014 Even if it is very simple, it is still wrong
()
After a short time of communication beside the fire, Chen Xiansong and Bai Min joined the "Life is a Dream" mercenary group where Aslan is located. It has to be said that the name of this group sounds very literary, but in the words of new humans, it is a very "natural person" style. Moreover, such a name is not something that a big man like Aslan can think of. Chen Xiansong asked curiously, and the answer he got was that when each mercenary group was established, it was reported by the Soul Thinker Association in the big city. Soul Thinker will be responsible for helping naming. If you are in a good mood, you will just give it a name. If you are in a bad mood, you will just give it a name and cannot be changed.
"When our mercenary group was first established, the soul-thinking person in charge of naming was about to get married. He was happy to give us the name of the group." Aslan laughed complacently and said, "This name is good. No matter where you go, when others hear the name of our mercenary group, they give us a thumbs up and say it is very artistic and contains profound philosophy."
This word is very philosophical, but when used in a mercenary group, it tastes a bit strange. Chen Xiansong thought that the name of the Dongfang Bubai Mercenary Group, Dugu Qiubai Mercenary Group, and Long Aotian Mercenary Group are much better than the Life-Ru Meng Mercenary Group. But he could only complain in his heart. After all, this is someone else's mercenary group. He is now an employee who has just come to work, so he is not qualified to say anything.
To celebrate Chen Xiansong and Bai Min's joining the group, Aslan ordered a bonfire welcome party. There was nothing special about it. It was to take out some of the treasured jerky meat and roast it for a while. Everyone divided it into a small piece, chatting while eating, and having fun. It was a very happy thing for the mercenaries to have extra meat to eat.
As for the welcome party, it is inevitable that there will be a little noisy. The director of the business group who had been resting nearby was woken up. He put on a thick cotton coat and walked out of the carriage. Along the way, the life-like dream mercenary group was very perfect in the night guards, and he was very satisfied, but it was still two days away from the destination. Isn’t it too early to celebrate now?
The director's name is Akara, and he is a fat man. By the way, most successful businessmen are fat man.
Fatty Akara is a successful businessman. He has seen many noble women who are replaced by noble women, but he has never seen a woman with skin that is so good. Even in the dark, he can see that the girl sitting next to the fire and wearing a ragged clothes is definitely the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in decades of living.
No wonder the mercenary group was having a party! Akara sat down next to Aslan, who handed a small piece of jerky meat. He took it, put it in his mouth and chewed it for a while before asking in a low voice: "Captain Aslan, where did you find it back from that girl?"
Aslan smiled and pointed to the moon in the sky: "It was an angel sent by the goddess of the moon. She had promised to work in our mercenary group for a while. Man, don't make any decisions about her."
Akara shrugged regretfully. He did have this idea in his mind. Beauty, no one likes it, even if he doesn't have any skills, just put it in the business group and watch it, and treat it as a vase, it can be pleasing to the eye. More importantly, he felt that these two little guys should be from nobles, and it was mostly because of elopement that caused such a difficult situation. If he could pull them in trouble, the future reward would be hard to say.
Isn’t there a warning among the Sun God servants? It’s easy to add icing on the cake, but it’s hard to help in time. Unfortunately, Aslan, the big guy, took it first, and it was impossible to tell. This person was considered to be fine. For a moment, Akara sighed in her heart, hating that she had not brought these two children into her business group.
Then at around 11 o'clock in the morning, he felt even more regretful.
After all, he still had to rush the next day. After a while of carnival, the mercenaries went to bed with all kinds of good moods. Da Tie continued to stand guard, but his eyes were no longer looking outside with vigilance, but focused on the carriage where Bai Min was sleeping. Even if he could not see the girl, his sight could not be moved away from there.
Because he guessed that the two were nobles, Aslan cleared a carriage, let Chen Xiansong and the others live in, and brought them some clean clothes. Perhaps because he had been sleeping for ten thousand years, Chen Xiansong was not sleepy and took a lot of time to fall asleep. When he woke up, he felt that the carriage was vibrating from time to time.
Bai Min sat next to the boy. At this time, she had already changed into girls' clothes. Although it was very old, it was much better than wearing a torn men's clothes. Chen Xiansong had seen Bai Min's body, which was very beautiful, but he felt that the girl wearing women's clothes was much more beautiful and cute.
Chen Xiansong remembers that "Natural Men's Necessary Self-cultivation and Worldview" said: Women wearing clothes are more beautiful than women without clothes, but why do men always like to take off women's clothes? There are only three reasons: one, conquest, two, lust, three, love. You must learn to distinguish your feelings and figure out who the woman you really love. The new human women that we natural men have to experience in our lives will at least reach double digits. Only she will accompany you until the end, watch you grow old slowly, and will never leave you until you die.
Not to mention the content of the later part of this passage, Chen Xiansong felt that the first half was indeed too true. Bai Min was so beautiful just wearing such simple clothes, she was even more beautiful than Youwei and Sister Jingwei. If she dressed up a little and put on her outfit, what would it be like? Chen Xiansong couldn't think of it because his sexual inhibitors were still working and he didn't have the imagination in that aspect.
After curled up and sleeping in the carriage for a long time, Chen Xiansong was very uncomfortable. He got up and twisted his body, then subconsciously touched his face, but he did not touch the water stains.
"It seems that I have cried enough." Chen Xiansong said to himself, then turned his head and asked Bai Min who was sitting quietly beside him: "How long has it been now."
"At 10:24." Bai Min said lightly.
Chen Xiansong stretched out his head from the car window and saw that the weather outside was quite clear. The carriage slowly drove on a dirt road, surrounded by green plants, and red crystals were looming in it. While he was sleeping, the mercenaries escorted the merchant group and had already left the Gobi Desert.
The carriage he was in was the last in the team, and in front of them were more than a dozen caravans. There were several mercenaries outside and behind the carriage. When he saw him sticking out his head, they all greeted him enthusiastically: "The little guy is awake? Haha, he got up so early."
Listening to this kindly sarcasm, Chen Xiansong responded to a wooden smile, making those people creepy. Then he retracted into the carriage and patted his face with his hands: "Tsk tsk, under the suppression of emotional agents, it is not convenient to communicate with expressions. Bai Min, how long will the emotional inhibitor fail?"
"About 12 hours. Depending on your physical condition, there will be some increase or decrease."
"Oh. It's boring to sit like this. You have to find something to do, otherwise you'll be bored... By the way, we are employees who are under someone's roof, so do some work." Chen Xiansong muttered to himself, then stuck his head out the window and said to the nearest mercenary: "Brother, can you help me take the account book? I want to find something to do!"
"Are you going to start working?" The mercenary was overjoyed: "Wait, I'll go find the regiment commander now."
Then not long after, someone sent a pile of thick sheepskin rolls. She was a woman with a blond hair, with a little beauty, but her appearance was far worse than Bai Min. She got on the carriage with an unpleasant face. She was stunned when she saw Bai Min, then hummed jealously, threw down the sheepskin roll in her hand, and quickly left.
Originally, Chen Xiansong wanted to say hello to her, but seeing her like this, she lost her mood. Natural people have been spoiled by the new humans around them since childhood. They have always been the center of their sight. They would stick their hot faces to others' cold butts. He also "hum" in the way of the woman, then spread his hands and shook his head and sighed, but there was no expression on his face. Such an action was extremely strange. Fortunately, there was no one else in the carriage except Bai Min.
The accounting book recording method in the parchment scroll is simple and primitive. Chen Xiansong feels that the most primitive human knotting method may be better than this. The whole chapter of the parchment scroll is "I took on the task yesterday and got the xxx copper coin today", or "I took on the task in the morning and got the xxx copper coin in the afternoon," or "I completed the task today and the employer paid the commission xxx copper coin."
There is no correct date record at all, and no expenditure record. It is almost impossible to correctly understand the "profit and loss" of this mercenary group.
In addition, there is no multiplication or division at all. For example, the record of paying a fixed amount by number of days is calculated in the parchment scroll (n+n=2n, 2n+n=3n, 3n+n=4n), rather than (nx4). The most outrageous thing is that there is a task that lasts more than a year. I just added it day by day and wrote a full dozen parchment scrolls, and then... the final result is wrong, and the amount is reduced by about one-third.
It took nearly an hour for Chen Xiansong to finish reading all the parchment rolls. He felt dizzy and it was too hard. After breathing, he stuck his head out of the car window again and shouted to the mercenary just now: "Brother, can you please ask Uncle Aslan for some things? Regarding the account book, I want to ask about some things."
Not long after, Aslan boarded the carriage where Chen Xiansong was. He put the old broad sword in his hand aside, then wiped the sweat from his face and asked, "Little guy, are there any problems with the account book?"
"The problem is that at least one-third of the records in it have been calculated. In addition, the way of recording this account book is too simple." Chen Xiansong took out three pictures from the bottom of the scroll and placed them in front of Aslan: "I would like to ask, these three scrolls are records of the same task, and the handwriting is still very fresh. It should be the settlement of the amount of the mission for our mercenary group this time."
Aslan took it and nodded, "Yes, although I don't know words and can't calculate the number of hundreds or more digits, every time Campbell records, I'm watching this one. What, is there a problem?"
"Uncle, can the team leader tell me the content and amount of the mission?"
Aslan recalled and said, "Akara hired us to escort the merchant group from Heizu City to Wawu Empire, and then come back. It's 96 days today. We will have two days left to return to Heizu City. He will pay us a commission of 51 copper coins every day. We agreed in advance that no matter how long it takes, as long as the goods can safely return to Heizu City, Akara will pay us a commission of 100 days."
"Is it cost to include food, accommodation and hotels? How do you calculate the casualty pension?"
These words were a little fresh to Aslan. He thought for a while before he understood what it meant. He shook his head and said, "The food is distributed by the merchant group for free every day. We solve some of it ourselves, and it is not included in the commission. The casualty pension you mentioned should refer to the money for life. These merchant groups do not care about it, and are generally responsible for the mercenary group itself. Why, did Campbell calculate it wrong?"
Chen Xiansong nodded: "Well, I'm wrong, I just don't know if she has calculated the extra food expenses."
"Our food is given for free every day by the merchant group, and we get everything else in the wild," Aslan said seriously: "All mercenary groups will never spend an extra copper coin on the food during their mission."
Chen Xiansong looked at the last error number calculated on the parchment and asked, "Uncle, have you received the commission?"
"I got half of it, 1,700 copper coins, Campbell told me that half of the 3,400 copper coins are 1,700. The rule of the mercenary line is to get half of the deposit before the mission officially begins, and then get the remaining half after the mission is over. In order to facilitate carrying, we went to the noble shop to exchange copper coins for gold and silver coins before departure. Of course, the vampires took away 50 copper coins for our handling fee." Aslan felt quite unhappy when he thought that the other party could take away the rewards that their mercenary group had worked hard for a day to get.
"Wrong, wrong" Chen Xiansong shook his head vigorously: "As you said, the amount for 100 days should be 5,100 copper coins, and half should be 2,550 copper coins."
