Listening to Han Jiang's words, Wu's account room seemed to be a little confused, and it wasn't until the account book came to his hand and he held it and read it, and his forehead was oozing sweat.

This is the account at the end of September, and the account is reversed. and the account that was lent out was counted as deposited.

Although this is only an internal account, the bank has already had rules and regulations, and it must not be messed up. Otherwise, the account room will not match the treasury silver, and the skin will be pulled up, and there will be more cats in the future.

For this reason, the bank has already formulated corresponding punishment regulations.

This time, the mistake of Wu's account room was not big, but the amount of money was large, and this disposal could not be light.

Thinking that the sixteenth elder brother, the top boss, had only arrived in Beijing, and he had made such a big mistake, Wu's account room turned pale, and his hands holding the account books trembled.

There are many minions in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and only a few are really lacking.

He really doesn't have to worry about people filling his position.

"Advisor Han......" Wu Ledger thought of this, looked at Han Jiang's eyes, and prayed a little.

Han Jiang raised his head and said, "Write a statement to Cui Langzhong, and wait for the sixteenth master to deal with it." ”

Wu Ledger has been in contact with Han Jiang's family for a few years, and knew that she was unsentimental, so he sighed in his heart, and before he could put down the account book, he heard someone laugh and say, "What are you waiting for?" Isn't it that the bank has made good returns in the past few months, waiting for the lord to give everyone a red envelope? ”

With the sound of talking, the one who entered the room was the sixteenth elder brother.

Han Jiang hurriedly got up from his seat, Wu also knelt down, the sixteenth elder brother waved his hand, called the two of them up, glanced at the account books on the case, and said to Han Jiang: "How is the income in September?" ”

"Medium." Han Jiang's answer was concise.

The sixteenth elder brother did not go to the back seat of the bookcase, but picked up a chair on the side and sat down, and said to Han Jiang: "Well, at the end of the year, I have to be busy. It's just that in these months, there are many people who come to take out mortgages, and other months also add up, and it seems that the bank will be tight at the end of the year. ”

Han Jiang's family has also been thinking about it recently, and he already has a faint idea in his heart, waiting for the sixteenth elder brother to return to Beijing to discuss. It's just that there is still a Wu account room at the moment, and Han Jiang's family can't say much, so he didn't answer.

Only then did the sixteenth elder brother remember that there was still Wu Ledger standing on the side, looked at the account book in his hand, and said to Han Jiang's Zhengse: "The account is wrong?" ”

In the past two years, there are many people in the capital who are worried about reaching out to the bank, even if there is a sixteenth elder brother in the town, but they can't stand the greed outside.

Before, there had been two incidents of silver accounts, and the sixteenth elder brother had a violent attack before it could be stopped. At the moment, the sixteenth elder brother thought that those people were restless, and began to calculate the bank again, and he was very impatient.

Han Jiang nodded and said, "It's a good score." and the balance of the two hundred and seventy thousand to one million and eighty thousand......"

This "reversal" is not a big deal, but the sixteenth elder brother's expression did not relax, and his eyes looking at Wu's account room became sharper.

Wu couldn't stand anymore, bent his knees, and knelt down.

The sixteenth elder brother picked the corners of his mouth, looked at Wu's account room and said, "Reverse the account? If you remember correctly, you are an old man who opened the bank last year. Those people were personally selected by the master, and they were all old bookkeepers who had been on errands in the Internal Affairs Office for more than 15 years. Tell me, what's going on with this account? ”

Wu Ledger knelt on the ground, his back was already covered with cold sweat, he raised his head and wanted to say a few words, and when he saw that the sixteenth elder brother was looking at him, he immediately changed his words and explained truthfully.

It turned out that his niece got married last month, and he was counting the balance. He begged other account offices to help him settle and reconcile accounts, and copied it to the account book, but he didn't expect that something went wrong.

When the sixteenth elder brother heard this, he frowned and said after a while: "Help you reconcile the accounts, which one?" ”

"If you go back to the sixteenth master, it's Dong Changgong." Wu returned tremblingly.

"Dong Qingyuan?" The sixteenth elder brother was a little familiar when he heard the name, and said, "People from Dong Dianbang's family? ”

Wu Jifang replied: "It's the cousin of Manager Dong." ”

The sixteenth elder brother glanced at Wu's account room and asked Han Jiang: "According to the rules, how should I be punished?" ”

"Looking for someone to do the accounting, making the account for the person, playing fifty boards, and fining one hundred taels of silver; If you make a mistake in the account, you will be divided according to the amount of the book, and you will be fined 80 silver for the lightest, and the worst will be directly handed over to the Department of Prudent Criminal Justice of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for accountability. Han Jiang said calmly.

The sixteenth elder brother nodded and said to Wu's account: "Hear clearly?" When I went to Cui Hua, I said what the master said, if you know your mistakes and make mistakes, the board will be doubled, and you will be fined three hundred. The one surnamed Dong is also the same. ”

This punishment is not light, but when Wu Accounts heard it in his ears, it was still like heaven, and he hurriedly kowtowed and thanked the sixteenth elder brother for his grace, and went down to find Cui Hua to lead the board.

Han Jiang looked at the back of Wu's account room and thought thoughtfully. The sixteenth elder brother only thought that she was soft-hearted, and said: "It's not a big mistake, but you have to guard against people with intentions, and it's good to knock and knock." ”

"Sixteenth master, according to the rules, if there is a mistake in the account, the accounting manager and I, the consultant, will be responsible for the failure to investigate. This piece, the lord should also be punished. Han Jiang said.

The sixteenth elder brother nodded and said, "If this is the case, you are still careful, or you will forget it." ”

This is not a big deal, but a fine of 100 taels of silver, showing it to everyone, can be regarded as an explanation of the matter.

In the house, except for Han Jiang's maids, that is, the sixteenth elder brother and his two close guards, there is no one else, and Han Jiang's family will say a way to raise money.

When the sixteenth elder brother heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "This method is good, the bank has been open for more than a year, not to mention the real estate, land deed, and pledge in the library, there are a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings, valuable things." If such a move is made, the principal of the loan will be recovered, and the profit can be several percent. ”

Han Jiang was relieved to see his support.

What she meant was to auction off all the collateral that had passed the due date. There are many powerful people in the capital, and at the end of the year, it is the time for weddings and gifts, and these things can also be sold at a high price.

In the future, according to three months or half a year, the last time you come again, you can also make the bank's money lively.

If the sixteenth elder brother does not agree, the bank will go down, and it will not take a year and a half to have turnover problems.

The sixteenth elder brother thought of those clan shareholders, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Since it is a pledged thing, the starting price is a few percent lower than that outside, and if you grab it, it will be cheap." It can be regarded as a sweetness for those clan shareholders, and this post will be sent to these people's homes. In addition to the shareholders' own families, they can also give each family friends and relatives three invitations. In this way, the people who have a little weight in the capital are almost all together. This month is a bit rushed, so it's set at the beginning of next month, and the preparation is more relaxed. ”

Han Jiang nodded in response, and took advantage of Cao Hao's bidding in Jiangning and the bidding of the Internal Affairs Office that year, and agreed on a few details with the sixteenth elder brother...... * Changchun Garden, Qingxi Book House.

Seeing that the fourth elder brother handed over a fold, Kangxi couldn't help frowning, and said, "The household department has been in deficit for a few years, and there is so much left?" There is no silver in this treasury, what should I do with the call of the military department? ”

No wonder he frowned, after the fourteenth elder brother led the clan to set off with the Eight Banners army, this silver was like a flower like flowing water. There was a lot of money in the household, and many of it was silver from the inner treasury.

However, the silver in the inner treasury is not rich, and the bulk has to count on the treasury of the household department.

Unexpectedly, there was silver on the books of this treasury, and the treasury was still empty.

Kangxi had already discussed with the ministers that by the beginning of spring next year, there would be several wars to be moved. Now the military department and the household department are all doing pre-war supplies for this.

Unexpectedly, the card is here in silver.

"This year's tax money hasn't arrived yet, where are we going to make up the money?" Kangxi seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to be asking the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother remembered a place to get money, but he was not completely sure, and he didn't dare to say anything first.

Kangxi saw that the fourth elder brother was silent, sighed, and said: "Let's see if there is any other interest, if not, this silver will be paid from the inner treasury first, and the household tax silver will be ......filled when it arrives."

*Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden.

Cao Hao had dinner with Chu Yu and mentioned the dowry of Wuen. Wu En has been diligent in his errand over the years, teaching God to bless them in Mongolian enlightenment, and this time she married into Cao Fang's family, and neither husband nor wife wanted to wronged her.

Chu Yu's meaning is that the dowry is more, and it can be regarded as giving Wu En a long face, so that she can please Cao Fang's daughter-in-law; Cao Hao looked at Xiao Man's share, and he didn't want Han Jiang's to spend more, so he wanted to add more on his side.

"The furniture has been looking for someone for a long time, and it should have been purchased for a few more dowries, and there is the example of Steward Wei back then, so it's not good, so let's add more softness." Chu Yu said.

Cao Hao has always listened to his wife in these delicate matters, and nodded his head in agreement.

Because the seventh elder brother came back with Hu, Cao Hao discussed with Chu Yu again, and after two days, he took the child over to ask the seventh elder brother for peace.

The husband and wife were talking, when they saw Xiyan come in and said, "Gege, Cao Yuan's family is here, see you under the corridor." ”

Chu Yu nodded and said to Cao Hao: "It should be a matter of picking people, many maids in the inner house have reached the age and should also pick people." ”

Of course, Cao Hao has nothing to say, not to mention others, it is the four colors that should be used around Chu Yu, and now only the youngest Xiyan and Xixia are not married.

Xiyun married Zhang Yi and went to Xiamen; Xicai married Zhao Tong and went out of Beijing to be the wife of the magistrate.

Wutong Yuan has long been a supplement, but he went out of the city in the spring, and he has not been able to take care of this.

Back in the capital, Chu Yu remembered this, so he instructed Cao Yuan's family to pick some of the children from the family and teach some rules, so that they could be made up in each courtyard.

Now, that's pretty much the way it was taught.

Cao Hao stood up and said, "I just happened to go to see my wife, you are busy with yours." As he spoke, he got up and went out.

Seeing this, Chu Yu hurriedly stopped, found a green cloak and tied it to Cao Hao, and said: "Although the snow has melted these two days, it is not warm, so it is better to be careful." ”

Cao Hao said: "Recently, my wife feels a little more, but it is too much." Later, if you finish the errand, you will also come to the Lan Courtyard, and we will accompany my wife to play cards for a while. ”

When Chu Yu heard this, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, and said: "These days, the uncle is willing to play cards, and every time he wins, his wife complains." Mrs. said that next time I would find the second wife to come over and win the uncle. ”

In fact, there are a lot of female dependents in the house, but Cao Hao accompanied the Li family to play cards, but he could only let Chu Yu or the maid make a hand.

Who makes this world, there are many rules in the house, and there are many "family rites" to observe. At home, in addition to Chu Yu, there are also sisters Tian and Lianqiu.

Although they live in a house, they are considered to be their own family, but there are other rules for men and women to talk about. Even if the married sisters return to Ning, Cao Hao can't eat at the same table, let alone other people.

This is playing the leaf card, he will be will, but he is a new hand. Because, only when he was a child, he accompanied the old lady to play.

Unexpectedly, the new hand was lucky, every time he accompanied the Li family to play cards, Cao Hao could win money. He wanted to deliberately lose a few handfuls to make Li happy, but the girl who was looking at the cards behind Li was rusty, and he couldn't give a look.

"Second wife?" Cao Hao groaned for a while, looked at the sky outside, and said: "It's not dark yet, then let someone pick it up, it just so happens that my sister sent someone to ask about the mountain goods outside the Guanwai, so I have to ask the second wife and the second brother and sister, make a list, and buy it together." ”

Chu Yu responded, and Cao Hao came out of the house.

Cao Yuan's family, with two little girls, stood under the porch, saw Cao Hao, and leaned down to say hello. Cao Hao waved his hand and strode out.

When Cao Hao arrived at the Orchid Courtyard, Li was crooked on the kang in the outhouse, coaxing Changsheng to speak.

Hearing the maid's report that her son was coming, Li straightened up and called in, Changsheng had already kicked his calves down the kang and happily called "brother".

Cao Hao took off his cloak and said goodbye to his mother, so he picked up Changsheng and made it on the chair.

Changsheng grabbed Cao Hao's buckle and said with a smile: "Why doesn't my brother become a general?" ”

Cao Hao looked at Li, and Li said with a smile: "I gave him the ancient just now." ”

"My brother wants to earn money as an errand boy, but he can't be a general. Does Changsheng want to be a general? Cao Hao looked at his younger brother, who was slightly thin, and asked.

In my heart, I thought that this child's body is not strong, and it will be cold this year, so he should follow the Ren brothers to learn boxing and feet in the spring of next year, and first practice his body and bones to be strong.

"To be a general? Like Hengsheng, do you always run under your head? That's not possible, Mama said, can't be sunburned, it's time to get sick. The elder milk replied in a milky voice.

Cao Hao touched his brother's little head and said, "The little boy can't be too squeamish, isn't that a little girl?" ”

Changsheng listened, and just laughed.

Li Shi heard the disapproval in his eldest son's words, and called ** to take Changsheng out, and complained to Cao Hao: "Your father also nagged me when he was alive, saying that he was a loving mother and a bad child, but he himself was not willing to get used to it. What's the way, if you bask in the sun a little in the summer, you will get heatstroke, and in the winter, if the wind blows a little, you will freeze. That's how I look at it, and I have to get sick twice a year. Or what your second aunt said is right, this child is the creditor of the previous life, and the debt collection is coming, which makes people uneasy. ”

"Even if the foundation is weaker, it is not good to be confined to the house all the time. Zuo Cheng was not as good as being immortal when he was a child, and he was raised extensively with a few boys, but now it is not good. Cao Hao said: "I know that my mother loves Changsheng, but next year Changsheng will be six years old, and it will be too big, so it's still not good to be too pampered." ”

The eldest son is the backbone, what else can Li Shi say, then nodded, and said: "What you said is reasonable, when the weather is warm next year, let him go out with his nephews more......"

* Suzhou, weaving house, inner house.

Wang sat on the kang, looked at the two women brought in by the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, looked at them a few times, frowned slightly, and said to the housekeeper's daughter-in-law: "It's the two of them?" Tell them to look up? ”

The housekeeper's daughter-in-law did as she was told, and the two women raised their heads.

He is not very old, although his face is sallow, but he can faintly see that he has a bit of a posture, and he is used as a needlework, and he is afraid that he is restless......
