rebirth first official

Not long after, two boxes of ledgers arrived.Tang Gan smiled and said, "It's all here."

Gao Zhanming opened the box, took out an account book, flipped through it casually, and went to get another one.

Tang Gan watched Gao Zhanming carefully.Gao Zhanming didn't pay attention to the contents of the ledger at all, and frowned from time to time, as if he was very distressed.Tang Gan laughed secretly in his heart: The pampered young master, it is you who want to read the account book, can you understand it?After spending so much time getting people to send the account books, in the end, whether it is black or white, or can you just say it with your own mouth?

Tang Xue looked at her son in a daze, and seeing that he didn't understand clearly, she turned to Tang Gan for help, hoping that he could explain something.

However, Tang Qian was so provoked by Gao Zhanming today that he had to send the account books, and he was simmering in his heart.He calmed down and thought about it carefully, Gao Zhanming's words of irritating him could be said to be every step of the way, his nephew had never been so scheming in the past, and he suddenly said that he wanted to check the accounts, he must have been instigated by someone behind the scenes.That person was either Liu Da or Gao Tianwen. I think he had become suspicious of him. In short, it must be someone from the Gao family who is haunted!Since Gao Zhanming wants to investigate, let him investigate carefully. We must take this opportunity to kill his prestige, otherwise, maybe he will have another attack in the future!

Gao Zhanming didn't even open the account book, he only looked at the cover of the account book.After a while, he put down the account book, smiled leisurely, and said, "Uncle has worked so hard for so many accounts."

There was something in his words, but Tang Qian couldn't hear the deep meaning in his words, and said with a smile on his face: "It's not hard work, for you two, how can you say hard work!"

Gao Zhanming picked up the tea bowl and took a sip unhurriedly, and said, "Ming'er has something I don't understand, and I want to ask uncle."

Tang Gan thought to himself, Gao Zhanming didn't even look at the account, he thought he couldn't understand it at all, and he didn't even know how to do it.The smile on his face deepened a bit: "You just ask, what uncle knows, I will tell you everything."

Gao Zhanming said slowly: "The account books here seem to be incomplete. Tomorrow, I want to ask uncle, where are the remaining account books?"

Tang Gan was taken aback, the smile on his face froze: "What?"

Gao Zhanming didn't need to look at the contents of the account at all.He only got a few numbers right before he knew that the accounts here were all fake accounts.The cover of each account book has a record of the start and end date. He just looked through it and found that the account books of the previous few years were more detailed. There were at least two or three books in a month. The total is in a book, but this year's account does not have a book!The reason is very simple. In the past, Tang Gan sent the account books to the government for public inspection, so even if he made fake accounts, he had to be more meticulous.In the past two years, he had already persuaded Tang Xue not to send the accounts, which saved a lot of effort in making accounts, so the fake accounts he made were crude and sloppy.

Gao Zhanming said: "It's already April, why haven't you seen any of this year's accounts?"

Tang Gan hurriedly said: "It's only been four months this year, and the account book will have to be added up at the end of the year, so it hasn't been sent."

Gao Zhanming said: "In the three years before Yinwu's account books, there were at least twenty or thirty accounts a year. Why are there only two or three accounts a year after Yinwu's three years?"

Tang Qian's face twitched, and he said with a dry smile: "Ming'er, you usually ignore the family business, so you don't know the reason. In the past two years, it has become more and more difficult to do business, coupled with the embarrassment of the family and the lack of money turnover, in order to preserve the main To operate, your mother and I had to sell several properties. With fewer fields and shops, there will naturally be fewer account books."

Gao Zhanming said, "What is the main industry of our family?"

Tang Qiandao: "Jade and silver wares."

Gao Zhanming raised his eyebrows: "No, uncle. When the Gao family separated, in order to avoid brothers fighting each other, each person's work was not in conflict. If I remember correctly, the several places our family got The main business is spices and silk, followed by jade and silverware, how did jade and silverware become the main business, and even gave up our original largest foreign business in order to preserve the business of jade and silverware?"

The Gao family first made their fortune by relying on merchants.The reason why the Gao family is so powerful is not only that they occupy high positions in the court, but also because their business involves major industries in the country.Princess An is in charge of the national salt industry, and this alone is enough for him to eat for several lifetimes.However, what Gao Yuanqing got before his death was a few luxury goods businesses, including spices, silks, satin, gold and silver wares.Gao Yuanlan, the Marquis of Shenning in Runan, owns several mines, can mine and cast copper, and is also a wealthy party.The livelihood of the people in the world is in the hands of the Gao family, how can they not have the power to the Supreme?

Now Tang Gan couldn't laugh anymore.When Gao Yuanqing died, Gao Zhanming was only one year old.As soon as Gao Yuanqing died, their family was defeated. Several business operations were taken over by the brothers of the Gao family under the name of "temporary management", and they have not been returned to this day.Many other people competed with them for these businesses, and the scale of the business was forced to shrink a lot.However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even though Gao Yuanqing's property has been reduced from covering the whole country to only one near Gyeonggi, his family's annual income is still very considerable.But Gao Zhanming was not clear about these things. Tang Xue was a confused person, she couldn't figure it out herself, let alone teach her son?She always thought that there was no shortage of money in the family. Before Tang Gan took over, she had been deceived by many people to take away many properties. Reasonable.

Tang Gan always thought that Gao Zhanming didn't even know what his family did for a living, but he didn't expect Gao Zhanming to know all about it!But if he knew it before, he would not allow himself to act recklessly until today. He must have only recently known these things.

Tang Gan gritted his teeth with hatred: Who else?Gao Zhanming must have been instigated by those in the Gao family to set up this trap to investigate him!Damn the Gao family!The Tang family is married to the Gao family, so it's fine that he didn't get rich and powerful, now it's so easy to get some money, and those bastards from the Gao family even instigated Gao Zhanming to find out about him!

However, although Tang Qian was extremely annoyed, he didn't dare to show it on his face, he only said: "Ming'er, who taught you these words?"

Gao Zhanming sneered and said, "It doesn't matter who taught me? Am I still wrong?"

Tang Gan wiped the sweat off his brow, and said, "Ming'er, it's true what you said, but it's all from the old calendar more than ten years ago. After so many years, the situation in the world has changed. Spices, silk, etc. Waiting for business is really difficult, and in recent years, many people have competed with us for profit, such as the spice business. Recently, the most popular spice shop in Beijing is Hengyuan Fragrance Shop. It has become so crowded that it is difficult for us to continue the business. It is precisely because of this that we have no choice but to abandon the army and protect the commander in chief.”

He said again: "Ming'er, did you come to question uncle because you were provoked by someone with a heart? Uncle has worked hard for you two all these years, even if there is no credit, there is hard work. The poor management of the business is uncle's responsibility. Uncle also feels guilty, but if you question his intentions, it will make uncle very sad!"

Tang Xue also spoke for Tang Qian: "Ming'er, your uncle treats you the best. When you were studying in Zongxue, he was always worried that you would be cold, hungry, or bullied. It's better than a mother like me. You have to pay attention."

Gao Zhanming only sneered in his heart after hearing what the siblings said.Who wouldn't say the concern on the lips?The important thing is, what did Tang Qian do for him?I'm afraid he didn't do anything except plotting his family's property!Now that he is bluffing people by sacrificing his family affection, Tang Xue will be fooled by him, but he will not!

Gao Zhanming said: "Uncle, you misunderstood. No one said anything to me. I also know the painstaking efforts of my uncle. But now that I am not young, and the burden of my family is heavy, I don't want to live with my eyes closed anymore. I just asked my uncle my question when I was puzzled, how could my uncle think of going there?"

Tang Gan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."

Gao Zhanming picked up an account book from the end of last year, flipped through it casually, looked at the total amount of inflows and outflows at the end, and said, "There seems to be something wrong with your account."

Tang Gan began to wipe the sweat from his brow again.After Gao Zhanming's understated words and attitude of taking weight lightly just now, he suddenly felt that his nephew seemed to be a little different from usual.Gao Zhan obviously leaned on the back of the chair casually, but inexplicably formed a sense of oppression for him.He hurriedly said, "What's wrong?"

Gao Zhanming said: "This account book is a general ledger for the owner to see. It stands to reason that the stub of the ticket number should be stored in the account book. Why did you record the input and output items for three months in this book, and even Not a single stub? That's out of order."

Tang Gan swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.Because the account books do not need to be sent to the house for review, Tang Qian was careless and casual when he ordered people to make false accounts. In the first year, he thought about going to the ticket office to get a few stubs corresponding to the numbers on the account and attaching them to the account book as a backup. Someone checks.But after a year or two, Tang Xue never doubted him once, and handed over all the power to him. He didn't even bother to go to the ticket office, and let people just smooth out the account number at will. passed.This year, even the fake accounts are lazy.He originally found a bank to issue invoices for his fake account, but the money in and out was very troublesome and affected the flow of funds. Since no one checked it, he never went to issue invoices again. How could there be a stub for Gao Zhanming to check? !

Breaking into a cold sweat, he argued in a trembling voice: "The ticket stubs...the ticket stubs are just not deposited. The account books have not been sent to the public office for the past two years, so the ticket stubs are not stored in the general ledger, and I have stored them in another place. "

Gao Zhanming calmly said, "Since that's the case, please trouble uncle to send me the ticket stub to check the account."

There were indeed many omissions in the account. Tang Gan originally thought that Gao Zhanming could not understand it, so he was very relieved. He didn't expect Gao Zhanming to be really sensible!If Gao Zhanming insisted on looking at the ticket stubs, he would be ruined.The ticket stubs issued by each ticket number have records of time and date, and are also stamped with a seal. It is difficult to counterfeit.Even if the date is falsified, the time of billing is different, and the interest generated will naturally be different. As long as you take the ticket stub to check the ticket number and find that the interest is wrong, you can immediately expose him.

Tang Gan really panicked at this moment, and said angrily: "Ming'er, you still say that you can't trust uncle?! If you want to see the account book, uncle will show it to you. If you have any doubts, you can ask uncle, uncle. I'll tell you! But you actually have doubts about the amount on the account, and you still have to use the ticket stubs to correct it. Do you still think that uncle will swallow your money?!"

He turned to Tang Xue again and said, "Sister, if you don't trust me, just say it! Why bother to beat around the bush and investigate me in the name of checking accounts?! I've been in business for you for so many years, and I've never done anything wrong! Look at the ticket stubs, then I will go and show you. However, there is no doubt about the employer, and there is no need for doubters. Since you have already trusted me, I don’t have to make trouble for myself! I will send the ticket stubs. This is the job of the chief shopkeeper. Pick someone who can take on the big job, I will go back to Zhongshan tomorrow!"

When Tang Xue heard that Tang Gan was about to resign, she immediately panicked.She doesn't understand economics, and has been relying on Tang Gan to manage the family business for her all these years. If Tang Gan leaves, who will take care of dozens of shops and hundreds of acres of fertile land for her?

Tang Xue hurriedly reprimanded Gao Zhanming, "Ming'er! What are you messing around with! Can't you trust your uncle's behavior?"

Gao Zhanming secretly shook his head.He originally wanted to peel off Tang Qian's disguise little by little, and find out his fox tail.He thought it was a long way to go, but he didn't expect that Tang Gan couldn't sit still at the beginning.The ledger that Tang Gan brought over had too many loopholes, and it was impossible to turn a blind eye to it, not to mention that Tang Gan didn't even keep a copy of the fake ledger. What's the point of being easy to bully? !Perhaps he should also thank Tang Xue for being confused. If she hadn't indulged this good uncle so much, he might not have been so easy to let Tang Qian show his original shape immediately!

Gao Zhanming closed the ledger and stopped mentioning the ticket stubs. Suddenly, he changed the subject and asked Tang Qian, "Uncle, there is one more thing I want to ask you about tomorrow. I wonder what kind of jade articles are mainly in our auspicious jade shop?"

Tang Gan was taken aback for a moment, but was puzzled by his question.However, Gao Zhanming didn't bring up the issue of the ticket stub anymore, he thought that Gao Zhanming had been intimidated by his threat just now, and he was afraid that he would give up the pick, but he couldn't bear to apologize to him, so he changed the subject.So he straightened his waist again, and said, "Jadeite, white jade, topaz, and sapphire are all available."

Gao Zhanming said: "Is there any red coral? I heard that it has become popular among the people in recent years." Last year, during the Dragon Boat Festival, the Empress Dowager Gao led the emperor's concubines on a dragon boat tour on the Yuhe River. The Empress Dowager Gao wore a set of red coral jewelry, which was very luxurious.After that, red coral became popular among the people, and everyone from the wives of dignitaries to folk women competed to wear coral jewelry.The price of red coral was quickly raised, and it was actually more expensive than emerald.

Tang Qiandao: "Not at all. Why, Ming'er likes red corals? You don't think you want to give it to some girl. If you want, uncle will order some decent corals for you."

In fact, there is indeed a sale of red coral in the jade shop.The red coral business is when the profits are high, who doesn't want to take a fortune?However, Tang Gan didn't want to share profits with Gao's family, so he did the business in private, and there was no money for the red coral business in the reported account.

Gao Zhanming said, "Isn't there any in our shop?"

Tang Gan was taken aback for a moment, and raised his eyes to meet Gao Zhanming's, only feeling that Gao Zhanming's expression was secretive.He was a little guilty, but he had already denied it just now, and Gao Zhanming still had the account book in his hand, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "It's true."

Gao Zhanming smiled and said: "That's weird. I sent a servant to the Auspicious Jade Shop yesterday to pick out a gift for my mother. The servant came back and told me that there are several pieces of red coral in the jade shop, all of which are extremely expensive. , and a three-foot-tall red coral tree, worth hundreds of taels of silver." He pretended to flip through the account book, and said, "But the strange thing is that there is no such item in the account. How is this? What's going on?"

Tang Gan's clothes were soaked with sweat.Damn Gao Zhanming, he dug another hole for him to jump!What kind of medicine did my dull nephew take wrongly? !

Gao Zhanming said unhurriedly: "Uncle, I definitely don't doubt you. I have seen your affection for our mother and son these years. It's just that we have a big family and a big business after all. If you run it alone, you will have four pairs. You can't even keep your eyes open. Those damned servants are doing tricks in secret, doing business in private, thinking they can hide the truth. I suspect that you were also deceived by the servants below. Uncle, don't you think so?"

Tang Gan had nothing to say, so he could only say dryly: "Yes... yes."

Gao Zhanming threw the account book in his hand into the box, and said: "When my father was alive, our family didn't say that we were rich, but at any rate we had no worries about food and clothing. He left early, and our orphans and widows had no one to rely on. It is inevitable that the industry will fail, but it will not be reduced to this level. I am afraid that our family's money will be eaten by those damn moths! Uncle, these ledgers are too rough. The account of the field is here, let's check it out, who is doing the trick? They even dare to lie to uncle, but we must not let them off easily!"

Gao Zhanming said to Tang Xue again: "Mother, what do you think?"

Tang Xue nodded: "Ming'er is right."

Tang Gan was put on the head of the bar by Gao Zhanming's words, neither up nor down, so he could only say: "Yes... it's just a small account in the shop, it will take a long time to pay it in order, I'm afraid it will be a while... "

Gao Zhanming smiled and said: "There are so many troubled days, don't they give chances to those who are interested in making false accounts to deceive people? You can't give them a lot of time. I have to trouble my uncle to watch and ask people to pay the accounts immediately. I only ask the middle school I have applied for three days off, today is the second day, I should go back the next day, if the account book cannot be paid, I am afraid that I will not have time to check it carefully."

Tang Gan was already slumped like an eggplant beaten by frost, but after hearing Gao Zhanming's words, he immediately regained his energy.That's right, Gao Zhanming only has three days off, and now there is only the last day left. If he can delay this day and go back to school, he won't be able to worry about so many things!As long as he was dismissed, wouldn't it be easy for Tang Xue to appease him? !

Tang Gan hurriedly said: "Okay, then I will send someone to collect the account books."

Gao Zhanming said: "Tomorrow. Tomorrow, Uncle must have someone send the account books. Tomorrow is my last day off, and it is also the last day for those moths to survive. If this time passes, things will be difficult to handle."

Tang Gan nodded repeatedly, and said perfunctorily, "Okay, okay!"
