Chapter 32 County magistrate's audit

"Whoever controls money is the God of Wealth." Lu Haoshan said with a smile.

"Isn't the one who manages money the only one who is the household house officer? That Zhou Dayuan Zhou official?"

Lu Haoshan nodded and said, "That's right, it's him. The household registration, land tax, finance, taxation, marriage, and the finance of a county. It can be said that he is rich. Zhou Dayuan, the current household secretary, is Chen Gui's die-hard confidant. Chen Gui has done almost all of his work in the past years. He is the confidant in his confidant. If Cao Hu is subdued, Chen Gui will lose one leg. If Zhou Dayuan can be taken down, then Chen Gui will lose one hand and not one hand or one foot. Let's see what he is fighting with me."

Speaking of the back, Lu Haoshan clenched his fists.

"Brother Shan" Liu Jinzhu said with some embarrassment: "I have paid attention to Zhou Dayuan early in the morning. This person has no special hobbies. He has never been late for Dianmao. He never leaves early, nor asks for leave. He goes home as soon as he leaves. Although he has been a God of Wealth who has been a household house for many years, he still lives in the old house where the mistress enters, guards a ragged wife, and even a concubine. He rarely attends banquets. He always feels that it is not like a normal person and it is difficult to start."

Lu Haoshan said in surprise: "Oh, there is still this matter?"

"Yes, this is the first time I have seen such a person. If I hadn't known him, no one would have believed him as Jiang You's God of Wealth."

"This person is not simple." Lu Haoshan nodded and said.

In Lu Haoshan's memory, there are several kinds of people that are hard to forget. For example, the soldiers from Danyang, the troops from Shaoxing, the shopkeepers of Shanxi, and especially the accounting houses in Shanxi impressed Lu Haoshan the most. Shanxi's land was poor, which forced many people to go out to make a living when they grew up, so the name of Shanxi merchants was launched very early. In the later stage, for the sake of safety and transaction convenience, many people launched bank accounts, which was equivalent to early banks. This bank account had the function of deposit and loans and collection in other places, and the profit was very high. Many people rushed to imitate, but none of them did well and lasted. One of the big factors was the shopkeepers of the bank account.

It is said that training a qualified shopkeeper is from childhood. Observation and training them into old-fashioned, harsh, professional, rules-abiding and even a little undesirable. Because the silver account is doing business with gold and silver, and the amount of money you spend every day is countless. Once you are greedy, the consequences will be unimaginable. Those shopkeepers in Shanxi do not enter the small door or go out of the main door, and work diligently every day, fearing that there is any mistake. There is a short story that can be reflected in the boss's bank account. When he saw the man working hard and his business was booming, the book was clean, and he was very satisfied. Before going out, he suddenly saw the shopkeeper's wife wearing a flowery clothes and turned around and fryed the shopkeeper. When someone asked why, the boss said calmly: The shopkeeper is fine, but there is a restless woman around him, and he is afraid that one day the rules will be broken.

Zhou Da was originally a clerk in Jiangyou's household and Chen Gui's confidant. Although he was not a good person, the county government did not say bad things. He was like a person who could go up and know how to stand and handle the worldly affairs well. He was so restrained and low-key, and his ambition would definitely not be small. Lu Haoshan had to re-examine this person.

"Brother Shan, how can we put a trap for him?" Liu Jinzhu was full of confidence and prepared to go out again after successfully conquering Cao Hu.

If you take down a house, it would be like a mouse falling into the rice jar and waiting to die. In Liu Jinzhu's eyes, he worked so hard to make a fortune and slipped away. When he heard that Lu Haoshan finally attacked the house, he became excited.

Lu Haoshan thought for a moment and shook his head: "A man like him will not be fooled easily. According to my usual observation of him, Zhou Dayuan has a blind confidence in himself. If he wants to completely knock him down and take it as an application, it seems that he will defeat his confidence and convince him. In this way, he can use it for me, and his confidence comes from his proficiency in accounting."

At the beginning, in order to make things difficult for Lu Haoshan, Chen Gui ordered people to increase the workload for Lu Haoshan. One of them was to check the accounts. Zhou Dayuan, the official of the housekeeper of the house, was the most active and brought a lot of books in one go. Lu Haoshan's ten days of work were not in vain. Although he had not found any specific problems, he also found a lot of suspicious points. This was due to Lu Haoshan who had a beautiful accountant in his previous life. At that time, he really put in a lot of effort, including learning some basic accounting knowledge. After he got it, he accidentally heard her talk about some of the skills. Although Zhou Dayuan could do it perfectly, Haoshan still saw through his skills.

Zhou Dayuan used the method of dispersing accounts. Others used a lot of accounts to put a few fake accounts in a lot of accounts, which was convenient and fast. However, Zhou Dayuan's account splits up one account and spreads it into other accounts, which is nothing more than tampering with expenses. In this way, the accounts are not conspicuous. When he did it, he deliberately added some useless accounts and transferred the accounts a few more times, making a lot more complicated. Even if others checked, they would take time and effort.

However, for example, such fraudulent methods, there are usually two books, one for one for one’s own people to read and the other for the superior to check the accounts, so it is also called the Yin-Yang Account Book.

Others may not be able to find out, but in Lu Haoshan's eyes, Zhou Dayuan's approach is just a trick. If he finds the right way and knows his way of doing the accounting, he will naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort when he checks it.

"If Brother Shan takes action, he will naturally be able to capture it." Liu Jinzhu now felt inexplicable admiration for Lu Haoshan, and immediately responded when he heard this, but instead said curiously: "Just get him away, why should I conquer him?"

"Do you think there are people around me? Send you there?"

"No, no, Brother Shan, you know that I don't even know a basket of Jinzhu's big characters. Please spare me." Liu Jinzhu still knew how much he was, and shook his head after hearing this.

"Okay, let's see you have this little chance. Let's go back and have a good rest. We will fight against this Zhou Sili tomorrow."

Liu Jinzhu said helplessly: "Sometimes I think it's better to be a rich man. If you eat the rice of the Zhu family, you really make a cow and a horse for him."

"It's true that you are a cow and a horse." Lu Haoshan thought for a while, nodded seriously, and expressed his agreement.

The Han Dynasty had a five-day break system, which means a five-day break. It is not a Saturday or Sunday, but a day off. It is a day off. There is also a name called "Xiaomu", on this day, officials can go home; during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was changed to a ten-day break, called "Xunxu", which seems to be much worse than the Han Dynasty. In fact, it is not like this. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the concept of today's Golden Week was already in place. They rested for seven days every New Year, and the Winter Solstice. These seven days are paid holidays, such as Dragon Boat Festival, Double Ninth Festival, the emperor's birthday, the birth of a son, and even the Buddha's birthday,

You can have a holiday on your birthday, so you will definitely have a high salary and good salary. In the Song Dynasty, it was a normal rule, and there were still dozens of days a year. The Yuan Dynasty was a little different, and there were only more than ten days a year. However, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were miserable. Zhu Chongba (Yuanzhang) was born to have hatred for officials. Not only was his salary scary, but he was not favored even on holidays. If you eat the Zhu family's rice, then you should work hard. Want to have a holiday? It's only three days a year, which is the New Year, the Winter Solstice and his own birthday. At other times, I'm sorry, the salary is small, but you have to work hard.

Although it is the sixth day of the Chinese New Year and the New Year atmosphere has not yet passed, I still have to continue on duty.

Speeched all night, the next day, after the yamen lined up, Lu Haoshan called Zhou Dayuan.

"Sir, I wonder what instructions do you have to let the young man stay?" Zhou Dayuan asked respectfully.

Lu Haoshan smiled and said, "Haha, nothing, I have been litigating recently, and I am bored. It just so happens to check the account book to relieve my boredom."

"But sir, few people check the accounts at this time. Besides, sir fell ill when he checked the accounts last time. Is this a little slowing down?" Zhou Dayuan said hesitantly.

"If you know, ask?" Lu Haoshan said embarrassedly: "The court has an order to check the accounts more to ensure integrity and integrity. Not only will the superiors send people to inspect, but the incumbents should not relax. Now the workload is not large. If the Chinese New Year is over, there will be commercial taxes and summer grains, then will it be exhausted? I am not afraid of Zhou Sili's jokes. The most feared by this account is the most, and I will be dizzy every time."

Oh, so that's how it is. Zhou Dayuan was relieved. He thought that the county magistrate Lu had noticed something. He dared to say that this was the case. He smiled in his heart when he heard this. The county magistrate didn't just have a headache, but he was simply a disease when he checked the accounts. He also had a headache when he looked at his account books. What about an inexperienced scholar?

After figuring it out, Zhou Dayuan hurriedly said, "Yes, the adults want the account book for that month, and the villain will send it to you immediately."

"Well, it's the last two years."

"Two years?" Zhou Dayuan was shocked and said quickly: "Sir, that's too much."

Lu Haoshan waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't advise me. I will work harder to set an example for the county government. Don't worry, I will return it to you in three to five days, so let's do it."

"Yes, sir, sir, go and do it right away."

"Go."

"The villain took his leave."

When Zhou Dayuan left, he had a smile on his face. In fact, he was laughing secretly in his heart, laughing at County Magistrate Lu for being so popular. If he pointed out which period of account to check, he would be afraid. Maybe he had already obtained some information, but it would take two years to make a book of accounts at once, and it would be clear that it would be able to return it in three to five days. The expenses of a county in two years are not even one master. Not to mention that Lu Haoshan doesn’t even have one master, but it will take one or two months to complete it. There is only one person now, what can he do in a few days?

It's just a formality and just act like a show.

Zhou Dayuan's work efficiency was pretty good. In less than half an hour, several books and offices brought a lot of information to Lu Haoshan. Not long after, the copywriting was piled up. After Lu Haoshan closed the door, he spread the paper while carrying a pen and said, "It's really a pity that there is no master, it's painful."
