While the two were talking, Zhang Ruiguang came over with a bookkeeper.
"Ma'am, madam, these are the accounts for this month. Please take a look at them."
The accountant put his account book on the table and stood aside, waiting for questions.
Wu Shu naturally took the account book over and said to Chen Jingke, "You should also come and take a look."
"Okay, let me see how much wealth we have." Chen Jingke said with a smile.
Sun Simiao used to look after the accounts, but not long ago he handed this matter over to Wu Shu. So before she got married, she had already entered the role of the hostess in advance.
Opening the account book, Chen Jingke started to feel dizzy after just taking a few glances at it. Everyone who looked at this thing was as big as two.
Wu Shu watched it with great interest, and would use a pen to do calculations from time to time. Well, she used the numerical symbols and vertical calculations "invented" by Chen Jingke.
But just watching her verification process gave Chen Jingke a headache. This made him miss the computer so much, where the results of inputting various parameters were clear at a glance.
The next best thing is to have an old-fashioned calculator. If that doesn't work, an abacus will do.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said: "This account book is too complicated. Let me design a new account book and accounting method for you."
Before anyone else could say anything, the accountant jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on and said:
"The real person can't do it. This accounting method has been handed down from our ancestors, so we don't dare to mess with it casually. If a mistake is made and the accounts are confused, there will be a big problem."
Chen Jingke smiled and said: "It's not enough to stick to the rules. We must learn to innovate. If the ancients didn't know about innovation, we would still be using knotted ropes to record events."
The accountant said unhappily: "Just innovate other things. It's best not to tamper with the accounts."
"You are still young and don't understand the intricacies of accounting. Don't do it casually. Who can bear the responsibility if something goes wrong?"
Chen Jingke was about to explain, but Wu Shu's pretty face turned cold and scolded: "How presumptuous, who gave you the courage to talk to a real person like this? Is there any dignity?"
The accountant probably didn't expect that she would dare to reprimand him. He felt that he couldn't keep it off his face and said a little bit angrily:
"The truth is the truth. Even if the lawsuit goes to the temple owner, I will still say the same thing. No one can touch the accounts."
Wu Shu sneered and said, "Hey, you're still working hard. Today I'm going to set up some rules for you, so as not to spread the word and others think we have no rules at Zixiao Temple."
Mr. Accountant was angry. Everyone who had seen him before nodded and bowed. Sun Simiao was also polite to him. This was the first time he had been so angry.
"Okay, okay, let's go find the viewer to comment and find out who is messing around."
Chen Jingke was confused at first, was Wu Shu making a fuss out of a molehill? After thinking about it again, he understood her plan, which was to establish her authority.
At the same time, I also want to take this matter into my own hands.
Whether a housewife's words are effective or not is directly related to whether she can control the accounting office, so operating in the accounting office is the fastest and most convenient way to establish her authority.
But you can't just attack someone for no reason. You have to have a reason and evidence. Now it's the accountant who is rushing to deliver the excuse to her.
The tone of his words just now can be either big or small. At the very least, it is a gaffe, and at the most serious level, it means disrespecting the master.
Now that he met a hostess who wanted to establish her authority, it could only be said that he had no eyes for her.
Chen Jingke originally wanted to calm things down, but after thinking about this, he changed his mind.
Of course he must support his wife, otherwise how would she be able to take charge of the Zixiaoguan family in the future.
As for Mr. Accountant, feel free to do whatever you want, I won't help you.
There were also people around who noticed the dispute and stood watching from a distance.
Chen Jingke immediately stepped forward and gave Wu Shu a firm look.
Wu Shu's heart warmed up, and she became more confident after receiving support, and said: "I won't cry until I see the coffin. Zhang Kutou, please lead someone to seal all the accounts. If there is any problem, you are the only one to ask."
The accountant also took the risk and said, "Okay, today I want to see what you can do to me."
Zhang Ruiguang on the side saw that Chen Jingke had come forward, and he couldn't help but feel shuddered. He knew the character of this young master.
No matter how easy it is to say anything in a friendly manner, once you get serious, you won't show mercy at all, and you won't give up until you achieve your goal.
Now that he has spoken, it doesn't matter who is right or wrong. Anyway, the accountant has done it all.
The difference is that if there are no problems with the accounts, he can still get away with it, but if there are problems, everything will be over.
There is no point in looking for the temple owner, because the temple owner definitely supports Xiao Zhenren.
Zhang Ruiguang couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that he didn't get too close to the accounting clerk. There was even a small friction over the issue of items entering and exiting, otherwise he would have been implicated this time.
…
Several people came to Sun Simiao's small courtyard, and the accountant first came forward to cry with an aggrieved look.
No matter how hard he worked, how much Mrs. Wu made things difficult for him, the young master wanted to tamper with the accounts, and even wrongfully accused him of making false accounts.
After Sun Simiao comforted him, he asked Chen Jingke and Wu Shudao: "Tell me what's going on."
Wu Shu was a little nervous. Chen Jingke shook her hand and said first: "I just checked the accounts and I thought the current account books were too complicated and cumbersome, so I wanted to design a new one that is simpler."
"Not only did the accounting clerk disagree, but he also spoke rudely to me. So I suspected that there was something wrong with his accounts, so I asked Zhang Kutou to seal the accounts and make a decision after inspection."
Sun Simiao said displeasedly: "Mr. Zhao is the accountant I hired. He has never made any mistakes in the past few months. How can you just doubt him?"
Hearing this, the accountant felt proud that I was the Guanzhu's confidant.
You want to seize power now, have you ever considered the viewer’s feelings? I want you to look good today.
Wu Shu wanted to explain, but was stopped by Chen Jingke, who knew his master too well.
Sun Simiao saw everything and continued calmly: "How can Mr. Zhao meet people after you do this?"
"I'm afraid now that the whole yard suspects him of being unclean, how will he manage the accounts in the future? What do you think we should do?"
Chen Jingke pretended to be angry and said: "This is a simple matter. Check the accounts. If there are no problems with the accounts, I will apologize to him in public."
Sun Simiao said sternly: "That's all it can do. Although you are my disciple, Zixiao Temple is a place of reason. If you wrongly accuse Mr. Zhao, don't blame me for being rude."
Then he said kindly to the accounting clerk: "Mr. Zhao, what do you think of my arrangement?"
Mr. Accountant said resolutely: "Okay, please check the accounts clearly and clear my name."
That righteous and awe-inspiring look made Chen Jingke murmur in his heart. But he quickly calmed down. He didn't believe that there were cats who didn't steal fish.
You can rely on mountains and rivers to eat mountains and rivers.
A banker once said that when you take fat meat from one place to another, everything seems to be the same, but the person who takes the meat has grease on his hands.
If the old accountant doesn't want to make some money, he must be a saint.
There is only one reason why he is so confident: he is too confident in his accounting methods.
It's a pity that he doesn't know what modern account books are and what modern accounting methods are.
With his current accounting method, there is no need to do any accounting. He only needs to copy the account books using modern accounting methods, and the flaws will be revealed.
So after hearing that Sun Simiao agreed to audit the accounts, Chen Jingke immediately made his request to re-copy all the accounts using the account books he 'invented'.
Naturally, Sun Simiao would not disagree, so he asked him to quickly prepare new account books without delaying the audit.
Chen Jingke went to the backyard printing shop to find Tian Dachun and asked him to make a set of engravings and print new account books as quickly as possible.
Tian Dachun was aware of what had just happened. He, including everyone in the backyard, supported Chen Jingke, so naturally he would not hesitate and take action quickly.
After giving these instructions, Chen Jingke asked people to go to Erya Building to invite Yihe and others.
While waiting, Wu Shu asked worriedly: "Is it really okay?"
Chen Jingke explained: "Don't worry, this new account book was researched by an expert in my family. There is absolutely no problem."
Wu Shudao: "I am not doubting your account books, but I am worried about what if there is really no problem with his accounts?"
Chen Jingke asked back: "Do you believe he is clean?"
Wu Shu shook his head, but still said worriedly: "If you're not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."
Chen Jingke held her hand, squeezed it slightly, and said, "So what if he has no problem? How can he continue to do what he did after offending the young master and his wife?"
"From the moment he jumped out to cause trouble, the outcome was already doomed. Now it's just a matter of finding a legitimate reason to deal with him."
"Yes." Feeling the power he conveyed, Wu Shu's uneasy heart finally calmed down, and he asked again: "Aren't you angry if I do this?"
Chen Jingke smiled and said: "Why are you angry? From now on you will be the mistress of Zixiaoguan. If you can't even control the accountant, how can you manage other people?"
Wu Shu lowered his head in shame, feeling very sweet in his heart.
While they were talking, Yihe came over with more than ten people. When they met, they asked: "Master, what happened to Sister Wu?"
They ignored what was happening outside the window and focused on compiling dictionaries. They were probably the only people in the temple who didn't know what was going on.
Chen Jingke briefly explained the matter, and of course he beautified Wu Shu. Finally, he took the account book he drew and said:
"This is the account book I designed. Next, I will trouble you all to learn how to keep accounts with me. I will go to the front and copy all the accounts later."
Yihe hesitated and said: "There is no problem in helping us, but this account... we don't understand. What should we do if something goes wrong?"
Chen Jingke said: "Don't worry, the new accounting book is very simple. You only need to learn how to read and count before you can use it. Come here, I will teach you how to use it."
Seeing that he was so sure, everyone gathered around him out of trust.
Seeing him teaching everyone seriously, Wu Shu felt like he was filled with honey. He was indeed standing in front of him as before. With a husband like this, what more could a woman ask for.
After some teaching, everyone found that it was really simple and they could learn it as soon as they could.
There is another reason why they learn so quickly. They have seen the new mathematics textbooks written by Chen Jingke and learned the above knowledge.
It can be said to be a seamless connection.
There are only a few words in the account book, which are basically just lines. In order to save time, several carpentry masters worked at the same time and carved five wooden boards in less than half an hour.
Then five groups started printing at the same time, and soon more than 5,000 pages were printed.
He divided them into twenty account books and took them to Sun Simiao's yard.
