Accounting room introduction: The Mo family owns more than 6,100 acres of fertile land in Pinghu and surrounding areas. They have wooden shops in Shanghai, Zhejiang and Fujian, as well as rice shops, banks, cloth shops, and cocoon shops. It also has its own real estate near the West Lake in Hangzhou. According to the "Pinghu County Chronicle", the average rent of grain per mu at that time was about one stone, which shows that the amount of rice rent collected by the Mo family every year was quite astonishing. In order to manage these assets, the Mo family set up a rent collection and financial management account in the manor, calling itself "Mo Zheng Shan Zhan". Various buckets, bamboo poles, steel scales and cast iron safes imported at that time are still displayed in the accounting room.
