After fleeing famine, I rely on space to raise cubs

Su Qing took the account book of the chamber of commerce and flipped through it page by page. The person behind walked to Leng Qianqiu and whispered: "She is not a woman, how can she read the account book?"

Leng Qianqiu didn't speak, someone muttered, "It must be an act, a woman is virtuous without talent, who would teach her daughter this, she must be trying to scare us, she needs to pull herself together for a while."

Xiao Yuan stood his saber horizontally on one side, glanced around coldly, and all the members of the chamber of commerce shut up.

At this time, someone came in to reply, "Miss, the family members of the chamber of commerce have arrived, and they have invited you to sit down in the courtyard next door."

Su Qing looked down at the account book without raising her head and said: "Well, let them have a good rest, by the way, serve some tea, talk to these family members, the clothes, shoes, a year's expenses, etc. , By the way, everyone who has a concubine is invited, today, just to chat, but also to ask other questions."

When Leng Qianqiu heard this, her face turned pale. They can pretend, they can pretend to be poor people, but these women in the backyard don't want rich clothes and fine food, silk and satin.And it's not only the wife who wants to give, even the concubine, Leng Qianqiu's concubine is very rich, the clothes and jewelry are all the best, and of course they are also the most expensive.

"Miss, it's not as bad as your family. We are all here, why do you want our family to come here? They have never been out of the house. If they say something wrong, it will cause unnecessary misunderstanding."

Leng Qianqiu's tone was cold, without the pretense just now, "This is Yucheng, and Master Liu is in charge. We are merchants in Yucheng, and we are not directly governed by people from Liyang. Are your arms stretched too long? I want to see the prince."

Su Qing put down the ledger, with a smile on his lips, "I just invited these female family members to gossip, how could it become a jurisdiction, you are thinking too much, I also want to drink tea with those noble ladies, understand It’s not allowed to take a look at their lives, do you have any secrets that you’re afraid others will know?”

Leng Qianqiu was dumb for a moment, and after a while, he said: "The women in the backyard don't know how to behave. I'm worried that I will offend the young lady, and when the young lady turns her anger on them, wouldn't that be an innocent disaster?"

Su Qing laughed, got up from the chair, and walked slowly to Leng Qianqiu. The sky was bright at this time, but it was raining heavily outside, which made people flustered. "President Leng, you are such a caring husband. Don't worry, the crime is not as serious as your family members. Even if your head is beheaded, they will be scattered at most. If you find another husband, you will never hurt anyone because of you."

Who would have thought that when Su Qing said it so bluntly, the people behind all shut up and looked at Leng Qianqiu with sympathetic eyes.

Leng Qianqiu also opened her eyes wide, and opened her mouth, "Miss, what do you mean?"

"Aren't you just worried that your family will be hurt? I'm answering your question."

Su Qing answered seriously, picked up the account book, and put it in front of him, "Now explain to me that the porridge shed for disaster relief last year actually cost 80 taels of silver, and the porridge shed was made of silver. 80 taels? Moreover, fifty porridge sheds have been built in the entire Yucheng, which is a full 4000 taels of silver. But Yucheng is only so big, and there are fifty porridge sheds, I am afraid that one will be built every 100 meters, otherwise I can't let go of that much."

Leng Qianqiu glanced at the account book, swallowed her saliva and said, "This is recorded by the previous president. At that time, the porridge shed for disaster relief was indeed in charge of the Chamber of Commerce. The manpower and material resources used were all paid by the Chamber of Commerce, but I don't know how much it cost."

Su Qing nodded, "Oh, I don't know, you, the vice president, don't know, so the others don't know."

The people behind all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Su Qing, for fear of being questioned by her, and they didn't know how to answer.

"And this, the disaster relief clothes said that they bought cotton from other places, and then shipped it back here to make it. You can also believe that the cotton was shipped back. After all, the road was not peaceful. If something happened, I can't tell. But this time A cart of cotton actually cost 90 taels of silver. At that time, 1000 carts were pulled back. We counted the number of people affected by the disaster in Yucheng, but it was only about [-] people. It doesn't take two catties of cotton to make clothes for a person affected by the disaster, so what about the rest of the cotton?"

Cold sweat oozes from Leng Qianqiu's forehead, "It's impossible for one person to use up to two catties, but it will cost three catties of cotton."

Su Qing laughed, "Okay, even if you give a person three catties of cotton, and then use some good fabrics to sew, one piece counts, and you sell it for five taels of silver. , all the money was allocated from the imperial court to use, I said where did the allocated disaster relief money go, it turned out that it was so useless."

After Su Qing said that, his tone was mixed with frost. The heavy rain continued to fall outside, making a ding-dong sound when it fell on the ground, and the cold wind blew in from the window, blowing on everyone, and couldn't help shivering.

Autumn is not over yet, I'm afraid winter will come early.

"These are all done by the president, I don't know."

Leng Qianqiu's lips turned white, "But I know that those cottons are all high-quality cottons, even if they are made into clothes, even if they weigh a catty, they are enough to keep an adult warm through the whole winter. Those fabrics are all made of silk, and the price Of course it's more expensive."

Su Qing closed the ledger, with disdain in his eyes, "Your president is dead, you can naturally push all the problems on him, Leng Qianqiu, say you are smart, you are really stupid, just admit your mistake at this time , I won’t take you under the knife, do you think you can still escape?”

Leng Qianqiu's face was pale, without a trace of blood, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't have the courage to speak.

Ru Xin came in from the outside, running quickly with her little feet, came to Su Qing, saluted, and said loudly: "Miss, I was talking to those noble ladies just now, and their clothes are all brocade, and they are from Liyang." I bought each piece for two taels of silver. And the silk threads on the shoes are all made of gold thread mixed with other thread balls. They said that they did this because they were afraid that people would find out that they used gold threads. If it is embroidered with thread, it will become the target of public criticism and be condemned by others, so it is mixed with other things."

When Ru Xin said something, the faces of those merchants would change, "I asked about the cotton just now, and they said that the cotton was unusable, it was all rotten cotton, and it was just made for the people above to see, and one of the ladies Said that she saw the rotten cotton coming out of the clothes with her own eyes, and it was all black."

Su Qing looked at Leng Qianqiu, and said in a cold tone, "Didn't you just say that they are all high-quality cotton?"
