Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 843
After hearing Han Jiang's words, Wu's accountant seemed a little confused. It was not until the account book was in his hands and he held it in his hands that sweat began to ooze from his forehead.

This is the account at the end of September, and it has been debited.The account that was loaned out was counted as a deposit.

Although this is only an internal account, the bank has long established rules and should not be messed up.Otherwise, the accountant and Kuyin will not be able to match each other, and there will be more tricks in the future.

For this, the bank has already formulated corresponding punishment regulations.

Accountant Wu did not make a big mistake this time, but the amount of money was large, so the handling could not be taken lightly.

Thinking that his immediate boss, Elder Sixteen, had only just arrived in Beijing, and he had made such a big mistake, Accountant Wu's face turned pale, and his hands trembling while holding the account book.

This is the three-flag coating, how many slaves are the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and only a few of them are actually lacking.

He really didn't have to worry about filling his position.

"Consultant Han..." Accountant Wu thought of this, and looked at Han Jiangshi with a bit of pleading.

Han Jiang raised his head and said, "Write a statement to Cui Langzhong, and wait for Master Sixteen to deal with it."

Accountant Wu had been in touch with Han Jiang's family for several years, and knew that she was not sympathetic, so he sighed in his heart, and before he put down the account book, someone laughed and said, "What are you waiting for? Could it be that the bank's income has been good these few months? Waiting for the master to give everyone red envelopes?"

Following the voice, the one who entered the room was the sixteenth elder brother.

Han Jiangshi hurriedly got up from his seat, accountant Wu also knelt down, Elder Sixteen waved his hand, and called the two of them to get up, glanced at the account book on the copybook, and said to Han Jiangshi, "How about the income in September?"

"Zhongke." Han Jiangshi answered concisely.

Brother Sixteen did not go to the back seat of the desk, but picked up a chair next to it and sat down, and said to Han Jiang: "Well, I have to be busy in these months at the end of the year. It's just these months, come to mortgage There are a lot of people taking out loans, and the other months also add up, it seems that the bank will be tight at the end of the year."

Han Jiangshi has also been thinking about it recently, and has a faint idea in his heart, waiting for Brother Sixteen to return to Beijing to discuss.It's just that there is still Wu's accountant right now, and Han Jiang's can't say much, so he didn't answer.

Only then did Sixteenth Elder Brother remember Wu accountant standing beside him, looked at the account book in his hand, and said to Han Jiangshi sternly: "The account book is not correct?"

In the past two years, there are many people in the capital who are worried about reaching out to the bank. Even if there is a sixteenth elder brother, they can't stand the greedy heart outside.

Before, there had been two money account incidents, and Elder Sixteen had a violent attack, and it was considered to be calmed down.Right now, Elder Sixteen thought those people were restless, and started to plot against the bank again, feeling very impatient.

Han Jiangshi nodded, and said, "It's been credited. What's out is credited, and the balance becomes 27 to [-]..."

This "failure" is not a big deal, but Elder Sixteen's expression did not relax, and his eyes towards Accountant Wu became sharper.

Accountant Wu couldn't stand anymore, bent his knees, and knelt down.

Brother Sixteen raised his lips, looked at Accountant Wu and said, "Pay the bill? If you remember correctly, you are an old man who was there when the bank opened last year. Those people were selected by the master himself, and they are all from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. An old accountant who has been on the job for more than 15 years. Tell me, what is going on with this account?"

Accountant Wu knelt on the ground, his back covered in cold sweat, he raised his head and wanted to defend himself, but when he saw Elder Sixteen looking at him, he immediately changed his words and confessed truthfully.

It turned out that when his niece got married last month, the balance was counted for a few days.He begged other accountants to help him calculate and reconcile the accounts, and copied them into the books by himself, but unexpectedly, something went wrong.

Elder Sixteen heard the words, frowned and said nothing, and after a while he asked, "Help you reconcile the accounts, which one is it?"

"It's Dong Changgong if you go back to Lord Sixteen." Wu accountant returned tremblingly.

"Dong Qingyuan?" The sixteenth elder brother heard the name familiar, and said, "Dong Dianbang's family?"

Accountant Wu replied, "It's the cousin of Director Dong."

The sixteenth elder brother glanced at Wu accountant, and asked Han Jiang: "According to the rules, what should be the punishment?"

"Looking for someone to do the accounts, and doing the accounts for others, you will be charged fifty bills, and you will be fined a hundred taels of silver; if you make a wrong account, you will be classified according to the amount on the book. Responsibility." Han Jiangshi said calmly.

Elder Sixteen nodded, and said to Accountant Wu: "Do you hear me clearly? Go to Cui Hua's place, and tell me what I said. If you know you made a mistake, you will be doubled, and your salary will be doubled, and you will be fined [-] yuan. The one named Dong will do the same." example."

This punishment was not considered light, but Accountant Wu heard it like the sound of nature, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank Brother Sixteen for his kindness, and went down to find Cui Hua to get the board.

Han Jiangshi looked at Wu accountant's back, thoughtfully.Elder Sixteen only thought she was soft-hearted, and said: "It's not a big mistake to make a mistake, but it's good to be on guard against someone with a heart."

"Master Shiliu, according to the rules, if there is a wrong account, the account manager and I, the consultant manager, will both be responsible for failing to investigate. In this case, the master should also be punished." Han Jiang said.

Brother Sixteen nodded, and said: "It should be like this, you should be more careful, or the master will forget."

This is not a big deal, but a fine of hundreds of taels of silver, for everyone to see, can be regarded as an explanation of the matter.

There was no one else in the room except Han Jiang's maid, brother Sixteen and his two bodyguards, so Han Jiang would come up with a way to raise money.

Brother Sixteen's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said with a smile: "This is a good idea. The bank has been open for more than a year, not to mention real estate, land deeds, and pledged treasuries. There are quite a few antique calligraphy and paintings and valuable things. If so Once the sale is made, the principal and bank that I don’t know how to borrow will be recovered, and the profit will be a few percent.”

Seeing his support, Han Jiang was relieved.

What she meant was to auction off all the collateral that had passed the loan repayment period.There are many dignitaries in the capital, and at the end of the year it is time to organize weddings and give gifts to relatives, and these things can also be sold at a high price.

In the next three months or half a year, the last time will also make the bank's money alive.

If the sixteenth elder brother does not agree, the bank will go on like this, and within a year or so, there will be problems with the turnover.

Brother Sixteen thought of those clan shareholders, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Since it is a pledge, the starting price is several tenths lower than that of outsiders. If you snatch it, it will be considered cheap. Let's count it as a sweetener for those clan shareholders. The next post will be sent to these people. In addition to the shareholder’s own family, three invitations can be given to each family. In this way, there are almost all the important families in the capital. This month is a bit rushed, so it will be set next It’s the beginning of the month, so I’ll be more prepared.”

Han Jiangshi nodded in agreement, and then, taking advantage of Cao Yong's bidding in Jiangning and the Ministry of Internal Affairs' bidding in the past, he negotiated several details with Elder Sixteen...

Changchun Garden, Qingxi Bookstore.

Seeing the brochure handed over by the fourth elder brother, Kangxi couldn't help frowning, and said: "The household department has cleared the deficit for several years, and there is still so much left? There is no money in this treasury. What about the orders from the Ministry of War?"

No wonder he frowned, after the fourteenth elder brother led the clan and set off with the Eight Banners army, the money was like running water.There is a lot of money in the household department, and many of them come from the internal treasury.

However, the money in the internal treasury is not rich, and the bulk has to be counted on the treasury of the Ministry of Households.

Unexpectedly, there was silver on the books of the treasury, but the treasury was still empty.

Kangxi had already discussed with the ministers, and there will be several wars in the spring of next year.Now the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households are doing pre-war supplies for this.

Unexpectedly, the card came to Yinzi.

"This year's tax money hasn't arrived yet, where can I collect the money?" Kangxi seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be asking the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother thought of a place where money was bought, but he was not sure about it, and he didn't dare to say anything first.

Kangxi saw that the fourth elder brother was silent, sighed, and said: "See if there is any other prospect. If not, the money should be paid from the internal treasury first, and it will be replenished when the tax money from the household department arrives..."

Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden.

Cao Yong had dinner with Chu Yu and brought up the matter of Wu En's dowry.Wu En has been working diligently all these years, teaching God Bless and the others the Mongolian language enlightenment, this time he is married to Cao Fang's family again, neither husband nor wife want to wrong her.

What Chu Yu meant was that more dowry would be given to Wu En, so that she could please Cao Fang's daughter-in-law; Add more to yourself.

"The furniture has been hunted down a long time ago. I should have bought a few more dowries, and there are housekeeper Wei's example in the past. It's hard to live, so let's add more softness." Chu Yu said.

These fine things, Cao Yong has always listened to his wife, nodding approvingly.

Because the seventh elder brother came back with his retinue, Cao Yong discussed with Chu Yu again, and in two days he took the child to pay respect to the seventh elder brother.

The husband and wife were talking, when Xiyan came in and said, "Gege, Cao Yuan's family is here, see you in the corridor."

Chu Yu nodded, and said to Cao Yong: "It should be a matter of picking people. Many maids in the inner house have reached their age, and they should also be picking people."

Of course Cao Yong has nothing to say, not to mention others, but Chu Yu's Sicai, and now only the youngest Xiyan and Xixia are still unmarried.

Xiyun married Zhang Yi and went to Xiamen; Xicai married Zhao Tong and went out to Beijing to be the magistrate's wife.

Wutongyuan has been a lover for a long time, but he left the city just in the beginning of spring, and has never cared about this.

Back in the capital, Chu Yu thought of this, and ordered Cao Yuan's family to pick some children from the family and teach them some rules, so that they could be added to the courtyards.

These days, that's pretty much what's taught.

Cao Yong stood up and said: "I just went to see my wife, you are busy with your work." Then he got up and wanted to go out.

Seeing this, Chu Yu hurriedly stopped her, found a green cloak to tie on for Cao Yong, and said: "Although the snow has melted in the past two days, it doesn't seem warm. You should be more careful, sir."

Cao Yong said: "Recently, my wife feels more, it's too late. If you finish your errands later, you also come to Lanyuan, and let's play cards with my wife."

When Chu Yu heard this, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, and said: "These days, the uncle is more than happy to play cards. Every time he wins his wife, he always complains. The wife said that next time he will ask the second wife to come and win the uncle."

In fact, there are quite a few female relatives in the mansion, but when Cao Yong played cards with Mrs. Li, they could only let Chuyu or the maid join in.

In this world, there are many rules in the house, and there are many "family rituals" that need to be observed.At home, besides Chuyu, there are sisters Tian and Lianqiu who usually accompany Mrs. Li.

Although they live in the same house, they are regarded as their own family, but there are other rules for this man and woman to talk about.Even the married sister Gui Ning and Cao Yong couldn't eat at the same table, let alone other people.

He can play leaf cards, but he is a novice.Because, he only played with the old lady when he was a child.

Unexpectedly, the novice is lucky. Every time he plays cards with Li, Cao Yong can win money.He originally wanted to deliberately lose a few games to make Li Shi happy, but the girl who was watching the cards behind Li Shi was unfamiliar, so she couldn't even give her a look.

"Second wife?" Cao Yong pondered for a while, looked at the sky outside, and said: "It's not dark yet, so I'll send someone to pick it up. It just so happens that my sister sent someone to ask about the mountain goods outside the pass. I have time to ask the second wife." With the second sibling, make a list, let's do it together."

Chu Yu agreed, and Cao Yong left the room.

Cao Yuan's family took two little girls and stood under the porch. When they saw Cao Yong, they bent down to say hello.Cao Yong waved his hand to wake him up, and strode out.

When Cao Yong arrived at Lanyuan, Mrs. Li was lying on the kang in the outer room, coaxing Changsheng to talk.

Hearing the servant girl's report that his son was coming, Li Shi straightened up and called in. Chang Sheng had already kicked his calf off the kang, and happily called "Brother".

Cao Yong took off the cloak, greeted his mother, picked up Changsheng, and made it on the chair.

Changsheng grabbed Cao Yong's buckle and said with a smile: "Why doesn't brother become a general?"

This question was endless, Cao Yong looked at Li, and Li said with a smile: "Just now I gave him the general."

"Brother wants to work as a errand to earn money, so he can't be a general. Does Changsheng want to be a general?" Cao Yong looked at his slightly thinner brother and asked.

But he thought in his heart, this kid's body is not strong, it's cold this year, next spring he should learn boxing and kicking from the Ren family brothers, first he will strengthen his body first.

"Being a general? Like Hang Seng, always running under the sun? That's not possible, the nanny said, you can't sunbathe, you should be sick." The Changsheng milk replied childishly.

Cao Yong touched his younger brother's little head and said: "Little boy, don't be too squeamish, won't you be a little girl?"

After hearing this, Changsheng just laughed.

Hearing the disapproval in the eldest son's words, Mrs. Li called her mother to carry Changsheng out, and complained to Cao Yong: "Your father also talked about me before he was alive, saying that he is a loving mother who loses his son, but he himself is not willing to get used to it. What can I do? In summer, you get heatstroke when exposed to the sun, and in winter, you get frozen when the wind blows. Just look at it like this, and you will get sick twice a year. Your second aunt is right, this girl is from her previous life Creditors, debt collection is here, making people feel uneasy."

"Even if the foundation is weak, it's better to take care of it carefully, and it's not good to stay in the house all the time. Zuo Cheng was not as good as Changsheng when he was a child, and he was raised with a few boys. Now it's not good." Cao Yong said: "I know that my mother loves Changsheng. , but Changsheng will be six years old next year, and he will grow up soon, so it's better not to be too coddled."

The eldest son is the backbone, what else can Li Shi say, he nodded and said: "You are right, let him go out with his nephews to play more when it gets warmer next year..."

Suzhou, weaving mansion, inner house.

Sitting on the kang, Mrs. Wang looked at the two women brought in by the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, sized them up a bit, frowned slightly, and said to the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, "Is that the two of them? Tell them to look up?"

The housekeeper's daughter-in-law hurriedly followed the instructions, and the two women raised their heads.

He is not very old, although his face is sallow, but he can faintly see that he has some beauty, and he is afraid that he will be restless as a needleworker...
