilized everyone to provide information or something, so she had the courage to say this little trick she had discovered, and Gao Shiman was very happy to learn that it was Widow Chen who was the first to submit.

In fact, there are people in the countryside who understand these things and say that if there is a rotting animal corpse buried under the vine, the grapes will be sweeter, Gao Shiman does not know whether there is a scientific basis for this statement, but she understands that the sweetness of the fruit is closely related to phosphate fertilizer, and it is not uncommon for animal carcasses to be converted into phosphate fertilizer.

Gao Shiman not only cashed in the remuneration for Widow Chen, but also explained to everyone again the truth that farmhouse fertilizer needs to be rotted.

Widow Chen was so happy that she went home and hugged her son and cried, she didn't expect that through her hard work, she would be able to live like this, not to mention, and earn extra money.

Contentment leads to happiness, which is often the case for simple working people, but it is difficult for those who are rich and powerful to feel happy.

Money can buy happiness, but it can't buy happiness. Happiness is short-lived, like a flash in the pan; Happiness is eternal, like the first bloom of the germ.

In late March, Empress Wei, who has been in poor health, fell ill and was always in danger, the imperial doctor restrained his hands, the emperor was anxious, and the king of Wei took advantage of the queen mother's sober time to enlighten and said: "Queen mother, the imperial doctor has tried various treatment methods for you, and the good medicine has been used a lot, your body is still not improving, why not play the emperor of the son, pardon the prisoners of the world and surpass people into the Tao, I hope to be blessed by God to bless the queen mother?" ”

Empress Wei is the emperor's wife, has always been smart and erudite, she weakly said to the king of Wei: "Death and life have life, each is safe and heavenly, this is not added by man, if the practice of blessing can prolong life, then I have never been evil and small, if it is useless to do good, what blessing can be sought?" Forgiveness is a major matter of the country, and it is a big matter, Buddha, Taoist, your father often said that it was to preserve the religion of the foreign way, and he often worried that believing too much would become a disadvantage in governing the country. Now how can you disturb the laws of the world because of me, and you must not act in vain? ”

When the emperor learned that King Wei had refused to ask for forgiveness in front of the queen, King Xuan Wei entered the palace and said to him: "There are many ignorant people in the world, but there are few smart people, smart people do not do bad things, but ignorant people like to break the law." Whoever gives the will of forgiveness will surely benefit some lawbreakers. As the old saying goes, the husband who plots the small benevolence, the thief of the great benevolence, as the emperor, the pursuit of small favors and small favors will inevitably hurt the great benevolence and righteousness. ”

When King Wei heard the emperor tell him about this, he knew that the emperor knew about his mother's request for forgiveness, and he regretted it very much. The East Palace is in the air, and the father will definitely inspect these sons in secret, although the father treats him well, but it is really not appropriate for him to feel that he is lacking in ability.

Seeing that he was stunned, the emperor continued: "Emperor Wu of Liang has granted amnesty many times a year, and finally caused the overthrow of the regime. Now that the four seas are peaceful, courteous and righteous are prosperous, and there are countless graces, there is no need to pardon the prisoners, and you should not mention this matter again in the future. ”

The king of Wei was ashamed and only replied, and the emperor sighed: "Your mother's condition is getting worse day by day, I have been mentally prepared, you can go to the palace to accompany her more!" ”

The medicine stone is ineffective, and it can only be left to fate. At the end of the month, when Gao Shiman's newspaper was about to be printed, the news of the death of the Empress came. Qin Er immediately organized a re-revision of the staff, relegated the advertisement of Qifeng Academy to recruit students, and replaced it with the news of the queen's death on the front page.

The whole country mourned, but Qin Er took advantage of the access of the post station to distribute the printed newspapers to all parts of the country, and the smallest coverage unit was the village, one for the village head, one for the bulletin board, and one for those with private schools. The spark of a spark can start a prairie fire, and now the Times has three copies a month, marking the price of one article per month, but it is distributed free of charge, and in the near future, when the people take the initiative to see and understand, it is half the success.

The emperor's obituary is eye-catching, accompanied by a solemn and solemn speech to tell the world, and the emperor is deeply moved by the mourning and remembrance between the lines, and tears are in his eyes.

The Si people have passed away, and they will chase away in the end.

The emperor calmed down and looked at it again, the newspaper not only has agricultural proverbs and agricultural techniques, but also some folk slang and stories, and the current affairs must be the material provided by the Chongxian Pavilion, and the emperor nodded with satisfaction while looking at it and said to himself: "Well, it's good." "This tabloid is passed on to the world, which not only allows farmers all over the world to better learn agricultural techniques, but also allows people in the world to peek into the leopard and understand the world's major events.

The emperor read every word in this newspaper carefully, and when he saw the story and jokes, he could also smile. When the second issue of the newspaper was placed in front of the emperor, the emperor smiled again, the big Daoxianglou advertisement, this Qin Er can really adapt to local conditions, this time the newspaper in addition to agricultural information, but also began to teach Arabic numerals.

The emperor's heart moved, and he called Liang Yanfeng of the household department and asked, "That Shiman's bookkeeping method, I don't know if it is feasible?" ”

Liang Yanfeng said sincerely: "The emperor doesn't know anything, the bookkeeping minister has also learned, and he also teaches the bookkeeping at home, don't you say, it has greatly improved the efficiency of bookkeeping, especially the ability to produce two reports per month, which is very interesting." ”

"Interesting?" The emperor felt inexplicable, this accounting method is nothing more than a record of account flow one by one, how much more meaning can it be?

Liang Yanfeng was anxious to tell the emperor the meaning of this accounting method, if it could arouse the emperor's approval, then he could order the world to use this accounting method as the legal accounting method commonly used in national accounting, so that he would also be indispensable.

"Your Majesty, the minister will draw two tables for you, please make someone prepare pen and ink", Liang Yanfeng couldn't say the beauty of this, so he had to show up to say it.

"Feng pen and ink", the emperor saw that the head of the household was so eager, and he couldn't help but look forward to it a little in his heart.

Liang Yanfeng sat on the desk and drew while thinking, and after a while, he handed the two tables to the emperor's case: "Your Majesty, you see, the minister took the situation of the general surplus of the treasury last year as an example, and drew these two tables, this table is called the income statement, from this table, you can see how much income last year, how much expenditure, how much you spend, and how much ...... surplus."

The emperor also learned Arabic notation in his spare time, and as soon as Liang Yanfeng explained this table, he immediately understood, and he pressed the excitement in his heart and said: "What about the table?" ”

"Your Majesty, this sheet is even more interesting, it is called the balance sheet, you see, this monetary fund represents the amount of silver in the inventory; This fixed asset indicates the amount of immovable assets available in the treasury...... There is also this undistributed profit, which represents the total surplus of previous years plus last year, Your Majesty, do you mean this? Liang Yanfeng finished speaking in one breath, in addition to being proud, he also had a great sense of accomplishment.

The emperor vaguely understood the difference between these two tables, but he didn't know how to express it, he looked at Liang Yanfeng and said, "Tell me, what is the difference between these two tables?" ”

Liang Yanfeng hurriedly said: "Young Mrs. Shen once said to everyone that men are like balance sheets, and women are men's income statements...... "He didn't know if he said this, whether the emperor would blame him for the inappropriate analogy, so he only looked at the emperor's face carefully.

The emperor pretended not to see it and encouraged: "Oh, what did she say, you can tell me." ”

Liang Yanfeng breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "She said, the reason why men are balance sheets is because the world relies on capital and strength to speak, but it is not okay to just look at the amount of assets, but also to look at the structure, a man with relatively strong own assets has enough confidence, on the contrary, a man with too much debt, even if he has more money in his hand, he will always be unable to straighten his waist, and sooner or later he will be crushed by debt......"

"Haha......" the emperor laughed heartily, "it makes sense!" ”

Isn't it reasonable to say, what Gao Shiman said to everyone is the most famous metaphor of Teacher Tang Jingping in his previous life. Teacher Tang Jingping is also a master in the industry, Gao Shiman stands on the shoulders of giants, can he not be high!

Liang Yanfeng saw that the emperor was happy, and said with a smile: "It's not over yet!" ”

"Keep talking, keep talking!" The emperor smiled.

"Yes", Liang Yanfeng swallowed his spit and continued: "Why do you say that women are men's income statements, first of all, the money earned by men is spent by women, and secondly, the owners, managers, creditors, and debtors of the industry have an expectation of the output of the industry, just like men want to have more women." When looking at a woman, you can't just look at the appearance, but also look at its structure and connotation. ”

After hearing this, the emperor nodded frequently, Liang Yanfeng cleared his throat and continued: "A profit statement with a lot of surplus does not mean that it is all cash, if there are a large number of bad debts, then this is just a beautiful empty shell, just like a man raises a beautiful woman, but it is ...... ...... with other men That, Your Majesty, I am afraid that if you say this, you will stain your ears. ”

After hearing this, there was something the emperor didn't understand, he showed a knowing smile, and then said, "What you said makes sense." ”

He took the two watches to the front again and took a good look at them, looked up and said: "Qin Shi Huang's weights and measures and currency system to unify the whole country are all over the world, the cars are on the same track, the books are the same, and Qin's tyranny destroyed his country, but his achievements have also been passed on to future generations, and they cannot be erased." I intend to use this bookkeeping method as the country's statutory bookkeeping law, and first find two places to pilot, what does Aiqing think? ”

Liang Yanfeng's spirit was greatly lifted: "The emperor is wise, and the minister thinks that he can pilot it in the capital first." ”

The emperor sighed for a moment and said: "Then choose Henan Province to pilot at the same time!" ”
