Chapter 48: It's All False Accounts
King Qin doesn't understand, this is not a matter of borrowing or not borrowing at all.
But how could an elegant person like King Qin ever put money in his eyes? Now that he is willing to show favor to Luo Tingchen, who has never met before, for the sake of money and food, it is already the result of caring for the victims and being forced to be helpless.
It was not easy to persuade the king of Hejun any more, so he only delayed Luo Tingchen as much as possible: "Then you don't have to come over tomorrow." Luo Tingchen just came, let him adapt to the palace environment first, and I will also explore his meaning first to see if they have any difficulties. ”
"It's good!" King Qin didn't insist anymore: "The imperial court is ready for disaster relief, and the selection of people is only a matter of the last few days." You should discuss this matter with Luo Tingchen urgently, after all, it will take time to dispatch money and grain. ”
I thought about the disaster on both sides of Jinghu, but it was a month later.
Who knows, in such a hurry......
It is only half a month before the disaster relief. With Luo Tingchen and the Roman brothers and sisters, how could they snatch back the family wealth from Pei Pozi in such a short time?
Let's let the Luo family brothers and sisters get together first.
There is really no way, so I can only let Luo Tingchen report to the official and accuse Pei Pozi of controlling and greedy for the master's wealth. used the government to confiscate Pei Pozi's greedy money.
I'm afraid that as soon as they move here, they will alarm the prince. If the prince intervenes again, things will be in trouble.
And the king of the county has a headache.
At the same time, there is also Roman.
When she came back from her uncle's house, she called Mrs. Pei over. Pei Pozi handed over the three shops very neatly, and the account books, goods, personnel, and the big and small scandals that had just been caused were all handed over to Roman.
"It's good for the young lady to go through things, so that you don't always think that my mother-in-law has a bad heart." Mama Pei put the key to the shop in front of Roman, lowered her eyes and said, "You go and sort it out, look at these shops, how much silver you have to put in them in a day." ”
"How much silver can we use now?" Roman ignores her and gets straight to the point.
Pei Mama drooped her eyelids, flipped through the account books one by one to show Roman, and finally closed the account books, lowered her hand and said, "There are only four thousand five hundred taels in total. ”
Facing Roman's questioning eyes, Mama Pei was not shocked, and her face was frank: "Miss has never been a housekeeper, so I don't know the difficulties of being a housekeeper." The masters have to use the degree every day, and none of them can be bad. The maids and subordinates have to issue regular silver every month, and the masters occasionally have to give rewards. After a month, the profits of several shops are not enough.
Besides, not every shop in our family makes money. Just handed over to the three young ladies, they have to put 1,800 taels into it every day. There are a lot of shops that post money, and my wife is reluctant to close.
With such a consumption of January and January, it is natural to look at the wealth, and there is not much left inside. ”
"It's the first time I've heard my mother talk about this, and in the past, at the end of the year, my mother would tell her mother that it was a big deal, so that my mother could rest assured."
"Isn't that the heart of Mrs. Kuan?" Mama Pei's eyes were staring at her toes, and she endorsed generally: "There are more than 100 shops, this one loses money and that one earns, and they can all be opened." Every month's income, the masters have a surplus after spending, isn't it a good profit? ”
Roman looked at her fixedly, not speaking.
The little uncle is rich and rivals the country, and he only has about 300 shops on hand. She doesn't believe in these more than 300 people, every month is to make money, and there is no time to lose.
Her family has a good location and a good supply of goods, and when it is delivered to Mrs. Pei, the source of customers is also good. In the past five years, more than ten have been shut down, not to mention, there are only 4,500 taels of silver left in the account?
The big grocery stores with better business, as long as they run well, can save 2,000 taels of silver in five years.
The old monk Pei Mama was calm, lowered her head and let Roman look at it. was really embarrassed, so he muttered again: "Those who do business, it sounds like they are very rich, but in fact, the money is in the goods." We have more than 100 shops, how much silver do we have to put into them just for purchase and inventory? ”
Roman re-flipped through the account books, and the books were clean, the entries and exits were clear, and there was no mistake.
In this way, there is nothing more to talk about.
"Mama is tired, let's go down and rest first."
Mama Pei saluted dignifiedly, turned around and left. After taking two steps, he stopped, looked back at Roman and asked, "Now that the young lady is in charge, how can we deal with the account in the future?" ”
"A pair of January, just hand over the account books directly."
"Cheng, the size of the shop in the future, the old slave has also asked the young lady to decide." She was originally afraid of Zhao Wennian, but when she heard that Zhao Wennian didn't plan to care, she had already put her heart back in her stomach-
Just by virtue of Roman, can she read the ledger and dare to do business? Even if you invite the shopkeeper, which of the shopkeepers in the world is not watching people cook?
If she asks for one, she'll be able to hold one!
The smell of milk has not dried yet, so I am in a hurry to emerge.
Look for death!
After sending Mama Pei away, Zhou Hong led Qingqing in. Looking at a large pile of account books on Roman's desk, Zhou Hong couldn't help but say: "Miss doesn't have to be tired to read it, it's all fake accounts, and there is nothing to gain if you abolish God." ”
Roman raised his head from the account book, glanced at Zhou Hong, and finally landed his gaze on the account book that Qing Qing was holding: "It's also fake?" ”
Qingqing nodded: "It's all fake." ”
She spread out the account book in her hand in front of Roman's desk and pointed it out to Roman one by one: "These dozens of receipts have been altered and changed the amount of money; The purchase price in these accounts was higher than the sales price in the market at that time; The sales transaction price given is ridiculously low. Although these accounts are hidden, there are still several places where the number of incoming and outgoing goods does not match......"
Roman picked up the account book and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, he could see that he was tired from the place Qingqing pointed out.
"The accounts are all settled in the end, and if you don't calculate them one by one, you don't understand the market of the year, and you can't find out the problem." Qingqing frowned slightly: "The level of the person who does the accounts is good, and the account books are old, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to check." ”
"What are you doing here?" Roman looked at Qingqing puzzled: "Since you can understand it, according to these account books, you can roughly estimate how much silver you have faked."
We don't need to be precise to the specific number of taels, just deduce the real number of incoming and outgoing goods from the account books, and roughly estimate the annual profit of each store. ”
"This ...... It's a little hard. ”
Roman looked at her, raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Relying on ability to eat is originally more difficult than relying on skin." ”
"The slave can estimate it, but it takes a long time, about more than a month."
"I'm short on time, half a month at most. You have to give me an accurate number to see how much money should be put into the shop in the past five years. ”
There was fine sweat on Qingqing's forehead, and after a while, he still nodded stubbornly: "Okay!" ”
"In the past two days, I will go to various shops with Zhou Hong to see what things are in the house. You have listed them in the books, and in two days I will know all the business scope. ”
"Good!"
At this moment, Mama Su brought two women who were born in: "These two are sent by the second uncle." Both of them have been with the second uncle for more than ten years, mainly helping to take care of the business and manage the accounts. ”
Two grandmothers introduced themselves, one husband's surname was Su, called Mama Su; A husband's surname is Qian, and his name is Mama Qian.
"The second master said that the young lady is young, and I am afraid that the people in the business field do not understand, so let the two of us come over to assist the young lady. I don't have any big skills, and the big and small things in the store are still sorted out. Miss has something she doesn't understand, just ask. ”
Mama Qian nodded and agreed: "I don't dare to compare with the second master, it is more than enough to compare with your mother-in-law surnamed Pei." ”
Looking at Mama Qian's serious contempt, Roman laughed unconsciously: "Then the three shops I just took over will depend on you in the future." ”
"We're here to be slaves to Miss."
Mama Qian and Mama Su glanced at each other and replied respectfully: "The second master of the shopkeeper is ready, and the young lady can call it at any time." Mama Su and I waited by Miss's side, and when Miss couldn't use it, she would give us a room and just eat and drink three meals. Without Miss's instructions, we wouldn't just walk around. ”
This is the meaning that the situation of Wanzhaoyuan will never be reported to the Zhao family.
Roman was grateful for his uncle's thoughtfulness, and although he respected the two grandmothers, he didn't save money: "I have three girls here, and I also know some business things. In the past two days, I also asked the grandmothers to give some guidance and estimate the profit in the shop over the years as soon as possible. ”
"Well said!"
Zhao Wennian's mood was also quite complicated at this time.
After sending Zhao Pingniang's family away properly, Zhao Wennian went to the main hall to talk to the eldest lady.
Speaking of the White Wolf incident, when Roman was dealing with Zhao Chongan and himself, the eldest lady looked at the second brother who was a little excited, and smiled lightly: "You don't have to worry about that ghost." After a while, you go back and ask, see if that kid from Chong'an went to lead the Tibetan mastiff, was it the girl Manmana excited? ”
"Sister-in-law means ......"
"That's what you think, today's incident, you're just afraid that Manman will be a knife maker."
When she was resting in the pavilion before, the eldest lady told Zhao Wennian in detail: "That girl has been working on the idea of the shop for a long time, but Ping Niang has too many concerns and refuses to let go."
She begged at home to no avail, and used Xi'er's ability to provoke Ping Niang. Before it was done, he was given a fierce drug. If not, what wolves are you going to see? Chong'an has long been tired of seeing the white wolf, why did he go crazy and throw the mastiff in? ”
Zhao Wennian smashed it, smashed it, in the end, it came back to the taste.
He didn't mind being a knife: "That girl settles down, step by step." It's that the white wolf lost her life for no reason, and no one can say a word about her. ”
"Yes, look at the children in the family, which one is not stimulated and desperately learns skills." The eldest lady took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "When there is relaxation in the future, just mention the white wolf, and the strings can be stretched again." ”
"If Man Man was born in the Zhao family, how good it would be."
The eldest lady also sighed: "Yes! ”
Several children of the Zhao family, Zhao Chongwen is down-to-earth and willing to make progress, and he studies hard. The talent of the partial students is not high, and they are all eighteen years old, so they stepped on the line and won the lift. In the year of the middle school, the examiner was still his father's classmate, and you can imagine how much face there was in the middle.
Although Zhao Chongan is still young, he can't count on him just looking at his previous bastard.
Zhao Xi is also a good boy, but he is more than steady, but he is not enough to change. It's okay when things go well, but if something happens, she may not be able to cope with it.
"Let the children walk around in peace with their mothers, not only to learn to be as good as Brother Chen, nor to have Manman's clever scheming. As long as you can be contaminated with a little bit of unfazed bearing, it is also a great creation. ”
Zhao Wennian nodded, he wanted to discuss Luo Tingchen's proposal in the afternoon with the eldest lady, but he didn't mention it because he thought it was unsafe.
only said: "Brother Chen'er is going to the county king's mansion tomorrow to practice, but the master has not yet landed." I think...... Go visit Brother Xiagu. ”
"Ancient power?"
Seeing Zhao Wennian nodded, the eldest lady Chen Mo still couldn't make up her mind for a while: "He is such a talent, where is he willing to come to a hairy boy." Our family has supported him for so many years, and it is difficult for him to refuse if you open your mouth.
In this way, not to mention the friendship over the years, I am even more afraid that he will think that we look down on him and give birth to a dislike. ”
"Where do you dare to invite Big Brother Gu out of the mountain! He was born in a family of masters, and he has been full of peach and plum all over the world over the years, but if he is willing to recommend a person, it is also a blessing for Brother Chen. ”
Having said that, I still regret it in my heart. If you invite Gu Quan to go out of the mountain, even if it is dangerous with the king of the county, it is enough to keep Brother Chen safe.
