Chapter 386
Gu Jiu didn't want the silver brought back from Jiangnan, but others did.
It can be said that all the people in the palace are rare except Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao.
After eating vegetarian food, they had a little rest, and then set out to return to the palace.
After entering the second door carriage, Ouyang Fu plans to go back to his room and ask the second young master how much money he has brought back from the south.
I didn't expect Pei to take the lead and tell the internal servant: "go, please invite the second young master to Chunhe hall. My princess has something to ask him. In addition, please bring your family member. "
The Chamberlain takes orders and arranges people to act separately.
When Ouyang Fu hears the speech, he exchanges a look with Shen Bian Fei. His mother-in-law and daughter-in-law decide not to go back to the house first and go to Chunhe hall with PEI.
Xiao qin'er also wants to join the party.
Last year, Liu Yi made a mistake when he went to Jiangnan to collect money.
She wanted to see what happened to the second childe this year.
If the second childe brings back enough money, that's all.
If the money brought back by the second childe is not as good as Liu Yi, she has to force Ouyang Fu and his wife to spit out the money.
Gu Jiu doesn't want to go to the party. It's cold. He just wants to go back to the room.
If silver is not silver, she doesn't care.
She didn't lack the money of the palace.
She opened her mouth and planned to say goodbye to Pei.
Did not expect Pei Shi to disagree, "eldest daughter-in-law, you are a legitimate long daughter-in-law, how can the matter in the house be kept out of the way."
Gu Jiu eyebrows and eyes pumping, this time thought that she was a legitimate long daughter-in-law, usually how did not think of her this identity.
Pei Shi did not give Gu Jiu a chance to refuse the Jedi. As soon as his voice fell, he went out.
Gu Jiu can't, can only follow up.
Xiao Qin Er snorted and muttered with Gu Jiu, "the second young master must have been greedy for money. Elder sister-in-law, you are the first daughter-in-law. You can't sit back and ignore it. "
Gu Jiu smiles, "there is no evidence, four younger brothers and sisters do not nonsense. Let's look at the situation first. "
Gu Jiu guesses that the second childe must be greedy for ink, but he will never be as blatantly greedy as Liu Yi.
The second young master is a commoner, so he dare not be a conscientious servant.
At the same time, the king of Ning acquiesced in a little bit of greedy ink.
This time, the accounts of Jiangnan must be able to pass.
I'm afraid it's not so easy for Pei to make mistakes.
When they arrived at Chunhe hall, they sat down separately.
After waiting for a while, the second childe, who was a little tired, arrived at CHUNHETANG.
The order of the palace has arrived.
"It's been a long time. How was the journey? "
On the way, he replied, "my mother-in-law bowed back. Thank you for your concern
Pei asked again, "is the situation in the south of the Yangtze River OK?"
"Everything is fine," said the second childe. This year, the wind and rain are favorable in the south of the Yangtze River, and the income of the farm is 20% more than that of last year. "
"Oh?"
Pei's family had some accidents. He looked at his family.
Home order adults take out the account book, handed to Pei Shi, "this year's income is indeed more than 20% in previous years."
Pei looked at the account book and found that the income of the Grange was good, but the business on the shop and the sea trade business were not satisfactory.
She could not help frowning.
"My eldest daughter-in-law, I remember you are good at accounting. Look at these books for the princess. Are there any problems? "
Gu Jiu was surprised for a moment. She never thought Pei would let her check the accounts of Jiangnan, but also in front of everyone.
Gu Jiu did not rush to agree, she quietly observed the reaction of all the people present.
Shen side imperial concubine is obviously nervous, and Ouyang Fu beside her is short of breath.
The second young master's face was calm and calm.
Xiao qin'er stretched out her neck and wondered what was recorded in the account book.
She finally looked at Pei and ran into Pei's eyes.
"The eldest daughter-in-law, why don't you move? Take the account book
Gu Jiu whispers a smile, "daughter-in-law obeys."
She took the account book in her hands and flipped through it.
Qingmei takes out a small abacus from her body and puts it in Gu Jiu's hand.
Gu Jiu turned over the account book with one hand and the abacus with the other.
Her eyes always fall on the account book, did not look at the abacus in her hand.
However, with the right hand of the abacus, the fingers move up and down at a speed as fast as a virtual shadow.
All the people present were amazed to see this scene.
I've seen people who are good at abacus, but I've seen them for the first time like Gu Jiu.
Seeing her calculating, everyone thought, no wonder she is so good at business.
It seems that people with good accounting skills are good at business.
The Grange accounts are simple.
Most of the farmlands in the south of the Yangtze River were used to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms.
With the rise in silk prices, the farm's income has also risen with the tide. No wonder this year's income is 20% more than that in previous years.But shops and sea trade are not satisfactory.
Gu Jiu has no account books of previous years in his hand, so he can't make a comparison.
From the book view, the profit of the shop is very low, only 15% of the total.
Do retail business, 15% profit to drink the wind?
Retail business does not have more than 30% of the profits, shops simply can not open.
Gu Jiu eyebrows and eyes droop and smiles. If there is no name in it, she doesn't believe it.
I don't know whether the name comes from the steward or from the second childe.
This year's sea trade business has made money. However, the profits of the sea trade can only be said to be unsatisfactory.
Bang!
The last one of the abacus dropped, making a crisp sound.
Gu Jiu stopped his right hand, closed the account book, said to Princess Pei: "the account is clear, there is no problem."
Pei is suspicious.
Gu nine smile, "every stroke is clear, and the general ledger does not differ."
Pei immediately understood the meaning of Gu Jiu.
There's no problem with the books. The accounts are very clear. If there is a problem, the problem is also with the person who does the accounting.
If there is a problem with the person who makes the account, then these account books are fake books, and there is no question.
Fake books are naturally perfect.
There is no reference, no real transaction documents, no original accounts, no way to audit.
Gu Jiu returned the account book to Pei.
She checked the account. It didn't take much time.
When everyone came back to their senses, her side was over.
Pei's account books show that the second young master brought back 170000 Liang silver from Jiangnan. Compared with the previous years, the income is not big and acceptable.
"What do you think?" Pei asked
"With the money, we will be able to relax next year," he said vaguely
Pei laughed and scolded the old fox in his heart.
The family order didn't say that the second childe brought back more money or less, only said it was enough. Sure enough, it's going to be nice.
Gu Jiu droops her eyes and smiles.
Seventeen thousand Liang, which is a lot of money, enough for the palace to spend several months.
But is it a joke to take the scale of Jiangnan's industry and the profit of 170000 liang?
Not to mention the Grange, the income of the shop.
In terms of the scale of Wangfu sea trade, if Gu Jiu is entrusted to operate, she can earn back 170000 Liang and 370000 Liang.
Of course, Gu Jiu will not be rash to expose the truth.
After all, the people below also want to eat.
In other words, the people below did not let the palace go bankrupt.
A little black in the heart will make you bankrupt. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. What can the palace do?
Beat the steward? Get out?
It's useless.
Everyone knows that maintaining the status quo is the best way to deal with it.
Unless there is a strong person on the stage to deal with all industries and management by thunderbolt means, and there are enough people to replace those vacant jobs, and can calm down the vibration in a short time and put the business on the right track.
Is there such a person?
No!
Neither can Gu Jiu.
Because she's nobody.
She is not short of money now. If she has no money, she can borrow money from the Shao Fu.
She is now short of people and a large number of compound talents who can take charge of their own affairs.
In ancient times, the most valuable thing is still talent.
This year alone, Gu Jiu's business has expanded several times. However, the talent pool has not kept pace with business expansion.
Not everyone has the ability to manage a shop, a business, but also to ensure profitability.
Any talent must be trained and experienced.
There is no talent who is born with everything without paying tuition fees.
Genius doesn't work. Genius also needs time to accumulate and learn. The difference is that days can greatly shorten the time of accumulating learning.
In just a few years, er Zhuang helped Gu Jiu to reserve all the talents.
She had no more hands to take care of the estate of the palace.
In the past, Gu Jiu also had the idea of fighting for the right to be the steward of the palace and taking over the Royal estate.
Now, however, she has no idea.
She is too busy with her own business. She has no mind and energy to take care of the property of the palace.
And she had to find time to get pregnant and have a baby. She was so busy.
The property of the Palace should be left to Princess Pei.
When people are busy, they will not think about it and have no time to be a demon.
Only those who have nothing to do will think of being a demon every day and make trouble everywhere. For example, Princess Huyang.
Pei said to the second childe, "you are very good. If you can bring back 170000 Liang silver, you will live up to the expectations of the Lord and my princess. "
The second childe was relieved, and his heart finally came true.He bowed over and said, "it's all for a son."
Pei wanted to be critical and suppress the second young master.
However, she remembered the situation of Liu Yi last year. At this time of last year, Liu Yan brought back only tens of thousands of liang of silver.
In contrast, Liu Yi was defeated.
Her own son did not strive for success, and she did not have the courage to criticize the common son's fault.
And three months ago, the second young master sent someone to send back the silver. The two times add up to more than 200000 taels.
This income, I really try my best.
Pei Shi rested the wrong mind, and quickly sent the people away.
Shen side imperial concubine smiles.
Can she not be happy if her son fights for her face?
She told her second son that she had arranged a table for dinner in the evening.
The second young master readily agreed.
The second childe and Ouyang Fu return to the room first.
The couple haven't seen each other for half a year, and they miss it very much.
The second young master squatted down with his ears close to his bulging stomach and listened to the children.
"He's moving." The second young master looked surprised.
Ouyang Fu laughed, covered her lips and said, "of course he can move. In another month, he will be born. "
"It must be a son."
The second childe is very vocal and has a strong desire for his son.
Ouyang Fu felt pressure, "what if it was a daughter?"
The second young master shook his head, "it can't be a daughter, it must be a son."
Ouyang Fu is a little flustered.
She also looked forward to the birth of a son, incomparable desire that the son's mood will not be less than half a point.
But at the same time, she is also ready to have a daughter.
Even thought well, in case of a daughter, what would she say and do? I have thought about what kind of pressure I will bear.
But when she saw the second childe's attitude, she was very flustered.
If it was a girl, how disappointed he would be.
What would he do?
Will you not look at the child? Will it be the princess's arrangement, direct concubine?
"What's wrong with you? I don't look very good. Is it a stomachache? "
The second young master asked nervously.
Ouyang Fu tried to laugh. "It's OK. I'm fine. Don't worry
The second young master was relieved. He said with a smile, "guess what I brought back?"
When Ouyang Fu heard this, she was also happy, "is it silver?"
The second childe nodded, conjured like, took out a thick envelope, "you see."
Ouyang Fu can't wait to open the excitement, which is full of silver tickets. A hundred and twenty-one, a thick stack, tens of thousands of taels.
"It's thirty thousand taels in all, and it's hard to dig them down. Take the money and keep it for our son. "
Ouyang Fu said with a sweet smile, "my husband has worked hard."
"It didn't come in vain."
Then he sighed, "I went to the south of the Yangtze River to find out that all the people in charge of the affairs belong to monkeys. They are very refined. In recent years, they have become rich by relying on the property of the palace. I've been around with them for half a year, and I've managed to dig out so much money. "
"Is the steward of Jiangnan so arrogant?" Ouyang Fu looks incredible.
The second childe laughed at himself, "the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Can we not be arrogant? Fortunately, the fourth younger brother set an example last year. This time I went to the south of the Yangtze River to keep an eye on it. I learned the lesson of the fourth younger brother and lost their way.
Otherwise, the task assigned by the father can not be completed at all. Last year, the fourth younger brother went to the south of the Yangtze River and was played around by those in charge. It was not a crime of war. Up to now, those people are still spreading jokes about the fourth younger brother. "
Ouyang Fu asked curiously, "you and the fourth childe, the grand grandson, who are so bold that they dare to play tricks on you?"
The second young master shook his head, "there is nothing they dare not do. You know that there is a problem, but you can't find out where the problem is. On the contrary, they will play around together.
I can see clearly that the gang in the south of the Yangtze River have reached an agreement in private. As long as people go to the capital, they will stick together and deal with us.
Unless my father made up his mind to abolish all the people in the south of the Yangtze River from top to bottom. But in this way, Jiangnan's business was completely ruined. To maintain the status quo, at least one or two million Liang a year. If you touch those people, you won't get a silver or two. "
In the final analysis, Jiangnan's governors united and elevated the palace together. It's a bit like that military orders will not be accepted in foreign countries.
They listen to the tune or not, they go their own way and make their own decisions.
Of course, they don't want the palace to lift the table and abolish them.
Therefore, they will carefully maintain the status quo and ensure that they will hand in the silver to the palace every year.
As for paying more or less, it all depends on who comes from the capital.
The more powerful people, more money.If you are a fool, you should pay less money.
In any case, the silver must be paid.
As long as he paid the money, King Ning would turn a blind eye to them. everybody ' s happy!
After listening, Ouyang Fu was speechless.
"According to what you say, the place south of the Yangtze River has become a tiger's den."
"Almost. It's not easy to get out of it. The fourth brother planted it last year. "
"How come you never planted it?"
The second childe frowned, "I don't know. The steward on the other side of the south of the Yangtze River is very secretive about his elder brother's affairs and refuses to disclose a word. "
He did not know that in the early years, that is, in the first ten years when the royal family sent people to the south of the Yangtze River to buy property, there was not even one hundred thousand taels of silver handed in by Jiangnan every year.
At that time, the palace had a small population and few expenses. Ning Wang's eyes were in the court, but he didn't care.
Later, Liu Zhao was able to take charge of it on his own, and King Ning sent Liu Zhao to Jiangnan.
Liu Zhao is a cruel man.
He knew that he was no match for those in charge of business, accounting fraud and cheating.
He didn't bother to get involved with the people in charge.
When the money was paid, he locked up all the people and gave them nothing to eat but water to drink.
Whoever pays more than one time of silver will be released. Otherwise, it's always closed.
And some carried it for three days, and paid money and left.
Some people carried it for half a month, but they couldn't make it. Their lives were almost gone. They had to compromise and pay money.
In that year, the silver paid by Jiangnan changed from tens of thousands of taels to hundreds of thousands of taels.
King Ning is very clear about this matter.
Because King Ning cut off eighty thousand liang of silver as his private money. So many years ago, he kept it from Pei.
Two years later, King Ning still sent Liu Zhao to Jiangnan.
Liu Zhao's consistent style, I don't want to force you blindly. Since my childhood, my son has been a military man. He only shows his force and his muscles.
The subtext is:
be honest!
Or you'll die in minutes!
Since then, the amount of silver handed in by Jiangnan has changed from tens of thousands of taels per year to more than 100000 taels. Occasionally, it can break through 200000 taels.
Liu Zhao has not been to the south of the Yangtze River for many years, but his legend still spreads in the south of the Yangtze River.

Qingmei takes out a small abacus from her body and puts it in Gu Jiu's hand.
Gu Jiu turned over the account book with one hand and the abacus with the other.
Her eyes always fall on the account book, did not look at the abacus in her hand.

"It's thirty thousand taels in all, and it's hard to dig them down. Take the money and keep it for our son. "
Ouyang Fu said with a sweet smile, "my husband has worked hard."

The second childe laughed at himself, "the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Can we not be arrogant? Fortunately, the fourth younger brother set an example last year. This time I went to the south of the Yangtze River to keep an eye on it. I learned the lesson of the fourth younger brother and lost their way.
Otherwise, the task assigned by the father can not be completed at all. Last year, the fourth younger brother went to the south of the Yangtze River and was played around by those in charge. It was not a crime of war. Up to now, those people are still spreading jokes about the fourth younger brother. "
Ouyang Fu asked curiously, "you and the fourth childe, the grand grandson, who are so bold that they dare to play tricks on you?"
The second young master shook his head, "there is nothing they dare not do. You know that there is a problem, but you can't find out where the problem is. On the contrary, they will play around together.
I can see clearly that the gang in the south of the Yangtze River have reached an agreement in private. As long as people go to the capital, they will stick together and deal with us.
Unless my father made up his mind to abolish all the people in the south of the Yangtze River from top to bottom. But in this way, Jiangnan's business was completely ruined. To maintain the status quo, at least one or two million Liang a year. If you touch those people, you won't get a silver or two. "
In the final analysis, Jiangnan's governors united and elevated the palace together. It's a bit like that military orders will not be accepted in foreign countries.
They listen to the tune or not, they go their own way and make their own decisions.
Of course, they don't want the palace to lift the table and abolish them.
Therefore, they will carefully maintain the status quo and ensure that they will hand in the silver to the palace every year.
As for paying more or less, it all depends on who comes from the capital.
The more powerful people, more money.If you are a fool, you should pay less money.
In any case, the silver must be paid.
As long as he paid the money, King Ning would turn a blind eye to them. everybody ' s happy!
After listening, Ouyang Fu was speechless.
"According to what you say, the place south of the Yangtze River has become a tiger's den."
"Almost. It's not easy to get out of it. The fourth brother planted it last year. "
"How come you never planted it?"
The second childe frowned, "I don't know. The steward on the other side of the south of the Yangtze River is very secretive about his elder brother's affairs and refuses to disclose a word. "
He did not know that in the early years, that is, in the first ten years when the royal family sent people to the south of the Yangtze River to buy property, there was not even one hundred thousand taels of silver handed in by Jiangnan every year.
At that time, the palace had a small population and few expenses. Ning Wang's eyes were in the court, but he didn't care.
Later, Liu Zhao was able to take charge of it on his own, and King Ning sent Liu Zhao to Jiangnan.
Liu Zhao is a cruel man.
He knew that he was no match for those in charge of business, accounting fraud and cheating.
He didn't bother to get involved with the people in charge.
When the money was paid, he locked up all the people and gave them nothing to eat but water to drink.
Whoever pays more than one time of silver will be released. Otherwise, it's always closed.
And some carried it for three days, and paid money and left.
Some people carried it for half a month, but they couldn't make it. Their lives were almost gone. They had to compromise and pay money.
In that year, the silver paid by Jiangnan changed from tens of thousands of taels to hundreds of thousands of taels.
King Ning is very clear about this matter.
Because King Ning cut off eighty thousand liang of silver as his private money. So many years ago, he kept it from Pei.
Two years later, King Ning still sent Liu Zhao to Jiangnan.
Liu Zhao's consistent style, I don't want to force you blindly. Since my childhood, my son has been a military man. He only shows his force and his muscles.
The subtext is:
be honest!
Or you'll die in minutes!
Since then, the amount of silver handed in by Jiangnan has changed from tens of thousands of taels per year to more than 100000 taels. Occasionally, it can break through 200000 taels.
Liu Zhao has not been to the south of the Yangtze River for many years, but his legend still spreads in the south of the Yangtze River.
