The last thing Shen Yu saw before he died was the line of ink on the account book: "The deficit of 80,000 taels should be settled quickly." The handwriting was his father's.
Overnight, the entire Shen family of the richest man in Jiangnan was wiped out and his account books disappeared.
Shen Yu dragged his broken body to Beijing to complain, but outside the prison, he saw the woman who changed his life.
Su Wan, a doctor of accounting, was dressed as the daughter of a criminal who was about to be executed.
The regent who was rumored to have skinned corrupt officials alive traded a bad debt for her life:
"In ten days, find four hundred thousand taels of military pay, or die."
She opened the account book and smiled: Those who make false accounts are really bad at their crafts.
Later, she cleared water transportation with one hand and issued national debt with the other, causing a bloody storm in the court.
Shen Yu looked at her standing in the court hall, pointing at the salt tax map with his fingertips, and said word by word:
"Whoever embezzles money from the imperial court will be clearly written in the account books."
He suddenly remembered his father's words: The real account is not on paper, but in people's hearts.
And her heart was determined by him.

Purpose: Use modern financial thinking to reduce dimensionality to attack the ancient dynastic economy, and use professional capabilities to open up a way for women to survive and conquer in an absolutely patriarchal society that "does not rely on palace fighting but relies on brains."
