"How is that possible?" Shopkeeper Liu muttered. Hugh said that a yellow-haired boy is an old account room, and he may not have the ability to find out the loopholes in these account books. And in just three days.

However, the paper is written in black and white, and the events of the first two years have been forgotten, and the accounts made in the past one or two years are still fresh in my memory. Almost all of them were found. Surprised, he was negligent in the handwriting that Zheng Lang wrote at this time, which was far better than his peers.

"If you want people to know, you can't do it unless you do. Last night, I sent someone to inquire, and I heard that you bought a beautiful house in the city, and not only took a lady for your son, but also took out the capital to open a shop for him, and also took a beautiful concubine yourself. I don't understand, where does all this money come from? ”

"Uncle Zheng, back then, you repeatedly failed the test, and there was no surplus food at home, it was your father who saw that you were pitiful, and you were a person of the same clan, and you begged hard, so you made an exception to make an account, and even made the accounts messy at the beginning, or your father sorted it out for you. That's how you repay my family? ”

"Director Zhang, you are also the old man of my family, before my father died, the people who entrusted my family with it, one is Uncle Song, the other is the shopkeeper Liu, and the other is you, don't you feel ashamed of such trust?"

"Master Liu, you are a good dyeer, but my family treats you well, my father, as an official of the imperial court, not only did he treat you as a lowly craftsman, regarded you as a friend, but also gave you a heavy reward, in the store, your salary is second only to Liu's shopkeeper, what is not satisfied? If you are not satisfied, you can bring it up, why do you also participate in it? Yes, since you came, there have been a few shops with financial resources that have also invited dyers from Xiangzhou, but my family has been loyal for generations, and my aunt is kind, don't you really know? Has it ever slowed you off because of this? ”

In four sentences, he blamed four people, and they were all speechless.

At a moment, they all seemed to be dazzled, and the sitting in front of them was not a ten-year-old child, but a middle-aged man with a dignified bearing.

He also said: "This big thing has happened, and it can't be good." There are only two ways to solve it, the first one, before it makes you embezzle all the property of the store, it is better to put aside your face and go to the government court to meet you. ”

"Don't, don't." Zheng Shufang was frightened and his face was like earth, this time, he had a small lawsuit, and what face did he have to meet the ancestors of the Zheng family, after going back, no matter how stubborn the young man in front of him was, he was always an orphan and a widow, and several housemothers surnamed Ge were usually very kind, and they were very famous in the township. Your future is over.

Not only him, but also a hint of fear flashed in the eyes of others.

What will happen to them if they forget the law they have broken!

"There is another way out, I won't check the accounts of the previous years, but the shortfall I have found out in the past few years, you can make up for it yourself, as for those unknown accounts that I can't find out, forget it. Yes, I don't want some ambiguous accounts to appear in the books. ”

"We'll listen."

"Si'er, bead plate."

"Come on." Si'er handed over the abacus. Zheng Lang snapped, divided five by two, calculated the deficit of the total payment, and said: "The total is six thousand eight hundred and thirty-four and six hundred and twenty-two dollars." It's only been four years of your greed for ink, ladies and gentlemen, do you know how the laws of the court will punish you on the basis of this huge account alone? ”

Several people were as earth-colored as they were.

"You are only interested in the greed of ink, but you do not know the laws of punishment. When Emperor Taizong, the thief of the five penetrations, the scepter, the black face, the prison city, five penetration, with three years, three years, two years, consistent, one year, seven or more performances. Cut, do you know what it means? ”

This is slightly different from theft, but the number is huge, and there will be a lot of trouble, and it may not be that these people cannot but be sentenced to death.

The four of them all softened, the face of the shopkeeper Liu was full of spring breeze, dripping big drops of sweat, Liu Donglian's thin face was gray and dead, and the fat face of the fat Zheng account room was like rain, and the oldest Zheng was the eldest to kneel directly on the ground and said: "Da Lang, spare us, we won't do it again in the future." ”

"Well, I will give you a chance to make corrections, but you must sign and draw on it, and the more than 6,000 yuan must also be filled in before the year. Also, I will keep that account book at the military officer's house, and every few days, I will send someone to copy two copies, one for you, one for my own house, and one for the military officer's house for storage. The grandson practiced the army for King Wu, and the palace maids laughed untidyly, and the grandson said I didn't say yes, say it again. Re-arrayed, laughed again, and beheaded the second concubine of King Wu. If you do it again, you know. ”

"Yes, yes."

The four of them were frightened, and they forgot about the strange thing in Zheng Lang's hand, and only then did they remember, what was it, and why was the settlement so fast?

"Let's go." I picked up the bill and walked out.

There were many people outside, and a few people got carried away and poked the matter out. Opinions on this matter, some people think that in business, there are times when there is money and losses, and the loss is not much, about 300 yuan, throwing away the 500 yuan spent by this loser, it is still a small profit.

But some people also see some problems, the house belongs to the Zheng family, saving the cost of renting. It is one of the leaders of the line, and it has the advantage, and there are two workshops in the backyard, which is obviously unreasonable to say that it is a small profit. However, since these people dare to be greedy for ink, this account will be very tight, how can you find out if you are a little kid?

There are various theories, but no one has a good impression of Zheng Lang.

I saw a few people come out and look curiously together.

The result made them very strange, that loser was very peaceful, the word peace was the most popular in the Song Dynasty, killing one person in ten steps, and the fierce Tang Feng who did not leave a name for thousands of miles was ostracized in the Song Dynasty. However, under the atmosphere of Confucianism in the whole society, elegance and peace have become the standard of scholars.

With this bearing, he is not like the rumored loser.

looked at the two people behind him, a **-year-old little girl, combing two pigtails, jumping happily, endearing, and his face was even more happy. There was also an old servant, smiling as if he had drunk mead, and one wrinkle after another was stacked, and he was able to pick up chrysanthemums.

The four shopkeepers of Liu were depressed, like mourning.

Is it really for this fart kid to find out the problem? But none of them spoke, and they were not very easy to ask, and everyone was overflowing with countless curiosity, watching Zheng Lang whisper a few words in the ear of the third son of the military officer, and boarded the ox cart to leave.

……

"Da Lang, why do you want to let them go?" Si'er is happy, his little master has skills, but he is slightly dissatisfied with the handling method.

"What then? Suing them to the government is nothing more than recovering the property. If it is stained with the government, even if the property is recovered, it will also be stripped of a layer of skin. Invite the shopkeeper to come in the future, are they familiar with the business in the store? I heard that under our exhaustive investigation, they will all be sentenced to Liu's shopkeeper, either death or death, are you afraid in your heart? ”

"Yes, Dalang, it's very reasonable."

"What's more, I don't plan to be a businessman, I will have to conduct scientific research in the future, for the sake of money, I don't hesitate to tear my face with the servants at home and get into trouble with the government, what will others think in the future?"

"But they ......"

"With this handle, forgive them for not daring anymore. But it's very likely that I don't have the heart to continue to run for my family, but don't worry, after I go back, let my aunt's family invite two people for my family, and make a smooth transition. If they know that they can correct their mistakes, give them a chance, and if they can't correct them, they will be dismissed. ”

"Da Lang's thoughts, how can you guess it," Song Bo laughed happily, the Zheng family is saved!

This one is really good, and it's been a week!

Zheng Lang sat on the ox cart and pondered.

The business of his own shop is still very good, but through his observation, there are several more prosperous than his own business. This is not the incompetence of a few stewards, but the reason why after the death of my father, my strength became weaker and the distribution of resources was not effective. There are also some people who are absent-minded and only think about how to change their ways and put money in their own pockets.

But if you want business to boom again, you must maintain a certain technical advantage, and it is not enough to only dye cloth.

Therefore, he remembered a famous craft, carving silk!
