What Jinyiwei selected for Hu Changan was the account book of an ordinary official in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
This account book is neither very thin nor very thick. It can be said to be a relatively moderate workload.
When Hu Changan heard this, he also took the account book with a smile and said: "In that case, let's see the results in two days."
"Today is the first day."
"Of course, I will have to trouble you all during the later physical inspection."
Hearing this, all the Jin Yiwei also nodded.
There is nothing wrong with letting them take action when inspecting the physical objects.
After all, Hu Changan is just a weak scholar. It would be too difficult for him to move all kinds of heavy furniture.
When Hu Changan saw this, he also smiled slightly.
After receiving the account book from Jin Yiwei, Hu Changan sat in the corner and raced against time to read the account book.
The sun is already high in the sky right now. If we don't start work quickly, I'm afraid half a day will be wasted.
Hu Changan first took out a slate and charcoal pencil from his pocket, and then began to flip through the account book while writing and drawing on the slate.
Seeing that Hu Changan had already started working, everyone dispersed to do their own work.
But secretly, they were still very curious about Hu Changan's every move.
In just a short time of burning incense, no less than five or six Jin Yiwei pretended to "pass by" the corner where Hu Changan stayed.
However, when they saw what Hu Changan was doing, Monk Zhang Er was confused.
One of the Jinyi guards became more and more confused as he watched, and couldn't help but ask his colleagues on the side: "Do you know what Minister Hu is doing? Why can't I understand any of the characters he wrote?"
Hearing this, another Jin Yiwei also blinked his eyes and said innocently: "You ask me, I still want to ask you."
"I have never seen such a strange symbol before."
"Isn't this Mr. Hu trying to imitate the Taoist way of divination?"
It's no wonder that the Jin Yiwei Zuo made such a guess.
In ancient times, only Taoists would come up with some strange symbols.
In the eyes of the uninitiated, these numerical symbols created by Hu Changan are indeed very similar to the symbols that appear when Taoists draw talismans.
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little contempt for Hu Changan.
This Hu Changan simply treats people as fools!
Did he really think that by just drawing a few talismans, he could find out how much property this official had?
This is simply ridiculous!
Although these imperial guards are all military attachés, they are all people with basic education.
In terms of knowledge, they are no lower than ordinary officials.
Therefore, they naturally do not believe in these magical things.
What Hu Changan did was simply mocking their intelligence.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of unhappiness in their hearts.
But after all, Hu Changan was also the person in charge of this operation designated by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Even if they were dissatisfied with Hu Changan, they could only obey him temporarily.
But in private, when they faced Hu Changan, their attitude was obviously much colder.
Hu Changan was keenly aware of this change when he went out to pour water.
But Hu Changan is not someone who cares about other people's opinions.
The most important thing right now is to check the accounts at hand.
It was said to be two days, but in fact, Hu Changan only had one day to spare.
After all, the next day should be reserved for complete on-site inspection.
Therefore, the contents of the ledger must be straightened out on the first day.
Even though Hu Changan has mastered modern mathematics knowledge proficiently, this is not an easy job for him.
So during that day, Hu Changan didn't move anywhere except eating and drinking.
Finally, after a long calculation, everything was arranged properly.
Next, we are waiting for the inspection work tomorrow!
Hu Changan rubbed his neck and raised his head from the ledger.
It was evening at this time, and the red sunset glow on the horizon was gorgeous.
Seeing that it was almost done, Hu Changan packed up his things and walked home from the palace leisurely.
However, upon seeing this, the imperial guards' disdain for Hu Changan deepened.
Hu Changan's work attitude is too bad!
How come it’s only after five o’clock and you’re already packing up and going home?
After all the calculations, he only read the account books for more than seven hours a day.
What can be seen in seven hours?
When everyone saw this, they became even more convinced that Hu Changan was faking it.
Only by pretending to be a ghost could he read the account books so quickly.
If you had read the account books as carefully as they did, you would have only been able to read roughly in these seven hours and not finish them at all!
However, Hu Changan did not know what the Jin Yiwei were thinking.
The next day, he arrived at the side hall on time.
Seeing Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Hu Changan said politely: "Master Mao, could you please allocate ten Jin Yiwei for me?"
"Today I want to go to this minister's home to check the accounts."
When Mao Xiang heard this, he was also stunned.
What, is this kid finally planning to give up right there?
Go check the accounts after only looking at them for one day?
This is nonsense!
However, Mao Xiang chose ten young and strong young men for Hu Changan.
These Jin Yiwei are all good-tempered.
Mao Xiang had already anticipated that Hu Changan would be in a panic when he went to check the accounts.
To be on the safe side, Mao Xiang specially selected a few Jin Yiwei with good temperaments.
In this way, even if Hu Changan comes here, these Jinyi guards will not cause any big conflicts with Hu Changan.
So under Mao Xiang's complicated eyes, Hu Changan took the ten imperial guards to the minister's home.
At this time, the minister had already gone to court, leaving only some female relatives at home.
After hearing about Hu Changan's intention, the minister's wife quickly let them in with fear.
Now everyone in the government and the public has heard about this unprecedented case.
As the wife of the person involved, she naturally knew about this matter.
But she never expected that the first person Jin Yiwei came to check would be their home!
Although she knew that her husband was not corrupt, her wife still felt a little uneasy when she suddenly saw so many fierce guards.
However, to the woman's surprise, the guards in royal robes did not do anything cruel after entering the door. Instead, they stared closely at a young man in official attire in the team.
It seems that this young man should be the person in charge of this operation.
This young man is none other than Hu Changan.
When Hu Changan saw everyone staring at him, he quickly cleared his throat and said, "According to the records in the account book, the most valuable things in this family's home should be a large antique vase and a set of pear wood bedding. Please excuse me.
Please help with the search."
"The value of the large antique vase is about twenty taels of silver."
"And that set of pear wood bedding is worth about fifty taels of silver."
