"Secretary? What is that job title? ”

Xiu'er asked curiously.

"Well, it can be understood as helping Lone to take care of the entire palace's position, including managing the account office."

Ji Lie explained with a smile.

The royal treasury is in charge of money, and such an important position is still a little uneasy to hand over to others.

"In a word, there is something to do with the secretary!"

Ji Lie added in his heart, he has nothing to do as a secretary!

"It's just that the slave has no experience, and I'm afraid of messing up His Highness's affairs."

Xiu'er was a little reserved.

"It's okay, if you do more, you will have experience. There is loneliness to support you, you just let it go. ”

"Since His Highness asks for it, then the slave maid will try."

Xiu'er nodded, her pretty face full of solemnity.

Ji Lie stretched his waist and instructed Laifu on the side,

"Laifu, from now on, you will assist Xiu'er from the side."

"The villain takes the order!"

Laifu looked happy and hurried to thank him!

Before, he was just a small servant, but now he can help Xiu'er take care of the palace, which is equivalent to half a housekeeper, and his identity and status are very different!

Ji Lie slapped his forehead, remembered something, and commanded,

"Laifu, you send someone to get drunk and Qingfeng and tell Yang Dongjia, just say that Gu is looking for him to have something to do with Mrs. Zhao."

"Whoa!"

Rifles took the order and left.

……

After knowing that Ji Lie wanted to see him and Zhao Meiniang, Yang Dehou didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went to find Zhao Meiniang and asked her to meet Ji Lie together.

After the two revealed their identities, they were introduced into the mansion by their subordinates.

As soon as they entered the lobby, they saw Xiu'er and Laifu, who were immersed in the bookcase, struggling to write something.

Hearing the sound of someone coming in, Xiu'er raised her head.

When she saw that it was Yang Dehou and Zhao Meiniang, she put down the pen in her hand, and greeted the two in a crisp and immature voice.

"The two owners are here!"

Although Xiu'er is just a maid of the palace, with her relationship with Ji Lie, it is not impossible to be promoted to the side princess in the future.

Yang Dehou and Zhao Meiniang didn't dare to be rude, and hurriedly replied,

"I've seen Miss Xiu'er."

Seeing that Ji Lie hadn't appeared yet, Yang Dehou chatted with Xiu'er and Laifu.

"I don't know what Miss Xiu'er is busy with, and if she can help in the future."

Yang Dehou said with a smile.

"I'm sorting out the king's accounts for Your Highness."

Xiu'er explained.

"Shouldn't this matter be the responsibility of the bookkeeper of the palace?"

Zhao Meiniang said with some surprise.

"The two proprietors don't know that the previous bookkeeper of the palace has been investigated by the prince because of his greed for ink. Now the account office of the palace is in charge of Miss Xiu'er. ”

Rifle on the side explained.

"I see!"

Yang Dehou and Zhao Meiniang suddenly realized.

"Dare to ask Miss Xiu'er, what is this?"

Zhao Meiniang suddenly noticed that on the desk in front of Xiu'er, there was a strange-looking tool.

"This thing is called an abacus, and it was given to us by His Highness to make it easier for us to settle accounts."

Xiu'er fiddled with the abacus as she spoke, and showed its use to Yang Dehou and Zhao Meiniang.

Both of them have been immersed in business for many years, and after listening to them only once, they understood the magic of abacus.

Yang Dehou's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise,

"This thing is easy to calculate, simple and easy to understand, and it is really a treasure!"

At this moment, Zhao Meiniang suddenly saw that there were some strange symbols recorded on the booklet in front of Xiu'er.

"Miss Xiu'er, what is this?"

Xiu'er glanced at it and said with a smile,

"This is called the Great Xia Number, and it was also taught to us by His Highness."

"In addition to these two, there is also a new method of accounting."

She also talked about the Daxia numbers and the new bookkeeping method.

"It is with these three things that Laifu and I can find out the evidence of corruption of Mr. Bookkeeper."

Yang Dehou and Zhao Meiniang glanced at each other, and they both saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes.

You must know that these three things are all good for business and can promote business development!

"What are you talking about?"

A calm and slightly immature voice sounded, Yang Dehou and Zhao Meiniang came back to their senses, and when they looked up, it was Ji Lie who walked into the lobby.

"I've seen the prince!"

Everyone hurriedly got up and saluted Ji Lie in unison.

"No need to be polite, please take a seat."

Ji Lie waved his hand and said with a smile.

After everyone sat down, Zhao Meiniang couldn't hold back her curiosity and took the initiative to speak,

"Please forgive the concubine for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, I don't know from which master Your Highness obtained these treasures?"

She has been in business for many years, so she naturally knows very well that the person who can invent these treasures of the abacus must be a business wizard!

If such a master can be recruited to the Zhao family, it will definitely be of great benefit to the future development of the Zhao family!

"Masters can't talk about it, these things are just made out of their spare time."

Ji Lie said it lightly, but after Yang Dehou and Zhao Meiniang heard it, they were extremely shocked.

They never imagined that this young vassal king, who was born in the palace, would be able to invent treasures such as abacus!

It's a natural business wizard!

Looking at Xiu'er, who was standing beside Ji Lie with a pretty face full of admiration, for some reason, Zhao Meiniang faintly felt a trace of jealousy in her heart.

"The talent of the prince is really difficult for the grass people to pat the horse!"

Yang Dehou sighed heartily, and then said cautiously,

"I wonder if the prince minds if the grass people follow suit?"

"Yang Dongjia doesn't have to be polite, just use it."

Whether it is an abacus, or a large Xia number, or a new accounting method, there is no technical difficulty.

It can be popularized, which is extremely beneficial to promoting the commercial development of Youzhou.

And Ji Lie was able to reach a deal with Zhao Meiniang, and Yang Dehou contributed a lot.

Of course, Ji Yeol will not be stingy.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

Yang Dehou and Zhao Meiniang hurriedly thanked him.

When it was time to talk about idle things, Ji Lie began to get down to business.

"I invited you two to come here today, because I want to ask you for help on an important matter."

"The prince said it directly, but if my Zhao family firm can help, I will never refuse."

Zhao Meiniang had already made up her mind to catch Ji Lie's line, so she took the initiative.

"Gu wants to buy 3,000 acres of land, but he doesn't have enough money at the moment, so he asks the two of you to help."

When Yang Dehou and Zhao Meiniang heard this, they both looked embarrassed.

Three thousand acres of land is not a small amount.

Even if it is twenty or thirty hundred and twenty-one acres of inferior land, it will cost nearly 100,000 taels of silver!

Although the Zhao family firm has a lot of money, it has already given 50,000 taels of silver to Ji Lie before.

Recently, for the sake of the business of drunken immortal brewing, he has also invested a lot of money.

If you help Ji Lie buy land again, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.

As for Yang Dehou, who makes a living as a broker and is far less valuable than Zhao's firm, needless to say.

Ji Lie saw their embarrassment, smiled slightly, and said softly,

"Lone knows that this request is a bit difficult, but as long as you help Lone today, Lone will naturally not forget you."
