You can guard against thieves day and night, but you can’t guard against thieves in your own home.
It turned out that the business empire of the rich man Li had been invaded by rats, and they were born in his family. Moreover, the rats seemed to have become spirits, and they were very experienced. They had made the accounts watertight. The rich man Li and his accountant checked for several days but could not find any problems. If they checked the accounts, they would not find any problems. If they did not check, the rats would empty the granary. Especially since they could not find any problems this time, they would become more unscrupulous in the future. Now they have started to collude with other businesses... It would be strange if it was not a problem.
However, fake is fake after all, no matter how watertight it is, it is still a fake account. As long as it is a fake account, it will always be found out if it is checked.
As for the reason why the problem with the account books was not found out, it was nothing more than a matter of method, approach and time. Others have spent so many years carefully preparing the account books, and you just have two accountants and only a few days to find out the problem.
The accounting method of the Ming Dynasty is probably the single-entry accounting method of income and expenditure, or the three-legged account. Now it is the Jiajing period, and it is probably already a triangular account. However, this is not a problem, I have learned all of this in my previous life.
When I was learning the ancient accounting method, I joked with my classmates that I learned a set of dragon-slaying skills in an era when there were no dragons... I didn't expect that what I lost in one place could be gained in another. What I learned before can now be put to use.
Zhu Ping'an thought about the past and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. What a coincidence! He was thinking about whether he should recommend himself again. It just so happened that it could be considered as repaying a favor.
Before Zhu Ping'an could recommend himself, the sinister girl Li Shu started yelling.
"Okay, Zhu Ping'an, you're grinning. Are you gloating over someone else's misfortune?"
The scheming girl was complaining to the maid. Suddenly she saw Zhu Ping'an curling his lips. At this moment, he was actually smiling. The scheming girl couldn't help it and pointed at Zhu Ping'an with her slender jade finger. Her eyes were wide open and full of anger.
"You are such an ungrateful person! You are just the same as them!" The sinister girl Li Shu glared at Zhu Ping'an hard. She was so angry that her outstretched fingers were shaking with anger.
Ungrateful person
Why do I think of the forty taels of silver when I hear these three words
Because of this, for the first time, Zhu Ping'an did not feel angry about the unreasonable behavior of the black-hearted girl.
"I'm not gloating, I just think I can help." Zhu Ping'an looked at the sinister girl and said lightly.
As soon as Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, the sinister girl immediately let out a disdainful smile and a sarcastic voice.
"Help? How can you help? You think you are great just because you passed the exam. You are so conceited! You think you can read the account book just because you can read. Who do you think you are? You are just a toad and you are so arrogant!"
The black-bellied girl pouted her lips, made sarcastic remarks, and looked down on others.
Sure enough, he is as sinister, venomous, and arrogant as ever, making people want to beat him up.
This girl has nothing but contempt for me and looks down on me in every way. I guess she must have had her head stuck in the door at that time to let someone give her money, otherwise I just can't understand why.
As for the speculation that a lady from a wealthy family falls in love with a poor scholar, just get out of here. This is all nonsense. If this girl were in the modern world, she would definitely be much more materialistic than that girl named Mano who "would rather cry in a BMW than laugh on a bicycle". This is a girl who changes into a new outfit every day, and never wears the same outfit twice. Even if I were hit on the head by a door 18 times, I would never have such a speculation.
Just by listening to her calling him a toad on one side and a poor guy on the other, you can tell her attitude towards you.
Besides, I have no interest in this kind of black-bellied tsundere. So what if she is pretty? Anyway, I have no interest in conquering or training her.
Therefore, Zhu Ping'an thought of helping the Li family this time. He didn't care why the Li family gave him money. He would never have to worry about it again after helping them.
"I have some knowledge of account books, maybe I can..." Zhu Pingan said lightly.
There is no martial arts in the world that is invincible except speed. The dark-hearted girl has completely grasped the essence of it. Zhu Ping'an was interrupted with disdain before he could finish his words.
"Read your book!" The black-hearted girl rolled her eyes.
"This bad guy can even brag." The chubby maid Huaer also pouted and whispered in agreement with the sinister girl.
The two girls' whispered comments on Zhu Ping'an were transmitted through the air to Zhu Ping'an's ears, causing the young man who volunteered to take a break.
Forget it, I really thought too much. I should find a few more accountants, spend more time, be slow and careful, and I can always find loopholes in the account book. Fake is fake after all. Why do I have to use myself? Really, haha...
At worst, I can just give her a taste of her own medicine. I can just find someone and some excuse to return the money to her.
After thinking about it, Zhu Ping'an felt relieved. He put the books into his bag and prepared to leave.
"Hurry up, put all the account books in the study, and be careful not to fold any corner."
When Zhu Ping'an was about to say goodbye and leave, Uncle Wang, the accountant who used to be in charge of the study, shouted and ordered six servants to carry three large stacks of account books into the study.
Nima
How come there are so many account books? How big a business did Mr. Li do? These should only be the account books of the shopkeepers with problems! No wonder Mr. Li couldn't find any problems with the account bookkeepers at home. With so many account books, if he used the ancient method to check the accounts, he would have to hire at least three times more account books.
"Uncle Wang, I've borrowed the book." Zhu Ping'an said, patting his schoolbag.
"Oh, young Master Zhu, I heard that your performance in the exam this time shocked the whole town. Well done, you're doing great. I have high hopes for you. Just take the book. I trust you." Accountant Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead, praised Zhu Ping'an, and waved his hand.
It seemed that Accountant Wang was also tortured by the account bookkeeping.
"Uncle Wang, please take your time, I won't disturb you with your work." Zhu Ping'an slung his schoolbag over his shoulder and bowed.
"Go back and study hard. I have high hopes for you." When Uncle Wang instructed the servant to put the account book away, he did not forget to turn around and give Zhu Ping'an some instructions.
"Thank you for your good wishes." Zhu Ping'an smiled innocently.
The scheming girl in the distance heard this and curled her lips in disdain, saying, "A half-full bottle is a knock."
This girl must be sick. If I am humble, she says I am hypocritical; if I am a little immodest, she says I am self-righteous and self-satisfied.
It really is what he deserves.
"Thanks for the reminder, young lady."
Zhu Ping'an pulled up a silly smile of disapproval, bowed to the scheming girl from a distance, and then said goodbye and left.
It's just like a magnanimous elder facing a little kid who is throwing a tantrum.
"Cheeky..."
The scheming girl was angered by Zhu Ping'an's calm reaction. She pouted and uttered another sound of contempt.
Unfortunately, Zhu Ping'an had already walked away, and the black-bellied girl stomped her feet in anger. (To be continued...)
