The study room was filled with laughter and disdainful glances.
In response, Zhu Pingan just cupped his hands, showed a simple and honest smile towards the accounting room where the laughter was the most intensive, and said lightly:
"Sorry for making you laugh."
The accountants at the third table thought that Zhu Ping'an had been exposed by them and had given in. So some accountants behaved like elders, saying that a lot can be done to improve if you admit your mistakes, it's not too late to correct your mistakes, and you mustn't do anything about it in the future. Such things like pretending to understand; some accountants shook their heads and smiled bitterly; some accountants continued to criticize, saying things like playing the piano randomly...
In short, the accountants all have a sense of superiority.
Only the scheming girl saw clues in Zhu Pingan's silly smile, and then listened to his aggravated tone when he said he was joking. Her dark eyes turned, and she could hear the strong sarcasm in Zhu Pingan's words just now.
Just laugh, laugh cheaply.
Hiding behind and stabbing...
This approach fits this innocent-looking bad boy so well! People who are not familiar with it will definitely be sold by him and help him count the money!
For some reason, the scheming girl Li Shu believed that this duplicitous bad toad seemed to be serious about what he just said about the accounting books being falsified.
When the maid next to the sinister girl heard Zhu Ping'an's words, the worry on her face became more intense. "Oh no, this bad guy is really messing around. I've made the master angry. What should I do if I don't let you borrow the book?" ah……
Just as the accountants were preaching with a sense of superiority, they heard the person who was targeted speak again.
"I'm sorry for making you laugh." Zhu Ping'an said with a naive smile. Amidst the sermons from all the accountants, he then shook the account book in his hand and said slowly, "However, this is indeed a fake account. At least, that’s what I have in my hand.”
Well
The room was quiet for a few more seconds.
Hey, this guy is still showing off his energy! ! !
then. After being quiet for a few seconds, the accountants began to criticize Zhu Ping'an again. This young man was pretending to be energetic. I wonder if you are showing off in front of Guan Gong. I wonder if we are all masters who have been working in the accounting room for more than ten years and decades. Which one is intolerable?
"Can you understand the ledger?" one of the accountants laughed.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhu Ping'an reply with one word, "Yes".
Then the accountant who asked the question refused to admit it. This young man was really tough-talking. At this point, you are still pretending. You like to pretend, right? Then I will expose you today and let you understand that the account book is not as simple as you think, so as not to smear the scholars of our generation!
So, the accountant picked up a ledger and stood up, ready to expose Zhu Pingan's lies in one fell swoop.
"Since you said you can understand the ledger, please take a look. What do you remember about this page of the ledger?" The accountant opened the ledger in his hand and pointed to one of the pages to give Zhu Ping'an the first clue to crack down on counterfeiting. gun.
Zhu Ping'an took the account book and glanced at it, then said calmly. "This is a daily journal, which is also a running account. To be precise, this is the transaction journal in the daily journal. What is recorded on this page is, well, Zhang San paid 258 taels of silver when he went to buy goods... "
After Zhu Pingan finished reading, the accountant standing opposite was struck by lightning. With a look of disbelief on his face, he immediately took the account book from Zhu Pingan's hand and stared at the page for a long time, unable to recover.
This... this is really understandable, and the accountant was dumbfounded. I couldn't utter a word for a long time.
A glimmer of light flashed in the dark girl's eyes.
"Miss, that bad guy really understands the ledger." Hua'er, Baozi's maid, had a flushed face and tugged at the corner of her lady's clothes with her little hands. Whispering in disbelief.
"Is it true that if you can read, you can understand it?" Baozi's maid Hua'er blinked, somewhat unconvinced.
"Go get a copy and read it." The sinister girl Li Shu pursed her lips at Baozi's maid Hua'er.
So Hua'er, Baozi's maid, walked up to Zhu Pingan and asked for the account book in Zhu Pingan's hand.
This bad guy can understand it, and the lady and I should be able to understand it too.
After Hua'er, Baozi's little maid, took the account book back from Zhu Pingan, she handed it to her young lady like a treasure. Then he raised his head and watched with the lady.
After just one glance, Baozi's maid Hua'er's face darkened.
What kind of glyphs are there in this account book? I can still recognize the Chinese characters, but these 〡〢〣〤〥〦〧〨〩○ that record the numbers are nothing. I can’t understand them at all.
The little maid's bun face almost turned into a bitter gourd face.
After confirming that Zhu Pingan could understand the account books, the accountants at the three desks over there were quiet for a while, and then became noisy. They could understand what the account books were. There were many people who could understand the account books, but those who could be accountants could How many, let alone a well-known accountant like ours in the county? We have been doing calculations carefully for three days and there are no accounting problems. You can't even take a look at it, so you say the account book is fake. , how is it possible! The person who made this batch of accounts must be an experienced hand, and there is no leakage. How could you find out so quickly that it was a fake account?
"Zhu Pingan, come here." After receiving the signal from the young lady, Baozi's maid waved to Zhu Pingan.
"What?" Zhu Pingan curled his lips.
"Come here." Baozi's maid pouted.
After Zhu Ping'an walked over, Baozi's maid held the account book and pointed to the place where these 〡〢〣〤〥〦〧〨〩○ things appeared, and asked, "What are these ghost symbols?"
Ghostly drawing talisman?
Also, for most people, such words should be regarded as ghost drawings. However, this was very familiar to the merchants and accountants in the south, especially in the southern Zhili area during this period. These symbols are Chinese folk "commercial numbers" and can still be found in the special characters of computers. This kind of "business number" was widely used in ancient business, especially in accounting in vertical ledgers. Zhu Ping'an also learned it when he was learning ancient Chinese characters. They look like ghostly symbols, but this kind of business numbers are very visual and easy to learn and master. Even if you are illiterate, you can write them with flying skills. I guess Because of this, it became a business figure among ancient counterparts.
"This is a business number. 1 is written with a vertical line 〡; 2 is written with two vertical lines: 〢; 3. Three vertical lines: 〣; 4 is a cross: 〤; we all use abacus, look at this ancient 〥, the point above Just like dialing down a number on the abacus, it means five, so 〦 is six and 〧 is seven, which is easy to understand. 〩 is the long cursive style and the writing is a little faster..." Zhu Pingan stretched out his fingers and hugged Baozi maid He pointed at these business figures in his account book and explained them in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
Hua'er, Baozi's maid, blushed slightly. She didn't know whether it was because she was embarrassed by such a simple number or something.
When Zhu Ping'an was explaining, the dark-hearted girl couldn't help but tilt her head and listen carefully. After listening, she let out a proud and disdainful "hum".
What, I thought it was so powerful, but it turned out to be so simple... (To be continued.)
