Chapter 41 Packaging and Abacus

"Since you have already thought about it, I won't ask more, the Wang family will go with you then, but you have to think about it, after all, you are the nominal eldest son of the second room of the Zhen family, no matter what you do, there will be a lot of shock to the Zhen family, especially the Xing family attaches great importance to money, and there will inevitably be a conflict with the Xing family, if this matter angers the Zhen family, it will be worth the loss!"

How could Zhen Qian not know the joints in this, the more wealthy and big families value their reputation, and the matter of separating the family can be big or small.

Splitting is not a big deal for a big family, but it also depends on what the situation is, and there are generally two situations of splitting. The first kind of concubine is unwilling to be oppressed by the eldest son, and chooses to develop outside, and the second is that the man in the family sets up another door after becoming an official and making a fortune, but no matter which one of them, there is no reason for the eldest son to leave the house, which is the custom and family rules inherited by the clan, which can be regarded as a precedent for the eldest son to divide the family.

And Zhen Qian is now the eldest son, he should have stayed at home to inherit the family business, but now he wants to split the family, what will the other families think, the Zhen family will not dare to risk the world and drive out the eldest son who has no fault from the house.

Wang Qun reminded: "Da Lang, don't say the idea of splitting up your family first, once it spreads to everyone, it will not be good for you in the future!" ”

"Then Uncle Wang thinks this thing can be done?"

Wang Qun said with a look of embarrassment: "It's hard to say, after all, there is no precedent for this matter, now fortunately, you also have a younger brother who is a sister-in-law, if you really want to split the family, you must make a fuss about 'humility', so that the reputation of the Zhen family will be better, and the strength of the obstruction will not be great!" ”

Zhen Qian was happy in his heart, there was an old man in the family, and Wang Qun's words also gave him an extra choice, although it was a beautiful excuse, but it was better than no excuse.

"Thank you Uncle Wang for the reminder! I'll be careful with this! ”

"It's good to know!" Wang Qun kindly reminded: "If you want to catch the handle of the criminal housekeeper, it's best not to reveal any rumors, and don't let the Xing clan be aware of the idea that you want to split the family, the Xing clan is not a reasonable person, but everyone has the heart to protect the calf, so they will be hostile to you, if you want her to agree with the matter of separating the family, you must grasp the psychology of the criminal calf protector, so that she will agree with the idea that you want to split the family, and will not obstruct it!" ”

To be honest, being told by Wang Qun like this, Zhen Qian found that there were a lot of flaws in his original plan, especially when he didn't think of the Zhen family's face problem, in case things were stiffened by himself, did he really want to leave the house?

It's still a trivial matter to leave the house, and it's a big deal to flee the north and hide in the south, after all, the war of the Anshi Rebellion in history did not burn to the south. The problem is that going out of the house is not good for your reputation, if you want to do something, it is not enough to rely on your own ability, pulling the tiger skin and erecting a banner can achieve twice the result with half the effort, and your reputation is stinky, who dares to do business with yourself, and it will be really difficult to move forward.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhen Qian was afraid of cold sweat behind him for a while, people in this era regard reputation as more important than life, it is not unreasonable, his original idea was a little reckless, but fortunately he didn't have time to implement it.

Zhen Qian thought of this and told him about his plan to lure the snake out of the hole, and asked Wang Qun's opinion: "Uncle Wang, what do you think of this plan?" ”

Wang Qun said frankly: "I don't know if this plan will work, but the process is grasped in the slightest, the criminal steward is a greedy and lustful person, it is inevitable that he will not show his feet for a long time, you use the matter of the criminal steward to force the criminal family to comply, in the final analysis, it is still a decision, but this is also a helpless thing, if the criminal family can understand right from wrong, it will not be so stiff with your relationship, speaking of which, there is still not enough communication between you, even if you show your scheming now, the criminal family may not believe it, On the contrary, they will think that you have taken away the property of her children, and I just hope that this matter will not cause a storm in the city, and you just need to grasp the size carefully! ”

With Wang Qun's approval, Zhen Qian also put his mind at ease, at least these parts of the Wang family are the same heart as himself, and he doesn't have to fight alone, thinking of this, his heart can't help but be stuffed with something .......

Now is not the time to say those words of gratitude, the people on a boat will see each other when they say this, but Wang Qun did not take the opportunity to make any requests, which made Zhen Qian feel a little unhappy.

Since he thought of the wine bottle in Zuixianlou, Zhen Qian immediately found that there were still some deficiencies in some of the things he did in the early stage, and immediately thought of making a beautiful package for the nuts he brought back.

The net has been cast, and whether or not he can catch the big fish of the criminal steward is also a matter between the two, and it is useless for Zhen Qian to be anxious.

Seeing that the opening time of Zuixian Building was getting closer and closer, Zhen Qian's itinerary was becoming more and more busy, often leaving early and returning late, which attracted the attention of the Xing family, and sent people to ask twice, but Zhen Qian temporarily blocked it with the reason of visiting friends on a study tour.

On this day, the group came to the small courtyard outside the city, in the courtyard Song Yi was holding a wooden board in his hand and carving attentively, when he heard the door of the courtyard, the carving knife in his hand shook, leaving a mark on the wooden board, and the results of this morning were in vain.

"Uncle Song, this engraving is like this, as long as there is a failure in carving, all the work will be lost!" Zhen Qian sat down in front of Song Yi with a big grin and said, "Have you carved the things I sent a few days ago?" ”

Song Yi casually threw the waste board in his hand to the corner of the wall, there were many such waste boards in the corner, which could only be burned as firewood, "Zhen Lang, wait a minute, I'll go get it!" Song Yi turned around and walked into the room, and after a while, he took out a stack of papers and put them in front of Zhen Qian, "A total of more than 200 sheets have been printed, Zhen Lang will see if it is suitable?" ”

Zhen Qian took the thick stack of hundreds of pieces of paper, and looked at them one by one and said, "Yes, the lines on it are clear and distinct, Uncle Song didn't pay much attention?" ”

Song Yi showed a strange smile on his face, and said with a little smugness: "It took a lot of time to carve in Yang script before, and it was difficult to carve out the lines horizontally and vertically, but later I changed to Yin engraving, which can barely meet Zhen Lang's requirements, so I don't know what role Zhen Lang has in printing these lines on paper?" ”

"This is the new type of bookkeeping that I came up with?"

In order to prevent others from tampering with the digital accounting records to achieve the purpose of embezzlement and theft of state assets, a set of accounting digital characters was widely used in the accounting records of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the traditional Chinese digital characters, which was a major improvement in the accounting methods of the Tang Dynasty.

When recording, all the accounts are in the order of the time of occurrence, one occurrence, one record, arranged vertically from right to left, with a strong sense of time and the characteristics of prominent focus, from the perspective of development has been very advanced.

It's a pity that now I have met a historical cheater, or a financial master who has often dealt with finance, so naturally I will not continue to use the single-entry accounting method of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhen Qian directly moved the loan bookkeeping method of later generations to the Tang Dynasty, and the two little girls in the family also adapted to the new bookkeeping method under their own "oppression", and at the same time began to practice the abacus, which has become the fifth great invention.

Of course, the abacus can not be regarded as Zhen Qian's invention, as early as the Zhou Dynasty, there was the earliest "pottery pill" used for calculation, and the Han Dynasty appeared "abacus", as for the history of the abacus, there is no way to verify, but the abacus in the sense of the real later generations appeared in the late Song Dynasty, called "fifteen abacus", but the formula of the abacus appeared many years later.

The reason why Song Yi showed a strange expression on his face was entirely because of the result of his granddaughter's "crackling" calculation in front of Song Yi after he came back.

In these years, it is not common for women to become Mr. Accounts, although it is not as good as the Ming and Qing dynasties, when women can not go out of the door, the second door is not stepping, but Confucianism has become the mainstream in the Tang Dynasty, and there are many complaints about women's appearance, but after all, in the Tang Dynasty, except for a few strong women, the status of women is not too low, and it is very common for women to do business and widows to remarry, but they also have to risk being judged by others.

Song Yi If it weren't for being sold into slavery because of official affairs, his granddaughter would probably have married a long time ago, and when he thought that his granddaughter would be almost eighteen this year, and it was almost the same as the leftover daughter in later generations, Song Yi was anxious, thinking that Zhen Qian would bring his granddaughter back to Zhen's house and be a little maid or something, but he didn't expect Zhen Qian to let his granddaughter learn the tent, and he didn't have a bottom in his heart.

"A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, don't listen to such nonsense", Zhen Qian's mouth shocked Song Yi, and before Song Yi could react, he heard again: "If a woman doesn't understand anything, she will be bullied if she marries a man in the future, and Uncle Song will not want his granddaughter to have a bumpy fate in the future!" ”

Song Yi wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but when he thought of his identity now, it was hard to say anything even if Zhen Qian sold his granddaughter, and now let his granddaughter help manage Zhen Qian's money, wouldn't it be the best result?

"I'm old, please take care of my two grandsons and granddaughters more in the future, I'm tired and happy!"

Zhen Qian didn't expect Song Yi to say such a thing, and he was also extremely surprised, and hurriedly comforted: "What are you talking about, Uncle Song, I left your two grandchildren by my side because I wanted to teach them something, and I was ready to let them go when I had the opportunity in the future, so that your family could live a more comfortable life, don't say anything about it in the future!" ”

"Let go of the good!" Song Yi muttered in his mouth, since he became a slave, he didn't dream of this matter for a day, but once he was a slave for life, how could the master's family easily let go of good things, but these words came from Zhen Qian's mouth, even if it was painting cakes to satisfy hunger, Song Yi saw hope, "Zhen Lang is really ready to release my two grandchildren in the future?" ”

"It's not just your two grandchildren, it's not impossible for your whole family to be good, you don't have to doubt it, as long as you help me do things with peace of mind now, my promise will definitely be fulfilled!"
