Zhao Youcai suddenly sweated on his forehead, and he said with a dark face: "What do you mean by this? I am reporting the truth, and how can my Tianzi Camp soldiers be compared to ordinary people?"
"You say they are soldiers of Tianzi Camp, but the account says there are 30,000 civilians. Are the civilians soldiers of Tianzi Camp?"
Jiang Chao continued to ask.
Si Aoxue's face was as dark as water, and she asked in a low voice: "You mean, there are too many things in the warehouse?"
"Haha, I think it's too much. It's so much that I feel it's unrealistic. There's so much extra military rations and horse feed, but when I was working in the kitchen, Brother Luda told me that they are always being scolded recently.
It was a waste of food. He was also very wronged. He only made the food according to the amount given out. He could use all the food he received every day and there was no waste. So where did the waste go? There was also horse feed. Forty thousand kilograms of horse feed.
, this horse is different from other livestock, it eats all day long. It doesn’t stop at all, it’s a waste of fodder. Five thousand horses can only eat one thousand kilograms of horse feed every day, isn’t this a joke?”
Si Aoxue looked at Zhao Youcai with cold eyes: "What's going on?"
Zhao Youcai was so frightened that he froze: "I, I don't know, I keep records according to the facts! Secretary, this kid doesn't understand anything, he just talks nonsense!"
Jiang Chao sneered: "You are just talking nonsense, Master Accountant, if I am not wrong, a lot of this batch of military rations should be consumed in a short time. Otherwise, why would the secretary have to worry about the money and food for the military camp? How could he not have money to order supplies trucks?"
“The baggage in the camp can carry hundreds of loads, and it can transport 5,000 carriages and horses and 30,000 civilians at a time.
Besides, 30,000 people transport? 300,000 shi of grain. Currently, one shi of grain requires one or two taels of silver. Three hundred thousand shi requires 360,000 taels of silver. Fifty thousand wolf-toothed arrows are the lowest in Liujun Winter Market.
It also costs five thousand taels, and eight hundred pieces of armor cost twenty-three taels each. Three hundred spears require three thousand taels of silver, and six hundred iron bows require thirty thousand taels to purchase."
"This has exceeded 400,000 taels of silver. So with the right carriage and horses for transportation, on the 30th, you can handle it with less than 100,000 taels?"
Jiang Chao's questioning confused the accountant.
Si Aoxue said in a deep voice: "Besides, transporting 300,000 shi by 30,000 people is indeed a bit stressful. Such a workload will definitely require extra money. Normally, it is five taels of silver per person per month. If this is the case, at least 3 taels of silver will be added.
There are people who can do it. In other words, each person needs eight taels. Thirty thousand people are equivalent to two hundred and forty thousand taels of silver, plus the requisition and expenses of carriage and horse transportation. The transportation cost must be at least three hundred thousand taels."
"So, if you ask me, Tianziying's cost control is simply genius. Jiang is so impressed that he is so impressed."
Si Aoxue knew that Jiang Chao was speaking sarcastically, and there must be a monster when things go wrong.
If we were really so economical, we wouldn’t say we don’t have enough money and food!
"what happened!"
Zhao Youcai didn't dare to speak. He lowered his head and kept hesitating: "This...I, I don't know either."
Jiang Chao smiled: "How about I assume a possibility?"
Si Aoxue looked at Jiang Chao and said coldly: "Say it!"
Jiang Chao said confidently: "Suppose I really purchased 300,000 shi of grain, but most of the military grain purchased was purchased from the taxes paid by the people and purchased at a fair price."
"And if these low-priced grains are sold in nearby areas, at least half of the profit must be made. If you purchase 360,000 taels, you can easily make an extra 150,000 taels."
"Immediately dismiss 30,000 civilians, and then I will lightly pack up my servants and take the banknotes, and go to a nearby area. I will purchase 260,000 shi of military rations from nearby, hire 30,000 civilians and 5,000 chariots and horses. Calculate the days, seven
You can arrive within a day.”
"Moreover, if I do some tricks with this grain, and the grain bags are mixed with other things, such as sand and gravel, when it comes out of the warehouse, more daily grain will be distributed. The soldiers will definitely wash the rice.
After shaking off the sand and soil, in the end, the remaining amount of polished rice is less than 240,000 taels, so it is naturally consumed quickly. In this way, the accounts can be deceived, but in fact, you can earn no less than 100,000 taels of oil and water.
.”
After Jiang Chao finished speaking, Si Aoxue angrily drew out her sword and placed it on Zhao Youcai: "What else do you have to say?"
Zhao Youcai was so frightened that he trembled all over and knelt on the ground with a thud.
"The villain knows his crime, but the master is just a villain. I beg you to have mercy and spare me this time!"
Si Aoxue's face turned frosty, and she shouted without hesitation: "Here comes someone!"
"exist!"
"Take down the accountant and deal with it under military law!"
"yes!"
This kind of thing does not need to be reported. Secretly deducting military pay and embezzling money are both capital crimes and do not need to be reported!
Zhao Youcai knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Lord Registrar, please spare my life. I will never dare to do this again!"
"Lord Registrar! Spare my life!!"
Si Aoxue's face was as dark as water. She didn't expect that she had been deceived by such a trick for so long!
It's no wonder why the food is consumed so quickly that she has to check the warehouse frequently.
Turns out that’s the reason!
Si Aoxue turned to look at Jiang Chao, her eyes full of confusion.
At such a young age, he could see through the tricks in the accounts at a glance.
Isn't he a martial artist? How can he be so proficient in accounting matters?
Jiang Chao was a little embarrassed to be stared at by Si Aoxue like this, so he asked in a low voice: "Lord Registrar, what's on my face?"
Si Aoxue was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red. She waved her hands quickly: "It's okay, I was just thinking about something and was in a daze."
Jiang Chao didn't say much. He looked at Si Aoxue and said, "Why don't we check the warehouse now and see the general situation."
"Check? How to check?"
Jiang Chao smiled slightly: "Oh, we can do random checks and make a probability model to calculate the approximate real stock and our losses. Then we can calculate the lost money and find a way to make it back."
Si Aoxue was stunned, and she asked curiously: "You mean...earn it back?"
"How to make money?"
This was the first time she had heard of using money from the military camp to do business.
Isn't Jiang Chao afraid of losing his head?
But Jiang Chao was very calm. He said with a smile: "You can ask Commander Fang for instructions on this matter first. If we don't solve the problem of money and food, then Tianzi Battalion will become a short-legged army and cannot go far."
If the problem of money and food is solved quickly enough, the problem can be completely solved in about ten days!
Si Aoxue didn't believe it. She thought Jiang Chao was just talking nonsense. She just found out there was something wrong with the account book and the result was lost?
Who does he think he is?
This made Si Aoxue look down on him, Jiang Chao, even more.
Such a man is too frivolous.
So for the future consideration of Tianzi Camp, Si Aoxue said coldly: "Jiang Chao, I must warn you, don't do everything in the military camp. There are many things that are not for bragging. This will kill yourself.
!”
Jiang Chao could tell that Si Aoxue didn't believe it, and he shook his head helplessly: "Okay, then why not ask Fang Shuai first to see what his opinion is."
