Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 436 Abacus
It was still raining outside.

Qin Mansion, Qin Tian's special room for some experiments, Qin Tian is doing calculations.

The abacus is quite simple, just use some wooden bamboo sticks and find some beads.

The abacus made by Qin Tian himself, the abacus beads are relatively expensive and made of jade, but for other people's abacus, use some relatively good round beads.

Qin Tian kept doing calculations in the room. Although this thing is simple, it is still quite time-consuming.

Lu Huaniang watched Qin Tian doing these things, she was very disdainful.

"Sanggong, can this abacus you make really be used to settle accounts?"

Lu Huaniang was walking beside Qin Tian, ​​and Qin Tianteng patted her on the buttocks: "Of course we can settle accounts, you have to trust your husband."

Lu Huaniang was spanked again by Qin Tian, ​​and her cheeks blushed immediately. Fortunately, there was no one else here, so she didn't hold back, and said angrily, "Not serious."

As she said that, Lu Huaniang leaned against Qin Tian's body suddenly. The clothes she was wearing were thin. After touching Qin Tian, ​​a wave of heat immediately spread to Qin Tian's body.

In an instant, Qin Tian suddenly became angry.

So he didn't care about continuing the work in hand, and threw Lu Huaniang to the ground directly.

"You...what are you doing?" Lu Huaniang asked pretending to be panicked, and Qin Tian chuckled: "You little fairy, you seduced me, what do you think I am doing?"

"Hate……"

The rain continued, and even the faint chirping of cicadas could be heard.

Qin Tian has never been so excited as before. Although he is his wife, she is almost like stealing. The feeling is really not something that can be experienced in normal times.

The two were in a hurry, as time seemed to pass quickly.

Qin Tian continued to make calculations, and Lu Huaniang, who had just experienced personnel affairs, had already gone back to her room to rest. After all, she was a little unbearable for a while and had to recuperate.

It rained all day and all night, and it stopped at noon the next day.

At this time, Qin Tian had already made several calculations.

After finishing the calculation, Qin Tian brought people to the place where the ledger was kept.

After Tang Rong and Lu Huaniang saw the appearance of those abacus, they still didn't believe that this thing could settle accounts.

"Msanggong, this is just a little toy, what kind of account can it be?"

"That's right, Mr. Xiang is really good at deceiving people."

The two women said each other sentence by sentence, Qin Tian smiled and said: "Since the two ladies don't believe it, let's try it out."

"How to compete?" Tang Rong asked curiously.

"I think there are seven or eight accountants here, so how about it, pick out the two who are the fastest to settle the accounts, and I will calculate the same account with them, and the two of them can join hands to see who will finish the account first, and it will be very fast." Exactly, how is it?"

This competition was very fair. Tang Rong nodded after listening to it. Naturally, Lu Huaniang had no objections. Soon, she picked out two people.

"Msister, the two of them are old accountants. They are extremely fast at calculating accounts. They are usually much faster than others. If you let them cooperate, you should think clearly."

The two accountants looked a little fat, and they were smiling at this moment, obviously they didn't care much about Qin Tian's challenge to them.

"Master Hou, in the entire city of Chang'an, the two of us are the ones who settle accounts the fastest. You are definitely no match for Master Hou who asked us to cooperate."

"Yeah, I think it's better to forget it."

Qin Tian shook his head: "This Marquis is not quick to settle accounts, but with this abacus, it will be different, you can count as quickly as you can later, if you can beat me, I will give each of you ten pennies, It's a reward."

Hearing that if you win Qin Tian, ​​you will be rewarded with ten guan coins, the two accountants immediately became excited. Their wages for a month's work are still less than ten guan coins. If they can really win Qin Tian, ​​it will be great.

"Master Hou keeps his word?"

"Look at what you said, it doesn't matter if Master Hou can talk?"

The two accountants were afraid that Qin Tian would go back on his word, Qin Tian laughed and said, "Don't worry, what Ben Hou said has never been ignored, let's start now."

After taking out the same ledger, the three of them began to count.

The two accountants are veterans of the field, and they settle accounts very quickly. Tang Rong and Lu Huaniang watched by, feeling a little worried about Qin Tianlai. After all, the two accountants did not hold back anything for rewards. .

However, Qin Tian seemed very calm here. After taking out the abacus, he waved it up and down to make the abacus return to its place. Then, holding the abacus in one hand, he fiddled with the abacus back and forth with the other hand.

Qin Tian's hands were very fast, and the beads of the abacus crackled. Just after half a stick of incense, the two accountants had already done half of the calculation.

But at this moment, Qin Tian stopped.

Lu Huaniang was taken aback, and asked in a low voice, "Why is Mr. Xiang not counted?"

Qin Tian said: "It's over."

"How is this possible?" Tang Rong was also shocked, and Qin Tian shrugged: "We'll see the result later."

When the two accountants saw that Qin Tian had finished the calculation, they felt a little anxious, and quickly put in it again. After another half a stick of incense, the two of them checked it once, and after confirming that it was correct, they wrote down the final result.

At this time, Qin Tian had already said: "Is it 210 three strokes?"

After the number was said, the two accountants were stunned for a moment, and couldn't believe it.

"Master Hou... Master Hou, did you figure this out?"

Qin Tian shrugged his shoulders: "It's not counting, could it be that you still can't guess?"

A cashier smiled wryly: "It would be great if I guessed it right, but Lord Hou's answer is the same as ours."

At this time, another accountant had already run over: "Master Hou, this thing of yours can really settle accounts, it's too powerful, it's faster than the two of us, basically the speed of four people's calculations."

"Of course you can settle accounts, do you want to learn?"

"Study, of course." The two accountants said in unison.

They work as accountants, and it is actually very depressing to settle accounts on weekdays. If they have an abacus, they can improve their efficiency and save a lot of time for them. Why not do it?
The accountants are very enthusiastic, so Qin Tian naturally did not hide it, and told them how to use the abacus. Abacus is actually easy to learn, so these accountants soon learned abacus.

After learning the abacus, it will naturally be much faster to calculate the accounts. It may take more than ten days to calculate the accounts of the Marquis of Qin, but these accountants use the abacus to complete all the accounts in two days.

Before this quarter's taxes came, they finally figured out their accounts.
