Chapter 12 Engraved Silk (1)
"How is that possible?" Liu Jianguan murmured. Don't say that a yellow-haired boy, even an old accountant, may not be able to find out the loopholes in these account books. Besides, it took only three days.
However, the black and white words on the paper are very clear. I have forgotten all the things from the past two years. The accounts I have written in the past one or two years are still fresh in my memory. I have found almost all of them. In amazement, he neglected that the words written by Zheng Lang at this time were far better than those of his peers.
"If you don't know, don't do it yourself. Last night, I asked Wu Sanlang to send someone to inquire. I heard that you bought a beautiful house in the city. Not only did you buy a lady from your son, but you also took out your capital to open a shop for him, and you also took a beautiful concubine. I don't understand, where did this money come from?"
"Uncle Zheng, you failed the exam many times back then, and the family had no surplus food for your life. It was because my father saw you pitiful and a person from the same clan that you begged me hard, so you made an exception to make an account. Even when the accounts were in chaos, it was because my father sorted it out for you. This is how you repay my family?"
"Master Zhang, you are also an old man in my family. Before my father died, he entrusted my family with Uncle Song, Manager Liu, and you. Don't you feel ashamed of such trust?"
"Master Liu, you are good at dyeing workers, but my family treats you well. As a court official, my father not only did not regard you as a lowly craftsman, but also gave you a heavy reward. In the store, your salary is second only to Manager Liu. What else is there to be dissatisfied? It is just that you can mention it. Why are you involved in it? Yes, since you came, several financial shops have also invited dyeing craftsmen from Xiangzhou. However, my family has been loyal and kind for generations. Do you really don't know? Have you ever been lazy for you because of this?"
Four sentences blamed the four people, but they were speechless.
At one moment, they all seemed to be confused. What was sitting in front of them was not a ten-year-old child, but a middle-aged man with a dignified temperament.
He also said: "This big thing happens, and it is impossible to be good. There are only two ways to solve it. The first is that before you ask you to greed for all the property in the store, it is better to leave your face and meet in the government hall."
"Dalang, don't." Zheng's accountant was so scared that his face looked like a slut. At this time, he had a small lawsuit. How could he have the same face to meet the ancestors of the Zheng family? After returning, no matter how naughty the boy in front of him was always an orphan and widowed mother. The mistresses were usually kind and very famous in the village. The future was over.
Not only him, but also a trace of fear flashed in the eyes of others.
More than just, they forget what kind of actions they will do to them if they forget the law they violated!
"There is another way out. I won't check the accounts in the past few years, but you can make up for the deficits I found in the past few years. As for those unknown accounts that I do not have the ability to find, it's fine. I don't want some ambiguous accounts to appear in the account book later."
"We must obey."
"Si'er, bead plate."
"Come on." Si'er handed over the abacus. Zheng Lang had a few seconds and divided the total amount of deficits, and said, "The total is 6,834 pieces and 622 cents. It's just four years of your greed. Do you know, how will the court's law be punished for you just by this huge account?"
Several people had a look of earth.
"You are only concerned about greed, but you don't know the criminal law. You are doing this in disguise, as you follow the master's family's stole the secrets. During the Emperor Taizong, those who steal the secrets of the five sects were stolen, those who stole the five sects, those who stole the five sects, those who stole the five sects, those who stole the five sects of the secrets were punished for three years, three sects, two sects, one sect, one sect, and more than seven sects of the secrets were reported. Do you know the meaning?"
This is slightly different from theft, but the number is huge and the trouble may not necessarily lead to death.
All four of them softened. Big drops of sweat dripped from Manager Liu's face, and a dark and dead spirit rose from Liu Donglian's thin face. The fat Zheng accountant's fat face was as if it was raining. The oldest Chief Zheng knelt directly on the ground and said, "Dalang, spare us, we will not do it again in the future."
"Well, I'll give you a chance to correct it, but you must sign and seal it on it. The more than 6,000 yuan of money must be filled in before the New Year. Also, I will put that account book at Wu Tuiguan's house. A few days later, I will send someone to copy two copies, one for you, one for you, one for my own home, and one for the Wu Tuiguan's house for storage. The grandson trained the army for the King of Wu, and the palace maids couldn't laugh. The grandson said I didn't say it, and said it again. Let me line up again, laugh again, and kill the second beloved concubine of the King of Wu. If you commit it again, you will understand."
“Yes, yes.”
In a frightened state, the four of them forgot the strange thing in Zheng Lang's hand. They remembered afterwards, what was that? Why did the accounts settled so quickly?
"Let's go." After putting the bill in hand, he walked out.
Many people outside were so proud that they broke the matter out. They had different opinions on this matter. Some people believed that when doing business, they would make money and lose money. Besides, they didn’t lose much, about 300 jin. If they put aside the 500 jin spent by this prodigal son, they would still make a small profit.
But some people also see some problems. The house belongs to the Zheng family, which saves the cost of renting. It is also one of the leaders of the industry and has an advantage. There are two workshops in the backyard, which is obviously unreasonable to say that small profits are obvious. However, since these few people dare to be greedy, the account will be very strict. How can you, a little kid, find out clearly?
There are various statements, but no one has a good impression of Zheng Lang.
I saw a few people walking out and looked around curiously.
The result made them very strange. The prodigal son was very peaceful and the word "peaceful" was the most popular in the Song Dynasty. He killed one person in ten steps and left his name without leaving a thousand miles away. He was rejected in the Song Dynasty. However, under the spirit of the entire society that values Confucianism, elegance and peace became the standard for scholars and officials.
With this kind of demeanor, it is not like the rumored prodigal son.
He looked at the two people behind him again, a **-year-old little maid with two pigtails, jumped happily, which was adorable, and his face looked even more joyful. There was also an old servant who smiled like drinking honey wine, and wrinkles were folded one after another, so he could pick up the anus.
But the four shopkeeper Liu and the others were in a state of dismay, as if they had lost their parents.
Could it be that this fart child really found out the problem? But no one spoke, and it was not easy to ask. Everyone was filled with countless curiosity. They looked at Zheng Lang attached to the ear of the third son of the military commander, saying a few whispers, and boarded the ox cart and left.
...
"Dalang, why did you let them go?" Sier was happy. His little master had the ability, but he was slightly dissatisfied with the treatment.
"What should I do? I will sue them to the government, but I will only recover the property. If I get involved in the government, even if I recover the property, I will be stripped of a layer of skin. I will invite the shopkeeper to come in the future. They are familiar with the business in the store? I heard that after we investigated, I will sentence the shopkeeper Liu and others to a heavy sentence, either dead or dead, and I am afraid or not?"
"Yes, Dalang, it's very reasonable."
"I'm not just these things. I'm not planning to be a businessman. I'll have to take the scientific exam in the future. For money, I'll be willing to break up with the servants at home and make trouble for the government. What will others think in the future?"
"But they..."
"With this handle, I'm sorry they won't dare to do it anymore. But it's very likely that they don't have the intention to continue to run for my family, but there's no hurry. After I go back, I'll ask my uncle's family to invite two people for my family to make a smooth transition. If you know your mistakes can be corrected, give them a chance. If you can't correct them, you'll fire them."
"You can't guess Dalang's thoughts," Song Bo laughed happily. The Zheng family is saved!
This fight was really done, and it was a hit!
Zheng Lang sat on the ox cart and pondered.
His own store business is still very good, but through observation, several companies are more prosperous than their own. This is not because of the weak management of several people, but because of their father's power and poor resource allocation after their father's death. Some of them are absent-minded in their management, just thinking about how to change ways to put the money into their waists.
But if the business becomes prosperous again, you must maintain a certain technical advantage. It is not enough to dye cloth alone.
Therefore, he remembered a famous craft, silk carving!
