Chapter 229: Favor
Why are the more trivial accounts of the National Chamber of Commerce so clear?
The Hubu Shangshu who said these words was slightly taken aback...
Yes, why?
The accountants in the National Chamber of Commerce are just the ones that Xu Qing hired from Yongzhou City at the beginning, and he grabbed a lot of them.
However, the big and small officials of the Duzhi Division of the Ministry of Household Affairs are all carefully selected, and the head of the Duzhi Yamen and Yuanwailang are also the people who were named on the gold list in the imperial examination.
He is the most proficient in calculation in the Chu Kingdom!
How could it be inferior to the accountant Mr. who was recruited casually by the younger brother?
...
When he finally retired from the court, the Emperor of Chu ordered the Ministry of Accounting to sort out the expenditures of the Ministry of Accounting for the previous year within ten days, and calculate the specific expenditure figures, which will be handed over to the imperial study room Lombok Yulan after ten days.
Hubu Shangshu had no choice but to bow and say yes again and again.
The state treasury is a big deal. If the accounts of the state treasury are in chaos, then the state of Chu will also be in chaos.
Everything can be messed up, but the treasury of the Great Chu and the army of the Great Chu cannot be messed up no matter what!
Just after Xu Qing came out of the Great Hall, he was grabbed by the sleeve by the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs: "Junior brother, please stop."
Xu Qing turned around and looked at the Hubu Shangshu, arched his cupped hands, looked at the Hubu Shangshu and said, "Brother, is it for checking the accounts?"
The Minister of the Household Department said: "You know me, junior brother. Junior brother is really smart. How does junior brother's National Chamber of Commerce calculate accounts? Senior brother wants to ask junior brother for advice. I think senior brother owes you a favor."
Just now, His Majesty above the court was right. Because the shops of the National Chamber of Commerce are scattered, the accounts should be more difficult to calculate than the Ministry of Accounts. However, the accounts of the National Chamber of Commerce have never had any problems, which means that the National Chamber of Commerce checks the accounts. The speed is several times faster than that of the Ministry of Finance.
If you can get the accounting method of the National Chamber of Commerce, it may be possible to complete the account verification in ten days.
...
To be called Junior Junior Brother by a 40 or 50-year-old person like Hubu Shangshu is already enough to give goosebumps, and now Hubu Shangshu suddenly said something clever, which made Xu Qing fight a cold war...
Xu Qing coughed and said: "Ahem, there is no problem with the method that senior brother asked our business school to calculate accounts, that is..."
"What is it?"
"Bingxue smart is not used to describe men..."
"Ahem, it's not important, it's not important, come on, little brother, go this way..."
Xu Qing was very skeptical, how did the Minister of the Household Department pass the imperial examination? What does Bingxue smart mean? It's not that the Minister of the Household Department doesn't know, right?
I really went to the doctor in a hurry, and I forgot how to flatter?
...
However, Xu Qing also understood the anxious mood of the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting. It took ten days to settle the treasury expenditures, but the Department of the Ministry of Accounting still had a bunch of trivial expenses that had not been accounted for.
But this is also something that can't be helped. Who made last year's disasters so difficult?
The treasury is so poor that it doesn't even have enough military funds to replace the horses...
But the Emperor of Chu doesn't care how many disasters there are, the accounts must be clear.
If the Hubu Shangshu can't make the accounts of the household department clear, then the Hubu Shangshu will wait for his descendants to give him the Qingming...
Although the Emperor Chu is more benevolent, it should not be so exaggerated, but it is also possible to downgrade and pay.
In order to maintain his current position, the Household Minister must think about how to improve the efficiency of accounting.
...
Xu Qing is still very happy to help this senior brother who doesn't know where he came from, Xu Qing is also very helpless, looking around the court, most of them are his senior brothers, one by one, the civil servants call it, generals That's the same name, I don't know where it came from...
After Xu Qing and Hubu Shangshu left the court hall, a young man in silk robes walked towards him.
The young man bowed his cupped hands after seeing the Hubu Shangshu, "Father, the carriage boy for the Hubu yamen has been prepared by the driver."
Hubu Shangshu nodded and was about to speak when he saw the handsome young man standing beside his father.
Out of politeness, the young man cupped his hands to Xu Qing and said, "I wonder if this brother is..."
Xu Qing was about to return the gift with cupped hands, but the young man was slapped on the head by the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs: "You are a rebellious son, no big or small! What brother, this is your Uncle Xu!"
The young man was dumbfounded immediately, and looked at Xu Qing with a dull gaze, with an expression of disbelief on his face: "Xu... Uncle Xu?"
Is the young man in front of him as old as himself?
It looks like it hasn't been crowned yet, right?
Has this become his uncle?
And... I've never heard of Own's father having any other sects...
Their Zheng family is obviously a century-old family, where did Own's father get him a uncle? !
And this uncle is still so young...
Hubu Shangshu looked at Xu Qing and said, "Little brother, don't blame me, brother, this dog is a little ignorant sometimes..."
Xu Qing looked at the young man, then at the Minister of the Household Department... Should I speak?
Of course, no matter how much the Minister of the Household Department has, he is about to get into the carriage with Xu Qing, and he is still waiting for Xu Qing to teach the people in Duzhiya how to check the accounts.
Xu Qing hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, don't go to the household department with the carriage, let's go to the State Chamber of Commerce to get some things, some utensils for accounting."
Utensils? The Minister of the Ministry of Households was slightly taken aback, and he had never heard of any other utensils in the accounting books other than using calculations. Could it be that the speed of the National Chamber of Commerce's accounting books was related to the utensils just mentioned by the younger brother?
The utensil that Xu Qing wants to take is naturally the abacus. Except for the National Chamber of Commerce and its stores, the abacus has never appeared in other places.
After all, Xu Qing hasn't created this thing for too long, and it's normal that it hasn't been popularized.
If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. If he wants to check the account books of the Ministry of Accounts within ten days, it is impossible to rely on calculations without a good calculation tool.
Fortunately, the National Chamber of Commerce has produced a large number of spare abacus and kept them in the warehouse for emergencies.
This saves the time for the Ministry of Accounts to do their own abacus.
Afterwards, Xu Qing picked a few spare accountants from the finance department of the standby State Business School and went with them.
The National Chamber of Commerce has already consciously trained a large number of backup accountants, because the more the National Chamber of Commerce's business expands, the more accountants it needs.
Some things always have to be prepared in advance.
Xu Qing is still very happy to help the Minister of the Household Department. After all, the court is intriguing. Don't look at the people who call each other nicely, but these are all false, and they are all faces that they can give or not.
But favors are different, what is owed is what is owed.
Although this thing does not cost money, it is often expensive!
The backup accountants are still wondering, what exactly did Sir Alex tell us to do? Where are you going?
At this time, the first accountant following Xu Qing suddenly turned his head to look at the accountant behind him and said, "Pass it on, don't ask where you are going, don't ask what you are doing, let alone say that you are the worst one I have ever taken care of!" session..."
