Chapter 325

When Zhao Ce helped Zhao Wensheng prove his innocence previously, he studied Zuixuanlou's account books.

Later, after I opened my own store, I would check the store's income, expenses and profits with Zhao Wensheng every month.

Ancient account books only had two items: income and expenditure, which were actually quite easy to understand.

Zhao Ce drank a lot of wine, but he didn't look drunk on his face.

Hearing this, he nodded and said, "A relative in my family once worked as a shopkeeper in a restaurant, and I once heard him tell me how to read the account books."

As soon as the generals present heard this, they immediately looked at Zhao Ce with bright eyes.

"Brother Zhao, can you help us look at these ledgers?"

"To be honest, we have people in the army who specialize in keeping accounts, but the Commander-in-Chief has said that I am afraid that when the imperial censor comes this time, he will be implicated in a big way and ask us to check all the accounts from previous years."

"We have so many brothers in the army, the monthly expenses and the income from the military camps, as well as the military pay sent by the court, so many accounts, and the account books for just one year add up to dozens of books."

"It would be impossible for the two people who keep the accounts alone to review it."

"So we, the old gangsters, were all pulled out and worked as coolies."

After a deputy general next to Old Feng finished speaking, Old Feng frowned slightly and said, "That's not good. Brother Zhao also has to prepare for the imperial examination. How can he have so much time to spend with us?"

Others also looked a little disappointed. A person next to him whispered: "The quartermaster in charge of the accounts is your brother-in-law. Didn't my sister-in-law say that she would help him?"

Old Feng coughed lightly and said, "Since we have the chance to meet you today, why not ask Brother Zhao to help us take a look at these two account books?"

As soon as he said this, many people present beamed with joy.

He looked at Zhao Ce as if he were looking at a piece of cake.

They were a group of soldiers and ruffians who drank together and boasted, and they became brothers.

There was no shame at all.

Zhao Ce looked at their expectant eyes, smiled and said: "I am a scholar, and I am really not very good at keeping accounts."

"But to thank you for treating me to a drink today, I'll take a look at it for you."

"But if there are any mistakes or omissions, please don't mind."

A group of generals said happily: "I don't mind! I don't mind!"

"You can just take a look at it for us. I don't believe it. The imperial censor came here and took our military camp for a careful interrogation!"

"If we just check the salt field, they probably won't be able to find it."

"If it hadn't been for the command of the Commander-in-Chief, we wouldn't have ignored it!"

When Zhao Ce heard what they said, he no longer refused.

He opened one of the account books handed over by Lao Feng and flipped through it.

When he turned to a certain page, his hand paused.

A group of military generals nearby came around again and asked, "Why did you stop? Is there something wrong here?"

Zhao Ce pointed to two of the accounts and said: "There is indeed something wrong with these two places."

Old Feng glanced down and said, "Good boy, you can tell at this glance that he is really powerful!"

He asked someone to mark this one, and Zhao Ce continued to turn over it.

After pointing to another place later, I didn't see the general problem in the other account book.

Zhao Ce closed the two ledgers and said, "After reading it, there are some problems with the two places above this ledger."

"In other words, there is probably something wrong with this entire account book. General, you can go back and check it carefully."

“As for this one, I can’t see it yet.”

A group of people looked at him dumbfounded.

In less than a cup of tea, Zhao Ce flipped through the two ledgers and said he was finished?

So the two places pointed out are not meant to be pointed out blindly, right?

Zhao Ce handed the two account books back to Lao Feng, and the group of military generals all seemed to be in a dream.

They sat here all day, eating and drinking, and only turned through a few pages.

As a result, if a scholar just browses through it casually, he can see it so easily?

Lao Feng's deputy general praised: "Scholars are different!"

Several other people also praised Zhao Ce without hesitation.

The account book was finished so quickly, and several people continued drinking without any pressure.

Old Feng said happily: "Last time I asked you to come to me in the provincial capital and I would teach you how to practice marksmanship. Are you interested?"

After Zhao Ce heard this, he was indeed a little moved, but thinking that the college examination was approaching, he hesitated.

The person next to him said with great interest: "Old Feng's family lives on South Street. If you want to learn, go directly to him."

"Lao Feng's marksmanship is quite good."

"And his home also has a small racecourse with several horses. If you are interested, you can ask Lao Feng to teach you some riding skills."

"I don't like the way those scholars are all powerless. They are too weak."

"Old Feng said you are a true hero and have a pretty good personality. When you are ready, you can show off with us!"

Lao Feng scoffed: "Just you?"

"Brother Zhao doesn't know anything, but he can beat you down!"

Several people started laughing and making trouble.

Zhao Ce looked at Old Feng next to him with some surprise.

South Street in Fucheng is the best location in Fucheng.

This old Feng actually lives in such a good location and has a racecourse at home. He is really rich!

Zhao Ce no longer hesitated, nodded and said: "Then after my Taoist test..."

Lao Feng interrupted him directly: "You don't have to wait until after the Taoist examination. It's not good for you scholars to just stay at home and study every day."

"If you really want to learn, come to my house after Yin hour every day, and I will take you to learn for an hour."

"At Mao hour, I will go to the military center to order Mao hour, and you can go home and study."

"If nothing else, if you ride a horse around the yard so early in the morning, you might become even smarter when you go home and study."

Zhao Ce felt that what Lao Feng said was quite reasonable.

And after what happened to Lao Gu last time, he really wanted to learn some martial arts.

After all, things are unpredictable, and only one's own strength can better protect his family and friends."

Zhao Ce responded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Old Feng."

Old Feng waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about? You helped us today, come on, come on, have another drink!"

After a group of people had eaten and drank enough, they staggered out of the wine shop.

After Zhao Ce left, Lao Feng took the two account books and said to the people next to him: "Go back and have someone check it to see if there is anything wrong with the account book that Brother Zhao mentioned."

After the deputy general next to him took it, he said with some suspicion: "Can you really see the problem at this glance?"
