Daqin: Qin Shihuang can hear my heart

Chapter 556 Provocation
Young Master Cui admitted that he could not pass the first test, but he was not discouraged. He was still full of confidence, and there was even a little cunning in his eyes.

According to his wishes, the old man said loudly: "Please do the second test, calculation. There are two identical money records here, which record the income of salt and iron in the county within a year. I personally went to the salt and iron offices to collect them. It is absolutely fair, and the total has not been calculated."

"The two of you do the calculations first, and the accountant does the calculations later. Whoever calculates the results accurately and with the fastest time wins."

Yan'er nodded, this is what she discussed with Confucian elder, it is absolutely fair.Without the slightest hesitation, Young Master Cui readily agreed, and stood up first, waving at the back, and a person behind immediately stood up, cupped his hands at Young Master Cui, and walked to Qian Ji.

"What are you going to do?"

When Yan'er saw it, she hurriedly shouted.

But Young Master Cui responded calmly: "You just said that the second test is a trick, and you didn't say that you can invite people, that is to say, as long as you win, you can pass the second test, right Confucian?"

Looking at the old man with a smirk.

Old Ru was stunned. Indeed, Yan'er did not clearly explain the rules of this test. Since she didn't say anything, there is naturally no limit to who will pass the test.

Young Master Cui caught a loophole in customs clearance, Yan'er suddenly became angry, and blamed her for being negligent.

"That's right, let's start!" Elder Ru looked at Yan'er and nodded.

Yan'er had no choice but to agree.

"Yan'er, you'd better invite someone to come over!" Seeing Yan'er's displeased face, Young Master Cui laughed heartily and teased.

He knows Yan'er too well, if there is a competition between the real talents of the two, even ten young masters Cui will not be able to beat Yan'er, but young master Cui will catch loopholes, this is why he is full of confidence.

At this moment, the accountant in the county mansion is on the list. He has been accountant for a lifetime, and his calculations can be said to be very handy, and he rarely makes mistakes.

It is his credit that the accounts in the county mansion are in order.If such a person participates in arithmetic, Yan'er will definitely lose.

This is Young Master Cui's idea, and of course everyone's idea.

Yan'er frowned, as everyone expected, although her calculation skills were not bad, but compared with the accountant, she was not as good as she was.

"What should I do?" Looking at the stacks of heavy account books and the disdainful expression on the accountant's face, Yan'er became anxious.

"Yan'er, why haven't you started yet? You don't want to play tricks and delay the time, do you? It's useless. Your strength lies here, and you can't win no matter what."

"Of course, you can admit defeat, there is no need to make such a fool of yourself."

Young Master Cui was very proud, and continued: "Actually, you still have a chance. I failed the first test, and I passed the second test. One win and one draw, we are tied, so let's go directly to the third test!"

Obviously, in the eyes of Young Master Cui, there is no suspense for Yan'er to lose.

The county guard at the side spoke, but he said to the county magistrate: "Juncheng, do you want to play tricks? Quickly let your daughter admit defeat, don't waste time."

Jun Cheng was in a dilemma, he sighed deeply and had no choice but to nod, in fact, he also thought that his daughter would definitely lose, so there was no need to waste time.

Of course, he was also a little weak. If Master Cui passed this level, then the third level would be even more suspenseless. Although Young Master Cui is ignorant, he still has some achievements in archery.

It is said that he can hit the bull's-eye within a hundred steps, and he can be called a sharpshooter. Although Yan'er also dabbles in hunting, she is a rookie and can be said to be vulnerable.

"Yan'er, let's admit defeat! In fact, it may not be necessary to marry him." Jun Cheng persuaded his daughter, but his daughter refused, "No, I will never marry him."

It is so willful and willful.

The county guard was furious and scolded: "Juncheng, are you going back on your word? Then don't blame me for getting mad."

The county magistrate was most afraid of the magistrate getting mad, so he lowered his head in fright.

"No, my father didn't turn his back on what he said, and did you win by waiting?" It was Yan'er's voice, and she cupped her hands at Elder Ru, "Elder Ru, if Young Master Cui can ask someone to settle accounts, can I do the same?"

In times of crisis, he thought of one person.

"Of course!" Elder Ru nodded.

"Very good!" Yan'er glared at Young Master Cui, then told the maid beside her, the maid frowned, but still left.

How ironic these words sounded to Young Master Cui, what Yaner meant was that she also asked someone to settle the score, hehe!Can't help but secretly laugh.

The best accountant in Donghai County is the Accountant Hu whom he invited. Even if Yan'er is invited to hire the accountant, it's still a crushed existence. No one in Donghai County can beat Accountant Hu.

After a while, a person wearing a black veil walked in under the leadership of the maid. Who is this person if not Li Zhao?
When he came, he asked the maid to get him a veil, naturally so that no one would see his true face. After all, Xiang Gong's people were likely to appear here, and if they were discovered, it would be troublesome.

The person Yan'er wanted to invite was him. In fact, Yan'er was also a dead horse and a living horse doctor. She couldn't find anyone in Donghai County who could beat Hu's accountant, so she had to try Li Zhao. A person who could compose such poems must not be too bad at his skills.

As for whether she could win Accountant Hu, she didn't have much hope, she just hoped that she wouldn't lose too badly.

Li Zhao couldn't help frowning when he saw the scene in front of him, when the maid asked him to come, he only said to help the young lady, and the young lady would forgive him, so he agreed to come, but he didn't know there were so many people.

He couldn't help but glance across the audience, and suddenly he found an acquaintance. It was the clever Confucian elder who was bothering him at that time.

Looking at the others, the person in charge is full of authority, and he must be a local leader, but he doesn't care. With his status in Daqin at this moment, no one can compare with him except the emperor.

At this time, the woman changed her previous attitude and smiled all over her face, but her words were still domineering: "If you help me win Young Master Cui, I will forgive you."

She raised the decibel of forgiveness, but her eyes were eager.

But the word 'forgive' caused Young Master Cui's dissatisfaction. Forgive means what did this man do to Yan'er, and what did that kid do to Yan'er?
At this moment, the victory is in front of him, and he has already regarded Yan'er as his slave, and cannot allow anyone to do anything to Yan'er.

"Boy, what exactly did you do to Yan'er, tell the truth, otherwise you won't be able to get out of here."

Looking at the tattered clothes on Li Zhao's body, he ignored Li Zhao's other identities and scolded angrily.

Li Zhaozheng wanted to agree to the woman's request, but when he heard that this man was so domineering, he couldn't help being furious, how could he be reprimanded by others today, and shouted: "What did I do to Yan'er? Does it have anything to do with you?"

This is the rhythm of provocation. Young Master Cui became angry instantly, pointing at Li Zhao and threatening: "Boy, you are miserable, you will definitely not be able to get out of here today, no, you will not be able to get out of here now."

After speaking, with a big wave of his hand, some slaves came from behind and wanted to attack Li Zhao, but a voice stopped them.

"Don't be fooled, don't you want to cheat in front of me." This is the voice of the old man, Yan'er invited Li Zhao to settle the score, but as the opposing party, Young Master Cui wanted to do something to him, this is cheating.

This is not the point, the point is that he smelled a sense of familiarity from this person, as if he had seen him there before, but he couldn't say it out for a while.

After being so shouted at, the sheriff said, "You all stand down, don't make trouble, we will discuss this matter later."

He meant to deal with Li Zhao after the test was over, but the anger in his heart was also rising.

In Donghai County, no one dared to ignore his son in this way, this is the first one.

"Boy, do you know who I am?" The sheriff stood up and stared at Li Zhao.

Li Zhao completely ignored him: "I don't care who you are, and I'm not interested in you at all."

The sheriff was instantly furious, his face contorted, but due to the embarrassment of the old man, he had to sit down with a 'hum', shaking his sleeves, and at the same time warned: "Boy, after this matter is over, you'd better pray to God to find a way out for you."

Outright threat.

Li Zhao replied: "I'm waiting, I hope it will be as you wish."

The atmosphere was tense for a while, but it was Yan'er who finally broke the silence, "Go and settle the score quickly, I forgive you."

This person deserves to be forgiven for his arrogance against the sheriff just now. He is too masculine, and men are born to be like this.

Li Zhao nodded, and then walked to the side where several books and records were piled up.

You don't need to think about it to know that the so-called accounting is to calculate the accounts of these accounts.

After traveling for more than [-] years, he really has little contact with accounting. The account of Shanglinyuan is managed by his uncle, but he has modern methods and knowledge, how can he be afraid of it.

It's just a matter of reckoning, and it's done overnight.

"Let's get started! If you can calculate the time for a stick of incense, if it is not accurate, you will win."

As soon as Confucianism's voice sounded, someone lit incense.

Hu's accountant is worthy of being the accountant of the county, and his techniques are very skilled. After a few retreats, he prepared everything and opened the account book, which is the money book.

Immediately, he pulled out a small bag from his waist, and quickly opened the bag to reveal the small stick inside.

Li Zhao was no stranger to this. He had seen his uncle settle accounts like this when he was in Chang'an Township. He was thinking of inventing something to reduce his uncle's workload, but he finally forgot.

This is counting chips. In fact, it has been widely used in accounting since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Its algorithm is very simple. It uses small sticks to record, just like modern kindergarten students use glue sticks to calculate the most basic addition and subtraction.

In fact, the later abacus was also developed on the basis of counting chips, and it was basically mature after the Northern Song Dynasty.

In other words, the arithmetic tools at this moment are very primitive, and it is because of the limitations of the tools that calculations are very slow.

Li Zhao couldn't help shaking his head when he saw it, he couldn't help but wait until he was done with the stick.

It's not that he can't count, but that he has been insulted. From his previous life, as an adult, he is like competing with a kindergarten child in arithmetic, which is very embarrassing.

However, what Li Zhao thought was embarrassing, in the eyes of others, he was intimidated by Hu's accountant's skillful calculation.

Young Master Cui couldn't help laughing when he saw it: "Boy, you don't know anything, do you?"
