"I have to remove the silver given to General Ma and Deputy Zheng Envoy, last year I gave gifts to one hundred and thirty-seven officials, two governors each with one thousand taels, three governors each with eight hundred taels, Ma Zongbing is more than 30,000 taels, Deputy Envoy Zheng is 27,000, Lai Shen will be three thousand five hundred, and the rest of the officials may be three hundred and two hundred, at least fifty, adding up to a total of 117,000 taels."

Zhang Han knocked on the table with his fingers and groaned: "Gift-giving is the big expense." ”

He intuitively felt that this number was wrong, the account bureau was okay, the business income of the main store was too low, as for the mine he deliberately did it, recruit more miners, buy the mine at a large price, and the cost and profit saved by producing iron must have been used, otherwise the iron production is more than three million catties, this number is already very high, a pound of Jin Iron can also be sold for more than ten yuan, at that time, a big money is enough to buy two baked cakes, more than ten dollars to save enough to eat for several days, if it is fine iron, or Fujian iron, the price has to be increased several times more than ten times, if the number of miners is controlled, Profits must be multiplied several times, at that time Zhang Han focused on profits, and later his pattern became bigger, if the miners were strictly trained, the soldiers were much stronger than farmers or military households, they were bold and careful, easy to obey, after arriving in Liaodong, he wrote to Cai Jiu, in the name of continuing to buy mines, recruit more miners, even if the expenses become larger, it seems that the number of miners is indeed very large, but it is worth the price.

What's wrong is the main store, grain price Zhang Han has pricing power, according to market fluctuations, taking into account the interests of farmers and their own image, the pricing will not be too harsh, but the profit is certainly not small, not to mention smuggling and trading, more than ordinary grain trading, that is, cloth groceries, export smuggling profits are also very high, the profit of the main store is actually so little, there must be a cat greasy.

Li Yujing talked about the detailed account for a long time, because there are still many expenses, according to the "enter", "pay", "deposit", "the" four pillars into the book can not fully reflect the income and expenses of the entire He Yusheng, there are many difficulties and troubles, at this time Zhang Han is eager to teach them the latest accounting method, but unfortunately he knows that there is no way to take too big a step.

"Now there are two hundred and seventy-seven thousand six hundred fifty-three taels of silver in the treasury." In the end, Li Yujing finally finished speaking, and he was already tired.

Zhang Han nodded very calmly, without a particularly happy expression.

Chang Wei and Liang Xing's eyes were full of admiration, their brains were already dazed, and they didn't dare to believe the number Li Yujing said, this number was still caused by hoarding a large amount of groceries and grains, if there was not a backlog of so many goods, the current silver deposit would have exceeded one million.

What is this concept?

During the Wanli period, Zhang Juzheng reformed the tax law, summed up a large number of land taxes and miscellaneous expenses, and changed the tax in kind and manpower to pay silver, so as to stabilize the fiscal revenue at about 300 to 4 million taels a year.

Zhang Han is an ordinary merchant proprietor, and his annual income can be close to about half of the income of the national treasury, even if the imperial court still has cloth, silk, and sundries, plus the annual income of 20 million stone grain, Zhang Han and He Yusheng's income is amazing enough.

Zhang Han finally said, "It's good to do something." ”

It was late, Li Yujing said goodbye first, Zhang Han asked Liang Xing and Chang Wei to go out too, and when Yang Qiu was alone in the house, Zhang Han frowned and said: "You are my eyeliner left at home, you have to keep an eye on all kinds of things, do you have any achievements?" ”

Yang Qiu was still a little nervous in front of Zhang Han, and he himself felt that the errand was not very beautiful. For such a long time, intelligence collection teams have only been established in Jingshi and Taiyuan plus Kaifeng, Zhending, Zhangjiakou and other important places, Wang Faxiang of Jingshi is the most beautiful, and other places are just decent, the old store and various branches have messy accounts, Yang Qiu also vaguely knows that now that Zhang Han is back, he feels that he is a little difficult to explain.

Yang Qiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and explained: "The proprietor and my people can only collect the rumors from all over the place, and keep an eye on those suspicious officials and big businessmen, and we have no way to investigate the internal changes without the proprietor's order......"

"There's no wind at all?"

"Yes, there is a ......" Yang Qiu said: "It was okay at the beginning, but later the second uncle sent some of his shopkeepers to our store, and he was also sent out to be the branch shopkeeper, and then gradually some disorderly things happened, and the old Zhou shopkeeper hindered the second uncle's face and was not too controlled, and then it was completely chaotic." ”

"You give me the general list." Zhang Han stared at Yang Qiu and said slowly, "I know you must have it on hand." Also, you pick some of your men to stand by. ”

"Yes, proprietor!" Yang Qiu jumped up violently.

……

When he returned to the mansion, it had been three watches, and Zhang Han inevitably alarmed some people.

Chang had already fallen asleep, but he was also awakened, and sent a few maids to serve Zhang Han.

In the crowd of Yingying Yanyan, Zhang Han did not see Yang Liu, and it seemed that Chang was not very confident in his concentration.

This is good, Zhang Han feels that it has become difficult for him to restrain his desires recently, these maids in front of him are very ordinary, but their faces are full of youthful color, they are all sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, he is not familiar with them, even so, he feels very thoughtful.

On the grassland and Liaodong back and forth nearly 10,000 miles away, ten months are dealing with men, Mongolian women can't look at it, plus all the way is full of beef and mutton, rice and steamed buns have not eaten a few times, these ten months Zhang Han has grown taller again, now he is much taller than ordinary adult men, and his body is much stronger, Liang Xing and other dart masters have been making up lessons at night, learning the skills of fighting, Zhang Han also keeps practicing his body, his body has become very strong, and his anger is much bigger.

The maids helped him change out of his close-fitting robes, these clothes had been worn for ten months, worn, and a strong sour smell, a maid named Lotus said a few jokes to Zhang Han, she was an old man in the house, Zhang Han noticed that Lotus's chest was about to come out, which made him feel excited.

"You're on good terms with Willow, aren't you?" Zhang Han washed his hands and face, wore a clean middle coat, soaked his feet, and a feeling of tiredness came up, he chatted with the lotus flower to pass the time.

"The slave maid is the same as the willow sister." Lotus pursed her lips and said, "Uncle, Yang Liu Na Nizi misses you." ”

Zhang Han's current title has changed from young master to "uncle", of course, it is different from the name of respecting the elder in later generations, which is an acknowledgment and affirmation of his status in the mansion.

Zhang Han smiled when he heard this: "Yang Liu is going to hear it, and he may want to strangle you." ”

Lotus sighed: "Yang Liu has come to an end, poor slave maid......"

Zhang Han looked at her, thought about it, and asked with a smile, "Who do you want to marry?" ”

Lotus blushed and said, "How can anyone ask people like this." ”

Zhang Han smiled: "I'll wait until I have time to ask Yang Liu." ”

The lotus flower was silent, wiped Zhang Han's feet with a red face, and retreated with the water and the people.

In such an atmosphere and environment, Zhang Han fell asleep all of a sudden, and he forgot for a moment the cruelty and ruthlessness in the white mountains, black waters, ice and snow, and those bloody wars and massacres.

……

Before dawn, Zhang Han woke up.

In his sleep, he returned to the Jianzhou Department, where he was discovered by Nuerhachi's ambition and pushed down by the order to be executed.

Zhang Han was startled and woke up.

He didn't delay too long in the mansion, he ate with Chang's Chang Ning, talked some gossip, and the mother and son and cousins were very affectionate, and the atmosphere was much better than yesterday's large-scale banquet.

Chang Jin took the time to come once, and asked Zhang Han to accompany him to the village to see the waterwheel, Chang Jin still has a lot of things to improve, which requires a lot of money, and he wants to build a few more large waterwheels along the river, and at the same time, it can be made with small manpower trampling waterwheels in aqueducts and tributary rivers.

Zhang Han agreed, but he said he would wait a few days.

After breakfast, he rushed to the store, first with the dart master will exercise, this time there are nearly 200 new dart masters to join, these people and Zhang Han are not familiar with the subordinates, unfamiliar subordinates can not be handy, Zhang Han wants to follow them to practice, slowly enhance the relationship.

After the exercise, Zhang Han and the new dart master chatted separately, asked about some things in life, just expressed concern, and the people he asked were very moved, this year Zhang Han is a proprietor of such a status It is impossible for these dart masters to be so kind, and the monthly salary that everyone gets here is unimaginable, and the food is good, and most of the dart masters who joined after are the border troops of various military towns, mainly the border troops of Datong and Shaanxi and Gansu, and the life here is much better than their original. As long as these dart masters turn their apprenticeship into a formal one, they will take over the family and settle down in Xinpingbao.

Coming out of the crowd of dart masters, Zhang Han entered the mule and horse shop again, chatted with Lao Cai and his group, looked at the newly made carriages, and went to the backyard to see the mules and horses.

Originally, there were hundreds of horses here, but now it is no longer possible, there are too many mules and horses, and a large stable has been built outside Xinpingbao, and more mules and horses are kept there.

Each branch also has a large number of mules and horses, and the main business of the mule and horse shop is to transport goods, and then cooperate with the account office to escort goods or cash, and also transport grain to the main store and other stores, and now there is also the business of transporting iron from Lingqiu.

People are full of smiles on their faces, when Zhang Han didn't come back, everyone lacked the backbone, although the business was doing well, but the heart was not supportive, in case the proprietor had any accident, such a big situation, such a big mess, who could get it without the proprietor? As far as Yang Qiu's gang of evil obstacles is concerned, except for the proprietor, who can stop it?

The next thing was very hard, Zhang Han began to study the establishment of various branches in the past few months, looking at the account books, as well as the business records and charts.

Others can't replace him in this matter, so he saw Xiangwu all the time, Chang saw that Zhang Han didn't come back to eat, so he sent someone to ask, and then sent Yang Liu over with a food box to send food to Zhang Han to eat.

"This is boiled river shrimp, this is steamed crab, this is braised Yellow River carp, this is mouth grinding with shiitake mushrooms and greens, this dish is specially ordered by you......"

Yang Liu placed the tray and spoke with a smile, she was very happy in her heart, and her beautiful white face was full of smiles.
