Dressed as cannon fodder, fake daughter, she worked hard

Chapter 154 Reconciliation
"Did sister tell you to wait for me here?"

Lingying said: "The master asked the girl to take us back to be maids, and he said that he met someone who sold himself to bury his father on the way, and bought it out of pity."

Jiang Sheng: ...

Dare to even find an excuse.

She didn't mean to refuse, in fact, she guessed before that that her sister would definitely not be at ease, so it was logical to send someone to protect herself.It's just that it's too wasteful to have a master of the Secret Pavilion by his side, in fact, it's just good to send one down.

Jiang Sheng asked after thinking about it, but Lingying didn't hesitate to change her mind at all, so she didn't ask any more.

The five went to Yunyan Pavilion together.

Zhou Qingfeng was wondering why Jiang Sheng came so late today, and was startled when he saw Jiang Sheng's arm wrapped in plaster, but he didn't ask any further questions, and directly handed her the newly completed account book.

There was more than one account book, and there was a thick one. Jiang Sheng read it for a long time before going through the pages carefully.Except for the cloud-pattern rain flower brocade and the workers' monthly bills, the other places are also good. Last month, they had a total deficit of 500 taels of silver.

Including the previous few months, there were 1000 taels.

Jiang Sheng nodded and said, "Thanks for your hard work."

There is no way to trace back the accounts that are too old, but Zhou Qingfeng has checked everything about her in the past few months.Checking the accounts not only depends on whether the money in and out of the transaction is reasonable, but also asks the person in charge one by one to clarify.

For example, regarding the cloud-pattern Yuhua brocade, you have to go to the cloth shop to ask Boss Su for the contract and confirm how much money a piece of cloth is worth.If the price is unreasonable, the price must be negotiated again, or no cooperation will be given in the future.

Jiang Sheng looked at Zhou Qingfeng, feeling rather haggard these days.

Zhou Qingfeng hurriedly said: "It's not hard."

He has a pleasant smile, now that the account has been settled, it's his turn to be promoted, right?

Jiang Sheng didn't disappoint him either: "Now the shopkeeper is no longer available, and I can't stay in Yunyan Pavilion all the time. You were originally the deputy shopkeeper, so it's only natural that you should be promoted to the shopkeeper."

In fact, Jiang Sheng didn't trust Zhou Qingfeng very much, mainly because he really didn't have anyone available under him, and Zhou Qingfeng, who had been the deputy shopkeeper of Yunyan Pavilion for a long time, was already a good candidate.

And what Zhou Qingfeng did in these accounts was indeed full of sincerity.

Corruption is everywhere, and it is too easy to put it on Yunyan Pavilion. The cloth dealer underreports a piece of cloth, and the silversmith overreports the loss of gold and silver materials... There are so many people, so you have to go carefully one by one. The harm outweighs the gains, but at least it should be avoided relatively.

She doesn't expect to make Yunyan Pavilion so big and open branches all over the country.It's just that my sister gave her Yunyan Pavilion, so I can't return it to a mess.

"If you are transferred to be the treasurer, there will be no more positions to be promoted." Jiang Sheng said earnestly, "I have an idea, as long as Yunyan Pavilion is flourishing under your management, then Yunyan Pavilion's profit will also be a part of yours. share."

After Zhou Qingfeng understood for a moment, he repeated: "Profit? Is there a small share?"

"Yes." Jiang Sheng nodded, "For example, excluding the cost last month, Yunyan Pavilion made a total profit of 18 taels. If you divide it by one ten-thousandth, you can get 18 taels of silver."

"If you can strive for a profit of 30 taels next month, that means you can get an additional 30 taels of silver."

"That's a bit of an understatement. I have this idea. If the implementation goes well, the share rate will definitely increase in the future."

In fact, it's quite a lot. Zhou Qingfeng is the deputy shopkeeper, and the monthly rate is 35 taels of silver.Even in a place like the capital, as long as you don't gamble, you can support your family more than enough, even much higher than some officials' salaries.

So he didn't have a great desire to become the shopkeeper, mainly because he was too lazy to intrigue with others, otherwise he wouldn't let the shopkeeper's own rights be emptied.Anyway, if there is nothing to do every day, there are still monthly cases to take, so let's take it easy.

But if it's a free promotion, don't take it for nothing.

The money picked up for nothing should not be for nothing.

Zhou Qingfeng grinned and said: "The boss is serious?"

Jiang Sheng said: "If you are willing, you can raise another five taels of silver per month, plus one ten-thousandth of a monthly share, and the distribution will start from next month."

"When the monthly profit of Yunyan Pavilion exceeds 30, the share will be changed to [-]/[-]."

Let's take a preliminary implementation, if there is no problem in the middle, it can also be extended to embroiderers, silversmiths, and even maids or errands.

Zhou Qingfeng nodded hastily.

Of course he is willing, why not.When I get it next month, I will show it off to my wife and celebrate.

A few days ago, my daughter-in-law had taken a fancy to Zhi Suzan, but the three sons had just handed over Su Xiu, and they needed money everywhere for pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and the family didn't have much money, and they had to save up for their daughter's dowry.Even though the plain hairpin only costs four taels of silver, the daughter-in-law is not willing to buy it.

Jiang Sheng folded the last account book together: "Okay, um... I will send an accounting office in a few days. If you have someone to choose, you can also bring an apprentice."

This is what it means for Zhou Qingfeng, who has just been promoted to be the shopkeeper, to choose a new deputy shopkeeper.

But Zhou Qingfeng said: "There are no candidates for the young ones. The boss will take the young ones."

He deserved it neatly, so Jiang Sheng didn't force it, thinking about going to the dental shop to pick some suitable people.

In fact, the shopkeeper, accountant, deputy shopkeeper, including the silversmiths and embroiderers, all applied for employment and signed a 20-year contract of living. Only the maids and errand boys were bought, and they signed a death contract.

Thinking of this, Jiang Sheng said: "Put up a notice to attract people, and if you meet a clever one, let me see it."

"Yes."

"Also—will the government take care of the accountant's fraudulent accounts?" Jiang Sheng looked at Zhou Qingfeng, then at Lingying Lingyue in Nai Lingyue of Shanzhi Mountain, and wanted to ask if anyone knew about it.

Jiang Sheng had read the laws of this dynasty, but he only skimmed them roughly, and didn't pay attention to this problem.

Zhou Qingfeng recalled in detail: "I've never heard of it. If the master's family encounters this kind of situation, they usually won't report it to the authorities."

Jiang Sheng suddenly thought: "What about the crime of theft?"

If the government does not have a clear law on making false accounts, there will always be theft. The shopkeeper and the accountant have indeed embezzled her money.

Zhou Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment: "It should be possible."

"Yes, 'Any act of secretly stealing public and private property for the purpose of illegal possession is called theft'." Lingyue gave a definite answer, and said, ""Xiao Law" contains that "if the stolen goods are more than a hundred taels, the left toe must be cut off." , beaten seventy with a stick, and exiled for three thousand li after being tattooed."

Jiang Sheng's eyes brightened slightly.

I also heard Lingying say: "If you have similar questions, you can just ask Lingyue directly. She will memorize all three volumes of "Xiao Lv".

Lingyue pursed her lips and said nothing, her face flushed slightly.

Jiang Sheng asked: "What if you return the silver taels you got after the theft?"

Lingyue's simple words were shocking: "The crime is the same."

"Then Lingyue, do me a favor." Jiang Sheng tilted his head and smiled.
