Chapter 13 A Disciple

"My little husband, Lei Qi is a rough man. If you offend me, please have a tea. This is Longjing this year, and you scholars will definitely like it."

Tang Yi smiled and picked up the teacup, took a sip, with a faint bitterness and a strong fragrance, and praised: "It's indeed a good tea, but the important thing is, I'd better look at the account book first."

"Okay, Lei likes water, radish, and wine is crispy. Please come here!"

Lei Qi could not wait any longer. He shook his tall body and took Tang Yi out of the guest room. He arrived at the east wing, where the three accounting rooms were staying. As soon as he walked in, he saw a shocking scene. The three of them grabbed each other's clothes, frowned, and panted as if they were panting.

Mr. Fang said, "I'm right, you're all wrong!"

"Whoever is surnamed Fang, we are all pointing to the ability to learn. Why are you right? We are wrong?" Mr. Ge was small, but not weak, jumped and roared, and spitting stars were flying all over the sky.

Mr. Wu was the same and scolded: "Your principles are not understood, I'm right."

"You are right, who admits?"

"Who admits it?" Mr. Wu looked up suddenly and happened to see Tang Yi, and immediately shouted: "Young man, if you have the ability, do you tell me the correct answer?"

Seeing this, the other two people let go of their hands and shouted at Tang Yi: "Tell me, how much did you pay? Do you don't know the answer, you are making up and deceiving us?"

Lei Qi was also very curious, and of course he wanted to see what Tang Yi really is, so he said, "Little husband, Lei also wants to open his eyes. Do you see if it's convenient?"

Tang Yi smiled slightly and said to Lei Qi: "Actually, this question is not complicated. It is better to let the three gentlemen play the role, one in the fur shop, one in the tea shop, and the other in the shopping mall. It turns out that the money is in hand and how much money is left after the transaction, and you will naturally know the loss!"

"Yes, why didn't we expect it!"

Mr. Fang slapped his forehead and shouted in surprise. Soon the three of them entered the role and followed the steps to trade. Soon, Mr. Ge, who played the tea shop, and Mr. Fang, who played the fur account, were surprised to find that one of them had lent out 100 taels, recovered 100 taels, and the other borrowed 100 taels, and paid another 100 taels. In fact, both sides were even, and the real loss was on the guests.

Mr. Fang asked Mr. Wu for sixty-five taels, plus a fox fur, and the loss was just like this!

"Oh, why am I so confused!"

All three of them sighed to the sky, burst into tears, and had a lot of beards. Why were they deceived by such a fool? It was so embarrassing!

Mr. Fang and Mr. Ge's faces were red, and they wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it.

"Master Lei, we are incompetent, so I'm leaving!"

The two accountants didn't even have to pay for their wages these days and they were directly defeated. However, Mr. Wu, the youngest, kept lowering his head and thinking, suddenly raised his head, and a light appeared in his eyes.

"I understand! I finally understand!"

Mr. Wu looked excited, shook his clothes and bowed deeply when facing Tang Yi.

"My little husband, your question finally made me understand. These days we are immersed in complex accounts and cannot extricate ourselves. In fact, many of them are just interference. As long as we grasp the core bank flow, we can figure out the deficit!"

Mr. Wu said it was certain that among the three people, he had the best foundation in arithmetics, and he also studied it clearly in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic". Logically speaking, Tang Yi's question was not difficult for him. The reason why he fell into it was because he lacked knowledge. After all, Liu Hebao was just a small place. They usually contacted the transactions and records. If they mixed up their loans, they would be unable to figure out the north, south, west and east.

Through actual operation, Mr. Wu felt very happy to see the blue sky through the clouds and mist. He sighed and said, "The ancients said that if you take a word, you will be a teacher. Today, my younger husband taught me the next question and taught me how to understand the question. Wu was grateful. If my younger husband didn't dislike him, I would like to be your teacher!"

As he said that, Mr. Wu really bowed his knees and bowed, Tang Yi was surprised. Mr. Wu was about the same age as his father, so how could he accept his courtesy? Tang Yi hurriedly reached out to stop him. However, Mr. Wu was still slanderous and really bowed, which made Tang Yi feel at a loss and complained repeatedly.

Lei Qi, who was standing beside him, didn't care much. He smiled boldly and said, "Young master, just accept an apprentice. There are many old men with white hair on the dock who call Lei Master!"

"Can that be the same?" Tang Yi smiled bitterly. How could he be compared with the gangsters? But Mr. Wu is quite sincere. Forget it, let's teach him something.

"Mr. Wu, get up first." Tang Yi said: "I am too young and can't accept disciples. But if you are willing, you will settle the accounts together in the next few days. If you don't understand anything, I can give me some advice. As for the difficulties you encounter in the future, you can also come to me and just treat it as a dispute!"

"I understand. Master wants to test me. Don't worry, Wu Tiancheng must study hard and keep it to satisfy his master!" Mr. Wu said confidently.

It was still hard to explain, so Tang Yi simply stopped talking.

The three of them walked into the room, with dozens of books on the shelves, and there were a lot of discarded paper on the table on the ground, which was obviously all three of them had calculated before.

"First pack a clean table, then organize the account book in chronological order."

"Yes, Master!" Wu Tiancheng replied quickly. He had been working for several days and was familiar with the road. He didn't have a long time to organize the account book.

At this time, Tang Yi picked up the brush and wrote four words on the paper: old pipe, new collection, fire, and saw that Wu Tiancheng took a peek and asked in surprise: "Master, is it the method of clearing accounts for the four pillars?"

"Well, that's right. I looked at the accounts. The main problem is that it's too messy and too complicated, which makes people dizzy. If you can re-simplify the relationship, it's not difficult to solve the problem!"

Wu Tiancheng's face turned red and sighed, "It's not difficult for Master to be a good person, but we can't do it!"

Tang Yi was shocked and couldn't help asking: "Don't you know the Four-Pillar Settlement Method? This has been around since the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty has developed and improved!"

"I have indeed heard of it. When I went to Suzhou a few years ago, I asked several accountants, but they were unwilling to teach it." Wu Tiancheng said the more he said, the lower his voice.

Account settlement is an advanced skill. The ordinary account settlement teacher can earn three or five taels a month. The master is regarded as a treasure by his boss and can even be a master for officials. Almost all accountants cherish their own treasures, so that they can avoid teaching their disciples and starving their master to death.

However, Tang Yi didn't care much. If he wasn't afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, he would even want to directly take out the duplex accounting method. After all, in his eyes, the settlement of accounts was just a small skill that could not be even smaller.

Tang Yi thought so, but Wu Tiancheng didn't think so. He had been in a private school for several years, but his family was in decline and his parents died. He relied on his intelligence to steal the teacher from the old accountant, and learned to calculate and keep accounts. He supported his two sisters and married them all over the place. Wu Tiancheng knew very well that nothing was as good as his ability, so he was not as young as Tang Yi, nor did he care whether he was losing face. As long as he could learn skills, he would not be afraid of no matter how much he suffered!

From this day on, whenever Tang Yi arrived, there was a cup of hot and cold tea on the table, the accounts that were sorted out yesterday and the content to be done today, which was analyzed in detail and placed on the table, and it was clearly visible at a glance.

Tang Yi was also amazed that even if Wu Tiancheng is in the future, he still has excellent secretary. He does not hide his own personal information. He will explain to Wu Tiancheng the knowledge of arithmetic and geometry when cleaning up the account books every day.

This lecture is amazing. Tang Yi instilled many concepts from later generations into Wu Tiancheng, and it seemed that he had opened up the Ren and Du meridians. In the past, Chinese mathology focused on the application of examples, but he was not very clear about the principles behind it. Tang Yi pointed out the theorem directly. Wu Tian’s foundation was not bad. With this little bit of effort, he could understand all the vague parts and learn from them. In the last two days, Tang Yi was responsible for the acceptance, and Wu Tiancheng alone made the account book almost complete!

You should know that a few days ago, the three of them were confused and had no idea. Now they can deal with it alone. The difference is so big that it is impossible to make a fool of themselves.

Wu Tiancheng was completely convinced. After the last calculation was settled, he respectfully knelt in front of Tang Yi with his robe and without saying a word, and kowtowed three times in a row.
