Xie Xun originally wanted to teach the Arabic numerals and the four arithmetic to those stewards, but he was worried that Zhiduo would get into trouble, so he just did it.

Xie Shangshu was used to the whimsy of his precious sister-in-law from time to time, and he didn't think much about it when he saw that the way the account books in the house were recorded had changed.

However, those books eventually led to something.

On that day, Chu Hui, the head of the household, came to the Zhenguo Mansion to find an old friend for a drink, and at that time, Xie Shangshu happened to be looking through the account book, Chu Hui glanced at it, and then he couldn't take his eyes off.

"How is this book so neat?"

Chu Hui said, reaching out and snatching the account book. This kind of behavior is already a bit rude, but Chu Hui can't care about it so much at the moment. He was fascinated by the simplicity and simplicity of bookkeeping.

"Who pioneered this? I've never seen it before! ”

The household department gathered talents who were good at counting and calculating in the Great Cloud Dynasty, and probably except for those in the Qin Tianjian, there was no official in the court who was better at keeping accounts than the people in the household department.

But even so, no one has ever thought of innovating bookkeeping methods, and at the end of each year, the people in the household department are busy like dogs, buried in piles of account books, and there is no time to eat. The young man is fine, but Chu Hui is old, and at the end of every year, he has an urge to resign, otherwise he is afraid that he will not be able to survive and die of fatigue.

Xie Shangshu raised his chin proudly, "Who else can it be, naturally it is the precious son of this official, Xie Xun!" ”

Chu Hui was taken aback at first, and then nodded, "That's right, these strange things can only be imagined by your sister-in-law." Alright, bring your precious son. ”

This account book seems simple, but there are some things that he has looked at for a while and has not figured it out, so he needs to ask Xie Xun in person.

This bookkeeping method is so good that he plans to use it for the household department, and even promote it in the entire Great Cloud Dynasty.

Then, Xie Xun was pestered by Chu Hui and asked for most of the day, and almost ticked out the Arabic numerals and the four operations. Fortunately, Xie Xun was shrewd enough to not follow Chu Shangshu's train of thought, and he just choked the signs.

Later, Chu Hui wrote to the emperor and asked to change the way the imperial court account books were recorded, but this time, Chu Hui did not attribute the credit to Xie Xun, who is now famous enough, but replaced the initiator with a staff member of the Zhenguo Mansion. That staff member also received a heavy reward of 1,000 taels of gold from the emperor.

Xie Jia rarely paid attention to matters unrelated to Xie Xun in the Zhenguo Mansion, so naturally he didn't know that the way of bookkeeping had changed.

Xie Xun held his cheek with his left hand, and with his right hand, he used the tea lid to pluck the tea foam of the tea bowl, "Isn't it funny that someone is going to be unlucky?" ”

"Who's going to be unlucky?" Xie Jia asked subconsciously.

Xie Xun chuckled slightly at the corner of his mouth and didn't speak.

Shega quickly figured it out.

It's Pei Youan!

But he couldn't understand why Pei Youan was unlucky?

The four princes were specially launched by the emperor to seize the heir, the Pei family is the future father-in-law of the four princes, the emperor should use the Pei family, how could he attack the Pei family after the Pei family just entered Beijing?

However, it didn't take long for Shega to get the news.

"Second brother, is it the emperor you instigated?" Xie Jia couldn't help but ask.

Xie Xun glanced at him reproachfully, "Big brother, how can you say such a thing!" The emperor is the Ninety-Five Supreme, how can he be instigated? At best, I'm a kind reminder. ”

Xie Xun was not afraid that Pei Youan would know that it was him, and those words were said in the imperial study, so he couldn't hide them.

After Pei Youan knew that Xie Xun was behind the scenes, he almost smashed the porcelain all over the room.

"Brother, this is a complete set, worth thousands of taels!" Xiuniang, the eldest daughter of the Pei family, held Pei Youan's hand, snatched the teacup that was held high from under her tightly clasped fingers, gently placed it on the table, and then sighed.

Now, in order to raise the eight million taels of silver to the emperor, their family must cut back on food and clothing, and they dare not waste the slightest.

Xiuniang is the concubine of the Pei family who was given by the emperor to the four princes as concubines, and because of her future identity, she will also participate in discussions when there are major events in the Pei family.

Pei Youan clenched his fist with his right hand and slammed it on the table, the table was smashed into a pit, and Pei Xiuniang felt pain when he saw it.

Knowing that snatching the teacup would ruin a square table with red sour branches, she would rather smash the teacup.

"Brother, the matter has come to this, and it won't help if you get angry again." Pei Xiuniang pressed the angry Pei Youan on the official hat chair, "In the end, we were too exposed before, so we have today's disaster." In the future, be cautious and keep a low profile. ”

Pei Youan also regretted it a little. After entering Beijing, he heard that the Gao family had suffered heavy losses, but he was sitting on tens of millions of taels of silver, he was a little proud, forgetting that the money came from an improper way, and if the court and the emperor pursued it, he needed to hand it all over.

After deciding on a plan to suppress bandits along the way and amass wealth, some staff suggested that after destroying the bandits' dens, they should notify the local government and distribute some to the local government, so that even if someone in the court wanted to pursue it, they would not be able to catch it. But he thought that now that the Pei family was deeply favored by the emperor, no one would find fault with such a trivial matter.

He never thought that the person who found fault would be the emperor!

Money is a person's guts, and without money, it feels like a short neck when making friends with people outside.

"That damn shit!" Although Pei Youan no longer smashed things, he still couldn't help but scold angrily.

Pei Xiuniang corrected her brother in a low voice, "Xie Xun is not a gentleman, brother, if you treat him as a gentleman in the future, you will suffer a big loss." ”

Pei Xiuniang is the eldest daughter of the Pei family, she has been carefully cultivated by Mrs. Pei since she was a child, and even invited a Confucian teacher to enlighten her, and her knowledge is no worse than that of a man who is a man. This is also one of the reasons why the Pei family will devote their strength to support the four princes. Pei Xiuniang can definitely sit firmly in the position of the main concubine, and even if the four princes ascend to the throne in the future, the queen's throne will inevitably be hers.

Pei Xiuniang is not only talented and knowledgeable, but also has a gentle temper and is not impatient, sometimes her father and brother have conflicts, and they have to rely on her to reconcile them.

"Eight million taels is enough, my brother should send it to the emperor as soon as possible." Pei Xiuniang pushed a wooden box in front of Pei Youan.

Pei Youan looked up in shock, "How can it be so fast?" Didn't those things just go out of the house? ”

"I discussed with my mother that I would use my dowry money and the money from the house first. In this way, the jewelry can be sold slowly and with less loss. ”

The emperor's affairs must be done as soon as possible, but the merchant who receives the goods will not care what you are using the money for, but because you are going to give it to the emperor, you are in a hurry, and the price is more and more depressed.

Because he was married to the prince, before the Pei family set off for Beijing, the officials in various towns in the southwest had paid gifts as dowries, plus Mrs. Pei's subsidy, Pei Xiuniang's dowry was 3.5 million taels.

Pei Youan closed his eyes, more and more annoyed.

Although it is only temporarily misappropriated, after those jewels are sold, they can be returned to the girl for a lot, but after all, there is a kind of shame of being slapped in the face!

"Brother, it doesn't matter if you win or lose for a while. The key is who can laugh last. Pei Xiuniang reached into her sleeve pocket, took out a piece of paper, slowly unfolded it, and pushed it in front of Pei Youan, "Brother, what do you think this is?" ”

Pei You'an suppressed his anger and raised his eyes to look at the paper, only to see a rough picture drawn on it.

"What is this drawing?"

The corners of Pei Xiuniang's mouth turned up slightly, bringing out some pride, "This is the Xie family's garment workshop that you and your father have in mind, and this is the opportunity that can make a rough man instantly become a skilled embroiderer." This picture is combined with the parts diagram that Xie Dagongzi stole from Xie Xun's study before, and then find some powerful craftsmen, it should not be difficult to piece together the bracket. ”

Pei Youan first sighed, followed by laughter......
