Wang Jue woke up from his thoughts after hearing Yuan Tiangang's words.

At first, he also thought that Yuan Tiangang's actions were an insult to them, just like others.

However, he soon changed his mind.

The reason is simple.

Yuan Tiangang definitely didn't have the courage to act recklessly on such an important matter.

for he has already given a military order to His Majesty.

If this is not done as scheduled, it will not end well for him.

Now that he dares to bring a group of children here, it means that he must have some certainty.

However, after a long time of careful observation, he found that there was nothing different about these children.

They showed panic and helplessness in the face of a group of officials.

It doesn't look like it can do big things at all.

Now that Yuan Tiangang is ready to start, he will take a closer look on the side.

See how these little ones will behave.

So he took Yuan Tiangang and others to a huge public house.

Originally, this was a public house used by the household department to handle a large number of accounts.

Now it has been allocated to Yuan Tiangang by Wang Jue.

The desks and chairs inside are all ready-made.

Wang Jue turned his head and explained a few words to an official next to him, and soon after, someone began to carry stacks of account books into it.

Yuan Tiangang randomly took a few of them and looked through them, and then couldn't help frowning.

But he didn't say much, just called the children together and explained some things.

Soon the children were up and running.

I saw that they all opened their small backpacks one by one.

Each of them took out an abacus and a few delicate new account books.

Then each of the children picked up a book of accounts that had just been delivered, and then sat down at the table and carefully copied it.

But then everyone was surprised to find that the children's new account books turned out to be blank.

And there are spaces of different sizes on it.

When the children copied, they did not copy all the accounts in the same new book.

Instead, he kept transcribing back and forth from several books.

Wang Qi sent all the officials under his command out.

He stayed behind to accompany Kong Yingda and the three of them to continue to observe here.

At this time, the public house was very quiet, and there was no sound except for the sound of "rustling" writing.

After a long wait, a new account book began to be copied.

They put the copied books in the hands of a single child.

Then the child began to sort through the books.

By the time the first wave of copying was over, there were many new books piled up on the table in front of the child.

So he arranged for five of his children to come and take the books away and do the calculations.

Others continued to transcribe without stopping.

Next, Wang Qi and the others finally began to witness the horror of these children.

I saw the five children dialing the abacus in one hand and flipping through the account book with the other.

Their eyes had never looked at the abacus from beginning to end, and they seemed to be extremely confident in their own dialing.

Wang Qi and the others watched like this, and an account book was counted by them and put aside.

Then pick up the next one and continue the math.

Fast! It's so fast!!

The children were at least twice as fast as the household officials.

In addition to this, the statistical methods they use are very different from those of household officials.

The household officials copied the accounts exactly when they copied them, and it would not have been so complicated at all.

They will only wait until all the accounts have been accounted for before they can simply separate income and expenditure.

However, these children do it in a completely different way.

Wang Qi and others saw with their own eyes that when they were transcribing, they wrote different names in the account books.

What assets, ownership, what costs, profit and loss.

None of these were incomprehensible to everyone, including the two arithmetic professors.

It wasn't until someone had finished counting an account book that an arithmetic professor carefully picked up a book and studied it carefully.

Seeing this, the other person also leaned over.

The two of them lay on a table and discussed together.

Soon, however, the two men gave up on the discussion with painful faces.

Because they had never been exposed to formal accounting books before, let alone double-entry bookkeeping and Arabic numerals.

As a result, they simply don't understand what the numbers the children list mean.

Wang Jue's eyes widened in surprise when he saw the performance of the two on the side.

At a glance, he saw that the two had just failed to read the account book.

You know, they are professors of arithmetic, and the general bookkeeping methods are within their teaching scope.

Now they can't read the accounts kept by a group of children.

Are these kids really better than them?

Wang Qi really couldn't help the curiosity in his heart.

So he secretly tugged at Yuan Tiangang's sleeve, then turned around and walked outside the house.

Yuan Tiangang deliberately delayed for a while, and then left the public house carelessly.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard a soft shout from the side: "Lord Yuan..."

Yuan Tiangang turned his head and saw that Wang Qi was waving to him at the door of a public house not far away.

So he hurriedly walked over.

The two entered the house, and Wang Jue closed the door directly.

Then he couldn't wait to ask Yuan Tiangang, "Where did Lord Yuan's bookkeeping method come from?" Why didn't the two professors understand it? ”

Yuan Tiangang said: "This is the method taught by His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and he called it the double-entry accounting method. ”

After hearing this, Wang Jue let out a "hiss" sound in his mouth.

Then he spoke again: "Was this method from the sages or from His Highness?" ”

Yuan Tiangang said: "It was the first initiative of His Highness. ”

Wang Qi's hands slapped violently.

Then he said with a look of chagrin: "This official is also confused, and he should have thought that His Highness would definitely not be without a purpose. ”

Speaking of this, he asked with a serious face: "Lord Yuan and this official will tell you the truth, how long will it take to reconcile the accounts this time?" ”

Yuan Tiangang thought about it carefully and said: "If there are only these things in front of you, the next official can ensure that it will be completed within half a month." ”

When Wang Qi heard this, his whole body trembled.

He asked incredulously, "How could it be so fast?" ”

Yuan Tiangang said: "Lord Wang, this method can check each account book separately, and if the accounts are found to be inconsistent, you can directly check this account book separately. ”

Yuan Tiangang's answer directly shocked Wang Jue.

Although he has just taken over the household department, he usually has not seen the accounts of the family.

How can you not know that the most difficult thing about reconciliation is that if you make a mistake, you have to start from the beginning and do it again.

Now Li Zhi's method is actually able to check each account book individually.

This is simply a game-changing creation for accounting management.
