Chapter 169: New Mathematics
After feeding Xiao Ruxue, the shopkeeper Xueda of Qingxue Study excitedly ran to work.
After Xiao Ruxue left, Xiao Ye came over, looked at Xu Qing cupped hands and said, "Brother Xu, there is a very troublesome thing about Guoshang."
After Xu Qing and Xiao Ye sat down, Xu Qing asked, "What's the matter? Brother Xiao, tell me."
Xiao Ye said: "Nowadays, because of humanities and customs, businessmen in various places can make a lot of money in some places, but in some places they can only maintain a simple balance of payments. However, these accounts are extremely trivial and numerical. There are so many, and it is very cumbersome to calculate the statistics and calculations of several accountants, and it is impossible to accurately calculate the profit and cost expenses, so it can only be considered a big one."
As he said that, Xiao Ye sighed and said: "If there is only a rough idea but not a detailed one, there will be a lot of loopholes that can be exploited in the middle! It is impossible to know where the shopkeeper has been greedy for some money, and more than one person is together. It is also easy to confuse the accounts with counting chips, hey, it is really difficult, if only Mr. Zhuye Qing's accountant has the skills of those officials in the Department of Housekeeping..."
After Xiao Ye finished speaking, Xu Qing was taken aback, good guy, Xiao Ye really dared to think, where is Duzhiya? The place where the household department checks and manages the accounts must gather people who are the most proficient in accounting, and only after studying hard in the middle of the dynasty can they enter the Duzhi Yamen as an official.
Where did Zhu Ye Qing's accountant come from? Twenty taels of silver can ask for a lot!
If Mr. Zhu Yeqing's accountant could have the degree to pass the branch office, Zhu Yeqing's accountants would have gone to take the imperial examination a long time ago!
The current national merchants look huge, but they are actually just newborn babies. Although there are branches in various places, they are not deeply rooted after all, and most of the shopkeepers they appoint are recruited. In addition, many places are not as good as some big companies.
Of course, it takes a lot of time for a firm to grow from small to large, and Xu Qing can't help it...
But if we only talk about calculations and auditing... Maybe there are ways to improve.
...
afternoon
Xu Qing called some accountants from Qingxue Study and Zhu Ye Qing together, intending to train them some methods that can be used to improve the checking of accounts.
It's really not easy to make money these days, the chairman has to personally train his employees.
Know what he is about to give up?
What he was about to give up was an afternoon of fishing time! If these people can't learn it, it will be a big loss!
Tables and chairs have been set up in the room, and it looks like a private school. Most of these accountants are in their thirties. It was twenty years ago that they went to this kind of private school. Now Then again, there is really nostalgia in it.
There was only one table in the middle in the first row, this seat was added by Xiao Ruxue herself, it was her own seat.
Xu Qing always thought that Xiao Ruxue would hate arithmetic, but it was strange that she offered to learn it this time.
But that's okay, children will become smarter if they learn more arithmetic, that's what Xu Qing's Olympiad teacher told him in his previous life when he was in elementary school.
...
First of all, Xu Qing sent an abacus to each shopkeeper, which Xu Qing asked Xiao Ye to ask many carpenters in Yongzhou City to make it out.
Then Xu Qing began to teach simple abacus calculations. Abacus calculations are not as troublesome as counting chips. A small square plate can calculate data that cannot be calculated by ten times and a hundred times.
Moreover, the upper limit of this abacus is also very high!
The bottom can be used for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and the top can be used for nuclear bomb data!
Use it well, maybe Xu Qing can rub a nuclear bomb in this era!
Well... yy is too much...
However, although it is impossible for Xu Qing to actually rub nuclear bombs with his hands, this also intuitively shows the primitive but powerful computing power of the abacus, a counting tool, and it has not been completely eliminated even in Xu Qing's era.
Several beads per box, the upper limit of computing power per second depends on the operator's personal hand speed!
The design is very ginkgo, very easy to use!
In addition, in order to facilitate the calculation, Xu Qing also popularized Arabic numerals for the people here to count. After all, there are too many strokes in Chinese characters, which affects the calculation speed.
After calculating the final data, it will undoubtedly be much easier to transcribe it in uppercase Chinese characters.
As for where these numbers come from? Xu Qing can only say that he figured it out by himself.
Really explain to them that this is Arabic numerals? They probably don't understand, and the name is also a mouthful that doesn't conform to Da Chu's naming habits.
It took Xu Qing more than an hour to explain to them the usage of the abacus and the simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations in detail. As for other calculation methods, even if Xu Qing teaches them now, they will not be able to use them, and they will be wasted. Xu Qing's precious fishing time.
Since there was no blackboard, Xu Qing had no choice but to order a piece of paper on the wall to write explanations on.
During this period of time, Xiao Ruxue was the one who listened most carefully, and kept looking at Xu Qing with her big black and bright eyes.
Then Xu Qing gave several sets of huge and irregular data for them to perform calculations to test the results.
If it were in the past, they might not get results if they used an abacus to calculate these huge data for an hour, but now with the addition of the abacus, it is obviously much faster.
Xiao Ruxue is still very young, and in future generations she will still be a junior high school student carrying a schoolbag to school, her ability to accept new things is obviously much better than those thirty-something accountants sitting in the rows behind!
But fortunately, most of these accountants are scholars who have not passed the imperial examination. They have some cultural skills, and they are not very slow to learn.
During this time, Xu Qing was walking around in this room, like an invigilator.
The expressions on the faces of the cashiers are also different, some look relaxed, some look dignified, and some even switch back and forth between these two expressions!
At this moment, Xiao Ruxue put down the brush and bent her eyes and said, "Xu Qing Xu Qing! I'm done!"
Xu Qing went over to check the data calculated by Xiao Ruxue, all of them were correct, and he could reward a little red flower.
Xu Qing put the test paper back on the table and said, "Everything is correct, it's amazing! Can I make fried chicken drumsticks for you later?"
Xiao Ruxue nodded vigorously and said, "Okay!"
After Xiao Ruxue walked out of the examination room, Xu Qing looked at the accountants and said, "The shopkeeper Xue who is only 14 years old has already done the calculations and is all correct. Everyone is educated, so don't fall behind a child." , there are still ten minutes left for the exam...ahem...the time for a cup of tea is over, everyone, cheer up."
