Chapter 141: The Dignity of Young Scholars & Sucrose? Rice beans? Japanese funding?

Bai Xinshu's voice brought a little smile.

"Very good."

Support +1+1+1

"You can go and talk to Jiang Shiqin about this inference, and he, as a scholar who studies the Wantaihe, will be inspired, and then help you complete the argument."

Zuo Youyou said casually: "Thank you very much Jiang Shiqin, the key four documents were found by him for me." ”

"That's what he's supposed to do!" Bai Xinshu said harshly, "This is his research direction." ”

Zuo Youyou: "Oh. ”

Zuo Youyou felt that Bai Xinshu did not have a good impression of Jiang Shiqin.

But also, Jiang Shiqin's writings written in Chinese are terrible, and he has been editing four times in a row, which has become a nail-level difficult task in the center of ancient books, and even the typesetting has changed when he hears it......

It's strange that Bai Xin Shu can have a crush on him.

Zuo Youyou changed the topic: "I guess Chen Pingyuan's compensation to Bai Jiesheng should be rice beans." ”

"Basis?"

"The ledger of the Wantaihe."

Bai Xinshu was really surprised this time.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Zuo Youyou's professional skills......

Well, he just doesn't believe in Zuo Youyou's professional skills.

But at this moment, Zuo Youyou can actually use his professional skills to make reasonable inferences?

Bai Xinshu decided to listen to it first.

Zuo Youyou said: "Pak Jason is a native of Shanghai, and he is used to using Shanghai's 98-gauge silver as the unit of measurement. However, in the account book of the Wantaihe, there are some units of measurement that use 'Benyang' and 'Yinliang'. According to the archives of the Shanghai folk counting system, the Shanghainese dialect 'Benyang' or 'Yinliang' refers to Spanish silver, and in Shanghai at that time, only rice beans were traded with Spanish silver. ”

Bai Xinshu did not speak.

Zuo Youyou said in fear: "So, I speculate that the one used to compensate for the silk should be rice beans?" ”

There was silence for a long time.

Just when Zuo Youyou's heart fell to the bottom and thought that what he said was wrong, Bai Xinshu finally spoke.

He said with all sincerity:

"Zuo Youyou, you are amazing. Your research results can be written and published in a paper, which is very valuable. ”

Support +10+10+10

Zuo Youyou's tail slowly rose and shook a few more times: "Oh, people aren't that good." ”

Bai Xinshu nodded, completing the achievement of supporting Zuo Youyou every day.

After getting Bai Xinshu's affirmation, Zuo Youyou rushed to find Jiang Shiqin and compared his reasoning with him cracklingly.

"Rice beans?" Jiang Shiqin's focus was on rice beans, "But it's not right, after all, Bai Jiesheng was the richest man in Seoul later, and he used the backlog of silk to exchange rice beans from the Wantai to rice beans, and it must be because of some mistakes that the rice beans were sold at a very high price in North Korea." ”

"Wasn't there a famine in North Korea at that time?"

"Yes, but on paper, rice beans are not very profitable."

Zuo Youyou was like being struck by lightning.

"Huh? How can it not be profitable? ”

When it comes to academics, Jiang Shiqin is professional and serious. He solemnly found the electronic scans of the original historical materials and pointed them out to Zuo Youyou: "You see, the profit is not high, not as good as sugar." ”

Wrong idea?

Zuo Youyou lowered his face.

"I studied sugar for my doctoral dissertation, and I have the same reason as you." Jiang Shiqin said, "It's just that I speculate that the re-rise of Wantaihe relies on sugar." ”

"The profits of granulated sugar are obviously not enough."

"So there's something else."

She slumped into her chair in self-defeat: "What else is there to speculate? ”

Jiang Shiqin paused and said, "I think the root of his regaining his foothold is that he has obtained Japanese funds to take shares. ”

Zuo Youyou Huo Ran got up: ", what is the basis?" ”

Jiang Shiqin circled it in the ledger: "According to what you said, after Bai Jiesheng experienced the first financial break, from 1903 onwards, every transaction began to pay dividends to the Japanese. ”

"What dividends, don't talk nonsense." Zuo Youyou waved his hand, "There is no inflow of Japanese funds in the account book at all, what do you tell me about dividends and non-dividends." I even said that I was paying salaries to Japanese people. ”

"Okay, let's put this controversy aside." Jiang Shiqin said, "Now back to square one: if there is no other capital injection, what will Paterson rely on to make a fortune again?" ”

"Not rice beans?" Zuo Youyou is dying and struggling.

"It's not."

"It's not sugar, either." Zuo Youyou said.

"It's not."

The two men looked at each other.

Zuo Youyou muttered: "Anyway, it won't be the Japanese who take the shares." She grabbed a glass of iced Americana and drank it down angrily.

Jiang Shiqin stretched: "Okay, don't think about it yet, let's play some adult games, dangerous and exciting." ”

Zuo Youyou: "? ”

Zuo Youyou looked at him vigilantly: "What are you going to do?" ”

……

In Jiang Shiqin's room, Zuo Youyou, Dr. Caleb, and Haichuan-kun pasted notes on Jiang Shiqin's face together.

Games are always the best way to break the ice, across nationalities and languages.

After a few rounds of chaos, Zuo Youyou finally got a little familiar with the taciturn Haichuanjun.

Jiang Shiqin threw the poker on the bed and said dejectedly: "Don't play, don't play." ”

Dr. Caleb said sympathetically, "Jiang Shiqin, your arithmetic skills are still as bad as ever. ”

Haichuan-kun nodded heavily: "It's never better." ”

Zuo Youyou was somewhat sympathetic. It seems that Jiang Shiqin's poor math has become a consensus among acquaintances, and has even become an internal stalk, the kind that will be taken out and teased no matter how many years have passed.

Is it really that bad?

Jiang Shiqin lost cards in a row, obviously in a bad mood: "What's wrong with the arithmetic difference, can't you do research if the arithmetic is bad?" ”

Admit it yourself!

That's really bad.

Zuo Youyou persuaded him: "Don't play cards if you are poor in arithmetic, you are addicted to food." ”

Jiang Shiqin: "......? ”

Jiang Shiqin, who is addicted to vegetables, picked up the card angrily: "I don't believe it." ”

Fifteen minutes later, the other three people showed loving eyes, and Zuo Youyou pasted another note on Jiang Shiqin's face: "It turns out that you really don't have a digital head." ”

Jiang Shiqin was sad and indignant, but he knew that no matter what he said at this time, he would be ridiculed by the group.

He shut up.

Zuo Youyou continued to prick his heart: "You are so bad at mathematics, how did you choose to study the East Asian economic ledger?" ”

Jiang Shiqin took a deep breath and resisted the urge to knock off Zuo Youyou's head: "The calculation of the ledger is not complicated. ”

"Poker calculations aren't complicated either."

“……”

Zuo Youyou looked at Jiang Shiqin's lying flat and mocking, and suddenly his heart tightened.

After all, the results of his research are still being produced by her.

She was going to help him recalculate all the data!!

"So are you right about rice beans?" Zuo Youyou was very skeptical, "You can't be wrong, right?" ”

Jiang Shiqin was furious: "Hey, hey, you can't attack the academic dignity of a young scholar!" ”

"Oh." Zuo Youyou's eyes were full of distrust when he looked at him, "Then you can show me now." ”
