Zhao Gao didn't take Li Si seriously at all, and Feng Quji was just a stepping stone for him to consolidate his position.
Now a little honest man dares to speak rudely to himself, how can he tolerate it?
What's more, with His Majesty behind him, Feng Quji and Li Si cooperating with him, no one dared to say a word even if Lian Liangcai was killed!
"It doesn't matter, it's just a Xianyang order, who will take it seriously?"
"I helped clear the obstacles for them, and those people didn't even have time to thank me!"
Since Zhao Gao said so, Yan Tong naturally wouldn't say anything more.
However, he felt that since Zhao Gao came out of Xianyang Prison unharmed, he seemed to be more bold in doing things.
Even he could see that His Majesty no longer trusted Zhao Gao as much as before, but Zhao Gao still dared to act so wantonly, and he could not see through Zhao Gao's thoughts.
"Here."
"Slave, just do it now."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Zhao Gao sat there with an uncontrollable smile on his face, but that smile gave people a feeling of panic.
"They are all a bunch of idiots. I really think His Majesty has alienated me."
"Since His Majesty asked me to investigate corrupt officials, it meant trusting me, but he was just showing off to them, and they really believed it."
"I can come out of Xianyang Prison intact, but they still can't see it?"
"From now on, this court will be my world. I wonder who dares to look down on me!"
…
Meng Yi took the two portrait paintings and asked his men to post them in the streets and alleys of Xianyang City, with the reward amount written on them.
For a time, everyone in Xianyang City was discussing, who are these two people?
Gu Zongmin, on the other hand, took the two portraits to Xianyang Prison. After all, this incident started because of Ran Fang. Maybe there are clues from Ran Fang.
After all, their target was Ran Fang. Maybe they had determined it personally in prison?
When he arrived at Xianyang Prison, he first handed over the Gu family's account book to Ran Fang.
They had agreed before that each month's bill would be copied to Ran Fang, and Ran Fang must know the monthly profit from refined salt.
"Sir, here is the bill, please take a look at it."
Ran Fang opened the account book, which clearly stated the purchase quantity and total price of each customer, as well as the price of raw materials purchased.
It looks like the writing is very neat, but it is a bit troublesome to read it, and you have to calculate it one by one to get the monthly profit.
This month's bills require a basket of bamboo slips to board the plane. As the business grows in the future, monthly accounting will also consume a lot of manpower and time.
He glanced at it casually for a few times, then put the account book on the table and frowned slightly.
Looking at his expression, Gu Zongmin thought there was something wrong with his bill, and immediately asked: "Sir, did you remember correctly?"
"I have personally read this account book. I have definitely not deceived you. Please be careful."
Ran Fang shook his head. He believed that the Gu family, even for their own business, would not fool him in the books.
However, looking at so many numbers, he did have a headache. It was too troublesome to calculate.
"Is this how the Gu family keeps accounts for such a big business?"
"Isn't it time-consuming when you have to settle accounts every month?"
Hearing Ran Fang's question, Gu Zongmin breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that there was no problem with his own account books.
He paused for a moment before answering, "Don't worry, sir. There are more than a dozen math teachers in the Gu family. They calculate every day and will do it again at the end of the month. There will definitely be no problems."
Ran Fang's expression froze. There are more than a dozen arithmetic teachers, so the wages given to them are quite high, right?
Moreover, these accounts have to be calculated once every day and again at the end of the month, which is too troublesome.
"It's a bit too complicated."
Hearing this, Gu Zongmin smiled proudly.
He opened his mouth to explain: "Sir, you don't understand. Nowadays, the refined salt business is very big. There are branches of the Gu family in various places. This is just the account book in Xianyang City."
"If we count all the arithmetic teachers in Kanto, there will probably be hundreds or even thousands of them."
“At the end of the year, that’s when it gets busy.”
"There are too many accounts to be calculated. The arithmetic gentlemen have to calculate day and night for a month or two before they can sort out the accounts for a year."
"That is to say, Gujiajia has a big business. If we change to another store, I'm afraid we won't be able to afford such a huge expense for the arithmetic teacher."
The more he listened, the more painful Ran Fang felt.
There are so many people and so much money. There is nothing wrong with doing anything else. We have to spend money to support so many arithmetic teachers.
If Gu Zongmin hadn't said it so righteously, he would have suspected that he wanted to take the opportunity to defraud money.
Looking at this account book, he had a headache. Such a mathematician could write down such a virtue, and his money was really wasted.
"Can't you change the accounting method?"
"This kind of running account is time-consuming, laborious and expensive, and it still looks messy."
When Ran Fang said this, Gu Zongmin looked instantly embarrassed.
Why is the account book he is so proud of so useless here?
So, he couldn't help but ask: "Sir, is there a better way than this?"
Gu Zongmin's expression was as usual. Although he admired Ran Fang's salt-making talent, he didn't think that a young man who was just starting out could be better than him in business.
Especially when there are so many problems that math teachers can't solve. He has never touched an account book, and he can come up with a solution?
If that were the case, that would be genius!
Fusu, on the other hand, saw Ran Fang's disdainful look and guessed that he might have a way of keeping accounts.
Under the table, he gently pushed Gu Zongmin with his hand to signal him not to conflict with Ran Fang.
Then he asked: "Sir, you are very knowledgeable, but do you have this way of keeping accounts?"
Ran Fang already cared about his money and gave it to so many accountants in vain, so naturally he would not be stingy with his talents.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "There is a better accounting method called double-entry accounting. It is more standardized and seems intuitive and effective. Have you ever heard of it?"
Gu Zongmin and Fusu shook their heads at the same time, looking at Ran Fang with confused and eager eyes.
Especially Gu Zongmin, if he really has a good accounting method, it will definitely be a good thing for the Gu family's voice.
The two of them looked at each other with confused looks, and Ran Fang could only say directly: "Actually, this method is also very simple, it is to classify records and calculate by classification."
"First of all, we need to prepare three account books, one for the general ledger book, the general ledger book and the detailed account book."
"The general ledger is to record things that need to be purchased and sold, the general ledger is to record the summary and classification of ledger information, and finally the detailed ledger is to record the specific situation of each income and expenditure item."
"At the end of the month, make sure that the amounts in the account books match up and there are no duplicate records. That means it's correct."
“In this way, you can not only view the details of income and expenses more intuitively, but also clearly indicate the source and destination of funds.”
"And compared to your kind of running account, the double-entry accounting method can also detect and locate errors more easily, saving you from having to calculate it from scratch every time a problem occurs."
“It eliminates the need to recalculate the accounts at the end of each month, which saves time and effort, and most importantly, we don’t need so many math teachers.”
"And this method is especially suitable for the court, because every transaction needs to be recorded in the ledger, which helps to reduce corrupt officials and corruption. Of course, for a large industry like the Gu family, it is inevitable that no one will want to corrupt."
Fusu heard it half-informed, and he didn't know much about the account books.
But Gu Zongmin heard it clearly. He had been doing business for many years and was the one who knew the accounting books best. When he heard Ran Fang proposed to separate the accounting books, he knew that Ran Fang could definitely give him another surprise.
When Ran Fang finished speaking, he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.
A trace of shame flashed across his face, for his disrespect and disbelief towards Ran Fang just now.
"Sir... I was reckless just now. Please make atonement, sir."
After saying that, he began to imagine that if this double-entry accounting method was used in the Gu family's business, the accounting time would be reduced by two-thirds, and there would be no need to mention the business!
It's definitely better!
When he thought about this, he was a little incoherent.
"I have never heard of or seen this double-entry accounting method. If it is used for accounting, it will be twice the result with half the effort!"
"With your help, sir, the Gu family's business will surely reach a higher level!"
"gentlemen……"
