Why are the more trivial accounts of the National Business Council so organized?
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance was slightly startled by these words...
Yes, why?
The accountant in the Guoshang Yuan was just the kind that Xu Qing hired from Yongzhou City, and he grabbed a lot of them.
However, all the officials of the Duzhi Department of the Ministry of Hubu, big and small, were carefully selected, and the principals and Yuanwailang of the Duzhi Yamen were also those who were ranked first in the imperial examination.
He is the most proficient person in Chu State!
How could he still be inferior to the accountant Mr. Junior Brother recruited casually?
…
When he finally retired from the court, the Emperor of Chu strictly ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to sort out the expenditures of the previous year within ten days, and calculate the specific expenditure figures, which would be submitted to the Imperial Study Room Long Mu for review after ten days.
The Minister of Household Affairs had no choice but to bow and say yes.
The situation in the treasury is huge. If the accounts of the treasury are in chaos, then the state of Chu will also be in chaos.
Anything can be messed up, but Chu's treasury and Chu's army cannot be messed up under any circumstances!
As soon as Xu Qing left the hall, he was grabbed by his sleeve by the Minister of the Ministry of Finance: "Junior brother, little junior brother, stay here."
Xu Qing turned around and looked at the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, cupped his hands, looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and said, "Senior brother, are you here to check the accounts?"
The Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue said: "You know me, my junior brother. I am really smart. How do you calculate the accounts of the Guoshang Academy? I want to ask my junior brother for advice. I owe you a favor."
His Majesty was right when he said it in the court just now. Since the offices of the GuoShang Yuan are scattered, the accounts of the GuoShang Yuan should be more difficult to compile than those of the Accounts Department. However, there has never been any problem with the GuoShang Yuan's accounts. This shows that the GuoShang Yuan's accounts are not verified.
The speed is several times that of the Department of Household Affairs.
If we could get the National Business Council's method of calculating accounts, it might really be possible to complete the account verification in ten days.
…
Being called "Junior Brother" by a man in his 40s or 50s like the Minister of the Ministry of Finance was enough to give him goosebumps. Now the Minister of the Ministry of Finance suddenly said something cold and clever, which even made Xu Qing shiver...
Xu Qing coughed and said, "Ahem, senior brother, there's nothing wrong with the way our business school settles accounts, it's just..."
"Just what?"
"Bingxue cleverness is not used to describe men..."
"Ahem, it's not important, it's not important, come on, little junior brother, go this way..."
Xu Qing was very suspicious, how did the Minister of Hubu pass the imperial examination back then? What does Bingxue Smart mean? The Minister of Hubu didn't know, right?
Are you really so sick that you seek medical treatment so quickly that you forget how to flatter someone?
…
However, Xu Qing also understands the anxious mood of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He has ten days to clear the treasury expenditures, but the Department of the Ministry of Revenue still has a bunch of trivial expenses that have not been posted. It is strange that he is not in a hurry.
But there is nothing we can do about it. Who made last year so miserable?
The national treasury is so poor that it does not even have enough military expenses to replace horses...
But the Emperor of Chu doesn't care how many disasters there are, the accounts must be clear.
If the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue cannot make the accounts clear for him, then the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue should wait for his descendants to do the Qingming for him...
Although the Emperor of Chu was more benevolent and would not be so exaggerated, it was possible to be demoted and punished.
In order to maintain his current position, the Minister of Accounts must think about how to improve the efficiency of accounting.
…
Xu Qing was still very happy to help this senior brother who didn't know where he came from. Xu Qing was also helpless. Looking around, most of the people in the court were his senior brothers, one after the other. The civil servants called them "military generals"
It's also called that, but I don't know where it comes from...
After Xu Qing and Shangshu Hube left the court, a young man wearing a satin robe walked towards them.
When the young man saw the Minister of Hubu, he bowed his hands and said: "Father, the carriage boy going to Hubu Yamen has been prepared by the driver."
Shangshu Hube nodded and was about to speak when he saw the handsome young man standing next to his father.
Out of politeness, the young man raised his hand to Xu Qing and said, "I wonder who this brother is..."
Just as Xu Qing was about to return the favor, the young man was slapped on the head by the Minister of the Ministry of Finance: "You are a traitor, no matter how big or small! Brother, this is your Uncle Xu!"
The young man was dumbfounded and looked at Xu Qing with a dull look on his face, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Xu...Master Xu?"
Is the young man in front of me older than myself?
It looks like you haven't been crowned yet, right?
Does this make him his uncle?
And... I have never heard of any other sects that my father has...
The Zheng family is obviously a century-old family, where on earth did his father find a master uncle for him?!
And this uncle is still so young...
The Secretary of the Household Department looked at Xu Qing and said: "Junior brother, don't blame me. Senior brother is a little bit ignorant sometimes..."
Xu Qing looked at the young man, then at the Minister of Household Affairs...Should I speak?
Of course, the Minister of Household Affairs didn't care about so many things, so he pulled Xu Qing to get on the carriage. He was still waiting for Xu Qing to teach the people in the branch office how to check the accounts.
Xu Qing said quickly: "Wait a minute, don't go to the Ministry of Accounts first, let's go to the Guoshangyuan to get some things and some tools for settling accounts."
Utensil? The Minister of Household Affairs was slightly startled. I have never heard of any other utensils in the accounting books other than counting calculations. Could it be that the speed at which the Guoshang Academy calculates the account books is related to the utensil that the junior brother mentioned just now?
?
The object Xu Qing wanted to take was naturally the abacus. Outside of the Guoshangyuan and its stores, the abacus had not appeared anywhere else.
After all, it hasn't been too long since Xu Qing created this thing, so it's normal that it hasn't been popularized yet.
If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. If you want to check the account books of the household department within ten days, it is impossible to just rely on calculations without a good calculation tool.
Fortunately, the State Council of Business Administration produced a large number of spare abacus and kept them in the warehouse for emergencies.
This saves the Ministry of Finance the time to do their own abacus.
Xu Qing then picked a few backup accounting offices from the Finance Department of the backup country business school and followed them.
The GuoShang Yuan has been consciously training a large number of backup accounting offices, because as the GuoShang Yuan's business expands, the more accounting offices it needs.
Some things always need to be prepared in advance.
Xu Qing is still very happy to help the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. After all, there are intrigues in the court. Even if someone calls a junior brother nice now, these are all false. They are all face that others can give or not.
But favors are different. If you owe something, you owe it.
Although this thing doesn’t cost much, it’s often quite expensive!
Several backup accountants are still confused. What on earth did Sir Alex ask us to do? Where on earth are we going?
At this time, the first accountant who was following Xu Qing suddenly turned around and looked at the accountant behind him and said: "Pass this on, don't ask where you are going, don't ask what you are going for, and don't say that you are the worst person I have ever taken care of."
