One of the passers-by

Unaware of the consequences of his unintentional actions, the ignorant Xue Yan was sitting cross-legged in the tent, explaining to Xu Youbi what is called "double-entry bookkeeping"——

In fact, it is just the most basic financial knowledge for future generations. Even if you are not a professional financial person, you will be able to understand common sense after working for a period of time.

However, this so-called common sense accumulated through the wisdom of many generations, put it in Da Chu thousands of years ago, is enough to shock a young talent like Xu You who claims to have good knowledge.

After listening silently for a while before digesting Xue Yan's words, Xu You sighed, "When I was young, I always heard people say that reading thousands of books is like traveling thousands of miles. Listening to Jun's words today is really better than reading ten years of books. It's ridiculous for Xu to boast I am well-informed, but I did not expect that Arabia, thousands of miles away from Dachu, would have such talents and come up with such a clever plan. In this way, the court will no longer be afraid of old debts, and the officials will hide it."

Xue Yan chuckled lightly when he heard this, shook his head, disapproving of Xu You's sigh.

As the saying goes, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom.Policies are dead, but people are alive.Not to mention that Da Chu had just established the country for a few years and the court system was not yet sound. Even in later generations with relatively complete laws and regulations, there were still many people who evaded taxes, corrupted the law, and deceived their superiors and subordinates.

It can be seen that human intelligence is infinite.

The emergence of "double-entry bookkeeping" can at most catch some people by surprise.When those officials and slaves are familiar with this set of rules, the corresponding cheating methods will follow.

And when Xue Yan was elated about popularizing science knowledge, Xu You also asked coldly: "Didn't you say that you lost your previous memory? How could you remember such an exquisite accounting method?"

Xue Yan was taken aback when he heard the words, thought for a while, and said, "I don't know, anyway, when I think about these things, they come to my mind."

Xu You was skeptical about this, so he glanced at Xue Yan.Immediately, he pointed to the account books on the table with a serious expression, and said solemnly: "Yan'er, come and see, are there conclusive evidences for the shortfalls in these accounts?"

Xue Yan glanced at Xu You's fingers. It was a few accounts that recorded the loss of grain, grass and military equipment between January and March last year.The amount of a single sum is not large, but if several items are added together, the amount is not small.

Xue Yan subconsciously licked his lips, pondered for a moment, scratched his head and said: "I don't know whether the evidence is conclusive or not. Because these accounts are copied according to the original accounts. Just look at the records on the books. There are indeed some omissions. But the few ledgers you gave me are already moldy and moth-eaten, and the records are almost like a running account. Maybe someone forgot to record when they went in and out of the warehouse. "

As a crew prop master who relies on his skills to earn a living, Xue Yan's emotional intelligence is not high.However, when he was mixed with the crew in his previous life, Xue Yan also saw the finance and logistics teaming up to cheat money.There are even people who find him on the head, trying to lure him into the crew, apply for funding from the crew in the name of a prop master, and then pretend to be fakes and make up for it.It's just that Xue Yan's family style is strict, and he just graduated at the time and couldn't understand this kind of thing, so he didn't agree.

It can be seen that there is no way to prevent this kind of thing from ancient times to the present, but everyone's methods were not so simple and rude at that time.

Xu Youduan knelt and sat opposite Xue Yan, bent his index finger and subconsciously tapped on the table, pondered for a long time, because he said: "Don't talk nonsense about what happened today. If someone you don't know comes to trick you, just pretend Tsukuru doesn't understand. Don't run around in these two days."

Hearing this, Xue Yan waved his hands with a smile and agreed.

But Xu You pondered for a long time, and then said: "Since you really want to share my worries, and you are familiar with sorting out accounts, you can do it at your fingertips. Then in the next few days, Yan'er will stay in my tent and help me with the accounting of last April. The current accounts have been sorted out. After the matter is completed, I will treat you to roast yellow lamb, okay?"

Xue Yan was stunned when he heard the words, and immediately reacted, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and cupped his hands politely and said: "I don't dare to ask my ears."

Xu You smiled when he heard the words, and simply told Xue Yan: "From today on, you will live with me in my tent. Don't go out and run around if you have nothing to do."

Xue Yan blinked, and immediately showed Xu You's dazzling white teeth.Responding crisply and neatly: "Okay!"

For half an hour, all the soldiers of the Youzhou camp saw Xue Yan move the bedding and luggage from the original tent to Xu You's tent.

Xu You didn't make a mistake, and he turned out all the accounts from April of the ninth year to August of the first year of Yong'an and re-investigated them thoroughly.Looking at the mountain of account books in front of him, and the several familiar clerks in the tent, Xue Yan scratched his head innocently, and began to oversee Huang Shiren, who was like a master!

In the next two months, Xu You, who was implicated by Xue Yan, and several papers and accounts were dizzy, in pain, and wished to die.Even if Xue Yan couldn't write well, the supervisor was not responsible for the specific copying and checking of the accounts, but he was suppressed and stared at the stars every day. He stood at the door of the tent and looked out every day, just like a watchman.

In his spare time, he sorted out the account books that everyone had sorted out, transcribed and bound them into thread-bound books, and recorded them in the "Index" according to the time, and then placed them on the bookshelves one by one according to the "Index" marks.

At the same time, Wei Ziqi, Jiang Han and others also kept taking out the sorted out accounts for checking, and every time they came back, their faces became more and more serious.

As the logistics accounts of the Youzhou camp became more and more clear, Xue Yan also keenly noticed that the atmosphere in the camp was becoming more and more tense.The number of soldiers patrolling outside the account every day has increased significantly, and the number of shifts has also increased.

In the end, even the head of the Hebei Road Marching Army in Youzhou Daying couldn't help but come forward and took Xu You and a group of documents for accounting into his commander's tent.Of course, Xue Yan's little tail is also included in it.

During this period, some Youzhou generals and civil servants whom Xue Yan did not know took advantage of Xue Yan's going out to eat or go to the bathroom to make friends, but they were all stopped by the soldiers Xu You sent to him and were not allowed to approach.Xue Yan looked at these anxious generals, and knew in his heart that this group of people must be the ones who made mistakes in the accounts.But Xue Yan kept in mind that what Xu You told him at the beginning, he took it as if he didn't understand it.Even after that, I stayed at home...

Three months later, Xue Yan, who was as disheveled as Xu You and others, looked at the clear accounts that had been sorted out with satisfaction, and his heart suddenly felt proud.

It's a pity that Xue Yan didn't appreciate it for long, and these accounts were taken away by the Hebei Road Marching Chief who got the news.

It is said that they will be rushed to the Taiji Palace in the capital. Along with the accounts, there is also an impeachment document written by the head of the Hebei Road Marching Army.It is said that Gao Zu led the troops to surrender after the Jinyang Uprising. He used to guard Youzhou and made him a king with his military exploits. Now he is a fief in Jingzhou. He was trusted by the Supreme Emperor and even bestowed the surname of Zhuang Yi, the king of Yan County.

Before Xue Yan asked who this King Yan was, he was shocked by another piece of news——

Zhuang Yi, king of Yan County, was dissatisfied with the new emperor's accusation of Xiande's old ministers after he ascended the throne, and wanted to reduce the title of king, so he rebelled and defected to the Turks.

However, in Yan Jun Wang’s proclamation to the world, the penniless Xue Yan indirectly forced all the veterans to rebel because he proposed the "double-entry bookkeeping method". Wang scolded bloody head.

Xue Yan, who has only traveled through for a few months and has never even seen the face of King Yan, suddenly became famous all over the world——

Of course, this reputation is not very good.
