Chapter 21: Cleaning up the moths
"This brother is holding the names of your uncles in his hand, I give you a chance, if you have touched your interests, then please print a finger under your name, if not, then print a finger on it."
"Second young master, you might as well find out these people directly, such shameless people, I am ashamed to be with them" Bai Yun has been talking for so long, and among the many shopkeepers, someone finally stood up and spoke, it was a shopkeeper with a generous face.
"This uncle, don't worry, as long as it's a person, who can do it" Bai Yun saw that this person was not young, so he called the uncle directly, "As the saying goes, knowing mistakes can be changed, and being good is great."
"Second Young Master is benevolent!" The shopkeeper's arched hand was not speaking.
Zhang Dadian held the tray and passed in front of the shopkeeper one by one, and each time he arrived in front of one, he would stop for a while, and wait for the person to finish printing his fingerprints before leaving.
The account room is not big, and it doesn't take much time to turn around, Bai Yun took the list with fingerprints in his hand, compared it with his own records, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Among the dozen shopkeepers, the hands and feet of those above the eighth floor are not clean, but there are only three people who admit it, and those who are the most greedy do not admit it.
"Good, good!" Bai Yun is really angry, so many people, only three people admit that such a business partner, in the long run, the Bai family will be eaten by them, if it is not solved now, let them continue, it is estimated that after he leaves, it will not be long before such a big family of the Bai family will be able to live on the streets.
"The shopkeeper who has just printed his fingerprint below can not be held accountable, as long as the deficit is made up within three days!" Hearing this, the three shopkeepers who had fingerprints under their names breathed a sigh of relief and looked much more relaxed.
And those shopkeepers who don't have much corruption and don't have fingerprints secretly regretted that they knew that it would be so easy to pass the test, and they would just print their fingerprints and be done, lest if they were poked out, it would be difficult to have a foothold in Jiangning in the future.
Businessmen talk about honesty and credit, if such a thing is spread out, everyone knows that your hands and feet are not clean, then in Jiangning, around Jiangning and even beyond, it is really difficult to find someone to cooperate in business.
"Mi Muqing, Mi shopkeeper!" Some people are regretting, some people are disdainful, Bai Yun suddenly shouted, shouted a person's name, and startled all the shopkeepers.
Then his eyes focused on one man, who was followed by a young girl, and many shopkeepers, both of whom looked at him with disdain.
"I don't know what the young master told me about?" The shopkeeper responded calmly, but in his heart, he took Bai Yun's mother's dog blood in a fraction, so dignified, what kind of roar, I was not greedy.
Of course, Bai Yun didn't roar for no reason, but just shocked other people's minds, so that the next action would have less resistance.
Bai Yun also followed everyone's gaze, and when he looked, hey, he was still an old acquaintance, and hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, I just asked the shopkeeper to make a record, the shopkeeper, I'm sorry for you!" ”。
As he spoke, Bai Yun pointed to the first table, on which the four treasures of the study room were already placed, and then looked at the girl who was following the shopkeeper, and said, "You are here too", looking very unruly.
The girl saluted slightly, did not speak, and followed the shopkeeper to the first table, and the shopkeeper sat down, and she stood aside to study ink.
"Shopkeeper, I said, you record them one by one!" Bai Yun saw that the girl had already finished the ink, and said to the shopkeeper, it was not that he didn't want to take the accounts and publicize them directly, the key was that the records in his hand were Arabic numerals and simplified characters, and no one would understand them at all.
Bai Yun held the accounts he had recorded by himself in his hand and began to read them one by one.
"Xinan Street Jewelry Store, Zhenguan eight years, January 9 ......, before and after the deficit of 127 and 813 Wen"
"March 11 ...... of the same year"
The empty records were read out by Bai Yun, and the atmosphere became thicker and thicker, and even the forehead of the shopkeeper who was making the records was a little sweaty.
Looking at the numbers recorded in this row, accurate enough to even calculate a document clearly, the shopkeeper felt that he was more and more demonic, where someone could make the accounts so clear, it was incredible.
The girl standing next to the shopkeeper was also shocked, she thought that she was one of the best in Jiangning City in terms of arithmetic, but she couldn't be as accurate as Bai Yun.
As Bai Yun read every account, she couldn't help but glance at Bai Yun.
Standing outside the door and never coming in, Bai Cai'er and Qi Qi were equally shocked, they could check the accounts to such an extent, and in such a morning, they thought that they would never be able to do it, not to mention that they couldn't do it themselves, even if it was the big tent of the richest man in Jiangning City, it was impossible for Mr. Jiangning's most powerful account clerk to do it.
At the same time, Bai Caier was angry and aggrieved in her heart, she was taking care of the entire jewelry industry, but she didn't expect that those shopkeepers who usually obeyed her words and shouted all day long were greedy for so much money in private, but she didn't see it at all.
In the account room, Bai Yun had finished reading the last bad account of the Xinan Street jewelry store, he picked up the tea, took a shallow sip, and continued: "The Xinan Street jewelry store, from the beginning of the year to the last quarter, how much is the total deficit, can the shopkeeper ever calculate."
"Back to Young Master, the total number is" Mi Muqing paused, "Five thousand four hundred and twenty-four texts"
"Hiss......"
A sound of inhaling air conditioning, I didn't expect that just one piece of jewelry, there are so many bad debts in half a year, so if there are a few more, then their dividends this year are basically gone.
Thinking of this, most of the shopkeepers turned their heads, and looked at one of the slightly chubby shopkeepers, glaring angrily, and the temper was almost a little worse, and they had already scolded, what was ugly and scolded, without any mercy, as the so-called, cutting off people's financial routes, just like killing their parents, and now they didn't do it, they have already given Baiyun face.
For a time, there were only more than 20 people in the account room, like a vegetable market, and it was extremely noisy.
"Knock Qiang"
The deafening sound of the gong made everyone's eardrums hurt, and at the same time, it also quieted everyone.
"Now, please Xinan Street Jewelry Shop, Shopkeeper Chen will come out and give you an explanation!" When everyone quieted down, Bai Yun looked at the shopkeeper Chen of the Xinan Street Jewelry Store who had been scolded and said with a pale face.
"I have nothing to say!" Shopkeeper Chen hung his head weakly.
Bai Yun has listed each article very clearly, there is nothing to argue, and the shopkeeper Chen is also a decisive person, and immediately admitted that he is not arguing, at least he can leave a little face, if he continues to stir up three points unreasonably, then even the last bit of face will be gone.
"That's good," Bai Yun nodded, "giving you two choices."
"First" Bai Yun stretched out a finger, "You make up the shortfall by yourself, and then leave."
"Second" Bai Yun stretched out a second finger, "Directly send it to the official for investigation, and the government will sell your private property to make up for it."
This second choice is Bai Yun after careful consideration, if it is just sent to the official for investigation, then it is estimated that it will be fine after a little money, but if the government is asked to help sell the industry, then the benefits of the government will not be less, and it can also have a good reputation, fame and fortune, I believe that as long as you are not a fool, you will know how to choose.
For the shopkeeper Chen, the best choice is to make up for it himself, if it is handed over to the government to investigate, then it will be regarded as making up for the shortfall, and he will live on the street after waiting for him.
"I will make up the shortfall" Shopkeeper Chen sighed weakly, "How many days can the young master forge?" ”。
"Yes, three days at most, I don't have that much time to wait for you!" Bai Yun waved his hand, and Zhang Dadian immediately walked out with a tray on which paper, pen and ink were placed.
"Make a note, write down the reason, the amount of money, the date of return, and then you can go, but you don't have to go back to the jewelry store, and all your belongings in the jewelry store will be owned by the jewelry store until the accounts are settled!"
For the biggest moth in this audit, Bai Yun has no mercy, after all, killing chickens and monkeys, if only half of them are killed, it will make some people feel lucky, it will not be beautiful.
Shopkeeper Chen didn't struggle, simply wrote down the note neatly, and then turned around and left.
Looking at the back of the shopkeeper Chen, Bai Yun frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong with this person, he was too calm, and he didn't look like he was being investigated for corruption at all.
Bai Yun called Zhang Dadian and whispered a few words to him, Zhang Dadian took the order and left, and after a short time, he turned back and nodded to Bai Yun.
"Very good, shopkeeper Chen is a good example, so let's continue."
Hearing this, everyone's hearts jumped, not knowing who would be next.
