"Master Su, that's a good plan. I think Zheng Xiu only looked at a cup of tea before he put down his things and left. He must have lost his understanding."

"Let me just say, those things, not to mention you and me, even if the accounting clerk comes here, his head will be as big as a bucket, let alone a new person?"

"Don't care what happens to you in other places. When you come to our Ministry of Industry, if you are a dragon, you have to be coiled for us, and if you are a tiger, you have to lie down for us."

Just as these principals were whispering to each other, they discovered that Zheng Xiu not only came back again, but even held a large piece of charcoal in his hand.

???

The principals all have small heads and big doubts.

What is this for?

Before the adults could react, Zheng Xiu walked up to a guard holding the charcoal in his arms.

"Guard, how are your sword skills?"

"My lord, you are joking. Although I am only a sixth-grade martial artist, my sword skills are passed down from my family."

"Okay, can you help me cut this piece of carbon into a well-proportioned carbon strip as thick as my little finger?"

"Sir, please take a look."

The sixth-grade martial artist cut the charcoal strips into shapes that met Zheng Xiu's requirements with a few brush strokes.

After Zheng Xiu thanked the guard, he prepared to go back to work.

"Thank you, Mr. Zheng, for asking for help for the people."

Zheng Xiu turned around and saw that the guard bowed slightly, then clasped his fists in salute.

"It's a humble job. In fact, things are not going well at home, so thank you, sir."

The guard's body was tied very low.

Zheng Xiu turned around and patted his shoulder.

Honest man, when I become the Great Emperor of Merit in the future, I will make you a great general.

After making up his mind, Zheng Xiu was no longer ready to waste time.

After all, there is still a big pile of data on the table that has not been touched much.

Then he began to calculate the cost of those buildings.

Item: Lianshan County bluestone, value: 9 yuan, purchase: 30,000 yuan, total cost: 214,000 yuan.

…

…

Item: Hongfeng County maple wood, worth 21 taels, purchase: 6,040 taels, total cost 10,800 taels.

Zheng Xiu kept adding up the materials needed for each building.

Then the materials needed for a building were calculated.

But after just half of the calculation, Zheng Xiu's brows furrowed slightly.

Then I started writing and drawing on the rice paper again and started to calculate some things.

Several other adults who saw this scene also began to become suspicious.

"Sir, I wonder if he saw something?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Don't scare yourself. He might just be bluffing. If you look at those account books, it will only take a few seconds to turn to the next page. He must be writing randomly."

"That's right, he doesn't use calculations or beads. He just writes some ghost symbols on a piece of paper that no one knows. He must be bluffing."

The adults continued to comfort each other, but their eyes never left Zheng Xiu.

One, two, three, five, ten.

As each ledger was taken away and recorded, the hearts of several adults were beating loudly.

At first, only a few adults were watching, but soon the petty officials also turned their attention to Zheng Xiu.

Because that speed is really fast.

You can turn pages with just one breath, and finish a book with just a cup of tea.

The breeze that turned the pages of the book gently blew over the faces of the clerks.

It even made them somewhat immersed in this beautiful fantasy.

You know, it usually takes them at least three days to calculate a book, and they have to constantly check the calculations to avoid errors.

But those problems disappeared when it came to Mr. Zheng.

It's like he knows he won't make a mistake.

If this adult were in the same department as myself, it should save a lot of time.

As time went by, it was soon time to get off work in the morning.

People from other departments are getting off work one after another and getting ready for dinner.

But someone discovered that no one from the Ministry of Works came out.

So some people boldly moved towards the office of the Ministry of Industry.

Soon they found everyone gathered around a table.

The owner of the table wrote furiously, writing symbols one after another that they had never seen before on the paper.

"Who is that?"

Before the person asking questions outside the door had time to ask clearly, he was stopped by someone.

"Shh, keep your voice down, that is Master Zheng Xiu Zheng who just came back from the dead and escaped death."

"Oh, it turned out to be him. What happened? He went crazy after coming out of the prison?"

"Don't talk nonsense, but I heard that he has been doing this for two hours, and he doesn't even eat?"

"I don't know, but don't you think Mr. Su like this is very attractive?"

After the man said this, the people around him immediately stayed away from him and looked at him with perverted eyes.

"No, that's not what I meant."

The man was crying and wanted to explain something, but he didn't have time to speak.

I saw Zheng Xiu over there slapping the charcoal pen in his hand hard.

Most of the charcoal pencils that had been used immediately turned into charcoal powder.

"Huh, sirs, these documents are a bit small, right?"

Zheng Xiu ignored the people surrounding him, but looked at the adults gathered together.

Several adults at this time said it was impossible not to panic.

They watched with their own eyes as Zheng Xiu opened the account books one by one and closed them one by one.

At first they couldn't see the trick, but then they gradually discovered it.

The ledgers where they made accounts will stay in Master Zheng's hands for a while longer.

And Mr. Zheng sometimes even took out a separate piece of paper to write something on.

But if they admit it like this, it proves that not only did they fail to give this newcomer a chance.

Instead, you lose the initiative and you will definitely be controlled by others.

They don't want this. None of you here are clean.

Because those who are clean are either squeezed out by them, or they are already dead.

After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Su, the leader, finally became a little distrustful of other people's methods of falsifying accounts.

So he silently took two steps forward, and then suddenly took action, trying to snatch the piece of paper from Zheng Xiu's hand.

However, Zheng Xiu dodged it with a deft move.

"Master Su, let me ask again, are there some things wrong with these documents?"

Although Zheng Xiu took two steps back, his body remained straight and his eyes were fixed on Mr. Su.

It seemed that he wanted to poke two holes in Mr. Su's body.

I have already given you the opportunity, you must seize it.

"Lord Zheng, you are kidding me. These documents were calculated by all my colleagues and reviewed by the adults above."

"I think even if there are some small omissions, it shouldn't be a big deal. At worst, let's do the calculation again together so that we can fulfill our friendship as colleagues."

Mr. Su wanted to take another two steps forward, but was stopped by Zheng Xiu with a table.

"Master Su, let me ask you one last time, are these documents not correct?"

"Master Zheng, I am telling you for the last time that these things are all approved by the Minister and the Master."

The two people seemed to have finished their final game.

Zheng Xiu breathed out gently, then folded the piece of paper and found the guard who had helped him in the first place.

"Help me deliver this to the Empress."

"If you think I'm a good person, if you want to be a good person."

"This document must be sent to the Empress."
