Qin Ziheng let out a long sigh, touched Qin Xuan's head and said, "Your mother has something to do now, she is not here, when her mother comes back, she will definitely come to see you, Xuan'er and her father live here well, and wait for your mother to come back, okay?" ”
Qin Xuan is a very well-behaved and smart little girl, after listening to Qin Ziheng's words, she nodded again and again, "Okay, no matter how long it takes, I will be here waiting for the young man to come back, daddy, you have to accompany me, when the mother comes back, we will let the young live with us, okay?" ”
Qin Ziheng smiled slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and at this time, a guard outside hurriedly ran in, this guard was pale, as if he was in a hurry, and after running in, he said directly, "General Qin is not good, the dock is on fire!" ”
Qin Ziheng stood up suddenly, "When did it happen?" How's it going? ”
"The situation seems to be a little bad, just two hours ago, someone just came to inform you to hurry over, almost all the people on the Chen Mansion have already passed. Pinshu.com "
After listening to the guard's words, Qin Ziheng didn't think much about it, handed over Qin Xuan to the nurse and the housekeeper, and hurried to the dock on horseback, after Chen Youyi left the capital, everything here was handed over to Mo Xincheng to manage, and Wang Huan helped at the dock.
Although Wang Huan is very loyal and has good martial arts, he is a rough man after all, and his management is still a little worse than Xue Fan, Chen Youyi has only been gone for less than a month, and the dock is on fire.
Qin Ziheng hurried to the dock and found that there was a fire, there was a warehouse, which was completely set on fire, and it seemed that it could not be extinguished, I didn't know how many items were in the warehouse, and the people around were running back and forth, carrying water to extinguish the fire.
Qin Ziheng instructed the people around him, "You go back immediately, call all the people who can be called from the house, and send some people to the barracks to help put out the fire here!" ”
That person ran out, and soon someone rushed over, all of them were Qin Ziheng's subordinates, and after they came, everyone helped put out the fire.
Just this one
The fire was too big, it took several hours to finally extinguish it, and at this time it was already evening, and everyone didn't care about eating and cleaning up the others, so Qin Ziheng ordered the people here to immediately count the goods, and they must figure out how much was missing, how much was lost, and how much was left.
At this time, Mo Xincheng and the housekeeper both came to Qin Ziheng after fighting the fire, Qin Ziheng was a little angry, stared at the two of them and asked, "What about Wang Huan?" Isn't he primarily in charge of things here? Why is it on fire? Nothing like this has ever happened before, why is it suddenly happening now? ”
Mo Xincheng and the housekeeper glanced at each other, but shook their heads at the same time, Mo Xincheng said, "We don't know where Wang Huan went, and we have been looking for him for a long time, but we still can't find a trace, and we asked a lot of people, but those people said that they had never seen Wang Huan." ”
Hearing this, Qin Ziheng became even more angry, "Haven't you seen Wang Huan?" What does this mean exactly, isn't Wang Huan in charge of the dock business? ”
However, Mo Xincheng and the housekeeper didn't know what was going on, this fire came too suddenly, and Wang Huan couldn't be found, if they asked the people here, they didn't know what was going on, and no one could say why.
Looking at Mo Xincheng and the housekeeper in silence, Qin Ziheng let out a long sigh, "Mo Xincheng, you know what is going on here, and the two of you are the housekeeper, together with the two of you, take stock of all the goods here, and see how much there is loss, I'll wait here, give me a reply as soon as possible!" ”
Now it should be these things to do, the wharf is mainly a place to store goods, and many goods here are stored here by those merchants, if it is burned because of the fire, it must be Chen Youyi who will lose money.
But if this matter is found to be man-made, then you can find this person to lose money directly, but if this matter is really just a fire caused by a management error, then Chen Youyi will have to pay a lot of silver, not to mention, looking at the past, many places on the dock have been burned, and Qin Ziheng's heart is also extremely anxious.
After Mo Xincheng and the housekeeper listened to Qin Ziheng's words, they hurriedly went to do things, Mo Xincheng is in charge of the accounts here, so
I knew more about the situation here, so I first found some attendants who worked here and asked about the accounts here and where the registration books were.
Those people told Mo Xincheng all of them, and Mo Xincheng breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw the intact ledgers, fortunately, there was no loss in these ledgers, and all of them were here, so it would not be difficult to investigate how much things had been lost.
"You guys hurry up to the warehouse, help with the inventory, put the good things together, put the bad things together, and then determine what can be used and what can't, and I'll be over in a while!" Mo Xincheng said to the two attendants, they left here in a hurry, and Mo Xincheng patiently looked through the account books, and then hurried to the warehouse with the account books, calculating the loss of goods.
The housekeeper began to count the casualties of the personnel to see if anyone was injured in the fire, according to Chen Youyi's business philosophy, if someone is injured, they will have to pay money to others, which is also to be figured out.
The two of them acted separately, this time they were busy at the beginning, and they were busy until late at night, Mo Xincheng counted the goods over there, and calculated carefully, if they really want to lose money, they will probably lose 2 million taels of silver, 2 million taels, which is enough for the entire Chen army for half a year.
And the good news came from the housekeeper's side, although the fire came suddenly, but it mainly occurred in the place where the goods were stored, so there were not many casualties.
After the two of them met, they came to Qin Ziheng again, and Mo Xincheng told Qin Ziheng about his estimated value, "The loss of the goods is two hundred thousand taels of silver, and the loss of our warehouse and other facilities is about five hundred thousand taels of silver, which adds up to two and a half million, and if the other fragmentary losses are also added up, roughly calculated, after this fire, our loss is about three million vehicles!" ”
After hearing this amount, Mo Xincheng gasped, "How can there be so many?" ”
"Because there are a lot of valuable things stored in this warehouse, the value is relatively high, and in addition, we have to compensate not only for these valuable things, but also for some other losses of the merchants, which must be counted and written in the contract when signing the contract!" Mo Xincheng explained seriously.
The fat wife of the general of the splendid countryside is a little sweet
