Chapter 492

In the next two days, when Wen Mianmian had no free time, Mr. Gu and others had already completed the structure of the college. Looking at the vacant manpower displayed on it, Wen Mianmian's temples twitched, and he began to get busy with the steward Ren.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy, and these vacancies must be recruited as soon as possible, so that the academy can operate as soon as possible.

Yun Yang, who was pregnant halfway, came again. She had already made a preliminary plan for the security agency. She originally discussed it with Wen Lingxiao. It turned out that no one in the Wen family except Wen Mianmian was talented in business. If he talked about it, he didn't talk about it.

The aunt and sister-in-law sat down for half a day, until the whole plan was sorted out, and Yunyang stood up contentedly, holding his stomach, "I will send a letter to the sixth brother in Beixiang, so I can only help the sixth brother to help you." Points have been set up everywhere in Beixiang.”

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law have great ambitions. Beixiang already belongs to Dongshu. It is normal for merchants in the two places to communicate frequently. The delivery of goods must be the top priority. They don't want to give up this huge territory.

What's more, they still have conditions that others can't match.

After waiting for Yunyang to leave Wen Mianmian, she stood up and stretched her stiff limbs. Xidong walked in briskly, "Princess, the concierge received a letter, saying that it will be handed over to you no matter what."

There was no signature on the envelope, so Wen Mianmian was stunned when she opened it, waved away the waiters and sat down, with excitement in her eyes.

The letter was about the great man's "Spring in the Garden. Snow". When the sentence of the northern scenery, thousands of miles of ice, and thousands of miles of snow drifted into her eyes, she was a little excited. That feeling was that you were working hard in a foreign land alone. , I suddenly learned that a person from my hometown has come, he and you have a common language, and I feel a little close for no reason.

After reading it over and over for a while, she still chose to burn the letter. After she calmed down, she began to think about more things. Do yourself a favor.

Just when she was undecided, Yuantai's manager Wei came and brought a thick account book.

"Princess, several shopkeepers have already started paying the accounts, and there is nothing wrong with the accounts."

As he said that, he took out an account book and handed it to Wen Mianmian, "This is the account of the money shopkeeper at the dock. There is no problem with the account on the surface, but it is quite different from what the prince expected before he left."

Wen Mianmian took over the account book and looked through it, and Wei Guanshi continued: "The dock was in the hands of King Yu before, and the accounts were in a mess. Since the prince took over the dock, we have changed our own people, and all the previous accounts have been sealed and re-opened."

"During this period, the lord allocated a sum of money to build a warehouse at the pier, as well as ten berths. Many of the ten berths were rented out, and all the warehouses were fully rented during the Dongshu Goods Appreciation Fair and the New Year's Festival. There is even a situation where there is nowhere to put the goods, and there are so many ships passing by every day, and the people who load and unload the goods can be said to work in shifts, and they never rest."

"In such a grand occasion, the half-year profit of the terminal is only more than 5 taels. How can we justify it?"

Wen Mianmian didn't look carefully, she just counted the number of merchants renting warehouses above and knew it was right, because the Zhenwei Escort Bureau was located at the pier, and Yunyang told her that those who rented warehouses at the pier should say at least fifty or so. There are clearly more than 30 above, less than half.

"What is the background of Qian Guan?"

Wei Guanshi handed over his hand, "Qian Guanshi has been with the prince for more than ten years. He used to be the person of Xian Roujia and the noble concubine. After the first noble concubine left, he has been following the prince. Earlier, he was in charge of managing the Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. Later, he also took care of the spice business. There is a whole lot of business, and he is the most experienced steward in the mansion, and there has been no mistake in the accounts in these years."

Wen Mianmian put down the booklet and pondered for a while, "Do you know if something happened to Steward Qian's family?"

Guanshi Wei shook his head, "Guanshi Qian only has one son, which is very precious. He was not in good health a few years ago, but I haven't heard of any problems these years. A few days ago, he even mentioned that he would marry his son."

Wen Mianmian smiled lightly, "I will investigate this matter, but is there anything else?"

Manager Wei was a little hesitant to speak, and finally said that the accounts submitted by the various managers were not completely clean, but the estimated difference was a few hundred to 1000 taels.

Hua Jingyun had told Wen Mianmian about this before going out, and she wasn't too surprised, although the water was so clear that there were no fish, but she had no intention of pretending that she didn't know anything, and just let them continue.

This year it is a few hundred taels, and next year it should be several thousand taels. You must know that people's desires are endless.

As soon as Manager Wei left, she summoned Qu Ming, and Qu Ming was in charge of investigating the man who molested the woman from a good family that day, and the result was already obtained, "Reporting to the princess, Liu Huwei's memory is not bad, that man is indeed Treasurer Qian. His son, Qian Ping'an."

"This person is seventeen years old. He was in poor health in the early years and seldom went out. In the past two years, his health should be fine. He often goes to tea shops and restaurants. Because of money management, he is surrounded by some small merchants' sons."

"Although Qian Ping'an is not married, he already has two concubines in his family. They are girls from small merchants. It's not the first time he has molested a woman from a good family. He raped one at the pier in three months to deliver meals to his father who carried bags. The girl, it was Qian Guanshi who spent money to settle it."

This alone was enough to annoy Wen Mianmian, and Qu Ming said several things one after another, that Qian Ping'an was bragging outside under the banner of Huajingyun, even bullying male bullies, relying on his wife's status as an old man in the mansion. Female, scalded the waiter in the teahouse, beat the salesman and so on.

In this way, Wen Mianmian asked him to continue to check the treasurer of the money, and by the way, checked all the treasurers of Yuantai for her.

Afterwards, he sighed, and sighed to Nanny Fang, "Once the incident happened in the Zhao family, every family was busy rectifying the whole house and cleaning their butts for the previous affairs. I am also glad that although I have no great skills, the whole house is still under the control of me." Let’s not talk about one mind and one mind, it can be regarded as pure and harmonious, I didn’t expect this disaster to come from outside.”

"A son who is in charge dares to be so arrogant. If someone takes advantage of him, he will make a fuss about the crimes of lax family management one by one before the imperial court."

Nanny Fang changed her tea again, "These things are unavoidable for every household. There are also cases of slaves bullying their masters. There are also many people who take advantage of their masters to do evil. It depends on whether they are caught or not."

Wen Mianmian took a sip of tea, sighed, turned her head and asked someone, "Do you know that Mrs. Liu has a concubine named Liu Yuankuo?"

Mother Fang thought for a while, then shook her head, "I do know about the two sons of the concubine in Mrs. Liu's house. I heard that Mr. Liu has three sons of the concubine, and I seldom hear about them. Perhaps Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu are strict in housekeeping. related."
