Chapter 274: The Hole
Although she has been married, it has only been less than half a year, and she has no idea when Ning Hong bought a house.
The steward thought that she was going to be angry again, and she was ready, but she didn't expect Ning Jian to just take a deep breath and sigh: "That's it." ”
Ning Jian tired all the account books together, pushed them forward, and said to the steward: "Give you two days, sort out all the accounts here for me, I want to know how much money the government has lost." In addition......"
"Since there is not much income in the Zhuangzi, there is no need to support so many people, and those who should be dismissed should be dismissed, and the same is true for the store."
"Yes, yes, yes!" The steward said yes again and again, took a few steps back and wanted to leave, but Ning Jian stopped him again and ordered, "There is one more thing for you to deal with." ”
"The business of the store is not good, so I consider changing my livelihood, and I can't go all the way to the dark." Ning Jian said.
"But......" the steward stopped talking.
Ning Jian glanced at him unhappily, and said impatiently: "Give me a clear account of how much money you need at that time, and I'll figure it out." ”
The steward was stunned for a moment, then his face showed joy, he quickly nodded, and hurriedly retreated.
When there was no one in the hall, only Ning Jian was left sitting on the high seat, looking sideways at the accounts on the seat, and began to calculate in his heart.
Ning Fu's accounts are in a mess anymore, Ning Zhao is so happy to give himself the right to take care of affairs, she thought that this is Ning Zhao's knowledge of current affairs, but she understood before that this is clearly a deep pit, Ning Zhao smiled and watched herself jump.
But now that he has jumped down, it is impossible to climb up, Ning Lao Taijun is gone, many eyes are staring at Ning Mansion, the scenery of Ning Mansion's two daughters are married, but what is inside, only they know.
It is precisely because of this that Ning Jian also has to fill in the accounts, and the reputation she needs to accumulate starts from this moment.
It's right to plan like this, but the most important thing now is where the money and medicine come from, such a big hole can't be filled by herself.
So......
Ning Lian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had a way in his heart.
The steward's work is actually very reliable, Ning Jian explained that the arranged things would be completed within two days, but it took him one day, and after noon on the second day, when Ning Jian came, the steward had been waiting for a long time.
As soon as Ning Jian stepped into the Ning Mansion, someone notified the steward, and the steward came to Ning Jian with the account book in his arms, and said respectfully: "The account book that the eldest lady asked to sort out has been sorted out." ”
As he spoke, he handed the account book to the desk, and continued: "The list of people in the shop and the Zhuangzi has been pulled out, and when the account office is settled, these people will leave." ”
Ning Jian stretched out his hand and flipped through the account book, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "The account room has not been settled yet?" ”
The steward looked at Ning Lian, hesitated and said, "There is not much cash in the account room, and there is not much money left after settling this money, so please ask the eldest lady to pay it back." ”
Ning Jian frowned, then nodded, and said, "It's over, let people leave after taking the money, I won't be annoyed by it." ”
The steward nodded quickly, thinking for a while and then going to deal with it.
Ning Jian looked at the sorted out account book, the front was the same, she simply flipped to the last night, and here it was written how much silver the Ning Mansion was currently lacking.
"Seven hundred and thirty thousand taels?!" Ning Lian's eyes widened, and after being surprised at first, she felt that this amount was also expected by her.
The steward did not squeak, and quietly thought of himself as a human-shaped stake.
Ning Jian was not angry, thought for a while, and said to the steward: "You go and deal with the affairs of the store and Zhuangzi, I said before, some shops can't do it, so change to another business." ”
"It's been a shopkeeper for many years, and I don't believe they only have this ability." Ning Jian closed the account book and said.
The steward nodded and said, "I have also discussed this matter with a few shopkeepers, and they will go back in the next two days to think about it, and then they will definitely be able to give a satisfactory answer to the eldest lady." ”
Ning Lian closed his eyes slightly, nodded, and waved his hand to the steward.
The steward respectfully retreated, and after a while, the little maid served hot tea, lightly placed it in Ning Lian's hand, and quietly withdrew.
Feeling the warmth in his hand, Ning Jian opened his eyes and glanced at it, then picked it up and took a sip. She slowly rubbed her fingers on the teacup, and thought of the seven hundred and thirty thousand taels in her mind again, and the method she had thought of before was a little more firm in her heart.
There is no other way to fill the gap in the accounts, but how to fill it? Ning Zhao himself can't come up with so much money, if you want to say that Ning Zhao must be fine, everyone knows that Ning Zhao is rich.
But she is Ning Lian, not Ning Zhao, she filled in all her dowry and it was not enough for 100,000 taels, she married into the East Palace with a dowry of 300,000 taels, and most of it was saved by the Chen family for her before.
After entering the East Palace, everything needs to be counted, this bit of silver is not enough for Ning Lian to spend, and there are less than 100,000 taels left after the dotting, and it is absolutely impossible for her to use the remaining money to fill the hole in Ning Mansion.
But Ning Lian doesn't have it in the East Palace!
To be more precise, it's Murong Chengyou!
She is a dignified prince and concubine, the only hostess of the East Palace, although the affairs are taken care of by the housekeeper, but she wants to use money, who dares to say no?
Thinking about it, the corners of Ning Lian's mouth hooked slightly, and his fingers flicked on the teacup, and the ceramic teacup made a crisp sound, hitting Qingling back and forth.
Ning Lian picked it up in a good mood and took another sip, and went back to the East Palace early that day, summoned the housekeeper, and said that he wanted to see the accounts of the East Palace.
The housekeeper didn't think much about it, and sent the account book to her in person, and accompanied Ning Jian to sort out the accounts that had not been sorted out this month.
For the next few days, Ning Jian stayed in the East Palace to check the accounts and did not go back to Ning Mansion, so he only asked people to bring a message to the steward, asking him to supervise those shopkeepers well, and the next time she came over, she would hear a satisfactory answer.
"The expenses of the East Palace are all paid by yourself." Ning Jian flipped through the account book and said unintentionally: "It's cold now, and winter will soon begin, are all the things ready for winter?" ”
Where do these things need to be asked by Ning Jian personally, the people below have already been prepared, the housekeeper nodded hurriedly, and smiled at Ning Lian: "It has already been prepared, Niang Niang is at ease." ”
Ning Jian bowed slightly, thought about it, and said: "It's not that I'm not worried, you have been taking care of the East Palace and taking care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for so many years, you must be experienced, now that the East Palace has me, I also want to contribute, and if I don't understand, I also want to learn and learn, maybe I can help one day." ”
"That's what the mother said." The housekeeper's mother should be the first to be.
Ning Jian didn't finish speaking, and then said: "That's it, show me the details of the previous purchases, I want to know what needs to be prepared for winter, and what else is distributed by the palace, don't don't understand anything in the future, but lose face to the East Palace." ”
