Chapter 227 Reconciliation
"Miss, so many account books... can you read them all in three days?"

Huier looked at the pile of ledgers, frowned and shook his head, there were too many.

"I can't finish it."

Luo Yunyan picked up a book and looked through it, not in a hurry.

"Can't you finish it? The lady told them that in three days..."

"Yes, after three days, you don't have to read them all. You can get a rough idea of ​​these account books by picking a few of them from each place. You don't need to read them all. Accounting... I can't explain it to you in just a few words. I'll look back later. If you want to learn, I will teach you.”

"Really? Princess teach me how to read accounts?"

Huier's eyes widened with a frightened and nervous look on her face.

"Well, have you recognized all the words I asked you to recognize? Wait until you recognize them all and can read, then you can learn the account book. This kind of thing cannot be rushed."

Hui'er nodded like garlic, "I have learned and memorized all the characters that the princess asked me to learn, but the writing is a bit ugly. I will study hard."

Luo Yunyan looked at it with a smile, "Don't be impatient, take your time. Don't stay up every night just because of studying. By the time your eyes are damaged, the gain outweighs the gain. Learning these is not to gain great skills, but because reading and literacy can help you understand many important principles. Take your time, I need to look at the account book. Go and tell the ancestors that you don’t have to wait for me to eat, she will eat it first.”

"Okay!" Hui'er nodded considerately, poured the tea and laid out the account books before going out.

She is lucky to meet such a master.

When the old princess heard that Luo Yunyan couldn't come over to have a meal, she sighed and didn't force it.

"Three days are so tight, and the fiefdom is so big. There must be a lot of account books sent from various places. How can she read them all by herself?"

"Ancestor, don't worry. The princess has said that you don't need to read it all. The princess also told me to tell my slave to tell my ancestor so that you can feel at ease."

"Okay, okay, you go back and serve her quickly. Don't let her get too tired and forget about food and sleep. Grandma believes in her."

"Yes!"

As soon as Hui'er left, the ancestor had no appetite, so he took a few bites and put it away.

"Are our ancestors worried that the princess is tired?" The old mama still understands the old princess.

"But no, this child didn't enjoy much happiness when he got married. He had to run around and take care of all these things. They separated just a few days after their wedding. I feel really sad for such a big thing."

"Ancestor, our princess is indeed an unusual woman, capable and sensible. At first, they said she was lucky to marry our young prince, but now it seems that our young prince is lucky to marry such a princess. Our little princess is really not qualified for the role of those noble ladies in the imperial city."

"You're right, we Yu'er are so lucky. We don't know what's going on at the border. If a fight does break out, we don't know what will happen. We have to talk to Yun Yan later, and we have to make some preparations."

The two old men were talking nonchalantly, and Luo Yunyan was alone in the study, quietly checking the account books. After reading a few books, his brows started to furrow.

"Somebody come!"

Qian Jiang was guarding outside the door and hurried in after hearing Luo Yunyan's words.

"Go and call Old Man Shen." Luo Yun ordered without raising the end of his cigarette.

"Yes!"

Old man Shen came quickly. Seeing Luo Yunyan reading the account book, he walked slowly and did not dare to disturb.

But Luo Yunyan still knew someone was coming, so she looked up and said, "Uncle Shen, sit down. I'll finish reading this book first." "Yes!"

Is there something wrong with the ledger? After such a short period of time, you must have seen the problem before you have seen much, right?

That's the big problem.

The study became quiet again, and Old Man Shen became a little restless. At this moment, Luo Yunyan finally finished reading the account book in his hand and spoke.

"Uncle Shen, I've been waiting for a long time. I just looked at three account books. There are several places in three different places. Come and take a look."

Sure enough, it has something to do with the ledgers. Are there problems with all three ledgers? With doubts in mind, Luo Yunyan stood up and hurried to the desk. Luo Yunyan discussed all the ledgers and showed the basic problematic areas to Old Man Shen.

Old Man Shen took a look and didn't see any problem. Then he realized something was wrong after Luo Yunyan pointed it out, and he suddenly became nervous, "How could this happen?"

"Yeah, I thought I was wrong at first. This discrepancy is too big. Uncle Shen, as far as I know, every place pays accounts to you once a year. Didn't you notice these problems before?"

Although these account books look fine on the surface, it is true that laymen cannot tell, but insiders, like Mr. Shen, will definitely be able to see some clues after looking at them several times. They may not be able to see thoroughly, but they will definitely be able to see them. Something was wrong, why didn't he notice it? It wasn't that she suspected Old Shen, otherwise she wouldn't have called him over to ask.

"Old slave, take a look again."

Old Man Shen looked solemn. Every year, the account books from various places came to him first. After he read them once and found no problems, he would make a general ledger and send it to the imperial city for his master to check. If there was something wrong with these account books, why didn't he find out at the time? Moreover, looking at it this way, the problems with these account books are not trivial.

Luo Yunyan was not in a hurry and pointed out the problematic areas in Liang Wai's two accounts so that Old Man Shen could check them.

After a closer look, Old Man Shen's face was very solemn.

He gently closed the ledger with both hands and looked at Luo Yunyan with guilt in his eyes.

"Princess, there are indeed problems with these account books, and the problems are quite big. I am ashamed of my master's trust and did not find these problems. I will go to them to find out more about the situation. I will definitely find out and give an explanation to the princess. "

Mr. Shen was still very responsible. He did not rush to defend himself. Instead, he admitted the problem with the account book, said he would check it immediately, and even gave an explanation.

There is something wrong with these account books, and naturally there needs to be an explanation.

"Don't worry, Old Man Shen. Now that you're here, let's take a look at the rest of the account books. We don't have to read them all. We can pick three accounts from each place and we can talk about it together after reading them. In this current situation, I think , there may be problems with accounts elsewhere.”

Old Uncle Shen shook his head, "It shouldn't be. For example, this, this Tengchong account, I remember it very clearly. It's not like this. The account book sent last year was not like this."

Old Man Shen felt that this matter was not about the account books, but about the accounts they sent this time. Isn't this a sign of bullying the master?
"What Mr. Shen means is that there is something wrong with the account book sent this time, but there was no problem with the previous one?" That makes sense.

Luo Yunyan's face was dark.

"Princess, please wait a moment."

After speaking, Old Man Shen hurriedly left without explaining much, and soon walked in with a thick account book in his arms.

"Princess, this is the general ledger. Every year after the accounts from various places come in, I will compile them and make a general ledger. Please see if these numbers match what is in the current ledger."

He can't make mistakes when copying. Even if he makes a mistake in one place, it won't be all wrong by coincidence, and it's generally impossible to make mistakes. Every time he finishes copying, he will check it again and again to confirm that it is correct before submitting it. .

"Let me see."

Luo Yunyan also felt that there was something strange about the problems with these accounts. When such accounts were delivered, was it true that she didn't know how to read the accounts for room and board or something?

They all work for the palace, so it's impossible for them to make mistakes like this when they greet each other for the first time.
