The lively and lively opening of the Zhiyong Zhai, opened the door to welcome customers for more than an hour, because of the sale of goods and closed down, this funny and not funny conversation, in a short period of time quickly spread all over Jinling City.

It's funny, naturally it closes as soon as it opens.

It's not funny that people have only been open for more than an hour, and they have received more than 16,000 yuan!

Don't say that the Xuefu Street is the entire Jinling City, and it doesn't take more than an hour, that is, a whole year, and there will not be too many merchants and stores with this number of inputs.

So, even if it was Lao Zhu, he heard the news at noon.

Inside the East Pavilion on the left side of the Mukden Gate.

It was after lunch, and Lao Zhu was looking through the account book of Zhiyongzhai this morning, and there were still several thick stacks of bills in the box at hand.

Before the book, I never thought that I would be able to see His Majesty the Emperor's Zhiyongzhai shopkeeper Lu Liang lying motionless on the ground in this life.

Trembled.

Lao Zhu was originally more interested in a certain entry number, flipped through the account book in front of him, but quickly had other thoughts, took a stack of bills in the box at hand, and quickly asked Lu Liang on the ground: "Is this ...... Invoices, in which the numbers, just this one, 03030037, what is the explanation? ”

Lu Liang didn't dare to raise his head, he opened his mouth, worried that it would be displeasing to His Majesty the Emperor if it was too loud, and it was even more displeasing if it was too quiet to hear it, so he finally spoke after thinking about it: "Your Majesty, this '0303' is the meaning of the third day of the third month of March, 0037, which is the transaction number, and it is also the 37th business in the store today." ”

Lao Zhu thought that today was the third day of the third month of March, and suddenly realized.

Then carefully consider the invoice.

It is about the size of a book cut into three paragraphs, and the five characters 'Zhiyong Zhai Invoice' are printed on the top, and the table is below, and the first column is this number, which is different from the top five characters, and the numbered number seems to be a living print. Further down, there are several vertical columns, indicating the name of the goods, unit price, quantity, etc.

The next bar is the total price.

Finally, in the lower left corner is the biller, with the word 'Qiao Wang' written on it, and in the lower right corner is printed the words 'Hongwu First Year', which is stamped with the red round seal of 'Zhiyong Zhai'.

After browsing like this, Lao Zhu's attention turned to the 'total price' column again.

For example, this invoice in hand, the "total price" column is divided into several paragraphs, the first grid is the payment method, filled in as "silver", followed by the specific number, there is a grid marked "lowercase", 198 taels, this is the total price of the previous two pens, a black lacquer pen, a red lacquer pen, the unit price is 99 taels.

Lao Zhu also noticed the relevant price figures, 1888 taels, 666 taels, and these 99 taels, he didn't understand, and there were not many similar statements in this era. However, thinking about it, I also think that the child should have done it on purpose.

This is the last verse.

In the end, it is Lao Zhu's focus.

In the column of total price, there is also a box marked with 'capitalization': 壹佰久拾卌二.

After comparing the left and right 'uppercase' and 'lowercase', Lao Zhu subconsciously drew inferences in his mind, but he still asked Lu Liang first: "On this invoice, why do you have to fill in the total price figure repeatedly, and distinguish between 'uppercase' and 'lowercase'?" ”

Lu Liang carefully pinched the size of his voice again and said: "Back to Your Majesty, what the head of the family said, lowercase numbers are easy to be tampered with, so it needs to be emphasized again in uppercase." ”

This mind......

Lao Zhu thought of the word 'decent' again, and then added a little 'slippery'. However, of course, he will not comment on his own child in front of a subordinate.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor did not speak, Lu Liang paused, worried that the superior would not like the defensive approach of his little master, so he mustered up the courage to take the initiative to help explain: "Your Majesty, the head of the family said that it is good for everyone to set up the rules and not give people a chance to make mistakes." ”

Lao Zhu nodded slightly.

I have a little more affection for this shopkeeper who dares to speak for his master.

Moreover, of course, Lao Zhu also saw the use.

Let's just say that I just discovered these two things. The invoice number, as well as this capital number, can be used in the collection of taxes and money and grain expenses of the imperial court, which is not only clear at a glance, but also can reduce the favoritism and fraud of the people below.

Lao Zhu just sighed.

A few days ago, he sent someone to measure the acres of land in eastern Zhejiang, and he asked the household department to design a special form in advance. It is also planned to wait for the world to be more stable, and in the future, the people's household accounts will also be issued in a similar form.

Right now, it's still this form, and in the blink of an eye, there is a new use.

Of course, Lao Zhu couldn't have known that the capitalized numbers in it happened to be promoted by the Hongwu Dynasty in the original time and space. This is because the lowercase of Chinese characters such as 'one, two, three' is also easy to tamper with. However, what Lao Zhu can understand is that these ...... It's definitely a good way to be tested hundreds of years later.

Good methods, of course, have to be learned.

It is......

Since the appearance of his baby's twenty-third grandson, he has worked very hard to implement all kinds of new knowledge, new ideas and new ideas, but there are too many of them one after another.

The ancestors can't keep up!

Thinking so, Lao Zhu quickly exhaled again.

Now that we have made up our minds to create a prosperous era that has not been seen for a thousand years, if we can't keep up, we must follow. Confucius said that those who are good should be followed, and those who are not good should be changed. Since it's all good stuff, how can you not follow it?

After making up his mind, Lao Zhu took out a stack of invoices from the box, intending to keep them for reference, and then turned to the account book in front of him.

In the account book, each invoice corresponds to a column, simplifying the information and still being comprehensive. One of the columns also triggered Lao Zhu's thoughts again.

This is the payment method, there is gold, there is silver, there is copper money.

As for currency, gold was rarely used as an official currency in all dynasties, and silver was mostly in a semi-black state, with only copper coins justifiably named.

As for the exchange ratio.

Gold and silver still follow the inertia of the former yuan, gold to silver is one to ten, plus the troubled times are initially determined, as the so-called 'troubled gold', gold in the northern region is even more expensive.

Silver to copper coins, probably one to one thousand.

Speaking of which, in the first few years after crossing the river, Yingtian cast 'Dazhong Tongbao', because of the lack of copper, Lao Zhu stipulated that 400 Wen was consistent, and it was always exchanged for one or two silver, but it was not popularized at all.

for the people did not recognize it.

Lao Zhu also found that the official forcibly used this exchange ratio to levy or collect taxes, which is tantamount to looting the people in disguise, just like the folk need 1,000 wen for one stone of rice, and even rise to two or three thousand wen when the green and yellow are not available, but the official issued 400 wen to buy, which is really not kind, so it was abolished within a few years, and continued to follow the usual 1,000 wen as the consistent, one tael of silver for 1,000 copper coins.

Since the official minted not enough copper coins, it was not forbidden for the people to trade gold and silver, and even continue to use the banknotes of the Yuan court, so that the official even taxes such as salt and tea tended to collect silver.

Currency-related, his own baby twenty-third grandson seems to have mentioned a few words, Lao Zhu thinks it is very important, but ...... It's still a step by step.

Just like Lao Zhu just issued an edict according to the proposal of the Chinese book the day before yesterday, asking the household department to cast 'Hongwu Tongbao', but he still didn't plan to cast too much. With those coppers, he thought it would be better to let the generals build a few more bearings.

Last night, I looked at some of the artwork sent by the twenty-third grandson of his baby, the large gantry crane on the bank of the Yongjiang River, he felt spectacular through the drawings, which mentioned the bearing, he also asked about it this morning, and asked the company to step up the manufacture of bearings, and send them to Mingzhou as soon as possible.

While thinking about it, he had already flipped to the end of the account book.

A certain number came into view, in silver, 16,736 taels. There is also no shortage of capitalization: 10,000 Lu Qianqi Bai 3 Lu 2.

When Lao Zhu saw this number, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he subconsciously picked up the pen next to him, and made a simple calculation in the blank space behind an invoice according to the multiplication calculation method in the book "Mathematical Basics" that he had eaten thoroughly in private.

16,700 taels of silver, multiplied, one year, 360 days.

Result: 6,012,000 taels.

Not to mention this year, the first year of Wu has passed, and the annual grain tax input in the territory at that time was about 11 million stones.

Of course, Lao Zhu understood that he shouldn't be counted like this.

Thinking about it again, yesterday I saw that my baby twenty-third grandson easily collected 2 million taels just by selling the license of the sea trade company, Lao Zhu instantly realized more deeply how 'good' the child said that he was a pretty good businessman in his previous life.

I was once worried that the child would not be able to eat well and dress poorly.

Worry!

Let's just say that this is a good practice, Lao Zhu can imagine that if it is so prosperous today, there must be a lot of favors in it, maybe it will be up and down, and perhaps, there are some people who have some other thoughts. Therefore it is not sustainable. But, even if you don't talk about anything else, just this day's income is enough for the child to spend a year.

In the future, after removing the human factor, even if there can be so much input in a year, excluding the cost, as the child said at the beginning, the income will be more generous than the more than 10,000 acres of fertile land he gave. What's more, even if it is cold in the future, this unique business cannot have so much in a year!

Tens of thousands of taels per year, even ...... At the level of 100,000 taels, it is not impossible.

I really don't have to give it myself.

At the same time, Lao Zhu also determined another thing.

The people are really rich!

This can't be rushed, the world is decided.

It's better to wait for the kid to return to Jinling in the future, and then let him plan slowly.

Just like the re-revision and promulgation of the conscription system in the middle of last month, Lao Zhu determined that it should be apportioned into the mu in the end, but at the moment, it is not suitable for one step.

It's better to take your time.

Closing the account book, Lao Zhu remembered that Zhiyongzhai was closed because there was no goods, which was not good, and he thought about it and instructed: "Later, you go and put 3,000 charcoal pens in Zhiyongzhai for sale, it is a running water, don't close it as soon as you open the door to make people laugh." In the future, the charcoal workshop will also expand, and in addition to the public, more will be distributed to Zhiyongzhai, which is also the idea of your master, and it will not flow to outsiders. It's just the same, this charcoal pen doesn't want to make money, one penny, and the corresponding income, half of each of the division and the use of fasting. ”

Lao Zhu remembered that Zhu Yuan said that charcoal is for ordinary people, and in the future, it will cost a few pennies. Lao Zhu also pondered that the current manual labor really can't be done, and a penny is already cheap.

Lu Liang, who had never been able to get up, hurriedly agreed.

Lao Zhu pondered it again and said, "In addition, the pen workshop, let the general allocate two hundred craftsmen." It's still the same, these individuals only make the cheapest one. The fountain pen is used in the study, and it should not be too unattainable. Not...... Consistent one, it's also expensive, 500 Wen, can you earn? ”

As soon as he flipped through the account books, Lao Zhu noticed that there were very few basic items that had always been one, and most of them were gold, silver, lacquer and treasure.

Although, according to the child, he can't earn the poor, but it's too coppery.

Still not good.

Lu Liang promised again: "Go back to Your Majesty, some earn." ”

No matter how cheap it is, half of it will be earned.

After all, this basic fountain pen, the material does not consume much, the largest head is manual, but to do more, skilled, and then the division of labor is clear, in fact, it is very fast. It is the high-end styles that are time-consuming and labor-intensive, in addition to the high skill of the craftsman, but also very time-consuming.

Since there was some money, Lao Zhu immediately settled down, and explained a few words to Lu Liang before sending him away.
