Chapter 55: What a genius!
"Xu Wenzhao, you have made these accounts into a lot of flowers, thousands of account books, various expenses and income, etc., and there are hundreds of data every day. Shen Lang said: "It's really whimsical that you want to hide the truth in these complicated accounts." ”
"It's useless for you to make any bells and whistles in your accounts, I just need to grasp the core data of the annual income and expenses of Earl Court. ”
"The Xuanwu Earl's Mansion has four major items, the grain of the fiefdom, silk, the iron of Wangya Island, and the salt!"
"There are also six main expenses of the Earl's Palace, including the payment of personnel and taxes to the feudal monarch, the military expenditure of 2,700 troops, the expenses of various festivals and celebrations and the entertainment of VIPs, the procurement of daily necessities, and the construction of fiefdoms. ”
"The focus of your greed for ink is the repetitive expenditure of personnel, the construction of fiefdom projects, and the procurement of daily necessities. ”
"Of course, this is just your early method of greedy ink, and in the later stage, your ambition became bigger and bigger, and you even went deep into the army and salt and iron of the Earl's Court. ”
Shen Lang said sharply: "The same army of about two thousand seven hundred, the composition of infantry and cavalry has not changed much, taking into account the changes in prices and the changes in the samurai, why is the expenditure of this army increasing every year, and it is increasing faster and faster?"
Xu Wenzhao's face turned pale, and when he heard this, he said loudly: "Lord Earl, even if I am mad again, I have no right to meddle in the private army of the Earl's Palace, and it is ridiculous to say that I am greedy for military expenses. ”
"Yes, you don't have the right to be greedy for military spending. Xu Wenzhao sneered: "However, every year, the army's horses, armor, weapons, etc. will be damaged, and they will be replaced." So where are these obsolete weapons, armor, etc., gone?"
Xu Wenzhao said: "Of course, it's re-forged?"
Shen Lang laughed and said: "Then why hasn't I seen this increase in the iron output of the smelting workshop, or the annual increase is getting smaller and smaller." ”
Shen Lang said again: "Also, one of the largest sources of revenue for the fiefdom of the Xuanwu Earl Mansion, salt and iron, why is the output declining significantly every year?"
Xu Wenzhao said: "Then how do I know?"
Shen Lang said: "That's because every time you hand over salt and iron, you handle it." By all sorts of means, you will lose the production of salt and iron, and then you will take it for yourself and buy and sell it privately. ”
"Hahaha. Xu Wenzhao laughed and said: "You don't have any evidence at all, it's completely self-speculation." ”
"Evidence?" Shen Lang sneered: "You are too greedy, these salt and iron that have been drifted by you also need to be packed in sacks, bamboo baskets, and carriages and boats. The production of salt and iron has declined, and the purchase of sacks and bamboo baskets should also have decreased, but no, on the contrary, it has increased, and this is the evidence, this is the flaw you exposed. ”
Then, Shen Lang pointed out the data on the table to the earl.
"Father-in-law, the data on this is clear. Shen Lang said: "You can see it at a glance just by looking at it." ”
When Lord Earl took Shen Lang's report, his hands trembled slightly.
Although he has a soft temperament, he can look at people.
At a glance, I could see that Shen Lang was confident, and Xu Wenzhao's color was fierce.
Therefore, I have not yet looked at this report to be able to judge.
But when he actually saw this report, the Earl was still shocked.
Shen Lang was able to make the account data so clear, all kinds of income, all kinds of expenses, clear and clear.
Even a layman like him can see it through at a glance.
With this ability, it's really amazing.
And what's even smarter is that he doesn't pay attention to the fake accounts made by Xu Wenzhao at all, and he doesn't dwell on the details at all.
Instead, he directly grasped the two fundamental data of the annual income and expenditure of the Earl's Palace, and it was useless to let Xu Wenzhao make the accounts colorful.
However, the loopholes in Xu Wenzhao's accounts were still caught in countless places by Shen Lang.
Everything is real and clear.
For example, during the Spring Festival celebration the year before last, the Earl's Court purchased 1,000 bottles of wine more than in previous years, but it didn't finish it afterwards, and the 1,000 bottles of wine were taken and refunded, but only a 70% discount was returned. As soon as this one entered and exited, the Earl's Court lost dozens of gold coins.
This Xu Wenzhao's method of making money is really full of tricks, which is an eye-opener for the earl.
Lord Earl trembled and flipped through Shen Lang's reports.
Inside, there is anger, amazement and delight.
The anger, of course, was because of Xu Wenzhao.
And the amazement and joy are entirely because of Shen Lang.
I didn't expect this son-in-law to be so smart and so understanding, and he could check these accounts clearly in just one night.
This...... How does this work?
The Earl is not proficient in arithmetic and is completely unimaginable.
It can be seen from this that the Earl is also a remarkable man.
At this point he should have been completely immersed in anger, because he had been betrayed, and the Earl's Court had lost so much.
However, he had extra thoughts to rejoice in the excellence of his son-in-law.
"Let Mr. Lin come. The Earl ordered.
A moment later, Old Master Lin came.
"Look at it, this is the account that Shen Lang made last night. "Lord Earl.
After Old Master Lin took it, he read it carefully.
Then, he was completely stunned!
first raised his head and glanced at Shen Lang, and then buried his head in reading these reports.
W-how is this possible?
In just one night, Shen Lang really checked all the accounts clearly.
W-how did this work?
It's completely unbelievable!
The layman saw it, but he didn't think it was too remarkable, Old Master Lin was an insider.
Therefore, it is difficult for any words to describe the shock in his heart.
"How?" said the Earl.
"Genius, genius. Old Master Lin bowed down and said, "Congratulations to my lord, the heavenly generals are talented in my Xuanwu Earl's Mansion." This kind of arithmetic talent, this kind of accounting method, is unheard of and unseen in old decay. ”
Lord Earl smiled slightly, and said to Shen Lang: "Don't be proud, you know?"
"Yes. Shen Lang said.
Then, Lord Earl looked at Xu Wenzhao and said in a cold voice: "I have relied on you for more than 20 years, I know that your hands and feet are not clean, but when the water is clear, there are no fish, and I also turn a blind eye, I didn't expect you to be so mad!"
The Earl was hard to be angry, and he was furious.
Xu Wenzhao's face was pale, and he trembled.
He felt like he couldn't breathe!
The cold sweat on his back kept bursting out, and his whole body couldn't feel a trace of temperature.
The Earl said sharply: "So far, what else does Xu Wenzhao have to say?"
Xu Wenzhao gasped desperately.
At this time, you must not admit your guilt, and if you admit it, it will be over, and you must resist to the end.
He's going to wait until the big guys behind him save him.
And the gold coin he hid was the foundation of life-saving.
Xu Wenzhao gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Earl, what is the trouble if you want to add to the crime? The Earl's Mansion is in financial deficit, so you want to start with us? Just take me down, why do you still pour dirty water on my head?"
The Earl trembled with anger, patted the dozens of pages in his hand and said, "Aren't these still evidence?"
Xu Wenzhao said: "Catch the thief and catch the dirty, you keep saying that I am greedy for 30,000 gold coins, where are those gold coins? What is the evidence? Take it out!"
"Catch thieves and dirty, say I'm corrupt, where are those gold coins? Where are they?"
"Shen Lang doesn't learn and has no skills, his mind is not right, and he wants to condemn me with what he scribbled?
"Lord Earl, I was just hired by you, I am not a slave of the Earl's Palace, the Earl's Court has no right to deal with me privately, I have the fame of the Great Yue Country!"
What does it mean to be trapped and fighting, and what is it that if you want to destroy people, you must first make people crazy?
That's it.
Xu Wenzhao staged all these ugly pictures vividly.
The Earl was really trembling with anger.
He didn't expect that once people tore their faces, they would be so ugly.
People are so shameless. Was it because he was so tolerant that the thieves lost their fear of him?
Xu Wenzhao shouted loudly: "Everyone come and see, Aunt Shen is going to get rid of dissidents, and someone is going to do something to us, the old people of the Earl's Court." ”
However, the whereabouts of the gold coins embezzled by Xu Wenzhao are the most important.
Lord Earl clenched the cup in his hand, took a sip of tea, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said calmly: "Xu Wenzhao, hand over this gold coin, read it in the love of more than 20 years, you can spare you from death." ”
The financial crisis facing the Earl's Court is now known best only in the hearts of the Earls.
If this gold coin can be recovered, it can be greatly relieved.
At this moment, Xu Wenzhao was even more sure in his heart that this gold coin was his life talisman. His life was not worth much, but the gold coin was very important to the Earl's Court, and of course it was also a huge attraction to the big men behind him.
Xu Wenzhao said loudly: "I am not corrupt, how can I hand over the gold coins? All of this is Shen Lang is framing him, I hope that Lord Earl will see it, so as not to chill the hearts of the old people in the Earl's Mansion." ”
Xu Wenzhao desperately wanted to make things bigger, which made people panic.
The most important thing in the Earl's Court now is stability and unity, he has to find a way to put everyone in danger, and he is not the only one who is enriching his own pockets anyway.
Shen Lang took a step forward and said lightly: "Xu Wenzhao, you have just lost your last way of life. ”
Xu Wenzhao sneered: "Anyway, I didn't embezzle, you show evidence? You take out the gold coins I embezzled?"
If you don't have a face, you're invincible.
"I'm going to make you die a blinding and miserable death. Shen Lang squatted down and said, "Don't say it, I really know where your secret vault is?"
"You're dreaming!" Xu Wenzhao said with a smile.
His secret vault was known to only two people, him and his eldest son.
Even his wife didn't know, and it was impossible for Shen Lang to know where he hid gold.
Do you want to blackmail me? When Xu Wenzhao is a three-year-old child?
Shen Lang took out the note from his arms, handed it to the earl, and said, "Father-in-law, let's go to this place together and see Mr. Xu Wenzhao's secret vault." ”
Lord Earl took a look at it and said in surprise: "Lang'er, can you really recover this gold coin?"
If it can be recovered, it will be a great achievement, and it will greatly alleviate the financial crisis of the Earl's Court.
Shen Lang said: "Ninety-nine percent!"
The earl said in a loud voice: "Jin Zhong, Jin Hui, you lead a hundred cavalry, escort Xu Wenzhao to dig up his secret vault, and everything is at the disposal of your uncle." ”
