Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Anyway, I still have to tell the queen.

Moreover, the casual clothes worn out of the palace are also in Zichen Hall.

At the beginning of the new year, all major shops have reopened.

Liu's shop is no exception.

For other businesses, the general ledger is compiled before the year.

Only the Liu family will carry out the summarization of accounts after the beginning of the new year.

The Liu family's stall was too large, and at least a hundred accountants had to be used to check the accounts.

There are not so many accountants in the head office of Liu's Commercial Bank in Chang'an City.

Every year at this time, Liu Bai would mobilize a group of people from within the Liu family, and then go to the academy to find a group of people.

One is to give those children who have learned a lot of mathematics the opportunity to practice.

Second, there is no need to spend a penny!

The ten-day accounting work is coming to an end.

But the Liu family never let them go.

Next, a three-day financial management work is required.

The so-called accounting and the so-called financial management sound like two similar concepts.

Actually it is not.

The main direction of accounting is to conduct an overall summary of the money spent in the past through inventory, auditing and other methods.

And financial management is based on accounting, planning how to spend the money on hand in the future.

To put it bluntly, one is for the past and the other is for the future, and the two complement each other.

A group of accountants and a group of students are making calculations in the lobby of the head office of Liu's Commercial Bank.

Liu Bai sat in the single room behind, drinking tea and waiting.

Today, these people will give him a number.

This number will be related to the main development direction of the Liu family in the coming year.

On the whole, the Liu family is still in a stage of rapid development.

The more it is at this time, the more cautious it is to spend money.

Every penny has its corresponding value.

Liu Bai had a rough estimate in his heart.

After a cup of tea was brewed, Shen Wansan walked in with the report.

"Master, the accounts have been compiled. Last year, the momentum is gratifying. Our family's balance is more than half of what it used to be!"

In terms of the size of the Liu family, half of the balance is already a considerable number.

Liu Bai opened the report and read it carefully.

"The performance of the Western Regions Project and the Stock Affairs Bureau is quite unsatisfactory"

Shen Wansan said helplessly: "What the young master said is that although the Western Regions and the Stock Affairs Bureau are still our family's key projects, since last year, nearly half of the manpower in the two departments has been transferred. Recruit another group of people, but people from the Western Regions are unreliable, and I want to find them from Guanzhong, but I can't find any suitable ones."

"It's the same with the Stock Affairs Bureau. Changle didn't have many people at hand. For the prince's sake, they seconded a group to Datang Entertainment Group. Now, the Stock Affairs Bureau can't wait for women to be men's servants, and men to be dogs."

Liu Bai nodded.

Insufficient manpower is indeed the biggest problem in the current development of the Liu family.

For example, the Stock Affairs Bureau is not a place where everyone can go!

First of all, you must have a deep understanding of Chang'an City, and even the entire Guanzhong market.

Second, math must be good enough.

The most important point is to have sufficient sensitivity to the development of the market prospect.

Talent is hard to find and there will always be delays.

"The income from the Lingnan project and the Youzhou mine is quite considerable, especially the Youzhou mine. Lao Zhou said that Li Fengjie has reached cooperation with the people of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje. The monthly shipments More than [-]% more than before!"

Liu Bai flipped through the report.

Except for the Western Regions Project and the Stock Affairs Bureau, the momentum of other projects is indeed good.

Unfortunately, it didn't reach the estimate in his heart.

"Is there any property in the family that does not earn money?"

Shen Wansan's heart moved, and he said, "Master, don't you want to sell another batch of property?"

Liu Bai said: "The family will make a big move this year. Relying on our previous balance, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it. Besides, young master, I don't want to use the loan business of the Stock Affairs Bureau."

Shen Wansan knew that Liu Bai's big move was referring to the Wa country project.

In the past, starting a new project at home was just one area.

The Western Regions are big enough, but they are limited to trade.

But the Japanese country is different!

From what the young master said, it seems that he intends to fully develop the country of Wa!

What's more, the area of ​​the Wa country is only smaller than that of the Tang Dynasty.

Compared with countries such as Goguryeo, it still belongs to the category of big countries.

The cost of this project will not be lower than rebuilding the entire Guanzhong city!

"The subordinate still needs to discuss with the big shopkeepers in various places. After about 20 days, I can give the answer to the young master."

Liu's family has properties in various places, and the news has been spread several times, and 20 days have passed.

"Time is not a problem, but don't move at Lingnan. Chai Lingwu and Feng An are busy dealing with the Wa people now. That kid is stupefied. Don't delay the battle because of money."

"My subordinate understands!"

Liu Bai thought for a while, and said: "Also, Chang'an's industry needs to flow steadily. In the past few months, there will be not only the imperial examination, but also the grand marriage. If the market fluctuates too much, it will inevitably affect these two things. Influence!"

Shen Wansan hesitated for a moment, and said: "Master, when you mentioned Chengqian's wedding, my subordinates remembered one thing. In August last year, Chengqian asked Changle as a guarantee and borrowed a loan of 15 yuan. Now half a year The deadline has passed, and the East Palace seems to have no intention of paying it back."

Chapter 1255 None of the couple in the Li family is worry-free

Liu Bai knew about Li Chengqian's loan of money.

Speaking of which, Li Chengqian was really pitiful.

Since entering the Hall of the Lord's Yinyi, it sounds like his reputation has become more resounding. In fact, after he intervened in the government affairs, it was equivalent to cutting off his financial resources outside.

Li Chengqian owns a certain percentage of shares in the Liu family's various industries.

In particular, the Datang Stock Affairs Bureau can be said to have been established by Li Chengqian.

It wasn't until the five surnames and Qiwang were overthrown that he delegated power, let Liu Bai preside over it, and let Changle be the master.

The stock affairs bureau alone has an annual income of no less than 20 yuan.

It's a pity that you can no longer do business if you are in charge of the government.

All the properties under the name of Donggong are managed by Wushun.

And Li Chengqian is about to get married soon.

Even if the money is all his, but he is too shy to ask Wushun for it?

Coupled with his father who is like Pixiu, Li Chengqian is even more nervous.

Fortunately, as a prince, the court is in charge of food.

Otherwise, the dignified prince would have to solve the problem of eating and drinking by himself, how desolate would his life be?

Borrowing money is nothing more than for the expenses of the big wedding.

Pay back?

Liu Bai didn't expect it from the beginning, and this guy would be able to return smoothly.

The big deal is that after he gets married, he will find compensation from other places.

"Let's wait for a while, Chengqian is having a hard time, with a deficit of 15 Guan, take the family's accounts."

Shen Wansan smiled wryly, and said: "I don't know, my subordinates, but there is not much money in our family's accounts, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for the second lady."

Liu Bai was taken aback.

He looked down at himself.

The clothes were made by Liu Wan'er herself, and the materials are indeed a bit more expensive, but they are more than three times cheaper than buying them outside.

When others go out, they will wear a jade pendant around their waists, and some exquisite ones will also have gems on their belts.

Liu Bai thinks those bits and pieces are awkward, from head to toe, the golden crown that binds the hair is more expensive.

He didn't even bother to wear a golden crown when he didn't see anyone else at home.

Just find a wooden hairpin and tie your hair up.

Is there anyone else as frugal as me?

It seems that the family didn't have many big projects recently, where did all the money go?

Except for Liu Bai, the others didn't seem to need much money.

Zhuzi's food is a bit more expensive

Ever since Huang Chao took over as the big shopkeeper of Taiji, he was still nominally the housekeeper of the family.

In fact, Liu Rong'er was in charge.

Rong'er's butler's ability is not ordinary.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't

"How did you forget him?"

Liu Bai slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered Li Yuan!

It must be him, yes!

The master of the Liu family has only a few mouthfuls up and down.

Those who could mobilize large sums of money without Liu Bai's consent all went to other places.

It seems that Li Yuan is the only one left!

This old guy can't stay idle all day long, and he doesn't know what he's been doing recently.

With a group of little things all day long, he invites cats and dogs around.

The more Liu Bai thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

"Recently, did the Supreme Emperor go to the Stock Affairs Bureau to borrow money?"

"The old man did go to the stock affairs bureau, but the people in the stock affairs bureau evaluated the old man's credit and didn't borrow it."

boom!

Liu Bai slapped the table hard!

Case solved!

The old guy had nothing to do with the stock situation, so he attacked the house!

"None of the couple in the Li family is reassuring."

At this moment, Xu Chu walked in.

"Master, Your Majesty is coming!"

Liu Bai's eyes narrowed for a moment, then he sneered and said, "Please come in, Your Majesty!"

Li Er was in a really good mood.

I haven't been out of the palace for many days, and today I wandered on Zhuque Street, only to realize that Chang'an City is much busier than during the Chinese New Year!
