Red Dust Daqian

The world was finally quiet. Zhou Sen issued a mandatory blocking order, and Zhao Tiezhu really stopped everyone outside the courtyard gate. Shen Qianrou finally had some free time and sat down quietly to learn arithmetic knowledge with Zhou Sen.

Just after learning the 10 Arabic numerals, Shen Qianrou, Xiangcao, and Shen Yueer had just gotten into the groove. Zhao Tiezhu rushed into the backyard to report, but one person couldn't be stopped and insisted on barging in, saying that he had to see Hall Master Shen today.

Zhou Sen was puzzled, is there someone in Qianmu Hall of Jiangxia Prefecture that you, Zhao Tiezhu, cannot stop? Who would be so bold, if not, just expel him from Xiangmu Society. Zhao Tiezhu said with a sad face, he was not from Xiangmu Society, and it was not easy for him to do anything to this person. Before Zhao Tiezhu finished speaking, Li Ning'er's voice came from the courtyard: "Oh, you evil Taoist, so you are really in Qianmu Hall. No wonder I couldn't find you after turning the inn upside down. Don't you usually sleep until noon? Why did you go out so early today? I have been waiting in the inn for a long time, and I thought you were sleeping?"

This series of calls for accountability made Zhou Sen's scalp tingle. At this moment, Zhou Sen believed that Zhao Tiezhu could not be stopped, so he let Zhao Tiezhu go.

Zhou Sen asked Li Ning'er in confusion why she was looking for him. Li Ning'er replied, "Nothing." She then asked Zhou Sen, "Can't I look for you if I have nothing?"

Zhou Sen was unable to resist the unreasonable woman and could only let Li Ning'er do whatever she wanted. In this way, the number of students in Zhou Sen's arithmetic class increased from three to four.

Zhou Sen spent an afternoon teaching Shen Qianrou, Li Ning'er and the other two students arithmetic for the first and second grade of elementary school. After they learned it, they were full of admiration for Zhou Sen, praising him as not only a fairy in poetry, but also a god of arithmetic. According to Zhou Sen's arithmetic method, counting rods are not needed at all. It is simple and quick to calculate. I wonder how much time Shen Qianrou will save.

In order to further consolidate the knowledge the four had learned, Zhou Sen even arranged for Zhao Tiezhu to deliver all the account books for today and to calculate the accounts in front of the four. Unexpectedly, Shen Qianrou usually had to calculate the accounts until midnight, but Zhou Sen only took half an hour to complete it. The four were dumbfounded.

Shen Qianrou was the most moved. In this way, she no longer had to calculate until late at night. Shen Yueer also learned arithmetic. In the future, when Shen Qianrou was too busy, she could also help calculate. Li Ninger was surprised at how Zhou Sen had such a magical arithmetic method. She kept asking Zhou Sen where he got it from. Zhou Sen perfunctorily said, "I learned it by chance in my dream." Li Ninger would never believe such a ridiculous statement easily, but since Zhou Sen didn't say anything, she couldn't do anything about him at this time. Vanilla looked at Zhou Sen with a doting look on her face. His Mu Mu was just strong.

For the next few days, Zhou Sen secretly went to Qianmutang to assist Shen Qianrou in handling the reform of Xiangmu Society, and took out his spare time to teach Shen Qianrou and her sister, Xiangcao, and Li Ning'er arithmetic knowledge in depth. In the end, Zhou Sen successfully taught the four of them all the elementary school arithmetic knowledge.

After Zhou Sen's intervention, Xiangmu Society quickly got back on track, and all matters became well organized, unlike before when things were so chaotic and busy. However, what bothered Zhou Sen was that Xiangmu Society's income and expenditure were obviously unbalanced, and there was a big funding loophole. It had been relying on everyone's private money and pawning of financial assets to maintain itself. If this continued, Xiangmu Society would not last long and would go bankrupt.

Finding new sources of funding is urgent.

Li Ning'er has been staying at the inn these days. She either pesters Zhou Sen to learn arithmetic or follows Xiangcao to learn swordsmanship. She has a clear understanding of Zhou Sen's relationship with Qianmu Hall of Xiangmu Society. However, under Zhou Sen's repeated requests, Li Ning'er promised Zhou Sen that she would never disclose the secrets of Xiangmu Society, especially the relationship between Zhou Sen and Xiangmu Society, even to her brother Li Qi. I don't know if Li Ning'er is a person who keeps his word, but she agreed to Zhou Sen very readily.

Zhou Sen had been immersed in work and study for many days, and so could Shen Qianrou, Shen Yueer, and Xiangcao. However, Li Ninger couldn't bear it. She had come out to find Zhou Sen and others to escape the monotonous days, but she didn't expect that they had suddenly become so monotonous.

Li Ninger dragged Zhou Sen and insisted that Zhou Sen accompany her for a few days before dealing with those boring things. Li Ninger described herself as pitiful, saying that she had finally escaped from Kyoto with the opportunity of Li Qi's investigation, so how could she stay in Qianmu Hall all day.

Shen Qianrou, Xiangcao, and Shen Yueer were all busy raising funds for Xiangmu Society, so Zhou Sen could hardly leave them alone to accompany Li Ninger. Zhou Sen asked Li Ninger to rest by herself, or to find other people to play with, but Li Ninger was determined to go with Zhou Sen. Li Ninger said disdainfully: "I have been with you these days, and I also know what Xiangmu Society is like. It's just money. Come play with me, and I will help you solve the money problem."

Zhou Sen was shocked. Did Li Ning'er think of himself as a gigolo? He was using money to hit him! Zhou Sen looked at Li Ning'er's exquisite and perfect face and endured it. If it were someone else, he would definitely get a big sinus and beat her so hard that she didn't know which direction to go.

Zhou Sen said that he would not accept a woman's gift of silver for no reason. Li Ning'er said generously that she could be considered as a shareholder. Li Ning'er actually knew how to invest. Zhou Sen did not refuse directly, but asked Li Ning'er how much silver she could provide. Xiangmu Society is now in a big deficit.

Li Ning'er raised his index finger and asked Zhou Sen to guess. Zhou Sen looked disdainful and asked for 100 taels. Li Ning'er shook his head. Zhou Sen sat upright and asked for 1000 taels. Li Ning'er continued to shake his head. Zhou Sen was a little afraid to continue. Li Ning'er calmly said taels of silver. How about that? Not only Zhou Sen was shocked, but also Xiangcao and Shen Yue'er, who had been watching the two people's play, were shocked.

Li Ning'er is so rich, she can easily ask for 10,000 taels of silver. Zhou Sen touched Li Ning'er's forehead and said, "10,000 taels of silver, Miss Shui, you are not having a fever, are you? Xiangmu Society is really short of money right now, this is not the time to joke around."

Li Ning'er shook Zhou Sen's hand off and said disdainfully: "Who is kidding you? It's just 10,000 taels of silver. I can afford it." Zhou Sen was so excited that he almost jumped up from his chair. He never thought that one day he would be lavished with money by a girl. If he had known earlier, he would have changed his career to become a gigolo.

If we get this ten thousand taels, it can indeed solve the urgent needs of Xiangmu Society. Not to mention a few days, it can even be used for a month.
