Chapter 142: Rice Beans or Sugar? Jiang Shiqin's calculation was wrong!

Jiang Shiqin: "......"

Jiang Shiqin angrily pointed at Zuo Youyou and said to Dr. Caleb: "Professor, she actually questioned my academic achievements!" ”

Dr. Caleb spoke for Jiang Shiqin: "Jiang Shiqin's accounting results on rice beans and sugar have been published many times, and they can be demonstrated. ”

Zuo Youyou looked at Dr. Caleb suspiciously, and then at Jiang Shiqin: "Oh. ”

There is one thing to say, when it comes to arithmetic, she only believes in Chinese.

She only believes in test-oriented education!

Jiang Shiqin was so angry with Zuo Youyou that he had a heart attack: "Okay, okay, if you want to count, take it!" ”

Zuo Youyou took out the calculator with an expressionless face, took out a pen and a few pieces of paper, and sat down at the desk in Jiang Shiqin's room.

Do you really want to count it?

Public executions?

Jiang Shiqin laughed angrily. He grabbed Zuo Youyou's arm, and Zuo Youyou looked up at him:

“?”

Jiang Shiqin said: "If you calculate that I am not wrong, how do you compensate for my hurt heart?" ”

He leaned over, his amber pupils approaching Zuo Youyou's, and a handsome face dilated in front of her. Jiang Shiqin looked at Zuo Youyou's eyes, his pink lips hooked, and he deliberately lowered his voice:

"If I'm not right, how about you treat me to seafood?"

Zuo Youyou's rippling heart was replaced by anger for a second.

Please eat seafood?

Seafood is so expensive!!

What beauty in this world can open her Zuo Youyou's wallet? No!

He can't understand his own academic work, so he will work overtime, and he will have the face to break his bill?

Konishi Hachi!

As soon as Zuo Youyou heard the words "eat seafood", her poor nerves rattled, she didn't move at all, and her face was expressionless:

"Jiang Shiqin, I'm your editor, and I'll charge you for the calculation."

Jiang Shiqin: ?

Jiang Shiqin only then remembered this stubble, and only listened to Zuo Youyou's fierce threat:

"You don't have any decent funding for this project right now! I can't even pay my editing fees! You dare me to invite me to dinner! Or do you eat seafood??? I see you like seafood!! Believe it or not, I'll let you fund your own funds in minutes!! ”

Jiang Shiqin stood upright for a second, and the back of his neck was pinched by an invisible big hand: "Teacher Zuo!" You count! You can do whatever you want!! ”

After speaking, he respectfully dragged a chair, sat next to Zuo Youyou, and quickly moved out of the computer.

One more thing that can cross borders:

Money.

"Teacher Zuo, I'll show you." Jiang Shiqin's attitude was extremely good, "Don't get tired. ”

Zuo Youyou leaned back in the chair and watched Jiang Shiqin restore the rice bean calculation data for himself year by year. Seeing this, Dr. Caleb and Haichuan-kun also sat on the sidelines and watched.

Jiang Shiqin Alexander, sweating while pressing the calculator. Fortunately, the calculation went smoothly, and there was no discrepancy with the original data, he breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to Zuo Youyou: "You see, the profit margin of rice beans is lower than that of sugar." ”

Zuo Youyou's intuition was wrong.

How so?

Sugar has always been in the import catalogue of Wantaihe, and the source of goods is mostly in the United Kingdom or Hong Kong, and it is impossible to exchange it with silk. Before and after, the last possible thing is clearly rice beans.

It's unconventional.

"That's not right, I can't figure it out."

"Data speaks, and that's what data is. The data shows that it's not rice beans. Jiang Shiqin muttered in a low voice, "But you don't accept the fact that Sucrose is funded by the Japanese......"

"How is it true?!" Zuo Youyou frowned: "I'll check it again." ”

After a period of demonic training by Dr. Xia, she is now much familiar with the monetary system of the late Qing Dynasty, so she is not afraid to calculate directly, and even has a faint professional demeanor.

Jiang Shiqin looked at her face, his throat was dry, and handed her the pen and paper: "Why don't you believe it." ”

"Unreasonable, of course I don't believe it."

“…… I can guarantee that I am not mistaken. Jiang Shiqin said, "My academic views can stand up to scrutiny. ”

Zuo Youyou didn't speak, staring at the screen intently.

Haichuan-kun sat silently on the side, not knowing what he was thinking, and looked at Zuo Youyou thoughtfully from time to time.

Zuo Youyou swept it and noticed two different calculation formulas before and after.

"The profit of rice beans was calculated in two ways before and after because of the changes in the monetary system at that time." Jiang Shiqin said.

He pulled the computer closer.

"The first is Spanish silver, which is 'Benyang' and 'Gauge Silver'." Jiang Shiqin stretched out his hand and clicked on the screen, "In this year, the Spanish currency withdrew from Shanghai, so it switched to Shanghai's 'Erqibao Silver' as a measurement. ”

Erqi Baoyin, Dr. Xia once told Zuo Youyou. She still has an impression.

"The two seven treasures of silver weigh 52 taels, and the premium of 2 taels and 7 coins and 5 cents is added, and the actual silver content is 54 taels and 7 coins and 5 cents." Jiang Shiqin said, "So our calculation formula here is uniformly multiplied by 54 taels, 7 money, and 5 cents......"

Zuo Youyou suddenly said, "That's not right. ”

Jiang Shiqin was suddenly interrupted: "What's wrong?" ”

Zuo Youyou's eyes flashed with eagerness, and he didn't answer, his brain turned wildly, and the pen in his hand unconsciously tapped on the table.

Dr. Caleb instantly looked solemn: "What's wrong?!" ”

"Premium 2 taels 7 money 5 cents? I assure you that this premium is a real thing, based on ......"

"It's not a premium." Zuo Youyou said

Not a premium?

What's wrong with that?

You must know that in the opening of Jiang Shiqin's doctoral dissertation, "sugar" was chosen as the starting point, and this part of the data can be cited. In other words, this part of the data is demonstrated by the opening argument, the group meeting, and the professor of the doctoral defense group!

Is this part of the data wrong?

Doesn't that mean that their group of instructors at the Institute of East Asian Studies have all gone wrong?

Dr. Caleb and Jiang Shiqin glanced at each other, and the expressions on their faces were very ugly, staring at Zuo Youyou deadly.

Zuo Youyou slapped the pen on the table suddenly, and with a crisp "snap", Jiang Shiqin suddenly looked at Zuo Youyou,

"That's not right." Zuo Youyou finally said, "You missed a step in your calculations. One less conversion"

She pointed to the "silver taels" on the ledger and said, "This, not 'taels'." ”

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Shiqin was very surprised, and his tone was also very impulsive, "It says 'silver two' here, why isn't it two?" ”

"It's 'two rules and silver'!" Zuo Youyou shouted, "Pak Jason is from Shanghai!" He is accustomed to using the Shanghai counting method as the unit of measurement, so the 'silver tael' written here is not the silver dollar commonly used in North Korea, but the 'gauge silver tael' used in Shanghai - '匁'! ”

Zuo Youyou wrote the word "匁" on the paper, and spoke quickly, "So, when you made a comparison, you miscalculated the unit of measurement!" ”

When these words were spoken, the faces of the other three people in the room changed!

"Why are you—"

"She's right." Hai Chuanjun whispered in English, "Bai Jiesheng is from Shanghai, and the 'silver tael' he uses in his bookkeeping should be 'Shanghai 98 standard silver tael'. ”

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Haichuan-kun looked at Jiang Shiqin and Dr. Caleb: "So it's really a miscalculation." ”

Jiang Shiqin's angry voice stopped, his eyes widened, and he gasped blankly.

"Wrong?"

Dr. Caleb shuddered and pulled out his phone, hanging his head to press the numbers.
