As for Du Gou and Wei Yuanchun's wedding date and various arrangements, Du Qi did not participate and left it to Du Ruhui. After all, this required Du Ruhui to make the decision. As a junior, he could not interfere.
After sending off Wei Yuanchun and Wei Shuyu, Du Qi went to the bank.
At present, everything in the bank was running well.
The manager of the bank was called Huang Sheng, a member of the Du family. Huang Sheng was already a member of the Du family during his father's generation. Huang Sheng was now a man in his early fifties. He had served the Du family for decades and was an elder of the Du family.
Huang Sheng was previously the Du family's accountant and was extremely proficient in financial matters.
Chang 'an Bank needed someone to manage it, so Huang Sheng was transferred over.
Huang Sheng was extremely meticulous in his work.
Du Qi was relieved.
After Du Qi arrived at the bank, Huang Sheng first bowed and brought the accounts for Du Qi to review. However, Du Qi frowned as he looked at the accounts.
It was not that there was a problem with the accounts, but the recording method was not the Arabic numerals of the later generations. It was very complicated. Although the accounts of the restaurant and bookstore income were recorded using the current text, after all, it was not like the bank, which involved a large amount of money and was extremely complicated. Therefore, Du Qi did not optimize the accounts of the restaurant and bookstore.
All along, the accounts had been recorded according to the current recording method and had not been changed.
Now that the bank had appeared, it was impossible.
There were too many accounts.
According to the current recording method, it was too complicated and inconvenient to check the accounts.
Du Qi suppressed his thoughts and began to prepare to change the recording method of the accounts, preparing to use Arabic numerals. Because once Arabic numerals were used, together with the abacus, the calculation was incomparably cheap and the operation was much simpler.
Even if it could not reach the speed of the computer calculation of the later generations, it was already very fast in this era.
Du Qi did not look carefully. If he looked carefully, not to mention two hours, even a day or two would not be able to complete this task.
Du Qi roughly scanned through.
After looking through the general direction, Du Qi smiled and said, "Elder Huang, the number of people saving money has increased by several folds. Not only that, even the amount of money stored up is incomparably huge, right? "
"Yes!"
Huang Sheng nodded and replied.
Although his eyes above his thick eye bags were turbid, the light of wisdom shone from the depths of his eyes.
He was extremely shrewd.
Huang Sheng said, "Young Master, I've followed your instructions. Any large amounts of money that appeared during this period of time had to be investigated thoroughly. This old man has arranged for people to investigate this situation carefully. "
"We've already investigated the source of these large amounts of money. Some of them are people arranged by Duke Huai An, Li Shentong, and some of them are merchants working for the Eastern Palace. "
"The money deposited in the bank is already more than 500,000 strings of cash."
"This amount can be said to be huge. Some time ago, the total amount of money deposited in our bank was less than 50,000 strings of cash. All of a sudden, it has increased by too much."
Huang Sheng's expression was relaxed.
He wasn't worried or afraid just because the Eastern Palace and Li Shentong arranged for people to deposit money.
Du Qi smiled, "This is expected. The Eastern Palace is currently waiting for me to transfer all the money from the bank when I'm repairing the roads and then run on our bank."
Huang Sheng said, "Young Master, wanting to empty our bank with just a few hundred thousand strings of cash is wishful thinking. Not to mention 500,000 strings of cash, even if it's two or three million strings of cash, it's still impossible. The money deposited by the people is only a small amount. The main source of money is still the businesses under Young Master. These are the true sources of support for the bank. "
Du Qi said, "So now, we just have to wait for the other party to take the bait."
After a pause, Du Qi said, "In such a short period of time, the accounts have accumulated so much. This way of recording the accounts is too complicated. At night, make a trip back to the Du Family. I have some methods for you. "
"Yes!"
Huang Sheng agreed immediately.
Huang Sheng had watched Du Qi grow up.
Originally, Du Qi was very ordinary and didn't stand out in any way. All of a sudden, Du Qi seemed to have been enlightened. Ever since then, he had a meteoric rise, accomplishing many inconceivable things.
Huang Sheng believed in Du Qi.
Du Qi talked about some things to take note of in the bank before returning to the Du Family. Du Qi was writing furiously in the study. He started to write down the basics of Arabic numerals, as well as the calculation methods of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
This was a new way of recording accounts.
Du Qi wrote down all the new calculation methods, as well as the use of the abacus to calculate. He explained the situation of the abacus clearly. It was already close to evening. When Du Qi was about to eat dinner, Liu Jian came to report that Huang Sheng had arrived.
It was dinner time.
Du Qi let Huang Sheng in. He chatted with Huang Sheng as they ate. He talked about the new calculation methods and the situation of Arabic numerals. After dinner, the two of them went to the study. Du Qi handed the book he wrote down to Huang Sheng and said, "Elder Huang, take a look. If there's anything you don't understand, I'll tell you."
"Yes!"
Huang Sheng agreed and began to read.
When they were eating earlier, Du Qi had already explained some of it, so Huang Sheng could understand a lot of it. Especially since Huang Sheng was in charge of the accounts, he was extremely sensitive to the calculation methods.
The more he read, the more he understood and the more surprised he was.
This calculation was too classic.
It was also incomparably simple.
Huang Sheng looked at the general direction and said, "Young Master, there are still many calculation methods that I haven't looked at in detail, but this method is indeed much simpler. It's also convenient to write. It can even be said to be exquisite. Especially for people like us who do accounts, it's much simpler. "
Du Qi said, "It's for you to simplify the accounting method, so that you don't have to record too much. It's very complicated."
Huang Sheng said, "Young Master, I'll start to train you next. At the same time, I'll also learn. I'll understand this new recording method and the new calculation method as soon as possible, and then start the new recording method."
"Okay, no problem."
Du Qi nodded and replied.
Immediately, Du Qi said, "I've clearly marked the situation of the abacus at the end of the book. You've also seen it. I've written down the general calculation method. You need to be familiar with it to be proficient. In short, you should first familiarize yourself with everything, and then change and replace it little by little. After the changes are made in Chang 'an Bank, I'll make adjustments to the Bank of Yanmen and the Bank of Yangzhou. They'll all be recorded according to this new calculation method. "
Huang Sheng said, "Please rest assured, Young Master. I'll get it done in the shortest time."
Du Qi said, "I believe in you."
He trusted Huang Sheng very much.
Huang Sheng also asked a few more questions. After understanding the various aspects, he said goodbye and left.
After all, it was already very late.
