After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Xiao Qingshan asked the cook how to prepare food, at least half a month's rations for 50-60 people. The cook didn't know much about proportions, but she was experienced. She estimated the quantity in her mind and reported it to the county magistrate.

After the cook retreated, Xiao Qingshan and Xie Boyuan looked at the amount of food and money. It's a bit of a headache. Neither of them seem to be suitable for this. Do we need to hire another accountant?

Ming Jia looked at her father and Uncle Yuan, walked directly to the desk, and settled the accounts with a pen:

The county government's reform budget totals 13 taels of silver, which is Wenqian.

Grain prices in Qu County and the required grain reserves reported by the cook:

200 kilograms of black flour, a total of 2000 wen; 100 kilograms of wheat bran, a total of 300 wen; 100 kilograms of wild vegetables, a total of 200 wen;

Adding water can make 550 kilograms of pancakes, about 2 taels per pancake, which is 2750 pancakes.

(I know that in ancient times, a pound was 16 taels, but I couldn’t figure it out, so I defaulted to a pound being 10 taels. My world listens to me (￢︿??￢☆))

It is estimated that 60 people will work every day, earning 300 wages per day. The salary for 15 days is 4500 Wen.

Each worker gets 3 pancakes a day, which equals 15 pancakes in 2700 days.

一共花费4500+2000+300+200=7000文

The remaining 5 taels of silver must include the cost of the cook and kitchen, and possible material costs.

Mingjia showed Xiao Qingshan the account he had calculated. Xiao Qingshan was stunned, and Xie Boyuan was also confused.

Xiao Qingshan was surprised by his daughter's calculation ability, and once again sighed that his daughter must have followed her grandfather.

Xie Boyuan was shocked that money could be so valuable. It only takes 7 taels of silver to make 60 people work for 15 days and still have enough to eat. The amount of money he rewarded his servants before was quite a lot!

Mingjia looked at the two stunned adults and finally said: "Actually, collecting wild vegetables from the villagers can cost 2 cents per catty. You can add cold vegetables to the workers and give other people in the village a little income."

Finally, Mingjia couldn't bear it anymore and reminded her father: "Dad, you really want to find a merchant to exchange some copper coins and keep them for the workers. And you have to buy food quickly, because the villagers will be here early tomorrow morning."

Xiao Qingshan reacted immediately after hearing this. He touched his daughter's head before he had time to praise his daughter, and left in a hurry to find the innkeeper. Xie Boyuan took the accounting paper and looked at it carefully.

The little girl just started learning to write, and he even taught her how to control the pen. He knew that the little girl was smart. Looking at the childish yet familiar font, countless thoughts flashed through Xie Boyuan's heart, and in the end he only sighed!

The Xie family started out as a scholar. Over the past century, they have produced two imperial masters, five champions, and many commendable scholars. In Xie Boyuan's father's generation, his father was the eldest son's legitimate son but his education was average, while his second uncle was better educated.

There is an unwritten rule in the Xie family that if you are not a talented scholar, you will not get married. Later, with the accumulation of each generation, it came to be that if the eldest son wanted to succeed the head of the family, he had to pass the imperial examination before getting married.

Xie's father didn't get married until he was 27 years old. At that time, Uncle Xie's sons were all enlightened. After Xie Boyuan was born, his father always taught him to study hard and be more knowledgeable than his second uncle's cousin Xie Boyu.

Xie Boyuan doesn't want to compare with his cousin. On the contrary, he likes his cousin very much. His cousin would tell him a lot about things other than imperial examination books. He was a rare friend and joy when he was young.

When they grew up, he and his cousin both became famous in Beijing for their talents. Some people even made up a saying: The Xie family has eight talents in one discipline and two literary genres.

Later, the family was in turmoil, his body was ruined, and he was destined to fail the imperial examination. My cousin was kicked out of the family for doing something wrong. In the end, he saw his father actually leading the family to a dead end, and tried to persuade him many times to no avail.

Xie Boyuan directly joined the rebels and even served as a military advisor to the rebellious officials and traitors. Then, he was also removed from the Xie family. The Xie family's Liang Wenqu, which was once proud of all the Xie family, has left the Xie family.

In the late period of the previous dynasty, the prince took the wrong side to seize the Xie family. Later, the princes fought in chaos and chose the wrong master. Today, relying on the glory of his ancestors, he lives in a noble family in the capital.

Xie Boyuan does not boast at all. His father's greatest contribution to the Xie family in his life was giving birth to him. Li Li became the head of the family, and every step he took in leading the Xie family was wrong.

Now that the new dynasty has been established, many books and techniques have been destroyed and lost during the war. The emperor recruited his father into the palace, met with him in person, and hinted that his father would open up the Xie family's collection of books, and that the Xie family's previous involvement in being on the wrong side and helping themselves to rebel against the king could be wiped out, and they could also be protected by the new emperor.

The father pretended to be stupid and actually thought that the emperor was asking the Xie family for help. He also wanted to call him back to the Xie family and use his achievements to ensure that the Xie family would continue to be glorious. After being the head of the family for many years, my father is still so naive.

After discovering that it was impossible to recall him, his father even arranged for a child to be adopted by him. Or let him accept a few juniors from the Xie family as apprentices. Masters and apprentices are like father and son!

In fact, Xie Boyuan had privately tested the juniors of the Xie family, but none of them he could like. Either he is a playboy or he studies hard, and even worse, he is very scheming at a young age. Even if you don’t have the talent for reading, you can’t even calm down and read.

Before Xie Boyuan left Beijing, he went to see the emperor. The emperor promised that as long as the Xie family does not go too far, the lives of the Xie family will not be harmed. Li Hansheng resigned from office for three years in order for the emperor to regain military power more quickly. He also stayed away from the capital for the imperial examination and the emperor's plan.

At first, Xie Boyuan was just curious about the differences between Li Hansheng and Xiao Qingshan's family. Later, he decided to leave the capital and thought it would be a good idea to join Xiao Qingshan's family.

Now Xie Boyuan is very happy. He has found two good students who are studying, one is talented and the other can calm down.

Xiao Qingshan didn't come back until after dark. There was a lot of movement in the yard. Xie Boyuan kept standing in front of the window thinking about things. The first time he saw Xiao Qingshan, he was dirty.

Xie Boyuan came out quickly and asked how he did it. It turned out that it was already afternoon when Xiao Qingshan went to buy wild vegetables. The villagers selling wild vegetables planned to close their stalls and rush home, otherwise they would not be able to reach the village after dark.

Xiao Qingshan couldn't bear the villagers' slander and rushed on his way, so he bought all the wild vegetables. He didn't bring a bamboo basket, and he didn't have anyone with him. The dignified county magistrate came back carrying wild vegetables in his clothes.

Mrs. Dong came out when she heard the commotion and saw Xiao Qingshan's appearance. She hurriedly filled Luo with hot water and asked him to wash up and change clothes. Xiao Qingshan waved his hands hurriedly: "No rush, the grain I ordered will be delivered later. If the grain store doesn't have a clerk, the shopkeeper will do it himself. I will help him unload several hundred kilograms of grain in a while."

Xie Boyuan thought: "When loading the grain into the truck, did you also help load it?" Xiao Qingshan nodded, "Otherwise, how long would he have to load it alone?"

Xie Boyuan suddenly looked forward to the development of Qu County. He left Beijing without anyone, and he never wrote a letter back to Beijing. Now he really wanted to write a letter to the emperor about what he had seen along the way.

Xie Boyuan has read the travel notes written by Ming Jun's brother and sister. From a child's perspective, they are innocent and interesting. He also wants to write a travelogue.
