Liu Rumei was interested in the arithmetic taught by Zhu Lin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info pestered Zhu Lin every night to teach her. Zhu Lin took out all the ink in his stomach and taught it to Liu Rumei. Liu Rumei is indeed smart, and she quickly mastered some accounting methods in later generations. And after Liu Rumei printed the book, Wang Guangxu, who was known as the first calligrapher, was embarrassed. The only downside is the traditional Chinese characters. Zhu Lin looked at it with big eyes, and from time to time he would ask Wang Guangxu to help translate.

The people at the yamen also came to find a few things, saying that Zhu Lin did not pay taxes for the things he made. He also went out to dig wells without permission. It's a bunch of reasons anyway. In one word, it is to find a way to ask for money. At the beginning came two hard ones. was settled by Zheng Jiu alone. Later, the people who came back from the yamen became very wise. didn't beat or scold, and got two tax collectors to stand guard for Zhu Lin every day. You said you don't do business, okay, I'll stand at your door every day, and I won't go in. Just look at your home. Some of them came to buy wells, and we persuaded them to leave. Zhu Lin didn't get tired of it. Later, Zheng Jiu found the man in the flying fish suit and drank it twice, stuffing some silver. The tax collectors then stopped. did not stand guard for Zhu Lin again.

The end of the month is coming soon, Zhu Lin calculated, it has been a month since he came to this world. For a month, it rained a little, but there were more and more displaced people. are crowded outside the city. In order to prevent the displaced people from entering the city, the prefect yamen had to set up a porridge factory outside the city. More and more people are being displaced. The food in the city is rising. Although Zhu Lin has a little silver, in Zhu Chengli's words, it is a drop in the bucket. Inflation still puts a lot of pressure on Zhu Lin.

Today's weather is gloomy and dreary, as if it is going to rain. Wang Guangxu asked Zhu Lin to pray for rain in the first two days. Zhu Lin said Wang Guangxu, that is superstition. I pray that if it rains, I won't become a dragon king. So I didn't go. It's going to rain today, and it's uncomfortable. Although it is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is still very hot.

Zhu Lin stood in front of the sand table in the west wing. Think about it carefully. Now I have some silver on hand. But in the city, there are so many people, and it's really not enough to eat, drink, and chew. There is no long-term and fixed source of income. Pressurized water wells are being built, and pressurized water wells are already being imitated. There are no patents in this era. Anyone can do it. This is also one of the predicaments that caused Zhu Lin now. Even if no one imitates it, once the drought eases, the pressurized water wells will not sell well. So Zhu Lin thought about it, and after discussing it with Zhu Chengli, he made a decision that surprised everyone. You have to go outside the city to buy land.

Zhu Lin wanted to go outside the city. Buy a piece of land and build a house. I don't want to stay in the city anymore. This is still Zhu Lin's desire to be a small landlord. After all, Zhu Lin came out of the countryside in his previous life. Moreover, the great leader said that if you go to the countryside, you will make great achievements in the vast world.

But the most critical thing is that there is now a serious land annexation. You don't see, the fat people are hundreds of acres and hundreds of acres of land. Now the most important thing is where to buy the land. Buy a better piece of land, it's too expensive. Zhu Lin couldn't afford it. Cheaper land. Zhu Lin was unwilling. Counsel comes and goes. Zhu Lin was also worried.

In fact, the best place is the canal. The land was all fat and outside. Oh, I forgot to tell everyone, the fat man's surname is Zhang. Everyone is familiar with the coming and going of buying wells and drilling wells. But Zhu Lin still likes to call people fat behind his back. In Zhu Lin's words, it is to make the fat man sound good and happy. These days, there are not many fat people. When you say that others are rich and fat, you are complimenting others. It's not like Zhu Lin's original world. If you want to say that someone else is fat, people can hate you to death. (Duoduo is a little fat man, losing weight).

"Uncle Zhu, you go and ask the fat man, if he sells the triangular mountain land west of the canal, and how much it will cost if he sells it. There was no food in that area, and it was surrounded by stone mountains. If he's not stupid, he should be sold, right? ”

"Young master, what are you buying that little land for? There wasn't even a tree on it except for stones. You see, the terrain is not good. There are stone mountains on one side of the canal, and dirt mountains on the other side of Sicheng. Only close to the canal is a bit flat. And it's still a reed. It costs a lot of money just to open up the wasteland." Zhu Chengli said.

"Uncle Zhu, you go and ask, if the price is high, forget it, you don't necessarily have to want this land." Zhu Lin said.

"Okay, I'll ask the fat guy tomorrow. I guess he might sell it, but I don't know how much it will cost?".

"Try your best". Zhu Lin said. In fact, Zhu Lin takes a fancy to this place. Facing the water on both sides, there is a triangular terrain in the middle. There are mountains on both sides, and it is flat near the canal. The canal is a tributary of the canal, which is blocked by mounds on all sides. It's also strange how to just those stone mountains. The rest are all mounds? Zhu Lin asked Zhu Chengli this question. Zhu Chengli didn't know what was going on. Later, it was Liu Rumei who gave the answer, it turned out that the canal was flooded and had to be diverted. Ordinary people built embankments to block the waterways. Those mounds are the embankments that were originally built. This Liu Rumei is the head snake in the end. The terrain of the characters in this place is really well understood.

Only then did Zhu Lin know. No wonder the mounds surrounded the canal, it turned out to be like this. That's a lot of work. Liu Rumei also told Zhu Lin that this must have been hundreds of years. When I was a child, I had a lot of water. The people of Sicheng also went to reinforce it. It's just that the water situation has not been much worse in the past two years. There is no need to reinforce.

Zhu Lin also panicked after hearing this. A long drought will be followed by a great flood. We all know this truth, what to do if it gets waterlogged. Now Zhu Lin is thinking about this problem. Everyone looked at Zhu Lin. Please Zhu Lin make up his mind. Zhu Lin thought about it for a long time and was ruthless.

"Just buy this piece of land, Uncle Zhu, you will go and talk to the fat man about this tomorrow, try to negotiate it, but it can't exceed five hundred taels. If the fat staff doesn't sell it, forget it." Zhu Lin said.

"Well, okay, I'll go tomorrow. That's right, young master. The little old man can no longer manage the accounts, you see that there is so much money now, you see if you find a bookkeeper to help manage it first, I still have no problem with dozens of hundreds of taels. The point is that it is now more than 1,000 taels of silver. It's a lot more difficult for the little old man to manage."

"Uncle Zhu, you. Forget it, we'll talk about that later." Zhu Lin said.

"Young master, there is an official looking for you outside, please go to the front yard and have a look." Chang Yulin shouted in a panic in the courtyard.

"Panic, the sky is falling. Zheng Jiu yelled at Chang Yulin there.

"What are you yelling, go, look at it". Zhu Lin finished speaking. Hulala, a group of people hugged Zhu Lin and went to the front yard.

In the front yard, a sergeant in leather armor stood in the courtyard. The helmet on his head was particularly eye-catching in the sun, and there was a small flag behind the leather armor. This Chang Yulin is too bad at being a person. Why don't you let people rest in the hall? Zhu Chengli is an old soldier in the end. Zhu Lin whispered in his ear: "This is called a herald." It should be someone from the big handsome's side. ”

"Dare to ask this military master, what's the matter with the kid." Zhu Lin walked up and hugged his fists.

"Dare to ask if this is Young Master Zhu?" A muffled thunderous voice came.

"It's the boy, may I ask the military master what's the matter. Why don't you go inside and have a cup of tea? Zhu Lin said and pleased.

"You are Young Master Zhu, you don't need to drink tea. The military situation is urgent. This is the letter that Zhu Senjun asked me to bring to you. As he spoke, he took out a letter from the burden behind him and handed it to Zhu Lin. Zhu Lin dragged people to drink tea. Later, Zhu Chengli stopped him. Zhu Chengli gave the sergeant two taels of silver. The sergeant raised his hand and left. Zhu Lin took everyone to the door to see each other. I saw the sergeant mounted on his horse. The sound of "driving" is gone. This is in the city. How can it be so fast. If this is in the afterlife, the proper driver's license will be deducted.

Zhu Lin asked Zhu Chengli, this sergeant is so fast on horseback in the city. What if this bumps into someone? Zhu Chengli told Zhu Lin that the small flag behind the sergeant represents. This is the herald, also known as the herald. It is used to deliver messages. The one who planted the flag behind his back was exempted from the crime of hitting and killing someone. Zhu Lin listened for a long time before he understood. Isn't this the 800-mile rush of the TV show? This big brother is really, he actually used this to send letters. I scared myself.

Zhu Lin took the letter and walked to the study. When I took the letter, a silver ticket of one hundred taels fell out. Zhu Lin put it away. I picked up the letter and read it carefully.

"Second brother and third brother: seeing faith is like enlightenment. I think it's been a month since I left my second brother and third brother. I don't know how the second brother and the third brother are good? The second brother is stupid and stupid, and the third brother has to take care of it. The third brother has to hold the house. There were a hundred taels of silver. The third brother used it to subsidize the family. There is a great drought in the world, the people are not able to make a living, the northern slaves look to the south, and the third brother's silver money must be used carefully. For example, if you have nowhere to rely on, go to Lingnan. Everything in the Sicheng home can be discarded. I have to protect the second brother and the third brother. The original army went to Huaicheng and wanted to return. However, the imperial court ordered the marshal to go on an expedition to recover the lost territory. So he had no choice but to follow the army on the expedition. Brother is left and right with the handsome, don't hang up. The city has now been recaptured. The traffic is inconvenient. Don't go back to the book. The third brother should study more sages. On the day when my brother returns, I hope that the third brother will enter the department. The book is in a hurry, and it is not exhaustive

Brother Zhu Zheng, in the autumn of the second year of Dahua.

"Hey. It is estimated that I will not be able to come back for a while. Come back or take me to Lingnan." Zhu Lin muttered in his mouth.

"Young master, I'll pinch my fingers, you're here. The beacon fire lasted for three months, and the family letter was worth 10,000 dollars. But your eldest brother may not come back." Wang Guangxu came up and said.

"Get out. ”

"Alas, come back and call Brother Zheng Jiu and Uncle Zhu to the study. Call Liu Rumei too".

In a few moments, the people were all together. Zhu Chengli even brought the account book.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's talk about it! Tomorrow, Uncle Zhu will go to the fat staff to ask about the land, and try to negotiate it as much as possible. Also, Uncle Zhu may have to go out and run around often in the future, which is already very hard. Uncle Zhu himself also talked about it, and it was a bit laborious to do the accounts. In the future, everyone will find Liu Rumei to pay money! In the future, Liu Rumei will assist Uncle Zhu in managing the family well. Sister Liu, do you think this is good? Also, Brother Zheng Jiu also has to strengthen the training of the well drilling team. When you have nothing to do, you have to go into the East Wing to study. Don't run out all day long and mess around. Especially Da Niu and Du Fen, they ran to the kiln if they had nothing to do. I didn't have any money, so I asked Uncle Zhu to borrow money. Everyone has been working hard recently, young master, I know. But Fireworks Willow Lane isn't where we should be going yet. I'll hand over the account today. Give everyone some money. After that, the salary will be set at the end of each month."

Zhu Chengli handed over the account book to Zhu Lin, as well as silver tickets, and scattered silver coins. Zhu Lin looked at the account book. Not counting Zhu Lin's one hundred taels. In all, there were 1,235 taels of silver in the house. The above is clearly recorded in the double-entry bookkeeping method taught by Zhu Lin. Even the cost of needles and threads, Uncle Zhu also recorded it. Zhu Lin handed over the account book and silver money to Liu Rumei. I also handed over a piece of paper. Let Liu Rumei give the silver to the big guy after calculating the accounts. The standard is on that piece of paper. Liu Rumei took the money and the account book to settle the accounts.

When Liu Rumei left, Uncle Zhu stopped talking. Zhu Lin asked, "Uncle Zhu, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Young master, you give the account book to Liu Rumei, I don't object. But Liu Rumei will be an internal housekeeper in the future. We're not pedantic either. But as a housekeeper, she will definitely not do things the way she used to. So, young master, do you see if you are looking for a few maids to help Mrs. Zhang. It's not easy for an old woman to take care of a dozen people."

After listening to this, Zhu Lin smiled dumbly. said: "It's because I didn't think about it, this, tomorrow Uncle Zhu and I will go to find a few maids, okay?"

"This is for the best. Thank you, young master, so that Mrs. Zhang won't talk about it all the time." Zhu Chengli said. An old face was a little red. Zheng Jiu and Zhu Yi both held back laughter. But Wang Daoist laughed. While laughing, he said: "I take a closer look, Uncle Zhu's face is full of red light, his eyes are smiling, and he will have peach blossom luck recently."

I'm not done yet. was slapped by Zhu Chengli. "What are you talking nonsense, don't believe me, tell Mrs. Zhang to go."

Wang Guangxu's face immediately changed. Don't dare to speak.

"Alright, let's go pay for it." Zhu Lin said. Zheng Jiu, Zhu Yi and Zhu Chengli all walked out. Only Wang Guangxu remained, and Wang Guangxu was standing there. I wanted to say it, but I didn't dare to say it.

"Go too, and have your money." Wang Guangxu was overjoyed, so he went to get the silver. Zhu Lin picked up a notebook and read it. This is the latest version of the word book on the market. It is called "Liu Dashuai's Expedition to the West".
