Landlord In Zhou Dynasty

Checking the accounts was a technical matter. Even the former Chen Shouxin was not an accountant, but he was very confident about this audit. This confidence comes from the current era of the use of bookkeeping methods, using the one-way bookkeeping.

Such a method of keeping accounts was very advanced in this era. At the very least, it reflected the amount of money spent and the whom he had given it to. But at the same time, because it was simple, it was also a bit incomplete.

Although he was not an accountant, and even said that he had nothing to do with the business of accountancy, but he knew the general situation of borrowing and bookkeeping that was common in future generations. He believed that the finance officials of this era did not have that many playthings. If he really did fake it, it would be impossible for him to make the accounts flawless.

As long as he sorted out the accounts and found the general direction in which he spent his income and expenses, and left it for the old man to handle, he would be able to save a lot of time.

"Young Master, how do we deal with so many books?" Looking at the books of account placed side by side, Youzi said in distress.

"You have to remember, the young master is very strong. There is nothing he can't do." Chen Shouxin said confidently.

"In a little while, the Young Master said that if you were to write the books, you would be able to sort them all out in one day. It might seem like a lot, but it's actually a lot of useful things. "

Youzi's face turned bitter. Just thinking about it made her head hurt. Although the young master had taught him how to write, he was too lazy to write. If only durian was here, she loved to fiddle with these things.

Even though she felt a little unwilling, Youzi still followed Chen Shouxin's instructions.

As Chen Shouxin expected, although the account book looked rather thick, the words in it were rather large. This was to make it easier to read. He didn't have to do it that big. This was convenient for auditing.

Even so, the master and servant were exhausted. Lunch and dinner were taken care of. Chen Shouxin's mouth and tongue were dry, while Youzi was so tired that her hands and feet went soft.

Lighting a candle, the lighting was a bit dim. Chen Shouxin started to study the accounts carefully.

"Youzi, I'm afraid we have to work overtime. We need to sort out the books from the previous year and compare them with our expenditures. " Chen Shouxin said awkwardly after flipping through it.

"Young Master, can you spare Youzi? Youzi really can't write anymore. " Youzi said with a bitter face.

"Aiya, Youzi is the most obedient. When we return to the Imperial City, I will bring you to buy the best cosmetic powder." We'll buy two at a time, use one, and throw one away. " Chen Shouxin coaxed her.

"Young Master is speaking nonsense again. How could you just throw away Jin Gui's rouge like that?" Youzi wrinkled her nose as she spoke.

Although she was truly very tired, the allure of the rouge and cosmetic powder was also endless. The rouge of the Lunar Temple was very good, and the rouge of the Scented Fragrance Pavilion was also quite good. Aiya, I'm a bit worried about who should buy the house.

Seeing Youzi fall into a deep yearning for rouge, Chen Shouxin quickly ran outside and called for the soldiers who stayed here and brought in the books and boxes from the previous year.

This era's night work was rather taxing. Even though Chen Shouxin had two more candles, the room wasn't that bright. Furthermore, the fact that Youzi had been writing for a whole day, even without using her brain, was a great burden to her. In the latter half of the night, she would even fall asleep from time to time.

Chen Shouxin had no choice but to take Youzi to the bed to rest while he himself wrote the brush.

After writing these two lines, even he himself felt somewhat embarrassed. His handwriting was truly too lacking compared to Youzi's. He was called Jun Soo, and his every stroke was called "Unrestrained" and "Ugly".

"Is Shouxin really arranging the accounts? You didn't mess around? " Chen Changqing asked after he saw that the light in his son's room was still on.

"Master, Young Master really put in a lot of effort this time. When I went to deliver lunch and dinner, I saw that Young Master and Youzi had already sorted out a lot." Uncle Chen said with a face full of gratitude.

"This old servant sneaked a peek, the method Young Master used seems to be different from ours. "But I don't understand, all I know is that Young Master's account book is a bit larger than ours, and there are also some horizontal lines on it."

"Hey, you don't have to speak up for him anymore. Let's just let him mess around. If he wants to play something that isn't proper, then he must get tired of himself. " Chen Changqing said helplessly as he looked at the figure in his son's bedroom that was covered by light.

He was worried too, he never expected Mayu's side to be so well-prepared. With so many accounts books, it would take at least two to three months. And such a long time was enough for Mayu to destroy all the evidence.

Chen Shouxin, who was trying his best to organize the account book, didn't know that his old man treated him, who worked so hard, as if he was playing. Right now, he really didn't have any other thoughts on his mind. As he recorded down the account book, he thought about how much money he had spent just now.

However, he was not a professional accountant, so he could not directly tell from the numbers. He could only continue recording. He knew that as long as Mayu did something to it, he would definitely continue to do it.

He drank the tea he brewed and stretched his neck. Seeing the grapefruit on the bed curled up, he fiddled with the brazier a little more.

Just as he was fiddling with it, his eyes lit up. The image that appeared in his mind a moment ago was caught by him. Ignoring the brazier, he ran back to his desk and started rummaging through the books.

"Heh heh, I was just talking about it. No matter how crafty you are, you won't be able to escape my hunting rifle. "It's really f * cking amazing. This cotton candy is so greedy for silver coins." After checking for a while, Chen Shouxin said to himself with a joyous expression.

As they fought in the night, Mayu, who was in the garrison, also had a bitter look on his face.

"Grand Master, how's the situation with the surveillance over there?" Mayu asked the Grand Master at the side.

"A few days ago, Young Master from his house would still bring his maid out, but today, he hasn't shown his face at all. That Lord Chen has not left his house for the past few days. Since they did not invite anyone to serve him, and since the guards in the courtyard are soldiers who came with them, it's not good for us to go in and investigate. " The Grand Master frowned.

"Father, what is there to be afraid of? If you ask me, just get someone to go over and do it. Furthermore, with the help of the people of the imperial court, it would at most just be for a few days. " Ma Yuanliang twitched his mouth and said.

"Shut up." Anger was written all over Mayu's face, scaring Ma Yuanliang so much that he quickly stopped talking.

"It's just a manor. Is there a need to keep it in your heart?" I told you to hold back a little during this period of time, but you just wouldn't listen, and you even went back and forth to find trouble with that kid. "

"Chen Changqing was a famous protector in the Imperial City. Even if he wanted to go through the motions, he would have unavoidably found some people this time. I had intended you to be his friend, but you had coveted the beauty of his maid. "Someone come, young master will be grounded from today onwards."

"Dad, why are you acting like an outsider?" Ma Yuanliang roared with his eyes wide open.

"Hold it back." Even if Chen Changqing was sent here to punish him, did you see his level drop? "I can't wait for the emperor to activate him again."

"Do you really think you can do everything here? Even if it doesn't affect us father and son in the future, we will still leave this place. At that time, who in the court will care about us? "

After being shouted at by Mayu for a while, Ma Yuanliang lost his temper and walked out honestly.

"Master, don't be angry. Our young master is much stronger than that scourge, Chen Family. " The Grand Master, who was standing at the side, consoled her.

"Sigh, what Yuan Liang said is not without reason. Recently, you've been looking for some people outside. I feel that this Chen Changqing has come with ill intentions. I hope that's not what I was thinking. We need to prepare a few moves as well. " Mayu sighed and said.

"Yes, master. Actually, this little one thinks that there's nothing going on this time. Even if we find out, we will at most be charged with misstep. We are still here, so those in the court must speak to the lord. " Grand Master said with a smile.

"At most, it will just be a low-grade job, and the Dingbei City will still be the Lord's Dingbei City. After three to five years, if we were to randomly chop off a few heads, the lord will definitely restore his original rank. "

"And this is just the worst situation. We've sent them so many books. Even if he were to look into it without rest, how many books can he look into? "

"This matter is all thanks to you, go back to the tent and pay twenty silver coins." Mayu said in gratitude.

"Thank you for your reward, Old Master. This humble one will go out and gather some people as a precaution. " Grand Master said with a smile.

"Go, go." Mayu smiled and waved his hand.

After Grand Master left, Mayu's face turned dark again. What he did not tell Grand Master was that his heart was preparing for the worst, which was to flee to the other side of the barrier.

If the old emperor was present, he would develop in the direction that Grand Master had predicted. However, no one was able to understand the thoughts of the new Emperor. Even now, there was still no news from the court, making him feel slightly panicked.

When he thought of his son, his heart was filled with helplessness. He didn't know if he should send his son out first. However, if it was given out, Chen Changqing would inevitably notice it. It would inevitably alert the enemy.

He originally thought that he would be able to leave as soon as Chen Changqing was defeated. Who would have thought that he would have made up his mind and even bought the house? It was unknown whether he did it intentionally or not.

This time, Chen Changqing came too suddenly. Even though he received the news a few days earlier, he was still not prepared. He could only hope that Chen Changqing was just going through the motions. Hopefully, Chen Changqing would abide by his duty, so that he would not truly decide to kill him.

Thinking of this, a hint of viciousness appeared on Mayu's white and fat face. If Chen Shouxin saw it here, he would be familiar with it. It was no different from the murderous look in Ma Yuanliang's eyes.
