Chapter 170: The truth is finally revealed
“Although it is certain that there is something wrong with the account book, what exactly went wrong?”
The gray-haired old accountant, after calming down, raised another question The problem is, although the method just now can detect the falsified accounts, it is still unclear where the falsification was done.
After the old accountant with sideburns raised this question, everyone focused their attention on Zhu Pingan. After what happened just now, these accountants have recognized Zhu Pingan's ability. Therefore, at this time, hope was set on Zhu Pingan.
Of course Zhu Pingan did not disappoint them.
"Of course, this method can determine the false accounts, but it cannot find out the specific inflow or outflow of the fraud, but I happen to have a method here."
Zhu Pingan said, from a table I found a piece of blank rice paper, then picked up a brush and dipped it in ink, and wrote a form on the rice paper, which is a modern double-entry accounting form.
The account books that Rich Man Li brought back from outside are actually single-entry account books. To be precise, they are our country's three-legged account books. Single-entry accounting books are incomparable to modern double-entry accounting books. Zhu Pingan took accounting as an elective when he was in college, and he taught about the ancient three-legged accounting, and of course he also taught our country's double-entry accounting method. The three-legged ledger lags behind the double-entry bookkeeping. Although it is called Chinese double-entry bookkeeping, it is still single-entry bookkeeping in a strict sense. The three-legged ledger has stepped into double-entry bookkeeping in terms of searching for accounts, which costs a lot of time. Manpower and material resources may not necessarily be able to detect it. So Zhu Ping'an presented the double-entry accounting method he learned in college in the form of tables, and used the double-entry accounting method to organize these three-legged accounts.
The double-entry accounting method is clear at a glance. After sorting it out, you can easily check for errors and omissions. Naturally, false accounts will show up on this kind of double-entry accounting table.
These accountants are also experts in the ancient accounting profession, so they have no idea about the double-entry accounting form given by Zhu Ping'an. After looking at it for a while, I saw the mystery.
"Wonderful"
"It's so wonderful that I dare say that this accounting method will definitely become popular in the world."
"The same account is recorded twice in two related accounts. , great, so that you can understand the ins and outs of every economic business, comprehensively Understand the process and results of economic activities. ”
“Wonderful, this accounting method can easily perform a trial balance on the results of the account records to check the correctness of the account records.”
The accountants looked at it for a while and couldn't help but applaud. Amazed.
Seeing that they were happy, these accountants drew a large number of forms one by one according to the forms given by Zhu Pingan. They briefly asked Zhu Pingan about a few important points, and then they seemed to be resurrected one by one without stopping for a moment. Register the first year's account books in the account book one by one using this form.
Occasionally when I am unsure about something, I ask Zhu Ping'an for advice. His attitude is completely different from the first.
"Quick, tell the kitchen to prepare meals and prepare special dishes, regardless of cost." Rich Man Li looked overjoyed. He quickly urged his servants to let the kitchen prepare wine and food.
"Young Master Zhu is really young and promising." Rich Man Li was very enthusiastic about Zhu Ping'an, as if he were an elder. He waved his hand, "Stay. You must stay and taste my family's food." Chef's skills."
Seeing this, the sinister girl rolled her eyes at her father.
Baozi's maid Hua'er's face was flushed, and she didn't know how excited she was.
Seeing this, Zhu Pingan also knew that he would not be able to return home at noon, so he asked Rich Man Li to have his servants send a message home. So that the parents at home will not worry.
“Humph, don’t be so proud!”
The sinister girl glared at Zhu Pingan. Cherry's little mouth said a silent word to Zhu Ping'an.
Although Zhu Ping'an couldn't read lips, looking at the arrogant and eye-rolling behavior of the sinister girl Li Shu, he knew that the words would not be good.
Really, I definitely don’t get along with this girl. She doesn’t like her, and I don’t like her either.
The accountants are working enthusiastically, and it doesn’t look like they have been working overtime for three days. Even the grey-haired old accountant seemed to be twenty years younger at this moment. His drive, enthusiasm and energy made even Zhu Pingan feel a little ashamed.
The accountants were working in full swing, and Zhu Ping'an couldn't sit still. From time to time, he would be asked for advice by the accountants, and had to move between the three tables and accountants.
More than a dozen accountants, plus Zhu Pingan, are busy without stopping for a moment. Zhu Ping'an only relied on the Ming Dynasty's counting method and did not reveal Arabic numerals or modern calculation methods. After all, this was too shocking. The accounting method was just an innovation on the original basis, and it was still acceptable. Modern numbers and calculation methods are simply groundbreaking and cannot be explained.
So, Zhu Ping'an also followed the Ming Dynasty's counting method to help. As for the abacus, Zhu Ping'an still couldn't play with it. It was slow and clumsy to use, which made Li Shu laugh at it. However, this also made the accountants feel normal. She smiled and comforted him by saying that practice makes perfect, and Mr. Zhu doesn't have to worry. .
It's been a long time since the steaming meals were served, but these cashiers had no intention of stopping. Even Rich Man Li asked his servants to treat him twice, but these cashiers had no intention of stopping.
The food was cold, and Rich Man Li waved his servants to take it to the kitchen to reheat it.
“Hahaha, I found it. There is a huge problem with the outflow of one thousand two hundred and thirty-five cents and four cents and zero.”
“I also found a place. Wang Xiaoer received seven thousand four hundred and fifty-nine taels of salt and silver, three cents and two cents, but it doesn’t match the number.”
“I discovered two things at once”
"No, there is something very wrong here."
The accountants all discovered the loopholes in the account books one after another. They all had dark circles under their eyes but were as excited as a cat that had seen something fishy.
After hearing this, Rich Man Li shook his fat body and strode over excitedly, making the floor squeak under his feet.
“Okay, Lao Wang, Lao Wang, write it down, write it down!” Rich Man Li’s face was red, he was angry and excited, and he waved his fat hands and asked the accountant Wang to record this year’s results one by one. Problems that arise are recorded in the ledger.
Lao Wang? Lao Wang next door
When Zhu Pingan heard this, he glanced at Wang's accountant several times with a strange look on his face. The scheming girl Li Shu looked at Zhu Pingan several times inquiringly.
At this time, the food has been heated twice.
These accountants refused to give up and wanted to check the account books for the remaining years, but at this time there was a clear "gu~~".
The accountants followed the sound and looked.
"Haha, I'm ashamed, I already protested in my belly," Zhu Ping'an explained with a calm smile, calm and composed, without any embarrassment at all.
All the accountants couldn't help but laugh too. It was definitely not the kind of ridicule at the beginning, but a kind smile.
"I'm too impatient to wait. Hahaha, have a meal and have a meal. It's not too late to check later." The gray-haired accountant smiled kindly and suggested a meal.
The old accountant’s proposal to have meals was unanimously approved. (End of this chapter)
