Soon, the family found two account books, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and two pairs of chairs.

Lin Yuan opened the account book and saw that the accounting method was Longmen account, which was the earliest double-entry accounting method in China.

In order to fight corruption, Zhu Yuanzhang implemented the capitalized one, two, three..., otherwise some bookkeeping officials would add ten to a sum to become seven, and the change of hands would be less than 30%.

Lin Yuan used straw paper to copy one, two, three, and wanton into Arabic numerals, which was very smooth.

After crossing over, Lin Yuan's memory ability has been significantly improved, and he has a sense of forgetfulness, so that most of them can be solved with only mental arithmetic.

Ai Qing next to him didn't go so well.

Ai Qing is holding an abacus with one hand and writing and painting with the other, Ai Qing just knows how to calculate the lack but has not practiced it, and it is very difficult to calculate.

Steward Wang asked the servant to change a cup of tea and sat back in the Taishi's chair to drink tea.

What Steward Wang didn't expect was that before he finished drinking a cup of tea, Lin Yuan had already given him a piece of straw paper and said that he had sorted out the accounts.

The account book was checked by Steward Wang just a few days ago, and Lin Yuan calculated it exactly the same as in his memory.

But looking at the crooked words on Lin Yuan's straw paper, he frowned again.

Steward Wang: "Your kid is quite fast, but this word is too ugly,"

After Steward Wang finished speaking, he pulled Lin Yuan to Ai Qing, who was struggling to write, and pointed to Ai Qing's words: "Look at it, this is called a word." ”

Lin Yuan scratched his head and said, "This ~ this ~ word is not important, I am fast!" ”

Steward Wang pretended to be silent for a moment, then walked back to the Taishi chair and sat down and said, "Lin Yuan has a lot of attainments in arithmetic, but he can't write, and only you can understand the accounts when they are sorted out." ”

"As for Ai Qing, it's been so long and I haven't figured it out, so don't do it."

Ai Qing heard Steward Wang say this, and hurriedly put down the pen and stood up and said: "Steward Wang, although the two of us can't settle accounts, but the two of us together can also manage the accounts, we don't need wages, just take care of the food." ”

Lin Yuan: "Yes, yes, we won't eat you if we have a small amount of food." ”

When the two of them wanted to continue fighting, Steward Wang hurriedly waved his hand and interrupted: "Although Lin Yuan's handwriting is not good, your method of counting is quite interesting. ”

"You sell this method of counting to my royal family, and I will give you a stone of grain, which is enough for you to eat for a year."

Lin Yuan only realized when he heard Steward Wang say this, the difficulties in front of this steward were all pretenses, and what he really planned was his own method of arithmetic.

Ai Qing looked at Lin Yuan and waited for him to make a decision, after all, what this housekeeper wanted was Lin Yuan's things, and he couldn't say too much.

Lin Yuan also turned over the difficulty, this trip was to see that the Wang family did not hoard Juqi in the disaster year, but the porridge was strange, and now the situation is troublesome, the Wang family is afraid that it will not be easy to enter.

Lin Yuan thought about it for a long time and said resolutely: "This method of arithmetic is really a family study, I dare not pass it on, you can let me go to temporarily serve as an account office, I don't need to be paid, I can practice calligraphy while working." ”

Steward Wang was also tired of what he said, so he took a sip of tea, and then the teacup was slammed on the coffee table by him.

Steward Wang: "Beat these two boys out, and tell the outside family not to give them food, starve them for a few days, and see if they dare to negotiate terms with me." ”

The housekeeper who was in charge of maintaining order on the side walked out of the two of them, and when the stick was rounded, they hit the two of them.

Before the two of them could react, the butler's face changed so quickly that he was about to run out of the door.

A woman in white walked out of Wang's house.

The woman in white: "Steward Wang, let these two boys stay, don't regain right and wrong, we have to sort out the accounts quickly." ”

When the beating family heard the woman's voice, he had already stopped his hand, and his eyes were still staring at them viciously.

When Lin Yuan saw the visitor, he was even more convinced that he had come to the right place.

And Steward Wang hurriedly stood up and bowed to the woman and said, "What the big shopkeeper said is true." ”

Then he instructed one of the servants: "Take the two of them to study the rules." ”

Steward Wang began to flatteringly lead the woman around the room, and Lin Yuan Aiqing was led to the side hall.

Lin Yuan and the others were also carefully interrogated by the family along the way, whether there were relatives in the family, and if there were relatives, they could be arranged to cook in the Wang's farm.

But the two of them were alone, which made the originally smiling face of the leading family turn into a cold face, and pointed to the side hall and asked them to learn the rules by themselves, and explained that there are many rules in the Wang family, and they need to learn them every day and remember some of them every day.

When I entered the room, I found that there were already a lot of people, and there was no furniture in the side hall, only a thin middle-aged man stood on a table and read the house rules aloud, and the peasant men in a circle below followed suit.

"Do not kill, do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not lie, do not drink alcohol......

Lin Yuan Ai Qinger found a corner, Ai Qing finally couldn't bear it and whispered to Lin Yuan: "This Wang family is so strange, how can all the family members be fierce and vicious, they look more like bandits, the Wang family's family rules teach people to be good, but I think the master of the Wang family should be a good person." ”

Lin Yuan heard that this was not like a family rule but more like a doctrinal family rule, and he was already clear in his heart, and he was afraid to tell Ai Qing too much that this kid couldn't hide things and said: "Let's just come to eat together, regardless of whether he is a good family or not." ”

……

In this way, Lin Yuan and the others successfully infiltrated the Wang family and began to recite the 'house rules'
