340. Smoky miasma
"Thank you...... Prince! "Gu An is Gu Xiu's only son, the future loyal and brave marquis, even if he bites him out, he is greedy for his family's silver, Gu Xiu will teach him a few words at most.
But the shopkeeper is just an ordinary commoner, and he was blamed for the aristocratic Ling Lang Gu'an, where did he have a good life, confessed the crime, and saved the life of the family is the right thing: "The little one's mother is seriously ill and is in urgent need of silver, and the little one wanted to borrow the silver from the shop first, and then pay it back before the New Year, but I didn't expect to be discovered by His Majesty so early......"
Gu An sighed softly, with a condescending demeanor, and persuaded bitterly: "The shopkeeper has been taking care of the shop for more than ten years, and he is the generalissimo of the shop, what difficulties can you tell me or my father directly, we will definitely help you, how do you do such a stupid thing?" ”
"It's a small thoughtless thought, and it's all at the disposal of Your Majesty and the Prince!" The shopkeeper's tone was very sad, Mu Kongan looked at Gu Xiu, and made up his mind: "The shopkeeper has managed the shop for many years, and the continuous layers are clear, but the royal family has a demarcation, and you can't use people who have made big mistakes, it's better to return all the money you have greedy, take the monthly money you deserve, and make your own way!" ”
The shopkeeper is the father of the shop, but he has made a mistake in the truth, it is difficult to deal with it, the punishment is light, it is gossipy, the punishment is heavy, and it will be criticized, Gu An's punishment is not light or heavy, it is reasonable, it not only protects the royal strengths, but also teaches the greedy villain, Gu Xiu is very satisfied, and nodded secretly.
Gu Chichi sneered, after three months in the royal shop, Gu An also learned something.
After the shopkeeper confessed his guilt and thanked him, he was escorted home by the guards to get the silver, Gu An stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Dad, I'm sorry, I only care about the royal affairs, and I neglect the management of the shop, I don't know that the shopkeeper is greedy for so much silver......
Gu Xiu glanced at Gu An, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed softly, what flashed in his eyes was not reproach and displeasure, but instigation: "Don't be in a hurry, talent is tempered!" "An'er will be the loyal and brave marquis in the future, if he can't even manage these more than ten shops, he will definitely suffer in the officialdom in the future, and he must slowly temper his talent......
Gu An's eyes were firm, and his eyes flashed with moving tears: "Thank you dad for your trust, I will definitely work hard to manage the shop!" "Loyal and brave Marquis Gu Xiu, he was actually deceived by himself, because he was too stupid, or he was too smart!
"Dad, brother, the shopkeeper of this shop took advantage of his brother's busyness, flawless and flawless, greedy for the silver of the shop, shoddy, blamed the customer, tossed the shop into a miasma, and almost ruined the royal reputation, will other shops have similar work?"
Gu An wants to pass the test easily, but there is no spicy waiting, this shop can't let Gu Xiu improve his precepts, so he will let him see a few more, and when the time comes, he is not afraid that he will not question Gu An.
"Probably not, several shop owners are married by grandmothers, character, worth believing!" Questioning the character of the shopkeeper is questioning the grandmother, which is very unfilial.
Gu An smiled lightly, but in his heart he scolded Gu Chichi thousands of times, today's Gu Chichi, how can he go against himself everywhere? Did she do it occasionally, or did she do it intentionally?
"The shopkeeper of this shop, although he is not a grandmother's wife, was also a rare honest person in the past, for more than ten years, there has been nothing wrong with the management of the shop, how can he suddenly be greedy for silver......"
Gu Chichi glanced at Gu An lightly: "Dad, when did the entry and exit of this shop go wrong in the first place?" ”
Gu An's face turned pale in an instant, Gu Chichi, did she know anything?
"I haven't looked at this very well!" Gu An sighed slightly: "The accounts of the past two months are very different, and there are big discrepancies......
Gu An secretly relieved, Gu Xiu was really sharp, he showed that he had made the shopkeeper cover up wonderfully, Gu Xiu could still see that the accounts were wrong......
"Dad, you are free today, go with your brother to search and search other shops!" With the experience of this shop, Gu Xiu will definitely search the accounts of the shop carefully, and he will definitely be able to find many mistakes.
"I've been pregnant for a long time, let's go back to the palace as soon as possible, and leave the work of the shop to me and my father to investigate." Gu Chichi didn't know if Gu Chi had any doubts about excavation, but he knew that she was psychologically thorough, and if she went to the shop with her, she would definitely discover a lot of eyebrows, so he euphemistically gave an eviction order.
Gu Chichi smiled lightly: "The imperial doctor told me to move around more, Shaoxian is busy, it's okay for me to stay in the palace alone, we are a family, you can get together, I will go with you to check other shops, Ning Shen, I will sit quietly on one wall and choose fabrics, it will not harm you!" ”
Gu Xiu trusted Mu Kongan very much, he deceived Gu Xiu is a job that was easy to get, his purpose today, but the bad psychology of exposing his filthy talent and forcibly occupying the royal belongings made Gu Xiu question him, and the purpose was not reached, how could he leave.
"Since it's been a long time since it's been a long time, let's go to the shop together!" Gu Chichi relieved the siege of Jisi Xing, Gu Xiu was very excited, and naturally he was happy to take Gu Chichi to go together, maybe something happened to other shops, and he needed to be saved for a long time.
Gu Xiu was in front, Gu Chichi and Gu An were behind, and the group went to other shops to check, and in most of the day, more than a dozen shops were checked, and there were actually two or three shops that were all in dividends first, five or six were in and out of the average, no loss or gain, five or six had a little small dividend, compared with last year's big money, it was simply a land high, a sky.
"Kishi'er, what the hell is going on?" Gu Xiu's face was gloomy and appalling, he had already read those account books carefully, and they had only been angry and suffered losses in the past two months, that is, the shop had been making profits before, and after Gu An took over the management of the shop, the shop's business first declined steadily......
"This ...... I don't know what's going on. "Suffers losses, and the shops that don't pay dividends have been pulled out by Gu Xiu, except for pretending to be stupid and staying in trouble, Gu An really can't think of a better way to deal with it.
"When I went to inspect the shop, the shopkeeper reported to me that the shop was in the ...... of dividends They are all veteran shopkeepers who have been working as shops for many years...... I thought...... They don't lie...... Who ever thought ......"
I don't know if it's shame or some other reason, Gu An lowered his head, and his speech was not very coherent.
"Brother, managing the shop, you have to search the account books every day, check the accounts and accounts above, you haven't found out, right?" If you want to avoid obligations, you don't have to wait for leisure.
"I ...... I won't look at the account book...... "Squeak for most of the day, Gu An gritted his teeth, to tell the truth, since he was a child, he has never been exposed to this thing, where can he understand what is densely written in the book.
Gu Xiu was stunned, An'er was only twelve years old when he disappeared, he didn't understand anything, he didn't know anything, he didn't know anything, with the two old men for six or seven years, he couldn't learn useful things on the ground, and soon after returning to Beijing, he didn't know him well, so he handed over the shop to him to take care of, it was his own negligence......
I can't read the account books, and I was defrauded by the shopkeeper, which led to a decline in the store's dividends, and I have an obligation to blame him.
"I'm sorry, Dad!" Gu An looked ashamed of having done something wrong: "Very recently, in addition to being busy with royal work, I am also learning from others to read account books, dealing with shop questions and other work, I might as well ask for advice too much, they know that I don't know how to read account books, just secretly greedy for ink shop silver two ......"
Gu Chichi said disdainfully in his heart, Gu An's ability to lie is really wonderful, the lies he told are perfect, and he regrets that he is here, and he will not let his bitter scheming win.
Raising his eyelids, Gu Chichi said in surprise: "Before my brother returned to the royal family, the shops were all managed by the shopkeepers, and the layers of care every day were clear, the main customers were profitable, and the business was flourishing, and the grandmother went to the shop once a month to inspect it, and the shopkeepers did not dare to make a mistake, even if the elder brother managed the shop, the grandmother would take the time to come to inspect, how could they dare to be so arrogant?" ”
Gu An is the royal master of Japan, he has managed the shop for three months, and he is familiar with the shopkeeper in the shop, if he is so idle and lets him go, he will definitely become greedy for royal silver, and he must find a way to make him greedy for silver.
Gu Xiu also had a slight doubt, no matter what An'er said, he was the crown prince, no matter how knowledgeable the shopkeepers were, they didn't dare to deceive him so arrogantly, and his work was a little strange!
Gu An sighed softly, and said helplessly: "The shopkeepers in the shop are all veterans, I am just a new prince in the capital, I don't understand anything, I don't know anything, they don't care about me, it's normal!" ”
Gu Chichi laughed in his heart, pretending to be unfortunate to show anyone, he didn't want to eat him: "You are the crown prince, your master, your status is noble, no matter how smart and sharp the shopkeepers are, they are also subordinates, you care about them, it is a job that is not moved to reason, who dares to be unfair?" ”
Gu An was helpless again, and his eyes were misty: "Although my brother is the crown prince, he has no talent, no virtue, no fame, and even can't even read the account book, and the shopkeepers look down on me, which is also ......."
Gu Xiu frowned, and said sharply: "No talent, no virtue and no talent, it is true that people will look down on you, but you are the crown prince, you have to compete for your strength, and you have tempered yourself with erudition and talent, and your talent is extraordinary, see who dares to look down on you!" ”
Gu Chi Chi looked at the high stacked account books: "The main origin of the royal silver, that is, these dozen shops, today's losses are greater than dividends, it is really not good for the royal family, first hand it over to Daddy, manage it as soon as possible, and the quick dividend is the right thing, when Daddy manages, my brother can also learn the resume and the method of doing things on the side......"
Gu An's eyes flashed unnaturally, his face was solemn, did Gu Chichi want Gu Xiu to return to his own rights and interests in managing the shop? Did she dislike her lack of talent, or did she discover something?
Gu Xiu was also a little embarrassed, he would be sad when he returned to the hands of An'er all of a sudden, and the shopkeepers would also think that they didn't face him squarely, and they were doubly disrespectful to him, wandering and losing his place for many years, he had suffered a lot, and it was already very idle to be able to return to the royal family, and he was his biological father, and he could never slander him again......
Gu An and Gu Xiu's looks were unobstructed, Gu Chichi had a calculation in his heart, although Gu Xiu had doubts about Gu An, but because of the affection of father and son, he refused to embarrass him, he wanted to completely defeat Gu An, and he couldn't be in a hurry, otherwise, Gu An pretended to be unlucky, with the trust of the Queen Mother and Gu Xiu in him, it would definitely be himself who would suffer badly.
Take it slowly step by step, let Gu Xiu gradually decompose to this Gu An's abomination, hate him from the heart, at that time, he was the real defeat.
"If you want to really hone your talent, you still need to do some practical things, my brother is not included in the imperial examination, and I can't do things in the wild, so it's better to hand over the silk collection and pastry shop to my brother to manage, first, to hone my talent, and secondly, these two shops are really sharp, if my brother can turn them around, my brother's talent will be tempered, and no one in the capital will dare to look down on you......"
The silk collection shop and the pastry shop were made by Gu An's miasma, nervous and suffered, the old patron lost most of his money, and he ate food day by day, even if these two shops were handed over to him for full management, he would not be able to get a little oil and water, which could not only revoke Gu An's doubts, but also reduce Gu Xiu's shame, why not.
