Domineering Daming

"I'm not going to be a slave to others." Yu Mengshan threw away the melon seed shells and said, "I know what you think, so I won't do that kind of thing. However, I do have a boss , I will be responsible for finding him a home, and then get the commission."

Steward Wang was still thinking about the "20 taels of income per month", and asked anxiously, "What are you doing, and what are you going to do next?"

Yu Mengshan said indifferently: "It's simple, it's steamed buns in your house, dim sum and all kinds of pasta. The price is [-]% of what you buy outside. If you buy more, you can drop it to [-]%."

As the housekeeper of the Feng family, Wang Guanshi is in charge of the food and drink of more than 100 people. He knows the money that goes out every day. He was shocked when he heard Yu Mengshan's words, and said: "Can it really be reduced to [-]%? Now the rice grain But the sky is rising?"

Yu Mengshan looked at Guanshi Wang and said, "You want it too?"

Steward Wang glanced around, leaned closer and said in a low voice: "You don't know, the Feng family has also been raided by the court recently, and the master is trying to find a way to increase income and reduce expenditure. If this works, I don't care about the money. The key is to let Master Feng take a fancy to it." I will be the butler of the Feng family in the future, and I will be happy."

Yu Mengshan smiled and said: "Okay, then I will help my brother. This is a form, fill it out and send it over, there will be a special person to receive it, set a time every day, and it will be delivered on time. It is up to you whether the money you deposit is your own or whether you show it to your lord."

Guanshi Wang looked at the list and said, "Okay, thank you brother, I'll go back and try it out, if it works, I'll treat you brother to a big drink!"

From this day on, big officials, wealthy merchants, brothels, Goulan, inns, post stations, small households, small merchants and hawkers, and even passing merchants were almost all bombarded crazily.

Chapter 83 Worry

"Hurry up, accountant, there are not enough people here."

"This is wrong, wrong, recalculate."

"Hurry up, today's accounts must be clearly known, who dares to be sloppy, don't blame me for being rude!"

This is the voice in the workshop in the east of the city, in the big house of the accountant, and the joyful reality of all kinds of abacus.

"Reconcile the account, reconcile the account quickly, the box will be sealed at night, have you all forgotten the rules!"

"The silver seal is ready, send it to the warehouse!"

"Bring over all the accounts, and submit them after the calculations are done."

This is Huitong Commercial Bank, almost no one is idle, running around, yelling.

Wei Liangqing was sweating all over his head, and kept looking at the ledger.And he was not far away, and Fu Tao was not much better. He was not very familiar with Arabic numerals, and things were in a hurry, so Zhu Xu didn't care so much, so he had to let him learn by doing.

It wasn't until midnight that Huitong Commercial Bank's accounts were cleared up. Fu Tao knew the total amount, recorded it in a small book, put it in his arms, and said to Wei Liangqing, "Master, I'll leave it to you. I'll go out for a while." .”

Wei Liangqing quickly said: "Okay, just go to the general account and don't worry if I'm here." Since Zhu Xu showed up, the relationship between Fu Tao and Zhu Xu can't be hidden, and he dare not be negligent.

Fu Tao hurried out with the ledger in his hands and went straight to the workshop in the east of the city.

As soon as he arrived at the workshop, Li Deyong was sweating profusely, and said: "General Ledger, you are here, if you don't come, I will go crazy."

Because Zhu Xu used two sets of accounting methods, one is Arabic numerals and the other is the current Chinese characters, so only Fu Tao and the people trained by Fu Tao can understand that without Fu Tao, the general accountant, Li Deyong can't do anything To calculate today's revenue clearly.

"Okay, here I come."

Without further ado, Fu Tao's people began to calculate today's income.

It wasn't until the sky turned white that Fu Tao turned to Li Deyong with red eyes and said, "Okay, the accounts are clear. Shopkeeper Li, today is not bad, it is a net profit, keep it up, and next month, you can earn at least 2000 taels a month!"

Li Deyong is not interested in how much he earns now, he just doesn't want to lose money like this.He became excited when he heard it, rubbed his hands together and said: "Okay, please tell Your Highness the accountant, this servant will definitely do a good job and won't let His Highness down!"

Fu Tao also heaved a sigh of relief, nodded, and left the workshop with the ledger in his pocket, walking towards his house.

As soon as Fu Tao entered the yard, he found that the light in his father Fu Changzong's study was still on, so he couldn't help walking over quickly.

"Father."

He knocked on the door outside and called softly.

"Come in." After a pause, Fu Changzong's tired voice came from inside.

Fu Tao opened the door and came in. Seeing that Fu Changzong was still sitting behind the desk, he said respectfully, "Father, you haven't slept yet?"

Fu Changzong let out a sigh of relief, looked up at him, and said, "Sit down, I have something to tell you."

Fu Tao was taken aback for a moment, moved a chair and sat opposite Fu Changzong.

Fu Changzong looked at Fu Tao and said, "Are you planning to go to the palace to see Xu'er tomorrow?"

Fu Tao said: "Yes, the recent account has just been sorted out, I want to show it to His Highness."

Fu Changzong pondered, and said: "You don't want to enter the palace, let them enter the palace through that teahouse."

Fu Tao looked puzzled and said, "Why?"

A look of worry appeared on Fu Changzong's face, and he sighed: "The reason why Xu'er took the lead at this time is probably because Huitong Trading Company and that workshop will grow bigger and bigger. It may not be able to hold it, so I took this opportunity to show my authority and break some people's minds. However, this kind of trouble is also very serious."

Fu Tao still didn't know many things about Zhu Xu, so he hesitated, "What troubles does father refer to?"

Fu Changzong looked at Fu Tao's immature face, didn't say too much, and said: "Xu'er was grounded by the empress, and I haven't seen him recently, but after today's court meeting, the emperor left me alone for a while, to talk to him." I said, maybe I will be promoted to the servant of the household department."

Fu Tao opened his eyes with astonishment.He naturally knew that whether it was his father or Zhu Xu, they were used to keeping a low profile and forbearance, and never wanted to show their heads.But what does it mean that the emperor suddenly promoted his father, who was almost transparent?

Fu Changzong looked at Fu Tao's expression, waved his hand slightly, and said, "It's not that serious. The emperor just asked for the father's opinion. It may also be that the father is not used to Xu'er's sudden high-profile change. In short, in the Before seeing the situation clearly, keep everything as low-key as possible, and make a decision after Xu'er has lifted the grounds and talked to him for my father."

Fu Tao nodded almost subconsciously when he heard the words, and was startled immediately, watching his father suddenly turn pale.

Fu Changzong frowned slightly, and said, "What's wrong?"

Fu Tao shook his head hastily, stood up and said, "My child understands, it's getting late, father should go to bed early."

Fu Changzong didn't ask much, nodded and said: "Well, I will keep my father's words in my heart, go."

"Yes."

Fu Tao forced himself to be calm, and ran out as if fleeing.After running out, he didn't realize until the wind blew that his whole body was drenched.

"No, no, how could His Highness have such rebellious thoughts, no matter what, he doesn't have that kind of power, yes, neither father nor His Highness is that kind of person..."

Fu Tao muttered to himself as he walked, he was taken aback by the thoughts in his heart.

After the weather in the capital city entered July, it became hotter and hotter day by day, and even after being confined in his own palace, Zhu Xu still felt that it was too hot even after several days.

While drinking the herbal tea made by Yao Qingqing, and fanned by Yao Qingqing, she still couldn't get rid of the hotness in her heart.

"Your Highness." Standing in front of Zhu Xu, Cao Wenzhao handed over an account book and said, "This is the account book ordered by Mr. Fu."

Zhu Xu nodded, took it and opened it to read.

They are all written in big brush characters, which can be read clearly from a distance, but there is not much content on a single page.

Zhu Xu turned the pages slowly, while thinking about it.

Whether it's a business or a workshop, although they are all about making money in the final analysis, they also have other functions.For example, the commercial bank intends to develop it into the largest bank in Daming, so as to get a general idea of ​​the economic situation of Daming. It is also an excellent channel to deal with Houjin in the future by anti-smuggling or other means.And that workshop, some steamed buns and snacks, can't make much money at all. His purpose is not only to channel, but also to prepare for the fight against future droughts and locust plagues.
