Chapter 8
The third wife, Sun, woke up very early in the morning. As soon as she opened her eyes, her left eyelid kept twitching. She was eating breakfast when Cuicui, a maidservant in green clothes, hurried over.

"Yiyuan is flooded! It's flooded!"

Sun angrily threw the pancakes in his hand!
She knew that He Xianjin would not be honest and eat green vegetables in peace!

Mrs. Sun lifted the hem of her skirt, and ran towards Yiyuan like the wind, hurried around the corridor, and saw a shivering figure wrapped in the corner of the courtyard, surrounded by Qu Erniang and Mrs. Zhang, and then looked inside Yiyuan, Haven't seen any flames and smoke curling around?

"Where is the water?"

Zhang Pozi silently pointed to the toilet room in Yiyuan.

Mrs. Sun looked over, just in time to see a wisp of weak green smoke flying halfway through the sky and collapsing suddenly.

Sun gritted her teeth, glanced at Qu Erniang, and suppressed her anger, "Bring Miss Jin to my room? Call some women and girls to see if there are other places in the yard that are on fire. We must thoroughly investigate the cause of the fire." Depend on!"

"Bring it back to the Bima Hall."

Qu Erniang neatly wrapped He Xianjin in a layer of hemp cloth, "This fire is strange."

Why not strange!
The toilet caught fire, unheard of!

Who would play with fire in the bathroom?
Playing with shit in the toilet is more normal than playing with fire.

That old godly woman in Bimatang must have suspected what she did to Yiyuan!

Sun held her breath.

What did she do - she didn't allow the kitchen to feed the girl...

Before Mrs. Sun could say anything, she saw Qu Erniang and Mrs. Zhang helping He Xianjin up and walking out. After walking two steps, Qu Erniang turned her head and said, "Please go to the Bianma Hall with the third wife. This yard is built with mortise and tenon wood, a fire is a big deal, if it is not handled carefully, all the property that our Chen family sold piece by piece will be gone!"

Want to accuse her of guilt?

Sun was so angry that she was going crazy, when she looked up, she saw He Xianjin's slapped face protruding from the hemp cloth, smiling secretly and brightly at her.

Sun: @%Q##%%#%! ! !

Forget it!

He Xianjin wrapped himself tightly in the sackcloth, and hurriedly followed behind Qu Erniang, gradually smelling the astringent smell of lime and the unique fishy smell of green grass and tree bark along the way.

The furnishing hall is simple, with a square table, two lamps, three chests of drawers and a cabinet full of books.

Apart from these, there are dozens of stacks of paper of various colors.

He Xianjin quickly glanced around.

The owner of the house is a very down-to-earth person.

Pragmatic people prefer straight balls.

Therefore, as soon as Mrs. Qu entered the main room, He Xianjin quickly made a choice between kneeling or not kneeling-kneel, you just burned the toilet of other people's house.

He Xianjin hit the ground with a "plop", kneeling like a modern man.

"Madam, Xiao Jin is wrong."

He Xianjin spoke calmly, "Xiaojin got up in the morning and set fire to the log in the toilet room with a torch, and when the log was lit, Xiaojin poured water to extinguish it, and then asked Madam Zhang to report the water to the third wife and you. "

Mrs. Sun was just about to hear what fart He Xianjin was about to fart, and after listening: Huh?
Madam Qu didn't move her eyebrows, "You set the fire just to see me?"

He Xianjin nodded.

Yes, under Sun's high pressure, she chose to set fire in the midst of giving up and indulging.

"Why do you want to see me?"

He Xianjin raised his head, his eyes were calm and calm, "I don't want to marry. Compared with marrying, I can do more things for the Chen family."

He Xianjin took out a booklet bound with jute paper and hemp twine from his bosom, and handed it to Mrs. Qu, "This is after the death of the mother, the accounts and favors of the Yiyuan were sent to, and the two sisters in the third wife's house sent the main house A seal is attached, so the inherent assets of Yiyuan, oh, things that cannot be immediately converted into money and silver, I did not count them in."

"The general ledger in the booklet is the funeral expenses allocated by the third master to Yiyuan, a total of 50 taels, 18 taels for gifts received, 39 taels for funerals and gifts, and 18 taels for the balance."

Mrs. Sun was confused when she heard it, and thought that He Xianjin wanted to settle the score with the Chen family, so she scolded in a low voice, "Money, money, money! A little girl, the Chen family has raised you for ten years. Isn't it too late for you to settle the score now?" !"

He Xianjin looked at Mrs. Sun without a word.

In terms of intelligence alone, Sun and Chen Fu should be able to get along well for a hundred years.

Mrs. Qu raised her eyebrows and took He Xianjin's account book.

The paper is very rough, but the hemp thread binding is very standard, the characters are a bit strange, the strokes are thin, and it doesn't look like it was written with a brush.

Mrs. Zhang took a small look and suddenly realized.

Oh, that's what Sister Jin asked her for jute paper and bamboo tubes that day?
Booklets made of jute paper, and bamboo tubes for writing?

Mrs. Qu opened it to read, and was immediately taken aback.

On the first line of the home page, two pieces of information are indicated: the date of account establishment, the summary from the fourth day of November to the thirteenth day of November in Zhaode 14; the name of the account book, the total funeral expenses for Yiyuan Heniang.

The second page is drawn in two lines, the middle score column, the heavenly stems and the earthly branches, which are paid up and down. The big and small categories are clear at a glance, and the general "Nissing" is adopted. After the end of each day, the changes of the day are summed up on the basis of the previous day. The summaries are summed up every five days and every ten days.

this way of accounting
Mrs. Qu looked at Xian Jin in shock.

He Xianjin was frank on the face and ashamed in his heart.

I'm sorry, colleagues from Shanxi Shanxi Merchants.

Let me borrow your "Longmen Four-legged Account" which was founded in the late Qing Dynasty.

He Xianjin flipped through the book and concluded that this is roughly modeled on the Northern Song Dynasty, which was not in war. The accounts in the Yuan and Song Dynasties were still based on "flowing yuan accounts", with a single entry and exit, and the end of the month. It is a "single-type bookkeeping model", with obvious shortcomings. It is a big account of the flow of water, such as "x month x day, x year, Zhang Xiaohua bought five yuan head flower", which belongs to expenditure, "x year x month x day, Zhang Xiaohua picked up eight yuan on the road, but she did not I didn’t hand it over to the police uncle, but chose to keep it by myself.” This is income.

"Single bookkeeping" actually records time and simple income and expenditure, and you will be dumbfounded when you encounter large transactions or non-advanced income and expenditure.

The first "compound bookkeeping" in history was the "Heaven and Earth Account" invented by Shanxi Shanxi Merchants, also known as "Dragon Gate Four-legged Account". Equal", from a broad category, there is a difference between "payment and deposit".

In short, "single bookkeeping" records time, and "compound bookkeeping" records categories.

If a big business uses time to keep accounts, not only the process is cumbersome, but also looking through the old accounts is a pile of bad and dead accounts. Therefore, in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the rapid development of private capital gave birth to the more convenient "Longmen Account" and "Four Accounts". foot account".

He Xianjin, who studies business and has a family business, started from a small incision, and roughly made He Ainiang's funeral expenses into the form of "Dragon Gate Account", and showed Mrs. Qu that the account can be kept in this way.

To put it simply, He Xianjin is using the wisdom of later generations to overwhelm the predecessors, using the long-term development of the times, and bullying the old days with narrow vision and lagging development.

Well, not bright, but quite aboveboard.

Not recommended, but useful.

Mrs. Qu gently closed the account book, and squinted to look at the thin and innocent girl below, "You want to be an accountant?"

He Xianjin pursed his lips and said softly, "I can be the accountant."

I can also be more than just a cashier.

"Just like you, you can be the voice of the huge Chen family, you can lead the Chen family from Jing County to Xuanzhou, and you can use the power of the whole family to give up an official position and make the Chen family reborn."

He Xianjin's tone gradually became firm, "Compared to marrying a bookkeeper, I can be a bookkeeper."

"You can just give me a bad account, and then call the annual accountant at the Mulberry Paper Workshop in the east of the city to compete with me to see who can calculate quickly and accurately."

As soon as He Xianjin said this.

Mrs. Qu was the first to cast a sidelong glance at Mrs. Sun.

Sun's complexion turned pale immediately.

God testify!

She was just hungry for He Xianjin's rice, and she hasn't started to force He Xianjin to marry yet!
 Let's move the release time to around ten o'clock.

  What do you think?
  I am grateful to the book friends who can't see the specific names in the background, and there are chapters of 96 and Shiitake mushrooms.

  ah! !I can finally give out red envelopes!Try the water today, and start stuffing big red envelopes tomorrow! ! !
