Chapter 45: The Real Purpose
Li Yuanjia once heard someone say that double-entry accounting laid the foundation for the development of capitalism.
Its greatest value is that it can clearly track the source and destination of funds, and can clearly calculate the return on capital. This makes it possible to separate the ownership and management rights of assets. After the concept of depreciation rate is created, all property can be
Converted into assets in double-entry accounting.
Some economists even believe that capitalism originated from double-entry accounting...
Of course, I don’t know whether Li Yuanjia is real or fake.
And his knowledge of double-entry bookkeeping was limited to this. In fact, he only knew about the existence of this thing when he heard a classmate in the accounting industry brag about it at a class reunion. He was very interested in it.
How many ears.
However, that's all Li Yuanjia's understanding was.
In terms of real and specific applications, the only thing he knew was that the double-entry accounting method was very demanding. It seemed that the ins and outs of each fund must be recorded, and then based on these records, one could check the operating status of a company. As for how to keep accounts,
, how to check, it is really a black eye, after all, for him, it is just two words complicated!
As a doctor, of course he doesn't understand.
So although he racked his brains to give it a try, after thinking about it for two days, he reluctantly decided to let all the properties in the palace continue to use his most familiar accounting method, running accounts!
It's just a little more advanced than the running accounts of this era. For example, Li Yuanjia required that every transaction or income must be recorded in Chinese characters and Arabic numerals; for example, he specially designed a so-called "reimbursement form" and handed it over to Wang Pu.
To make engravings, each person first prints hundreds of them for use; another example is the horizontal recording sequence from left to right, which is completely different from the daily vertical and right to left recording order.
Anyone who has ever worked should know this poor financial common sense.
Therefore, in addition to the reimbursement forms for shopping, there are also "application forms" for applying for the use of certain supplies, "monthly forms" specifically for "paying wages" to people under the palace, etc. In addition to the format requirements,
In addition, each list must also have the signatures of the handler, approver and financial personnel to determine who will be responsible if problems arise in the future...
"Every once in a while, I will find someone to check the accounts!"
Ignoring the ugly expressions of some people, Li Yuanjia said calmly: "If there is a problem with someone's account, there is no need to talk about it. You yourself should know what the result will be. Similarly, if anyone still uses the old-fashioned
The accounting method, either deliberately confusing the accounts, or recording four cents per dou of grain as fourteen cents or even forty cents... Haha."
The last chuckle made people tremble all over.
In the eyes of many people, Li Yuanjia is a gentle and temperless person. He never seems to be angry because of anything, and rarely punishes his servants for their mistakes. But Han Shan and Han Lucheng clearly remember that for several years
When this great king was only twelve or thirteen years old, there was a time when he was such a terrifying existence!
So he didn’t dare to hesitate anymore. Han Shan quickly said: "Your Majesty, I, I don’t understand what Tianzhu numbers are! And if they are written horizontally from left to right... I can’t do it either!"
"Haha, just learn if you don't know how!"
Li Yuanjia didn't leave any room for his old butler, and chuckled directly: "If you really can't learn it, just leave the accounting to Han Lucheng! It just so happens that you can also take it easy
One thing, I just need to take care of the things around me on weekdays."
"..."
After hearing what Li Yuanjia said, Han Shan's expression suddenly changed!
What's the meaning?
Leave the accounting to Han Lucheng?
this……
Doesn't this mean that I have to hand over the financial power of the palace to him?
Even though Han Lucheng was his son, after hearing what Li Yuanjia said, Han Shan's heart was still beating fast, and a feeling of panic quickly surged into his heart!
Your Majesty, this is...
Do you want to give up your position as the chief steward of the palace?
At this moment, Han Lucheng's expression also changed, and he quickly knelt down again: "Your Majesty, this must not be done. I don't dare..."
"Um?!"
Before Han Lucheng could finish speaking, Li Yuanjia narrowed his eyes and made a sound that immediately stopped his words!
"I have made up my mind on this matter, you don't need to say anything else!"
Seeing the panic on the faces of Han Shan and his son, Li Yuanjia couldn't bear it for a moment, but after thinking about his plan, he still became cruel and said in a deep voice: "And don't say I won't give you time, we will start in three months! If anyone
If you can't do it, I will send someone to help you do it. If anyone can do it, I will naturally reward you and double the monthly rate..."
…
"Father……"
After watching Li Zhong and others leave happily, Han Lucheng walked carefully to Han Shan's side, opened his mouth to shout, hesitated, and closed his mouth again.
To be honest, he really didn't know what to say.
"Shut up!"
At this time, Han Shan's face was very ugly. After scolding his son in a low voice, he immediately continued: "Let's go back and talk about it... Go to your side."
"yes."
The father and son walked quickly back to Han Lucheng's hut. After closing the door, Han Shan immediately asked in a low voice: "Lu Cheng, can you use Zhu numbers that day?"
"meeting!"
Nodding without hesitation, Han Lucheng also whispered in a low voice: "Earlier, when the king taught Li Zhong and others, the child followed and learned a little bit. Later, he found it very convenient to use, so he specifically asked Li Zhong and others for advice... Father,
In fact, it’s not that difficult, you can definitely learn it in three months.”
"..."
After hearing his son's words, Han Shan's eyes narrowed, and Han Shan's brows also wrinkled.
"Father……"
"alright!"
He waved his hands impatiently to shut up his son. After walking around the room for a few times, Han Shan suddenly sighed heavily!
Since Han Lucheng said that he would definitely be able to learn that number in three months, Han Shan already knew it in his mind. If he really wanted to be cruel, he believed that he would be fine. After all, he could be the steward of the Prince's Mansion, so how could his brain not be so easy to use?
?But what happened today made Han Shan feel a sense of crisis in his heart!
He remembered that the last time, the king had said that Han Lucheng would succeed him.
"Could it be that……"
Thinking of this, Han Shan's heart couldn't help but twitch: "The king dislikes my age? So he wants to replace me? If this is the case, today's matter is no ordinary trivial matter..."
…
"hehe."
Putting down the pen in his hand, Li Yuanjia suddenly chuckled, his eyes lingering on the two names he had just written.
Han Shan?
Or Han Lucheng?
Is it important?
He tapped the table lightly with the tip of his thin pen. Li Yuanjia curled his lips and a faint smile flashed in his eyes: Actually, it doesn't really matter who will be the butler in the future. What matters is the use of Tianzhu numbers in Prince Han's Mansion. Then
Chapter completed!
