"What is the relationship between King Guangchang and his brother-in-law?" Wang Xian asked again.

"The relationship is very good, even better than with his brother-in-law." Long Yao replied.

"Hmm." Wang Xian nodded, indicating that he had nothing more to ask.

Long Yao got up to leave, and when he walked to the door, he turned around and begged: "My lord, you have to save him, otherwise he will be killed by those people."

"It's not that serious," Wang Xian said lightly: "If King Guangchang encounters danger, this official will naturally have the responsibility to shirk it." ”

"Thank you, sir." Long Yao was deeply blessed, and then retreated.

The next day, the prefect of He came to the mansion again, this time with three large wooden boxes, which were not gold and silver treasures, but full of account books. According to the agreed process, Wang Xian will take the inspection of the relevant account books as the first step in the formal handling of the case, which is the proper meaning of the question.

"All the accounts are here, do you need manpower?" After the errand officer put down the wooden box, Governor He said very kindly: "There are still a few account rooms available in the prefect's yamen, how about this official let them put down the work at hand to assist the errand?" ”

"Thank you for your kindness, but you don't have to." Wang Xian said lightly: "The lower officials are still within their means." ”

He Zhifu smiled secretly in his heart, this kid is really still a chick, even if you have a background in lifting people, but it is not the same thing as understanding complicated accounts, and even if these accounts are checked by the old account room, I am afraid that by the end of the year, I will not be able to figure out a clue. What's more, the two sides agreed that after three days, the account books would be returned to the yamen of the feudal department.

"Then I won't bother the adults, if you need help, let me know at any time, and I will send someone over at any time." He Zhifu said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord Futai, if necessary, I will definitely not be polite." Wang Xian sent him out of the city with a smile, closed the door and came back, looking at each other and smiling.

"I can't imagine that the adult is the ancestor of the accounting." Erhei laughed, how Wang Xian defeated Li Sihu back then, he still remembers it vividly.

"Hehe, this official is sparse, only this matter is passed." Wang Xian said with a smile: "Go to the abacus."

Although it is easy to say, the accounts of this province are far from being comparable to a county, Wang Xian did not dare to slack off at all, from the next moment, he and Erhei and others were locked in the house, not an inch out, and they started work without sleeping and eating......

Thunderbolt cheering like rain hitting plantains, Wang Xian's left hand quickly dialed on the abacus, and his right hand was holding a pen to make records. When he nodded, Erhei quickly turned a page, and when he had filled a piece of paper, Erhei took it to the adjacent table and set it up; After he finished checking one account book, Er Hei took another one, and at the same time took the original one to Mo Wen outside and copied it...... He Zhifu jīng was very good, but he forgot that Wang Xian could have copied the account book first and looked back slowly. It's just that Accountant Wang is anxious to understand the situation, so he is in such a hurry.

Seeing that Wang Xian was able to check an account for almost half an hour, Erhei had to admire this guy again deeply... When we were messing around on the street back then, why didn't you see that he was so powerful? Is it really a genius with a stick? He really had the urge to give himself a try, but he thought that most of them would not become a genius, but would most likely become an idiot, so he dispelled this idea.

Rao is a genius at auditing accounts, and it took three days and three nights to check all the accounts. With rabbit-like eyes, Wang Xian finished writing the last piece of paper, threw away the pen, and stood up.

"What's the conclusion, sir?" Erhei and Zhou Yong work in shifts, and they don't have to use their brains, of course, jīng's strength is as usual.

"Let me sleep first" Wang Xian didn't even have the strength to go back to the bedroom, so he went to the small bed in the study, and as soon as his head touched the pillow, he fell asleep.

It's good to be young, I slept a lot in the dark, and when I woke up, I was a good man again. Wang Xian rubbed his eyes and asked Erhei, "How many hours have I slept?" ”

"How many hours?" Erhei smiled bitterly: "The adult slept for a whole time. ”

"Oh." Wang Xian nodded and said, "The account books have been returned?" ”

"Went back." Erhei smiled: "Then the prefect of He doesn't believe that the adult can check it within three days, thinking that the adult is embarrassed to show up." ”

"Well, the accounts have been copied?" As soon as he got up, Wang Xian's head was still a little swollen, and he had indigestion from Erhei's jokes.

"It's all copied." Erhei smiled: "Lao Mo is a careful person, although he can't compare to adults, he should copy well." He said eagerly: "My lord, quickly interpret the results, you really can't understand those peach talismans you draw." ”

"If you don't understand it, it's right." Wang Xian yawned, touched his stomach like thunder and said, "Eat first, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers."

"The rice is coming" Before the words fell, Zhou Yong smiled and came in with a big tray, a bowl of hot ramen, a plate of cooked cut beef and mutton, accompanied by soy sauce and garlic, which made Wang Xian's index fingers move. The wind and clouds are like clouds, and the food is so clean that even the noodle soup is drunk.

Patting his bulging belly, Wang Xian burped comfortably and said, "Bring it." ”

"Here." Erhei hurriedly took the stack of paper he wrote, in order to avoid leaks, Wang Xian used pinyin and Arabic numerals, which basically no one could understand.

Wang Xian carefully read what he had written, pondered for a long time, and sighed.

Erhei's eyes widened, he had also worked hard for a long time, and he was caught by Wang Xian to satisfy his appetite, and he really wanted to know the answer.

Wang Xian sighed again.

"My lord, what are you sighing about?" Erhei couldn't help but ask.

"The first sigh is to sigh for you, and it feels uncomfortable to be blind." Wang Xian said with a narrow smile.

"The word of the adult ......" Erhei said depressedly: "There is no one in the Ming Dynasty who can understand it?" ”

"That's what I want." Wang Xian smiled, flicked the stack of papers, raised his eyebrows, and finally got to the point: "The second sigh is because the problem is so serious that it is beyond imagination. The grain and grass that arrived in Taiyuan before and after was 4.7 million stones, but now there are only 2.3 million stones that can be checked in the accounts."

"Huh?" Erhei was stunned: "Where did all that food go?" ”

"Three times it was sent to Xuanfu, and three times it was robbed in Guangling County, and each time it lost more than 700,000 stones." Wang Xian said in a deep voice: "With the loss of storage and transportation, there is only half of it left." ”

"Such a loss?" Erhei was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth and said, "Won't there be a cat here?" ”

"Absolutely." Wang Xian said categorically: "And there are big ones" Saying that, he coldly exposed the lies of the Jiangxi officials and said: "A carriage, excluding the weight of the car, the maximum load does not exceed 1,800 catties, even if all the carriages are of this specification, how many cars are needed to transport 700,000 stone grain and grass at a time?" ”

"Need ...... How much? Isn't this kind of division operation embarrassing, Erhei had to smack his lips and ask back

"More than 46,000 wagons," Wang Xian said in a deep voice: "Every time the people and oxen and wagons are dispatched, it is also well documented, and the livestock used for the three transports is less than the first. And even if it is the most time, the number of ox carts, horse carts, and mule carts combined, it is only 20,000 thousand, and even 350,000 stone cannot be transported. Could it be that there is a magic weapon like a Qiankun bag? ”

"Hey, how is that possible." Erhei scratched his head and said, "Sure enough, there is a problem." He said with a smile: "Even if they have a Qiankun bag, they can't explain that they don't have a long lesson丨 Knowing that there are bandits robbing the road in Guangling County, Lu Dao, and they have to send food to others every time, could it be that Shanxi officials...... What is the origin of Shen Logistics? "I've been messing with Wang Xian for a long time, and he even Shen! Logistics, all know the road, although I don't know where the road comes from.

As a result, even a heartless guy like him said indignantly: "Two million 100,000 stone of grain, just let them lose it."

"That's a good point." Wang Xian nodded and said, "But not only those grains, but also 60,000 head of livestock, countless armor and weapons, bows, arrows, guns and cannons."

"Now I finally know why Liu Zijin is so powerful, just let these people fatten." Erhei said angrily.

"I'm afraid these grain carts and horses were not swallowed by Liu Zijin himself." Wang Xian sneered: "The Shanxi Domain, Taiyuan Treasury, Pingyang Mansion, and Fenzhou Mansion, which have been in deficit for many years...... This year is a bumper harvest, basically filling the holes of previous years" This is the reason why Wang Xian wants to be inconsistent with the account books of the Zhejiang Domain, a basic principle of modern auditing, is to audit the accounts through longitudinal analysis of various joints and horizontal analysis of various departments.

"What's the hole to fill in?" Erhei was puzzled: "It's not your own loss." ”

"Usually it's not in their own way," Wang Xian said, "But next year is the year of external inspection, of course they have to think about their own black yarn."

"Blind, isn't this a common thing in the sixth room of the county government?" Erhei was stunned. In order to cope with the inspections, the scribes often borrowed money and grain from the local wealthy and returned them afterwards. After thinking about it, he said, "No, they are darker than us, we at least borrowed and repaid, but they swallowed it directly." ”

"Not bad." Wang Xian nodded and said: "Although it can't be seen on the books, but judging from the time of the change of money and grain, at least half of the money and grain were not transported to Datong at all, and they were directly distributed in Taiyuan."

"......" Erhei was already speechless in shock.

"What's even more terrifying is that," Wang Xian's face became more and more solemn: "They are so unscrupulous, they must have known the Tao early in the morning, and the grain will definitely not be transported to the Xuanfu, otherwise they will all lose their heads."

"It's difficult, is it ......" Erhei said with difficulty: "They made up their minds early in the morning, divided half of the money and grain, and then let Liu Zi come in and carry the black pot?" ”

"Of course, this black cauldron is not in vain, Liu Zijin has at least one-third of the materials, which is enough for him to develop and grow." Wang Xian nodded.

Erhei was stunned, he knew that Wang Xian's kung fu of reading the account book was unique in the world, but he didn't want him to see so many terrible problems from the accounts. This is an earthquake in the officialdom, oh no, it is to fall to the ground

Wang Xian's eyes gradually flashed with light, and he looked like he was thinking about breaking the formation!
