Chapter 50: Audit

Of course, Gao Shun will never be arrogant.

In terms of physical training, the lord is stronger than himself.

But when it comes to formation, the lord is far inferior to himself.

After watching Lu Bu's training methods, Gao Shun also got a lot of inspiration and gradually integrated Lu Bu's training methods into his own training.

In just over ten days, Gao Shun gathered a total of more than 300 people and began to train.

……

On the side of Taibai Restaurant, a month has passed, and it is time for Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Lu Bu to settle their profits.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao invited Lu Bu to the private room on the third floor of the Taibai Restaurant, and handed Lu Bu a bag of gold and silver with a smile.

Lu Bu counted it and found that there were only one hundred taels of silver in it.

Well, originally, a hundred taels of silver is actually not too little.

Enough for a family of three for half a year or even a year.

But in the Taibai Restaurant, where the business is so hot, his monthly dividend is only a mere 100 taels of silver?

Lu Bu glanced at Cao Cao and Yuan Shao meaningfully, only to see that Cao Cao's face was as usual, while Yuan Shao's face was full of guilt.

Lu Bu smiled slightly, knowing very well in his heart that these two guys had discussed how to trap themselves.

But do you really have such a good pit?

Lu Bu looked at Cao Cao and couldn't help asking, "Brother Meng De, is there only so much profit in a month for Taibai Liquor?" ”

Hearing Lu Bu's dissatisfaction with the dividends, Cao Cao couldn't help but pour bitter water and said: "Fengxian, this is already a lot!" You think, the price of your divine oil is so high, and the ingredients we use are all top-quality ingredients, including the felt on the outside, which is worth a lot of money! This is too white, it's true that you look at the booming business, but the pure profit is really not as high as you imagined! ”

Lu Bu looked at Cao Cao with a smile and asked, "Really?" ”

Cao Cao was a little hairy by Lu Bu, but soon said: "If you don't believe it, I'll ask someone to bring this month's account book, and you better reconcile it yourself!" ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao waved his hand, and someone took a thick account book.

This account was made by the two account rooms sent by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, both of which were old account rooms, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao didn't believe that Lu Bu could see the cat on the account book.

Those two bookkeepers are standing outside the door now, and if there is anything wrong, they are always on call.

After Lu Bu took the account book, he asked for two blank pieces of paper and pen and ink, and quickly listed a table.

Then, against the ledger, the numbers are recorded on the table one by one.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao took a look at the side and found that the numbers recorded by Lu Bu were crooked, like ghost drawings, and decisively said that they couldn't understand them.

The two glanced at each other, and couldn't help but pout, both of them felt that Lu Bu was pretending.

After watching it for a while, they still couldn't understand it, and the two felt so bored that they couldn't help but go outside to ask for wine and food, and they started to eat.

……

What Lu Bu used was double-entry bookkeeping.

Double-entry bookkeeping is used to check the accounts, and all the tricks and omissions are clear at a glance, and they can't be hidden at all.

Of course, in modern times, there may be various ways to deal with it.

But at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it would ...... Well, it's just bullying.

A month's worth of accounts, if calculated using the old-fashioned bookkeeping method, is a very large undertaking.

Don't even think about it in a day.

But Lu Bu now uses double-entry accounting, and the numbers are replaced by Arabic numerals.

The calculation method is more advanced, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division can be calculated directly with a pen.

Therefore, it only took less than two hours, that is, most of the morning, for Lu Bu to calculate the accounts clearly.

Lu Bu got up and moved his muscles, smiled slightly, and couldn't help but invite Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in.

"Two brothers, the accounts have been calculated, it seems that the level of the accounts you invited is not very good!"

"The account records are chaotic, full of errors and omissions, and this is also bold, greedy for a huge amount of silver, so if you count it, it is our three brothers who work for them!"

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao glanced at each other, and they couldn't figure out what the part-time job meant.

But listening to Feng Xian's words, could he have calculated the accounts in such a short period of time?

Both of them were a little weak in their hearts.

Yuan Shao couldn't help asking: "Feng Xian, I don't know how much silver taels should we make according to the amount you calculated?" ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "According to my calculations, this month's profit should be 187,320 taels, and the younger brother should get 62,470 taels of silver." ”

After listening to Lu Bu's words, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo, co-authored Feng Xian put this bragging, just now I really thought he had calculated it, which scared the baby!

In fact, the two of them had already learned the real amount from the account office, and the profit for this month was a total of 168,000 taels, which was not as much as Feng Xian said.

From this point of view, this Feng Xian was simply cheating them just now.

Cao Cao couldn't help but smile and said, "Since there is such a big difference between the number calculated by Feng Xian and the number calculated by the account room, it is better to call the two account rooms in to verify it together!" ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "That's very good." ”

As soon as he spoke, Cao Cao asked two bookkeepers to come in.

Cao Cao said to the two bookkeepers: "Feng Xian doesn't believe the number you calculated, not to say that this month's profit is 17,320 taels, two gentlemen, it is better to check with Feng Xian on the spot!" ”

Listening to Cao Cao's words, the two bookkeepers couldn't help but be taken aback, glanced at each other, and saw an inexplicable look of horror in each other's eyes.

"This ...... Yes, sir! ”

These two bookkeepers were really nervous, because the amount Cao Cao just said was the real profit.

The amount they reported to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was actually a false account, and they concealed nearly 20,000 taels of silver in it, which they shared equally in private.

They think the accounts are seamless, but how did the three owners calculate it? How is this possible?

For a while, the foreheads of the two bookkeepers couldn't help but sweat finely.

Lu Bu looked at the two bookkeepers with a smile and said: "Don't be nervous, two gentlemen, maybe Feng Xian miscalculated, I don't know, by the way, two gentlemen, I didn't understand this account, do you think this account is wrong?" ”

Soon, Lu Bu drew out the miscalculated accounts and asked the two bookkeepers for advice.

There was more and more sweat on the foreheads of the two of them, but fortunately, the mistakes that Lu Bu pointed out were all the places where they made false accounts and deliberately concealed Lu Bu.
