The flower wine upstairs was past thirty, and the sound of laughter, the sound of children running, or the sound of scolding was incessant, but it was not as intense as the sound in the room, which could not help but be intense, and the tone was surprisingly consistent.

An hour ago, Wang Yunshan and the four elders of the clan walked in slowly, and sat down one by one at the high-profile Wang family's family meeting, which had slowly kicked off.

Wang Yunshan sat in the middle of the position, the crutches in his hand were in front of him, his hair was gray, and his eyes were as sharp as a falcon, but the drooping eyelids hid the sharpness of this trace again.

"Today, I called everyone back in advance to reconcile the accounts, and we all know why, something happened in the family, it is not big, it is small, it is not small, the accounts have been completed, and each room will talk about it." Wang Yunshan is straight to the point, without the festive atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

As Wang Yunshan's voice fell, the shopkeeper below began to whisper, and the originally solemn ancestral hall was as noisy as a vegetable market in an instant.

"Knock knock...... Wang Yunshan's crutches slammed on the ground three times, and the sound was suppressed.

"Don't say I'll say it......" A shopkeeper stood up, saluted to the big house, and then asked: "Since everyone knows that the cause of the matter started from the dispute between the emperor and the merchant two months ago, today you shopkeepers are here to explain the law, tell the truth, there are the elders in the clan, there are the shopkeepers below, there are a few things that are better to take out and cool off." ”

It was the shopkeeper of the second room who spoke, Zhang Zhihang Zhang, who had been under the second room for ten years, and he was also an old man with more seniority, and he still had a little weight in speaking.

"The matter of the imperial businessman, according to the analysis of the accounts, has been going on for two years, such a long time, 500,000 taels have been misappropriated from the accounts, 500,000 taels, such a big deficit, if it weren't for the East Window incident, we would still be in the dark, Miss, there must be an explanation for this matter." Zhang Zhihang asked.

"In the past two months, the Yang family, the He family, the Sun family, and the Han family have been squeezing our business, reducing price runs, restricting shipments, and business partners who have been cooperating for several years have also temporarily changed the agreement, and I have not had a penny in my account for two months." Shopkeeper He also stood up, his shop is in the north of Hangzhou, it was originally the best business, and it earned 100,000 taels last year, and it is also the most powerful.

Shopkeeper He said: "Not only that, but the business of Shopkeeper Sun and Shopkeeper Liao is not much better, it doesn't matter if it is yellow this year, but what should I do next year and the year after?" There must always be a speech and a conclusion, otherwise everyone is so busy in vain, won't it be a mess? ”

"If the deficit here lasts until the end of the year, my side will not be able to withstand it, and I will have to move the deposit in two months, and it will be closed in less than a year, and I can't afford this responsibility, and now it is not a question of whether it can be changed, it is a matter of life and death."

"yes...... I'm ...... over there."

On the other hand, Wang Houchen and Wang Bonan, although there is no joy in their faces, but it can be regarded as normal, Wang Gongyong has been drooping his eyelids from beginning to end, listening to these people very carefully, some of the shopkeepers were still under his hands two months ago, and some of the shopkeepers have always been respectful.

Wang Ruoyan was holding a peach box in his arms, the box was not big and inconspicuous, just in his arms, listening to your words and my words, but his heart was getting colder and colder.

From time to time, the shopkeepers would hand Wang Yunshan and several elders one or two account books as evidence.

Several elders at the table flipped through the account books, sometimes communicating, sometimes shaking their heads, and some even looked at Wang Gongyong and Wang Ruoyan, full of disappointment.

This situation lasted for most of the hour, and everyone's opinions have begun to converge, Wang Gongyong is now disabled and can no longer lead the Wang family to turn the business around, Wang Ruoyan not only embezzled more than 500,000 taels of silver from public funds because of the imperial business, but also made the Wang family almost stagnant in two months, and then go down, the Wang family is really going to withdraw from the Hangzhou business community, Wang Gongyong wants to give way, to whom, to let the elders in the clan decide, Wang Ruoyan can no longer take over the Wang family's business, and honestly be a lady.

There are 30 shopkeepers present, these people are the mainstay of the Wang family's survival, if they are rejected, the Wang family's business is also difficult, their opinions are very important, which is why they can participate in this conference.

Wang Yuxia and Wang Yuesongben run their own businesses, and they are not in Hangzhou, but now they also need to stand in line......

"Big brother, you are old, let me and the third brother share more of these business matters for you in the future, you have worked hard for the Wang family all these years, and you should enjoy it." After everyone finished speaking, the prince finally spoke.

Wang Bonan also nodded: "Yes, the eldest brother is incapacitated, and if he continues to work like this, I am afraid that it will not be good for his health, and it doesn't matter if the brothers work hard, but the eldest brother's body is the most important, niece, am I right......"

With a simple sentence, Wang Bonan re-targeted Wang Ruoyan, who was the culprit of this matter.

Wang Ruoyan took a deep breath, spit out a long breath, slowly moved the chair, stood up, held the box in his hand, walked towards Wang Yunshan, arrived at the table, put the box on it, and turned around.

Everyone can guess what is inside, such a small box can only be used to put the account book or the title deed, Wang Ruoyan is going to hand over the right, so it is okay, so as not to make the family too ugly.

"Hehe, my niece and daughter are still filial, second brother, I see that my eldest brother is sick, and I have to find a good doctor to see it, if you smoke, ......"

"Third uncle, what do you command?" Wang Ruoyan smiled slightly, but there was no reluctance, which made Wang Bonan stunned, paused, didn't know what to say, and even what he wanted to say was lost by Wang Ruoyan's smile.

Seeing that Wang Bonan didn't speak, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, turned around, saluted Wang Yunshan and several elders, and then opened the box on the table.

"This is two million taels of silver tickets, this is the deed of four shops in Hangzhou, this is the three land deeds of Jinzhou, a total of 230 acres, this is the land deed and shop deed of Nanzhou, Yuzhou, Jiangzhou, Kezhou, Yunzhou, Hangzhou, Yichuan, Pinghu, a total of sixteen, of which 13 are in southern Zhejiang." Wang Ruoyan took out all the things in the box, a thick pile, and spread them on the table: "There are still some more, but there are not many, they are still being sorted out, they are all discounted raw materials and the like, and it may take more than half a month to finish." ”

Wang Bonan and Wang Houchen's faces turned blue in an instant, what is that, shouldn't it be Wang Ruoyan and Dafang's business shop?

Two million taels of silver tickets, Wang Ruoyan saved two million taels in just a few years? But when I heard about Jinzhou, I felt that something was wrong, Wang Ruoyan's business did not do Jinzhou at all, although there was a big house, but this time he did not come to the shopkeeper.

When he heard the remaining sixteen, his face finally turned pale, Wang Ruoyan, no, it is the Wang family, there is not so much business at all, these sixteen plus Jinzhou ......

On the table, it is comparable to the entire Wang family......

Everyone is in place, why does Wang Ruoyan have these things? The background of the big house is ......
