Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

"Master really wants to be an accountant?" Xiaodie was surprised.

"It's already agreed, three taels of silver a month. Why, don't you agree?"

"No, it's a good thing." The look on the little girl's face changed from surprise to surprise: "Three taels of silver, this is the treatment only available to the accountants of big companies. I will say that my young master is amazing. No, I won Once you get the first name in the county test, someone will come and hire you."

"Didn't you want me to study with peace of mind and get a job?" Seeing that Xiaodie was very happy, Su Mu was also happy.As a man, it is natural to support a family.Is there anything more fulfilling than making your woman well fed, clothed and decent?

Hearing Su Mu's question, Xiaodie said sternly: "Although I said at the beginning that I want the young master to study hard so that he can stand out from the crowd. But there are many scholars in this world, and there are not many who can obtain fame or even be an official. Scholars also mostly live in churches."

Su Mu deeply thought that Xiaodie's words had reached his heart.

Xiaodie was a little worried again: "Master, you used to be very sick, but now you're recovering. You haven't done anything outside, and you don't know how to behave. I'm worried..."

She was worried about Su Mu's lack of social experience and that he would suffer a disadvantage outside.But they don't know that the current Su Mu is possessed by an old ghost, and he came out of a place like a university where top people gather.As soon as he was thrown into the group of relatively simple ancients, he was the only one who calculated others.

On the second day, Su Mu got up early in the morning, after washing and grooming, he went out with his hands behind his back, asked the direction of the Hu family's warehouse, and walked over in a graceful manner.

Hu Baihu's warehouse is located at Shuiximen Wharf. Ancient cities were built along water, and the idea is the convenience of water transportation.

The wharf in Baoding Old City is the most prosperous place in the prefecture, a small wharf with more than a dozen businesses gathered in various places.The scale of Hu's firm is not small, but among them it is just below average.

Looking at the signboard of the warehouse, Su Mu was a little nervous.

In the past, he was kept in school after graduating from graduate school because of his excellent university grades, and he never participated in job fairs at all.Speaking of which, it was the first time for a bride to get on a sedan chair for an interview today.

Shaking his head, he tried his best to put the tension behind him, and walked in calmly.

There were quite a few boys carrying goods inside, many of them were wearing tattered military uniforms, and among them were two military men, one tall and one short.

Su Mu wondered in his heart, why did this soldier become a buddy?

After thinking about it, I immediately understood that the ancient military households were all attached to the officials, both as subordinates and tenants.

Seeing that Su Mu was neatly dressed, a waiter came up to greet him, cupped his hands and asked, "Is the guest officer here to handle the goods?"

The two soldiers also found Su Mu, and hurriedly said: "It's the accountant Mr. Baihu newly hired, the master said, as soon as he arrives, he will meet him immediately."

"Oh, so it's Su Mu!" The guy immediately relaxed, and said casually, "Go in, we've been waiting for you for a long time."

After speaking, he covered his mouth and secretly laughed.

Not only him, but the other guys in the warehouse also had strange expressions on their faces.

Su Mu was even more puzzled, why are these guys so strange.

Hu's house was originally a rather large yard, and it looked like there were at least six or seven yards, large and small, with the front shop and the back yard.

Through the lobby, you come to the patio behind.The patio is surrounded by three rows of houses, which are estimated to be tents and warehouses.

Behind it should be Hu Baihu's residence, and there was a burst of reading from inside.The voices were high and low, and some of them seemed very immature, probably young boys: "Since you are honest, you call it sex. Since you are sincere, you call it education. Sincerity makes you clear..." It is very different from the voices of the market outside. uncoordinated.

Su Mu yelled secretly: But I forgot, didn't Shao Tai come here to teach in the library, I was here to be the accountant, if I was knocked down by this old master, wouldn't I be taught a lesson by him, it's bitter!

A burly man was standing at the door of the tent, and in front of the man was a gray-haired old man in his fifties: "Master's accounts from last month have not been checked yet, and the exchange of money and accounts is too cumbersome... I hope you will forgive me." ...Ah, my lord, here comes a new ... man."

Su Mu knew that this burly man was Hu Baihu, so he hurriedly cupped his hands: "Su Mu pays homage to Master Baihu."

A loud voice sounded: "Don't be so polite, I don't pay attention to these, raise your head and let me see."

Su Mu was shocked by the sound and his ears buzzed. He was startled and looked up.The guy in front of him is tall and has long arms, at least 1.8 meters ten.

This Hu Baihu is probably in his early forties, he is worthy of being a soldier, he is still so fit despite his age.His facial features are also quite correct, and he will be a handsome uncle in future generations.

Thinking of his thin body again, Su Mu felt envious and jealous.

Su Mu was observing Hu Baihu, and Hu Baihu seemed to be watching him carefully.

The two of you just look at me and I look at you for a long time.

"You are Su Mu, the one from the big house of the Su family. You just won the first place in the county test. You don't look like an idiot!"

"Su Mu lost his father the year before last, and he was so sad that he couldn't help it. When others saw me, they said I was stupid, but it was just spreading rumors." Su Mu hated people calling him a fool, and immediately pushed back.

"You will know if you are stupid or not, but it is not so easy to be the accountant of my Hu family. Let me ask you, our store just bought [-] catties of rice, at three Wen per catty. We also bought six catties of millet, The purchase price is two renminbi. If the rice is sold for four renminbi and the millet is sold for three renminbi, how much money will you make in total?"

"Twenty coins for profit." Su Mu just wanted to roll his eyes, is this Hu Baihu's assessment of himself?The most basic four arithmetic operations are only at the level of the second grade of elementary school. It is not too serious to use it in the job fair of accountants.

"Okay." Hu Baihu asked another arithmetic problem similar to chickens and ducks in the same cage.

Now Su Mu was finally a little annoyed: What's going on, asking such a simple question to examine me, isn't it obviously mocking me as a fool?

He didn't know that this kind of topic was actually very troublesome for the ancients without modern mathematical formulas.

"Well, it's not bad." Hu Baihu finally shouted again: "Yesterday, grandpa played money with a few bastards under his command and won ten taels of silver. Among them, there are [-] taels for [-]% of the money, and [-] taels for [-]% of the money. How much did I win in total?"

Folding color refers to the silver content. Because of the limitation of refining technology, or someone deliberately faked it, the silver content in silver these years is different.After the government collects taxes, most of them will be refined again and cast into large silver ingots of 50 taels.Among them, there will be fire loss and many losses.And most of this part of the loss has to be paid to the common people. For example, the tax of one tael of silver will be charged by [-]% or [-]% more when it is actually collected.

Because of this, local officials spend a lot of money on fire and earn a lot of gray income every year.Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty saw that there were too many false heads, so he promulgated a decree to return the waste to the public.A loss standard has been approved for the local area.

Hu Baihu came up with another simple arithmetic problem. To be honest, anyone who has memorized the nine-nine multiplication table can easily solve this problem.

Su Mu was even more annoyed, and replied angrily: "100 taels."

"100 taels, how do you calculate...you really are a fool!" Hu Baihu's eyes widened.

Su Mu snorted: "Since it's your subordinates who are gambling, it's disrespectful to you if you dare to use mottled silver in front of you. You should immediately draw your knife and put it on their necks, and order to hand over the silver." Come out and make amends. At that time, let alone 100 taels, even if there is more, you can grab it."

Hu Baihu was stunned, and it took a long time before he burst out laughing: "You boy...haha, it's really interesting to talk, it suits my appetite, yes, our soldiers have this kind of temperament, one is not pleasing to the eye, Fuck you with a knife. I will accept you as an accountant, and I will work here from now on."

While laughing, he pointed to the room behind him.

Su Mu also smiled, and cupped his hands: "Thank you, Master Baihu."

"My name is Hu Shun, Hu Shun who talks nonsense, Shun who goes with his heart." After speaking, Hu Baihu turned and left.
