Chapter 70 Zhu Yunxi settles accounts

The glass workshop is still under construction, and everything I see is a craftsman working. A seme official is standing on a high ground and is introducing the plan of the entire glass workshop to Li Jie. However, Zhu Yunqiu, who came with Li Jie, is not here.

"Please read Li Banju, this is the most important production area, and the future glass firing will be mainly completed here. In our plan, three workshops will be built here, and the glass produced will be enough for the imperial court to apply!" Semu official pointed to the busy construction site in front of him and introduced.

This middle-aged Semite official was named Mahasha, and he was also Mahama's third brother. They also had an older brother named Masha Yihei. At that time, the three brothers accompanied their father Madrudin and set out from Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, and traveled thousands of miles to the Central Plains. With their talents and knowledge, they were valued by Zhu Yuanzhang and became one of the few Semite officials in the court.

Speaking of Madrudin, it can be said that he is quite amazing. He has extremely high astronomy and is extremely accurate in observing astronomy. Therefore, he is called "Mr. Dacha". Originally, he did not have a surname, but he followed the customs and simply took horses as his surname, so his children and grandchildren also had surnames.

"It's great, but is the production of these three workshops only enough to supply the Climate-Eye workshop?" Li Jie nodded at the well-organized construction site first, and then asked again.

"Yes, we asked about the needs of the Qianliyan workshop, and then built the workshop according to their needs, so as not to waste it." Mahasha immediately replied. Compared to his brother Mahama, Mahasha had average astronomy, but he knew a lot of miscellaneous studies. This time, he recruited Semu craftsmen to build a glass workshop, and Zhu Biao also asked him to take charge of the place.

"No, it's too few. Glass workshops cannot only supply Climate Animal workshops. Glass can not only be used for military purposes, but also for civilian purposes. Therefore, the output must be more than doubled, and it will even be increased in the future!" Li Jie shook his head and said.

Although he is not the supervisor of the glass workshop, the workshop was built on his suggestion, so he also has a great say in this place.

"Actually, I have also thought about civil use, but we mainly want to solve the shortage of glass materials for Miliga. Will the court agree to let our glass be sold?" Mahasha said hesitantly when he heard this. The court has never advocated competing for profit with the people, so he did not dare to consider civil use.

"Don't worry, I will report this to the prince. You just need to build it and leave enough land to expand in the future, so as not to be enough in the future!" Li Jie said with a firm expression.

Li Jie insists on using glass for civil use, not only for his own glass mirror, but also because he also has a wide range of uses for glass, such as making windows, various glassware, and even making greenhouses with glass to achieve vegetable freedom in winter. It can be said that the appearance of glass can increase many industries, and each industry can support many people.

Seeing that Li Jie took this matter, Mahasha certainly would not refuse. Then he took Li Jie around other places. Although many places were still a construction site, some prototypes could be seen.

After visiting the entire glass workshop, Li Jie and Mahasha said goodbye. After all, the other party was in charge of the entire workshop and had many things to be busy with. He did not come here to supervise the worker, but his main goal was to train Zhu Yunxi.

Li Jie stepped to the front of the workshop. This was the first part of the construction. Many places have been built. For example, when Li Jie came here, he smelled the smell of food. Because the canteen of the workshop is here, the sky is no longer there, and the canteen is also preparing food.

On the east side of the canteen was a small house. Li Jie pushed the door and walked into the room. He saw Zhu Yunxiu holding his head with both hands and sitting behind the table with a dull look on his face. His hair on his head was scratched in a mess.

"How is your highness doing? Do you understand the purchase and consumption of the kitchen today?" Li Jie walked up to him with a smile and asked. The first thing he arranged for Zhu Yunxi was very easy, that is, settle accounts. After all, as the emperor's grandson, if he couldn't even calculate the accounts clearly, what else can he do in the future?

"No...no!" Zhu Yunxiu lowered his head with a red face, as if embarrassed to look at Li Jie.

When Li Jie arranged the task of calculating for him just now, he felt that he was a big shot. After all, he had learned calculating before, but after taking over, he realized that a small kitchen, the daily food items, plus the staff's wages, etc., was simply a mess. He scratched his head and couldn't figure out a clue.

Li Jie was not surprised at Zhu Yunxi's answer at all. He walked up to Zhu Yunxi, then picked up the booklet in front of him and looked at it. It was full of Zhu Yunxi's calculations. However, all the mathematical calculations during this period were recorded in words, and this one had nothing to do with the previous one, which also led to the whole record being very confusing. It is no wonder that Zhu Yunxi did not understand the calculation.

"This is not how the accounts are settled!" Li Jie looked at the account book and said earnestly to Zhu Yunxi again.

"Li Banju, just find a accountant to do something like settlement. As the saying goes, 'Those who work hard to control others, and those who work hard to control others', as long as you know others and make good use of them, you don't need to do anything yourself!" Zhu Yunxiu suddenly raised his head and said unconvincedly. Children of his age all have strong self-esteem, and of course they are unwilling to admit their failures.

"Haha, it's a lot to find yourself a little bit!" Li Jie laughed and asked again, "It's easy to find someone to settle the accounts, but have you ever thought about what to do if this person is unreliable and tamper with the accounts, such as deducting the food of the craftsmen to make profits, or using inferior products as good ones, and you can't even understand the accounts. Wouldn't they just lie to you as much as they want?"

"I..." Zhu Yunqiu was not convinced at first and wanted to find someone who knew the accounts to supervise it, but after thinking carefully, if the supervisor colluded with the accountant, he could still keep him in the dark at that time, which immediately made him look like a deflated ball, and his whole body became depressed. He did not expect that he would suffer such a big blow when he left the palace on the first day.

Seeing that Zhu Yunyu didn't say anything, Li Jie didn't make fun of him anymore, but sat next to Zhu Yunyu, then picked up the paper and pen and said, "Come on, I'll teach you how to settle the accounts. If you can't even calculate the accounts of a kitchen, how do you manage them in the future... Cough~, help Your Majesty and the Prince govern the country?"

When Zhu Yunxi finally cheered up and sat up straight when he heard that Li Jie wanted to teach him how to settle the accounts, Li Jie first helped him sort out the accounts, and then used the most traditional method to sort out the accounts, and finally calculated the daily in and out values.

"Huh? Why did this messy account become so simple when it comes to Li Bandu's hands?" Zhu Yunxiu looked at Li Jie's account to settle the ban, and his face was both surprised and puzzled.

"It's not that it's simple to me, but that you have to learn too much, and the method I use now is actually the most troublesome. Next, I will teach you a simpler and clearer method. As long as you learn it, not to mention a small kitchen, you can calculate the in and out of the treasury clearly!" Li Jie said a lesson again.

"Calculate the national treasury? Is it true or false?" Zhu Yunxiu said in disbelief when he heard this. The kitchen of a workshop had already scratched his head. The in and out of the national treasury was more than ten thousand times more complicated than the kitchen. I heard that the Ministry of Revenue convened hundreds of clerks to settle the accounts, and it took ten days and half a month to calculate the calculations. If one person calculates, then it will take until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month?

"Don't believe it? Then do we want to make another bet?" Li Jie suddenly smiled sly.

"Go to bet! Or how about the last bet?" Zhu Yunxiu obviously did not learn from the lessons from last time, and he also took the initiative to put forward the bet.

"Okay, that's all. I'll teach you a new algorithm. Then you'll wait and admit defeat!" Li Jie smiled confidently.
Chapter completed!
