The study room was filled with laughter and disdainful glances.
In response, Zhu Pingan just cupped his hands, showed a simple and honest smile towards the accounting room where the laughter was the most intensive, and said lightly:
"Sorry for making you laugh."
The accountants at the third table thought that Zhu Pingan's disguise had been exposed by them and that they had given in. So some accountants behaved like elders, saying that a lot can be done to improve things if you admit your mistakes.
Such things like pretending to understand; some accountants shook their heads and smiled bitterly; some accountants continued to criticize, saying something like playing the piano randomly...
In short, the accountants all have a sense of superiority.
Only the scheming girl saw clues in Zhu Pingan's silly smile, and then listened to his aggravated tone when he said he was laughing. Her dark eyes turned, and she could hear the strong sarcasm in Zhu Pingan's words just now.
It's a joke, it's a cheap laugh.
Hiding behind and stabbing...
This approach is so in line with this seemingly innocent bad boy! People who are not familiar with it will definitely be sold by him and count the money for him!
For some reason, the scheming girl Li Shu believed that this duplicitous bad toad seemed to be serious about what he just said about the accounting books being falsified.
When the maid next to the sinister girl heard Zhu Ping'an's words, the worry on her face became more intense. "Oh no, this bad guy is really messing around. I've made the master angry. What should I do if I don't let you borrow the book?"
ah……
Just as the accountants were preaching with a sense of superiority, they heard the person who was targeted speak again.
"I'm sorry for making you laugh." Zhu Ping'an said with a naive smile, amidst the sermons of all the accountants. Then he shook the account book in his hand and said slowly, "However, this is indeed a fake account.
At least, this is what I have in my hand."
The room was quiet for a few more seconds.
Hey, this guy is still showing off his energy!!!
So, after a few seconds of silence, the accountants began to criticize Zhu Ping'an again. This young man was pretending to be more energetic. I wonder if you are showing off in front of Guan Gong? We have all been working in the accountant for more than ten years.
Have you been a master for ten years? What is unbearable?
"Can you understand the ledger?" one of the accountants laughed.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhu Ping'an reply with one word, "can".
Then the accountant who asked the question refused to admit it. This young man is really stubborn. At this time, he is still pretending. You like to pretend, so I will expose you today and let you understand that the account book is not as simple as you think. Save
To discredit our generation of scholars!
So, the accountant picked up a ledger and stood up, ready to expose Zhu Ping'an's lies in one fell swoop.
"Since you said you can understand the ledger, then show me, what do you remember about this page of the ledger?" The accountant opened the ledger in his hand, pointed to one of the pages, and gave Zhu Ping'an the first clue to crack down on counterfeiting.
gun.
Zhu Ping'an took the account book and took a look at it, then said calmly. "This is a daily book, which is also a running account. To be precise, this is the transaction book in the daily book. What is recorded on this page is, um. Zhang San
The amount due for the goods is 258 taels of silver..."
After Zhu Pingan finished reading, the accountant standing opposite seemed to be struck by lightning. With a look of disbelief on his face, he immediately took the account book from Zhu Pingan's hand and stared at the page for a long time, unable to recover.
This... this is really understandable. The accountant was stunned and couldn't say a word for a long time.
A glimmer of light flashed in the dark girl's eyes.
"Miss, that bad guy really understands the ledger." Baozi's maid Hua'er's face was flushed, and she tugged at the corner of her lady's clothes with her little hands, murmuring in disbelief.
"Is it true that if you can read, you can understand it?" Baozi's maid Hua'er blinked, somewhat unconvinced.
"Go and get a copy and have a look." The sinister girl Li Shu pursed her lips at Baozi's maid Hua'er.
So Hua'er, Baozi's maid, walked up to Zhu Pingan and asked for the account book in Zhu Pingan's hand.
If this bad guy can understand it, the lady and I should be able to understand it too.
After Hua'er, Baozi's little maid, took the account book back from Zhu Ping'an, she handed it to her young lady like a treasure, and then raised her head to look at it with her.
After just one glance, Baozi's maid Hua'er's face darkened.
What kind of glyphs are there in this account book? I can still recognize the Chinese characters, but these 〡〢〣〤〥〦〧〨〩○ that record the numbers are nothing. I can’t understand them at all.
The little maid's bun face is almost turning into a bitter gourd face.
After confirming that Zhu Pingan could understand the account books, the accountants at the three tables over there were quiet for a while, and then became noisy. They could understand what the account books were. There were many people who could understand the account books, but those who could be accountants could
How many, let alone a well-known accountant like us in the county? We have been doing calculations carefully for three days and there are no problems with the calculations. You can't even take a look at it, so you say the account book is fake.
, how is it possible! The people who made this batch of accounts must be experienced hands, and they are watertight. How could you find out so quickly that they were fake accounts?
"Zhu Pingan, come here." After receiving the signal from the young lady, Baozi's maid waved to Zhu Pingan.
"What?" Zhu Pingan curled his lips.
"Come here." Baozi's maid pouted.
After Zhu Ping'an walked over, Baozi's maid held the account book and pointed to the place where these 〡〢〣〤〥〦〧〨〩○ things appeared, and asked, "What are these ghost symbols?"
Ghost talisman?
Also, for most people, such words should be regarded as ghost-drawing symbols. However, for merchants and accountants in the south, especially in South Zhili, during this period, they were very familiar. These symbols are Chinese folk symbols.
"Commercial numbers" can still be found in the special characters of computers. This kind of "commercial numbers" was widely used in ancient business, especially in vertical accounting. Zhu Ping'an also learned this when he was learning ancient Chinese characters.
Yes, it looks like a ghost drawing, but this kind of business number is very vivid and easy to learn and master. Even an illiterate person can write it with flying skills. It is probably because of this that it became the business number of the ancient counterparts.
Bar.
"This is a business number, 1 is written with a vertical line 〡; 2 is written with two vertical lines: 〢; 3, three vertical lines: 〣; 4 is a cross: 〤; we all use abacus, look at this ancient 〥, the point above
Just like dialing down a number on the abacus, it means five, so 〦 is six and 〧 is seven, which is easy to understand. 〩 is the long cursive style, writing a little faster..." Zhu Pingan stretched out his fingers and hugged Baozi maid
He pointed at these business figures in his account book and explained them in a simple and in-depth way.
Baozi's maid Hua'er blushed slightly, not sure if it was because she was embarrassed by such a simple number or something.
When Zhu Ping'an was explaining, the dark girl couldn't help but put her head together and listened carefully. After listening, she let out a proud and disdainful "hum".
What, I thought it was so awesome, it turns out to be so simple... (To be continued...)
