Han Gui's old man's house is haunted, and idlers are easy. No one passed by his house in broad daylight, and the road was very depressed. Even Master Han's relatives hid far away, and they didn't dare to come over to find out, for fear of being contaminated.

But the courtyard of the Han family house was very lively, and more than 20 of Zhou Qingfeng's subordinates entered the city to live here under various names. On the third day of Han Gui's interrogation, Xu Bing mastered the extra real estate and residence occupied by this scumbag in the city. Many of the industries that have been forcibly seized are not even known, but the real estate title deeds are all in Han Gui's hands, and now they are all cheap Zhou Qingfeng.

These include a restaurant, two restaurants that also operate accommodation, a small grain store, and more than 100 acres of land outside the city. These are very practical and profitable transactions. Zhou Qingfeng really didn't expect that a mere head catcher could control so many assets, and he was overjoyed and immediately sent Old Man Sun to lead people to conduct an inventory of these properties.

As a criminal policeman, Xu Bing will never let go of this kind of good opportunity for social investigation. She threw the matter of boiling Han Gui to Zhou Qingfeng, and personally followed Old Man Sun on a trip.

Since ancient times, 'the people take food as the sky', and fools know that 'there is food in their hands, and they don't panic in their hearts', Xu Bing first checked the grain store. In ancient times, grain prices fluctuated greatly. According to Han Gui's explanation, the price of grain in this Fushun border pass is even more expensive. Even during the annual grain production season, the price of rice is more than one or two or five cents per stone. If there is a food panic, the price of grain can soar to more than a dozen taels and one stone.

One stone is about 90 kilograms, and the price of grain is very expensive. The price of grain in the interior of the Ming Dynasty is more than half cheaper than that at the border gates, and the price of rice per stone in the grain production season is the lowest or even only two yuan. In addition, the price of millet is much cheaper than rice, and it often becomes a real ration for the population at the bottom.

It is precisely because of the huge profits of opening a grain store that people with no background can not get involved in this industry at all. The biggest grain merchant in Fushun City was actually the bureaucracy headed by Li Yongfang. As a small catcher, Han Gui controlled a small grain store, and his customers mainly sold some miscellaneous grains to the poor and low-level of society, and he did not dare to compete with the real powerful.

Han Gui's grain store was opened in the city where the poor lived. Xu Bing walked into the narrow streets and alleys, passed by the sewage on the ground, and saw all kinds of poor people who were tired and tired. These people are all thin, their eyes are quite flexible, and when they see a woman like Xu Bing appearing, they all come up with a strange look.

Old Man Sun is more experienced, and when he came, he deliberately asked 'Master Han' to accompany him, and he also brought two relatively strong subordinates. But just like that, I still can't stop a pair of curious and inquiring eyes. Xu Bing will not easily sympathize. She has seen a lot of all kinds of scoundrels in the market, often all of whom are broken.

When I arrived at the grain store, there were only two men and a shopkeeper in the store. 'Master Han' came forward and snorted a few times to startle the shopkeeper, and Mr. Sun smiled and said that he would be the housekeeper invited by 'Master Han' to work part-time in the future, and he specially came to the grain store to have a look. The shopkeeper of the grain store immediately knew that he was coming to check the accounts, so he immediately invited Mr. Sun in and brought out the recent account books for reference.

The shopkeeper of the grain store was very polite, but he stared at Old Man Sun with a pair of eyes, and he didn't smile. Old man Sun has been a housekeeper for Ucha for more than 30 years, what bullshit has not been seen? He also chatted with the shopkeeper and pushed the account book directly to Xu Bing - for this woman who suddenly appeared next to Zhou Qingfeng, Old Man Sun also wanted to know how much ability she had.

Xu Bing didn't care. She took the account book and opened it, taking pen and paper from the store for notes. As a result, Mr. Sun chatted with the shopkeeper for less than half an hour, and she made a simple count of last month's payment, and pushed the statistics to the shopkeeper and said: "These accounts are not quite right, and the accounts calculated in the account books are less than 20 taels." ”

A woman with 'long hair and short knowledge' actually said that her accounts were wrong, and the shopkeeper was immediately angry and wanted to refute it. But he swept his eyes over the few numbers counted by Xu Bing, but he was dumbfounded - the accounts were calculated in Arabic numerals, but the statistics below were in traditional Chinese. This is exactly the amount of money he was greedy for ink last month, and it is exactly the same.

Old Man Sun was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that this Sister Xu not only had good skills in interrogating, but also was proficient in settling accounts. He took the paper recorded by Xu Bing and looked at it a few times, and asked the shopkeeper with a slight smile: "Is this private or public?" ”

'Master Han' has been unlucky recently, but he can accumulate prestige. He was sitting on the side drinking tea, and when he heard this, he immediately snorted coldly. The shopkeeper knew that his master was powerful, he used to bully Han Gui who didn't know how to settle accounts and be greedy for one or two, but now he met a master of auditing accounts, and he was scared and immediately knelt on the ground, begging for selfishness.

Xu Bing didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he nodded slightly at Old Man Sun. So the latter smiled and said: "It's okay to say it privately, let's calculate the accounts again, and the greedy ones will spit out." As for the shopkeeper, you ....... ”

"Keep him going." Xu Bing said.

Old Man Sun was really surprised at this moment, and the shopkeeper of the grain store who was kneeling on the ground looked up in disbelief. This kind of thing of eating inside and outside was caught by Han Gui, and he had to shed his skin if he didn't die. But I never expected that this board was raised high, but it fell gently. He turned his head and looked at the 'Master Han' who looked like 'nothing to do with himself', who knew that 'Master Han' also nodded slightly, and 'um' in approval.

"The subordinates are blinded by lard, and I am sorry for the trust of the master's family. I'm guilty, I'm guilty,......。 The shopkeeper of the grain store kept slapping himself in the face, and the two guys in the grain store were stunned. But the more he smoked, the happier he became, and if he slapped him, he could get rid of this disaster, and he hated to whip himself into a pig's head.

This is really because no one under Zhou Qingfeng can replace the shopkeeper of the grain store. Continue to retain it under the beating, and more supervision in the future is the way. Xu Bing opened his mouth and ordered: "Shopkeeper, in the future, you will be in the management of this old man Sun, and the accounts must be clear from now on, and your hands and feet should be clean." If you dare to be greedy for ink again, I won't spare you. ”

In the past, Han Gui and Master Han were greedy, and they just recovered the proceeds of corruption. No matter how greedy you are in the future, you will dig into the corner of Uncle Zhou's wall, and with Uncle Zhou's careful eyes, you will never be spared. The shopkeeper of the grain store swore again, swearing that he would not dare in the future.

But if gambling spells are useful, what else do you need to do with financial accounting?

Xu Bing could only work himself and take inventory of all the account books in the store. In the end, the shopkeeper of the grain store was greedy for more than 300 taels, and even two guys secretly took advantage of the store.

The two guys were directly expelled and fucked off, and Old Man Sun sent someone from his own team to take over. Although the shopkeeper of the grain store stayed, he was frightened by Xu Bing's sharp efforts to check the accounts, and then honestly explained his problems. Xu Bing also interrogated him like a criminal for two days before going back to report to Zhou Qingfeng.

"There are more than 30 taels of silver, 12 stones of rice, 40 stones of millet, and more than 80 stones of beans and grains. In addition, the recovery of 354 taels of greedy ink silver has been transferred to Old Man Sun into the public account. The property of that grain store consisted of a storefront, a storeroom, and two wings, which could accommodate five or six people.

In addition, I have a suggestion to use the grain store to contain the population. At present, it is a cold winter, food prices are extremely expensive, and the population at the bottom is extremely poor. On my way to the grain store, I saw several bodies frozen to death on the side of the road. Many of them were old and weak women, and although they were of very poor quality, they could be accommodated.

I specifically asked the grain store keeper that at this time of year, as long as the master's family is willing to accept it, a large number of people are willing to join the slavery. Many poor people cannot afford to raise their children and are willing to give them away. If we want to grow stronger, we must have a sufficient population. It's just that more attention is paid to education and training. ”

Xu Bing gave Zhou Qingfeng a detailed report, describing the harvest of her inventory of the grain store in the past two days. But Zhou Qingfeng looked at the little food in the store and asked, "How many people can be accommodated with such a little food?" ”

The total amount of grain stored in the grain store is more than 130 stones, about 11 tons. But if you really want to eat with an open belly, you can't raise many people. Xu Bing took out another data table and said: "Excluding the needs of our own people, based on the calculation of 500 grams of grain a day per person, there will be 210 days to support the summer harvest in July." We're probably able to contain about a hundred people. ”

A hundred?

Zhou Qingfeng smiled, there are really too few people here. But he still nodded slightly and said, "It can be contained, and the village we occupy outside the city can be used and occupied in the name of Han Gui." In addition, Han Gui also has restaurants and hotels, which should be able to provide some funds. Han Gui also has more than 100 acres of land, which can also accommodate some people.

But now that it's contained, a hundred is too little. If you want to collect more, you will collect more, with 500 as the lower limit and 1,000 as the upper limit. We still have some taels of silver to buy food, and I'll try to get some more. There are a lot of evildoers in this city, and they can rob and kill. ”

"Then our food deficit is too great." Xu Bing said.

"The food shortage is nothing, the key is how to use Han Gui's identity. According to the information we have, it is completely possible to eat black and black legally. Zhou Qingfeng said with some distress, "In the past few days, the human-faced demon has pretended to be Han Gui to go out for activities, but because it can't speak, I can clearly feel that Han Gui's prestige is declining, and its use value is decreasing." ”

It's really a success and a failure.

Han Gui, a local snake, knows more about the situation than Wang Kunpeng and Cai Zhiwei combined, and he knows all the despicable and dirty things. After repeated confirmation and cross-comparison, it can be confirmed that Zhou Qingfeng and Xu Bing have found a very valuable information gold mine, allowing them to have a considerable understanding of the entire Liaodong in a short period of time.

But the greatest value of this land snake is his identity as an official head catcher.

Han Gui himself also has several public private houses, occupying several women from good families as wives and concubines, and some even have children. Zhou Qingfeng couldn't send someone to occupy it, he secretly went to loot it at night, and he didn't get much money. In the end, when Han Gui couldn't stand it anymore, he confided in the place where he stored his money - in a silver shop in the city.

The silver shop is still in the city, Li Yongfang and Lord Li have entered the dry shares, and the person who opened the silver shop is a Shenyang businessman named Wang Kai. According to Han Gui's confession, Zhou Qingfeng attacked Fushun Ma City before and robbed the goods of this king.

"This Wang Kai is also the number one person." In the character relationship table constructed by Xu Bing, Wang Kai can be said to have a wide range of friends. "Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Fushun all have his business. Officialdom, shopping malls, markets, everywhere there are his friends. ”

Zhou Qingfeng sent someone to the silver shop to retrieve Han Gui's silver money, but was shirked by the silver shop on the inconvenience of silver money turnover, saying that he would come back in a few days. This was something that would never have happened in the past.

Xu Bing frowned, shook his head and said, "Don't go to withdraw money for the time being, businessmen are always the most sensitive." This Wang Kai is not a good person, he may be staring at Han Gui's movements, pondering and swallowing more than a thousand taels of Han Guicun. ”

Han Gui was entangled by the soul of injustice and suffered from a mouth disease, which directly affected his power status. At present, it has become Zhou Qingfeng who borrowed Han Gui's skin, and it is not in his interests to let his prestige be ruined, and 'Master Han' must be allowed to regain his prestige again, so as to facilitate the follow-up work.

"I have to make 'Master Han' majestic again, and I have to make the face demon able to speak." Zhou Qingfeng said.

"What can you do?" Xu Bing asked rhetorically.

Zhou Qingfeng took a deep breath, "I can only go to find the great monk Guo Budo who lives in seclusion in Fushun." ”
