"General, in Xia Yangling, you asked someone to invite me over."

Yang Ling was stunned.

"You are Yang Ling?"

Cao Hong couldn't help but be taken aback.

It turned out that the last time the two met, Yang Ling was unkempt and sloppy, looking no different from a beggar.

But today, after some tidying up, he showed a handsome and extraordinary appearance.

Paired with a scribe's outfit, he is simply a beautiful son.

Of course, the fly in the ointment is that Yang Ling's hair is still a little short.

Previously, Cao Hong had a bad attitude towards Yang Ling, also because of his appearance.

After all, in ancient times, people were judged by their appearance.

Like the short and ugly Pang Tong, he wanted to defect to Sun Quan at the beginning, but he was turned away because of his appearance.

After seeing Yang Ling's true face, Cao Hong's attitude was obviously much more polite,

"Sir, please take a seat."

After Yang Ling sat down on the side, he immediately chuckled and said,

"I don't know if the general called his subordinates to come today, but what's the matter?"

Cao Hong hesitated for a moment and said,

"I wonder if Mr. is still used to living in the camp?"

"Habit, of course habit!"

Yang Ling nodded and smiled.

In the past few days, Yang Ling has either practiced martial arts with Dian Wei, or he has been lying flat in the tent, guarding the grain and grass, and completely leaving it to his younger brother Dian Wei to do.

Not to mention how easy it is.

"It's good to get used to it, it's good to get used to it, if the gentleman has any needs, just ask."

Cao Hong also said with a smile.

"The general shouldn't just care about his subordinates today, what's going on, just say it."

Yang Ling saw that Cao Hong was a little insincere, so he simply spoke directly.

"Sir is really smart, and he can't hide anything from you."

Cao Hong said with some surprise.

Yang Ling pouted.

As the saying goes, nothing will go to the Three Treasures Palace.

As the saying goes, the weasel greets the chickens for the New Year, and they don't have a good heart.

A few days ago, Cao Hong ignored himself, but today he took the initiative to call himself over, and asked for warmth, making it clear that he had something to ask for himself.

"Here's the thing."

Cao Hong settled down and said slowly,

"Didn't Mr. Cao propose to Gong Cao a few days ago and let him set up a school captain to touch gold?"

"Yes, didn't Gong Cao already do it, and it was a great success?"

Yang Ling asked with a smile.

"Sir, how do you know that?"

Cao Hong looked at Yang Ling dumbfounded.

Yang Ling looked calm, picked up the teacup on the table quite forcefully, and took a sip.

The day after he joined Cao's camp, the camp began to stop admitting displaced people.

But in recent days, the camp has begun to make a big splash again, recruiting displaced people from all over the world.

Moreover, the soldiers in the battalion also have a lot of sophisticated armor and weapons.

If it weren't for the success of the tomb robbery, where would Cao Cao get the military funds?

"Sir is really smart, I can't hide anything from you!"

Cao Hong was completely suppressed by Yang Ling, and after sighing, he continued,

"As Mr. said, Gong Cao obtained a large amount of money and handed it over to me to deal with, and was responsible for purchasing materials such as grain, grass, and armor."

"But this amount of money is not small, and the materials that can be reached are huge, and it is very troublesome to dispatch."

"I have rough people under my hands, and the accounts have been in chaos these days."

"So I want to ask Mr. to help me!"

"I thought it was a big deal, a small thing, why worry about it."

Yang Ling smiled disapprehantly.

After Cao Hong heard this, he was overjoyed,

"Will you help me?"

"That's natural."

Yang Ling nodded with a smile.

If you want to mix well in Boss Cao's camp, you must have a good relationship with clan generals like Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan.

"So good! Whoever comes, bring up the accounts! ”

Cao Hong gave an order, and the soldiers outside the tent walked in with a load of bamboo slips.

Looking at the bamboo slips piled up into a hill, Yang Ling was startled.

How can there be so many bamboo slips?

Looking at the posture, if you want to sort out the accounts of logistics materials, I am afraid that it will not be possible in three or five days!

Yang Ling slowly stepped forward and picked up a pair of bamboo slips,

"On the morning of the third day of the first lunar month, 319 stones of grain and grass were consumed, and 1,200 stones of grain and grass were purchased in the afternoon......"

He groaned a little, and then he had an idea,

"I have a way to solve the accounting problem once and for all."

"Sir, please speak!"

Cao Hong looked at Yang Ling with a blank eye.

"This old-fashioned bookkeeping method is too complicated and confusing, and it is not conducive to statistics."

Yang Ling pointed to the content on the bamboo slip and said eloquently,

"From now on, the accounts will be divided into two volumes, one for the consumption of materials and one for the storage of materials."

"In this way, when the accounts are reconciled in the future, the number of consumables only needs to be subtracted to get the number of remaining materials."

"Then compare it with the number of materials in the warehouse to see if there is a mistake."

Cao Hong's eyes suddenly lit up!

He had recently been assigned by Cao Cao to be in charge of the dispatch of supplies, grain and grass, and he had some experience in this area.

Naturally, you can see at a glance the beauty of Yang Ling's bookkeeping method!

Income and expenses are separated, and the accounts are exceptionally clear and not so confusing!

"In addition to this, the general can use Allah...... Well, the new number notation for bookkeeping. ”

Yang Ling said with a smile.

"New number symbols, what's that?"

Cao Hong said curiously.

Yang Ling found a wooden stick at random, leaned down, and pulled it up on the ground.

"It's 1, it's 2, it's 3......"

He showed all the numbers from 1 to 0 to Cao Hong, and also told the addition and subtraction.

Cao Hong frowned and thought for a while, and his eyes widened instantly!

Compared with the thousands of tens used in the previous bookkeeping, these new number symbols are clear at a glance, and I don't know how much easier!

Most importantly, it's easy to understand.

Even if you are an illiterate soldier, you can easily get started with a few practices!

Coupled with the bookkeeping method that Yang Ling said earlier, Cao Hong will still have a headache in the future?

"Mr. is really talented, thank you so much, sir!"

Cao Hong held Yang Ling's hand and was excited!

Unexpectedly, Yang Ling just used a little trick to easily solve the problems that plagued him!

Fortunately, my attitude towards him is not so bad!

"The general is polite, I am your subordinate, these are just things."

Yang Ling smiled and waved his hand.

Cao Hong did not hesitate, and immediately found a few intelligent soldiers, taught them the new bookkeeping methods and number symbols, and let them be responsible for handling the accounts.

And he personally set up a banquet to greet Yang Ling.

……

A few days later.

Cao Cao was in the camp of the Chinese army, looking through the letters in his hands.

After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Xiahoudun, Le Jin and others,

"Yuan Benchu has contacted the people of various towns and will meet in the sour date to discuss the matter of defeating Dong Zhuo. The time is not early, and our army should set off as soon as possible. Do you have any comments? ”

"We have no opinion."

The generals said in unison.

"That's good."

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Cao Hong on the side,

"General Zilian, what is the situation of our army's logistics and materials now?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were a little sympathetic.
