I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 194 Thunderbolt Method
After sending Qin Keqing away, Jia Cong decided to adopt Qin Keqing's suggestion.

In fact, Jia Cong is a modern man who traveled through time, and he does not have much sense of belonging to the Jia family.

However, as long as Qin Keqing's strategy is implemented in the Jia Mansion, the annual income of the children at the bottom of the Jia family can be greatly increased.

In this way, he will be able to gain the support of most of the Jia family members, and his position as the head of the family will naturally become more stable.

Now that he and the Rongguo Mansion are at loggerheads, it would be a good opportunity for him to take advantage of this opportunity to win over the hearts of some of the lower-class young men.

Thinking of this, Jia Cong couldn't help but find Xue Pan again and ask him to borrow someone again.

This time, I borrowed from the accountant again, and also from the same six accountants from last time.

Because these six accountants had already had advanced auditing experience last time.

There is no need for further training, it can be used immediately.

Xue Pan naturally agreed to such a small matter.

On the second day, the six accountants from last time came to Ningguo Mansion to report.

Next, Jia Cong ordered Jiao Da to bring the members of the guard team to assist the six accountants and start checking the accounts of each shop one by one.

There are not many shops in the Jia family's mansion, so they are naturally incomparable to those of the Xue family.

Moreover, all the shops owned by the Jia family were in the capital, and there were only a dozen of them in total.

Therefore, it is not difficult to check the accounts.

It takes about a day to check a shop.

The first day we checked a tea shop, and it was a great success.

The owner of the tea shop embezzled more than 20,000 taels of silver in ten years!
After checking the accounts, Jia Cong ordered his men to raid the shopkeeper's house and beat him with forty boards.

The whole family was sent to the farm to farm.

These shopkeepers were all servants of the Jia family. Even if they were beaten to death, no one else had the right to interfere.

Therefore, Jia Cong was considered merciful by not beating them to death.

The first day's audit made the dozen or so remaining shopkeepers completely panic.

In this world, is there any cat that doesn’t steal fish?
The main reason is that the men in the Jia family are incompetent, so they can only rely on women to manage the household.

Outside, it had always been managed by that loser Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen has always been only concerned with eating, drinking and enjoying himself, so how could he have ever cared about the affairs of the shop?

With such an incompetent and confused head of the family, it would be strange if the shop owners of these shops were not greedy.

The difference is simply whether one is greedier or less greedier.

And this new Master Cong, who had come to power not long ago, was indeed a powerful figure.

It only took one day to check the accounts of a shop.

If they are the next ones to be investigated, will their accounts be able to hide from the eyes of the Third Master?
They thought to themselves that it was unlikely.

Once the fact of corruption is discovered, his fate will be exactly the same as that of the first shopkeeper.

Not only will the family property be confiscated, but the entire family will also be forced to farm.

Years of hard work were destroyed overnight, and things were even worse than before.

Naturally, they were unwilling to accept such a failure.

Therefore, most of the remaining shopkeepers chose to take risks.

They either did it themselves or sent their trusted confidants to secretly destroy the shop's accounts.

Once the accounts are burned, there will be no evidence.

Even if the Third Master had omnipotent powers, there was no way to investigate this matter.

Even if the Third Master became suspicious and wanted to replace me.

I'm afraid I can't keep the position of shopkeeper, but at least the family property can be preserved.

And they would not have to be beaten with a stick and have their entire family sent to a farm to farm.

Unfortunately, Jia Cong had already predicted their actions, so he secretly sent people to watch every move of these shops.

Therefore, that night, they caught the shopkeepers or servants of eight shops who were about to tamper with the business.

Anyone who dares to take action must have something to hide.

There is no need to check the accounts of these eight shops.

Jia Cong directly led people to raid the homes of these eight shopkeepers, broke their legs, and then sent their entire families to farm to farm.

If you make a mistake you will be punished.

Only by clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments can the servants be more respectful.

After this incident, the remaining shop owners were completely devastated.

They didn't ask Jia Cong to check the accounts, so they just confessed it themselves.

According to the amount they embezzled, Jia Cong gave them lenient sentences.

The most serious one was because he embezzled more than 30,000 taels of silver, a huge amount of embezzlement.

Jia Cong confiscated all his property, but since he had surrendered himself, he was not beaten with a stick. His whole family was sent to a farm to farm.

There were two other families who embezzled more than 10,000 taels of silver. Although their entire families were sent to farms to farm, Jia Cong still left some silver for them.

Their treatment is much better than that of others.

The one who embezzled the least only 357 taels of silver.

Even Jia Cong couldn't believe that there were such honest people among these shopkeepers.

After Jia Cong ordered six accountants to check the accounts carefully, they discovered that the shopkeeper had only embezzled 357 taels of silver!

This made Jia Cong amazed.

Then, Jia Cong ordered the accountant to hand over the embezzled silver and imposed a fine of fifty taels of silver.

After the punishment, Jia Cong ordered him to continue serving as the shopkeeper.

For this, the shopkeeper was naturally grateful to Jia Cong.

He kowtowed and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

After checking the accounts, it turned out that among the dozen or so shop owners, only one was employable.

All the other shopkeepers were sent to the farms.

There were also some guys with dirty hands who were expelled.

As a result, more than a dozen vacancies for shopkeepers and clerks were left.

Servants from the East and West Palaces, and even some descendants from the side branches, immediately flocked in like cats smelling blood.

They all wanted to get this good job.

Jia Cong, on the other hand, referred to the comments of Jiao Da, Jia Yun and others, selected suitable candidates for the position of shopkeeper and had them take up the post directly.

Jia Cong firmly believed that if he wanted to prevent these shopkeepers and clerks from embezzling the shop's money, he could not expect them to exercise self-discipline.

Instead, we need to establish a reasonable system so that they have no loopholes to exploit.

Human nature cannot stand the test.

Although Jia Cong studied fine arts in his previous life, his years of experience as an online keyboard warrior have given Jia Cong rich theoretical experience in various fields, making him a master of talking.

Jia Cong combined the experience of his previous life, invited Xue Baochai to consult her, and then worked out a practical system.

Then let all shops start using the new system.

At this point, the matter of the Jia family shop came to an end.

Next, Jia Cong found Jiao Da and asked him to send people to investigate the behavior of the head of the Jia family's farm outside.

Jia Cong is not Jia Zhen, and he cannot tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.

Jia Cong will not let go of any of those slaves who suck blood from the Jia family.
