Chapter 213

"Farewell!"

Merton bowed his hand to Yuan Shoucheng and went to the three Qin Huaiyu waiting aside. He mentioned his courage. It was not fun to see through the flaws of Taoism.

Merton didn't expect that just one more word, Yuan Shoucheng caught a glimpse of the flaw and had to throw calcium tablets as bait, which was able to calm the matter.

Fortunately, this time, there was no harvest. The secret of alchemy alone was enough to repay Merton's adventure.

"You must not be so reckless in the future!" Merton warned himself secretly.

Qin Huaiyu was still immersed in the power of Li Shimin and Yu Wei. They didn't notice the strange situation of Merton. The four hurried back to their homes with a heavy heart.

Mo Fu.

As soon as Merton's front foot arrived at the Mo mansion, Fubo came to report that Dai Zhou, the Minister of the Ministry of people, arrived.

"Lord Dai!" Merton hurriedly greeted. He didn't expect the armor to come so quickly.

"Hahaha, Lord Mo, don't be polite. Send the account books of the Mojia village quickly!" Dai Zhou was excited and walked like a tiger. He couldn't see the symptoms of the rumored lack of health at all.

Dai Zhou was extremely happy. The drought relief in spring almost said that the imperial court's Treasury was hollowed out. In addition, the emperor was lucky to be in Jiucheng Palace this time, which was a lot of expenses, but this time it was the busy season of the field, and the field tax had not been collected. It can be said that the Ministry of civil affairs is in an era of youth and yellow.

At this time, the emperor suddenly sent a letter saying that Lord Mo had given up his knighthood privilege and voluntarily paid taxes. You know, during this period of time, the Mohists earned a lot of money, and the taxes they had to pay were not small numbers. At present, they could not restrain themselves, so they immediately set off to go to the Mohist house in person.

"Lord Dai, please come in. The account books have already been counted." Merton quickly asked Dai Zhou to enter the lobby and waved his hand. Xu Jie held a large pile of account books in front of Dai Zhou.

"Come on, carefully check the books of the Mohist house and make a good statistics of the taxes payable by the Mohist village. If you lose a penny, take it as a question!" Dai Zhou shouted and couldn't wait

Suddenly, more than a dozen people's Ministry accounting rooms entered the living room with calculation chips in hand, arranged their papers on the spot, and checked the books of Mojia village on the spot, while Xu Jie stayed aside and was responsible for explaining to the people's Ministry accounting room if there were any problems.

"Lord Mo is selfless and dedicated to his country. He is really a model in the world. I will certainly play in the court to show my merit for you." Dai Zhou was relieved to hear the huge numbers.

As the saying goes, people die for money. Birds die for food. Ordinary people don't care about money. They want to extort money, let alone pay taxes. Merton's move is no less than sending charcoal in the snow. It can be said that he has directly solved Dai Zhou's urgent need,

"I'm flattered. I'm deeply indebted to the emperor. Naturally, I'll know how to repay my kindness and pay taxes in business. It's a matter of course. I can't afford to be praised by adults." Merton said positively.

"Well, it's only natural that if all the businessmen in the Tang Dynasty are like you, why worry about the decline of the Tang Dynasty." Dai Zhou said with emotion. As the Minister of the people's Ministry of the Tang Dynasty, he can be said to be the top figure in the economic field of the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, he knows how profiteering businessmen are, and many businessmen depend on the dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty to evade business tax or try every means to evade tax. This is the reason for the low commercial tax in Datang.

Counting the account books is a long job, but Dai Zhou doesn't dislike the boredom at all. He refuses Merton's invitation to sit in the side hall. He listens to the sound of the abacus beating in the accounting room. Merton has no choice but to make tea and serve him.

"Lord Mo, don't laugh at me. In my opinion, there's no more wonderful sound of counting and beating at this time." Dai Zhou said. In his opinion, counting and raising means that all the money goes into the bag. The Tang Dynasty has just been founded. There are so many places that need money. All this depends on Dai Zhou's hard support, I can't wait to break a penny in half.

"How dare, how dare, what Lord Dai thinks, the boy also agrees. In the boy's opinion, there is no more wonderful knowledge than arithmetic at this time." Merton also sighed.

"I forgot that Lord Mo is also a master of mathematics." the Ministry of the people is the Department that uses mathematics most, and Dai Zhou is also a master of mathematics. Naturally, he knows the use of mathematics, and Morton is famous for Mathematics in Chang'an.

The old and the young suddenly found the topic and talked happily in the living room.

After a long time, the voice of the calculation stopped, and the two talents reluctantly stopped.

"Lord Mo's compound interest calculation method really opened my eyes." Dai Zhou said with emotion.

"Lord Dai's economic way is also an eye opener for the younger generation." Merton also admired him. Even from the perspective of Merton's later generations, Dai Zhou is a well deserved economic everyone.

They immediately sympathized with each other, just like life confidants.

"My Lord, the tax statistics have been completed!" the accounting room of the Ministry of civil affairs, headed by him, was a middle-aged man. After they complimented each other, they bowed down.

"So fast?" Dai Zhou looked at the thick stacks of account books on the table and said in surprise. If it would take a long time, he specially prepared ten account rooms in order to be in a hurry. According to the lowest estimate, it would take at least two hours, which would be finished in a little more than half an hour.

"Sir, Lord Mo is really a master of mathematics. The Mojia village adopts a new bookkeeping method. All bookkeeping is clear at a glance, and the lower officials and others only need to check the numbers." the head middle-aged accountant smiled bitterly. Not only has the arrangement been completed, but also the accounts in Mojia village are unusually clean. According to his many years of experience in checking accounts, this is indeed the most real account book, There was no tax evasion at all.

"New accounting method?" Dai Zhou looked up in amazement.

The middle-aged accounting room handed a book to Dai Zhou and said, "adults can see it at a glance."

Dai Zhou stretched out his hand to take it, and kept flipping through it. The more he looked at it, the more excited he was.

"Lord Mo really has a worldly talent. With such a simple debit and credit, he has solved the problems of countless accounting rooms in the world." Dai Zhou said excitedly.

"My lord flattered me. My boy thought that no matter what the account books in this world do, all they want is a balance between loans and borrowing, and there must be loans and loans must be equal. So he established this new bookkeeping method on this basis." Merton said.

"Lord Mo, I have an unkind request. Can you pass this method through the Tang Dynasty?" Dai Zhou said excitedly with a flush on his face.

"Lord Dai, you're welcome. This is a good method. Naturally, the Mohist school has no reason to hide. To be honest, there have been accounts printed with the new bookkeeping method in the printing house of the Mohist village for a long time, but it hasn't spread." Merton nodded.

Dai Zhou nodded, turned to the middle-aged accounting room and said, "after going back, the Ministry of the people immediately purchased a new accounting book. From then on, the Ministry of the people adopted this new accounting method."

"Yes!" the middle-aged cashier nodded.

They have witnessed the effect of this new accounting method. If the Ministry of civil affairs also adopts this method, their work will be greatly reduced.
