"What?"

"The merchant Chen Wansan is really willing to pay such a high price, one million silver plus two fields and manors, to buy Fang Shiyu's accounting method?"

In the Great Inner Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang sat upright on the dragon throne, staring at Jiang Yan below in shock, listening to his report on Fang Shiyu and Chen Wansan.

"Everything I said is true."

"Mr. Fang is extremely smart. Not only did Chen Wansan take out such a huge sum of money, but he also turned around and turned Chen Wansan's ninety percent of his family into something in his hands! Chen Wansan asked for trouble and had no choice but to do anything!"

"I was shocked, but I was extremely happy!"

The spy leader of the Ming Dynasty was calling the wind and rain outside and showing off his power. At this time, he was cautious and extremely well-behaved in front of Emperor Hongwu!

"This group of unscrupulous merchants should be dealt with in this way!"

"Boy Fang is so tall! I've read that right. I appreciate this move by Boy Fang!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately burst into laughter!

Recently, I have been busy dealing with the affairs of the Military Affairs Office, especially the war situation in Liaodong. I have hardly had a good rest. When I heard this news, I couldn't help but relax.

"Not bad!"

"Did you remember the accounting method that kid invented?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped laughing and suddenly asked.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang hated merchants deeply, as the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang still admired his business affairs very much.

No matter how you look down on me, no matter how much you admire me, it is not contradictory to one code!

The Ministry of Revenue’s accounting method is the gantry account invented by Chen Wansan. Compared with the old-fashioned method before, it is indeed much more efficient and rigorous.

But there are still loopholes, and things that often happen that the accounts cannot match.

For example, during the Liaodong war, the Ming Dynasty sent 200,000 troops, which was an extremely huge expenditure project, but the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue had problems at this critical moment!

As a result, the food and military pay were not able to be collected as soon as possible!

In desperation, Zhu Yuanzhang had to pass on orders to allocate silver and food from the treasury (referring to the emperor, the private property of the royal family.) and the imperial village to fill the holes in the Ministry of Revenue.

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang personally ordered the Ministry of Revenue to find out the problem, several days passed and it was still not found.

Since Chen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, said that Fang Shiyu's method was better, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally wanted to see it.

Maybe the messy accounts of the Ministry of Revenue can be sorted out by Fang Shiyu's method!

"Your Majesty, please check it out!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan immediately took out a small notebook and handed it to Eunuch Li next to Zhu Yuanzhang.

As the leader of the Ming Dynasty spy, his ability to be knowledgeable and memorable is not inferior to his ability to observe his words and expressions.

Although he couldn't understand what Fang Shiyu was talking about, it didn't prevent him from forcing what Fang Shiyu said to write down word by word, turning it over and sorting it out neatly, and writing it out for emergencies after writing it out!

Isn't this just used?

Zhu Yuanzhang took Jiang Yan's notes from Eunuch Li, and only looked at them, and frowned immediately!

This is?

I can't understand?

Is there such a strange thing in the world?

Emperor Hongwu is an existence that is omniscient and omniscient!

When Zhu Yuanzhang first joined the Red Turban Army, what he did was a logistics leader!

Therefore, although Zhu Yuanzhang was not very proficient in this accounting, it would be nonsense to say that he couldn't understand it!

Even if it was the Dragon Gate Account that Chen Wansan invented, Zhu Yuanzhang could understand 80% or 90% after taking a glance!

But he didn't understand Fang Shiyu's method of keeping accounts!

Forget it!

I'd better go find Xiuying girl and ask her to help her take a look!

She is more talented than me!

.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang shouted Jiang Yan back, and then took Jiang Yan's note and went to find Empress Ma.

Queen Ma’s bedroom and the like, there are yellow book of fish scales from the Ministry of Revenue everywhere!

Empress Ma was so busy that she was so busy that she was slamming her abacus with one hand and a brush with the other, and was calculating the chaotic debt!

Empress Ma is indeed more talented than Zhu Yuanzhang in this regard!

As early as the Red Turban Army, the logistics and food and supplies of Guo Zixing's army were taken care of by Queen Ma.

But later Zhu Yuanzhang married him, and Zhu Yuanzhang had the existence of capable people like Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen around him, so Empress Ma ended up in leisure and gradually retreated behind the scenes.

But this ability has not been lost.

Seeing that the Ministry of Revenue had a problem at this critical moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was so anxious that he was at a loss, so he took the initiative to help Zhu Yuanzhang share the pressure.

But unexpectedly, it would be fine if there was a problem with the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue, and it was messy and it was difficult to find out in a short period of time!

It has been a few days, and it’s just a mess!

"Zhongba, I haven't sorted it out yet!"

"If I have a clue, I will send someone to tell you."

When Empress Ma heard the sound of footsteps, she knew that it was Zhu Yuanzhang who came. She continued to settle accounts while talking without raising her head.

"Xiuying, you don't have to work so hard!"

"What if this body is exhausted?"

"I'm so busy that I don't have time to go to Fang Xiaozi's yard these days, but Fang Xiaozi has come up with a new way to keep accounts. Chen Wansan, who is known as the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, has to buy it at a sky-high price when he sees it."

"I thought about such a good thing, so I sent it to you myself."

"Xiuying, look at whether the accounting method of Xiaozi Fang can be used? Can the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue be straightened out?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said while he quickly handed the note in his hand to Queen Ma.

"What did the little benefactor trick?"

"This little benefactor is really the lucky star of our Ming Dynasty!"

"Look, what is our Ming Dynasty lacking? What will your little benefactor invent it!"

"Produced by the little benefactor, it must be a fine product!"

When Empress Ma heard Fang Shiyu fiddling with a new way to keep accounts, she finally put down her work, raised her head, took the note from Zhu Yuanzhang, and quickly looked at it.

It was so out of control that he looked, and a smile gradually appeared on his face!

Fang Shiyu's method of keeping accounts actually originated from Venice a hundred years later!

As time goes by, with the efforts and improvement of many talented people, after more than 600 years, it is already flawless!

As long as you understand the way inside, it will be very simple after getting started. You just need to follow these steps and you will be able to calculate the inventory and balance in no time!

The workload required by using Fang Shiyu's method is less than one percent of the method Chen Wansan!

This efficiency is a world of difference!

"So, Fang Xiaozi's method of accounting is not only feasible, but also greatly improved efficiency? Then, using Fang Xiaozi's method of accounting, will the chaos of the Ministry of Revenue be cleared soon?"

After hearing Empress Ma’s explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang became excited.

This messy account failed to rest for several days!

The Ministry of Revenue is the core department of the Ming Dynasty. It is just such a core department that it can’t even calculate how much money the treasury has left and how much grain there is in the granary!

It's just a bunch of rice buckets! Waste!

If it hadn't been for using the treasury and the imperial village's supplies, the Liaodong army would probably not be able to open the door now!

Now that I heard Queen Ma talk about Fang Shiyu's method, it won't take long to figure it out, so how can I not be excited?

"I'm just speculating, but I have to experiment to find out the results."

"If my guess is correct, the Ministry of Revenue can continue to implement it!"

Queen Ma nodded and returned.

Although it has not been tested, based on his years of experience, it can still be determined that Fang Shiyu's accounting method is basically feasible, and it is the most efficient among the current accounting method.

If the Ministry of Revenue continues to implement it, this accounting method will definitely not make any mistakes in the future.

Empress Ma immediately followed Fang Shiyu's method and began to re-invest the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Um?"

"Zhongba, there is a problem!"

"This account is a big problem!"
