Dragon fights in Tang Dynasty

There were not many people in the Ganlu Hall, except for some eunuchs who were ordering around, only the old nine, Li Zhi, stood aside with an excited face, and his eyes were shining with eager light.Although Li Zhen was a little surprised why Lao Jiu appeared here, she didn't think too much about it. She walked quickly to the dragon table and saluted respectfully: "I have seen my father."

Li Shimin seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile all over his face, he raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, Zhen'er, I called you here today to learn from a teacher, well, it's been a long time, hurry up My son, I will do it for you and Ji Nu (Li Zhi's nickname), um, Ji Nu is young and weak, as an elder brother, you should be more considerate."

What?Together with the pheasant slave to apprentice?Did you make a mistake?Pity our master who took so much effort to worship, Xiaojiu got on the ride so easily, shit, no wonder the ceremony of apprenticeship dragged on for so long, I dare say that's what our old man came up with, Thinking about haggling with Li and Qin for a while, this is a buy one and get one free. Could it be that the old man is a salesman for later generations?Li Zhen was very depressed, but in front of her old man, she didn't dare to complain. Not only did she dare not complain, but she had to pretend to be happy, so that the boredom in her heart would not be so uncomfortable.

What to do?Cold salad, the old man is talking, how can it be Li Zhen's turn to talk, there is no choice but to accompany Li Zhen with a smile: "Yes, I obey, I will take good care of the ninth brother."

"That's good. You have been stable since you were young. I can trust you. You and the pheasant slave are about the same age. You should get closer. Go ahead and wait for the brothers to have a good chat. You can learn from me tomorrow morning." Li Shimin was very excited. Satisfied with Li Zhen's attitude, she waved her hand with a smile.

Well, the old man issued an order to evict guests, and if he didn't leave, it would be a while before Li Zhen knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, and exited the Ganlu Hall, full of displeasure, and was about to slip out of the palace and go to his own workshop to relax. Unexpectedly, Li Zhi, who came out from behind, rushed to catch up and shouted timidly: "Brother, wait for me."

Hey, this little bastard, all good things can happen to me, bastard, let's not talk about the apprenticeship right now, I will also pick it up when I become the emperor in the future, eh, the emperor?Damn it!This guy is the next emperor, yes, that can't be neglected.Li Zhen suddenly remembered that the guy in front of him might be the next emperor, and with a sudden change in his mind, he quickly put away all his unhappiness, put on a smiling face and said, "Ninth brother, is there something wrong?"

Li Zhen didn't get along with her brothers very much since she was a child, and even though she became famous later on, it didn't change much. To put it nicely, it's called prudence, but to put it bluntly, it's lonely, but well Well, child prodigy, even if you are a little arrogant, you can forgive me, can't you?But Li Zhisheng is timid, and has always been afraid of greeting people. If it weren't for his apprenticeship today, he would not have the courage to approach Li Zhen. He was worried that Li Zhen would look at him, but when he saw Li Zhen had an amiable smile on his face, but he was a little at a loss, and his words were out of tune, God knows what he was talking about.

Ha, this kid is really a fucking trash, no wonder he was eaten to death by Wu Meiniang later on, hey, damn it, this kid is the worst kid among all the brothers, but he can't stand him, luck is good, the emperor can mess with him Come on, God really has no eyes.Li Zhen looked at Li Zhi, who was half a head shorter than her, with great interest, and there was some sourness in her eyes, but she didn't bring it to her face, but smiled and said: "Ninth brother, brother is planning to Go outside the palace for a walk, do you want to go differently?"

"Really? That's great!" Li Zhi jumped up suddenly, almost startling Li Zhen, but before Li Zhen came back to his senses, Li Zhi flinched again, and said with a sad face: "Brother , my younger brother wants to go, but I am afraid that the emperor will not agree, if...if..."

Depend on!It's really a product that mud can't support the wall, this coward is as timid as sesame seeds, dizzy!Listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Zhen was really a little angry-according to the Tang system, underage princes had to ask for an order when they left the palace, but no one had ever strictly complied with it. At that time in the palace, whoever went out for a stroll if they wanted to, the old man never cared about it, and of course Li Zhen herself was the same, but when it was Li Zhi's turn, things became more complicated.Li Zhen is really too lazy to take this guy out, but after thinking about it, if he offends Li Zhi right now, the future will be hard, won't he?I had no choice but to smile and said: "Pheasant slave, my brother is going to see if the tables and chairs customized for the father are ready. How did you explain it?"

"Yeah." Li Zhike nodded vigorously and said, "Success, starling, wait a minute, my little brother calls for the sedan chair." As soon as the words fell, he turned around and wanted to run back, so frightened that Li Zhengang hurriedly grabbed the little one, Just kidding, Li Zhi lives with Empress Changsun, if he is asked to go back to the Chengqing Palace and make such a noise, nothing will happen, no one else, although the old man never forbids the princes to leave the palace privately, but it is open-ended after all. One eye, one eye closed, it's not expressly stipulated, the rules in the palace still have to be said, right?If the commotion broke out, who else would suffer besides Li Zhen?

"Pheasant slave, don't bother. My brother's sedan chair is wide enough for the two of us to sit on. After going here and there, it will probably be noon. There may not be time to win, so let's go." Li Zhen smiled and pulled Li Zhi's hand, patted his thin shoulder, and said angrily.Li Zhi hesitated for a while, but still nodded obediently, and followed Li Zhen excitedly, and the two brothers walked towards Min'an Palace talking and laughing...

"Yanji Craftsman Workshop" is located in the Xiama Mausoleum outside the south gate of Chang'an City. It is said that the place is the tomb of Dong Zhongshu, a great scholar of a generation. The reason why Li Zhen chose the workshop here was not because she had any respect for the former sages, but because it was the place where the dignitaries in Chang'an City were most concentrated. Most of the important officials of the Tang Dynasty lived near here. In addition to making it convenient for distinguished guests to come and buy, more importantly, it is convenient for Li Zhen to come here for guidance after studying. For this reason, Li Zhen also specially asked Yan Ming to buy a small garden nearby for lunch break. use.

The "Yanji Craftsman Workshop" covering an area of ​​nearly [-] mu is very noisy. The storefront at the entrance of the workshop is full of bargaining sounds, mixed with the sound of knocking and sawing wood from the workshop. , Li Zhen often comes here, and has long been used to it, but Li Zhi, who came here for the first time, was very curious, staring round eyes, looking around, eyes full of surprise, just walked to the door of the accounting room, Li Zhi was attracted by the exquisite carved furniture in the workshop, and wished to go to see what happened, but he didn't dare to say it directly, and looked at Li Zhen pitifully.

Hey, this kid is really real! Li Zhen could see what was going on in Li Zhi's mind at a glance, and she was secretly amused. Go to Haosheng to visit the workshop, if King Jin likes something, just take it, and write it down in my king's account later."

Yan Qi is a distant relative of the Yan family, considered to be Concubine Yan's younger cousin, not too old, but very mature, and has always been one of Yan Ming's business leaders, he can see his face Li Zhen's skills are very clever, and she understood that Li Zhen was planning to win Li Zhi over, she immediately responded respectfully "Yes." Then she walked up to Li Zhi and said, "His Royal Highness, please." Li Zhizao At this time, when Li Zhen agreed to let him walk around, he jumped up immediately, and didn't care whether Yan Qi followed, he yelled happily, and ran into the factory, scaring him. Yan Qi hurriedly chased after him.

***, others are walking horses and dogs, but we are much more advanced, we are walking the emperor!Thinking of the fact that she would have to wear this little tail for a long time to come, Li Zhen couldn't help but smiled wryly to herself, then turned and walked into the accountant's room.

"Hanwang Highness, all the account books of the capital account are here, please have a look." Seeing Li Zhen leading the people in, Yan Qin, the head accountant, hurriedly stood up, pointing to the thick pile of books on the table. Folding the ledger, said respectfully.

Although the "Yanji Craftsman Workshop" has been officially put into operation for less than three months, the preparation period has started since the beginning of the year, and it has been nine months now. Li Zhen has never cared about posting accounts The purpose of the matter is firstly that the loyalty to the Yan family can be trusted, and secondly, because it has not yet been officially operated, the issue of the accounts is simply irrelevant, but now that the business is booming, Li Zhen has no choice but to take care of it. It's not that he has doubts about the Yan family, but his own business must be well known, right?Therefore, a few days ago, someone came to say hello and said that the accounts were to be checked. Now that the accounts have been collected, Li Zhen was not polite. She nodded, walked to the table and sat down, not looking at the accounts for now. , smiled and said: "Master Yan, has the thing that the king told me to order last time been finished?"

"If you go back to the prince, the things will be ready early in the morning." Yan Qin responded respectfully and waved his hand. A cashier came forward with a large plate covered with a red cloth in his hand, and gently moved the plate. placed on the table.Li Zhen smiled slightly, reached out and lifted the red cloth on top, revealing an abacus.

Hey, not bad!Li Zhen proudly flicked her hands for a while, and typed the abacus quickly, feeling very excited--in the previous life, Li Zhen's mother was a well-known abacus master in the banking system, and under her precepts and deeds, Li Zhen grew up. Zhenke is a master of abacus calculations, and won many abacus competitions in the city. It was only later that calculators and computers gradually emerged, and abacus was completely eliminated from people's daily life. Li Zhen didn't play with it anymore. Seeing the abacus, a sense of intimacy surged in Li Zhen's heart, and she was so excited for a while that she almost shed tears.

"My lord, what is this..." Yan Qin looked at Li Zhen's playfulness, and asked with some doubts.

I do not understand?Ha, this is our secret weapon.Li Zhen chuckled and said: "I'll talk about it later, I want to look at the accounts first." Li Zhen turned over the book with a smile, and just looked at it, and was immediately dumbfounded—— — Li Zhen is very familiar with the accountant stuff, not to mention that he learned it when he was studying in graduate school in his previous life. I was stunned to see that I was a little confused: let’s not mention that the account books are all in Chinese capital letters, without a single Arabic numeral, and that the records in this account book are all running accounts, and the incoming and outgoing items are all mixed together. The additions, additions, and subtractions in the account book are all messed up, like a bible.

"My lord, are you alright?" Yan Qin looked at Li Zhen with dull eyes, and asked with concern.

fine?It's good to be fine!Li Zhen was full of dissatisfaction in her eyes, but after thinking about it, this era has neither professional accounting nor standard bookkeeping methods, nor even an abacus. It is not the fault of these people in front of this account book that it is like this, and they cannot be blamed.Li Zhen smiled wryly, but didn't speak. She flipped through the account book with her left hand, and dialed the abacus with her right hand. This time it was the turn of the accountants to be dumbfounded—but seeing Li Zhen's left and right hands flying together, the abacus crackled. There was a noise, and occasionally stopped to mark the account books with a vermilion pen, and each account book was quickly thrown aside, but within the time of two sticks of incense, the thick stack of account books had already been passed by Li Zhen.

"There is an error in the account. Three items of input and two items of output are missing. I have already marked the omissions in the account book. If you don't believe Yan's general ledger, you might as well check the calculation." clapping hands.

The seven or eight accountants in the accountant have worked as accountants for most of their lives. Although they were surprised by Li Zhen's fast payment method, it was not easy for them to be convinced. It is natural for them not to believe. The husband immediately started to review the order. Thanks to the large number of people, it took a lot of effort, and finally came to a result - it was indeed a wrong account. All the accountants in the room looked at each other, which was quite embarrassing.

"Your Highness is so wise, the little ones are amazed." After a long silence, Yan Qin said with admiration: "My lord, can this algorithm... ah, can you teach the little ones?"

Naturally, we have to teach. How about we come up with an abacus to do something, no matter what, these people are helping us make money, right?But how to teach is a big problem, ***, this matter is really tricky.Li Zhen wants to teach these accountants everything she knows. Abacus calculation is nothing more than that. There are ready-made abacus formulas, so it is no problem for the big guys to practice by themselves. Accounting is not that simple, let’s not talk about the complexity of the whole system, Li Zhen has to spend a few years to teach these people, even if Li Zhen has the time, but once it spreads, how can she tell her old man Explaining the origin of this accounting rule can't be said to have been learned in the previous life, that would be too ridiculous, wouldn't it?

Hey there!Li Zhen frowned and thought for a while, then said with a smile: "If you all sincerely want to learn, this king can accomplish one or two."

Well, just after Li Zhen finished speaking, everyone in the room knelt down and kowtowed, which made Li Zhen stunned for a moment before she came to her senses—this is an excellent way of making a living. If they can learn it, even if this group of people leaves the Yan family in the future, they will not have to worry about having a place to go. Li Zhen is here to give them a golden job.

"Get up, my king here has some formulas and key points of accounting. You can practice by yourself. If there is something you don't understand, you can ask me together when I come next time." Facing the worship of everyone, Li Zhenxin couldn't help feeling a little complacent. She laughed and waved her hands, motioning everyone to get up, then picked up a pen, wrote down the abacus formula on a blank piece of paper, and simplified the accounting method of later generations , use Arabic numerals to represent Chinese capital letters, and at the same time register the journal separately as input account and output account. As for the method of debit and credit, Li Zhen only stated how to register the account, and the rest, such as how to calculate the asset-liability ratio, etc. Deep theoretical knowledge is not mentioned at all, after all, those things are too difficult for the people of the time, even so, this simplified version still amazed the gang of accountants who kept accounts all their lives. The fart slapped loudly, and Li Zhen was secretly intoxicated when he heard it.

"Brother, look." Before Li Zhen was intoxicated enough, the sweaty Li Zhi rushed in, his little hands full of "trophies", all of which were small wooden carvings. Li Zhen was stunned to see such small things as Yan Qi with an embarrassed face, carrying a pile of carved chair backs and carved chair legs. The principle of operation is that the entire workshop is divided into several workshops, each of which produces different parts, and finally they are assembled and painted together. Therefore, there are so many gadgets. Li Zhi has been wandering around for so long and got so many odd gadgets. It is not surprising.

Haha, this little bastard, what are you doing, such a broken thing is regarded as a treasure.Li Zhen looked at Li Zhi angrily and amusedly, but she didn't have the nerve to dampen his excitement, so she just smiled and said: "Pheasant slave, it's getting late, it's time to go back, I have to go to school tomorrow Alright, my brother gave you a set of tables and chairs, you choose it yourself, how about sending it to the palace today?"

"Really? Oh, that's great! I want the set with carved orchids." Li Zhi had been wandering around the factory for a long time, and he was already fascinated by those carved tables and chairs, but he was too embarrassed to say it out. When Shi heard that Li Zhen was going to give him a set of tables and chairs, he immediately cried out overjoyed, forgot to even say thank you, turned around and ran into the workshop.

Hey, this brat is really good at picking, damn it, it's a big loss!Li Zhen looked at Li Zhi's back, and cursed secretly——that set of tables and chairs carved with orchids is the best, the wood is made of high-quality golden nanmu, and the orchids are all bordered with gold threads. It costs fifty or sixty pennies. Who made Li Zhen want to win over the future emperor, and now he has to suffer from the immediate loss, right?
