The Spring and Autumn Period of the Account

When the guilty minister's son entered the accounting room, what he uncovered was not money, but half the court's false accounts. In the fourteenth year of the Apocalypse, salt from Huaiyan East Field was flying everywhere, and the treasury account book said "full". Shen Yan, the orphan of the guilty minister, changed his name to a book clerk. He originally wanted to live in the salt field, but he found a sore in the list of dead people leading to Bianjing: the dead were still collecting salt, the good salt was replaced by sand salt, and the jammed ships were diverted to the military pay line. Someone set fire to the book to silence them, but he locked the warehouse with his backhand - the fire could burn off the words, but not the scales; what is most feared about false accounts is not the knife, but the number that is heard in public. After entering Beijing, he was thrown into the Planning Department and was put on task. Everyone in the court said that the warehouse was full, but when he knocked on the wall, he heard nothing but empty sounds. The empress dowager needs to be restrained, the young emperor needs a real treasury, the reputation of his words can be sold, and the salt merchant needs a viable shipping schedule. Some people gave him wine, some people handed him knives, and some people exchanged his materials for officials. Shen Yan used the account book as a knife and the human heart as a scale. He borrowed Qingliu's mouth and exchanged the accounts of merchants. He uncovered the false bottoms of salt and iron, military pay, imperial examinations and annual coins layer by layer. Only then did he discover that Taiping was not calculated but concealed. Before the late emperor collapsed, someone used a false account to cover up the prosperous age. His father died because of "refuse to sign for fictitious silver", leaving half a page of incomplete accounts; the life and death of an old friend is unknown, and the shadow of a secret decree begins to appear. He wants to write the refusal of the visa as spring and autumn, the empty space as evidence of guilt, and the full library as a joke. Without proclaiming himself emperor, without relying on time-traveling encyclopedias, without starting as a prince, he can only create a world that can be reckoned with - if Ku Qing is clear, the country will not perish. A prosperous age built on false accounts cannot withstand a real account. Under the account is the Spring and Autumn Period.
