If it weren't for Dong Qian, Duan Chengshan probably wouldn't be like this now. Even though he complained a little, he still didn't say anything to her.

Dong Qian smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for such a long time. Why do you look so lethargic?"

"Don't mention it..." Duan Chengshan originally wanted to complain, but Dong Qian's smile was a little too strange, so Duan Chengshan immediately distanced himself from her, "What are you here for today?"

Normally, Dong Qian wouldn't necessarily come in to take a look even if she was passing by, but to come here so specially today is really suspicious.

Dong Qian curled her lips and said, "I am also a member of the Chamber of Commerce. Isn't it normal to come here... But speaking of which, I do have something to ask you for."

"You didn't even say a word, and you exposed your true purpose." Duan Chengshan was speechless and had almost reached a peak.

Dong Qian really regarded Duan Chengshan as one of her own, so she didn't bother to talk about so many convoluted things.

Dong Qian pushed Duan Chengshan to where he handled work, and now he has become the lowest level of the chamber of commerce management.

Even at the lowest level, he still has a lot of rights.

"Tell me, you are so mysterious, it definitely doesn't seem to be a good thing." Duan Chengshan knew it without even thinking.

Dong Qian nodded and said: "You are still smart. I remember that for any shop that joins the Chamber of Commerce, the monthly account books and income and expenditure must be sent to the Chamber of Commerce for registration."

"Although it is true, this thing is relatively private and cannot be seen by ordinary people." Duan Chengshan is able to manage this because the president trusts him enough, otherwise he would not be allowed to manage it.

Dong Qian couldn't help but gasped, "Can I be an ordinary person? Besides, I don't have anything else to ask you for on weekdays. Can you help me with this matter?"

Although Duan Chengshan was not friendly to Dong Qian before, Duan Chengshan also had his own principles when it came to these serious matters, so no matter what Dong Qian said, he was rejected.

Duan Chengshan didn't know what her purpose was. Even if he knew it, showing it to Dong Qian would require the consent of the shop owners.

Dong Qian let out a sigh of relief, "Then let me ask you a question, can you tell me."

"As long as it doesn't involve other people's secrets, I will tell you everything." Duan Chengshan remembered that Dong Qian had helped him, so he would not hesitate to help where he could.

Dong Qian pursed her lips and asked: "There are so many large and small shops in Fucheng, are there any whose monthly income and expenditure exceeds 1000 taels?"

"There must be some, but only five shops can achieve this level of income and expenditure." When Duan Chengshan looked at those account books, he had already ranked them in his mind.

Although some shops look very grand and brilliant, their income and expenditure may not be as big as a small noodle stall.

For example, the income and expenditure of Dongmeifang and the noodle stall where Shen An took Dong Qian to were almost equal.

Dongmeifang's income is slowly going up. Dong Qian knows it, so she doesn't care too much.

"Tell me the names of these five shops." Dong Qian's original purpose was just these. Since he didn't show her the account books, Dong Qian had no choice but to find another way.

Duan Chengshan had nothing to do with Dong Qian, "Since you want to know, let me tell you that one of them is the largest bank in Fucheng. The bank's revenue and expenditure must exceed 1000 taels per month. The second is This Baibao Pavilion specializes in selling those precious collections."

Dong Qian was not surprised at all when she mentioned these two places. The third place was Haohan Restaurant, which could earn 1000 taels per month, and some of the expenses were not included.

"What kind of shop is this fourth?" Dong Qian couldn't wait.

As long as you know this information, the scope can be narrowed down, which will of course help Qin Han even more.

"This fourth restaurant has been in decline recently. It is Wan Fuchun Restaurant. As you know, Fulai Restaurant, which opens opposite Haohan Restaurant, is completely inferior to the previous Wan Fuchun Restaurant." Duan Chengshan felt a little pity.

Wan Fuchun Restaurant has been in Fucheng for so many years, and Duan Chengshan often goes there to eat. Although Haohan Restaurant is a new restaurant and has vague momentum surpassing them, if the owner of Wan Fuchun Restaurant knows what innovation is, he can attract the attention of customers.

He would definitely not be reduced to this situation, why would he want to compete with Haohan Restaurant.

"Okay, don't feel sorry for him. Wan Fuchun is stubborn." At this point, Dong Qian really doesn't want to talk about him anymore.

Then Duan Chengshan reported the last place, which was a small teahouse.

Of course, there is nothing suspicious about the bank and Baibao Pavilion, but since they want to investigate, they must treat everyone equally. Of course, Haohan Restaurant is not necessary. It is not unusual for Wan Fuchun to earn a thousand taels of silver a month, but this small teahouse can do this It's open for business, Dong Qian must go and see it.

Before Duan Chengshan could finish speaking, Dong Qian stepped back to the restaurant.

Duan Chengshan sighed helplessly and shook his head. He really shouldn't have told her, not even listening to his own words.

When Qin Han learned the news from Dong Qian, he immediately felt that this small teahouse was a bit strange.

"What a coincidence, it's not far from our restaurant, why don't we go take a look now?" After Dong Qian finished speaking, Qin Han stood up. He had originally meant this.

Then the two of them came to a place not far from the teahouse. Dong Qian would understand if it was a teahouse, but how could such a small teahouse attract so many customers or have such a high operating income.

"Do you think they have many guests?" Dong Qian asked without hesitation.

It is obvious that compared with Haohan Restaurant, the number of people in this small teahouse is not at all, or even a little less.

"Forget it, we won't get any useful information if we continue to stand here. Why don't we go and ask directly." Qin Han could no longer contain his impatience.

But Dong Qian was really worried that she would alert the enemy, and it would be very easy for her to achieve nothing. The result that the emperor wanted was definitely not like this.

Although that batch of military pay was large, it was only a drop in the bucket for Qin Han.

"But if you continue to wait, it may not have any effect." Qin Han was a little frustrated.

Dong Qian knew that he was worried about how important this military salary was to the soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Army.

It's like the whole family relies on him to earn money for food, but the money has not been sent back this month, so the whole family must go hungry.

Dong Qian's eyes moved to the beggar nearby. The beggar subconsciously hid the steamed bun in his hand, thinking that Dong Qian was planning to steal his steamed bun.

But in fact, Dong Qian only took a fancy to the clothes on the beggar, "You should not be suspected if you wear it." Dong Qian's expression did not look like she was joking at all, and she made serious gestures on him.
