It was already pitch black outside the moon room.

At nine o'clock in the evening, all the disciples of Dingyuan Palace who knew how to settle accounts had been summoned here to take account for a whole day.

"Not yet?"

"Strictly protect the law, how can the account book of more than ten years be so fast?"

"Then you should work harder!"

"Yes, but there are too many ledgers, and a few days are not good."

There are a lot of onlookers in the moon room, but there are only a dozen disciples who know how to settle accounts, there is no way, bookkeeping itself is a skill in ancient society, not everyone can learn it.

"Strictly protect the law." Zhu Qingcheng said cautiously.

Yan Protector waved his hand, "You stand next to me and wait, and I'll clean you up after I'm done!" ”

Senior Brother Lu was also settling accounts, he took an account book and said: "Senior Uncle, these account books I calculated, the fire consumption is exaggerated, but there is really nothing wrong with the amount of other expenditures, and there are not many people who think about Senior Brother Zhu's greed for ink." ”

Yan Protector slapped the table and said angrily: "A month is greedy for ink, and a disciple of the family is not much in a year?" Keep thinking for me! ”

Senior Brother Lu quibbled for Zhu Qingcheng: "We have more than a thousand disciples in Dingyuan Palace, and the normal fire consumption is about that much, which is really not much. ”

A disciple who works in the treasury said, "Indeed, the monthly fire consumption in the warehouse of my Cangli Mansion is about this amount. ”

Yan Protector said fiercely: "If it is the normal fire consumption loss of this number, I think everyone has nothing to say, but now he is not losing so much, but swallowing the so-called fire consumption privately, I don't care how you calculate it, anyway, the fire consumption on the account book is calculated, I want to see how much he is still greedy for ink!" ”

What is Fire Consumption?

It is the normal wear and tear of elixirs, spirit stones, and the like.

Since it has been consumed, how can it still appear in Zhu Qingcheng's storage bag?

This is the proof of ink greed!

But the problem is that just greedy and exaggerated is not enough to make Zhu Qingcheng completely lose power, let alone become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats.

Zhu Qingcheng was a little proud, he had already done a good job of the account book, and he was not afraid of being checked at all, so he once again took the initiative to confess his guilt: "Strictly protect the law, I exaggerated the fire consumption, if you want to punish it, follow the rules of the palace, I have no complaints." ”

Yan Protector shouted: "Of course I know that I will punish you!" Do I need you to teach me this? Stand aside! ”

Zhu Qingcheng didn't dare to say anything, and he was sweating a handful of sweat on his head.

Although only the problem of exaggerating fire consumption was found, it could not make him lose his vitality, but Zhu Qingcheng was still very aggrieved and couldn't get angry.

Originally, he just wanted to be greedy for Chen Junxian's monthly salary for half a year, but he didn't expect that the loss would be even greater now.

If all the exaggerated problems of fire consumption are calculated, the palace will definitely ask him to compensate, even if he is greedy for a Yuan Qi Pill every month, it will be a lot of money for more than ten years!

At least ten times that of Chen Junxian's half-year monthly salary!

Zhu Qingcheng regretted it in his heart, regretting that he should not offend Chen Junxian, who bites people like a mad dog, so he is greedy for small things and big losses.

……

The other side.

Since the disciples summoned by the strict protector to settle accounts, Chen Junxian has not been idle.

He took a ledger and looked at it there for a long time, but he really didn't understand it at first, after all, he hadn't been in contact with it much.

But Chen Junxian asked the junior brother next to him who knew how to keep accounts while watching, and slowly discovered that something was wrong in the account book.

There is a saying that ledgers can deceive, but math does not.

Chen Junxian's mathematics may not be anything on earth, but in this cultivation realm, he dares to say that mathematics is second, and I am afraid that no one dares to say first.

And he also discovered the drawbacks of the month's room bookkeeping, that is, the single-entry bookkeeping method.

What is Single-entry Accounting?

To put it simply, you go shopping, and you only remember what you buy and don't remember the money you spent, or vice versa, you only remember the money you spend and don't remember what you bought.

The income of the monthly room is an account book, an account book is paid, and an account book is consumed, and each disciple takes another account book for the monthly salary, and the process of a system alone is enough for more than a dozen account books.

And everyone's inventory is an account book and an account book, so it's strange to calculate it!

Chen Junxian had been silent before, he had been looking for all the account books of the previous month, and after finding all of them, he began to combine more than a dozen account books to calculate one by one.

At the end, just when everyone was busy calculating.

Chen Junxian suddenly stood up, took the account book, and said in an astonishing voice: "Strict protection of the law, these account books are very problematic!" ”

Everyone was stunned!

"Huh?"

"So many people can't find out the problem, you find out?"

"Really?"

No one understands what Chen Junxian is going to do, more than a dozen people who know how to do accounts have not found the problem of accidental fire consumption, can you find out? How did you find out? It's not a communiqué personal vendetta!

Zhu Qingcheng's face was ugly, and he said inwardly: "Don't be a fool!" As he spoke, he looked sideways at Yan Protector again, "I have an enmity with him, you can't ...... each other."

"Shut up!" Yan Protector interrupted directly and looked at Chen Junxian, "Tell me about it." ”

In fact, when Yan Protector said this, he didn't believe that Chen Junxian could say anything.

It's simple.

Are you better than a dozen bookkeepers?

Impossible!

However, there is no loss in listening to opinions, and there is naturally no reason to refuse to strictly protect the Fa.

Chen Junxian's face was calm, he first picked up the account book of expenditure, and said lightly: "I'll start with the Yuanqi Pill last month, there are fifty-two personal disciples in the palace, each of whom will be given three, and there are two hundred and forty-five disciples who enter the room, each of whom will be given one, and the named disciples will not be issued the Yuanqi Pill, the total should be four hundred and one." ”

That's right.

Isn't that something everybody knows?

Yan Protector and the others all looked puzzled, and they didn't know why Chen Junxian was talking about this.

Chen Junxian ignored their expressions and continued, "Last month, the Yuefang took four hundred and fifty pills from the treasury and distributed four hundred and one to the disciples, and the fire consumed thirteen pills, so it stands to reason that there should be thirty-six Yuan Qi Pills left, right?" ”

Zhu Qingcheng was a little empty in his heart, but he said in his mouth: "That's right, I have recorded thirty-six Yuan Qi Pills in my account book, is there any problem?" ”

"Yes, there really is nothing wrong with the income and summary books." Chen Junxian said unhurriedly.

"There's no problem, why are you talking about this?"

"Like, we thought you really found something wrong."

Zhu Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Others were talking.

Yan Protector also frowned, unclear.

Chen Junxian was still saying slowly, "But I wasn't in the palace last month, and I didn't receive the moon at all, but it has been recorded in the account book!" ”

Zhu Qingcheng's face turned pale, and he believed that Chen Junxian had really found the problem, but he was still quibbling, "Regardless of whether you have received the monthly allowance or not, as long as it is the monthly gift to be distributed, I will count it in the expenditure." ”

Chen Junxian ignored him, and directly threw out a bombshell, "It's right to record the expenditure, and it's not wrong to record thirty-six in the summary ledger, but why are there only thirty-six Yuan Qi Pills left in the inventory ledger of the moon room?" Where did my three Vitality Pills go? ”

That's right!

Where did Chen Junxian's three Yuan Qi Pills go?

Yan Protector and others were stunned!

Zhu Qingcheng's eyes were black - it's over, this kid really found out!

Chen Junxian adjusted his tone and said slowly, "Actually, it's not just that I didn't receive the monthly income last month, according to the records in the account book, there are other eighteen disciples who entered the room and did not receive it in time, that is to say, there should have been fifty-seven Yuan Qi Pills recorded in the inventory account book, and then, there were thirteen more disciples who entered the room who received the Yuan Qi Pill of the previous month this month, and thirty-six were still recorded in the inventory account book, what does this mean?" ”

"What does it mean?"

"Zhu Qingcheng greedily inked your three Yuan Qi Pills and the other five Yuan Qi Pills that were not received?"

The crowd speculated.

Chen Junxian smiled slightly and shook his head, "What you said is not right. ”

Yan Protector was stunned for a moment and asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Chen Junxian threw down a bombshell again, and he said categorically: "I mean, last month, the thirteen fire consumption of the Yuan Qi Pill all went into his pocket Zhu Qingcheng alone!" ”

"What...... What? ”

"Thirteen Vitality Pills a month?"

"Not only thirteen, but sixteen of Senior Brother Chen's!"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, and they started talking one by one, and they frequently looked sideways at Zhu Qingcheng.

Zhu Qingcheng's heart beat violently, cold sweat seeped out of his palms, and he hurriedly to save himself, "You don't want to slander people!" Fire consumption is fire consumption, how can it end up in my pocket? Is it possible not to allow the Yuan Qi Pill to have fire consumption? ”

When you think about it, it's right, the Yuanqi Pill is an elixir, and it is normal to have fire consumption when it encounters water and the like.

"Oh, really?" Chen Junxian was not angry at all, and patted a stack of account books, "This is the account book of the Yuan Qi Pill last month, the fire consumption is eleven, there are fifteen Yuan Qi Pills that were not received in time that month, and the eleven that should have been distributed last month were received the next month, so why is the number received in the next month the same as the number of fire consumption?" ”

Everyone was stunned, once it was a coincidence, it can't be a coincidence every time, right?

The dense fine sweat on Zhu Qingcheng's forehead came out!

Chen Junxian pointed to another stack of account books, "Twenty-three pieces of fire consumption in May, fourteen of the Yuan Qi Pills that were not received that month, and all fourteen of them were received the next month, it seems that the number is inconsistent, but in fact, the fire consumption in April is only six, and the fifteen pieces were not collected in the same month, and all of them were received in May. ”

And then even three numbers match?

If this is a coincidence, it will definitely not be able to say!

The eyes of everyone looking at Chen Junxian completely changed!

At first, they thought that Chen Junxian was just talking nonsense, after all, more than a dozen masters who took inventory didn't come up with anything.

But I didn't expect Chen Junxian to be more powerful than a dozen accounting masters, so he really said why!

In fact, it is not that Chen Junxian is more powerful than more than a dozen accounting masters, but the way the account book is recorded.

The monthly room uses a single-entry bookkeeping method, and the bookkeepers also have inertial thinking, and they can not find any problems with one account book after another.

Chen Junxian combines all the ledgers to calculate, which is equivalent to the loan accounting method in the modern society of the earth, and combines each account into the general account to analyze, and naturally there is a problem at a glance.

Again, the ledger will deceive, but math will not, because math is a fixed formula, and you can calculate the total number as much as you want!

If all the numbers are added, subtracted, multiplied and divided, and cannot match the final number, then there is only one possibility, there is something wrong with the ledger!

At this point, it is obvious which link went wrong.

Chen Junxian didn't stop, "The reason why I can find out that there is a problem with the Yuanqi Pill in the past few months is mainly based on the fact that the Yuanqi Pill does not have a loss, but it is impossible to have no loss every month, take March as an example, I combined all the account books of the previous and subsequent months to calculate, and finally calculated the loss of three Yuanqi Pills." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Qingcheng seemed to grasp the last straw, and he said loudly: "Why do you say that there were only three Yuan Qi Pills lost that month? What I recorded is obviously sixteen, and these three are obviously your accounts are not against me, which means that your previous so-called number is not right, and it is also a false accusation against me! ”

Everyone was a little dizzy by the words of the two, and felt that Zhu Qingcheng was reasonable, and their eyes turned to Chen Junxian again.

Chen Junxian was not in a hurry and said, "There is naturally a basis for what I said. ”

"On what basis?" Zhu Qingcheng asked without giving up.

Chen Junxian smiled contemptuously and picked up the ledger recorded by the spirit stone, "Let me ask you, are there thirteen disciples who did not receive the monthly salary in March and then received it in April?" ”

Zhu Qingcheng nodded, "Yes, so what?" ”

"So what?" Chen Junxian raised the ledger of the spirit stone in his hand, "Then why does the spirit stone ledger also have the fire consumption of thirteen medium-grade spirit stones?" ”

Zhu Qingcheng's eyes were dumbfounded, "This ...... This ......"

He couldn't answer at all!

Chen Junxian threw the ledger on the table, made a loud "bang", and asked loudly: "Okay, even if you have the right records of the March Spirit Stone Fire Consumption and the Yuan Qi Pill Fire Consumption, then why is the number of Spirit Stone and Yuan Qi Pill losses the same almost every month?" ”

Zhu Qingcheng's face was like ashes, and he was speechless when asked by Chen Junxian!

Chen Junxian asked the third question again, and he said in a sharp voice: "Even if the number of spirit stones and Yuan Qi pills is different in some months, whether it is spirit stones or Yuan Qi Pills, why is there always a number that is exactly the same as the number received in the next month?" Yes? Please tell me why! ”

Chen Junxian asked three times, Zhu Qingcheng's face was green, and he couldn't answer at all!

Everyone listened attentively, and some people were even more stunned!

Everyone present was in thought, especially the masters of the dozen or so accounts, Chen Junxian's every question was too sharp, and it also made them instantly understand what was wrong with the accounts!

If that's the problem, why is there always a fire consumption that matches the amount received the next month?

Even if the number of months is inconsistent occasionally, why do the numbers match when the months before and after are combined?

Chen Junxian concluded: "Any account book income and total inventory must be correct, because at the time of income, not only is there a record on the side of the monthly room, but also in the alchemy room, taking the Yuanqi Pill as an example, the alchemy room must also have a record of how many pieces were given, and the comparison between the inventory account book and the inventory can also see whether the number is correct or not, so it is impossible to falsify." ”

"Then, if the number of all processes is added or subtracted, if the number obtained is different from that recorded in the income ledger and inventory ledger, it can only indicate one problem, the ledger has been tampered with!"

At this moment, I don't know who clapped my hands first!

Bang bang, and then many onlookers in the palace disciples also clapped their hands together!

Wonderful!

It's so exciting!

They never thought that Chen Junxian's way of accounting could be so exciting, what he said was not only easy to understand, but also very subversive of everyone's cognition, so that everyone knew that the inventory of the original account book could be so simple!

It is clear at a glance whether the accounts are fraudulent or not, didn't you see that Zhu Qingcheng's face turned green when he was asked!

The most important thing is that everyone knows that Zhu Qingcheng deliberately embezzled Chen Junxian's moon before he did, but he didn't expect that before a day came, Chen Junxian personally found out all the problems in Zhu Qingcheng's account book!

It's not a slap in the face!

Chen Junxian still fought back straightforwardly in Zhu Qingcheng's best accounting, pressing the other party to the ground and rubbing it hard! There is no way to fight back!
