Rise From the Humble

"Haha, Mr. Zhang, you are also stunned by Mr. Zhu's statistical results. Hahaha, to be honest, we haven't recovered yet, hahaha." Upon seeing this, the officials beside Zhang Guangku didn't know what was going on. He bumped Zhang Guanku's arm with his hand, pointed at the rice paper in front of Zhu Pingan, and laughed.

"Hmm, cough, cough, haha," Zhang Guanku and Jia Langzhong had an ugly smile on their lips.

After Zhao Langzhong came to his senses, he almost couldn't help but say "fuck". Jia Langzhong, who knew him well, stepped on his toes and held it back.

Others don't know the inside story, but they know it best. They regard Taicang as a prison and their own money bag. As much silver has come in as Taicang has come out, they have no idea how much silver they have now and how much gold they have.

Although they didn't know the meaning of the numbers wrapped in Zhu Pingan's arcuate ghost painting, the actual amount of silver and gold written by Zhu Pingan was exactly the same as the actual inventory in the bank.

Damn it, Zhu Ping'an did it in less than a cup of tea? !

When Gui Zhang unfolded the rice paper, his eyes were always looking at Zhu Pingan, just to shout out to attract everyone's attention when Zhu Pingan was copying his numbers on the spot, and to tear Zhu Ping's ugly face apart.

"Oh, it's impossible, it's impossible."

However, when he saw the numbers displayed by Zhu Pingan, his first reaction was, well, it's different from ours. He was about to open his mouth to laugh, but suddenly, like a drake being choked, he choked after only one note. He swallowed his throat, and was completely stunned. He stared at the numbers displayed by Zhu Pingan in disbelief, as if he had been struck by thunder, shaking his head and murmuring in a low voice.

The whole person is like crazy.

The numbers shown by Zhu Ping'an were exactly the same as the numbers he finally calculated using abacus using various techniques and painstaking efforts. However, the only difference was that Gui Shou Zhang did not write down the calculated numbers. They wrote down the numbers on the big account that were obtained in advance based on the Taicang account books.

How is it possible, this is impossible!

Gui Shou Zhang couldn't believe his eyes, couldn't accept this reality, couldn't accept that a person who couldn't even do abacus calculated such accurate data in less than one-tenth of his time.

This feeling was like an adult witnessing a baby knocking a strong man to the ground with one fist. It was so weird that it was hard to believe.

However, this is the fact.

One million, two hundred and thirty-seven thousand two hundred and fifty taels of silver and three hundred and sixteen thousand five hundred taels of gold. Zhu Ping'an didn't even use an abacus. He calculated the figures easily and casually with just a few movements. The power of the tiger, using the abacus and spending ten times as much time to come up with the numbers, is not bad at all.

In the field that he is best at, the person whom he looks down upon the most, with a gesture that is almost humiliating, he stretches out a finger and kills him.

The reason why Gui Shouzhang despised and laughed at Zhu Ping'an before was because of his accounting skills that were almost like ghosts and gods. The most proud of them was his arithmetic skills. It is no exaggeration to say that he surpassed his accounting skills in the Ming Dynasty. No more than five people.

With his accounting skills, although Gui Shou Zhang was not an official, Taicang officials, including Zhang Guanku and others, treated him with great courtesy. Even the reckless Mr. Zhao was also very polite to him.

Over time, Gui Shou Zhang began to think more and more highly of himself. It was precisely because of this that Gui Shou Zhang despised and laughed at Zhu Pingan.

But now, the numbers recorded on Zhu Ping'an's rice paper were like roaring slaps, hitting Gui Shou Zhang's face hard.

Now he finally understood that it was not that Zhu Pingan didn't know how to do abacus, but that he didn't need abacus.

You can calculate quickly and accurately without an abacus, and it is several times faster than using an abacus. If it were you, would you still learn and use an abacus?

Thinking of the time when I laughed at Zhu Pingan just now.

Guishou Zhang was so ashamed that he wished he could become a mouse, burrow into a hole in the ground, and never come out.

Aren't you the top pick? !

If you don't study your Four Books, Five Classics, and Eight-Part Articles carefully, what kind of arithmetic are you studying? !

The other four accountants were not much better. They were all dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

"Haha, look, the data calculated by Mr. Zhu shocked the accounting gentlemen."

The onlookers who didn't know what was going on all laughed.

Although Zhang Guanku, Jia Langzhong, Zhao Langzhong and other Taicang senior officials were also smiling, their faces became paler and paler, and the chills on their backs became more and more intense. Their hearts felt like ice, and they were as cold as cold from the inside out. outside.

Without the need for an abacus, Zhu Ping'an could accurately and quickly calculate the bank's data in less than a cup of tea.

Zhu Ping'an alone is more than ten times faster than Gui Shou Zhang and their five top old accountants combined.

Zhu Pingan's arithmetic skills deeply shocked them.

They had to think about something they had never dared to think about before. Is three days enough for Zhu Ping'an to recheck Taicang's three-year account books? !

Zhu Pingan's performance just now left them no doubt about this possibility.

Zhu Ping'an's calculation skills are so superb, what has Bao Buqi seen in the ledger? !

Deep thought and fear

Drenched in sweat.

"Ahem, what's the matter? Zihou is so wrong. Look at how surprised you all are." Jia Langzhong coughed, reached out and patted Gui Shou Zhang and others on the shoulders, squinting at them and looking at them slightly. He smiled, emphasizing the typo a bit.

Under Jia Langzhong's reminder, Gui Shou Zhang and other accountants recovered from being hit by Zhu Ping'an's magical algorithm.

"Haha, yes, Mr. Zhu made a miscalculation."

"Well, the data calculated by our five abacus are not bad at all, which means that we are correct. Master Zhu's is different. Master Zhu made a mistake in his calculation."

"Well, that's exactly it."

Gui Shouzhang and others expressed their opinions one after another, saying with clear words that Zhu Ping'an had made a mistake.

"Does it mean that there are many people who are right? Sometimes the truth is in the hands of a few people." Zhu Pingan glanced at Guishou Zhang and others, smiled slightly, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Calculate again, we Together, I will go over it with you number by number."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Ping'an raised his hand and said to Zhang Guyi, the blood-dropping sword, "Zhang Baihu, please isolate the four accountants in pairs, and check the calculations in pairs. I am in a group with the accountant named Zhang. Every time a number is calculated, it is summarized and checked."

Although it is time-consuming to add numbers one by one, you can see which number is wrong.

"Don't worry, sir."

Zhang Gu nodded and waved his hand, and several Dongchang fans descended from the mountain like tigers, dividing the accounting room except Gui Shou Zhang into two groups and segregating them into two empty rooms.

"Please." Zhu Pingan stretched out his right hand and smiled at the ghost hand.

It is very easy to add two numbers. Even if the officials present are slower, they can still calculate it. Which group of calculations is wrong can be discovered in time. In addition, Zhang Guyi also picked out four Dongchang Fanzi who can count. , check together.

In full view of everyone, Gui Shou Zhang and others couldn't make a mistake even if they wanted to.

Time passed minute by minute.

When the sun went down, the final calculation results came out: Taicang actually had 1,237,250 taels of silver and 316,500 taels of gold.

It's exactly the same as what Zhu Pingan calculated before.

The numbers calculated by Zhu Pingan are actually correct? !

When the final results came out, all the officials in the room took a deep breath and were stunned on the spot.
