I really hadn't thought about this before, but now that I heard him say this, and then I thought about the scene when the head of the Sky Cloud Dao handed over the handbook to me, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that the doorway inside was deep.

Practical pressed his body and leaned his face over: "It's not just Maoshan, but all Taoist sects have open and secret connections with the family." ”

I nodded: "After all, many of the inheritances of the Yan family were left behind when Zhang Daoling founded the Five Bucket Rice Dao, plus Zhang Daoling himself is the ancestor of the Taoist family, and the entanglement between the Jia family and the Daomen must be very deep." ”

Practical slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "If you have a deep foundation and are difficult to shake, you have a legacy in your hands, and it is not so easy to be suppressed." Generally speaking, the two of you have your own advantages, but after all, the time for you to go home is still too short, and many things at home are not under your control, so next, we still have to plan carefully, and we must not be careless in everything, let alone be impetuous. ”

I still nodded: "It's all up to you." ”

"Okay, that's probably the way the current situation is, let's divide the labor next." Practical leaned back on the sofa and said slowly: "Recently, you have put all your energy on improving the inheritance, and you don't have to worry about other things for the time being." Yanan should take care of the account book in the store, and it is best to bring it with him, just in case. As for me, the immediate task at hand is to keep the river safe. ”

Keeping the Hundred Rivers?

I was puzzled, frowning and glancing at the practical one, only to find that Yan Yanan was also looking at him with a question mark on his face.

There are some questions that you don't need to ask, and you know what you're thinking.

Without waiting for me to speak to Yan Yanan, he explained practically: "The account books in the store have always been managed by the Qiu Zi Mai, and now more than half of the Qiu Zi Maimen people are standing on the side of Yu Ru Yes, if I remember correctly, every year during the Double Ninth Festival to worship the ancestors, the various store fronts of the Yu family must hand over the account books to the North Hall." ”

I opened my mouth and asked Yan Yanan, "Haven't you already reported the account?" ”

Yan Yanan said: "In our family, the third master has always been in charge of the accounting, but the sixth master is in charge of the accounting. To put it bluntly, the third master listens to the accounts, and the sixth master reads the accounts. Every Double Ninth Festival, each store has to hand over the account book to the sixth master, and the sixth master will verify that the juniors have not made false or false reports when reporting the accounts, and if he finds that there is a problem with the accounts, he will write an eight-treasure fold and hand it to the third master. By the way, the sixth master is a person from the other side. ”

I said, "What is the Eight Treasure Fold?" ”

Yan Yanan: "Babao is a special form of literary language, also called Babao Wen. According to the rules of the family, once the sixth master finds that there is a problem with the accounts, he must write two secret letters in Babaowen, one to the third master, and one to keep for the record. The secret letter handed over to the third master was folded with eight treasures, and the other letter was called 'treasure root'. ”

Pragmatism picked up the conversation: "The so-called Eight Treasures is to explain the problem from eight different angles, and this is how the four protections and four losses of the family came about. ”

"What are the four protections and four losses, how come I have never heard of them?"

Yan Yanan: "You don't have much intersection with Qiu Zimai, of course you don't know these things." The so-called four protections mean that when the sixth master expounds the problem, he wants to exonerate the juniors who do the accounts from four different angles, and the four losses are to explain the seriousness of the problem from four different angles. If the people over there make a mistake in the accounts, the sixth master will definitely do his best to exonerate them, as for the people on our side, it is estimated that he will put all his thoughts on the four losses. ”

I asked her, "Is there a problem with the thrift store's accounts?" ”

Yan Yanan: "Of course, there is no problem. When did I go wrong with the accounts I made! ”

Practical immediately shook his head: "Is there a problem, but it's not up to you to decide." Even if there is indeed no problem with the account, the sixth master still has the right to ask some questions about the numbers on the account, and write these questions as eight treasures and hand them over to the third master. ”

I wondered: "So what? Since there is no problem with the accounts themselves, even if he raises some questions, it will not affect the business of the thrift store, right? ”

Practical still shook his head: "On the contrary, this eight-treasure fold is handed over, even if the third master knows that there is no problem with the accounts of the thrift store, he must check it." According to the rules of the family, once the autumn character pulse comes to check the accounts, the store must be closed until the matter is clear, and it can be reopened. As I said earlier, most of the people in Qiuzi Maimen are on the side of Yu Ruyi, if they have been grinding in your store for a year and a half, and they won't let you open the door, how will you do business? In addition, September and October of the lunar calendar are the time when the thrift store business is booming, and if you let you succeed, this year's accounts will not be able to say that there will be a deficit. ”

Yan Yanan seemed to understand what he meant: "Sixth uncle, you don't want me to keep the ledger in my hand, do you?" ”

Practical nodded: "That's what it means, this year's Double Ninth Festival, you don't want to hand in the account book, if the sixth master asks, you say that there are some things wrong in the accounts in the first half of this year, and they need to be re-verified." ”

Yan Yanan was a little difficult: "But even if I can avoid the Double Ninth Festival, at the beginning of October, I still have to hand over the account book." ”

Practical smiled: "From the Double Ninth Festival to the beginning of October, isn't there still more than 20 days, and in this period of time, anything can happen." ”

I said: "Even if the sixth master is in charge of the audit of the accounts, the third master is the fixed door of the autumn word vein." If he has the heart to protect us, do we still need to be afraid of Qiu Zimai to check the accounts? ”

Practical sighed and said, "On the contrary, if the sixth master really sends the eight treasures to it, the third master will not only dare not protect us, but will also close the store as soon as possible." When he arrives at the door of the store, the rest of the matter is even more beyond his control. ”

I thought for a moment and asked, "To avoid suspicion?" ”

"Everyone knows that the relationship between the third master and the second master has always been very good, but he did this not just to avoid suspicion." Practical said: "Now except for a jewelry store in the south of the city, the industry under the name of the third master is actually controlled by the third master, if the third master does something in the industry, the third master's family will run out of food." ”

I was also helpless for a while: "I'm confused when you say this, and I don't know whether the third master is on our side or on the side of Yu Rushi." ”

Practical said: "The third master must be on our side, and at the critical moment, he will stand up to help you even at the risk of running out of food." It's just that closing the door and checking the accounts is originally the responsibility of Qiu Zimai, and even if the thrift store is closed, although it will cause a deficit in the accounts, it will not cause a fatal blow to you, so in this matter, the third master is afraid that he will not open the back door. ”

Yan Yanan said timidly on the side: "Since it's not fatal, I'd better hand over the account book." ”

Practical glanced at her and said, "Yanan, don't worry about it so much, late payment of the account book is not a new thing in the family, and it will not break the rules of the family, and you don't have to worry about the sixth master using this excuse to splash dirty water on Ruofei's body." Oh, you probably don't know it, twenty years ago, it was the sixth master who was the first to set a precedent for late accounting. ”

Yan Yanan's eyes widened suddenly: "The precedent set by the sixth master? ”

Practical smiled: "If it weren't for the precedent he set, it would not have been difficult for the family to collect the accounts over the years." ”

I then asked him, "What do you mean by what you said just now that you want to protect all rivers?" ”

Practical didn't respond directly, but asked me rhetorically: "In your opinion, what kind of person is Bai Chuan?" ”

Since he asked so, I will tell the truth: "Bai Baichuan, he is very peaceful, but he is too tactful to be trusted. ”

Practical asked me again: "Have you thought about it, now that you and your clan are fighting infighting, most of the clansmen choose to watch coldly, for fear of being involved." Why are you desperate to stand on your side with such an old fritter as Bai Baichuan? You know, on the bright side, you have no chance of winning in this infighting. ”

I thought about it for a while and said, "After all, Bai Baichuan is the doorman of the winter word vein, maybe he didn't want to see his family suffer, so he came to help me." ”

"This is Qi Yin's idea, but it is definitely not Bai Chuan's idea." Practical waved his hand and said: "There is only one reason why Bai Chuan came to help you, that is, before he can deal with you, he must deal with him first." ”

I became more and more incomprehensible: "What do you mean by that?" ”

Practical said: "Every business of the thrift store must be filed in the grain factory, if the grain shop thinks that the business can be done, you can sell things, if the grain shop thinks that the business can not be done, even if the good things are smashed in your own hands." And the person in charge of the grain mill is a hundred rivers. Speaking of the relationship between Bai Chuan and Yu Ru, it is very complicated, on the one hand, he is afraid of Yu Ru, on the other hand, he is more afraid of the second master, plus in the early years, Bai Baichuan and Yu Ru were married, so that Bai Baichuan deliberately befriended you, so that after a hundred years of the second master, he can still have someone to rely on. ”

Yan Yanan also nodded on the side: "If it weren't for the time when I visited the store, every time there was a business in the store, I didn't ask much about it, and I would have passed it directly." At that time, I was still strange that when the second master was doing business before, I had never seen him so happy. ”

Practical smiled: "Bai Chuan is sleek and sleek, but it is also quite reliable, and if he is not by his side, he can also provide a little help." ”

I said, "How will you deal with Bai Chuan?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, he should go to the thrift store first, and then go to the trouble of Bai Baichuan." ”

"Didn't you just say that before you deal with me, you will take care of Bai Chuan first?"

"Well, he does. If you attack you in the near future, the target will definitely not be you, but Baichuan. His ultimate goal must be to drive out the capital grain mill and replace it with his own people to take over. ”
