People slowly quit their jobs, there are a lot of branch shopkeepers, and even many of them with little seniority have not entered this house at all, and they can only go back slowly, Zhang Han saw half of the account books and statements in the room, and he also shook his head and smiled bitterly.

There are a lot of absentees at this time, and the business situation of the branches in various places has to rely on these reports and analysis, and he has to do graphical statistical work by himself, and now there is no one from the shopkeeper to the account office to share it with him.

Zhang Han plans to train some real right-hand men in half a year to a year, at least to make a preliminary summary of the statistical reports in front of him.

Fortunately, there is still Li Yujing, everyone else is almost gone, and Li Yujing is still in the house.

"The proprietor, it's almost the second shift." Li Yujing said: "I just came back, don't rush slowly." ”

"Lao Li, you have to hold on, let's continue." Zhang Han smiled, turned his head to Jiang Kui and said: "Ask someone to order a few bowls of noodles, the toppings are vegetarian, don't use mutton or big meat, this day is full of banquets, and I am tired of eating it." A few more side dishes, all delicate and plain......"

Jiang Kui answered, and hurriedly went to do it, until this time he was talking to people, and he was drinking and chatting with people all day, and he remembered that the proprietor had not eaten seriously at all, Jiang Kui complained to himself in his heart, and his pace sped up a lot.

"From the Mid-Autumn Festival last year to now, it has been almost ten months ......"

Li Yujing's account books are a thick pile, and the Longmen account is much more complicated than the double-entry accounting method of later generations, and the things recorded are many times more.

Fortunately, Zhang Han explained in advance that the reports in various places are the same thing, and the accounts of the branches are also divided into monthly accounts and quarterly accounts, and they are divided into several parts of surplus inventory and cash, and finally summarized here by Li Yujing.

"Let's talk about it first......" Li Yujing said with a smile: "The three cabinets often talk to me, now the whole Datong and Shanxi Jiayan Suihe Xuanfu of the mule and horse shop branch is the longest west line, more than 700 miles, more than 20 branches, south to Pingyang Mansion is one way, Luzhou is another road, before the autumn plan to Henan Huaiqing Mansion, still in Hedong, these two lines add up to more than 30 families, just the mule and horse branch has more than 50 families, with more than 1,500 people...... Then down to Hebei Zhending Mansion, this has a lot of guests asked to Zhending, from Huaiqing to Henan Mansion, and then southeast to Kaifeng Mansion, to Kaifeng is along the river, along the way a lot of tax cards, they pointed to our dart master can block the small tax cards of those local tyrants, all the way away, the three cabinets and Wang Changfu said that this matter is too risky, we can't do it for the time being, at most to Zhending and Huaiqing, this has to be the proprietor you come back and then decide, the relationship has to be arranged by the proprietor......"

Zhang Han said with a smile: "After talking for a long time, do you mean that the expenses are too big?" ”

Li Yujing looked down at the account book and said with a smile: "I can't hide anything from the proprietor......

"Wait a minute." Zhang Han turned his head to Chang Wei and said, "What about the things that Lao Li brought?" ”

"What?" Li Yujing raised his head and said with a confused expression: "We are not a little baby, nor are we women, the proprietor still brings us something?" It's really not necessary, and we get a lot of monthly money. ”

Chang Wei took out the mirror box from his pocket, handed over a pair of polished crystal glasses, and said with a smile: "If you use it, don't say it, I'll serve you." ”

When Zhang Han left Xinpingbao, he planned to buy some good things in Zhangjiakou, glasses are one of them, this thing is more in the south, and the north is a large trade port, where people buy goods or have craftsmen polishing them.

Li Yujing took it, and after putting it on, he closed his eyes in disbelief, then closed them again, and opened them again...... He was moved.

stood up, shook Zhang Han to the ground, and said, "The proprietor, you really have nothing to say about our subordinates......

Zhang Han smiled: "Don't say those sour words now?" ”

He straightened his face and said, "Lao Li, let's get down to business, I won't read the monthly account first, and keep those reports to make up for it slowly." Tell me about the general situation. ”

"Proprietor, the general situation is that something is wrong...... Li Yujing's expression is much more solemn this time, and he has no rustiness and scruples at the beginning, he said bluntly: "Our business is getting bigger and bigger, and the account bureau is making more and more money, but the profit is not increasing much compared to when the proprietor you left." So, when I talked to the three cabinets in private, we both felt that there were a lot of people down there who were corrupt......"

"What a bastard." Liang Xing on the side was angry, stood up and scolded.

"Sit down." Yang Qiu pulled Liang Xing on the side, his expression was gloomy, Liang Xing was a sign, of course he would not be afraid of Yang Qiu, but in his heart he felt that Yang Qiu's aura was much more gloomy than before.

Zhang Han groaned and said, "Did Uncle Zhou go down there and see the situation?" ”

"Yes......" Li Yujing nodded and said: "The big cabinet wants to see how the situation of the branches in various places is, in addition, there was a disaster last year, and there was an earthquake in Jinzhong, and the price of grain is rising step by step. ”

Zhang Han set up a grain purchase and marketing chamber of commerce in Tianchengwei, there are many big grain merchants who have joined the association in the past year, but only Ma Chaoren and a grain merchant in Taiyuan Mansion have become directors, that is, large merchants who buy 500,000 stone per year, the Ma family originally had a very rich family background, in order to become a director has the power to coordinate pricing, Ma Chaoren estimated that it took a lot of effort and spent blood, after becoming a director, Zhang Han happened to be not at home, and the grain purchase price in the past few months was negotiated between Zhou Fengji and Ma Chaoren. Zhou Fengji was not very relieved, so he had to go around and see with his own eyes.

"Ma Superman doesn't have much movement." Zhang Han remembered that he had tied up Ma Chaoren's youngest son, and he had given such a powerful one, the other party would not be too ignorant of what to do, thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.

"Let's talk about the specifics...... Li Yujing was originally an ordinary tent, Zhang Han taught him the Longmen account method, and usually tried to take him to do things together, and gradually he also felt a little resolute.

"The dart master is four hundred and thirty-nine people, fifteen people of the first class, one hundred and ten people of the second class, three hundred and fourteen people of the third class, twelve taels of the first class month, at the end of last year, the proprietor was not there, there was no bonus, the second class monthly salary was three taels, the third class monthly salary was one or two eight, and the novice only included food and lodging, and did not pay the monthly salary, the monthly salary of the dart master was one thousand and seventy-five taels of money, and the monthly minister silver of the head office and the accounts of the various banks was four hundred taels, and so far two thousand seven hundred taels were practical, and the remaining silver was in the treasury of the account bureaus, mainly used for local relations, Miscellaneous expenses such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, bone-setting, ointment, etc., 1,100 taels of salt, vegetables, rice, grain, and silver from the local account bureaus every month, and 9,752 taels of silver so far, and the expenses for 10 months have been 23,204 taels......"

Li Yujing said and took a sip of tea, shook his head and said: "This silver is just the cost of General Lai Shen to raise 1,700 battalions of soldiers and bring his family, well, and military horses." ”

"However, the income has also increased." Li Yujing looked left and right, Jiang Kui and other guards stood outside the door to isolate people and others, there were only a few Liang Xing and Yang Qiujia Chang Wei in the house, all of whom were the henchmen of the proprietor, Chang Wei was Zhang Han's cousin who brought him back and forth to Liaodong, and it was better to say that the income was self-sufficient.

"There are 23 branches of the account bureau, and the orders are received every month up and down at 1.8 million taels, and now this will be the off-season, this month's policy is about 1.2 million, and the policy is the most before the year, up to more than 3 million, and the monthly income is also different, when it is less, the monthly income is 670,000 taels, and when it is the end of last year, the monthly income is 110,000 taels...... Since the proprietor left, the income of the account bureau is 910,000 taels, and the income excluding expenses is less than 890,000 yuan......"

Li Yujing's face was faintly flushed, in less than a year, the account bureau alone earned more than 800,000 yuan, who would dare to believe it?

Zhang Han also felt very happy, but what he was happy about was not the silver, in fact, in this era, the feeling of being worth 100,000 or 10 million or even 10 million is the same, the expenses are so much, and the uncontrolled purchase of land and property is just a way to die, and when the net worth accumulates to a certain extent, it is just a pure number game, because the things that should be enjoyed are enough long before making these money.

Take Zhang Han as an example, now the family is still crowded in the small courtyard where the original net worth of 40,000 taels is not that he doesn't want to move, but that there is no suitable time.

Some things are not easy to do with money, that's the truth.

"Mule and horse ......" Li Yujing flipped through the account book, the pages made a rustling sound, he cleared his throat and continued: "There are fifty-three mules and horses, more than 4,500 mules, horses and donkeys combined, 1,531 mules and porters, 4,700 monthly salaries, 2,700 salt vegetables and grain per month, and miscellaneous expenses of more than 2,000 per month, mainly shoes and clothes, the cost of making horseshoes and repairing carriages, and the cost of treating mules and horses is also a big one. There are now more than 2,000 carts, and the old ones that are not suitable for use in the past are slowly eliminated, and the cost of making new cars and eliminating old cars every month plus the cost of buying mules and horses is about 11,000, which also includes the monthly money and material expenses of Yang and Gao's craftsmen...... The monthly net profit of the mule and horse shop is around 20,000 yuan, and the overall income is 180,000 taels. ”

"There is also the income of the old store, groceries and grain have been hoarded 900,000 taels of goods, these months every month to export goods in about 50,000 taels, grain alone is more than 30,000 taels, 570,000 stone of grain, every month exports more than 50,000 stone, these two months more and more, grain prices are getting higher and higher, the total profit is more than 70,000 yuan."

"The iron yard employs 1,900 people, and the iron production is now 3.3 million catties, with a total of 11 furnaces, and the profit is 70,000 taels after deducting the expenses and the silver used to buy the mine...... Proprietor, it's not a good deal. ”
