Chapter 2 The Law of Accounting in the Great Food Country
The little girl did not show any touching expression, but seemed to have suffered great grievances, and inexplicably lowered her head and sobbed in tears.
"Young Master, no...is not a bully..."
Seeing her aggrieved, Cai Huang was moved and smiled helplessly, and patted her with her head down as comforted.
"Young master is just like this. After going to Bianjing to see people's faces, it's better to stay in Hangzhou for free and free..."
"Young Master, do you not want to go to Bianjing, don't... don't want to study, so... I'm sick?"
The little girl suddenly spoke, with two strings of crystal clear hanging on the corners of her eyes. Looking at the doubts in her clean eyes, Cai Yan didn't know if this was because of this reason that her ex-boy with this body made him come to this world inexplicably. Her brows frowned slightly, she thought about it very seriously, and then shook her head slightly after a long time.
"I don't know, maybe I'm really seasick... Hangzhou is pretty good anyway. No need to look at people's faces, mom and you can feel less angry."
Cai Yan was unwilling to get into trouble with these things anymore. He snatched the dishes and chopsticks from her hand and pulled the food into his mouth in a few seconds, but he didn't know that there were two figures standing outside the door...
I was speechless all night, and for three months I had become accustomed to the little girl lying beside me, just like my own son lying beside me. Although there is a little difference between a girl and a boy, it is just like that. Once I get used to it, it becomes natural like family affection.
Early in the morning, before he woke up, Lu Tao had already run to the kitchen and helped her aunt prepare meals for him. When he woke up, he could eat hot meals just out of the pot.
Lu Tao was a maid born in the family, which means that when her parents or grandfathers were born, their family had already become slaves of the Cai family. After three months of silent speech, they had already learned about these miscellaneous things.
All the children of the Cai family used personal maids, basically only the family slaves were born. There were very few people left behind in this mansion, and most of them followed Cai Jing to Bian Jing to enjoy the glory and wealth. The remaining were some old men, or the Su slaves brought by the Su family when they married into the Cai family.
Su's family was in their early twenties, but Cai Jing was already in his sixties or seventies. Whenever he thought about Su's family, he felt uncomfortable, but this was the naked and cruel reality that came with reality, power, and wealth.
The Su family is also a big family in Hangzhou and has a wide range of business. Perhaps because of this, he used a illegitimate daughter to exchange for commercial interests. Even if the little girl Lu Tao doesn't say anything about this, he can only know the prestige of the Su family in Hangzhou City, and he can imagine the root cause.
The four maids in the account room, Chunhua, Xiahe, Qiuyue and Dongmei, were all maids purchased by Su themselves. Lu Tao said that they were originally considered officials' families, but because their families became prisoners of crime, they also became official slaves.
Cai Yan met four maids in the accountant, each with their own characteristics, just like their names, the beautiful and charming spring flowers, the fierce-looking Xiahe, the quiet and mature autumn moon, and the cold and unwilling but particularly cautious winter plums.
The four girls were in charge of all the Cai family's foreign business. Although the Su family seemed pitiful, it was not the case. They still had a high status in the Cai family. However, several of Cai Yan's brothers were older, and even the eldest and second brothers could be her father. The eldest nephews were all her age. Compared to them, they were all senior scholars and Jinshi, the Su family, who was a concubine, had only a weak son.
In such a family, Cai Huang could experience the difficulties of Su. Whenever he watched her lying on his small desk to sort out the account books in his room, he was always a little dazed, as if he had seen his strong but tenacious wife, a woman who silently carried the burden on himself.
He couldn't get out of bed and walked around. Su came to visit him early in the morning, said some comforting words, and fed him with his own food, as if he was really a child, which made him feel particularly uncomfortable and uncomfortable, but he couldn't speak.
She had weak bones, so she wouldn't go down if she didn't go down. Su threw him a book on elementary school to pass some boring time. She was sorting out the account books in the room. Perhaps she was really bored. She asked for some books. After rummaging on a few random strokes, her brows became tighter and tighter.
"Mom, isn't such a bookkeeping problem too much? If someone who doesn't understand can read it, he will be confused. Even if someone who knows how to keep it, it will take a lot of time to sort it out."
Su did not look up, but still fiddled with the abacus. From time to time, he picked up a brush and wrote a few times, and smiled and said, "The method my mother used is already the easiest way in the Song Dynasty. Is there any better way to go?"
Looking at the account book that is not much different from the turnover account, Cai Yan felt less and less comfortable. He had a thrifty wife at home. Every day before going to bed, he had to pay attention to the expenses of the day, and it was also classified accounting, household daily necessities, household daily necessities, family of three people learned to charge, pocket money, communication expenses... Even house depreciation, household appliances, and decoration depreciation were recorded, and classified records were all made by the end of the month. Although she would always tease her wife for being a philistine and stingy, she was respectful to her efforts for the whole family, but looking at the messy account book in front of her, she felt uncomfortable no matter how she looked at it, she was silent for a moment and still spoke.
"I heard from Lu Tao that there are many merchants in our dynasty who have dealt with merchants from Dashiguo. Didn't our dynasty who have discovered that the accounting method of merchants from Dashiguo is better?"
Su couldn't help but be stunned, and looked back at his son sitting on the bed, and said in confusion: "Is the accounting method of the Dashi Country better than that of our dynasty?"
Cai Yan thought for a while and said, "The numbers in our dynasty range from one to one, to hundreds, thousands, and ten thousand... are all written combinations. The numbers of the Dashiguo Kingdom are just ten simple symbols. Ten simple symbols can form any size and number, which is simple and convenient, and you can tell at a glance how many."
"The method of keeping accounts is nothing more than one in and out, one on the one hand, and one on the other is income. After summarizing it, you can tell whether you have made a profit or lost a loss at a glance. Although my mother will also summarize it in the end, the method of mother's recording it makes the child unable to see where the expenses are inappropriate. For example... the money consumed on the Shujin road seems to be just a rough number."
"From Sichuan and Sichuan to Hangzhou, we go through water, how many days will it take to travel, how many personnel are, how much staff salary is, how much ships are employed, how much food is consumed along the way... etc. In short, all the consumption must be carefully recorded, and the corresponding consumption of five people and ten people, one ship, and two ships will be compared. How much cost has been added to the transportation of Shu Jin along the way, and after comparison, the corresponding cost efficiency can be obtained."
"Well... Anyway, my child thinks that the accounting method of Dashiguo is better. Looking at the account book, you can know where the expenses are greater, where you can reduce and save, and where there are problems with the operation..."
Looking at Su's strange expression, Cai Yan's voice became lower and lower, and he could no longer speak. Suddenly he realized that he had spoken a little too much, and finally shut up.
Seeing him bowing his head and silent, Su suddenly smiled and got up and sat down beside him.
"It turns out that my mother's child is actually aware of these things, but... my son still thought about it a little short."
Su rubbed his little head, which was silent, which made Cai Yan feel unhappy, but he did not dodge.
"Some things should not be too petty. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. And... others cannot understand the account book, which is sometimes a kind of protection."
When Cai Yan heard the words "Water is as clear as the water will not be fish", he instinctively frowned, thinking that the words themselves were wrong, and encouraged others to violate the rules. Water is as clear as the water is as clear as it is because there is less feeding and no fish is given to others. Water can be cleaned up. Whoever dares to violate the rules can be removed directly, but if the water is not clear, who can know how much greedy you will be? Without rules, greed and appetite will grow bigger and bigger.
Cai Yan felt very dissatisfied with what she said, but the next sentence made him unable to speak. He was not a naughty young man who knew nothing, but taught his apprentice to starve his master to death. Sometimes, the world is so cruel.
Seeing him bowing his head and silent, Su might think that it had hit him, and then smiled and said, "Although my mother doesn't know the way to keep accounts in the country of Dashi, I know that my son's method must be light. I can inquire about the way to find out about the way to the country of Dashi in private, and we both know in private."
Cai Jing smiled bitterly, but couldn't say anything. Cai Jingdu is seventy-year-old and eighty years old, but there are many wives and concubines. In addition to his original wife who had passed away long ago, there are fifteen people left. Even the beautiful women who are about the same age as the Su family, there are ten people. This is just a direct threat from the women, and the descendants of the Cai family?
If a person does not commit suicide for himself, heaven and earth will be destroyed. Cai Yan did not think that Su had done anything wrong. She controlled the property and money of the Cai clan. As a concubine, he would have a better life in the future.
Although Su was a little surprised why he knew the accounting method of the Dashi Kingdom, he was not too weird. After all, on weekdays, four female maids in the accounting department never avoided him when talking about business.
After talking about accounting, Su suddenly said, "Your eldest brother is a bachelor of Longtu Pavilion and is in charge of the important task of revising the imperial court. The second brother is the palace temple, the third brother is the governor of Zhenjiang, the fourth brother is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the fifth brother is a few years older than you, and now he is studying in the Imperial Academy. He will definitely be on the list in the future. My son still needs to read and recognize etiquette."
Cai Yan frowned slightly. From Lu Tao's mouth, he learned that in terms of ranking students, he was Cai Jing's sixth son, but the second son Cai Yan was adopted by the second uncle Cai Bian, and he also became the fifth yamen of Grand Master Cai. Su's words were not good, and he also knew where the brothers' fame came from. "Gived Jinshi", "Gived Jinshi" and "Gived Jinshi" were different. Jinshi was the first academy, that is, the top scorer, the second academy, and the third academy, the first academy, and the third academy. The first academy was the second academy, and the first academy was the third academy. The first academy was the first academy at the beginning and directly participated in the "Dingshu Revision" matters. In name, it was the key target of future prime minister training. After two or three years of practice in the Censorship, the outstanding ones also became the reserves for prime ministers, but the third academy had basically cut off this idea and could be a state-level senior official.
Except for the second brother who was adopted by Cai Jing's second uncle Cai Bian, the rest of them basically could not pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi. Even if they were together, they were unlikely to be a Jinshi. However, no one could stop the official's wishes, and no one dared to oppose the Grand Tutor Cai. Perhaps because of this, the little girl Lu Tao would rather go to Kaifeng, Bianjing. Even if she was just a slut, she would please the officials and the Grand Tutor please. He believed that as long as the official family was happy, even if she was a fool, she could still become a Jinshi.
Are you really willing?
Are you really willing to let go of your dignity and step into the biggest quagmire of the Song Dynasty with one foot?
