I dropped dead from overwork in marketing, and when I opened my eyes, a creditor was standing over me with a knife, ready to take my leg. I'm a modern-day bank debt collector, reborn as a poor scholar who owes fifteen strings of cash in high-interest debt!
I calculated interest from water stains to expose the "parent-child interest" scam, and shut the collector up so thoroughly that Master Zhou snatched me up on the spot!
Could the Zhou household's three-way debt, which had stumped them for five days, be sorted out? I drew up a cross-ledger and made a mnemonic song. In half a day, I uncovered an eighty-tael shortfall, and the chief accountant fell to his knees to beg me to take him as a student!
Grain store losses, desperate refugees rushing the store, and Yan Shichang cutting off my path in finance?
I issue IOUs, offer loans backed by tools, and introduce jointly guaranteed bills of exchange. Using modern risk controls, I build a "people's bank" in ancient times!
Others rule through force; I determine the fate of the world with an abacus. Others fight for military power and supremacy; I stabilize people's livelihoods through credit!
One IOU revives the entire county's economy, and one ledger lets me stand up to the powerful. Could the secret treasure of the former dynasty hidden in the land deed be the final trump card of my financial empire?
It's very well written, everyone can support it.
