Chapter 274: Clarifying the Accounts of Li Cai's Case
Xue Qing listened to her report, and also felt that she had no illusions about the consumption of high-ranking officials in the next period of time. After all www.biquge.info they are already too busy to take care of themselves. There's still spare money to spend. And the diners below are mostly officials under 2,000 stones. These officials do not participate in the worship of the temple because they are not qualified. You can't ask all the officials of the whole country with more than 600 stone to come and worship, can you? What temple can hold so many people?
Just this day. I invited someone to eat at noon, and I only made a little money in the evening, but it wasn't a lot. At the very least, it can't make up for the shortfall at noon. As for Qingyi Garden outside the city, it is natural that it is not open. Tragedy.
It was dark, and the depressed Xue Qing went home. Don't be sad and don't want it. It seems that we need to change the current business logic and stop selling luxury goods first. Instead, they went to acquisitions. In the next period of time, the princes and nobles will have a hard time, and they will definitely have to sell a large number of luxury goods. When the time comes, I will buy it at a very low price and hold it in my hands. Wait for Emperor Wu's policy to pass. Then the aristocrats will slowly get up, and the family will be rich, and the market for luxury goods will come back. Anyway, now I have a lot of money in my hands. I'm worried that I have nowhere to go.
This business must be very profitable, and when those princes and ministers are forced to bankrupt by the emperor, not to mention luxury goods, even concubines, mansions, and fields have to be sold. Those who jumped into the water had to be realized. That's a good opportunity.
If you think about it, the cost of these two restaurants is not particularly large. The house is all their own, and they will not be like those who do business in later generations who understand it or not, or the rent will increase several times. As for people, anyway, these hundreds of people are nothing. After all, there are still so many people in Wuling Hexi, and there are not a few of them.
Not only is it not bad, but there is also a shortage of people in hand. If the Heavenly Dao wants to develop and grow, it will send a large number of people to mix into the Han army, and for the sake of safety, it will not develop itself in the Han army now. This number is entangled, and it is not easy to send a few, dozens or hundreds, and it is useless.
To gain a firm foothold in possible future conflicts, how can you do without tens of thousands of troops. It's a headache to think about this amount. How could Heavenly Dao pull out so many people in a short period of time.
And the officials.
High-ranking officials are hard to find. That problem can only be worried about by the emperor, and he can only find a way to get a few at most. But the quota for lower-level officials is too easy to get. There are more than 20,000 people in this plant, many of them are petty officials, take Shaofu as an example, Shaofu is 2,000 stones, and there are a few people who enjoy the treatment of 2,000 stones, called rank ratio 2,000 stones, a lot of more than 1,000 stones, hundreds of stones can't be counted, plus those scribes, people who do specific things, I'm afraid it's really an astronomical number.
Once these manpower are vacant, the various projects belonging to the government will be shelved, just like a county, it seems that there is only the county commander and the county governor. In fact, with just a few people, can you play in a county? In fact, there were almost hundreds of people up and down eating official dinners. That's just a lack of manpower.
Now the officials in Chang'an City are obviously not enough. Even the splashes on the street were helplessly dragged to become officials. I really can't help it.
So Xue Qing also took this opportunity to send in a group of people. Moisturizing things silently. At that time, no matter which yamen, it must be ventilated and breathable.
So Xue Qing brought Ruhua and explained the business arrangements for the next stage, don't relax in the restaurant, but don't care too much, as long as it is running normally, and instead focus on the acquisition of luxury goods and the world.
Ruhua nodded again and again, and her big eyes were full of flashing light, as if she had seen a very good thing that she had bought for a small amount of money. When the time comes, the price will be good. Business can still do that. It's not too cool.
During the Chinese New Year, others are still resting at home, or going out to play, Xueqing often goes to Shaofu to supervise the accounts, and most of the original Shaofu has been burned. It is better to renovate than to tear down and rebuild. He re-selected a house as the office location of Shaofu. And now that the officials of the other subordinate offices are so stiff, it is not good to stay in Shaofu for a long time, so it is better to sort out the accounts as soon as possible, and all the subordinate officials have signed and drawn the pledge, and they will be sent up.
At present, the other officials in Shaofu are okay, not too much, at most they are just a little passive and slacking off.
And every time the officials of the Shaofu went out to work with the Tingwei Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, and handed over the accounts, prisoners, materials, and property, the pressure was not ordinary. Anytime, anywhere, it smells of gunpowder.
Xue Qing had to be dispatched at any time and bring people forward to rob people and grab account books, money and food, otherwise those bastards really didn't give it, and they were already skilled in eating and taking cards.
It's just heartbreaking. One moment he said that he couldn't find the ledger, and the other time he said that the amount of money was not quite right. But the emperor was in a hurry. As a last resort, Xue Qing had no choice but to do it herself, get out all the accounts before the end of the vacation, and wait for the officials stationed in the office to sign them, and submit them to the Tingwei Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion to sign. He directly handed over the general account to the emperor. All the accounts and belongings were sealed. and so on the emperor's meaning.
Xue Qing entered the palace with the general account, and on the way she thought, what kind of moth is this dog emperor going to come out with, anyway, this product is not making trouble and uncomfortable, do you think he will take the opportunity to take advantage of the white deer coin and gold in his hand to take the opportunity to do the minting and liquor franchise together?
Anything else is good to say, although the coinage is a big profit, but there is no copper mountain under the old lady's hands, where can you mint money without copper? Let's talk about this later, sooner or later, you will have to mint your own money. First control the Shaofu, figure out the technical conditions, and then redesign it, and you can redo it.
But if this is the case, Emperor Wu will be confused if he wants to specialize in alcohol. The restaurant was hit hard by economic policies when it first opened, and it would be a tragedy to let the liquor franchise do so again.
I climbed the stairs, took off my boots and big hat, and met the emperor in the warm room next to the Xuanmur Hall. Xue Qing presented the accounts to him and said, "Your Majesty, the accounts involved in this case have been cleared and sealed. This is the account, please ask the emperor to inspect it, and ask your majesty to make arrangements for the disposal of other property and fields. ”
Emperor Wu flipped through the accounts and said, "Well, do you have a case record from the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial Doctor's Office?" ”
Xue Qing nodded: "Yes, I sent the accounts for verification as usual." The endorsements of the two are just behind. I just don't know if I should record them when I pay the money in the future? (To be continued.) )
