A few days later, Chu Hanlin in the trading bank took many stewards to discuss the matter of compensation for the merchants, and Chu Duyuan listened from the sidelines, and in the end, it was about recovering the goods from the merchants at the original price, and they had to pay some silver as compensation.

But there is not so much silver in the trading house now, Chu Han saw that everyone was silent, glanced at Xiao Jingbai, and said to Chu Duyuan, "Duyuan, it doesn't matter if the silver is not enough, the second uncle has brought it back this time, and it will be done first." ”

"How can that work, such a large sum of silver." Chu Duyuan shook his head, "Second Uncle is here to help, how can I let you break the bank." ”

"Second young master, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." Several stewards whispered, and one of them opened his mouth and said, Chu Duan looked at it from afar, and he was also the old steward of the firm, so he nodded, and the old steward glanced at Chu Zhong and said in a steady voice, "The second master is also a member of the Chu family, or the second young master, your own uncle, if the second master comes out with these silvers, the second young master can let the second master manage the Chu family business house together." ”

Chu Duan looked at him fixedly, smiling rather than smiling, "I don't know what it means to manage the Chu family together, the second uncle is not helping to manage the business house now." ”

"Second young master, what this king means is that in the past, this second master only came to help, and after this money, he will share weal and woe with the Chu family in the future." Xiao Jing hurriedly explained to him, Steward Wang nodded yes, and those stewards whispered their opinions.

Chu Duanyuan raised his head and glanced at Chu Hanlin, this is a soft knife on his neck, he can be injured if he can't kill it, if he doesn't agree, then the silver that has recovered the goods will not be able to raise, and it is the next policy to sell the shops and family property, but it is also not a good strategy to let the second uncle intervene in the Chu family, even if Chu Duyuan doesn't understand it, he also understands the truth that if a fruit is eaten separately, no one can eat enough, there will always be one party who will eventually swallow the whole, and the other party can only starve to death.

"This is not to bother the king's stewardship." Just as everyone was waiting for Chu Duyuan to speak, Chu Yiyao's voice came from the door, a neat red wrap looked a little heroic, Chu Yiyao walked in with a big wooden box in his hand, looked up at the stewards, the latter gave way to her, Chu Yiyao took Baosheng and walked directly to Chu Duyuan's side, and put the box on the table, "The silver matter has been done, second brother, you can order to take back all those goods." ”

"Yiyao, there's something going on here." Chu Hanlin persuaded in a low voice, "You see that these are all discussing things. ”

"I know, second uncle, don't forget that I am also a member of the Chu family, and I am still the eldest lady of the Chu family, and some of this Chu family's business house may still be my dowry." Chu Yiyao leaned on the table and looked around at the stewards, and there was some coldness in her clear voice,

"So, if this business house is not good, my dowry in the future will be much less, if I don't look good, then I will lose a lot, you say yes, second uncle." At the end, Chu Yiyao looked back at Chu Hanlin and smiled very sweetly.

Chu Han was choked for a while, he didn't know what the eldest brother's will was, and how the Chu family's property was distributed had nothing to do with him, if this eldest brother did prepare one for Yiyao when he left, then what she said today was not unreasonable.

"Miss, that's what I said, but you're a woman, how do you understand the things in this business." Steward Wang's tone was a little disbelieving, as if he was watching a child make trouble, Chu Yiyao turned his head to look at him, and his smile became thicker and thicker, "Steward Wang, Miss Ben and the girls have raised all this money to solve the problems of the Chu family, do you think I am qualified to stand here!" ”

With a 'snap', Chu Yiyao opened the wooden box, and inside was a stack of thick silver tickets, all of which were worth five hundred taels, and Steward Wang's expression instantly seemed to be stuffed with duck eggs.

"Uncle Zhong, I have to trouble you to think about the goods and silver of these merchants." Chu Yiyao sat directly next to Chu Duyuan, with one hand on the table, her fingertips gently tapping on the table, that posture was simply a shrunken female version of Master Chu.

Chu Zhong picked up the account book with a straight face, and read out the dozen or so merchants who took the goods from the Chu family firm, after the original price was returned, the Chu family still needed to pay a lot of compensation, the things in the shop were empty, there was nothing to sell, and the loss of those merchants was not small, in order to retain them and cooperate with the Chu family firm in the future, this compensation was bound to be low, and they had to apologize in a good voice, otherwise it would be difficult to continue the business in the future.

Everyone listened to Chu Zhong reading the sum of silver, with different expressions, and they said that if this silver was to be taken out of their pockets, it would be impossible, until Chu Zhong finished reading the last stroke, Chu Yiyao took out the silver in the wooden box, "There are 20,000 taels of silver here, Uncle Zhong, how much is the difference?" ”

"Miss, there are still three thousand taels left." Chu Zhong hit the abacus and reported it to her, Chu Yiyao nodded, turned his head to look at Xiao Jingbai, "Manager Xiao, Qiu Yue's goods are your responsibility, right?" ”

Xiao Jingbai was already sweating behind him at the moment, and he wanted to clear it up, he was the general manager of the commercial bank, which one was not his responsibility, "Yes... I'm in charge. ”

"Okay, Manager Xiao, you can make up the rest of the three thousand taels." As soon as Chu Yiyao's words came out, Xiao Jingbai's face turned pale, and he glanced up at Chu Hanlin, "Miss, I am responsible for the goods in this trading house, but how can this silver matter be counted as me." ”

"Yiyao, tell the second uncle first, where did this silver come from, 20,000 taels is a lot of money." Chu Hanlin looked at those silver tickets, how could the Chu family come up in just a few days, the nephew and Chu Zhong have been in the trading house, and the nephew and daughter-in-law are also staying in the Chu family, even if they sell things, it is impossible for them to have no movement at all.

"Second uncle, you are concerned about the coming and going of this silver, it is better to solve the matter in front of you first, rest assured, Yiyao will not steal or rob, and will not commit any trouble!" Chu Yiyao replied to him with a smile, Chu Hanlin patiently followed the temptation, "Yiyao, you are still young, you don't understand many things, if such a large amount of silver is willing to lend us, it must have a bad heart, you tell the second uncle, who lent you this silver." ”

"Second uncle, there is no reason to eat white food in the world, and even the second uncle did not give the silver for nothing, let alone someone else, so it is better to solve the matter of this goods first, and then we will talk about it." Chu Yiyao made up her mind not to talk about the Qin family first, she just wanted to make the second uncle have some scruples in her heart at the moment, and guess what everyone is behind the Chu family.

Chu Hanlin realized that asking this again seemed to be to protect Manager Xiao, so he nodded along the way, "Although this Manager Xiao is in charge of all the goods of the firm, it is not appropriate for him to carry the money when something happens." ”

"Originally, the matter of this silver has nothing to do with Manager Xiao, but the actual price of the things bought with these three thousand taels of silver is not worth it." Chu Yiyao didn't bother to say more, and directly threw the price of the things sold in Qiu Yue's kiln on the table, it was not a very secret thing, some businesses had good goods, and naturally there were poor ones, if you want to find someone in that kiln, just go out and inquire about it.

If Xiao Jingbai had bought the best in Qiu Yue's kiln, this would not have happened today, Chu Hanlin had long known that these things were not valuable, and they were still maintained until now, even he himself had been pulled into the water, so Chu Hanlin picked up the booklet and looked incredulous.

"It's only worth so much." Chu Hanlin put down the booklet and looked at Chu Duyuan and them apologetically, "This matter is also my fault, I originally wanted to try Qiu Yuena's goods, but there are other firms that say the same as Datong's, there is no difference, the price is cheap, but I didn't expect it to be like this." ”

"It's no wonder that the second uncle is doing this, if the second uncle has to keep an eye on this little thing all the time, won't you be tired to death second uncle." Chu Duyuan received his sister's eyes, and sighed, "Second uncle, it's not your nephew who demolishes your platform, this Chief Manager Xiao sits in the position of Chief Manager, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

It took only more than half a year to poke this big basket, and it was naturally all right to hide the past, and those who should have made money continued to make money, but when it was exposed, everyone was naturally able to hide, and no one would be stupid enough to say that they were going to say good things on their heads, and lead this mistake to themselves, Chu Hanlin is the same, for him, Xiao Jingbai is a pig teammate, and there is more than enough success and failure.

He also heard his nephew's words, the silver has to be compensated, the most important thing is to leave, otherwise no one will stand up to this matter, and when the time comes to apologize to the merchants, there is no explanation, and then Xiao Jingbai stays in the business bank for this little time, the position of the chief steward is unstable, and now in this way, there is no way to continue to sit.

He still has some pain in this matter, Xiao Jingbai is he brought from Huizhou, or his brother-in-law, no matter how stupid he is, he is his person, there are different people in this business house, and it is difficult to find a heart for himself.

"Second young master, I have no credit and hard work, when I first came, there was a mess in this trading house, I followed the second master to be busy before and after, you also saw it, I really don't know about Qiu Yuena, I also bought it when someone else said it, this matter can't be all on my head, this silver..."

"Manager Xiao, as the head manager of the Chu family's firm, you just listen to what others say and buy such a big thing, and don't make any inquiries in advance, how can you take on such a big responsibility for such a reckless act, and how can you rest assured that these things will be taken care of by you." The more Xiao Jingbai spoke, the more anxious he became, Chu Duyuan interrupted him a little impatiently, Xiao Jingbai sat down with a pale face, saying the wrong thing and doing the wrong thing, the position of the chief manager could not be kept.

Chu Hanlin abandoned the army to protect the commander, and in the end, Xiao Jingbai cut the position of the chief steward, and took out 1,500 taels of silver, which was the matter, the position of the chief steward was temporarily vacant, Chu Duyuan was in charge, and he and Uncle Zhong were in charge for the time being, and it was not too late to put the right person in place, Chu Hanlin consciously took the lead in this matter and did not raise any objections.

Chu Yiyao stood outside the carriage, watching the boxes of goods on the dock being loaded onto the Qin family's carriage, and his eyes fell on the Chu family's merchant ship, he had to quickly find other ways to fill the vacancy of the shortage of goods, otherwise, Uncle Qin's silver would not know when it would be able to be repaid.

Just watching, there was a shout from afar, Chu Yiyao turned around, and Bao Chan ran over after Ah Chuan, with some joy on his face, and said breathlessly, "Miss, the eldest young master of the Cheng family has come to see you." ”
