Chapter 477: Qing Banquet Complaint
As dinner approached, Elu appeared and took away the county magistrate and the master. The shopkeepers and accountants of Yuelai Inn and Linglong Pavilion were called to the side hall and were sorting out the account books of the store in recent years.
In the study of the main hall, Qing Yan sat in the window with a big mouthful of herbal tea, and her anger could not be suppressed.
Her little face drooped instantly after seeing the account book recorded in the store. It was really annoying. These people did not pay attention to the account book. Some of the vouchers were unclear, and they looked that the handwriting was not clear, which did not meet the regulations of the banquet.
"Master, you and the Fourth Master will have dinner first." Su Lan plucked up the courage to walk in, feeling very uneasy.
Yin looked up annoyed, and the cold gaze in his eyes made Su Lan shiver, and the next half of the words were swallowed directly.
"Si4, go for dinner first!" Qing Yan didn't even raise her head, and she was calculating the abacus beads with her right hand, and she verified the account book that she was reading with her left hand.
Afterwards, Qingyan no longer trusted anyone, just hoping that she could personally investigate the wrong accounts. Her stubborn little move gave Yin a headache.
The two of them were holding the account books in front of each other. Just now, they browsed roughly. A small county town could be distributed to the officials in Jiangnan above about hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, which was higher than the score of his prince.
After finishing the account book, Qingyan was so angry that he couldn't eat anymore. He lost nearly 20,000 taels of silver every year. Since the Yuelai Inn and Linglong Pavilion were opened here, they have to pay tribute to officials every year. If some benefits are given, Qingyan would not stop it. After all, it is business.
Now, she was so angry that her face turned pale. Yin took Qingyan into her arms with heartache and patted her on the back.
"As much anger hurts the body!" Yin said softly.
Since the afternoon, Yin hasn't spoken much, and the air conditioning in his body has become stronger and even Su Peisheng dares not approach, for fear that he will be frozen by Yin's air conditioning.
Qingyan pursed her lips. She was not a greedy person, but she had no intention of being a boy who was scattered.
In the study, the two masters sat opposite each other, and the expressions on their faces became more and more congested.
Qingyan's childish little face was full of anger, and Su Lan felt very distressed. The master paid a lot for Yuelai Inn and Linglong Pavilion. Now, the servants took the master's silver to make favors, and the relationship between the officialdom was opened up.
"Let the two shopkeepers come in!" Qingyan was not hungry at all, and was so angry that she didn't even want to drink water.
The hot tea placed on the left slowly turned into herbal tea, but she ignored it directly.
"Xiao Guai, drink water!" Yin picked up his teacup and handed it to her lips, asking her to use some warm tea.
Doctor Yuan said that he should use more water for the banquet. In the past few days, she still had a fever and should have had a good rest. However, things happened one by one, which caught them off guard.
"Si4, please put it here first, let's talk about it later!" Qing Yan's little face was tense, and she felt a little powerless all over her body.
The head of Linglong Pavilion was designed by her thoroughly, and it was more about referring to popular models. Nowadays, these heads are not only not profitable, but are sent to the county magistrate’s wife by the account in the store.
All the money spent is included, about one-quarter.
She sighed slightly, and she felt that it was not easy to do business. When she grew up, she had to consider whether the servants below were loyal.
"We have to choose the store's account again!" Yin looked at her.
Qingyan nodded, her eyes slowly began to emptie.
"Si4, this is the last time!" Qing Yan told Yin in a low voice.
One percent of the tax collected by the Ministry of Revenue was paid by two shops at the Qingchang Festival, and most of the silver was lent out by the court officials.
He nodded, it was time to speak to Emperor Ama.
The shopkeepers of Yuelai Inn and Linglong Pavilion walked in. They secretly glanced at her with a bad look. She stared at the two shopkeepers tightly.
The two shopkeepers were only around forty years old, and they were both selected by Yin, so Qingyan had always trusted them very much.
Yin sat aside, unable to help but feel ugly. He really didn't expect that he would be plotted against.
"Please pay tribute to your master!" The two shopkeepers were handed over to Qingyan and worked diligently.
Qingyan threw down the account book and asked the two shopkeepers to see it in person. She obviously felt that she had done enough. The annual account check had been found by these people. As the time for the account check was approaching, the accountants below began to make fake accounts.
"Master, this is from the slave shop, this is." The shopkeepers felt a little nervous when they looked at the two account books.
Qingyan is a generous master and rarely makes trouble. As long as the servants are loyal, they will pay more dividends every year, and the situation between the two families is better. They do not want to lose such a good job.
"I'm not obsessed!" The shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn took a look and understood what was going on.
The store’s account was basically taken out of the hands of the person given by Concubine Tong. In the inner account of the account, a large amount of silver was recorded to be transferred, and they all knew it.
Yin regretted it very much. Mrs. Tong was very moved by Yuelai Inn and Linglong Pavilion. He even sent such a person to take charge of the account book. Isn’t this obviously giving the Tong family a chance?
"Don't tell my mother!" Qing Yan pursed her lips, and there was no blood on her lips.
She pondered for a moment and finally chose to hide it.
The concubines of the Tong family often went to Linglong Pavilion to cause trouble. In the end, Concubine Tong resisted the pressure from the family and personally ordered the shopkeeper of Linglong Pavilion to not give any discounts to the Tong family.
For this reason, every time Mrs. Tong meets with him, she will talk about Concubine Tong.
"Xiao Guai, if you can't hide this matter, we won't talk about it, it may make your mother passive." Yin knew that in Jiangnan, not only did her mother's men, but also many palace concubines' eyeliners.
The two stores are the most dazzling, and they will appear if there is a little bit of trouble.
ah?!
Qingyan looked at him in confusion. Concubine Tong would get angry when she heard that she had no choice. After all, she was her mother.
"My mom has a bad relationship with the Tong family. Mrs. Tong hurt her mother several times because of Longkodo's incident, and the relationship between the two sides became weaker." Yin smiled coldly.
Since he came over, he has been helping his forehead to escape from the control of the Tong family.
After persisting for a few years, he finally completed the Jiangnan incident. He wanted to take this opportunity to break up his relationship with the Tong family.
In the harem, with the support of the prince and his mother clan, the palace concubines may be favored by the emperor.
"Okay!" Qingyan thought about it, he would not dig a hole for her.
Yin breathed a sigh of relief and opened a letter paper handwritten letter, allowing Elu to pass it to Kangxi and Concubine Tong as fast as possible. Of course, there were four books of account books presented in one chapter.
Chapter completed!
