[Comprehensive Classics] Guide to Cannon Fodder Counterattack

Shui Mu felt that he was about to lose control of the account book in his hand, it didn't matter, he comforted himself in his heart:

Anyway, this wasn't the first time, and it couldn't be worse than He Shili's account book, so it was a horrible sight.Yuan'er was born by everyone anyway, so it should be pretty good?

With some apprehension, Shui Mu opened the account book.

He is now on duty in the household department, and he is used to account books, and he has even developed quite good mental arithmetic skills.

Looking at the place circled with a red pen on the account book, and a new number was written next to it, he calculated it in his mind and found that it was indeed correct, but this did not explain anything.

He casually flipped through a few pages later, and found that the corrected numbers were all correct, not only that, but Yuan Chun also found out several very obscure mistakes, which even he might not be able to see.

His expression became more and more serious, and the movement of turning became louder and louder.

Li Yan's heart is half cold, isn't it, seeing how the county king looks like, he must have made a lot of mistakes, then when will he have to change it.

Back then, it took less than half a month for the account book to be in the hands of the concubine, he and the county king had been right for a full month, and the side concubine Yuan only took over for one day, so it shouldn't be that serious.

Thinking of this, Li Yan wished he could slap himself hard, let your hands be so fast, and send it to the concubine today, couldn't it be two days later.

Shui Mu roughly finished flipping through a book, then slapped the account book on the table with a livid face, gritted his teeth and cursed: "This group of moths!"

This account book mainly records the purchases of the government. There are a lot of tricks found in it, and the fraudulent accounts are second. The main reason is that the prices in it are too high. An egg that costs a few cents a piece here costs a tael. silver.

Originally, Yuan Chun didn't know about it, but when she settled accounts, she was too busy alone, so she trained Rui Xiang and Liu Zhi briefly to help.

The willow branches were not sold since she was a child, and she gave most of the monthly money she received to her family, so she was quite clear about the prices outside, and immediately noticed something was wrong.

Good guy, she recalculated according to the price in the willow branch's impression. The eggs alone cost at least 1000 taels a month for these dog slaves. .

Although Li Yan didn't know what happened, but according to what the county king said, the side concubine should really find out something extraordinary from the account book.

He is loyal to the county king, and he has never done anything wrong with the account books, but after all, he managed it before, and now he is naturally to blame for the problems found.

He didn't explain, just knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Get up, there are some things here that I can't even see, let alone you. But although you are not to blame for this matter, you can't escape responsibility after all. I will fine you for three months."

Shui Mu knew that Li Yan was not to blame for this matter. Although Li Yan had been with him since he was a child and had read and read, he was not proficient in it after all, and it was normal if he didn't find out.But since it was found out in his hands, the punishment still has to be punished, and it has to be a small punishment and a big punishment.

Li Yan also understood, so he kowtowed cleanly and stepped aside.

The matter was settled, but Shui Mu still had a question.

Just now he was dazed with anger, he didn't realize why Yuan Chun found out the problem that he and Li Yan didn't find out in a day.

He didn't suspect anything, after all, Shui Mu also knew that some people were inherently better than others in certain aspects, such as photographic memory, eloquence and so on, and it wasn't just an exaggeration, it was the same with Dang Yuanchun.

He wondered how Yuanchun could find out the hands and feet inside. After all, the slaves he bought came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they were used to these accounts. up.

"The prince will know after reading this." Yuan Chun didn't answer, but just showed him another booklet.

Shui Mu thought he had found something again, but he opened it, but it wasn't the ones in his mansion, but pages of forms, the contents of which were exactly the contents of the account book just now.

These contents are framed in a frame, horizontal is horizontal, vertical is vertical, it looks more concise and clearer.

Shui Mu could see the important role of these tables at a glance, but, "Are these numbers Western numbers?"

Yuan Chun was not surprised that he would know, after all, Westerners' things are quite popular now, and these figures have been passed on a long time ago, but they have not been taken seriously.

She smiled slightly, pointing her finger at one of the rows of numbers, her white fingertips gently slid across the ink, revealing a tinge of pinkness.

"That's right, the king of the county, look, doesn't it look more direct and doesn't take up space."

Indeed, although you are not used to it at first, you will find that it is much more convenient after you get used to it.

"When my concubine was handling accounts today, I found that these numbers were too complicated and there were too many words. I remembered that a book I read before introduced Western numbers, so I tried it and found that it was really convenient. And looking at it this way, It is clear, and it is easy to see if there is any problem. But only one point, although these numbers are easy to use, they are also easy to manipulate, and it is easy to change."

It doesn't matter, I just need to write the original numbers when I officially compile the booklet. Shui Mu asked again: "Then what's the matter with these forms?"

Yuan Chun pointed to the chessboard on the small table next to him, and said with a smile:

"It's just a coincidence. I thought these account books were not clear enough, and I was dazzled. I thought about playing a game of chess to change my mind. I suddenly thought of putting the chess pieces in the grid one by one. Why don't I also imitate the chessboard drawing? Wouldn’t it be nice to have a form. You saw these, the king of the county, but the concubine tried several times before trying it out.”

What a coincidence!

Shui Mu was a little surprised, he knew that Yuan Chun was smarter than ordinary women, but he didn't know that her mind was so delicate.

He also didn't have the idea that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, he just felt that Yuan Chun who talked so eloquently was very dazzling.

Yuan Chun couldn't bear his fiery eyes, and asked with some embarrassment: "My lord, what did my concubine say wrong?"

"No, what you think is very good. Yuan'er, please explain these to me carefully. I will write a memorial and present it to my father tomorrow morning."

Yuan Chun made such a big circle for this.Shui Mu is now in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Western figures and tables can add to his political achievements, and the corruption of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a surprise.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Zhen family have a lot to do with each other. The Zhen family's headquarter is in Jinling, where there are a lot of things that need to be purchased. Presumably the Zhen family has given a lot of convenience and received a lot of kickbacks.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Concubine Zhen to climb so fast in the palace with only the emperor's nurse, Mrs. Feng Sheng, and suppressed many concubines, even the imperial concubine could not confront her head-on.

If it goes well this time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs can clean it up, and the Sixth Prince's family will also be greatly implicated.

Therefore, Shui Mu and Yuan Chun hardly closed their eyes that night. It was not until it was almost time to go out that Shui Mu went to court with the memorial that had been revised several times.

As for Yuan Chun, she didn't stay up all night at all. After sending Shui Mu away, she didn't even want to eat, so she couldn't hold back and fell asleep.

Rui Xiang and the others knew that Yuan Chun had been busy all night, so they didn't dare to disturb her.

They didn't sleep last night. They were afraid that the master would wake up and need someone to take care of them, so they took turns to catch up on sleep.

After this sleep, Yuan Chun slept soundly for a whole day, and she slept until her bones were crisp.

After finally getting up to eat the first and last meal of the day, Li Yan suddenly ran in. As soon as he saw Yuan Chun, he gave Yuan Chun a big gift with a "plop", and congratulated Yuan Chun with a smile:

"Yuan side concubine, great news, the master has been named a prince by the emperor, and now the master is King Jin."

This is really a happy event. She thought it was a reward, but she didn't expect to be named a prince directly.

You know, the current princes are the King of England and their family's prince, the fifth prince is just a county king, and the sixth prince is not even a county king.

"Okay, this is a happy event for our entire palace. Let me tell you that everyone will receive a monthly reward for three months."

The servants were overjoyed. Originally, the county king was worthy of being happy when he became a prince. They could still receive so much reward money, and thanked Yuan Chun one after another: "Thank you, master."

Li Yan also thanked him joyfully, and after doing this calculation, the money he just paid off yesterday will be returned today.

"Mr. Li, how long will it take for the prince to come back? No, I have to organize a sumptuous banquet for the prince to celebrate."

Li Yan replied with a smile: "My lord is busy with business today, and it will take a while to come back. My lord told me that I don't have to wait for him, and let my side concubine take a rest first."

"Where is it, please trouble Manager Li to go back and talk to the prince, and say that no matter how late I am, I will wait for him. No, don't say it first, so as not to delay the prince's business, you can talk about it when he comes back."

With a bitter face, Li Yan begged Yuan Chun for mercy: "Side concubine, you can just spare the little one, if you really do this, then the slave will not be able to eat and walk around."

The maids around saw Li Yan's singing, reciting and beating, and they all held back their laughter.Yuan Chun also smiled, "Mr. Li, don't worry, I will take care of it. If the prince really wants to punish you, I will definitely stop him."

"With this sentence from you, the slave's heart will be at ease. Don't worry, the slave will definitely handle it properly for you."

Li Yan made an exaggerated bow and stepped back.Immediately, the girls couldn't help laughing, it was rare to be overjoyed today, Yuan Chun didn't stop them, and let them have fun too.

This morning, I saw Shui Mu's memorial to the emperor. First, I was furious because of the corruption of ink by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Later, Shui Mu reported the new accounting method, which was indeed feasible after discussion by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

He ordered people to investigate the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he believed it [-]% in his heart. After all, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. He also knows that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has made some small tricks, but the things found out are really daring.

In addition to making false accounts reported by Shui Mubao and earning the difference, the Ministry of Internal Affairs dared to smuggle things from the palace and sell them.

These dog slaves casually recorded some things as lost or damaged, and even exchanged fakes for real ones, and then hid these things in the car that usually transported vegetables and transported them out without anyone noticing.

People in the Ministry of Internal Affairs protect each other, forming a party for private interests is like a small court, so if this is the case, who is the emperor?Did they take him as their master seriously?

The emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses.Therefore, those who should be ransacked will be sent to prison.It is conceivable how chaotic this day was, the entire household department and the criminal department were crazy busy.

The emperor was also furious, Shui Mu found out about this matter, and presented a new accounting method, so he simply tightened his grip on those people, waved his hand, and sealed Shui Mu as prince, letting him take care of the matter.

Shui Mu finally ended the government affairs, and it was already dark. When he was about to go back, Li Yan suddenly told him that the side concubine had been waiting. Do you want to rest earlier?"

Li Yan accompanied him with a smile: "The servant knows that the prince loves the side concubine, but the concubine also loves you, there is nothing I can do if I don't want to rest, the prince, you also feel sorry for the servant, look, this servant is really neither. man."

Shui Mu flicked his sleeves, strode forward, and said: "You don't even look at your face, you're smiling like a mouse, and you're ashamed to make this king feel sorry for you, why are you standing still, why don't you go back quickly."

Li Yan touched his face, he was obviously quite handsome.Hearing Wang Ye's last words, he quickly followed with a "hey".
