Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 741 Toad inspector

  When the time was about 11 o'clock, Zhu Pingan stretched his waist. The more than 70 books and books on the table had been sorted out using the double-entry bookkeeping method, and a third of the books in a box had been sorted out.

  The process of sorting is actually simple addition and subtraction, nothing complicated. The ancient ledgers are all written with a brush, and one page is just five or six simple additions and subtractions.

  Zhu Pingan is not good at abacus, but with the blessing of modern exam-oriented education, Zhu Pingan has mastered no less than three or four quick calculation skills of addition and subtraction, as well as calculation formulas. These modern arithmetic methods are dozens of times faster than abacus. It's just that it's a bit troublesome to re-book the accounts with the double-entry bookkeeping form. Otherwise, if it's just calculations, Zhu Ping'an can complete a large box of books and books in one morning.

  After sorting out the account book in his hand, Zhu Ping'an noticed that it was already past eleven o'clock. Guessing that someone from Taicang is about to come, either to spy on him to check the accounts, or to ask himself to have lunch, but the purpose is nothing more than to see the status of his own checks.

  Don’t let them know the real progress of their audit, and don’t put pressure on them. If you can confuse them for a while, you can take the initiative for a while.

  So Zhu Pingan stopped, dried the ink on the double-entry accounting form, carefully folded it, and placed it under the pillow on the bed.

  Carefully put the ledgers on the table back into the box in order, folded a corner of the bottom ledger, and marked it.

   Only one account book was left on the table, and the second page was opened, placed on the table, and pressed down with a ruler.

   So much.

  Zhu Pingan finally twitched the corners of his lips in satisfaction.

  After finishing rearranging, Zhu Pingan felt that the official uniform on his body had been wet by sweat, then dried and then wet again after stopping.

  Since he was wet, Zhu Pingan simply took off his official uniform, put it on a chair casually, put on only his unlined clothes, drank a cup of herbal tea, and lay down on the small bed to fall asleep.

  The small bed was leaning against the wall, so the sunlight couldn't reach it, and the mat on the bed was relatively cool. When lying on the mat, Zhu Pingan suddenly felt much cooler and more comfortable.

There were seventy-six ledgers this morning, and six of them were problematic. Arranged chronologically, problematic ledgers began to appear in the second quarter of the 28th year of Jiajing. These six ledgers totaled 3,210 Eight taels of silver are not accounted for, that is, they have been corrupted.

  I only checked one-third of the ledger of a box, and found out a deficit of 3,218 taels of silver.

   This is just a shortfall reflected in the books.

   Three thousand two hundred and eighteen taels of silver, equivalent to RMB, about two million RMB.

  Although the amount is incomparable with Zhao Dehan, the "100 million director" in the name of the people, but for ordinary people, two million is not a small amount.

  Besides, this is only one-third of the account book of one box, and there are still ten boxes that have not been checked.

Ha ha

  Take your time, don't rush.

  Zhu Pingan lay on the small bed, turned over, and took a good rest.

  Last night, I was busy doing interesting things with Li Shu. I did too much for too long and was so obsessed that I forgot to sleep, which resulted in not sleeping well. I just took advantage of this time to catch up on a good sleep, otherwise my body would not be able to bear it.

  Zhu Ping'an is also very talented in sleeping. He lay on the bed and fell asleep within a few minutes.

   soon

   The snore sounded.

  While Zhu Ping'an was immersed in sleep, snoring and making music for himself, someone outside the room walked towards the room.

This man is Liu Treasurer of Taicang, who has been hanging with Jia Langzhong all morning. Just now, Zhao Langzhong came in from the outside to take his place. Ask Zhu Pingan what he wants for lunch.

  When Liu Siku approached the house, he caught a glimpse of the official uniform under the window in the room, and couldn't help but startled, thinking that Zhu Ping'an was sitting on a chair and carefully checking the books.

  Checking so hard?

   Don't find out anything, Liu Siku couldn't help feeling tense, and took another step forward, just approached, and looked carefully at the window.

  Hoo.

  Liu Siku saw the scene under the window in the room clearly, and he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. Where is Zhu Pingan sitting on a chair to check the books?

   But what about Zhu Pingan? Not in the room?

Liu Siku walked into the room with doubts. The sun was shining outside and the light was very strong, but the light inside the room was not good. Walking into the room from the outside caused short-term blindness. Liu Siku couldn't see clearly inside the room, so he couldn't help calling softly, " Master Zhu".

  The room was very quiet, and no echo was heard.

no one?

   Liu Siku was startled, and the next second he heard a thunderous snoring, "Snoring."

Forehead

   It turned out to be asleep!

   Liu Siku was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help shaking his head, dumbfounded, thinking that there was no one, but he was asleep.

   Now Liu Siku has adapted to the light in the room. Looking along the sound of snoring, he saw Zhu Pingan, who was wearing unlined clothes on the small bed with large characters and snoring like thunder. The corners of his mouth were drooling, and the pillow was wet.

   To Liu Treasurer, it is no exaggeration to say that Zhu Ping'an's snoring was louder than that of the pigs in the Taicang pigsty.

   "Master Zhu?"

   Liu Siku called again softly, and carefully looked at Zhu Pingan on the bed.

   There was no movement at all, only Zhu Ping'an's snoring responded to Liu Siku.

   How about checking the treasury? !

Looking at Zhu Ping'an who was snoring like thunder, Liu Siku's face was full of ridicule. He stared at it for two seconds. Books etc.

   Seeing that there was only one ledger on the table, Treasurer Liu lightly picked up the ledger and looked at it, and the mockery on his face grew stronger.

   This account book obviously only turned over one page, and the abacus on the table is upside down, and the abacus is misplaced at first glance.

After grinding the ink, the brush seemed to have been moved. After Liu Siku saw this, he checked the desk carefully again, opened the blank rice paper on the side, and saw a willow tree above, and a pond under the willow tree. A lotus leaf is drawn, and a big toad is lying on the lotus leaf

  There is also a poem in the blank space: Sitting alone in the pond is like a tiger crouching, and under the shade trees to nourish the spirit.

  End of this sentence, there is no next sentence.

  Sitting alone in the pond is like a tiger crouching, under the shade trees to nourish the spirit.

  After reading this poem, Liu Siku chuckled, and the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth became more intense. Zhu Pingan was probably too hot and wanted the shade of the tree to cool off, so Wangmei Zhike drew such a big toad.

Ha ha

Liu Siku folded the rice paper again according to the original shape, and put it back to the original place, then carefully looked at the box on the ground, and saw that the ledgers in the box were neat and untouched, and the smile on the corner of his mouth widened thicker.

  Liu Siku walked out of the room gently, without waking Zhu Pingan up, but went to Jia Langzhong and Zhao Langzhong.

   Soon, the news that Zhu Ping'an only read one page of the account book in the morning, drew a big toad, and then lay in bed and couldn't sleep. The reputation of Taicang Toad Inspector spread like wildfire.
