Jin Yiwei didn't say much, and directly stretched out his hand to signal everyone to follow. Under his leadership, everyone went directly to a large room on the third floor. One wall of this room is completely covered with transparent glass windows, and the room is extremely bright when the sun shines on it. It was also filled with tables and chairs. The table in the middle was piled high with account books.
At this moment, a door on the other side of the room opened and Liu Haojia stepped in. He walked up to a few people but had no intention of speaking at all. He was obviously waiting for them to come and pay their respects first.
Maybe Liu Haojia's position is indeed not high, but don't forget that he has a title! If they are single and have a title, it is their turn to bow their heads! So several people had no choice but to wink at each other, and together they raised their hands and said, "I have met the Marquis!"
After they saluted first, Liu Haojia bowed his hands slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work coming here! I would like to inform you that all the account books since I arrived in Tianjin are here. You can check and read them by yourself. In addition, this book We have also prepared a few people here to do errands and deliver messages. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask them. If you don’t understand something about the accounts, you can also ask them to directly call the person who does the accounts to come and check. And There is also a working lunch here every day at noon, and they will take you there as well. And..."
Liu Haojia hated these people and didn't want to pay any attention to them, so he went through all the things that should be paid attention to. When Wu Yunshan and the four of them heard Liu Haojia's words, their eyes flashed with anger, feeling that they had been slighted! There's no way you can tell someone what to do when you meet them, so you should always be polite!
But there was a hint of appreciation in Zhang Shi's eyes! In his opinion, Liu Haojia's arrangement was practical and simple. He did not waste time or extravagance as usual, but looked like he was doing practical things!
After Liu Haojia finished explaining the matter, he said: "If you have any questions to ask, I'll explain them one by one while I'm still here!"
Wu Yunshan raised his hands and said, "Master Marquis, I think you have already read the documents sent earlier. There is also a requirement to count the troops and horses, but I don't know when they can be inspected?"
Liu Haojia looked him over, then smiled and said, "You can go anytime!"
Wu Yunshan sneered in his heart when he heard this. He felt that he should be the first to take advantage of Wu Ninghou! In his opinion, no one who leads an army is free of pay! As long as he counts it, he will definitely be able to count it!
Moreover, he felt that since he had been in the Ministry of War for a long time, he knew all the ways the military chiefs fooled the court, and he would definitely be able to expose Wu Ninghou's tricks. Let’s see how he gets on stage then! Now he is already imagining Liu Haojia's embarrassing look! So he struck the final decision while the iron was hot and said, "How about we go now?"
Wu Yunshan didn't wait for Liu Haojia to speak, and immediately raised his hand to He Xianli and said, "Master He, why don't you work hard and check the accounts of Wu'an's military rations, pay, and supplies first, and then go and count the troops and horses, and it will be done in about an afternoon!"
But at this time Zhang Shi said: "Master Wu, it's almost noon now. How about letting everyone get familiar with the accounts first, and how about we go with you after lunch, Master Wu?"
Wu Yunshan hesitated for a moment, originally thinking of leaving immediately. But he thought that if Liu Haojia had done anything, he would have finished it long ago, within an hour or two. But if I set out now, I would have to run around hungry all afternoon, which would be a hard job, so I agreed.
At this time, He Xianli had already ordered his accountants to start sorting the thick account books. The first thing they took out was the account book related to Wu Anjun. These people are all veterans of accounting. Looking at the amounts in the ledger, the twenty accountants quickly allocated the amounts themselves. They each found a table to sit down, put out their pens and ink, and got ready to start.
But as soon as they opened the account book, they heard surprised voices one after another! "This way of accounting is so strange and unheard of!"
"Yeah, I've never seen this kind of accounting method before!"
He Xianli was pleasantly surprised when he heard what they said! He thought Liu Haojia had made mistakes by making false accounts! He immediately took an account book, opened it and looked carefully, only to find that this account book was not blank like the usual account books. Instead, it had printed grids of different sizes, and the words "invoicing, sales, and inventory" were marked on the top. , there are also many writings on the side.
He Xianli is an old man in the household department, and he handles thousands of accounts.
Ten thousand! After a little thought, he saw the benefits of this accounting method. It was far easier to check than running accounts! However, he didn't feel happy to see Lie Xin at all. Instead, he felt sour! This new thing was actually discovered by a warrior first, which really made him feel very unhappy!
However, he rolled his eyes and was about to speak, but he heard his room attendants saying: "This accounting method is very new, and it is also very practical!"
"Yes, it looks clear at a glance, which is better than a running account!"
These accounting gentlemen are also good at the accounts department, and they have been keeping accounts for countless years! They can tell the pros and cons of this new accounting method at a glance! But these people are all good at business, and they say it out loud when they are happy!
But their discussion blocked He Xianli's request for a running account! Because since his people have already praised this accounting method, if he asks for a running account again, it would be a bit picky to say that this accounting method is not in line with the court rules!
So he could only swallow his words, but he still glared at the room attendants who spoke. Yes, but those people were immersed in the new accounting method and didn't even see his eyes, which made his efforts in vain!
However, he was still angry in the end and said in a calm tone: "Master Marquis, is it not good to tamper with the rules of the court?"
Liu Haojia said in the same light tone: "This cannot be said to be tampering with the court rules! The court can't use good things and intentionally use bad things, right? Mr. He, you are also an old man in the Ministry of Revenue. In your conscience, this How does this new accounting method compare to the original running account? Does it look concise and clear, and is it less easy to manipulate?"
He Xianli had no choice but to say: "It does look good, but you have to use it to know whether it is easy to use!"
Liu Haojia said: "Whether it is really easy to use, you will know if anyone is using it! I can tell Mr. He now that the reformers in Tianjin have already switched to this new accounting method! And I have already I have written the memorial and will report it to the imperial court when the few of them have finished checking the accounts and go back to promote this accounting method to the world! Then we can reduce the number of them and leave more money to do practical things!"
