Chapter 3 Lu Huang's Numbers

Lu Huang wrote several articles in a row, and felt that there were enough tasks, so he put down his pen for the time being.

Then he got up, stretched, and straightened his body.

After moving his neck bone a little more, he went to the other corner of the desk and picked up the thick account book.

The Lu family has opened several types of shops, and as a businessman, Master Lu can be regarded as a diversified way of business.

Diversification is not bad, but if it is spread too widely, the problem of the capital chain is easy to explode.

Lu Huang intuitively felt that his family's store types were too many and scattered, and he felt that he should cut some projects that were not so profitable.

Lu Huang's gaze stayed in one place, it was an incense shop, and the incense shop was selling things like rouge gouache that women liked.

Lu Huang is very interested in this, he is a man, and as a man, of course, he is naturally immune to this kind of thing.

But it's different for women, this thing is quite attractive.

Lu Huang thinks that there is quite a lot of potential to be tapped.

Looking at the accounts of each store in the incense shop, Lu Huang was dazzled.

Alas, without the introduction of Arabic numerals, these amounts are all capital Chinese characters, and there are many strokes, which is really dizzying to see!

Lu Huang sighed, he patted his forehead, and suddenly thought of a way.

That's right, that's where you start!

The next day, after Xiu'er served him to eat and wash, and then had breakfast, Lu Huang directly asked people to find Sun Yong, who was in charge of the account.

Sun Yong stood in front of Lu Huang with his head bowed and listened to Lu Huang's orders.

Lu Huang didn't make any detours, he said directly to the sun: "Sun's tent room, I think we have some habits of bookkeeping in the past!" ”

Sun Yong didn't know what Gongzi meant by this, he looked at Lu Huang and didn't answer.

Lu Huang took an account book, walked up to Sun Yong, shook Sun Yong's hand casually, and then he talked eloquently: "You see, these capitalized Chinese characters to record the amount are too many strokes, of course, this has the effect of tampering proof, but I think the efficiency of doing this has been greatly slowed down, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Sun Yong looked at Lu Huang, smacked his mouth a little and said, "Ah, Childe, but everyone who does business today keeps accounts like this, this should be a common practice!" ”

Lu Huang shook his head disapplausively: "Routine is of course a convention, but convention is used to break, if everyone follows the old routine, how can this society progress?" ”

But Sun Yong seemed to be a little stubborn, and he said to Lu Huang: "Son, but since the beginning of the fight, we all keep accounts like this." ”

Lu Huang accentuated his tone and said: "Sun Tent, you have to understand a truth, what everyone did in the past may not be right. If everything you said was right, then we were primitive people in the beginning, should we go back to the habit of wrapping ourselves around blades of grass? ”

Sun Yong looked at Lu Huang, and he retracted his stubbornness.

Because he knows that Childe's mouth is not given for nothing, Childe can be a master in the county government, although he is only a subordinate, but he is also a master, and he can't say that Childe's is ten times more than his mouth.

Lu Huang saw that Sun Yong had yielded, and he was very satisfied, so he started the next step.

I saw him pick up a piece of paper from the desk, and then said to Sun Yong: "Look, this is Allah......"

Speaking of this, Lu Huang glanced at Sun Yong, he felt that when he said "Arabic numerals", the other party might have to ask him what "Arabic" was.

So Lu Huang coughed dryly, and then said, "Well, this is called Lu Huang's number, I found it." Well, this is what it looks like, and you can see that they represent the original numbers. ”

Lu Huang didn't say invention but "discovery" because he felt embarrassed to use the word "invention".

Then Lu Huang showed it to Na Sun.

The paper was divided into two lines, one with Arabic numerals and the next line was a shortened version of the Chinese numerals.

Corresponding one by one, Lu Huang believes that Sun Yong will see it very clearly.

Sun Yong took a closer look at the paper and said to Lu Huang: "Childe, I think these numbers are too weird, twisted and twisted, I'm afraid that it is very inappropriate to use them for accounting." ”

Of course, there will be resistance to reform, and he has long been mentally prepared for this Lu Huang, so when he heard Sun Yong say this, he was not in a hurry, not at all.

Lu Huang pointed at the "1" with his finger, and he said: "You see that one of Lu Huang's numbers and one of these Chinese characters look like one drawing, which looks similar, but if you look at the 2 behind this, there is only one stroke, and 'two' is two strokes." Look at 3 again, also a stroke, and the Chinese character 'three' for three strokes, and 4, look at two strokes, can actually be a stroke, and the Chinese character 'four' this painting is more, and then look at 5, two strokes, if you write inverted, you can also write, and the Chinese character 'five' strokes four strokes, I will not talk about it carefully, you see for yourself, is it much simpler? ”

Na Sun Yong looked at it and thought it was like this, but he quickly saw the problem: "Childe, one to ten can use these zigzags, well, that number to represent, but what about the back of ten?" ”

Lu Huang patted his head: "It turns out that I forgot it, and I only wrote so ten." ”

So Lu Huang immediately started to write, the brush was very laborious, but he was very dedicated.

Sun Yong on the side looked at Lu Huang, in the past, Gongzi's handwriting was not so bad, not to say that it was good, but at least it was a Chinese asset, how could this word be written in a mess after a serious illness.

Lu Huang taught Sun Yong all the writing methods from one to one hundred.

After all, this set of Arabic numerals is very scientific, and Lu Huang taught it quite smoothly.

Eventually, Sun nodded his head to indicate that he understood.

Lu Huang has a sense of accomplishment, although he feels like teaching kindergarten children, no, kindergarten children don't have to teach, but it doesn't feel bad to be able to impart knowledge to people.

- As the saying goes, give people roses, and your hands will have fragrance.

After teaching, Lu Huang also gave an example: "Look at the pen of our silk shop, collect one or two or thirty articles, and I will write one or three thirty articles, how refreshing this looks!" ”

Sun nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and then he asked Lu Huang: "Childe, you said this Lu Huang ......"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but stop, feeling that it was really disrespectful to call Gongzi's name, so Sun Yong changed his words: "I said this Gongzi's number, and our family will all change it in the future?" ”

Lu Huang said: "It's not all used, for example, the amount on those contracts still retains the capitalization of Chinese characters to prevent tampering." ”

Sun Yong nodded, indicating that this was very reasonable, but there was still a question: "Childe, then, our family uses Lu Huang's numbers so much, but others don't understand, how can this communicate?" ”

Lu Huang didn't think of promoting this set of numbers in the whole society, he just made it convenient for himself.

So he said to Na Sun: "It's okay, we don't use it externally, the main thing is for me, I look comfortable and simple, and the writing is simple." ”

Sun snorted in his heart, cut, it turns out that it is so complicated just for the sake of the son!

But no, others are masters, and they can be willful if they have money.
