"My lord. . . Do you want to see the accounts? President Yang asked.

"Well, you also know that I just came to Jiangzhou this year, and I am not familiar with the projects of the Chamber of Commerce. Zhou Ruocheng said.

"This..." President Yang was a little uncertain.

"Zhou Ruocheng! What right do you have to rummage through other people's accounts without permission?! "Yang Yichen was the first to walk out" The account is the foundation of the merchant family, who doesn't know that you are the son-in-law of the Zhao family, in case you protect your Zhao family, who will we talk to?! ”

"Young Master Yang, I just said that I wanted to go over the ledger and you reacted so much? You know, this official is also from the imperial examination, look at the number is okay, and I am not proficient in business, you are too worried. Zhou Ruocheng said.

"Anyway, you want to see our family's ledger! Dream!! Yang Yichen shouted.

"So Yang Gongzi is unwilling to make some references for this official?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.

"I, no, will, will!" Yang Yichen replied.

Zhou Ruocheng turned his head and looked at the Zhu family, "Then the Zhu family's merchants, can you let your family's accounts be used as a reference for the official?" ”

The shopkeeper of the Zhu family also smiled wryly, "My lord... Isn't that inappropriate? ”

Zhou Ruocheng looked at Zhao Yuanwai's family again, "Father-in-law, can you show the account book of your family for the official?" ”

Zhao Yuanwai stood up, "Lord Zhou has spoken, and the old man is naturally willing." ”

Zhao Yuanwai personally sent the account book, and Zhou Ruocheng looked at it for a while, "Then the next merchants, please report the accounts." ”

Only then did the fourth family stand up and read out their annual account books, but there were also a few families who refused to hand in the account books, and Zhou Ruocheng's brows furrowed when they saw that there were three or four families.

"Master Yue, your account is wrong, right?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.

Zhao Yuanwai stood up, "May I also ask Lord Zhou, what's wrong?" ”

"The amount of the account is correct, but the total business amount is far from the amount of the other companies." Zhou Ruocheng raised the account book in his hand.

"President Yang, I remember that your position arrangement here is calculated based on the turnover handed in, and I have taken a rough look at the accounts of the second-class seats, and even the quota at the end of the year at the end of the year has exceeded the Zhao family by as much as 500 taels, you say that the Zhao family sits in the second-class seats?" Zhou Ruocheng looked at President Yang, "President Yang, you won't be in the way of my Zhou's face, so you're favoritism, right?!" ”

"This..." President Yang sweated on his face and bent down, "This... I want to be an adult too... ”

"Yang Kaihui! How bold you are!! Zhou Ruocheng pointed to President Yang, "What does the Chamber of Commerce pay attention to?!" What's the data!? What is the test of affection?! You are a person who is the president, you don't know anymore?! ”

President Yang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, "Lord Zhou, the little one knows that it's wrong, and the little one knows it's wrong... ”

"Zhou Ruocheng! What are you trying to do with this score? I want to show that you are selfless?! Righteous annihilation?! You're such a powerful official!? Yang Yichen stood up.

"Young Master Yang, I am also acting impartially now, and rectifying the commercial market is the will of the imperial court! It's my job! President Yang was indeed wrong! I'll tell you a couple of words about him, why not?! Zhou Ruocheng asked rhetorically.

"The devil knows what kind of dragon gate formation you are putting up, maybe you are engaged in some big conspiracy! Less of the decree to press us! Yang Yichen said loudly.

"Yang Yichen! For the sake of me and your father's colleagues, the family is very tolerant of you! You'd better not give me an inch! You have no official position and no position, and if you strip your clothes, you will be a grass farmer, and a grass farmer who has made more money! You can tolerate the officials who are named by their own names, and if you don't respect the holy decree, then you are too bold! I didn't hold you accountable for disrespectful things, and you're already very tolerant! You'd better see who you are! Accurate? If you're not happy, keep your mouth shut! Zhou Ruocheng pointed at Yang Yichen and said loudly.

"You!" Yang Yichen's face turned red with anger, and he turned his head to look at Liu Yiyuan, "Lord Liu, you look... ”

"Young Master Yang, what are you doing with the old slave?" Liu Yiyuan looked at him, "What Lord Zhou said is true, it is his duty to take the holy decree to do things, President Yang has indeed done something wrong, if Lord Zhou doesn't say a few words, then where is the face of us officials?" And you, are you too arrogant? You have no official position and no fame, who gave you the courage to disobey the officials of the imperial court? ”

"You, Lord Liu!" Yang Yichen was also a little surprised by Liu Yiyuan's hand.

"Looking at the official positions here, there is no one here who has a bigger official position than Lord Zhou, and you just tell me that I have no right to say anything." Liu Yiyuan picked up a cup of tea and drank it.

"Young Master Yang, have you calmed down now?" Zhou Ruocheng asked, "Can you shut up and listen to me?" ”

Yang Yichen gritted his teeth and sat down.

"Father-in-law, can you publish our family's account book for this year, and show it to everyone here to see if there is any error in what I said?" Zhou Ruocheng asked again.

"Three, Lord Zhou! Isn't there something wrong with this? Huang Wenqing stood up.

"It's okay, there's nothing to hide anyway!" Zhao Yuanwai said.

"Father-in-law. This.. Huang Wenqing asked.

"I said it, it doesn't matter." Zhao Yuan gave him a blank look.

Huang Wenqing had no choice but to sit down.

The account book of the Zhao family has been circulated by everyone, this is indeed an ordinary account book, calculated to a millimeter, without a trace of omission, and there is no mistake to find, but it is indeed a little far-fetched when it is counted in the second-class seat.

The ledger returned to Zhou Ruocheng's hands, "Do you think there is anything wrong with it?" ”

Everyone in the room shook their heads.

"Then next, there are a few people in the second-class seat, and the official still wants to ask you some questions." Zhou Ruocheng once again propped his head on the palm of his hand.

"Jiangning Wang's family, the amount you just reported is 423 taels of barn grain, 780 taels of wine, and 670 taels of livestock, a total of 1,773 taels. So according to the average amount of market price, you have sold more than 200 tons of barn grain, more than 16,000 cans of wine and more than 7,000 livestock in a year. Zhou Ruocheng asked.

"This..." The shopkeeper of the Wang family was a little stunned, but he didn't expect Zhou Ruocheng to remember it after just listening to it, and then he figured it out, what the hell is this monster? "This is because we have a higher cost and a higher price tag."

"Then the official asks again, can you borrow your family's accounts, there should be a total amount of shipments on your family's account list, right? I want to calculate what your unit price is. Zhou Ruocheng asked.

When the shopkeeper Wang heard this, the whole person suddenly softened a little, and he wanted to take out the account book in fear, but he knelt on the ground halfway through his hand, "Grass people... The grass people are guilty. ”

The corners of Zhou Ruocheng's mouth raised, "adulterated?" ”

"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper said.

"Then kneel first, it's not just you." Zhou Ruocheng said, and then turn to the next "Jianghang Chen family... ”

There were six second-class seats, and four seats were kneeled down except for Zhao Yuan's family.

Zhou Ruocheng didn't stop, "Then everyone in the third class, you start to quote, and I hope you can take the account book in your hand independently, the official doesn't want to talk more." Zhou Ruocheng said.

Originally, as long as it was read out, the next step of the commendation process was dragged by Zhou Ruocheng for more than an hour, and the third-class seats knelt down again, Zhou Ruocheng still didn't stop, and he didn't miss the merchants in the last seats.

Although the shopkeepers kneeling in front of them did not say that they were pampered, they knelt down for a long time and this waist pole was not right, one by one their hands and feet trembled, and beads of sweat the size of beans fell on the ground and fell on their own account books.

After reading the account books of the last merchant, Zhou Ruocheng was standing up, it was already close to noon at this time, and it was supposed to be time to have a big feast at this time, and the cooks outside had already prepared the feast, and the smell wafted in from outside.

But half of the people present don't have this appetite now, looking at Zhou Ruocheng on the stage.

Zhou Ruocheng stood up, for such a long time, he didn't even drink saliva, put down the last account book, put his hands behind his back, and walked down slowly.

glanced at Yang Yichen's house, revealing a contemptuous smile.

However, Zhou Ruocheng did not go further, but walked in front of the many merchants who were kneeling on the ground.

Zhou Ruocheng sighed, "Is it for your guts?" ”

It's not loud, but it's audible enough.

"The imperial court decreed, not only to give you benefits, but also to hope that you can operate in good faith, there are still many places in Jiangzhou that need subsidies, and there are still many people living in very undecent houses, the family is crammed into a bed, and there are even people who can't even eat, you and I pound paste?!" Zhou Ruocheng suddenly scolded loudly.

The merchants immediately trembled with fright, and some timid people finally lost their arms and hit their heads on the floor.

"What do you say you want me to do with you?" Zhou Ruocheng found the closest person to him and squatted down, "Raiding the house?" Sent? Or into the palace? ”

Suddenly, many people began to kowtow and beg for mercy, and the sound of kowtowing rang out.

Zhou Ruocheng turned his head and looked at President Yang who was standing there.

Zhou Ruocheng turned around and walked towards him, his pace was not particularly fast, but President Yang seemed to have seen something, took two steps back, and sat on the ground with his ass.

"Y-Don't come here!" President Yang's tears were about to fall, "I, my eldest brother is... ”

Zhou Ruocheng stepped on the gap between Chairman Yang's legs, put his arms on his knees, stood in front of him in a rather domineering posture, and whispered, "What's so big about you?" Eldest brother? Governor Yang? Someone who even dares to beat his son in order to save his life, will he help you find a distant old cousin who is not angry? ”

With a look of fear on his face, Chairman Yang asked tremblingly, "You... What do you want? ”

"The dry goods in your warehouse, and the recording of asking Governor Zhu to persuade my second brother-in-law to turn against the water, just come to a capital crime of killing your head, don't you know the nine clans, do you think Governor Yang will help you?" Zhou Ruocheng shook the mobile phone in his hand.

Zhou Ruocheng !!! What the hell are you going to do!!!!!!! President Yang shouted.

Zhou Ruocheng stood up, "President Yang, as the president of the Jiangning Chamber of Commerce, you can't get any of the fake accounts under so many people, and you are trying to win over local forces, you are really bolder, and this official thinks that you don't need to be the president of the Jiangning Chamber of Commerce." ”

"You... You're letting me abdicate?! President Yang asked.

"Do you have any other opinions? Let's talk about it, it's a big deal that we can check the general ledger of the Chamber of Commerce, go through the goods in the warehouse, check your contacts, and after these things are done, if President Yang is really not at fault, then you can naturally sit in this position. Zhou Ruocheng said, turning around, "Lord Liu, what do you think?" ”

"Jiangzhou, which Lord Zhou is in charge of, everything is decided by Lord Zhou, and the responsibility of the official is to report to the imperial court, if Lord Zhou can't decide, the imperial court will also send someone to investigate." Liu Yiyuan said.

"President Yang? What do you think? Zhou Ruocheng asked.

President Yang's mouth trembled, and his eyes were full of fear and unwillingness, but in the end, he still said the word "I..." Withdraw..... ”

Zhou Ruocheng stood up: "Next, this official will judge!" Yang Kaihui, President of Jiangning Chamber of Commerce! Dismissal! Those who report false accounts will be fined 1,000, 500, and 300 taels of gold respectively according to the first, second, and third grades, and all the fines will be attributed to the imperial court! The new president is democratically elected, and those who report false accounts have no right to be selected, is there any objection?! ”

No one answered, but no one objected either.

"Then add another condition, whether you are standing or kneeling, give me a good look at the words written on this wall! Take a look! Zhou Ruocheng pointed to the big word "sincerity" on the wall behind him.

"Give me a good look, show me a quarter of an hour." Zhou Ruocheng put his hands behind his back and walked out of the door, "Then start eating." ”
