Fortunate Young Gentleman

Chapter 292: Calculation Completed

The progress of the account settlement in the Duzhi Yamen was very fast, and the enthusiasm of the accountants exceeded Tang Ning's expectations. They took the initiative to work overtime until late at night. At this speed, the first round of accounting will be completed before the end of the Yamen tomorrow at the latest.

Without the most tedious sorting and classification work, each round in the future will be faster.

In this way, Tang Ning does not have to worry too much about the accounts. After leaving the Yamen, Tang Yaoyao and Xiu'er were already waiting outside.

As the three walked towards Tianranju, Tang Yaoyao whispered: "Do you think this method is okay?"

"It should be okay." Tang Ning nodded and said: "Don't you know Xiu'er's ability?"

Xiu'er patted her chest and assured: "Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely not reveal the truth."

Tang Yaoyao thought about it, and then asked: "Then can I take my aunt out in the future?"

Tang Ning shook his head and said: "No, I can only come out once in a while."

If a stranger often comes in and out of the Tang Mansion, even if he changes his appearance, it will definitely arouse suspicion from others.

In Tianranju, Xiu'er was sent to the backyard. Tang Yaoyao sat in Su Mei's room, looking at the big rag doll on her bed, and asked, "Why does this doll look familiar?"

Tang Ning took a sip of tea, walked out of the yard, and said, "Xiao Tao, lend me your Xiao Qing to play with again..."

Xiao Tao was not the only one in the yard, the old woman was also sitting on the stone bench

Tang Ning was walking in the yard. The old woman glanced at him and asked, "Boy, I heard that you encountered some troubles in the Ministry of Revenue?"

Tang Ning stopped and said, "It's a small trouble, no problem."

"Small trouble?" The old woman glanced at him and said, "A sheep in the tiger's mouth is also a small trouble?"

Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "What do you mean?"

The old woman said disdainfully, "The people of Prince Duan are all over the Ministry of Revenue. If you are not careful, there will be a disaster of overthrow. You actually think it is a small trouble?"

Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "The old lady's news is a bit outdated. Minister Wei has been transferred. The Tang family has only two principals at most. What kind of disaster is overthrowing?"

The old woman sneered and said: "Did the old woman mention the Tang family just now?"

Tang Ning was stunned, looked at the old woman, and asked, "What does the old lady mean?"

...

Inside the room, Su Mei was lying on the bed holding the baby, while Tang Yaoyao was sitting at the table. She glanced at her and pouted, "How old are you, but you are still so childish, like a child..."

Su Mei smiled and said, "You are not young anymore, aren't you also like a child?"

When she said this, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally swept across Tang Yaoyao's chest. Tang Yaoyao was stunned, and suddenly stood up, and said angrily, "What do you mean!"

"Miss, come and take a look..." At this time, Xiu'er's voice came from outside the door, her tone full of pride.

Tang Yaoyao walked out of the room and looked at the strange woman next to Xiu'er. She was a little puzzled and asked, "Aunt, is it really you?"

Su Mei walked out of the room and her expression also changed. She said, "It's amazing. If it weren't for the clothes, I almost couldn't recognize my mother."

Tang Yaoyao was stunned and asked uncertainly, "Mother?"

Su Mei smiled at her and said, "Miss Tang, you should call me aunt."

...

It turned out that Xiu'er was really Xiu, and Tang Ning admired her very much.

Although she didn't turn decay into magic like the disguise in the novel, after her hands, Tang Ning couldn't even recognize her own mother, let alone others.

Even Tang Yaoyao was shocked by Xiu'er. On the way back, she didn't say a word.

When they returned home, Tang Yaoyao suddenly looked at him and asked, "Why did Su Mei call Auntie "Mom"?"

Tang Ning looked at her and explained, "My mother adopted her as her daughter, and she is now my sister."

Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and said in a complicated tone, "Why do you have so many sisters?"

Tang Ning looked at her and said, "I also have a sister, Xiao Xiao, if you want, you can also call me brother..."

"Bah, who wants to be your sister!"

Tang Yaoyao spat secretly, stamped her toes, and flew over the courtyard wall lightly.

Tang Ning curled her lips. She didn't want to call him, but he didn't care. Whoever wants to be her foster brother must be tortured to death by her...

In Tianranju, Su Mei walked out of the room and looked at the old woman in the yard and said, "What did you say to him just now?"

"What are you worried about?" The old woman glanced at her and said, "I just reminded him that there is another fierce tiger in the Ministry of Revenue, so that he won't be careless and die in the Ministry of Revenue."

Su Mei frowned and asked, "Do you want to remind him or use him?"

"Remind or use..." The old woman looked at her and said, "He took advantage of us so much, he should compensate us. How can you borrow without paying back in this world?"

Su Mei said dissatisfiedly, "The old fox in the Ministry of Revenue has not revealed his feet for so many years. He has only been in the Ministry of Revenue for a few days. How could he..."

"Don't you know how capable your foster brother is?" The old woman glanced at her and deliberately emphasized the three words "foster brother".

...

Tang Ning was sitting in his duty room. He had already calculated the accounts for the previous quarter yesterday. He had already calculated them for the second time this morning. The result was slightly different from the first time. During the third calculation, he found the reason. An accountant had miscalculated a number. After correcting it, he calculated it again and it was correct.

He waved to a scribe, who immediately came over. Tang Ning handed him the accounting book and said, "Take it to the two ministers."

The clerk nodded in agreement and walked out of the check-in room holding the account book.

He walked to the other duty room, looked at Duzhifang Jishi who looked tired, and said, "Everyone has worked hard these days."

"It's not hard, it's not hard..."

"Master Tang is the one who works hard!"

"It's all thanks to Mr. Tang that the calculation can be completed so early this time..."

Zhongzhishi immediately stood up and saluted, his face full of respect and admiration.

Tang Ning waved her hands and said, "This is all thanks to all of you. I'm going to treat you today. After I go to office, I'll treat you all to a drink at Tiantianju."

"Thank you, sir!"

"I never thought that I, Old Chen, would be able to have a meal at Tiantianju in this life..."

"This time, we can finally see what this natural residence looks like..."

While Ji Shimen of Duzhi Fang was cheering, in another room, Han Ming, the right servant of the Ministry of Revenue, stood up in surprise and asked: "Is it over so soon?"

The same accounts in previous years, with nearly 20 people in Duzhu Fang, and accounting day and night, it took nearly ten days to complete the errand. This time, the number of people in Duzhu Fang was reduced by half, and the time was not extended, but shortened by half. , it’s really unbelievable.

He waved his hand and said, "Bring it over and let me take a look."

The scribe immediately handed over the account book.

Before officially handing it over, Tang Ning had asked them to convert the last delivered book into Chen Guotong's Chinese characters. Han Ming flipped through it and saw that the account book was in good order. He murmured: "Incredible, really incredible, Mr. Tang It’s too fast…”

He handed the account book to Fang Zhe and asked, "Master Fang, do you want to see it?"

Fang Zhe waved his hand and said, "As long as Mr. Han thinks there are no problems, I won't read it."

Han Mingdao: "There shouldn't be any big difference. The tax revenue is about the same as last year. The decrease in expenditures should be related to the reduction in the amount of money allocated by the Ministry of Water Resources. Speaking of which, it is also because of the Tang Dynasty that the court can save money." These hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.”

He looked at Fang Zhe and said, "If Master Fang feels there is no problem, I will submit this book to Master Shangshu."

Fang Zhe nodded and agreed.

At the same time, other rooms in the Household Department were also in a state of excitement.

"The Du branch has already finished the calculation. How many days has it been?"

"This is not true. Doctor Chen took away half of the history, and they can shorten the time by half. How is this possible?"

"Haha, you have forgotten that there is Director Tang in the Du branch. Do you think that the number one scholar in Sanyuan and the third place is just like us?"

"Master Tang is mighty and worthy of being the fastest man in the household department..."

While the entire household department was in a state of turmoil, Tang Ning was thinking about things while waiting in the office.

Although the accounting matter has come to an end, there is still one thing in Tang Ning's mind that she has not let go of.

The old woman didn't tell him who the tiger in the household department was. It was impossible for Fang Zhe, Han Shilang didn't look like him, Qian Shangshu... it seemed unlikely.

According to what the old woman said, King Duan was so secretive. He once occupied at least two of the three ministers and two ministers in the household department. In this way, the household department was like his back garden. .... In this way, the things he discovered were not so strange.

The water in the household department is very deep. It involves the country's money and food. It is difficult for ordinary people to get into it. If you act rashly without a deep background, you may be chewed up to the dregs.

Tang Ning didn't think his background was very deep. He was from a small family, and he didn't have a reliable boss. Since the matter was serious, he planned to stay put until he determined the target.

Guessing that the time for going to the lower office was coming soon, he packed up his things and stood up to go back after the gong of the lower office sounded.

At this moment, a scribe hurriedly walked in and said: "Master Tang, Shilang Fang asked you to come over."
