"Captain, we've arrived at the port, are you going to have a drink?" The first mate pursed his lower lip with a greedy look on his face.Running a boat is good for everything, but it is really annoying that you can't drink to your heart's content.
"What's the rush? After running this trip, I can rest for at least ten days and a half months. It's not enough for you to drink? Let's unload the cargo first." The captain had a serious face, but his heart had already flown away. Responsibility, don't just walk away casually.Since he can't get away, other people will naturally have to suffer with him, how can we easily let them enjoy it?
The first mate immediately made a bitter face, come on, just be honest, he must keep his eyes open, and no one can be lazy under his nose.
The Shen family's fleet is divided into two groups, one group is the boatman, that is, the person in charge of sailing the ship, and the other group is the businessman, who only care about the sale of goods and ignore others.
It is actually very hard to make a living at sea, and that is exactly the case, the treatment of the ship's crew is much higher than that of ordinary people.They don't have any big expenses on the boat. Every time they go ashore, most of them will spend a lot, especially those who don't have a family, and they are especially willing to spend money on themselves.
Even if the Shen family's fleet only takes a short distance, the risk is not low. Maybe the next time they go to sea, their fate will be on the sea, so it's hard to think about it if they don't have fun in time?
"Captain, Master Fang and the others haven't shown up for such a long time. Could it be that they forgot about the fleet?" The first mate stood on the side of the ship, watching the people below constantly rushing in and out, and asked suddenly.
"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?" The captain turned his head and looked at the first officer.
"It's nothing, I just feel a little uneasy about seeing the two masters of the Shen family all the time, so don't tell me something went wrong."
"What are you worrying about? Didn't Steward Ding receive a letter from the Shen family before? The Shen family didn't ignore us."
"hope so."
******
"Master, the fleet has docked and is unloading, what do you see?" Steward Ding received the news and hurriedly reported it to Fang Tianlin.
"I won't go there, and the goods will be handled as before." Fang Tianlin doesn't want to participate in it, he can't stay here for a long time, it's better not to get involved, "Let them rest for a day tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, all the managers You and the accountant are called here, remember to bring the account book, I have to check the account carefully."
"Yes, master, I'll do it right away." Steward Ding himself didn't do anything wrong, so he has nothing to worry about. As for the others, he doesn't know either.All the accounts are kept in their own hands, as long as they are not unscrupulously depleting the Shen family's money, it is generally not obvious that they are not paying attention on the surface.
******
"What, Master Fang is here, and you want to check the accounts?"
"Well, I will check the day after tomorrow. What do you think about this matter?"
"What should we do? Just move all the accounts over according to Master Fang's wishes. We didn't do anything with the accounts, why are we so flustered?"
******
Fang Tianlin didn't think that he had the aura of domineering in him, and when he raised his arms, everyone swore to follow him without hesitation.This kind of thing only happens in dreams. In reality, which force doesn't rely on ideals and common interests to maintain together?
With so many people left in Yanzhou City, Fang Tianlin was ready for someone to poach the corner of Shen's house.This fact is quite normal, not to mention that these people who stayed in Yanzhou City were brought over from Yunzhou City by him, and they have not been with the Shen family for a long time, how much loyalty can they have to the Shen family?If the real people are loyal and courageous, no one will believe what they say.
The first thing to thoroughly check is the shop's accounts. The main source of the goods in the shop is its own fleet, and a small part is purchased from other trading houses. Although there are many entries, fortunately, the accounting time is not long, so the check is quick.
After some checking, there was no problem except for a few minor discrepancies in the accounts. Fang Tianlin did not express any opinion and went directly to the next item.
The result was unexpected, and all the accounts were able to match, which is really interesting.
Seeing this, Fang Tianlin couldn't help laughing.
It would be a blessing for the Shen family if all the management was really done as well as the accounts. If not, the problem here might not be a minor one.
"They're all gone, and Manager Ding stays behind."
Soon, there were only Fang Tianlin and Guanshi Ding left in the conference hall.
"You go and sort out a list of special products and foreign goods in Yanzhou City, and the price, quality, origin, etc. must be indicated."
Guanshi Ding didn't know what Fang Tianlin meant, so he didn't ask any further questions, and took the order directly.
After everyone left, Fang Tianlin picked up a general ledger and began to calculate the profit rate.No matter how beautiful the curtain is, there are some things that cannot be concealed.It's not that he is jealous of a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart, a bunch of new servants who don't have a deep relationship with the Shen family, and no master is watching, it's a strange thing that they have no selfishness at all.
Fang Tianlin took some time to rank the profit margins from high to low.It's just that, of course, there is no way to determine whether there is a problem, but he can send people out to inquire about the market, and then make indirect comments from the mouths of various managers. The specific details may not be understood. Many, I'm afraid there are nine out of ten tricks in it.
Three days later, the stewards gathered together again, this time including the captain and others.
Fang Tianlin drank tea and said slowly: "What do you want to say? If you don't say it, you will lose your chance."
The hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard, no matter whether there was a problem or not, everyone lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, and stood respectfully.
"Again, if you confess, you will be lenient, and if you refuse to admit your guilt, it will be a little bit worse."
Several people couldn't help clenching their hands tightly. If they weren't covered by their sleeves, they might have been exposed long ago.
Fang Tianlin spoke in a calm tone, and he didn't seem to be angry because of this incident, but somehow it made people feel very stressed.Some people who just made a small mistake couldn't stand the pressure, and they gritted their teeth and took a few steps forward to admit their mistakes.
Other than that, there was no movement in the hall.
Sure enough, those who can harm public welfare and private interests are not small in courage and concentration, and verbal threats will not work at all.
Fang Tianlin's eyes swept over everyone in the hall one by one, and many people felt a chill down their spines: "If this is the case, then I will not be polite."
"Boss Ding, tell me." Fang Tianlin pointed to a few pages of paper on the table.
Looking at the content on the paper, Guanshi Ding couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Guan Huang embezzled more than 800 taels of ink from the public, and Guan Shi [-] taels...Wang Hai and Xu Jiang...covered for their respective stewards and were punished as accomplices."
As the names were reported down one by one, everyone couldn't help being shocked.One is that he was surprised by the amount of money involved in some of the stewards, and the other is that Master Fang's clever methods are really frightening.
They all clearly remembered that they had just checked the account books a few days ago, and the accounts were basically correct, and the only discrepancies were trivial entries involving a relatively small amount of money.
Many managers are familiar with the matter of collecting wool from the public. Although they are each in charge of a share of business, it is impossible not to notice it at all, but the amount is really beyond everyone's expectations.
Perhaps it is easy for Haimao to get money, and the main family has not shown up for a long time, which has raised the hearts of many people.
"My lord, I am wronged. You are the master, but you can't plant blame on us so casually." Guan Huang refused to accept the matter, with a wronged look on his face, and shouted for grievances.
Seeing someone stand up, someone below immediately echoed.
Fang Tianlin squinted his eyes, he really didn't cry when he saw the coffin, he took out a booklet from his arms, and threw it on the table casually: "Guard Ding, read it to everyone."
At this moment, Guanshi Ding felt that his legs were filled with lead, and he couldn't move for a long time.
Fang Tianlin raised his head and glanced at him. Guanshi Ding didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He rushed to the table in two or three steps, picked up the booklet and read: "On *year*month*day, Guanshi colluded with outsiders and sold the goods at a low price. If you sell it, you can get more than a hundred taels of profit from it, and on the first day, you buy goods at a high price, and put the part that exceeds the actual purchase price into your private pocket, totaling 50 taels or more..."
One by one, the details are so detailed that it makes people hairy.
"Master, there is no basis for empty words. Someone must have been framed by jealousy. Master must make the decision for the little one! Master is so wise, he will not be fooled by such insidious villains." Guanshi Huang burst into tears. Just listening to him, it is true. It makes people feel that he has been greatly wronged.
Fang Tianlin was unmoved, he did not have ready-made evidence, but the items listed above can only be counted as less, and the double-minded stewards will actually suck more blood from the Shen family.
Doing business is nothing more than buying low and selling high. The purchase price is higher than the market price, and the selling price is lower than the market price. It is normal once or twice, eight times ten times, or even most of the time. letter?
Although Fang Tianlin's monthly salary for the steward is not low, it is not enough to live the life of a rich man, and it is not so unbearable to see the eyes of others. After all, these people also entered the Shen family halfway, and they have nothing to do with the Shen family. How much belonging.
Fang Tianlin looked coldly at the few stewards playing tricks underneath, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, and could ignore everything else, but their daily expenses could not be faked, although these people had tried their best to not reveal any clues, it was impossible , The money they get every month can't cover their entertainment at all.
Fang Tianlin waved his hand behind him, and Captain Chen immediately led his guards to detain all the unrepentant people who were involved in large amounts of money just mentioned.
How could the stewards be willing to let them be arrested?It's a pity that these people have lived comfortably for a long time, and their strength is only a little bit stronger than that of a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken. To the well-trained guards, that little resistance is no different from scratching an itch.
Soon, all the perpetrators were taken away.The atmosphere in the hall became very tense for a while, and even a few stewards who were a little less courageous were trembling all over.
Fang Tianlin did not pursue the rest of those who made minor mistakes, as long as the holes were filled, they would be given a chance to reform themselves.
As for how Huang Guanshi and Fang Tianlin would deal with it, no one dared to ask those who had escaped.
After dealing with all this, Fang Tianlin didn't let him go immediately, and all the managers were worried, for fear that there would be another move waiting for them.
"What's the rush? After running this trip, I can rest for at least ten days and a half months. It's not enough for you to drink? Let's unload the cargo first." The captain had a serious face, but his heart had already flown away.
