Su Guo glanced at the account book, confirmed his eyes with Gao Yu, and immediately knew it.

But what can he say?

I helped keep accounts in Li Kui's warehouse, which is just a charge, which is really not of great use. Looking at the stacks of ledgers piled up, my brain ached.

For auditing, Su Shi was not interested in it at all.

At first, when he saw his son's sad face, he still wanted to help. But his eyes fell on the ledger, and he had a headache again. The account book recorded in the account room is for people to check, and it is not easy to find problems from it.

Listening to the crackling sound of the abacus, Su Shi found himself a little tired.

Cautiously left the study, secretly complaining about Xu Rang under the corridor, why didn't he tell himself after finding out?

If something goes wrong, let him decide. It made him feel like he was being framed.

When I think about it, I feel a pain in my head.

"Hey—"

Su Guo made calculations all night, and also checked the accounts all night, but he had no clue.

Su Shi got up early in the morning to see if his son had found the result. Later, he found that his son was in a daze in front of the account book, Su Shi coughed and walked into the study.

Su Guo woke up at this time, looked up and said to Su Shi: "Father, the child has disappointed his father." ”

"Forget it, that's not your forte." If Su Shi was like Zhang Dan, he would have been scolded a long time ago, and Zhang Duan couldn't see that his son was an incompetent and arrogant person. But Su Shi's mentality has always been very good, so good that he has begun to comfort his son at this time, and secretly comforted himself.

Hardship is not a popular uprising.

If the people really change, he will be even more blind.

Don't look at what Su Shi once wrote-'Will hold the bow like the full moon, look northwest, and the wolf' and other bold poems that make people happy. But if you really want him to quell the rebellion, I'm afraid there is no way at all. It is likely that in the end, he can only express his determination to play the court, the people are in the city, the city is dead, and that's it.

Fortunately, Su Shi was not bad luck, and he didn't encounter a big disaster that made him at a loss.

It's just that there is a problem with a righteous warehouse, even if it can't be found......

Su Shi stroked his beard and was melancholy, if he really couldn't find out the problem, wouldn't it mean that he was a confused official?

Having made up his mind, Su Shi decided to encourage his son Su Guo: "Guo'er, spend some more energy, and the honor and disgrace of you and my father and son will be here." ”

After gambling on the honor and disgrace of his life, Su Guo suddenly doubled the pressure, but auditing is a technical job, how could he, an inexperienced freshman, find a flaw in the account book made by Mr. Bookkeeper?

Su Guo said helplessly with a bitter face: "Father, it's not that the child refuses to contribute, it's just this matter...... Alas, by the way, Li Kui may have a way. He can run a warehouse, so he may have studied more than his accounts. ”

Before this, Su Shi must have been annoyed when he heard that Li Kui would check the accounts, this is a small skill of carving insects, which is not enough to praise. Readers, naturally, should take poetry as their main business and study the skills of auditing, isn't it abandoning the basics?

But now Su Shi didn't care about this, and hurriedly got up to find Li Kui.

Su Guo hurriedly grabbed Su Shi and said, "Father, they are not at home, they have to go to the dock to find them." It's better to let Gao Yu find people and make plans. If it can't be done, it can only be covered up at this time. ”

There is a problem in Yicang, this is the biggest unstable factor that shakes the regional security, Su Shi is a minister of the king who wants to be a good official, how can it be forgotten?

After dropping hope from his son to Li Kui, his self-confidence came back again, and he saw Su Shi raise his eyebrows and said: "Don't say anything frustrating, if this matter is not investigated, we will never give up." ”

Li Kui was hurriedly found by Gao Yu from the dock, and when Su Shi and his son pushed a large number of accounts in front of him, they were stunned. Is he still endorsing along the way?

I didn't expect it to be to check the ledger.

glared at Gao Yu sadly, and didn't say it clearly.

"Master, Li Kui is here."

"It's a good time, the accounts of Yicang need to be checked, and I heard that you have a good way to operate and be good at bookkeeping. However, after all, business is a radical business, and you will have to prepare for a career in the future, and government affairs is the art of duty. There is a way, the road of the world, all changes do not deviate from their origins. Since you have the ability to operate, the master will test your talents. ”

Su Shi's old face turned red, he wouldn't say in front of his apprentices that he wouldn't check the accounts, right?

Wouldn't it be a shame to say this?

Li Kui breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was afraid that there was a problem in the treasury of Yingzhou, and his old man was uneven. Seeing Su Guo with even dark circles under his eyes, I am afraid that he has not slept all night, and he is also stumped by this account book. Li Kui doesn't care, he really knows how to check the accounts, but the audit method he knows is a little different from Da Song's. Although he is a liberal arts student, he studied finance, and accounting is one of his main professions.

But it doesn't matter, modern accounting is definitely much more advanced than that of the Song Dynasty.

Before checking the accounts, you should always ask the reason: "Master, this account is from Yicang, right?" Li Kui looked through an account book, and what was recorded was either soybean, millet or rice. It is clearly a granary controlled by the government. And the granaries controlled by the government, in addition to the granaries of military rations, are only righteous warehouses.

Su Shi was overjoyed when he heard this, it seems that Li Kui really understands, and finally found someone who can do things.

The head of the jaw said: "Yes, it is Yicang." ”

"I wonder if the ancestor can let me go to Yicang to seal the granary and count the total number on the spot?" Li Kui said that it is natural to have a formal audit procedure, inventory and warehousing, and then check the accounts.

This is also a normal method of taking stock.

It is also a legitimate request.

Su Shi also knew that Li Kui's request was very legitimate, but the Yicang had been washed away, and after the grain was soaked in water, it either sprouted or could not be used, and could only be used as fertilizer. The reason why Xu Rang told Su Shi about this problem was because he found that the grain in Yicang was inedible ** mildew grain, and after the grain was moldy, it became poisonous, and even livestock could not eat it.

This kind of grain is not even dared to be sent out by the warehouse supervisor who manages the righteous warehouse, and he wants to eat the dead.

This brought the problem to Su Shi. If Su Shi can't help it, it is estimated that he can only discuss with Xu Rang to cover the lid.

Maybe the next term will have a way to cure these silverfish, but for them, as an official, as long as there is no big mess, the world is peaceful.

This is also the rule of officialdom.

In the face of Li Kui's legitimate request, Su Shi was embarrassed, so he could only tell the truth: "Li Kui, this is indeed the grain of Yicang, but there were floods a few times ago, and the grain in the granary has been soaked, and many granaries have collapsed. There is indeed a lot of grain, but after inspection, most of it is moldy, which is unreasonable. ”

"It's not easy to get moldy in this weather." Li Kui listened carefully to Su Shi's description, afraid of missing a word. He also heard the problem from this, the amount of grain in Yicang may not be seriously wrong, but it is impossible to check the total. It is equivalent to destroying the corpse and destroying the traces, which is a headless case.

And the warehouse supervisor is afraid that he is also fearless, not afraid of Su Shi and Xu Rang's inspection.

There is a lot of food, but it is spoiled, and the flood has caused the disaster, which is a muddy account.

Su Shi saw that Li Kui's expression became solemn, and his heart went up and down, but he was more disappointed than expected. After hesitating for a long time, he asked Li Kui: "Is there really no way at all?" ”

Li Kui could naturally hear the unwillingness in Su Shi's heart.

He really had a way, so he nodded cautiously and said, "Yes!" ”
