Chapter 739 Confident Accountant


Chapter 739 Confident Accounting Room

“Zi Hou, please come this way. It’s relatively quiet here and no one will disturb you. It’s just the right time for Zi Hou to check the account books.”

Taicang Yinku Jia Langzhong led the way from the front. , led Zhu Pingan to a row of low rooms at the back of the bank, opened a door, and stretched out his hand to invite Zhu Pingan to come in.

This is a row of old houses. They are not high. They are only two or three centimeters higher than the Zhilu in Wuyishan. They look like abandoned warehouses. They must not have been inhabited for a long time. , standing in front of the house has an eerie feeling.

"Thank you, Mr. Lao Jia, for taking the trouble." It was indeed quiet enough. Zhu Pingan glanced at it, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and thanked Mr. Jia with his hands.

"Why are you so polite to Zihou? Come in and see if the room is suitable. If it is not suitable, I will change the room with you. If it is suitable, I will have all the account books and books in Taicang for the past three years moved to you. Jia Langzhong said with a smile.

Zhu Pingan also smiled and followed Jia Langzhong into the room. The room was not small, more than 40 square meters. It should have been tidied up yesterday. The interior was fairly clean, but the light It's not very good. The room of about 40 square meters only has one window. Although the sun is bright outside, the inside of the room is not very bright.

The room was relatively empty, with no extra furnishings. There was only a table by the window, two chairs, and a small bed with a brand new thin quilt and mat.

“This mat and bedding were specially brought from home by our Zhang Guanku because we were worried that Zihou would be tired from checking the accounts and books and would not be able to rest well. With this mat and bedding, Zihou could still squint when he was tired. In a while..." Jia Langzhong said as he stood in front of the bed.

"Please also ask Mr. Jia to express my gratitude to Mr. Zhang on my behalf." Zhu Pingan handed over again.

"Look, Zihou is being polite to us again. Then I will ask someone to bring the account books over?" Jia Langzhong shook his head and smiled, then looked at Zhu Pingan and asked.

Zhu Pingan will naturally not object.

"Na Zihou, wait a moment, I will have the account books delivered, and some tea and snacks."

Jia Langzhong saw this with a smile on his face After saying that, he turned around and left, with a smile still on his lips when he went out.

This house was "carefully" selected by them. They picked this place yesterday after a lot of searching. In addition to being secluded, this house has other advantages such as lighting, comfort, ventilation, heat dissipation, etc. It couldn't be worse.

The room is fine now, but when the sun rises higher, the room will be as hot as a boiler room, and there is no ventilation. Staying in it will be a torture, and you will be sweating after a while, even if you put an ice basin in it. Use it, and living in it is almost like a year.

In the afternoon, the sun finally set in the west, and the room was not so hot anymore. However, the lighting in the room was not good. The sun set in the west, and the room was even darker. Where could I see anything? Cleaning up the ledger.

Did you choose this room to mess with Zhu Ping'an?

Not really.

The reason why they chose this house was just to make Zhu Pingan unable to stay in this room, and to influence Zhu Pingan in a subtle way, so that Zhu Pingan would check the books quickly, make a show, and go through the process quickly. Save money and add extraneous branches.

After all, Taicang belongs to the national treasury and is responsible for more than 80% of the Ming Dynasty's fiscal revenue and expenditure. The account books are so vast that if you check them carefully, let alone Zhu Pingan alone, it will take several days even if you transfer a few more accountants. Only then can it be finished.

So, they came up with such a method to urge Zhu Ping'an to inspect quickly from the side, and it was just a formality.

Think about it, so many account books, such a terrible house.

"Master Zhu, please use it slowly."

Not long after Jia Langzhong left, Someone brought tea, fruits, and snacks, which were placed on the table one by one.

Zhu Pingan nodded his thanks, poured himself a cup of tea, and observed the room while sipping the tea.

It's secluded, but the room is low, with poor lighting and poor ventilation. There are no trees outside. I guess the sun is rising and the room will be very stuffy.

Jia Langzhong and the others Have a heart.

But what does it matter?

When I was a child, the house in the old house in Xiahe was not as good as this. Moreover, when my family was separated from the old house, I lived in a thatched house for a while. In addition, when I left Xiahe Village and started the imperial examination, I was I have lived in a woodshed and an attic. In comparison, the environment of this house is not bad.

"Therefore, when Heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, he must first suffer his will, starve his muscles and bones, and work his body and skin, which will benefit him beyond what he can do."

Zhu Ping'an thought silently while drinking tea.

Just after drinking half a cup of tea, Jia Langzhong came in with four treasurers. The clerks worked together in pairs and used a stick as thick as a bowl to lift a large box. The officials brought a total of two boxes of account books.

This box is very big. When I put it down, the ground shook for a moment. The two boxes were put together like a bed.

“So much”

Zhu Pingan put down his cup and made a sound of surprise.

"Haha, these plus a box in Zhang Guan's warehouse are only for this year. Later, Mr. Zhao and the others are packing up the ones from last year and the year before last, and they will be delivered soon." Mr. Zhao explained with a smile. .

"It's just this year" Zhu Ping'an seemed to be stunned.

"Oh, this is a bead plate. It is convenient for you to use for inspection." Zhao Langzhong smiled and nodded, then handed the abacus in his hand to Zhu Pingan, "I just asked for it from the accounting room. , see if it works."

Zhu Pingan took the abacus and stretched out his hand to fiddle with it.

Doctor Zhao watched Zhu Pingan playing with the beads without blinking, and the smile on his lips became thicker. He could tell at a glance that Zhu Pingan didn't know how to use an abacus, and his gestures and methods of playing with the beads were like a layman's.

"Zihou, check it out first. I'll go see how Zhao Langzhong and the others are doing." Zhao Langzhong said with a smile.

"Yeah" Zhu Pingan nodded, still studying the abacus and competing with the beads.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhao smiled and said goodbye.

Mr. Zhao left the room, headed west, turned two corners, and arrived at the stall about 150 meters away from the room where Zhu Ping'an was. There were many people in the stall, including Guanku Zhang, Langzhong Zhao, and five treasurers. There were also several accounting clerks gathered together. The atmosphere was generally relaxed but a bit serious.

"You are all the most senior accountants in Taicang, and these account books are all in your hands. Can you tell me, will anyone find any problems with these account books?" Zhang Guanku asked, looking at the several accountants.

"No problem, absolutely no problem. Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. There is a hierarchy of knowledge and expertise. We have been dealing with accounting books for half our lives. We still have this confidence. As long as it comes from our If you use your hands, nothing will go wrong." A forty-year-old accountant assured me with his chest.

Hearing this, Zhang Guanku nodded and looked at the most senior and senior accountant in the accounting room.

This gray-haired accountant is the most famous accountant in the capital. He is the famous "Ghost Master" in the accounting field, which means that his accounting skills are beyond human standards and he has never failed in his life. He is the leader in accounting circles in the capital.

Seeing Zhang Guanku's gaze, "Ghost Zhang" stroked his gray beard and smiled proudly, "Haha, I don't dare to say goodbye. Just talking about these account books, even the entire capital has no Which accountant can see the problem? ”

With Gui Shou Zhang's guarantee, Zhang Guanku and others were completely relieved, and the atmosphere became even more relaxed.

When Jia Langzhong mentioned that Zhu Ping'an couldn't even do abacus, everyone in the room couldn't help laughing.

"After Zhang Accounting Room and the account books in our hands, even if we invite several other most famous accounting agencies in the capital and give them a month, we can guarantee that there will be no problem, let alone him. You're a layman who can't even do abacus, hehehe." The accountant in the room laughed even more. (End of this chapter)
