"Sir, please be careful with your words!"
"Our Cang Cao is the God of Wealth of Yinzhou Zhechong Mansion. All expenses in the mansion need her approval."
Han Zhong glanced at Zhou Yuan and said lightly.
"What God of Wealth? He's just a shopkeeper who's in charge of accounting. Why do you have to praise him so highly?" Zhou Yuan's face was full of disdain when he heard it.
Han Zhong didn't say anything, but Yinji snorted softly, and Zhou Yuan quickly quieted down.
"Captain Han, I'm invited to join the army!"
Not long after, a guard came out and stood on the steps and spoke loudly.
"Lord Yin, please come in!" Han Zhong made a gesture of invitation to Yin Ji.
Yinji nodded slightly, then strode up the stairs to go in.
Zhou Yuan rushed to catch up, but Han Zhong held him back: "Excuse me, this is a strategic location in Yinzhou. Mr. Zhou cannot enter."
"I...I came here with Lord Yin, why can't I go in?" Zhou Yuan shouted.
"You are not from Yinzhou Prefecture, you are an outsider, please stay!" Han Zhong spoke coldly and refused to give in.
Zhou Yuan could only look to Yinji for help: "My Lord, I..."
Yin Ji also had a headache. He seemed unable to understand the account books, but Zhou Yuan was able to help him find the problems.
If Zhou Yuan didn't go in with them, there would be no point.
So he immediately said: "Mr. Zhou is my entourage, not an outsider."
"Master Yin, it's because of your status as the Commandant of the Silver Province that Master Zhao agreed to let you come here to review the accounts. If you bring any outsiders with you, I won't be able to explain this to Master Zhao."
"Mr. Zhou himself said that he is the third generation of the Zhou family, the salt merchants of Jinyang, and is not a military figure."
"Please, Lord Yin, don't embarrass me."
Han Zhong was neither humble nor arrogant, and spoke reasonably and coherently, so Yinji was blocked and unable to refute.
"Mr. Zhou, just wait outside!" Yin Ji said helplessly.
"Then Lord Yin, you must look carefully. If it really doesn't work, find a way to bring the account book out." Zhou Yuan saw that Yin Ji had to abide by the rules, so he could only remind him like this.
"Okay, okay, I got it!"
Yinji waved his hand and strode into the gate with his head held high.
"The military officer in charge of warehouses in Yinzhou Prefecture is actually a woman?"
When he walked into the hall and found Bai Ruolan, Chunxiang and several servants waiting inside, Yinji was stunned.
"That's right. We appoint people based on merit and have no prejudice." Han Zhong said calmly, "Master Yin wants to see the account books, so let's look at the accounts."
This woman is the future wife of the commander-in-chief. She controls every penny of Yinzhou. How can she be disrespectful to him in the slightest?
Yinji was confused, but he did not forget his main task.
The woman in front of me is dressed in white, as pure as snow, and must have an extraordinary background.
Being able to manage the provincial government accounts for Zhao Muyun and being highly valued, he must be extraordinary.
"Your humble servant greets Lord Yin!" Bai Ruolan smiled faintly. "I just heard from the concierge that Lord Yin is coming to check the accounts. I have already prepared all the accounts!"
Bai Ruolan pointed with her jade hand, and saw more than ten account books already placed on the table.
"This is the food expenditure account, this is the weapons maintenance account, this is the soldiers' salary payment account, this is the city construction expense account..."
Bai Ruolan introduced each account book on the table one by one as if they were treasures on the back of her hand.
When Yinji saw so many account books, he suddenly got a headache.
He pretended to be serious and picked up a book of military salary distribution accounts, and began to read it with a serious look.
However, as soon as I opened it, my eyes widened and I was filled with confusion.
This account book was completely different from the accounting method used in Prince Jin's mansion. It was filled with strange symbols that he couldn't understand at all.
Yinji flipped through several more pages, all filled with strange symbols like this.
To him, it was like a heavenly book.
Even if Zhou Yuan came in, he might not be able to understand it.
I also wanted to find clues from other people's account books, but I couldn't understand anything.
How can we check this?
Yin Ji held it in for a long time, and finally couldn't help but frown and asked, "Bai...Bai Canjun, what does this mean? The accounting method in there is quite unique!"
"These are called Arabic numerals, and they are the latest accounting tool of our Yinzhou Prefecture." Bai Ruolan almost laughed out loud when she saw Yinji's stunned and ignorant look.
Zhao Muyun had told her before to keep a separate account, and the more loss the better.
However, the other party was stopped at the first step before he could see the deficit in the account, and he had to be given more knowledge.
"What Arabic numerals?" Yinji was confused.
"It's normal that Lord Yin doesn't know. Chunxiang, you come and teach him to recognize these numbers." Bai Ruolan was about to find a teacher for Yin Ji.
Bai Ruolan was naturally very disappointed that no one could understand the fake accounts she had worked so hard to make.
"You...you asked him to teach me?"
Seeing Bai Ruolan letting a maid-dressed person teach him something, Yin Ji felt it was humiliating. "No need, I can understand it!"
"But there are too many of these. I want to take them back and study them. What do you think?"
"Okay! Chunxiang, pack up these account books for this gentleman." Bai Ruolan agreed without any hesitation, and even packed them for Yinji.
He thought the other party would not agree, but he didn't expect him to agree to take him away so readily, which almost made Yinji unable to cope.
"This...can I take this away?" He still found it a little unbelievable, fearing that he had heard it wrong.
