Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 46 Dividends
Lin Cunde said that this matter was strange, and Lin Yunqi looked at Lin Cunde in confusion, so he explained to Lin Cunde that he had indeed given money to the eunuch.

Lin Cunde thought for a moment and said: "Uncle, go and find out. There is an official who was arrested for bribing 50 taels. You need to find out more about this matter. I suspect that this matter is directed at me. What is the purpose? I don't know. Logically speaking, those 50-tael guards shouldn't be like this. Now that they have arrested so many eunuchs and ransacked their homes, they have received several 10 taels in cash, and you are still short of this?"

"Huh?" Lin Yunqi began to think after hearing this. It was indeed as Lin Cunde said. For a bribe of 50 taels, the Jin Yiwei would arrest the person. If it was possible in the Taizu era, it is unlikely now.

"Go and ask around, and I'll ask around here too!" Lin Cunde continued to explain to Lin Yunqi.

"Okay, just what is your relationship with this Zhu Ji? I know this person is Yu Shaobao's son-in-law. I heard that he has won the trust of His Majesty recently!" Lin Yunqi looked at Lin Cunde and asked.

Lin Cunde nodded and said: "It's okay, but we haven't reached the point where we can become close friends. It's still okay to be an official, but it's hard to judge how you are a person!"

Lin Yunqi nodded, smiled bitterly at Lin Cunde and said, "I have to rely on you more today. Otherwise, I would probably have suffered a little from Jin Yiwei. It is even possible that I would be dismissed from office and imprisoned!"

Lin Cunde shook his head and said: "It's unlikely, I always feel that something is wrong!"

"Then I'll go find out!" Lin Yunqi said immediately.

After sitting for a while, Lin Yunqi and Xiao left. Xiao was grateful to Lin Cunde, and Lin Cunde quickly said it didn't have to be like this.

At this moment, Mr. Ye was somewhat aware of Lin Cunde's energy. In addition, during the recent period, Lin Cunyi would send more than [-] taels of silver back every day, which made Ms. Ye very happy.

Soon, it was time to celebrate the New Year, and the house began to be cleaned, which Lin Cunde didn't need to worry about.

On the morning of the next day, Lin Cunde was reading at home. Wang Ying came over and was very happy. Of course he was happy. There was almost 45 in cash at home, which he earned from making soap and soap.

The purpose of his coming here today was to ask Lin Cunde about the dividends and when they would be distributed. Moreover, this issue was also of concern to the Queen. Now, the reconstruction of the third battalion of the capital has begun. Troops drawn from various places have arrived and are also training. 17 Tens of thousands of troops, with people eating horses and chewing every day, and the preparation of ordnance all cost money. The first payment of 20 taels has been sent, but there is not much money left in the internal treasury.

This is the first year that Wang Meilin has hosted the Royal New Year. Wang Meilin also hopes to have a good New Year and a more grand one, but if you want to have a grand New Year, you need money.

"Shibo, please come in quickly!" Lin Cunde greeted Wang Ying with a smile.

Wang Ying was very prosperous during this period. Not only did Wang Meilin secure her position in the harem, but she also served as the admiral of the Fifth Military Camp of the Third Battalion of the Capital and was in charge of the training of the entire Fifth Military Camp. '

This proposal had been rejected by civil servants before, but Zhu Qiyu insisted on it, and the generals in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion all supported it. They also knew that the third battalion of the capital relied on the money and grain from the royal treasury to rebuild, and they also hoped that Wang Ying could get it from the queen. I want more money to train the three major camps better.

In the dispute between civil servants and generals, the generals won in the end, mainly because of Zhu Qiyu's support, which broke the balance.

This matter also made the civil servants worried, and he wanted to find his place elsewhere.

"Well, it's a pity that you, my child, keep your filial piety at home. Otherwise, I would have to take you out every day to give me advice. Now that I am in charge of the Fifth Army Camp, I am overwhelmed with many things and don't know how to deal with them.

Although there are many subordinates, I feel that their talents are only superficial. They can solve small things well, but when they encounter something a little more difficult, they just shirk it! "

"Shibo is so complimentary. I still know how much my nephew weighs. He really doesn't know about military matters!" Lin Cunde shook his head and smiled bitterly. He didn't know about ancient military training, and he didn't dare to give it to Wang Ying. Making blind ideas.

"That's better than that group of people. By the way, I came here this time to ask you, when will the dividends be distributed? It's already passed the Little New Year, and the Chinese New Year is coming in a few days. I have more than [-] taels of silver in my family. Don't even dare to go far away!" Wang Ying looked at Lin Cunde with a smile and asked with pride in her tone.

"Haha, Shibo, wait a moment!" Lin Cunde said as he stood up, reached behind his desk, opened the drawer, took out a ledger from inside, opened the ledger, and found a few pieces of paper inside.

Lin Cunde took it to the tea table, handed the account book and paper to Wang Ying, and said: "Shibo, the account book is a breakdown of all income and expenses from the beginning of making soap to yesterday. The difference in the middle is the profit! As of yesterday, the profit A total of 41 and 210 Wen! My nephew plans to reserve 210 taels and 37 Wen, and the remaining [-] will be divided into dividends! The reserved money will mainly be used to build a new factory next year. We can’t keep producing in that mansion. Not to mention it’s inconvenient, and it also occupies Shibo’s mansion, which is inappropriate! We still need to rebuild a workshop for easier management!”

"It doesn't matter. This house of mine is also idle. However, if it is idle, I can see why the accounts you made are clear at a glance. I have to look at the accounts made by the accountant in my house for a long time, but I still can't figure out why. Come!" Wang Ying didn't care how much money he would share now, but he was interested in Lin Cunde's accounting method.

"Ah, this is not important. My nephew figured it out by himself! Shibo, please read what is written on the paper. My nephew's dividend plan and next year's stage business plan are all written down. If Shibo looks at it, If there is no problem, I will show it to the Queen, and then we will each receive the money according to the agreement we signed before!" Lin Cunde immediately said with a smile, this kind of accounting method was not available in the Ming Dynasty, and he did not want to explain too much.

Now he just needs dividends, and his family doesn't have much money anymore. To put it bluntly, Lin Cunyi's family now has more cash than he does, and he is still waiting for the dividend money to celebrate the New Year.

"This accounting method is good, okay, we will discuss it later, I will take a look at it first!" Wang Ying said and started to look at the paper written by Lin Cunde.

After a while, Wang Ying finished reading, nodded and said to Lin Cunde: "No problem, just do this. You wait for a while, I want to reconcile the accounts. How much money has been collected by my house, but it needs to be reconciled. of!"

As Wang Ying spoke, he took out his account book. He had already added up the totals. When he opened it, it seemed that his own account had more money. Then he said to Lin Cunde in surprise: "My dear nephew, why can't you match up?" , my family seems to have more money!"

After hearing this, Lin Cunde took the account book with a smile. When the accounts on both sides were subtracted, it happened to be the money Wang Ying invested, so he smiled and said: "Shibo, you didn't exclude the capital you paid out. You paid out a total of one thousand 320 Seven taels, my nephew will keep it here!" Lin Cunde said, opening his account book, and it was recorded when and how much money Wang Ying invested.

"You kid, why do you remember this? It's only more than 1000 taels, how much can we earn? No need to remember, it's divided!" Wang Ying said to Lin Cunde very happily.

"That won't work. This has to be done one by one. When you go back, you can take your capital back and share the dividends!" Lin Cunde said with a smile and shook his head.

"Okay, I'll do as you said, nephew. My father-in-law has helped you find a mansion. It was Wang Zhen's mansion before. It covers an area of ​​7 acres and has everything. If you buy it, you can live in it. My father-in-law After asking around, it's worth [-] taels, you bought it for him!" Wang Ying looked at Lin Cunde very excitedly and said.

"Ah, Shibo, I, I don't have so much money. According to the dividends, I only have more than 3 taels!" Lin Cunde looked at Wang Ying in surprise. He didn't have so much money to buy such a big mansion. Besides, , I don’t want to be so high-profile, I don’t have any identity, I just live in a mansion of [-] acres, and I don’t know how much it costs to maintain it a year.

"You kid, Shibo has it here. Let's split the dividends 7 to 7, which is more than 1000 taels. When the time comes, we can use [-] taels to buy a mansion. During the Chinese New Year, I will lend you another [-] taels, and that's it. Anyway, there will be dividends next year, so what are you afraid of? It’s settled, I’ll go to the Queen to buy it!” Wang Ying said to Lin Cunde.

"Isn't this inappropriate? I don't have any identity, so if I buy such a good house, there will be criticism?" After hearing this, Lin Cunde still looked at Wang Ying in embarrassment and said.

"Who has any objections? Our money has come cleanly. Besides, the taxes are not so fast, and you don't have to pay much. My father-in-law just hopes that you will buy this mansion, and then you and Mei Chun will live a good life. And, Xiangfeng will be pleased if he knows about it underground. You leave this matter to your uncle!" Wang Ying said excitedly. The mansion he lived in was not small, covering an area of ​​more than 30 acres.

However, Wang Zhen's mansion occupied a large area. Wang Ying was thinking about Lin Cunde and thought that her future son-in-law should live in such a mansion.

"Uncle Shi, how about buying a smaller one, covering an area of ​​thirty acres, my son-in-law can still afford it!" Lin Cunde really had never thought of buying such a large mansion, it was too high-profile.

"That's it! You don't have to persuade Shibo! Shibo has long wanted to take it down for you. You don't have to be embarrassed about this. Leave it to me!" Wang Ying insisted.

Lin Cunde could only smile bitterly, and he was grateful to Wang Ying in his heart. It was really touching that Wang Ying could think about him like this.

In the afternoon, Wang Ying arrived at the palace, and Zhu Qiyu was also there. He also heard that soaps and soaps were huge profits. Knowing that Wang Ying might have come to talk about dividends, he also went to Kunning Palace and sat next to Wang Meilin.

"Your Majesty, the Queen, the account book is here, and there is also the short-term plan for next year written by Cunde. Please review it with Your Majesty and the Queen!" Wang Ying said and handed the paper and account book written by Lin Cunde to Wang Meilin.

Wang Meilin took it and was about to hand it to Zhu Qiyu. Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said, "You have the final say in everything in the harem!"
