Hou Ao picked up the account book and counted it one by one.

"The cost of the Fengyi Fang monster is fifty-six spirit stones, and the food purchase is twelve spirit stones......"

Hou Ao flipped through the account book in one hand and the calculation chip in the other, calculating expenses and income item by item.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Hou Ao raised his head, his face full of embarrassment, "I...... I also miscalculated. ”

"If you want me to say, we should hire a few clerks, and they will settle accounts quickly and accurately." Hou Jiu was on the side to support several brothers.

Hou Ao and Hou Xuan, who were deeply tortured by the reckoning, thought so, and almost seconded the proposal.

"This ...... Still with paperwork? Hou Feibai was speechless, it's just simple addition and subtraction, and he didn't even use multiplication and division, if it was placed in the human world, a third-grade elementary school student could give you a clear explanation.

"It's really hard." Hou Xuan shook his head and sighed.

Hou Feibai took the account book from Hou Ao's hand, and calculated mentally while reading it, in less than a quarter of an hour, the result was quite clear, he was about to tell Hou Xuan that he had lost fifteen spirit stones in the end, but suddenly his heart moved, as the so-called teaching people to fish is better than teaching people to fish, if everything is done by himself, wouldn't it live up to the original intention of cultivating the monkey clan?

Thinking of this, he asked Hou Ao to find a hollow paulownia wood of uniform size and thickness, and asked Hou Xuan to find a few pieces of wood and iron nails.

Hou Jiu saw that Hou Feibai was constantly cutting and chopping, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Feibai, what are you doing?" ”

Hou Feibai grinned and said mysteriously, "You'll know later." ”

Sixty hollow wood beads were cut out of hollow paulownia wood, and several flat wooden strips were cut out.

With the blessing of spiritual power, Hou Feibai quickly made a simple abacus.

"You're a ...... Ritual weapons? Hou Xuan asked suspiciously.

Ritual ...... Hou Feibai was speechless for a while, and explained: "Brother Xu, this is called abacus. Let's show you how. ”

As he spoke, Hou Feibai spread out the ledger and put it on the table, put the abacus in front of him, and crackled the beads.

The flying wooden beads continue to hit each other with a crisp sound.

"Two down five go to three, three down five go to two, four go six into one......" he plucked the wooden beads while reciting the abacus mantra in his mouth.

After all, he hadn't completely forgotten the abacus skills he had learned in the human world, but after a while, Hou Feibai became more and more proficient the more he practiced, and his fingers seemed to have taken root on the abacus, and the beads crackled.

Hou Ao, Hou Xuan and Hou Jiu were completely stunned.

Is this a show? Hou Jiu couldn't help but complain in his heart, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Hou Ao and Hou Xuan joining forces.

Soon, Hou Feibai used the abacus to calculate the income and expenditure of the drinking bar again, and after calculating, he pushed the abacus forward gently, "The final loss of the drinking bar is 15 spirit stones." ”

Hou Ao and Hou Xuan glanced at each other.

"Feibai, you can even settle accounts?" Hou Xuan was a little surprised, "Yes, it can be extremely fast, and it can be good in one place, why is this?" ”

Ask this

Can I say I'm a settler?

The third marquis was waiting hungrily for his answer, and Hou Feibai said sincerely: "Because ......"

It's coming, it's coming.

Everyone looked full of curiosity.

"I don't know, I just learn it, I can think about it." Hou Feibai said very humbly, "This is probably a genius." ”

Shh

Sanhou thought he had some secret, who knew it was this.

Blow!

Hou Feibai's gaze swept across Sanhou's face one by one, "Come on, come on, I'll teach you to wait." First ......"

That night, Hou Feibai spent a lot of time to let Sanhou memorize the abacus addition formula, and tested the practical operations one by one, and when he was done with all this, the time had passed.

……

Day 2.

Hou Feibai went to the Daolang Pavilion as usual to order.

"Old Hou, do you want to eat bread?"

Early in the morning, Xie Gou sat on the stone steps outside the door of the west duty room of the Daolang Pavilion and ate cakes, squinting and enjoying it, as if there was only one cake in the world.

Lu You also came later, he skillfully snatched a piece of cake from Xie Gou's hand, and said while eating: "The account book of the West Duty Room this season is wrong, the number of entries and exits is not matched, and the top is urging tightly, but Lao Shao is still sick, lying on the bed and unable to move, this is a big trouble." ”

Lao Shao, Shao Yingpeng.

The senior clerk of the Daolang Pavilion is a good hand at settling accounts, and he is the most valued one among the white servants.

Shao Yingpeng has frequent contacts with Lu You and other knife bearers on weekdays.

Hearing Lu You say this, even Xie Gou was sad, "I'm afraid it's too late." ”

The expenses of the Daolang Pavilion are quite extensive, and they must be checked and calculated clearly, and the negligence of several scholars who can replace Shao Yingpeng's actions has led to the incompatibility of the calculated general ledger.

The bell rings.

All the sword bearers hurriedly entered the duty room.

Inside the west value room.

Lu You looked at the stacked account books and asked, "Weng Chuyi, if you don't worry about it two days late, right?" ”

"After all these years, you still don't know about the Daolang Pavilion? Do you think it's a mess of harmony? Weng Lie picked up an account book and felt a headache, "If it's two days late, it's guaranteed that some of them are monsters that have fallen into the well, and if I don't get it right, I'll be unlucky." ”

The west value room is originally weak, and the east value room and the middle value room are even more eyeing the west value room, and they are quite polite on the surface, but behind the scenes, they may have dug a pit in Zhu Jie's place.

"Tsk!" Xie Gou stiffened his neck, "I changed to another monster to take charge of the West Duty Room, I won't agree!" ”

"You don't promise to be a fart!" Weng Lie couldn't help but curse, which showed that he was in a bad mood, "Punishment!" ”

He was really angry, and when he turned around, he punished those few clerks who replaced Shao Yingpeng's shot!

The faces of those white service clerks looked more bitter than bitter melons, and they pleaded one after another, "Weng Chuyi, it's not that I can't wait for it, but there are too many account books......

"Get out!" As the silver knife lang, the controller of the west duty room, rewards and punishments are clearly necessary.

The clerks retreated to the side.

"Who's going to settle the score?!" Weng Lie began to recruit a temporary account office with a sad face.

But the West duty room is a group of knife-wielding men who carry knives and slash and kill, otherwise what do you need to do with those white service documents?

The white clerks stood aside, their faces covered with saliva from the roar.

Hou Feibai originally planned to leave after ordering, but now he is embarrassed to mention it again.

Weng Lie finally got tired, "That's it, this matter should be bad luck for Lao Tzu." ”

Lu You frowned and said, "Weng Chuyi, what will happen to this matter?" ”

Weng Lie sneered, "Above? Those guys who covet our western duty room, they will swarm like wolves and tear our western duty room to pieces. ”

Hou Feibai asked: "Could this matter still make Weng Chuyi lose his position as a silver knife lang?" ”

Lu You sighed, and Weng Lie smiled bitterly, "The two in the east and middle duty rooms have always wanted to merge the west duty room into their command, so I have always been cautious and walked on thin ice, and I didn't dare to make the slightest mistake." Because even if it's a small mistake, they can catch it, and they can report me accordingly. ”

"In other words, our main crisis comes from the east and middle value housing?"

Weng Lie nodded.

"That's it." He got up and said, "No matter, leave it to fate." ”

The white clerks were ashamed and swore that they would recalculate it in the shortest possible time.

"Why don't I try?"

Who said such big things?

The demons looked back, but it was Hou Feibai.

"You?"

"Will you settle accounts?"

"A little." Hou Feibai smiled and was very humble.

"Let's do it together." Weng Lie obviously didn't have much confidence, so let them count together.

Later, in the west duty room, a book of accounts was spread out.

Hou Feibai didn't start immediately, he sent a white servant to the Taiping Mansion and asked Hou Jiu to borrow the abacus that he had temporarily built last night.

Crash......

The abacus beads made a crisp sound.

Hou Feibai began.

Pluck the abacus beads with one hand, record and turn the pages with the other.

There was a crisp sound of abacus in the west duty room, and the white servant clerks were angry, thinking that Hou Hongyi was too noisy, which affected their calculations.

But Hou Feibai turned the page quickly

The clerks stared blankly.

Fake, right?

The time is approaching.

Zhu Xie suddenly called Weng Lie to the seventh floor.

"I heard that the account books of the West Duty House this season can't be calculated?"

It's been reported!

Weng Lie's heart was half cold.

He saw the calmness in Zhu Jie's eyes, bowed his head and said, "Tomorrow, tomorrow will definitely be calculated." ”

"Tomorrow is the deadline." Zhu Xie said lightly: "I'm waiting for you." ”

Weng Lie came out of the seventh floor and walked all the way down, his mind blank.

"Weng Chuyi."

He turned around slowly, only to see Xue Baiming coming over with a smile on his face, and he patted Weng Lie on the shoulder, "How can you be so careless?" If someone is corrupt, it is a huge hidden danger. ”

"Yes! After corruption, the mind is not pure, how can a person with an impure mind continue to serve in our Daolang Pavilion? ”

This is a hint that Lao Tzu is corrupt?!

Weng Lie was angry in his heart, but his expression was blank, and he turned back.

"Congratulations to Xue Chuyi, the team is about to be expanded."

"Congratulations ......"

Behind Weng Lie's back, the sword wielders in the east duty room congratulated Xue Baiming in a weird manner.

Time passes slowly.

In the west room, the sound of abacus beads hitting each other is still crisp.

Those few white servants simply didn't count, and checked the results calculated by Hou Feibai there.

"Yes."

"That's right."

Bang Bang Bang ......

The abacus is crisp.

Hou Feibai's speed is getting faster and faster.

When I was studying in Kyushu, the school promoted abacus, and he was also a little expert in abacus.

Bang Bang Bang ......

Outside the west duty room, Weng Lie's face was calm, Xie Hook's temper was very bad, and he stood in the courtyard and scolded.

The atmosphere in the entire west room was so oppressive that all the monsters couldn't breathe.

Syllable!

"Light up!"

As night fell, Hou Feibai was staying.

Several white servant clerks were also boiling, but the speed of their verification could not keep up with Hou Feibai, and gradually, the account books piled up.

Knock knock!

In the early hours of the morning, the streets agitated.

This is the beginning of a new day, and it is also the beginning of tomorrow when Weng Lie explains to Zhu.

Weng Lie sat all night outside the west duty room.

"It's getting dawn."

He got up, and Lu You, who was napping on the side, was alarmed, rubbed his eyes and said, "But it's calculated?" ”

Weng Lie shook his head, "That's it, I'll go to find Zhu Huangguan to receive the punishment." ”

The deer swam to his feet and looked at him silently.

Syllable!

A crisp voice came from the west duty room, followed by Hou Feibai's voice, "Gone?" ”

There was silence in the west duty room for a moment, and then several white clerks said in unison, "It's gone." ”

"Hahahaha!" Hou Feibai's laughter was very hearty, "Lao Tzu is a genius!" ”

Weng Lie and Lu You looked at each other in amazement.

The door of the west duty room opened, and Hou Feibai came out with a stack of account books.

"Weng Chuyi, this is the accounting result of the account books of this season's West Duty House."

Weng Lie was surprised, "Figured it out?" ”

Hou Feibai nodded, his eyes were red, and he looked tired, "It's calculated." ”

Weng Lie casually picked up an account book and looked through it, but he was not an account room, so he couldn't determine the result.

"Can these be checked?"

Several white service clerks were ashamed, "Hou Hongyi accounted for it alone, and we checked it together, but we couldn't catch up with ......"

"In other words, it's hard to say right or wrong?" Deer tour was shocked.
