Chapter 44 New Account Books
"Heavy rain? Luohe River overflows?"
After listening to Yang Zhuan's words, Li Yuanjia was speechless.
Hedong and Henan are really unlucky. How many years have they passed? There was drought and plague. This year there was another heavy rain, which means continuous heavy rain. Even the Luo River burst its banks.
!
The poor people of Henan seem to have been suffering since ancient times...
While sighing secretly in his heart, Li Yuanjia also showed a hint of anxiety on his face at the right time, and said: "So, His Majesty's return to Beijing will also be postponed?"
"Yes, my lord!"
Yang Zuan nodded and said respectfully: "According to the news from Luoyang, His Majesty's return to Chang'an may be postponed for half a year, at the beginning of next year."
When he said these words, Yang Zuan couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy on his face.
After noticing this, Li Yuanjia was not surprised at all.
In fact, for many people, this is a good thing. After all, Chang'an's population is increasing day by day, and it is home to the most powerful and wealthy people in the Tang Dynasty. The amount of food consumed every day is an astronomical figure, so the person in charge of transporting it from the south
The grain and grass officials were exhausted. If the emperor stayed in Luoyang for one more day, Chang'an would be able to save a large amount of grain. If he stayed in Luoyang for another half a year, the grain reserves would be enough to allow the Tang Dynasty center to stay safely in Chang'an.
Stay for three years!
If nothing else happens, the next time the emperor goes to Luoyang will be the fifteenth year of Zhenguan.
Therefore, for Yongzhou Governor Shi Yang Zuan, it is good for the emperor to stay in Luoyang for one more day, which can save him, Yongzhou Governor Shi, a lot of headaches. As for the nominal Yongzhou Governor Li Yuanjia, he only needs to explain to the other party
Will suffice……
After Yang Zuan said goodbye, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but shake his head.
No wonder after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an could never regain its former glory and gradually declined. Even the short-lived Queen's Dynasty moved directly to Luoyang. By the time of the Song Dynasty, even Luoyang was defeated.
Kaifeng City has more convenient transportation...
However, Li Yuanjia was quite happy that the emperor postponed his return to Chang'an.
At least his wedding to the enlargement lady can be postponed to next summer as a matter of course, and Li Yuanjia also has more time to clean up his new residence. Of course, more importantly, he can rest assured that he can finish what he wants to do!
After pondering for a moment, a smile appeared on Li Yuanjia's lips.
"Liu Mei, pass my order."
Swinging his sleeves, Li Yuanjia said calmly: "Early tomorrow morning, let Li Zhong, Zhang Wan, Han Cheng, Wang Pu, Ma Liang and Sun Zhan enter the house, and let Han Shan and Han Lucheng come to see me at the same time!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Mei bowed and responded.
And just when Liu Mei turned around and walked towards the entrance of the courtyard, Chun Yan, who was leaving to serve the king, his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously held his hands to his chest: "Wow! The king is so handsome, I have to look at you with my hands behind my back again.
What the hell..."
…
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
…
In the small courtyard where King Han usually likes to stay, the housekeeper Han Shan, the housekeeper Han Lucheng, the housekeeper Wang Pu of the papermaking workshop, and the housekeeper Li Zhong of the movable type workshop stood in a row, holding their breaths and listening to the sound of the paper.
The sound of pages turning.
No one spoke, no one even moved a hand or foot.
Everyone's eyes were locked on the book that Li Yuanjia was reading. However, some people had calm expressions, while others had wandering eyes, and their hearts were beating with the sound of the pages turning, as if Li Yuanjia was reading the book at this time.
It's the same thing that matters to their lives.
"Snapped!"
After turning the last page, Li Yuanjia squinted and thought for a moment, and finally picked up the book and put it aside under it. At this time, there were several stacks of almost identical books stacked up.
And it was this "pop" that made the bodies of three or four people suddenly shake!
But as if he didn't notice their abnormal behavior, Li Yuanjia glanced at the people in front of him and said calmly: "Okay, I have read the account books for the past six months..."
"Gudong!"
After listening to his words, at least two people swallowed subconsciously.
"But I'm very dissatisfied with the account books you kept!"
Li Yuanjia frowned and said after scanning Han Shan's face from the left to Ma Liang's face on the far right, and then from right to left again.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Han Shan took the lead and leaned down: "Old slave, you deserve to die!"
"Damn the little one!"
…
"Okay, everyone, get up!"
Seeing that his words made all these people kneel down, Li Yuanjia waved his hands and said impatiently: "Don't kneel down all the time...I didn't even say why you were dissatisfied, what the hell do you deserve? Huh?"
!”
Looking at the group of people in front of him, Li Yuanjia felt angry.
It's just that what he was angry about was that everyone knelt down and apologized as soon as they heard his words, not the account books in their hands. Although there were many vague figures in it, such as more than 100 guan of income and more than 10 guan of expenditure today, and the order of recording was
It was quite confusing, but similarly, Arabic numerals began to appear in the ledgers, especially the boys like Li Zhong, who had already started to use these things just a few days after taking over the workshop, which made Li Yuanjia very gratified.
Of course, there is also a little bit of other anger.
There is nothing wrong with the ancient accounting method, but if you still don’t think about improving it after teaching yourself Arabic numerals and being able to record accurately, you are either not trying to make progress or you have something wrong with you...
Li Yuanjia's words made several people feel shocked. Finally, Han Shan hurriedly said: "Please give me your permission, Your Majesty!"
"Haha, no need!"
With a sneer, Li Yuanjia pushed the account book at hand and said directly: "Last month I told you to take stock of your warehouses. Have you got any results?"
"Go back to your Majesty, we already have it."
"We have taken stock."
"There is a result, Your Majesty!"
Following the answers, Li Yuanjia narrowed his eyes and said: "That's good! Starting from next month, everyone in the palace will use the latest accounting method... Chun Yan!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After hearing Li Yuanjia call her, Chun Yan, the maid who had been waiting nearby, immediately picked up a stack of books from the table next to her, and then gave each of them a copy.
"From next month, you can only use this to keep accounts!"
After everyone had a book in hand, Li Yuanjia said solemnly: "Every income and expenditure must be recorded in our words and Tianzhu numbers at the same time. In addition, in order to facilitate recording, all account books in the future must be written horizontally.
