Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 138 Xiaocui, go wash the dishes!

"Need not!"

Li Wei waved his hand. He was not a person who took advantage of others. Shen Jing could not be blamed for the situation in the workshop.

But he didn't want to just swallow this boring loss.

"In this way, you can keep all the evidence that the eunuchs are asking for, and I will find a solution!"

Li Wei frowned and ordered, "There is no way to go on like this. Today it is just a workshop, but tomorrow it may be the entire chamber of commerce."

"Ah? Mr. Li, what do you want to do? These people cannot be offended easily!"

Shen Jing was shocked when he heard what he said and asked worriedly.

Now that Li Wei has been demoted, he is just a minor official in the Jiaofang Department. Not to mention Wu Qi, even the little eunuch in the palace is not something he can easily offend with his status.

But Li Wei himself didn't take it seriously. Perhaps he was used to fighting with Lao Zhu, and people under Lao Zhu usually didn't think highly of him.

But after thinking about it carefully, he seems to have no good solution now. Is he going to collect evidence and complain to Lao Zhu?

No, the craftsman's affairs didn't go well last time, and I guess I won't get any good results this time.

Li Wei frowned and thought for a moment, but couldn't think of any good solution, but the evidence still had to be preserved!

"Boss Shen, if there are those who bully others and demand bribes again in the future, you must remember to leave evidence. Even if you are not chasing the money, keep the evidence until the end in case you fall out! "

When Shen Jing heard what he said, he shook his head secretly. What's the use of keeping evidence? Since ancient times, officials have protected each other. As long as they are still in that position, you can't do anything to them even if you have evidence.

In fact, Li Wei's idea also came from those TV episodes in later generations, but in ancient times, there were no media platforms for exposure. As for reporting and exposing through formal channels, well, it wouldn't work in the Ming Dynasty anyway.

Although Lao Zhu set up the Dengwen drum so that civilians could appeal to the emperor in front of the emperor, in fact it is not that easy. There are a lot of conditions for beating the Dengwen drum, and the punishment if you lose the case is very serious. After all, Lao Zhu Zhu Ye is not so idle that he can try cases every day.

If people have grievances and want to go to Beijing to file a complaint, they must go through the local prefectures and counties to the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment in the capital for interrogation. It is not possible for anyone who wants to file a complaint to go directly.

However, ordinary people cannot get over these layers of obstacles. As for things like Da Gao, they don’t exist yet, and it’s useless if they do.

Just kidding, what is a powerful person and what is an official, it is not something that ordinary people can tie up if they want, unless you are so powerful that you can fight one against a hundred.

It is no joke that the imperial power does not go to the countryside.

Although Shen Jing knew that leaving evidence would probably be useless, since Li Wei had asked him, he still agreed.

After talking to Shen Jing, Li Wei carefully checked the accounts of the Chamber of Commerce and did not go back until evening.

Laifu and Abu also went back with him.

After entering the house, Li Wei was about to go back to the backyard when Laifu suddenly called out to him.

"Master, I have some things here that I want to report to you."

Li Wei was slightly surprised. He had been at the Chamber of Commerce all day today. Why did Laifu only tell him that he had something to do when he got home?

"What is it?"

"Sir, please wait a moment."

Laifu said something and hurriedly turned around and went to his room. After a while, he returned to Li Wei with an account book in his hand.

"Sir, there is another account book here, please take a look."

Li Wei's eyes changed and he stared at him with a frown.

This Laifu, this is obviously manipulating the accounts of the Chamber of Commerce!
"What's going on?" Li Wei asked in a deep voice.

Laifu bowed and whispered: "Master, they are so messy, I have to think more about you, master, these are enough to make up for our losses!"

Li Wei looked a bit sad. Zhu Yuanzhang had the majority of the Chamber of Commerce. Although he had robbed it, if he dared to do anything in the Chamber of Commerce, it would be no joke if the old man discovered it!

"Who told you to do this?"

Li Wei shouted displeasedly in a deep voice.

Laifu originally wanted to take credit, but he was shocked when he heard this. Li Wei's reaction was beyond his expectation. He originally thought he would get praise, but he didn't expect him to be like this.

Laifu quickly explained in a panic: "I, I am also thinking about you, sir, and besides, they were the ones who messed up first."

"Humph!"

Li Wei snorted coldly, hesitated, took the account book, and warned sternly: "In the future, you are not allowed to do small things without my permission. Please behave yourself! Remember?"

"Yes, this slave has remembered it!"

Lai Fu fearfully agreed, claiming to have become a slave.Since he became the chief steward of the Chamber of Commerce, he has status and status, and rarely calls himself a slave. Of course, this is what Li Wei asked him to do, but he does not dare to forget this status.

Everything he had was given by Li Wei. Although he now has some money, redeeming himself is not a problem at all. But as long as the master does not let him go, he will still be a slave, and everything that the slave has belongs to the master. of.

Li Wei can give him everything, and he can also take it all away.

"I'm doing this for your own good too. After all, the Chamber of Commerce is dominated by the royal family. If His Majesty finds out about it, neither you nor I will get any good results!"

Seeing him like this, Li Wei sighed slightly and comforted him in a low voice.

Laifu relaxed a little and said softly: "Don't worry, sir, I did it very secretly, no one will find out!"

"Hmph, you are so self-righteous! Remember my words, don't mess around!"

Li Wei warned again.

Laifu respectfully agreed.

Taking the account book back to his room, Li Wei took a brief look at it. He remembered that it was all small amounts of money, but when added together, it was not a small amount. It was tens of thousands of dollars, just like Laifu said. , which is indeed enough to make up for the loss in the workshop.

However, Li Wei is not happy. The Chamber of Commerce has grown to its current scale and is already full of problems. If he continues to let it go, big problems will probably arise soon. It seems that it is impossible for him to sit back and enjoy the success, or It would be safe to just sell the shares and be safe, or else you have to spend more time on the Chamber of Commerce.

"Hey……"

Li Wei sighed and put the account books away first. He had to take the time to check these accounts carefully. Since he did it, he had to do it flawlessly.

In the lobby, Xiaoqing Xiaoyue and the others had already prepared dinner. Li Wei was used to three meals a day, so naturally he would not just have some tea in the evening like Lao Zhu did.

The dinner was not too sumptuous, but it had everything you would expect from a homely meal.

After finishing the meal, Li Wei set his sights on Xiao Qing. As the saying goes, what is there to think about when you are full and warm? The Chamber of Commerce wants to sit back and enjoy the success, but there should be no problem here in Xiao Qing.

Xiaoqing is wearing a skirt today and is tied with a ribbon. Ever since Li Wei added a "彐" to her gender, she has become even more charming.

Seeing Li Wei staring at her, she couldn't help but blush, and asked softly: "What's wrong, sir?"

Li Wei looked serious and asked seriously: "Xiao Qing, do you know what riding is?"

Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment, doubts flashing in his eyes.

"Sit back and enjoy the benefits? Of course you know. Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Well, it's good to know. I don't understand this very well. Come with me and let's discuss it together."

Li Wei nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and left his seat.

Xiaoqing was puzzled by his behavior. Isn't it just an idiom? What's there to discuss?
Although he was puzzled, Xiaoqing still followed him obediently.

When he reached the door, Li Wei paused, then turned around and gave instructions to Xiaoyue and Xiaocui respectively:
"Xiaoyue, if you have nothing to do, go back to your room and rest early."

"Good sir!"

Xiaoyue is a sensible child and agreed without asking any questions.

"Xiao Cui, go wash all the dishes!"

"Oh!"

Xiaocui pouted and reluctantly agreed. She was obviously not as sensible as Xiaoyue!

After Li Wei pushed them away, he led Xiaoqing back to his room.

After a while, a strange creaking sound came from the room, and it stopped after half an hour...and half an hour later.

Xiaoqing's beautiful eyes gave him a charming look, and she gently rested her head on his shoulder, with black hair scattered on his neck...

The next day, Li Wei returned to being a gentleman, took the account book and hurried to the Chamber of Commerce. He must be more cautious in accounting matters.

Although he had great conflicts with Lao Zhu over the years, had singled out, scolded, and repeatedly slandered behind his back, these were small things. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang knew about them, and Zhu Yuanzhang knew in his heart that he could still tolerate these things.

But it would be different if he discovered some small tricks behind his back.

But this time Laifu has already done it. Even if the money is returned, it will inevitably be exposed, and then Laifu may lose his life.

Although he is just a slave, he has been with Li Wei for so long, and Li Wei has not been able to push him out and clear away his relationship.

For the current plan, we can only keep strict accounts.
