Professor Li’s Married Life Chapter 42:
This girl is really a good person, Li Chengye shook his head in his heart.
He took a book from the ledger in front of Gu Qingci, and opened it to read.
Sweep with your eyes, ten lines at a glance.
In Gu Qingci's industries, several Zhuangzi are located in the suburbs of Beijing. Half of the fields are in the surrounding villages, and the rest are in Barnyard County, which is relatively scattered.
The most valuable shops are in the east and west of the city.
Li Cheng went through it briefly, and he knew roughly how much property Gu Qingci had.
The field returns to the field, and a shop is a shop. These are naturally separate.
After roughly going through an account book, Li Chengye raised his eyes and first asked Gu Qingci if he knew which industries in her hands were the most profitable and promising.
Gu Qingci nodded: "The four shops my mother gave me are all prosperous shops facing the street, and the one each my father and grandmother gave me is also good. The most silver bills sent at the end of the year are from the fields in the countryside. It is said that it is a fixed renter, and there are examples from previous years. Zhuangzi has nothing, and all he sends is for food. The shopkeeper and the steward have also replied to each other."
There is an obvious problem here.
The money sent by the shopkeeper and the manager included the New Year's goods brought from the Zhuangzi. In Gu Qingci's view, this was income, so she didn't know what else to check.
Although she knew from her mother that she had to check the accounts, she actually had no idea, because she didn't even know whether a shop was losing money or not, so how could she find out if the servants were pocketing their own money? Greedy money.
To put it simply, Gu Qingci is ignorant of the internal situation of his existing industry.
Letting her look at the accounts is equivalent to asking a layman to suddenly work as an accountant for a company.
What can she see? Naturally, he only has two eyes on mosquito coils and is at a loss.
There is a sense of nowhere to start.
If no one teaches her, the next direction may be to pretend to look through the ledger, wait for the next time the shopkeeper comes, and then verbally say a few random words, and then tell people to leave. I don't know anything.
I only know that twice a year, shopkeepers will send some money over.
This is actually not to blame for Gu Qingci, after all, she is still young, and she has been growing up for more than ten years, and what she learned at home is what a young lady should learn, and poetry and songs cultivate her sentiment.
I have never worried about money, but suddenly I get married, and when I get married, I am forced to work in an instant and take over my dowry.
Managing your own business is basically the same as managing a small company in modern times.
The problem is that Gu Qingci is an airborne boss, she doesn't even know what her shop does.
Everything else is smeared, and the shop is basically controlled by the shopkeeper.
Li Cheng asked Gu Qingci again: "Are all the people working in these shops yours?"
Gu Qingci nodded: "Of course yes, everyone in the shop gave it together, just like my mother, the shop and the shopkeeper's deeds are here with me, and now they are placed in a box in my house .”
Li Cheng had an idea in his mind, thinking that it would be much easier this way.
Li Cheng first picked one of the shops as an example to tell Gu Qingci.
He looked at Gu Qingci, and slowly said word by word: "The reason why you don't know how to read the account is because you don't have a specific concept and figure in your mind, and you don't know how profitable a store should be in a year. How much, and I don’t know how much profit they made in the past few years. People only send money to you, but you don’t know whether it’s a profit or a loss, and you can’t know whether they have cheated from it.
So, if you want to understand the accounts, you not only need to look at the accounts of this year, but also find out the accounts of previous years, and then compare them. After that, you will understand. "
He said it simply, but Gu Qingci's eyes were wide open, and he looked a little suffocated, "Why is it so troublesome to read the account book?"
Li Cheng patted her on the head and smiled: "Silly girl, the purpose of checking the accounts is to check the accounts, and you will know it in your heart after checking the accounts. It's not for fun."
"However, each of these items is as complicated as bits and pieces. My eyes hurt when I read the last page, and I forget the previous page after reading it. How can I check it clearly?"
Li Cheng looked at Gu Qingci scratching her head in distress, and was too embarrassed not to help her.
Then he said: "Actually, it's not difficult. Those shopkeepers are all human beings. They deceive you when you are young and ignorant, and the account book deliberately makes you troublesome. If you are really fooled, I am afraid that you will never be able to buy it later." I can't control those shops anymore."
People are driven by interest, if the drive does not work, the interest is not large enough.
Isn’t there a sentence written in a book, which roughly means that if there is a 100% profit, the capitalists can take risks for it, and if there is a 200% profit, the capitalists They will flout the law, and if there is a 300% profit, then the capitalists will trample on everything in the world and risk the gallows.
Li Cheng took this seriously.
Interest can always induce people to do many things that you thought they would not do.
This small trouble in the ledger is not a problem, and it’s okay if you haven’t studied statistics. As long as you know how to make tables, it will be clear at a glance to list the data.
There was paper and a pen on the table, so Li Chengye drew out a form casually.
According to the month from January to December, the left vertical row is expanded one by one, and the income and expenditure are registered.
In the seemingly complicated ledger, in two quarters of an hour, all the numbers were filled in.
Looking at it again, it couldn't be clearer.
This account may seem extremely complicated, but once you organize it, you will find that there is not much useful information in it.
From another point of view, without data comparison and market research reference from previous years, this account book is not completely credible at present.
Gu Qingci saw with his own eyes that Li Chengze had transformed a booklet that was not too thin and not too thick into something drawn on a piece of paper. He was so shocked that he forgot to blink his eyes.
Li Cheng threw the ledger aside, and put the data sheet on the paper in front of Gu Qingci.
He said: "Look again, do you understand a lot, but you still have a headache?"
A book becomes a piece of paper, isn't it just simplifying the complexity!
In fact, it would be more intuitive to use Arabic numerals, but there are no Arabic numerals here, and counting is used, but it is not complicated.
Gu Qingci desperately shook her head, looking at Li Chengze with admiration in her eyes.
He said: "Sanggong, you are amazing!"
Li Cheng thought to himself that this girl knows how to seduce a man too much, and she might not be able to bear it any longer, so he coughed softly and said, "Let's list the accounts of your shops in this way first. After the new year, I will send you the account books of previous years, one by one, and fill in the numbers. The land property is easier, and the rent in previous years will be the same as usual..."
It was taught by Li Chengze in this way.
These projects, which were at a loss at the beginning, seem to be completely obedient, and everything is clear.
The frown turned into a smile.
Li Cheng accompanied Gu Qingci to settle accounts for half a day, and it was getting dark before he knew it.
When Yuzhu came to light the oil lamp, neither of them noticed.
Until the two of them are hungry.
Gu Qingci shouted outside: "Yuzhu pass the meal."
The two of them had dinner, and the weather was too cold to go out for a meal.
Gu Qingci thought of the clothes he had made for Li Chengze during the day, his eyes lit up, he got off the kang with his shoes and took Li Chengze's hand to the bedroom.
Opened the cupboard and took out all the new clothes, said triumphantly: "Master, let's take a look, do you look good?"
At a glance, it can be seen that it is a man's clothes, Li Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it for me?"
Gu Qingci nodded, "Yes!"
"Could it be that the official did it himself?"
When Gu Qingci heard this, she blushed a little, and said softly, "No...it was made by Gu Yu and Xiaoman in my room. They are sewing girls, and they are good at hand."
Li Cheng deliberately made a long sound, and said with a half-smile: "But I thought it was done by the officials themselves."
Gu Qingci was embarrassed, she cast her eyes around, then pulled Li Chengze to sit on the chair, she bent over and whispered a word into Li Chengze's ear.
After speaking, he immediately lowered his eyes and stopped looking at people.
Li Cheng heard it clearly, put his fist on his lips and grinned for a while.
What Gu Qingci said was, Xianggong, I will make you another underwear.
*
After Gu Qingci's childhood was over, Li Cheng said that he would take her to Taichi to see Xibing, as promised before.
Gu Qingci was so happy that she felt bored at home every day.
Nurse Zhang was a little worried, afraid that Gu Qingci would freeze, after all, the falling into the water hurt her a little bit.
Li Cheng didn't think so. Gu Qingci was able to freeze before, part of the reason was that the girl was so angry with herself that she deliberately didn't wear thick clothes to warm her shoes, and was blowing dry outside.
With Li Cheng this time, there will be no more problems.
Taichi is getting more and more lively at the end of the year, Gu Qingci said excitedly: "Last time I heard from Shu Yue that there is a new ice-playing female troupe in Taichi, and the ten or so performers are all seven or eight." This year-old female doll is so pretty, sir, let’s order that ice cream today, shall we?”
Li Cheng smiled lowly: "It's all up to you."
Gu Qingci is wearing a red skirt embroidered with black bamboo patterns on a red skirt today, with fluffy white hair around the cuffs. He didn't wear a high bun, but raised half of it and tied it up. Two small braids were braided on each side to hang next to his ears. He wore a pair of jade earrings, no gold ornaments, and only a white jade hairpin in the shape of a camellia. Bells and bells wear a series of things.
The whole thing looks lively and lovely.
He also put on a gorilla felt cape before going out.
This time I didn't bring the maid, so the two of us went out. Liu Da took a car and waited at the door.
In the past in Taichi, it took nearly half an hour to make a carriage, but now the city is full of excitement, with many people and vehicles. The carriage can only walk slowly on the street, so it took a little more effort.
But they came out to play, Li Chengye didn't care about Gu Qingci, let alone care about it.
When they reached Taichi, the two got out of the car and asked Liu Da to find a place to park by himself, or have some hot tea, and come back later.
Taichi is overcrowded, and more people form a busy area. Naturally, there are many small vendors who set up stalls to carry goods.
Gu Qingci was in a hurry, pulled Li Chengze and said quickly: "Mr., let's order the show quickly, or someone else will order it away later!"
At this time, it is very interesting to watch the ice play, especially in Taichi, which is very famous in winter.
This kind of event has a long history. Up to now, many ice-playing teams have been formed. Each ice-playing team has its own special program, some performing alone, and some performing by multiple people.
Nowadays, people watch a lot of multiplayer performances. Generally speaking, there are three to six people in a show, which is called multiplayer.
On the stage next to the Taichi Lake, there are many masters of the ice play team, waiting for the guests to come and order the show.
Gu Qingci was afraid that the girl team he wanted to see would be criticized, so he ran very fast.
There are only 30 stands for watching Xibing.
The rules for ordering teams are as follows, divided into private and non-privileged.
The price of booking is expensive, that is, if you order an ice show, all the seats in the stands are reserved, and others cannot add money to sit in.
The ones that don’t reserve the seats are that you order an ice play and only choose the few seats you want. The price is cheaper than the private seats, but the remaining seats can continue to be sold out.
The price of just ordering ice is still higher than the price of just buying a place.
When Gu Qingci found the girls' class, she realized that the ice had been opened.
Gu Qingci hastily asked: "Is there a private room?"
The host smiled and said no, there were still many seats, so Li Cheng chose two better seats, paid the money and took the ticket stubs, asked the host about the opening time, and left first.
Ice play is similar to modern figure skating. It is very interesting to watch this kind of performance, and here there are more tricks, closer to ice acrobatics, and more difficult.
Before the show started, Li Cheng estimated the girls' preferences, and bought a lot of snacks for Gu Qingci, such as fried glutinous rice sticky cake with chestnuts and the like.
Gu Qingci was extremely happy.
