Great Qin Shi Empress

== Cotton ==

Lin Qian looked at Ying Zheng in surprise: "The host of the plane trader in the second world finally found me! He also took out the Jenny loom and wanted to exchange gold with me!"

【That's the Jenny loom! 】

Ying Zheng watched as a box suddenly appeared on top of Lin Qian's head, and then Lin Qian, who was so excited that his facial features flew wildly, dragged Ying Zheng, a trumpet who had nothing to love, to turn around in circles.

He raised his eyebrows and was about to ask, when Lin Qian took the initiative to explain: "Although the Jenny loom is not as iconic as the steam engine, its importance cannot be ignored. The Jenny loom is also one of the cornerstones of the industrial revolution. Without the labor force liberated by the Jenny loom and the large amount of cheap cloth spun, those capitalist countries would not have been able to transport cotton cloth all over the world to dump and accumulate funds for the first industrial revolution!"

[To some extent, the Jenny loom is as important to the first industrial revolution as the steam engine. 】

Sounds like a good thing, but the problem is...

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian: "What is cotton cloth?"

amount……

Lin Qian was stunned, and suddenly realized that Huaxia hadn't started planting cotton yet.

But don't worry, she immediately opened the plane trader: "I do have a lot of gold in my hand, but we don't need the loom you sent over. We don't have cotton."

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked again, "What is cotton?"

Lin Qian turned around and explained: "Cotton is like...silk, no, it is similar to ramie. It is a cash crop that can be used to weave cloth. Currently, it should only be found in Central Asia and the Americas in our world, and China has not yet introduced it. .”

"According to the normal timeline, China's introduction of cotton should have been during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but it was still only planted in the frontier areas at the beginning, and it was not until the end of the Song Dynasty that it began to be planted in large quantities in the Central Plains."

"The most important role of cotton for ordinary people is not to weave cloth, but to keep out the cold."

Before cotton was introduced into China, the nobles could keep out the cold by wearing many clothes, or fur coats made of fur, and even lying on the couch every day in the cold winter, but the common people were not so cold. Fortunately, the only way to keep out the cold is to add kapok interlayers, stuff reeds, or even sew a few more pockets on the clothes to keep out the cold.

The poor people at the bottom can't even wear a few more linen clothes to keep out the cold, because they simply can't afford so many clothes.As hard currency, cloth can even be directly used as coins for trading.

Yingzheng may not know how much cotton has changed the people, but he knows how difficult it is for the people to live in winter.

He immediately became serious: "Madam asked if I could exchange cotton seeds from the other party."

Only when they get the seeds and grow cotton by themselves, can they not be controlled by others in the future.

Lin Qian didn't expect it to be so deep, but she also instinctively wanted to introduce cotton to China in advance, because cotton is really important to the common people.

But the host on the opposite side started to pretend to be dead again.

Lin Qian waited for a long time, and even sent countless voice messages to the other party, but she didn't get a single-sentence response.

Lin Qian: "..."

No, maybe there is something wrong with the second host, right?She is going to complain!

Thinking of the waiting for more than half a year, Lin Qian became angry for a while, and directly opened the customer service channel of the plane trader: "What is the matter with the master of the plane trader in the second world that you matched with me? ? After the two worlds are connected, it’s okay to be unable to speak a word for more than half a year, but now they finally got in touch, and the other side suddenly lost contact?”

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows. Can Lin Qian still contact the owner of the plane trader?

The customer service replied quickly: "After receiving the host's complaint, we immediately sent someone to investigate the situation of the owner of the number xxxx plane trader, and found that the other party was in a state of being hunted down, and it was not intentional that he did not reply to the host's message."

Lin Qian:? ? ?

She widened her eyes: "What kind of world is on the other side, and there is still a chase?"

Ying Zheng also turned his head and looked over.

The customer service didn't make a fuss, and replied directly: "It is similar to the living environment of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in the host's world, but different from the host's world, the Jenny loom in the host's world was accidentally invented by an ordinary weaver. , and the looms in the other world were invented by carpenters supported by nobles, so the source of looms was cut off before it was widely spread, and the cotton business was directly monopolized by the nobility.”

Lin Qian: "..."

The customer service said again: "The host of xxxx stole the blueprint of the textile machine some time ago, so he was jointly hunted down by many nobles."

Lin Qian: "..."

[Steal blueprints?Hunted by nobles?This experience is magnificent enough! 】

[However, I stole the blueprint some time ago, and I only thought of trading with me today, probably because I have no money? 】

When Ying Zheng heard the heartbeat, a smile flashed in his eyes.

Lin Qian's voice was a little dry: "Then, why didn't he contact me before? I contacted him, but he didn't reply?"

The tone of the customer service was somewhat innocent: "Host xxxx seems to regard the plane trader as something like the temptation of the devil, so every time he contacts the new world, he will go to the church to live for a while and accept the baptism of God. .When he first got the plane trader, he went to live in the church for a full year before he dared to trade with the first world he connected to."

Lin Qian: "..."

In the [-]th and [-]th centuries, it's just... quite normal haha...

The customer service reassured: "Don't worry about the host, after the host of xxxx escapes successfully, I can continue to trade with you."

Lin Qian: "Well, although it doesn't seem very kind to ask this way, but... if the guy who was hunted down unfortunately dies, can I still make deals with this world? Or will the plane trader match me with another one?" A world that can be traded?"

The customer service seems to have encountered this problem before, and they responded very quickly: "If the host of xxxx dies, the plane trader will unbind it, and then randomly bind to another person on the plane."

Lin Qian was a little nervous: "In this case, won't someone kill someone to seize the treasure?"

The customer service emphasized: "Random! Don't worry the host, the binding behavior of the plane trader is completely random and cannot be snatched away!"

Lin Qian breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great."

……

Lin Qian told Ying Zheng verbatim about the conversation she had with the customer service, and then carefully watched his reaction.

Ying Zheng glanced at her with a half-smile, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the trumpet Lin Qian above her head who not only sprinkled flowers everywhere, but also flaunted his might in front of the trumpet Ying Zheng with her belly sticking out. itch.

He never wronged his temper, he raised his hand and grabbed Lin Qian's cheek.

Lin Qian: "!!!"

She widened her eyes: "Are you baring?!!!"

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian, who had round eyes and a puffy tone, and couldn't hold back, and let out a "puchi" laugh.

Lin Qian: "!!!"

……

Everything else is fine, that is...

They estimated that they would have to wait a while before they could start their journey.

Ying Zheng glanced at Lin Qian, stopped the carriage, and ordered Meng Tian to be called: "Go to Zhao Palace and get some gold ornaments. Remember, you want pure gold ornaments, the more the more."

Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, and took the order to leave.

Lin Qian was curious: "Why do you want to take the gold ornaments from King Zhao's Palace?"

Ying Zheng's answer was very realistic: "I don't have any gold on me."

Lin Qian was surprised: "How can you not have gold on you?"

Ying Zheng was slightly dumbfounded: "The widow doesn't like those too gorgeous colors, so I never wear gold jewelry on my body."

Lin Qian glanced at Ying Zheng, and really didn't find any gold.

Soon, Meng Tian led a group of soldiers to move a cart of gold ornaments, and pulled them out of the Zhao Palace.

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "It should be enough."

Lin Qian: "..."

……

In the evening, the second host finally replied to Lin Qian's message——

"As long as you can buy the xx textile machine, I can give you cotton seeds. As long as you give me enough gold, I can also sell you cheap cotton cloth."

【Here comes the news! 】

Lin Qian had just finished his dinner when he saw the message from the other party, and hurriedly took Lin Mo to the tent where Ying Zheng was resting.

Ying Zheng thought that Lin Qian would come over tomorrow, and after sighing, he was ready for insomnia tonight, but unexpectedly, Meng Tian came in after a while and told him that it was Lin Qian who asked to see him?

He raised his eyebrows, let Lin Qian invite him into the tent, and at the same time waved away the other people in the tent.

Lin Qian has always been straightforward, and when he saw Ying Zheng, he said, "The second host just sent a message saying that as long as the gold supply is sufficient, he can not only give us the Jenny loom, but also sell us cotton seeds and cotton cloth. "

Ying Zheng fell into deep thought: "It seems that he is really short of money."

Lin Qian understood: "After all, being hunted down, there must be more places to spend money than ordinary people."

Ying Zheng nodded, instead of continuing on this topic, he called Meng Tian in instead: "Go and fetch a gold ornament, it will be useful to me."

Meng Tian glanced at Lin Qian, and suddenly understood——

【No wonder His Majesty doesn't like gold and wants to take away the gold ornaments from King Zhao's Palace. It turns out it's because Mrs. Lin likes it! 】

Ying Zheng: "..."

Sometimes I really don't understand what is going on in Meng Tian's mind.

Luckily, Meng Tian was also distracted in his heart, and his actions were unambiguous, and he quickly brought a gold cup over.

Ying Zheng played with it for a while, and after Meng Tian stepped back, he handed it over to Lin Qian.

After scanning, Lin Qian sent the picture to the other party: "Is this gold cup enough to exchange for the drawing of the textile machine and cotton seeds? How much cotton can I exchange?"

The other party seemed to have been waiting for news from Lin Qian, and immediately replied: "The drawings are more expensive."

Lin Qian glanced at Ying Zheng, and said confidently: "I have a carpenter with good skills here. It is the same for me if you sell drawings and real objects, but the textile machine occupies a large area, which is inconvenient for me now." Just accept it."

The other party also seemed to understand the fact that the technical content of the Jenny textile machine was not particularly high, and that a good carpenter could directly copy it after dismantling it. After a while of silence, they still sent a picture of the drawing of the Jenny textile machine , and a bag of cotton seeds.

but……

The other party explained seriously: "I don't have any money, and I can't get cotton cloth for you for the time being. But the cotton seed is a long-staple cotton seed that I managed to get. It is definitely worth a gold cup with the loom."

Lin Qian didn't expect such a surprise, and immediately sent the gold cup to the other party.

[The second host is also a big baby, that long-staple cotton is the best cotton variety! 】

Ying Zheng frowned: Big baby?

== Embarrassment ==

Lin Qian handed over the drawings of cotton and textile machines to Ying Zheng.

After reading it, Ying Zheng thought for a moment, but returned the drawings of cotton and textile machines to Lin Qian: "Since you have entered the officialdom as a woman and also served as Taicang Cheng, you should do your job in this position." Produce some results. It just so happens that Taicang Prime Minister is in charge of food and farming, and cotton is also within your jurisdiction."

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously thought that it would be the same to leave it to him.

But meeting Ying Zheng's serious eyes, she froze for a moment, and quickly realized——

If you just take out the seeds, even if the planting method comes from her mouth, after the cotton is planted, her credit in the eyes of others will not be conspicuous.Only when she really appeared in front of people and let everyone see herself, other people would think of her when they mentioned cotton.

Lin Qian no longer hesitated, and accepted the drawings of cotton seeds and Jenny's loom.

……

The second host was very wary of the plane trader, and disappeared instantly after getting the gold cup, never answering Lin Qian's question.

Lin Qian wanted to ask him many questions, but she had no choice but to give up.

After returning to Xianyang, Lin Qian rested for two days, and then went to the government office where Zhisu Neishi was located to make an official report after seeking Yingzheng's consent. Sun Taicang, who had little contact with each other, discussed and promoted the cultivation of sweet potatoes together.

Compared with the joy of seeing Lin Qian before, when Sun Taicang saw Lin Qian again this time, his attitude was much more awkward.

It's not that she has a bad attitude towards Lin Qian, it's just...

No matter how Sun Taicang looked at Lin Qian, or when discussing important matters with her, there was an indescribable embarrassment.

Lin Qian was made uncomfortable by his attitude, and even faintly began to retreat.

But she is very responsible. Even though she was made uncomfortable by Sun Taicang's attitude, because the sweet potato planting time could not be delayed any longer, she bit the bullet and ignored Sun Taicang's weird attitude, and devoted herself to the relationship between sweet potato and cotton. Promote with planting above.

The most important thing is the cuttings of the ten catties of sweet potato vines in Lin Qian's hands.

It is now the middle of September, and in half a month it will be another Qin calendar year.

If the popularization and planting of sweet potatoes cannot be completed within half a month, Lin Qian and the people who have been selected to grow sweet potatoes may still be busy in the fields when other people are celebrating the New Year happily.

After Lin Qian returned to Xianyang, she found that the climate in Xianyang was not suitable for planting autumn sweet potatoes, so the sweet potato vines in her hands could not be planted in her ten acres of land.

If you want to plant it, you have to go further south.

Yingchuan County, which is close to Xianyang, as well as Ba County, Shu County and Qianzhong County are more suitable.

Regarding where the sweet potatoes should be sent for planting, Lin Qian prefers Qianzhong County.

When discussing with Sun Taicang, Lin Qian put forward his own idea: "Since Shu County, Luoyang and other places have grown two high-yielding crops, potatoes and corn, and have already made profits by selling potatoes and corn grains. Should sweet potato vines be handed over to counties that have never had the opportunity to grow the first batch of potatoes and corn before? Like Qianzhong County.”

Sun Taicang was stunned for a moment: "Ma'am, do you have to do this?"

Lin Qian quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, I'm just putting forward my own ideas, but because I don't know much about the situation in Qin country, the final decision still depends on your opinion, Sun Taicang."

She admitted her shortcomings, "I'm new to government affairs, and I still don't understand many things."

Sun Taicang, who was still worried about Lin Qian's insistence on going his own way, heaved a sigh of relief: "Madam's idea is actually feasible, but you have to know that even if there are high-yielding crops such as potatoes and corn in front, it is impossible to persuade the whole family to make a living. It will take some time for the people in the fields to plant a brand new crop.”

"It's not that this time can't be spent, but it's unnecessary."

Sun Taicang took a careful look at Lin Qian: "Didn't you say that if the sweet potatoes are not planted, it will be too late?"

Lin Qian nodded: "If you plant it now, you can almost harvest it before the frost. If it is later, when the weather cools down and frost begins, the sweet potatoes in the field may not be ripe yet."

After a frost, sweet potatoes will not grow again.

It's not that there is no place to grow winter sweet potatoes, but they can only be grown in the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River——

The state of Qin has not yet conquered that area.

Sun Taicang nodded: "That's it. If Xianyang is not suitable for planting autumn sweet potatoes, Beizhi actually thinks that it is best to plant them in Xianyang nearby. One is that the distance is closer and there is no need to waste time; the other is that the people of Xianyang have enjoyed potatoes and sweet potatoes before. The convenience of corn, if there are new high-yield grains for them to plant, it doesn’t take too much time to convince them, and they have saved some money by selling the seeds of these two grains, and they are more willing than others Take a risk; three, they've already planted a crop of potatoes before, and they happen to have some vacant land."

After finishing speaking, he said earnestly, "Similarly, humble officials are more inclined to find people who grow autumn sweet potatoes in Shu County. If you want insurance, the people in Berkshire are more suitable than Qianzhong County. Berkshire is close to Shu County. The lives and changes of the people in Shu County can be seen more clearly, and it is easier to persuade them."

Once Lin Qian heard what Sun Taicang said was logical, she no longer insisted on her own thoughts: "Then it will be planted in Berkshire?"

Sun Taicang smiled: "The humble job will send the sweet potato vines over."

Lin Qian hesitated: "Do I, Taicang need to follow?"

Sun Taicang was stunned for a moment, and nodded: "Although the number of sweet potatoes is small, it is still a brand new crop. I can't rest assured if I don't go and see it with my own eyes."

Lin Qian hesitated and wanted to speak: "Then should I also..."

"Ah?" Sun Taicang looked at Lin Qian's expression, and suddenly realized, "Does Madam also want to go with her?"

He immediately became embarrassed: "This... is unnecessary. After all, there are not many sweet potato vines, and it is enough for one person to follow. I am used to this kind of thing, and I am familiar with the road. I will leave for Berkshire tomorrow. Come back years ago. If Madam follows, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you well..."

"Besides, it's almost Chinese New Year, and His Majesty is still in Xianyang, but you went to Berkshire with the humble official. If you can't make it back before the year, wouldn't the humble official become the sinner who delayed your reunion with His Majesty..."

It took Lin Qian a while to understand what he meant.

Lin Qian was speechless: How could she and Ying Zheng use the word "reunion" at the moment? It's strange.

Sun Taicang must have misunderstood something, right?

But I have to say that what Sun Taicang said is indeed reasonable. The sweet potato vine in her hand is only about ten catties. It is already a great face to be able to dispatch a Taishiling. Cheng, some resources are wasted.

Besides, it's not like she doesn't have other opportunities to exercise——

When this batch of sweet potato vines is harvested next year, plus the sweet potatoes in her hands, is she afraid that she won't have the opportunity to participate in the promotion and planting of sweet potatoes?

So Lin Qian didn't make things difficult for Taicang Order, and acquiesced to his arrangement.

After handing over the sweet potato vines to Taicang Ling, Lin Qian took Lin Mo back to Xianyang Palace.

When Ying Zheng heard that she was back, he sent someone to call her over: "Today, I went to report to the government office that governs Su Nei Shi, did you encounter any trouble?"

Lin Qian hesitated for a while, but still said nothing: "It's okay, Sun Taicang is very kind."

Ying Zheng glanced at her in surprise, and after a long while, after Lin Qian was stared at uncomfortably, he chuckled lightly: "You really surprised me..."

Lin Qian was at a loss: "Huh?"

Ying Zheng shook his head: "I heard that the kitchen has researched many new dishes today, do you want to have dinner with me?"

Lin Qian's eyes lit up in an instant: "If you want, is it made with the onion, ginger and garlic seasonings that you traded with Hua before? Did you cook in an iron pan as I said before? There are also deep-fried ones. The food is really delicious..."

Ying Zheng saw that she didn't look hazy at all, and shook his head with a smile: "I heard that she made stir-fried vegetables, just wait and see."

When Lin Qian heard that he could eat stir-fried vegetables, his mind was filled with troubles that had already been buried in the deepest part of the food, and he couldn't think of them at all.

The world is big and the food is the biggest.

==·Entry·==

Lin Qian didn't take what happened during the day to heart, and Sun Taicang mentioned what happened during the day to his wife after returning home: "I thought Bazi Lin would be additionally named Taicang Cheng by His Majesty because he was dissatisfied with himself. I have taken all the credit for it, and when I met him today, I was still a little embarrassed and awkward, but I didn't want Bazi Lin's attitude to remain the same, even more humble than before."

His wife was a little curious: "At least she is His Majesty's favorite concubine, how can she be humble towards you as an ordinary official?"

Sun Taicang smiled: "If it weren't for the fact that Lin Bazi hadn't rashly intervened in things he didn't understand in the few times he got along with Lin Bazi, he would have a normal attitude towards officials like me and ordinary soldiers, even with a bit of respect. , this time Lin Bazi took out the sweet potato vines, I will not take the initiative to take over."

Working with a woman, who is also His Majesty's concubine, is easy to cause gossip.

If it wasn't for the previous experience, Sun Taicang would not be willing to take over such a hot potato even if he knew that he would get a lot of credit for successfully promoting sweet potatoes.

Fortunately, Bazi Lin's attitude remained the same as before.

His wife laughed: "Isn't this very good?"

Sun Taicang nodded, then shook his head again: "Today Lin Ba tentatively offered to go to Berkshire with me, although I dissuaded her, but next year, I'm afraid I will have more opportunities to work with her. "

He paused, helplessly, "It's not that I mind her being a woman, it's just that it's not convenient enough."

The news that several counties in Zhaodi had appointed a large number of women as officials due to lack of manpower had already spread throughout the court following Ying Zheng's return, and along with it came the news of those women's outstanding abilities .

Taicang Ling is often in contact with Lin Qian, knowing that she is not an empty-hearted person, so he would not particularly resist and mind working with her.

but……

It's free to travel together.

His wife hesitated for a moment, but she said something fair for Lin Qian: "Even if you two travel together, you won't share food, clothing, housing, and transportation. How inconvenient can it be? I think she has the courage to go out to do errands as a woman. It's already very remarkable. If I were in Mrs. Lin's position, I wouldn't dare to take the initiative to go out to do errands."

Sun Taicang was stunned for a moment, then laughed for a while: "You are right. But if Lin Bazi really wants to secure the position of Taicang Cheng, he will go out to do errands sooner or later, and he will not be swayed by my thoughts. Let's talk about it after something happens. .”

Early the next morning, Lin Qian left the palace to send Sun Taicang after breakfast.

After they left, Lin Qian followed the other colleagues back to the government office.

She met Zhi Su Nai Shi.

Although it wasn't the first time she saw Zhi Su Nai Shi, but this was the first time she saw him as a subordinate. When standing opposite Zhi Su Nai Shi, she inevitably felt a little nervous and excited.

Seeing her nervousness, Zhi Su Neishi couldn't help laughing: "It's not the busy season for farming, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Your daily work in the government office is to sort out some account books from previous years, check the grain in stock, and collect some. There is no need to worry too much about trivial matters such as old accounts."

Lin Qian nodded seriously, but her mood still couldn't return to normal——

This was the first time in her past and present lives that she was seriously engaged in work, and it was hard not to be affected by her mood.

Seeing this, Naji Suuchi shook his head helplessly, took Lin Qian to the office in person, and then ordered someone to throw her a lot of bamboo slips: "This is the work for the last half month of this year, check it out early It's easy when you're done."

Lin Qian looked at the bamboo slips in front of him and widened his eyes in horror: "So many?"

Zhi Su Neishi was stunned for a moment: "It's only about forty volumes, isn't that a lot?"

Lin Qian was at a loss: This is only about forty volumes?

Zhi Su Nei Shi didn't understand Lin Qian's thoughts, and thought she was frowning at the easy things, so he couldn't help but frowned: Because she was approaching the end of the year when she first joined the job, Zhi Su Nei Shi had already taken good care of her, dividing the work that originally belonged to Taicang Cheng Almost ninety percent of it was given to other people, but some simple accounting work was left for her.And even if the accounts were liquidated, only half of them were left for her.

If you have to shout too much for such a small amount of work...

Zhi Su Nei Shi secretly said: He is afraid that he will go to see His Majesty.

Lin Qian said in time: "Don't worry about Zhisu Neishi, I, Beizhi, will definitely find out the accounts as soon as possible."

There is some hesitation in governing millet internal history.

In order to prove himself, Lin Qian immediately took a roll of account books to read.

Limited by the length of the bamboo slips and wooden slips, the content of this account book is not only in a minimalist mode, but also the recorded content is quite random. Not only is it not classified according to time, income and expenditure, items, etc., but they are all crowded together. There is no punctuation mark, and the accounts may be mistaken if you are not careful.

It's not clear at all, let alone clear at a glance.

Lin Qian looked at it for a while, only to feel dizzy: Is the account record too confusing?

She raised her head in embarrassment: "Zhi Su Neishi, may I ask for help?"

It is obviously impossible to find a way to invent paper now, but she is also worried that she will make a mistake if she settles the accounts like this. Not only will the work be in vain, but all the work will be overthrown and recalculated again.

Zhi Su Nei Shi didn't make it difficult for her: "When each official is on duty, he can bring a certain number of followers."

It is said to be an entourage, but it can also be called a staff member or a retainer.

Otherwise, how could Zhisu Neishi, who is in charge of the national granary, have only four subordinate officials under him, how could he be busy?

Lin Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked the other party for leave, and then went back to the palace to seek the consent of Ying Zheng and Lin Mo himself, and brought out Lin Mo and the sand table she used when she was a child.

Then the two sisters picked up a volume of account books and wrote the accounts one by one on the sand table according to the time.

After finishing each volume, Lin Qian began to settle accounts.

After calculating the content of one volume, Lin Mo smoothed out the sand table and handed it to Lin Mo to continue to organize and record it, while she went to another sand table to start the calculation.

The advantage of this method is that it is efficient, the accounts are clear and there is no mistake, and the daily income and expenditure are classified, which makes it more convenient to calculate the accounts.

With Lin Mo as his helper, Lin Qian calculated almost twelve volumes of accounts in one day.

The next day, Lin Qian brought out a bigger sand table from the palace.

She divided the sand table into two halves, one half is income, and the other half is expenditure. It is more convenient and quicker to calculate the accounts than yesterday. In just one day, 23 volumes of accounts were calculated. Adding the [-] volumes completed yesterday, there is only There are less than ten volumes of account books.

Moreover, the accounts compiled by Lin Qian are not quite the same as those of other people——

She divided the general ledger into two volumes according to income and expenditure, and classified them into categories according to time and items. Although limited by the recording tools, it is still not clear at a glance, but comparing the two volumes, the accounts should be clear. few.

On the third day, before noon, Lin Qian finished all the accounts.

After confirming that there was no problem with the number, Lin Qian directly ordered someone to take the account book to Zhisu Neishi's office, and put the general ledger recorded by himself beside him: "Zhisu Neishi, I have already calculated all the accounts. This is the ledger."

Zhi Su Neishi also needs to calculate the general ledger for a year, and he has been calculating for almost half a month, and he is already dizzy, and his eyes are blurred when looking at people.

Not only him, but also his disciples, staff and officials are not much different from his status.

But look at Lin Qian, hey, his face is radiant!High morale!

Zhisu Neishi: "..."

He almost subconsciously thought that Lin Qian was making fun of him.

After all, they were accounts sent from all over the country. Even though Zhi Aunaishi didn't send too many accounts to take care of her newbie, an official like him who often touches the accounts couldn't pat his chest to guarantee that he only brought With one helper, more than 40 books of accounts can be calculated within three days.

What's more, a newcomer like Lin Qian who has never touched accounts before?

But he was able to achieve the position of one of the nine ministers in the state of Qin, which selects talents by virtue, at least he has real skills and can hold his breath.

Even though he had doubts in his heart, he never opened his mouth hastily. Instead, he frowned and picked up the ledger sent by Lin Qian, and opened it casually with a critical attitude.

Then--

Ok?

Zhi Aunaishi sat up straight after reading the accounts for the day, and after making mental calculations to confirm that the data was correct, his hand holding the bamboo slips trembled slightly.After reading the accounts for a month, he immediately put down the account books and looked at Lin Qian excitedly: "Did you come up with this method of recording accounts yourself?"

Lin Qian froze for a moment, then shook his head hesitantly: "No, I also learned it from others."

Seriously speaking, it is because the various data tables that I see every time I go online are recorded in this way, so even if Lin Qian has not studied systematically, he still has some superficial understanding of recording accounts.

Lin Qian didn't know the more complicated accounting methods, but this basic recording method was not difficult.

Ji Suuchi was particularly excited: "Can you tell me who this person is? Has he written a certain book? Is he still alive today? Do he accept students to study? How many students have he taught? Where are those students now? "

Zhi Su Nei Shi asked a series of questions like a cannonball, which made Lin Qian panic: "Zhi Su Nei Shi, he is not alive."

The internal history of the millet was sluggish at once.

Lin Qian whispered: "This method is not difficult. After reading it, you should immediately understand the method I use to keep accounts. Don't worry, just use it directly."

Zhi Su Neishi glanced at Lin Qian: "You don't mind being learned by others?"

Lin Qian shook her head: "What does it matter? It would be great if it can lighten everyone's burden. It would be even better if it can be promoted nationwide..."

==·Industry·==

Because of a simple bookkeeping method, Lin Qian successfully saved the hair of Zhi Su Neishi and his servants and officials, lightened their work, and allowed her to gain their approval.

By the time Sun Taicang returned to Xianyang from central Guizhou, Lin Qian had already gotten to know almost everyone in the Su Nei Shifu Yamen.

Lin Qian also survived the last court meeting of the King of Qin in 18 years quite smoothly.

Soon, it was New Year's Eve.

Last year, she didn't experience the Qin Dynasty's Spring Festival in person, but this year Lin Qian wanted to go out of the palace to experience it no matter what.

It has been a while since the Zhao Kingdom fell, and the internal affairs of the Qin Kingdom have been sorted out. There will be no more accidents, so Ying Zheng nodded and agreed to Lin Qian's request to leave the palace.

But at this time of the Chinese New Year, apart from the large number of people, there are not many interesting projects, because many things have not been invented yet.

On the contrary, the Nuo opera at this time is worth watching.

Lin Qian took Lin Mo for a stroll from morning to evening, and finally returned to the palace with longing.

Before going to bed, Lin Qian opened the plane trader——

The happy event is coming!

Both Hua and No. [-] host sent her messages.

Because Hua knew that Lin Qian was celebrating Chinese New Year today, she specially sent her a message of congratulations, and by the way sent her two new crops that she just found——

Peanuts and Peppers.

There is no need to mention how surprised Lin Qian was when he saw these two things, and decided to return the gift on the spot.

But before Lin Qian figured out what gift he was going to return, he discovered that the second host had sent another big deal——

"I recently got a batch of cotton and linen coarse cloth. Do you want it? Two of the gold cups from last time can be exchanged."

Behind the voice, is another photo.

Lin Qian opened it and saw that it was a warehouse full of cloth.

[My God, is this person going to rob someone else's warehouse?There are so many cloths that only need two gold cups? 】

She thought so, so she asked.

But I didn't want the other party to answer: "You think too much, these are the cloths I bought with the gold cup you gave me earlier. The owner of the cloth is a squire who has taken refuge in the aristocrat who monopolizes the textile machine in XX. We got in touch and signed an order for [-] pieces of cotton cloth with the other party. The greedy squire wanted to make more money, so he mixed three quarters of hemp into the cotton cloth, but the nobles of other countries saw through it at a glance. , directly shot him to death."

"The squire's children were worried that the whole family would be involved, so they decided to sell the cloth at a low price and move overnight."

"But since no one wants to offend the great nobleman who killed his father except me, the wanted criminal who can quickly dispose of this batch of cloth, the squire's child can only agree that I will exchange all the cloth with a gold cup."

Lin Qian: "!!!"

Such a good thing, why didn't it come to her?

That's a warehouse of cloth!

And she had looked carefully just now, and almost one-third of the cloth inside was still printed, and the price was not at the same level as plain cloth.

Lin Qian paused, and suddenly came to her senses——

Although it is not cheaper than the second host, but two gold cups can buy back such a warehouse of cloth, she is also making a lot of money!

Lin Qian hurriedly texted him back: "Yes, please, don't rush to trade with other people, I will give you the gold cup right away!"

After speaking, she immediately got up and got dressed.
