Volume B Chapter 64 Professionals do professional things (Third update, please vote for me!)
"Uh, Brother Keng, how do you say this?" Duan Xigui scratched his head in distress, "The booklet you wrote, plus what you taught me orally, I basically understand what it means.
But to be honest, if you want me to teach others, firstly, I really don’t have much time, and secondly, I am still half-informed, so..."
Feng Ziying ignored the other party's complaints. This was the first time in the world. How could it be so easy? If it was really simple, wouldn't this thing have become popular long ago?
"Cousin, I know this is not simple, but tell the truth, is the method I taught you simpler and easier to implement than your original accounting method, and is it easier to see clearly the incoming and outgoing accounts of the business?
"Feng Ziying waved her hand and interrupted the other party. He didn't need the other party to say what he felt. This kind of thing that has been tested by history only needs me to feel it.
Duan Xigui pondered for a while and nodded slowly. He could not speak against his will, and this was easily verified, but...
"Brother Keng, but the Xue family doesn't recognize this bookkeeping company. They can't understand the number of entries and exits in the book. Your crooked symbols, uh, I heard that in Songjiang Mansion and those in the south,
Someone on the dock where I was dealing with had seen it, but the problem is that none of us had ever seen it. It was only from you that I figured out what the Arabic numerals were. It took me several days to figure out how to compare them with the numbers we used in exchange.
Let’s figure it out,…”
Duan Xigui grimaced.
This man really doesn’t feel pain in his back when he stands and talks. He doesn’t care about these specific details, but if he wants to do it himself, he must first be proficient in it himself, and a group of people must learn it slowly, and then they can learn from each other.
Only by using it regularly can you gradually form a habit. He has been doing business with the accountant since he was twelve years old, and he knows this very well.
The Duan family, both young and old, were confused by the conversation between Duan Xigui and Feng Ziying. They didn't know what they were talking about.
"Ziying, what are you and Sanlang talking about? What are you hiding from us?" Duan's expression was unkind.
"Mom, it's nothing. My cousin and I are just trying to figure out a bookkeeping method that can more accurately show our income and income. The current bookkeeping method is too rough and simple, and many things can't be seen.
"
Feng Ziying didn't explain much. There was no end to the explanation. He only needed to tell his mother that he had nothing to hide from her.
"Cousin, we have to continue doing this. You must have felt the benefits of this accounting method and the calculation method of Arabic numerals. The abacus definitely has its advantages, but it is very troublesome when recording and reviewing.
And the calculation of this kind of numbers will be quite simple and convenient as long as you understand the formula tables and column calculation formulas..."
Duan Xigui can make Feng Ziying nod, and can be selected by the big and small Duans, he is undoubtedly outstanding in all aspects.
Feng Ziying spent half a day teaching him, and at the same time gave him a pamphlet written by herself, just to let him be the crab eater.
Arabic numerals and their addition, subtraction, multiplication and division tables and calculation formulas are actually nothing particularly new. They had already spread from the West to the coastal areas of China in the mid-to-late sixteenth century.
Due to traditional characteristics, Arabic numerals and calculation methods have not been able to take root in China.
It was not until the end of the 19th century that it was re-introduced, and it was not until the middle of the 20th century that it was really implemented.
The double-entry accounting method is similar. In the late fifteenth century, Venice had the latest double-entry accounting method, and it became popular in Europe. It took more than a hundred years. During this period, China did not have any dealings with Western businessmen, but they all
They subconsciously resisted all this, and China's own gantry accounting method would not begin to appear among Shanxi business gangs until thirty or forty years later.
Without double-entry accounting, there would be no real capitalist business model. This may be a bit exaggerated, but there is no doubt that double-entry accounting has greatly promoted the clarification and simplification of business accounting models, making more
People can get involved in business and no longer fear it as a dangerous path.
But in this life, Feng Ziying plans to change this.
Feng Ziying could see the undoubted look in the other party's eyes. Duan Xigui nodded: "According to what you said, Brother Keng, I selected three children aged 11 or 12 from poor family backgrounds among the Feng family in Linqing.
The school teacher first taught them simple literacy, and then I was the only one who came up with the Arabic numerals and calculation formulas. Brother Kang, you gave me a difficult problem. I still light a candle and think about it carefully at night..."
"Cousin, I believe you can see the benefits of this number and calculation method, and you should be clearer about the benefits of the new accounting method. Those children do not necessarily need to learn many words. There are probably hundreds of daily words.
It's almost there, one or two years is more than enough, and then you can teach them this calculation method and accounting method. They will be your helpers in the future. Well, if it's not enough, you can also find a few more from the Duan family.
Come and study together..."
This last suggestion made Duan Xigui's heart move. He subconsciously glanced at his eldest aunt and little aunt who were sitting on the table with not so pretty faces. He was obviously moved when he heard this.
This cousin's ability to figure out people's thoughts is really good. No wonder his two aunts were fooled by him into obeying his words. Now they still have such novel abilities. It can't be compared. I still act as a big brother honestly.
The housekeeper is ready.
"Sanlang, the poor children from the Feng family in Linqing can help. But aren't there a lot of young people from our Duan family who can't afford to eat? You can also take the letter back and send a few honest ones.
You have done your duty, and you have also worked hard, so you can help our Duan family support a few more people."
The eldest aunt spoke, but the cousin's face was expressionless. Of course Duan Xigui could only nod in agreement.
The Duan family's hometown is in Datong, and they are considered the same hometown as Aunt Xie.
This is also one of the reasons why Feng Tang was willing to serve as an official in Datong.
The Duan family is also a powerful family in Datong, with deep roots. Feng Ziying's mother is also the legitimate daughter of the Duan family, so the younger Duan family came to be a concubine.
By the time everyone finished talking, it was already dinner time.
Her parents' family was here, and they were not outsiders, so they naturally had to leave food. Duan Xigui had to accompany her two aunts to eat, but Feng Ziying went back to her own yard to eat.
However, before leaving, Feng Ziying still left a message for her cousin. He would have a good talk with Duan Xigui in the next few days. If he had any questions he didn't understand, he could ask him at any time.
In addition, he wanted to ask about Zuo Liangyu and Wang Pei'an.
According to his arrangement, both of them should have entered Xuetang Academy to study, but he was not sure about the effect.
There was no need to mention these things in front of his mother and aunt. He believed that Duan Xigui was as shrewd as he was and would not talk about these things in front of his mother and aunt.
Now that he has come to this time and space, Feng Ziying still plans to do something that is beneficial to the country and the people. Well, he will do his best to do something within his ability and without affecting his basic survival goals.
For example, introducing and promoting Arabic numerals and calculation methods, such as introducing double-entry bookkeeping to promote the improvement of business accounting models, he feels that it has all the benefits and no harm, and it can be done without spending too much energy.
Let others try it out first.
Judging from the current situation, Duan Xigui is still very receptive and basically accepted some of the things he instilled in him.
Of course, it is impossible to say how proficient you are. This requires a process. However, the other party does not resist it and is just worried that others will not accept it. This shows that he himself still recognizes the convenience and effectiveness of this set of things. This is a good idea.
the beginning of.
First, start with your own business, and then cultivate a group of business talents who are accustomed to this kind of mathematics and accounting methods. Well, let's call them business talents, and then use them to slowly influence the people around them.
In the future, when my influence and control are stronger, I can still play a role in education and learning, so that many industrial and commercial models and scientific and technological sprouts that have fallen behind since the late Ming Dynasty in previous lives can find a new path.
It's a pity that I am a liberal arts student and I really don't know much about science and engineering. And this double-entry accounting method was something I accidentally aroused interest in when I was studying political economics, so I studied it, but I have a rough understanding of it.
The basic principles are enough.
You have to ask whether you can recall the most important scientific principles of the modern era of navigation such as three-masted sailing ships or triangular sails, do you understand front-loaded guns and rear-loaded guns and ballistic principles, or open-hearth converter steelmaking, eh,
Sorry, he really doesn't know how to do it. He doesn't understand it at all. This is not what he is proficient in.
But he firmly believes that those who can really change the world are not only scientists, but also politicians, or politicians who go in the right direction, and he strives to achieve this.
Professional people do professional things.
Professional politicians, professional politicians, can then do the work of discovering scientists, cultivating scientists, and even formulating a set of industrial and commercial models that are suitable for scientists, inventors, and more competitive to promote the progress and development of this society. This is what should be done.
.
If anyone wants to stand in front of this road, obstruct or delay social development for various reasons, as a professional, then he should use professional political means and political skills to deal with it.
Feng Ziying feels that she is getting familiar with and adapting to this society, and at the same time, she is slowly integrating some of the professional skills she had in her previous life into this society. Well, overall, the effect is good.
And he also believes that as his understanding of this society deepens and he adapts to this society, the world is also changing himself, and at the same time he can better change this society.
