"Farewell!"

Merton bowed his hand to Yuan Shoucheng and said goodbye, walked to the side of Qin Huaiyu and the three people who were waiting, and mentioned that the courage of his heart was slightly relaxed, and it was not a fun thing to peek into the flaws of Taoism.

Merton didn't expect that just by saying one more word, Yuan Shoucheng saw the flaw, and had to throw calcium tablets as bait, which was able to calm the matter.

Fortunately, this time, it was not without gains, and the secret of alchemy alone was enough to repay Merton for his adventure this time.

"You can't be so reckless in the future!" Merton admonished himself in his heart.

Qin Huaiyu and the three of them were still immersed in being under the influence of Li Shimin, and they didn't notice Merton's abnormality at all, and the four of them hurried back to their respective homes with a heavy heart.

Mofu.

As soon as Merton arrived at Mofu on the front foot, Fu Bo came to report the arrival of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"Lord Dai!" Merton hurriedly stepped out to greet him. He didn't expect Dai Xuan to come so quickly.

"Hahaha, Master Mohou, don't talk politely, quickly send the account book of Mojia Village!" Dai Xuan's face was full of excitement, and he walked heavily, and he couldn't see the symptoms of the rumored physical failure at all.

Dai Zhou can be said to be extremely happy in his heart, the spring drought almost said that the treasury of the imperial court was emptied, and this time the emperor was fortunate to be in the palace that was a large amount of expenses, but at this time it was the busy season of the field, and the field tax had not yet been collected. It can be said that the Ministry of Civil Affairs is in an era of lack of success.

At this time, the emperor suddenly sent a message saying that the Marquis of Mo gave up the privilege of the title and voluntarily paid taxes, you must know that the Mo family has made a lot of money during this period of time, and the tax to be paid is not a small number.

"Lord Dai, please come in, the account books have already been counted." Merton hurriedly invited Dai Zhou into the front hall, stretched out his hand, and Xu Jie held a large stack of account books in front of Dai Guan.

"Come on, carefully check the account books of Mofu, and count the taxes payable in Mojia Village, if you are missing a penny, you will be asked!" Dai Xuan shouted and couldn't wait

Suddenly, more than a dozen account offices of the Ministry of Civil Affairs entered the living room with calculation chips in hand, set up the case on the spot, and checked the account books of Mojia Village on the spot, while Xu Jie stayed aside, and if there was any problem, he was responsible for explaining to the account office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"Lord Mohou is selfless and dedicated to the country, he is really a model in the world, and the old man will definitely play in the court to show you for your merits." Dai Zhou listened to the huge numbers and couldn't help but feel relieved.

As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, ordinary people who don't regard money as their lives, and can't wait to extort, let alone take the initiative to pay taxes.

"The adult has won the award, and the kid is deeply favored by the emperor, so he will naturally know that he will repay the favor, and it is a natural thing to do business and pay taxes, and he can't afford to be praised by adults." Merton's positive color channel.

"It's a matter of course, if the businessmen of Datang are like you, then why worry about Datang's dissipation." Dai Xuan said with emotion that he, as the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Tang Dynasty, can be said to be the top figure in the economic field of the Tang Dynasty, and naturally knows how profitable businessmen are, and there are many businessmen who are attached to the power of the Tang Dynasty to evade commercial taxes, or do everything possible to evade taxes and evade taxes. This is the reason for the low commercial tax of Datang.

Counting the account books is a very long work, but Dai Xuan did not dislike the boring at all, rejected Merton's invitation to sit in the side hall for a while, and listened to the sound of the account room abacus tapping with a smile, Merton had no choice but to make tea and accompany him.

"Mo Hou Ye don't want to laugh, in the old man's opinion, there is no more beautiful sound of chipping at this time." Dai Xuan said, in his opinion, the calculation of the fund, all represent the money into the pocket, the Tang Dynasty has just been founded, it can be said that there are a hundred wastes to be rebuilt, there are too many places that need money, all of this depends on Dai Zhou is struggling to support, and a penny is eager to be broken in half to spend.

"How dare you, how dare you, what Lord Dai thinks, the kid is also in agreement, in the kid's opinion, there is no more wonderful knowledge than arithmetic at this time." Merton said the same.

"The old man forgot, Master Mo is also an arithmetic master." The Ministry of Civil Affairs is the department that uses arithmetic the most, and Dai Zhou is also a master of arithmetic, so he naturally knows the usefulness of arithmetic, and Merton is famous for arithmetic in Chang'an.

An old man and a young man immediately found a topic, and they talked about it with great interest in the living room.

After a long time, the voice of the calculation stopped, and the two reluctantly stopped.

"Mo Houye's compound interest calculation method is really an eye-opener for the old man." Dai Zhou said with emotion.

"Dai's economic way is also an eye-opener for the younger generation." Merton also admired, even according to the point of view of Merton's later generations, Dai Xuan is also a well-deserved economic master.

The two immediately sympathized with each other, like confidants in life.

"My lord, the tax has been counted!" The account office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs headed by a middle-aged man, waited until the two complimented each other, and then bowed down.

"So fast?" Dai Xuan looked at the thick stacks of account books on the table, and said in surprise, if it would normally take a long time, he was in a hurry, but he specially prepared ten account rooms, according to the lowest estimate, it would take at least two hours, and it would be completed in a little more than half an hour.

"Lord Qiyu, Lord Mohou is indeed a master of arithmetic, Mojia Village adopts a new method of bookkeeping, all bookkeeping is clear at a glance, and Xiaguan and others only need to check the numbers." The middle-aged account room at the head said with a wry smile, not only was it sorted out, but the accounts of Mojia Village were unusually clean, according to his years of experience in auditing accounts, this was indeed the most authentic account book, and there was no tax evasion at all.

"A new way of bookkeeping?" Dai Xuan looked up in astonishment.

The middle-aged account clerk handed over an account book, handed it to Dai Guan's hand and said, "Your Excellency will know it at a glance." ”

Dai Xuan stretched out his hand to take it, and kept flipping through it in his hand, and the more he looked at his face, the more excited he became.

"Lord Mo is really talented in the world, and the simple word loan in such bookkeeping solves the problems of countless accounts in the world." Dai Xuan said excitedly.

"The adult has won the prize, and the boy feels that no matter what the account books of the world do, all he asks for is a balance of loans, and there must be loans and loans, and loans must be equal. Therefore, on this basis, this new method of bookkeeping was created. Merton said.

"Master Mohou, the old man has a reluctant request, can this law be passed to the Tang Dynasty." A hint of flushing appeared on Dai Xuan's face, and he said excitedly.

"Lord Dai is polite, this is a good law, the Mo family naturally has no reason to hide their secrets, it is not a secret, in the printing office of Mojia Village, there have long been account books printed with new bookkeeping methods for sale, but the time is short, and it has not spread." Merton nodded.

Dai Xuan nodded, turned to the middle-aged bookkeeper and said: "After going back, the Ministry of Civil Affairs immediately purchased a new type of account book, and since then, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has adopted this new method of bookkeeping." ”

"Yes!" The middle-aged bookkeeper nodded in response.

They have seen the effects of this new method of bookkeeping, and if the Ministry of Civil Affairs adopts this method, their work will be greatly reduced.
