Later, Li Hao went to the government as usual, and Gu Tingye was also busy with his own family affairs, so he didn't have time to come to Li Hao.

However, in the past few days, Li Hao will go to Fa Cao, Si Lu Division, and the Left and Right Military Patrol Courtyards every day, until no one has reported Zhu Manniang for several days, and it is confirmed that the matter has been settled.

At this time, Li Hao thought, I don't know if Gu Tingye would be able to marry Yu Yanran smoothly without Zhu Manniang's toss this time. But it's impossible to say, without Zhu Manniang, Gu Tingye's motivation to marry a wife may not be so sufficient, and it is uncertain whether he will chase after Mrs. Yu in the future.

After going through these things in Li Hao's mind, he didn't plan to care about it in the end, anyway, if Gu Tingye really married his wife and split up, if he wanted to come to Gu Yankai, he wouldn't be angry and die early by Gu Tingye. In addition, after the separation, Gu Tingye is not qualified to inherit the title, and the Xiao Qin family may not be so targeted at Gu Tingye again.

In this case, Gu Tingye is afraid that he will not have the opportunity to go to Yuzhou to save Zhao Zongquan later, and he doesn't know if his life is good or not, and whether he can escape this catastrophe.

But anyway, Li Hao is here, he always has to change something, as for what will become after the change, Li Hao doesn't know now, so he can only see how things will develop later.

It was also at this time that Li Hao had just done one thing in his hand, that is, it took him almost two months to finally recount Liucao's account books in recent years using the loan method and Arabic numerals.

After the overall accounting, there are basically discrepancies in the accounts of Liucao. Gong Cao, Hu Cao and Fa Cao are okay, the basic difference is not big, and the difference is only a few thousand taels of silver a year. But the difference between Bing Cao, Shi Cao, and Cang Cao is large, as little as 20,000 or 30,000 taels, and as much as 100,000 taels of silver, and I don't know whose hands it will fall into.

This made Li Hao feel that no official is not greedy, of course, it is not necessarily that officials are corrupt, such as Gong Cao, Hu Cao and Fa Cao, which are thousands of taels of discrepancies, Li Hao feels that it is more likely that the officials below are bullying and concealing the subordinates and making money. But for the amount of Bing Cao, Shi Cao, and Cang Cao, if there is no boss to help conceal the pressure, the people below are afraid that they will not have the courage.

And this is the case, or under the strict governance of the former Quanzhi Kaifeng Mansion Cai Xiang, I dare not imagine that if the Shangguan means are weaker, these people can be so bold to what extent, so the policy of high salaries and incorruptibility in the Great Song Dynasty does not seem to be as good as imagined.

However, after Li Hao sorted out the account books, he didn't plan to break them himself, but followed Ouyang Xiu back to the house with the sorted account books after the ya.

When they arrived at Ouyang Mansion, after Li Hao and Ouyang Xiu sat down, Ouyang Xiu asked, "You said in the mansion that you have something to tell me, what is the matter?" ”

After Li Hao heard this, he took out the account books that had been sorted out with the loan method and handed them to Ouyang Xiu.

Ouyang Xiu took it with a puzzled face, flipped through the two pages casually, and said, "Isn't this something you made up of ghost drawing talismans, what are the paintings on it, what's the use." ”

When Li Hao heard this, he handed over the original Liucao's account book again and let Ouyang Xiu compare it.

Then explain to Ouyang Xiu the correspondence between Arabic numerals and Chinese characters one by one, and then compare the entry and exit, income and expenditure of the previous accounts to Ouyang Xiu.

After Li Hao finished speaking, Ouyang Xiu could basically understand it, so he compared the two account books with each other, and after reading them for a while, he said: "Your bookkeeping method is novel, and it looks much simpler than the four-pillar inventory method used now." It is whether this symbol is too easy to be tampered with, like the two symbols of 2 and 3, and the two symbols of 1 and 4, which are different with a little stroke. ”

After hearing this, Li Hao said: "Uncle, what I asked you to see is this method, as for the specific counting, you can still use the existing numbers." ”

Ouyang Xiu smiled after hearing this, and said, "I think it's bad, but in terms of calculation alone, your method seems to be feasible." ”

After hearing this, Li Hao emphasized: "In fact, after I took office, I checked the accounts of the entire Liucao, and found that the accounts themselves are not complicated, but there are many kinds of entry and exit items, and the four-pillar inventory method is quite high in the threshold of use after all, so it gives people with a heart an opportunity to take advantage of it, and a little change can make a profit from it." ”

"So I came up with this set of methods, its biggest advantage is that the whole account calculation is easy to understand, as long as you remember that there is a loan must be loaned, and the loan must be equal, once the two sides of the account are not unified, then there must be a problem, so that it is convenient to check and verify at any time, and it can also make people who are attentive dare not mess around."

Ouyang Xiu listened carefully to Li Hao's introduction, picked up two more account books, and said while flipping through them: "What you said has some truth, you sort out the usage experience, I will arrange someone to come over to learn it, and then order someone to sort it out and try it, if it is really feasible, I will take credit to you." ”

But after listening to Ouyang Xiu's words, Li Hao was not very happy, but asked with some doubts: "Uncle has a long-term vision, and the little nephew naturally admires it." However, the uncle didn't seem surprised at all when he saw the problem on the account, which made the little nephew a little strange. ”

Ouyang Xiu smiled after hearing this: "It's nothing more than that there are some discrepancies in the accounts, and some people are profiting from it, I have been an official for more than 20 years, from the state capitals to the court, and I don't know how many people have dealt with all kinds of officials, not those who ignore mundane affairs and only know how to impeach, plus the officials' greed for ink has always been a paralysis in the court, do you think I haven't paid attention to it since I came to Kaifeng Mansion." ”

Hearing this, Li Hao asked with some doubts: "Then why has my uncle not investigated and dealt with this matter, but has been more lenient than before, what is the reason?" ”

After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu explained to Li Hao: "In your opinion, what is Kaifeng Mansion, do you really think that I can make a decision to the officials under my subordinates, or do you think that those officials under Kaifeng Mansion are duckweed without roots, and I can deal with it if I want to." ”

Then he said meaningfully: "Do you know how many people in the Six Cao have friends with the magnates in Beijing, and how many people in the left and right military patrols are the sons and daughters of the nobles in Beijing." Then he replied, "You don't know any of that, do you?" ”

After Li Hao heard this, he also heard that there was another meaning in it, and after thinking for a while, he frowned and said, "Uncle also knew about the incident in Little Sweet Water Lane a few days ago. ”

Hearing this, Ouyang Xiu said, "Who do you think you and Gu Tingye can hide from what you and Gu Tingye did a few days ago?" Now do you know what you're doing wrong? ”

After Li Hao heard this, he simply said, "Let's ask my uncle to teach me." ”

Ouyang Xiu then taught: "You are wrong to think that you are a Shangguan, so you think that you can control the people below, so from beginning to end, you didn't think about whether to check the details of these people, but patted your head and thought about it, and used it, and gave people silver, but you didn't expect that people would be able to sell you when they turned their heads."

And you don't want to think about the people who leave and right the military patrol court, dealing with the forbidden army yamen such as the Ma Jun Division and the Infantry Army Division all the year round, plus they are also in charge of the security of Bianjing, how can they get rid of the nobles in Bianjing City.

You are just lucky, and you inadvertently let you avoid them in important matters, plus with Gu Tingye's identity pressing, this time you can be considered to get out smoothly, otherwise there will be no good fruit for you to eat in that woman's business. ”

After Li Hao heard this, he quickly thought about whether there was any trick in his heart, but when he looked up at Ouyang Xiu's expression, he suddenly woke up. If there was really a problem, Ouyang Xiu wouldn't say it so easily. So he thanked him: "Little nephew, thank you uncle for your help, it seems that if it weren't for my uncle to help finish it, my little nephew would have been in a big disaster." ”
