"Uh, Brother Keng, what do you mean by this?" Duan Xigui scratched his head with some distress, "The booklet you wrote, plus what you taught me orally, I basically understand what it means, but to be honest, if you want me to teach others again, firstly, I really don't have much time, and secondly, I am still confused and half-irrigated, so I ......"

Feng Ziying ignored the other party's complaints, this is the first time in the world, how can it be so easy? If it's really simple, hasn't this thing been popular for a long time?

"Cousin, I know it's not easy, but to tell you the truth, is this method I taught you simpler and easier to do than your original bookkeeping method, and easier to see the accounts in and out of your livelihood?" Feng Ziying waved his hand to interrupt the other party's words, he didn't need the other party to say anything he thought, this kind of thing that has been tested by history only needs me to think about it.

Duan Xigui pondered for a while, and nodded slowly, he couldn't speak against his will, and this was easy to verify, but ......

"Brother Cong, but the Xue family, this bookkeeping legal person, doesn't recognize it, the number of entries and exits, people can't understand it, your twisted symbol, uh, I heard that some people have seen it on the docks in Songjiang Mansion and the south of the country that deal with Fanren, but the problem is that we haven't been in contact, I only figured out what Arabic numerals are called from you, and it took several days to figure out the number swap with us,......

Duan Xigui grimaced.

This master really doesn't feel a backache when he stands and talks, he doesn't care about these specific details, but he wants to let himself come, then he must first be proficient in himself, and a group of people must slowly learn, and then use each other, so that he can slowly form a habit, which he knows too well since he was twelve years old to follow the bookkeeper in business.

Both the big and small Duan clans were confused by the conversation between Duan Xigui and Feng Ziying, and they didn't know what the two of them were talking about.

"Ziying, what are you talking about with San Lang, what are you still hiding from us?" Duan's face was not good.

"Mother, it's nothing, my cousin and I are just thinking about a bookkeeping method that can more accurately and accurately show the situation of our income in and out, the current bookkeeping method is too rough and simple, and many things can't be seen."

Feng Ziying didn't explain much, this was not the end of the explanation, he just needed to tell his mother that he was not hiding anything from the other party.

"Cousin, this thing has to be continued, you must also feel the benefits of this accounting method and the calculation method of Arabic numerals, abacus must have its advantages, but when recording and reviewing, it is very troublesome, and the calculation with this kind of number will be quite simple and convenient as long as you understand the formula table and column calculation formula,......"

Duan Xigui can make Feng Ziying nod, and being selected by the big and small Duan clans is undoubtedly outstanding in all aspects.

Feng Ziying spent half a day teaching him, and at the same time handed him a pamphlet written by herself, just to let him be this crab eater.

Arabic numerals, their addition, subtraction, multiplication and division formulas and formulas are not particularly new, and they have begun to spread from the West to the coastal areas of China in the mid-to-late 16th century, but due to China's traditional habit of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce and adhering to traditional characteristics, Arabic numerals and calculation methods have not been able to take root in China.

It was not until the end of the 19th century that it was reintroduced, and it was not until the middle of the 20th century that it was really implemented.

Double-entry bookkeeping is similar, at the end of the fifteenth century, Venice had the latest double-entry bookkeeping, and began to be popular in Europe, after more than a hundred years, during which China was not without dealings with Western merchants, but subconsciously resisted all this, and China's own Longmen bookkeeping had to wait until thirty or forty years later before it began to appear in the Shanxi merchants.

It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that there would be no real capitalist business model without double-entry bookkeeping, but there is no doubt that double-entry bookkeeping has greatly promoted the clarity and simplification of the business bookkeeping model, so that more people can get involved in business and no longer be afraid of it.

However, in this life, Feng Ziying intends to change this.

Seeing the other party's undoubted look in Feng Ziying's eyes, Duan Xigui nodded: "According to what you said, Brother Keng, I selected three eleven or twelve-year-old children from poor families among the Feng children in Linqing, and asked people to find a teacher to teach them simple literacy first, and then this Arabic numerals and calculation formula are only here myself, Brother Keng, you have given me a problem, and I am still lighting candles at night to ponder carefully,......"

"Cousin, I believe you can see the benefits of this kind of numbers and calculations, and the benefits of the new bookkeeping method You should know better, those children don't have to learn how many words, daily words, there are hundreds of estimates, one or two years is more than enough, and then you can teach them this way of calculation and bookkeeping, they will be the helpers prepared for you in the future, well, if it's not enough, you can also find a few more on the Duan family's side and learn together,......"

In the end, this proposal made Duan Xigui's heart move, and he subconsciously glanced at the eldest aunt and the little aunt who were sitting on the upper hand and their faces were not so good-looking, and they were obviously a little moved when they heard this.

This cousin's ability to figure out people's minds is really powerful enough, no wonder his two aunts were fooled by him and obeyed, and now he still has such a novel ability, which can't be compared, he is still honest and good as this big housekeeper.

"San Lang, the poor children of the Feng family in Linqing can help if they can't get by, but aren't there many kids in our Duan family who can't afford to eat? You can also bring the letter back and send a few honest people, you have also worked hard, and it can be regarded as helping our Duan family feed a few more people. ”

The eldest aunt spoke, and the cousin was expressionless, Duan Xigui of course could only nod his head again and again.

The Duan family's hometown is in Datong, and Aunt Xie is a fellow villager.

This is also one of the reasons why Feng Tang is willing to be an official in Datong.

The Duan family is also a big family in Datong, with deep roots, and Feng Ziying's mother is also the daughter of the Duan family, so there will be a little Duan family to come over as a wife.

By the time the group finished speaking, it was already dinner time.

The mother's family is here, and they are not outsiders, so they naturally want to keep the meal, Duan Xigui wants to accompany the two aunts to eat, but Feng Ziying went back to her yard to eat.

However, before leaving, Feng Ziying still left a message for his cousin, and he still had to talk to Duan Xigui in the past few days, and if he had any questions he didn't understand, he could ask him at any time.

In addition, he wanted to ask about Zuo Liangyu and Wang Pei'an.

According to his arrangement, these two people should have entered the academy to study by now, but he didn't know what the effect would be.

There is no need for these things to be in front of his mother and aunt, he believes that with Duan Xigui's shrewdness, he will naturally not go to his mother and aunt to chew these tongue roots.

Now that he has come to this time and space, Feng Ziying still plans to do something beneficial to the country and the people, well, within the scope of his ability, on the premise of not affecting his basic survival goals, he will do his best to do something.

For example, the introduction and promotion of Arabic numerals and calculation methods, such as the introduction of double-entry bookkeeping to promote the improvement of the commercial bookkeeping model, he felt that there was no harm in it, and it was completely possible to do it, and it did not take too much effort, and it could be handed over to others to do it on a pilot basis.

Judging from the current situation, Duan Xigui is still very receptive, and basically accepts some of the things he has instilled in him.

Of course, it is impossible for you to say how proficient you are, there is a process to this, but the other party does not resist, but is just worried that others will not accept it, which shows that he himself still recognizes the convenience and effectiveness of this set of things, which is a good start.

Start with your own business, and then cultivate a group of business talents who are accustomed to this way of mathematics and bookkeeping, well, let's call it business talents, and then use them to slowly influence the people around them.

When his influence and control are stronger in the future, he can also play a role in education and learning, so that many industrial and business models and science and technology sprouts that have been backward since the late Ming Dynasty in their previous lives can follow a new path.

It's a pity that I'm a liberal arts dog, and I really don't know much about science and engineering, and this double-entry accounting method was also occasionally aroused when I was studying political economy, but a superficial understanding of the basic principles is enough.

If you want to say that you can recall the most important scientific principles of the modern Age of Discovery, such as the three-masted sailing ship or the spinnaker, and whether you understand the front-loading gun and the ballistic principle, or the open-hearth converter steelmaking, uh, I'm sorry, he really can't, he doesn't understand at all, he's not proficient in this.

But he firmly believes that the real thing that can change the world is not only scientists, but also politicians, or politicians who are going in the right direction, and he tries to achieve this.

Professional people, do professional things.

Professional politicians, professional politicians, then you can do the things of discovering scientists, training scientists, and even developing a set of industrial and commercial models suitable for scientists, inventors and more competitive to promote the progress and development of this society, this is what should be done.

If anyone wants to stand in the way of this road, obstruct and delay social development for various reasons, as a professional, then he should use professional political means and political skills to solve it.

Feng Ziying felt that she was getting familiar with and adapting to this society, and at the same time, she was slowly integrating some of the professional skills she had in her previous life into this society, well, overall, the effect was good.

And he also believes that as his understanding of this society deepens, he is adapting to this society, the world is also changing himself, and at the same time, he can better change this society.
