Just listen to him say in a deep voice: "Jia Sheng, Jia Sheng is sorry, madam."
"Oh? Why are you sorry for me? Let me tell you."
"Yes, there are many errors in those small account books..."
"Fallacy? What fallacy?"
"Little one, there are many inaccuracies in the accounts of the little one." Jia Sheng's voice trembled, but he still said every word.
"Pop" a ledger flew over and landed in front of Jia Sheng.
"In that case, take the account book in front of you and tell me why it is incomplete and untrue."
"Yes." Jia Sheng picked up the account book, flipped through it, thought about it silently for a while, and then pointed out one by one:
"The price here is twice as expensive..."
"And here, two purchases were recorded, but actually only one purchase was made..."
Jia Sheng's bamboo tube kept talking about one problematic account after another. As the number of questions increased, he calmed down.
Now that you have decided to kneel, you must kneel down thoroughly. It's a fool to be secretive.
Attitudes are more important than problems.
He talked for a long time, his mouth was dry, and his wife did not interrupt him.
Finally, the lady asked him: "Tell me honestly, how much money did you get from this account book?"
Jia Sheng silently estimated: "About...about a thousand silver coins."
This number is 50% more than what Yang Zhen calculated! After all, many false reports, concealed reports, etc. cannot be detected by just looking at the account books.
An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Madam's mouth: "You are very courageous!"
"Please punish me, madam." Jia Sheng did not defend himself, but just knocked his head loudly.
After coming over for a while, another voice came from above: "How many children do you have?"
"Two sons and one daughter."
"Your boss is called Zhao Li, right? What kind of spiritual root does he have, and what is his current cultivation level?"
"Quanzi has four spiritual roots. He is thirty-three this year and is at the sixth level of Qi training." Jia Sheng's old face glowed when he mentioned his son. This son who has entered the path of immortality is his greatest pride.
This Jia Sheng was originally a son of the Zhao family, and later he married into a concubine of the Zhao family. He never expected that his eldest son would actually have spiritual roots. Now the father is more valuable than the son. Jia Sheng was originally just an ordinary accountant, and then became a steward. Later, he rose to the top and became the chief accountant of the Zhao family county.
Naturally, Jia Sheng's eldest son also had the surname Zhao, and he successfully entered the clan and became an immortal cultivator of the Zhao family.
"The Four Spiritual Roots are already at the sixth level of qi training, which is higher than my cultivation level." Madam sighed with emotion.
This was not easy to say, so Jia Sheng simply kept silent.
"You must have spent a lot on him over the years!"
Normal four spirit roots, at the age of early thirties, should be at the fourth to fifth level of Qi training. Jia Sheng, the son, is considered to be ahead of monks with the same qualifications.
Being able to do this will undoubtedly require a lot of resources. As for where he got the spiritual stones to buy resources, it's self-evident.
Jia Sheng still didn't answer, he just kowtowed like garlic.
"Hey," the lady sighed, "is it worth it?"
"It's worth it." This question seemed to poke Jia Sheng's tears, and he burst into tears suddenly: "It's worth it, it's worth it. If my kid can take one more step on the road to immortality, even if he just becomes a Foundation-building monks can also live two hundred years longer than ordinary people. Two hundred years later, I have turned into clay, but there is still an immortal son who can talk about me, so I am worth it!"
At the end of the sentence, he actually laughed again, with a bitter smile, as if he was crazy.
After a while, he stopped crying and knelt down again: "Jia Sheng deserves to die, just please, please don't affect my Li'er's cultivation."
"How could he be implicated?" Madam sneered: "Every monk is a valuable asset to the family!"
"As for you..."
She seemed to be considering it.
Jia Sheng was nervous, knowing that the moment had come to decide his life or death, and he did not dare to breathe.
"That's all, I have pity on the hearts of parents in the world. Although you are hateful, you can still be forgiven." Madam said slowly:
"It's okay to let you go. You have to do three things from me..."
Jia Sheng was overjoyed. He had made the right bet, and his wife really had no intention of pursuing him.
"Ma'am, please tell me!" he shouted.
At this time, let alone three items, he would be willing to accept thirty items.
"First, you need to make up for the deficit in the account book beside you, not even a single copper coin should be missing."
"yes!"
One thousand silver coins is not too much. Depending on Madam's wishes, I don't plan to pursue the rest. This made Jia Sheng overjoyed.
"Second, from now on, the government's account books must adopt the double-entry accounting method."
“Double-entry accounting, what is it?”
"I will give you the information when the time comes. In short, from now on, each account must have two ledgers and be calculated separately."
Jia Sheng was in charge of old accounts, so he understood it as soon as he heard it. I'm afraid it will be difficult to tamper with the accounts in the future.
He didn't dare to refuse and agreed honestly.
"The third thing, I want you to master this accounting method, not only in the house, but also in other places. I can't control the old house, but here in the county, all the shops of our Zhao family, all the shops in the city All stores must use this double-entry accounting. When the time comes, you will be responsible for promoting it!"
As soon as these words came out, Jia Sheng was shocked and suddenly looked embarrassed.
This is cutting off people's wealth, just like killing their parents. If I have done this, I am afraid that all the shopkeepers and accountants in these shops will hate me to the core!
"Why, you can't do it?" Seeing his hesitation, the lady asked coldly.
Jia Sheng was startled and realized that he was not thinking about offending others at this time. He was serious about not offending the person in front of him! From now on, I can only follow Madam wholeheartedly.
He no longer hesitated and agreed.
Seeing that he agreed to all three things, Madam's face brightened slightly. After chatting a few more words, Caiyan asked Caiyan to see the guests off.
"I don't dare bother Miss Caiyan, I'll go by myself, I'll go by myself." Jia Sheng quickly bowed and retreated out of the door.
Caiyan ignored him and just led the way. Jia Sheng didn't dare to say anything anymore and followed behind without saying a word.
Madam's courtyard has five entrances, and the third entrance is where she receives guests and does business. Caiyan sent Jia Sheng to the second entrance. According to common sense, it would be enough to see guests off here. But Caiyan still kept her head down and walked forward. Jia Sheng was suspicious and kept walking step by step.
When they reached a verandah and saw no one around, Cai Yan stopped. Jia Sheng knew that she must have something to say, and he felt worried and stopped.
"Mr. Jia, Caiyan has two sentences here that she would like to give to you. Please give me the details."
"Miss Caiyan, please speak."
"Madam's original intention is that the person who bears the responsibility should make up for the loss in the mansion," Caiyan said, "but sir, he has a good son. The monk is the backbone of the family, and naturally madam doesn't want to do it because of this." Money hurts the hearts of the family monks..."
"But since the clan has given the county to Madam to take care of, the previous accounts were in such a mess. Madam said that if we don't deal with this matter, I'm afraid some people will not know what to do..."
"Which shopkeeper or accountant in these shops is always very courageous and stretches his hands too far? You are an old man here in the county and you are more familiar with these things than us. I hope you will not hide your secrets..."
"Okay, that's all I've said. Sir, please come back."
Caiyan wished her good luck, and Pingpin Tingting left.
Jia Shengchu was there, not moving for a long time, his face pale.
This is for me to hand over my name!
