A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 270 Account Reconciliation 3

Zhang Xingyun looked at the group of people sitting in the study. Each of them had a pen and paper in front of them. When he was standing at the door just now, he seemed to hear them muttering something.

"Yueyue, what are you doing? So many people are sitting in the study."

Zhang Yunyue smiled and said, "Brother, I am teaching them the multiplication table. You know how useful it is when calculating accounts and looking at account books."

Mo Yan also noticed Zhang Xingyun standing at the door, so he stood up and walked over to the two of them: "Xingyun, long time no see."

"Ayan, you must learn this multiplication table carefully. It will bring you many benefits."

"Yes, I know. I discovered it a long time ago. Don't worry!"

"Okay then, you guys practice first, I won't bother you for now, we can talk after you finish practicing."

"Row."

As soon as Zhang Xingyun left, everyone continued to study.

This is more than a month.

Zhang Xingyun took his guards and went to three counties at once.

Zhang Xingyun returned to his room and took out the account book that recorded the orders.

I plan to calculate how many orders the workshop has signed with various grocery stores during this period.

When he left home, he took away forty or fifty carriages of goods.

Half of the goods were left in the city, and the rest were taken away when they left, ready to be supplied to the grocery store with which they had signed the new contract.

However, even though the cargo on more than 20 horse-drawn carriages seemed like a lot, it was still not enough to meet the needs of grocery stores in three counties.

Zhang Xingyun flipped through the quantities recorded in the account book.

After some calculation, I found that I still needed another seven or eight thousand kilograms of goods.

The weight of the workshop goods still needed was recorded.

I can communicate with Zhang Xingzhong when I get home.

Put down the ledger.

Zhang Xingyun thought that everyone could rest for two or three days in the city and then prepare to return to the village.

Suddenly I felt impatient.

It has been almost two months since I left home.

I don’t know how she has been doing in the past two months, or whether anyone has bullied her and her brother.

He took out another small box from the package.

Opening the box, Zhang Xingyun looked at the hairpin lying quietly inside. He imagined how it would look like when worn on Shen Luo's hair, and smiled unconsciously.

I came across this hairpin by chance when I was looking for a grocery store cooperation in another county. The moment I saw it, I felt that it was a perfect match for Shen Luo.

So Zhang Xingyun bought it without hesitation.

"bang bang bang"

"My Lord, dinner is ready, you can eat now."

The sound of Liu Wenke knocking on the door interrupted Zhang Xingyun's thoughts.

"Okay, I understand. By the way, have Yueyue and the others come out of the study?"

"In reply to the eldest master, the young lady and the others have already come out and are waiting for you in the main hall."

"Okay, I'll come right away."

Cover the box containing the hairpin and put it back into the bag.

Zhang Xingyun left the room and headed towards the main hall.

"Yueyue, Ayan, Uncle Li."

"Brother, come and sit down, it's time to eat."

Zhang Xingyun walked quickly to the table and sat down.

Everyone started to eat and talk.

"Ayan, how do you feel after learning the multiplication table today? Do you think the multiplication table is pretty cool?"

Mo Yan nodded: "Yes, I didn't expect this so-called multiplication table to be so useful. It can be used every day in life. For example, when buying things, it is much more convenient than an abacus. It will also be much more convenient to check accounts in the future."

Zhang Yunyue looked up at Zhang Xingyun and said, "Brother, how was your outing this time?"

"Don't worry, everyone is now familiar with how to negotiate cooperation with grocery stores. All the goods we brought out this time have been sold out, and we have signed a lot of orders.

This time, we visited three counties. Next time we come back, we will try to visit all the remaining counties within two months."

Zhang Yunyue was surprised and said, "Brother, you are becoming more and more skilled. Before, you could only visit one county town at most in a month, but now you can visit three counties in a month."

“Before, it was always me, Xiaohao, or Xiaochao who went to negotiate cooperation with the grocery store. But now, the guards are probably used to seeing us negotiate cooperation before, so they can also go on stage to communicate with the grocery store. Therefore, our speed has increased a lot this month.

Moreover, this time we brought back 40 or 50 carts of dried chilies, which will support the workshop for a while."

"Brother, do you think you have enough manpower now? Do you want to recruit some more people? We will have to go to other states in the future. If that happens, we will definitely have to leave dozens of people here in Yunzhou to be responsible for the delivery of orders to various counties and towns at any time.

Just like you said, if we recruit people earlier, we can train them. Then when we go to other states, they can help us negotiate cooperation, and then progress will be faster."

Zhang Xingyun thought about what Yueyue said and felt that it made sense. Just look at everyone’s performance this month and you will know. If the manpower is well trained, more time can be saved.

By then, the workshop's chili oil will cover other cities faster.

In addition, transporting goods in the future will also require a large number of people. It would be best if they had a fixed group of people responsible for a city, so that there would not be chaos.

"Yueyue, you are right. I know what to do. I will discuss it with Uncle Zhao and the others when the time comes."

"Okay, big brother, it's fine as long as you know it. Anyway, you have always been in charge of this guard team."

"Ah."

Zhang Yunyue said, "Oh, you've been talking so much that you've delayed your meal. Come on, eat, or the food will get cold."

Li Da joked, "Yueyue, the weather is hot now, the food won't get cold in a short time, haha."

"Hahahahaha."

When Li Da said this, everyone laughed.

"Brother, this time I have Ah Yan and the others with me, and we will go back with you in two days."

"Hmm? You're going back to the village too? You're going to do something, right?"

Zhang Yunyue shook her head: "Xiaofeng is going to take an exam soon, so I thought I'd go back to cheer him up and go home to see grandpa and grandma. I plan to stay in the county and wait for Xiaofeng to finish his exam before going home together."

"Okay, by the way, when is Xiaofeng's entrance exam?"

No one around me has ever taken the college entrance examination, so they only know the approximate time, but not the exact time.

At this moment.

Mo Yan said, "It usually starts on the eighth day of the eighth month, lasts for three days, and ends at 3 p.m. on the tenth day."

Zhang Xingyun: "Today is the first day of the new year. If we leave the day after tomorrow on the third day, we will arrive in Chengyang County on the fifth day. So, Yueyue, you can't stay in the county for a few days anyway, so you and I will accompany Xiaofeng to the county to take the exam.

Anyway, it won't take two or three days. When we get to the county town, I'll let the guards go back first and ask them to talk to Cousin Zhong about how much goods they need to prepare. We'll go back to the village after the exam, and then the goods for the workshop will be almost ready."
