13. Inventory (2)

After Asakusa lured Cui's mother to the mourning hall to watch the servants burn paper, she returned to the Huanhua Pavilion, where a battle had already changed. The gate of the courtyard was closed, and the rough servants were all in the courtyard and under the porch. In the main hall, Green Cloud had already brought someone to carry the mahogany box containing the account book, and there were four of them.

After the lock was opened, the box was opened, and there were four boxes of account books.

Xiu'er's eyes widened in shock, and she inhaled: "So many! How can you finish it today? ”

Lu Yun also looked at Meng Qingyun worriedly, feeling that Yuan Niang wanted to finish the inventory in one day, which was a little too optimistic.

Meng Qingyun directly asked Luyun about the classification of accounts, which were the accounts of the second room and which were the small accounts of the Bai family. sighed for a while, the assets in the second room are not as rich as the Bai family's dowry. Then he casually picked up the account book and looked through it.

Lu Yun was willing to help, and after a few pointers, he found that it was completely redundant, so he stopped talking.

A few handmaidens stood by dryly, not knowing what to do.

Meng Qingyun ignored them, and first looked intently at the first half of the account book in hand. As the heir of the chaebol, auditing is her basic skill, and both the composition of assets and the details of accounts are not as complicated as those she handled in her previous life.

The first half of the book is still a little slow, and the second half of the book is a quick browsing. The maidservants thought she was impatient. That's right, Yuan Niang used to be the most impatient with these economic affairs.

After Meng Qingyun finished reading this account, he no longer looked at the detailed accounts, and said to Luyun: "You only find out the general ledger of registered assets and give it to me." ”

Green Cloud is most familiar with these, and he took out the general ledger casually.

Meng Qingyun looked at it for a while, and first went through the number of fields under the name of the second house, the location, the species, the annual output, the management manpower, the type of the shop, the location, the annual import and export volume, the annual income and profit, the manpower, and the total value; Then the relevant information of the fields and shops on the Bai dowry list was also reviewed; Finally, he took the registration list of the treasury and the dowry list of the Bai family in his hand.

She said to Green Cloud and the other three maidservants: "If you really want to take stock of all the assets of the second room and my mother, you still need to summon the head steward and shop manager everywhere, and now is obviously not the right time. Let's order some of the family first, Green Cloud takes the key, let's go to the warehouse. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, I see.

So he ordered a few more stout servants, and the master and servant went to the storehouse in a mighty manner.

The warehouse is in the backyard, there are three main rooms in the north, three rooms in the east and west wings, nine rooms in this slip, the house is next to the house, the middle is opened, all connected, and the door is usually only open one, two are open. Different from residential houses, the walls of the warehouse are extraordinarily deep, the inside is made of blue bricks, the air windows are narrow, and the fire is anti-theft; The door of the warehouse is the wood of a hundred-year-old tree, which is heavy and abnormal, and there are two locks inside and outside, which need to be twisted with a small winch to open, and cannot be pushed open by manpower.

The wealth of the aristocratic family is valuable, and the treasury is naturally built to be extremely tight and secure.

Green Cloud took the key to unlock it, activated the winch and opened the door.

Meng Qingyun walked into the door, and looked around, neatly all kinds of high-quality furniture, densely stacked large and small mahogany boxes, it could be seen that Green Cloud took good care of these things, she casually touched the nearest box, only a little floating ash.

Lu Yun often goes in and out of the warehouse, he is used to seeing it, and the three of Asakusa, Bauhinia, and Xiu'er are completely dumbfounded.

Zijing's heart was straightforward and exclaimed: "Wow...... Our two ladies, really...... It's so rich......"

Green Cloud squinted at her, you don't know the guy, you haven't seen the real money yet.

Meng Qingyun was very calm, and said to Luyun: "Don't look at the details today, just come over with the dowry list and roughly click it." ”

"Yes." Green Cloud took out the dowry list.

Said to be a list, in fact, it is a thick fold, full unfolding, I am afraid that there must not be a zhang long, each page is written neatly and densely with hairpins.
