Now while it is certain that there is something wrong with the ledger, what exactly is wrong with it”
Sideburns grey old accountant, after calming down and raised a question, just now the method although can see the fake accounts, but exactly where to make a fake, but still can not be known.
After the old bookkeeper with the hairy sideburns raised this question, everyone focused their eyes on Zhu Pingan, after what happened just now, these bookkeepers had already recognised Zhu Pingan’s ability. Therefore, at this time, they again placed their hopeful eyes on Zhu Pingan.
Of course Zhu Pingan did not let them down.
“Naturally, this method can identify fake accounts, but it cannot identify uneven inflows or outflows, but I happen to have a method here as well.”
Zhu Pingan said, found a blank piece of rice paper from a table, then picked up another brush and dipped it into the ink, sinking his wrist and spending a form on the rice paper, the modern common double-entry bookkeeping form.
These checked books bookkeeping method for three-legged accounts, in the final analysis, or the category of single-form bookkeeping method, far less than the modern double-form bookkeeping method. Compared with the modern principle of double-entry bookkeeping, the gap between the “three-legged account” is still quite large, and the shortcomings are also quite prominent. The “three-legged account” lacks the basic conditions necessary for scientific double-entry bookkeeping, and it has neither the scientific organisation of the construction of the books of accounts and the classification of accounting items, nor a more scientific method of calculating profit and loss and the method of accounting report. As long as the transfer of non-cash transactions do not have problems, other aspects can not be taken into account, which is the “three-legged account” the basic guiding ideology of the record keeper, there is a great one-sidedness of this idea. The “three-legged account” intertwines single-type accounting records with double-type accounting records, which makes it easy for errors to occur in the registration of accounts. Not only is it difficult to find out what has gone wrong, but it is also time-consuming and costly to find out what has gone wrong.
Therefore, in order to accurately investigate and deal with the problems of these accounts, it is only necessary to reorganise them in accordance with the modern double-entry accounting method, and then it will be clear at a glance.
These accountants were also the prima donnas of ancient accounting, and after looking at this double-entry bookkeeping form given by Zhu Ping An for a while, they could see the mystery in it.
“Wonderful.”
“Wonderful, I dare to assert that this method of bookkeeping will certainly flourish.”
“The same account is recorded twice in two interrelated accounts. This is wonderful, so that we can understand the ins and outs of each economic operation, and have a comprehensive understanding of the process and results of economic activities.”
“Wonderful, this method of bookkeeping makes it easy to perform a trial balance of the results recorded in the accounts. to check the correctness of the account records.”
After looking at it for a while, these bookkeepers couldn’t help but clap their hands in admiration.
Happy to see the hunt, these accountants then drew out a large number of forms one by one according to the forms given by Zhu Ping An, and asked Zhu Ping An slightly about a few critical points. Then, as if they had been revived, they did not stop for a moment to register the account books of the initial year one by one using this form.
Occasionally, when they were unsure of something, they asked Zhu Ping An for advice, and their attitude was completely different from the beginning.
“Quickly, notify the back kitchen to prepare meals, prepare the best dishes, regardless of the cost.” Big Cai Zhu Li’s face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly urged his subordinates to have the back kitchen prepare good wine and good dishes.
“Young Prince Zhu is truly young and talented.” Grand Caisseur Li was a lot more enthusiastic towards Zhu Pingan, as if he was an elder, waving his big hand, “Stay. Be sure to stay and taste the craftsmanship of my family’s back kitchen.”
Seeing this, the belaboured girl rolled a big blank stare towards her own old man.
The bun maid, Painted Child, had a small red face and didn’t know what to be excited about.
Seeing this, Zhu Pingan also knew that he would not be able to return home at noon, so he arched his hand and dragged Li Dazhou to have his subordinates send a message to his home, lest his parents at home worry.
“Hmph, less complacent!”
The belly girl glared at Zhu Pingan, and her cherry mouth sent out a silent word towards him.
Although Zhu Pingan couldn’t read lips, but looking at the ventriloquist maiden Li Shu’s virtue of arrogantly rolling her eyes, she knew that it wouldn’t be any good words.
Really. He and this girl definitely do not get along, she is not happy with him, and he has never looked at her favourably either!
The accountants were working feverishly, not at all like they had been working overtime for three days. Even the old accountant with grey hair was as if he was twenty years younger at the moment, and even Zhu Ping An was somewhat ashamed to be inferior to him in terms of his vigour, enthusiasm and energy.
The accountants are working feverishly, Zhu Pingan also can not be idle, from time to time by the accountants to ask for advice, had to move between the three tables of accountants.
There were more than ten accountants. Together with Zhu Pingan, they were busy and did not stop for a moment. Zhu Pingan also only according to the counting method of the Ming Dynasty, did not reveal the Arabic numerals and modern calculation methods, after all, this is too shocking, bookkeeping method is just innovative on the basis of the original, but also can be said to be the past. Modern figures and calculation methods are simply open to the sky, explaining the past.
Therefore, Zhu Pingan also followed the counting methods of the Great Ming to hitch a ride. As for the abacus, Zhu Pingan was still unable to play, but this also made the accountants feel normal, smiling and comforting saying that practice makes perfect, little Zhu Gongzi need not be in a hurry and so on.
The steaming hot food had been served for a long time, but these accountants didn’t have the intention of stopping, even when Big Cai Bao Li asked his subordinates to invite him twice, these accountants didn’t have the intention of stopping either.
When the food got cold, Grand Caisseur Li waved his hand again and asked his subordinates to take it to the back kitchen to reheat it.
“Hahahaha found this one thousand two hundred and thirty two five hundred and forty four cents and four percent zero outflow greatly problematic”
“I also found a place, Wang Xiao Er received 7,449 taels, 5 coins, 3.3% and 2% of salt silver, it doesn’t match.”
“I’ve found two more.”
“Something’s wrong, something’s wrong here.”
The accountants have discovered the loopholes in the ledger, each with dark circles under their eyes but as excited as a cat that has seen something fishy.
Li Da Zaobao heard the words then flinging all the fat meat, excitedly stride to come, step on the floor are banging.
“Good, good, Old Wang Old Wang, write it down, write it down!” Li Da Zaobao’s face was full of red, angry and excited, waving his fat hand to let Wang Accountant record down the problems that appeared in this year’s account book one by one.
Old Wang?
Zhu Pingan sniffed with an odd face and looked at Wang Accountant several times provoking Li Shu, the belly girl, to look towards Zhu Pingan several times inquisitively.
At this time, the meal had already been warmed up twice.
These accountants still refused to give up and wanted to continue checking the account books for the remaining years, but at this time there was a clear “coo~~” coming from them.
All the bookkeepers followed the sound and looked.
“Oh, I’m ashamed, there’s already a protest in my belly” Zhu Pingan explained with a frank smile, calm and collected, without a trace of embarrassment.
The accountants couldn’t help but laugh along with him, definitely not the kind of ridicule at the beginning, but a good-natured laugh.
“It is we who are not close to the heart, heh heh heh, have a meal and have a meal, it is not too late to check after that.” The accountant with grey sideburns smiled kindly and proposed a meal.
The old bookkeeper’s proposal to have a meal was unanimously approved.
