Du Gang pushed it casually and just pushed it to Xiao Lianzi's chest. In desperation, Xiao Lianzi raised his hand and slapped the person to the person. Du Gang instinctively grabbed Xiao Lianzi's wrist. Xiao Lianzi was embarrassed and anxious, pulling it back hard, trying to break free from control. Du Gang recognized Xiao Lianzi at this time, and saw that he was not dressed, he quickly let go. Xiao Lianzi was exerting force, and Du Gang suddenly let go. Xiao Lianzi sat on the ground, shy, anxious and angry, tears fell down in a string, and said in a crying voice: "You, you bully people."

Du Gang stood awkwardly at the gate of the yard and made the little woman cry. It was not a glorious thing to spread. Xiao Lianzi sobbed and got up, lowered her head and left hurriedly.

Fu Ying was walking in the yard. When she saw Xiao Lianzi's clothes torn, she looked at her shoulders and strapless breasts, and tears were still hanging on her face. She was shocked and said that someone had bullied her. Fu Ying said, "Xiao Lianzi, what's going on?"

Xiao Lianzi was running towards the main yard quickly, but fortunately, she didn't meet anyone along the way, otherwise she would have been so embarrassed that she was stopped by Fu Ying as soon as she entered the main yard.

When Xiao Lianzi heard Fu Ying ask, she could only stop and said, "They worked together to bully me."

"Who has such a courage to bully you in the Marquis' Mansion?"

"Du Gang and Xiao Wu."

Xiao Lianzi told the story all over again. Later, she remembered her embarrassing look when she saw Du Gang, and blushed and began to feel sad.

Fu Ying heard that it was Xiao Wu who tore Xiao Lianzi's clothes, "It turned out that the children were fighting." Fu Ying's face calmed down. If a man really dared to tear Xiao Lianzi's clothes, it would be serious and he had to use the family law.

Fu Ying said: "So are you? Why are you angry with the child? Go and change your clothes."

Xiao Lianzi had just changed her clothes and came out, another maid came in and said, "Shopkeeper Fu and General Xu asked for a meeting."

Fu Ying said: "Please wait in the West Hall."

After Hou Dayong left, Fu Ying was the backbone of the Hou's mansion. She was the one who took the initiative to make the major issues in the mansion. She clearly distinguished the priorities of the matter and was very organized. Fu Gong, Xu Qing and others had already left their contempt and admired her very much.

The rich shop relies on iron and paper businesses and became popular all over the country, with both main items in short supply. After Fu Ying first checked the account, she was shocked. The wealthy shop's profitability was much higher than that of his father Fu Yanqing's land income. Looking at the piles of coins in the warehouse, Fu Ying sighed, "How can you use so much money?"

Before Hou Dayong went to war, he taught Fu Ying some weird symbols, using 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and adding, subtracting, multiplication, and division. Fu Ying didn't think so at first, but after Hou Dayong left, when he was bored, Fu Ying tried to use Arabic numerals to keep accounts. After trying it, he found that these so-called "Arabic numerals" were very simple and clear. Using it to keep accounts was easier and more accurate than the original method.

Fu Ying decided to promote Arabic numerals in the rich shops, so he asked Fu Gong and Xu Qing to come over and prepare to teach the two of them the methods taught by Hou Dayong, and then the two of them taught the others. In the future, all accounts of the Hou Mansion will be represented by this set of Arabic numerals.

Fu Ying taught the Arabic math knowledge he had mastered to two people, "0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, use + to represent addition, - to represent subtraction, use - to represent multiplication, use - to represent division, use / to represent several parts, use ≈ to represent approximately equal, and use = to represent equal."

Fu Gong said: "What is multiplication and division?" Fu Ying patiently explained to the two. Fu Gong wanted to bring a piece of paper, write a few lines of words, and then convert it according to the strange Arabic numerals, and finally said: "It seems to be simpler."

Xu Qing had a weaker ability to accept. After thinking for a long time, he said, "These Arabic numerals do not have much meaning, so let's keep accounts according to the previous method."

Fu Ying said: "These methods are all taught by the Defensive Envoy. I was not used to them at the beginning. If you use them a few more times, you will understand the wonderful things. I have sorted out all the methods mentioned by the Defensive Envoy. Take them back, carefully consider them first, and then use Arabic numerals to keep accounts. Is this okay?"

Fu Gong admired Hou Dayong very much. He heard that it was taught by Hou Dayong, so he agreed in his heart and said, "It turns out that it was taught by the defensive envoy, and it must make sense. I went back and studied it seriously. I used it roughly just now, which is indeed good, but if others accept it and learn it, they may have to teach it slowly."

"This is not urgent. Haste is not enough. I have changed all of my Arabic numerals. I can see the thick account book you made by using Arabic numerals."

Fu Gong said: "I'll try it out when I go back. If I don't understand, I'll ask for advice. Another thing is that the most profitable things in the Fujia shops are iron and paper. The goods sold from Meng Shu and the others from all over the north and south are also very profitable. Can we separate iron and paper from all kinds of goods sold?"

Fu Ying said: "You mean that the iron seller is a shop, the paper is a shop, and all kinds of goods are a shop. In this way, the number of shops in various places needs to increase and the number of people. I wonder if it is cost-effective?"

Fu Gong said: "Most people buy paper are literati. They often say that our paper is good, but we have the status of huddling with farmers. In addition, there are often valuable items in the goods sold, so we should not mix them with these two."

"Do this happen, don't rush to separate all the stores. Separate ironware, paper and goods from various places in Daliang, Zhengzhou and Daming Prefecture to see the effect."

After Fu Gong and Xu Qing left, Fu Ying said to Xiao Lianzi: "There are so many things. Let's go to Qiu Niangzi to sit for a while."

Fu Ying and Xiao Lianzi came to Qiu Ju's yard and saw Xiao Wu coming out of Qiu Ju's yard from afar. Xiao Wu saw them, ran a few steps, stopped again, and looked at them, as if he was very hesitant.

Fu Ying said: "Xiao Wu comes here, don't run away."

When Xiao Wu heard Fu Ying call him, he slowly came to the two of them.

Fu Ying said: "Xiao Wu, why do you bully Sister Lianzi?"

Xiao Wu said: "The master has taught me a lesson just now, but I know I'm wrong."

Fu Yingzhi Xiaowu is the most naughty, but today he honestly admits his mistake and teases him, "Why are you wrong?"

Xiao Wu said: "The master said that our Shaolin disciples cannot bully women. I tore off Sister Lianzi's clothes. The master has punished me and asked me to compensate Sister Lianzi." After Xiao Wu said that, he reached out and handed a string of coins and said: "This is to compensate you."

Xiao Wu's move made Xiao Lianzi blush and said, "Who asked you to compensate, I have something wrong. How did he teach you a lesson?"

Xiao Wu reached out his other hand and said, "Tap five times with the wooden strips."

Seeing that there were a few red and swollen pieces on Xiao Wu's hand, Xiao Lianzi held Xiao Wu's hand, blew it with her mouth, and said, "Does it hurt? Du Gang is really, Xiao Wu is still a child, he is so heavy."

Xiao Wu said with his chest straight: "I'm not a child, I'm a disciple of Shaolin layman." Xiao Wu stuffed the coins into Xiao Lianzi's hand and ran away quickly.

Xiao Lianzi took the coins and said, "Madam, I'll go and return it to Du Gang."

Xiao Lianzi came to the yard where Du Gang lived, and Du Gang was chatting with a group of unduly-official guards in the yard. Xiao Lianzi came to Du Gang and said, "Who told you to pay for it?" Xiao Lianzi didn't dare to look at Du Gang when he was talking, but just stared at the ground. Du Gang had big feet and his shoes were a little torn. He said, "I'm having fun with Xiao Wu, why are you fighting Xiao Wu?"

Du Gang rarely deals with girls, blushed and stuttered: "Just accept it, I am Xiaowu's master, and I helped Xiaowu pay."

Xiao Lianzi said, "Why is a man so nagging?" After saying that, like Xiao Wu, he stuffed the money into Du Gang's hand and turned around and left.

The guards were idle, but after Xiao Lianzi walked out of the yard, they started to cheer and said, "Guozheng Du, is this woman Xiao Lianzi? She looks so pretty."

"Counsel Du, you are not married yet, please marry Xiao Lianzi."

"I think she's interested in you."

Du Gang said viciously: "Whoever talks nonsense anymore, be careful of your butt."

The guards burst into laughter happily.
