Tang's dining table

"Leitou, go and urge us again. The Yuanda caravan is about to leave. Why haven't their cargo deposits been paid yet?"

In the bustling Liushui Brand Hall, shopkeeper Zhao took off a clip from the wire above his head, opened the clip and took a look at the list, and then shouted to the big man next to him.

Lei Tou raised his head and looked at the shopkeeper and said, "I reported it yesterday. I can't say it's the people at the bank who are lazy."

Shopkeeper Zhao wiped the sweat from his head and said: "Then let's urge you again. Can such laziness be stolen? The Yuanda caravan specially traveled to the Western Regions. It lasted for a year. Their goods were all on credit. If there is no deposit, how can those merchants who lend goods to the Yuanda caravan on credit agree?"

Lei Tou agreed and left in a hurry.

Seeing Lei Tou leave, Shopkeeper Zhao's heart dropped. The money bank did not transfer the deposit to the corresponding merchant's account in time. It was not unprecedented before, but it was all because of being too busy.

As long as manpower is freed up, it can be solved immediately, so no one pays much attention to this matter.

Especially now, not long after the Autumn Fair, goods all over the world are busy coming in and out. It is normal for the money bank to be unable to keep up for a while. After all, it takes time to move so much money around.

Shopkeeper Zhao took a look at the crowded hall, took out two wads of cotton from his pocket and stuffed them in his ears, ready to sit down and sort out the list he had on hand.

As a result, less than ten orders were sorted out. Shopkeeper Zhao, who had just calmed down, suddenly stood up and ran straight to the second floor of the Liushui brand like a frightened donkey.

I hurriedly entered the second shopkeeper's room, only to find that there was no one there.

Shopkeeper Zhao gritted his teeth, climbed up to the third floor, and said to the big man guarding the door: "I have urgent matters to see the boss."

The big man smiled and said: "Go quickly, the big shopkeeper's room is full of urgent people."

Shopkeeper Zhao hurriedly walked to the innermost room on the third floor. The door was wide open. When he stood at the door, he saw his boss Zeng Fu sitting behind the table with a sad look on his face.

Shopkeeper Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and when he walked into the room, he held up his hands and was about to speak. The boss, Zeng Fu, asked, "How many caravans do you have that have not paid their deposits on time?"

Shopkeeper Zhao said: "After a cursory look, yesterday's summaries for the eleven caravans have not been checked yet. If yesterday's sums are not paid on time, Mr. Shopkeeper, we will be in big trouble."

Erniu, the former bathhouse waiter, is now the big shopkeeper of Qujiang Liushui brand, and Zeng Fu, the retainer of the Yun family, can't see the slightest bit of poverty in the past. Only the big shopkeeper Zeng Fu who is filled with the aura of superiors is left.

Zeng Fu signaled shopkeeper Zhao to close the door, put his hands on the table, looked at the room filled with shopkeepers of all levels of Liushui brand, coughed and said: "Yesterday afternoon, Liu Nayan, acting magistrate of Wannian County, in one day Withdrawn the money from the capital pool of 110,000 yuan."

Second-level shopkeeper Huo Chengdao said: "The 110,000 yuan should not affect the normal disbursement process."

Zeng Fu spread his hands and said: "It will not affect the allocation process. Unfortunately, the government will never use the money in the capital pool to the large merchants that Junhou promised to inject in the past years. If it does, the large merchants have the right to immediately Withdraw the money from the capital pool.

After all, the money in the capital pool does not belong to the government, but to other large merchants, including our Wannian County, of course. "

Huo Cheng frowned and said, "Isn't there a three-month deadline?"

Zeng Fu smiled bitterly and said: "That happened during the time when the monarch was in power. Ever since I heard that your Majesty sent new officials to serve in Wannian County, the big merchants have sent people to guard the capital pool. As long as the new officials dare to touch the funds If there is money in the pool, people will immediately take away their money.

The 110,000 yuan that Liu Nayan took away can be counted on our Wannian County... Everyone, let's not think about stopping the big family from taking the money now. We can't stop it. Let's find a way to raise it quickly. Use money to plug this hole. "

The second shopkeeper Huo Cheng threw the exquisite teapot out of the window. He didn't care if it hit anyone. He fell down on the chair and stared at the roof. "Within 200,000 guan, we can solve it ourselves. 50 guan" In the future, as long as Wannian County goes all out, it will be fine. Now, since we are short of two million dollars, the big shopkeeper can consider selling me to Pingkangfang as a turtle."

The senior shopkeeper Hirang also found a comfortable posture and leaned on the chair, and said to the big shopkeeper Zeng Fu: "If the big shopkeeper doesn't want to take this opportunity to reap a harvest, we can just lie down here. Shopkeeper Huo is young and has a lot of talent. It’s too late to be the Turtle, I should be the Rabbit. I’m old, and I’m most suitable to be the Turtle.”

Shopkeeper Zhao, who came in last, gritted his teeth and said: "We can't let Junhou's family suffer. Don't forget, all the documents are in our hands. As long as we delay it for two days, we can pass on Junhou's losses to the merchants." Go up there...and maybe you can take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune."

Zeng Fu said: "Yes... As long as the Lord is willing, we can even deprive the children of the merchants of the candy... The question is, do you think the Lord will do this?"

Huo Cheng laughed miserably and said, "I'm going to Pingkangfang to be Lord Rabbit. Lord Ping, when you become Lord Turtle, remember to find some more generous guests for me."

When Pinglang raised his head, his face was filled with tears. He looked at Zeng Fu and said, "Is the prince trying to break up the family?"

Zeng Fu said: "I have already reported what happened here to Madam. Madam will be here in a moment. Everyone, things have just begun. It's not time to despair yet. Go back now, clean up the list on hand immediately, count the gaps, and collect everything." For the funds available outside, we will stop issuing guaranteed funds. We will start planning after Madam has the regulations. In short, we must have confidence in the monarch.

The Lord has always been far-sighted and has definitely considered things like the death of a person and the government's rest. As long as we persist until the Lord comes back, things will definitely turn around.

Dear friends, Emperor Taizong once said in a poem: The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough wind knows the loyal ministers. The more this time, the more we must hold on.

If everyone has tried their best and done everything they should think and do, and if they still fail when they look back, then I will take everyone to Pingkangfang to be the rabbit master.

I am a native of Chang'an and have seen many of them since I was a child. My wife is also the head of Pingkangfang. She has a familiar head, which ensures that everyone's business will be prosperous. "

The second shopkeeper Huo Cheng stood up and shouted loudly: "Then give it a try. If you win, I will take you to Pingkangfang. If you lose, I will also take you to Pingkangfang."

At this time, the closed door opened, and Lei Tou, who was sweating profusely, rushed in and shouted to Zeng Fu; "It's not good for the big shopkeeper, there has been a fight in the capital pool warehouse to withdraw funds. "

Zeng Fu glanced at Lei Tou and said, "Where are our funds?"

Lei Tou said: "Shopkeeper Meng in the capital pool warehouse has retained our funds, but there are only one hundred and seventy-four thousand six hundred and twenty-seven dollars."

Zeng Fu looked at the shopkeepers who had not yet left and said: "Look, we are not penniless. Everyone, let's start working. Try to stabilize the existing customers. We will continue to pay the required deposits and no longer accept new customers." Guarantee document.”

All the shopkeepers left in a hurry, and Zeng Fuyou said to Lei Tou: "Let's make an announcement and let everyone know about the changes in the capital pool."

After hearing this, Lei Tou began to knock out his teeth. After a long time, he cried and said: "Big shopkeeper, the sky will fall..."

Zeng Fu said: "What happened has happened, and there is nothing we can do about it. We can't lie to them. Yun's business is based on integrity. Regardless of success or failure, as I said, doing business with Yun's will be the first step in their business career." Maximum enjoyment.”

"Big shopkeeper...I don't dare..."

"Trash, grind the ink, I will write it myself."

Shopkeeper Zhao stood on the platform on the second floor, looking at the crowded and bustling hall downstairs, listening to the merchants bidding one after another, and everything in front of him looked particularly psychedelic.

When he had only a little free time on weekdays, he would stand on the second-floor platform with a teapot in his arms and overlook the trading scene downstairs. Every bidding sound was not noise at all in his ears, but the most beautiful music in the world. , every time at this time, he felt that the world was extremely wonderful.

Looking at the big man Lei Tou who hurried downstairs holding a huge announcement, shopkeeper Zhao sighed, beat his stuffy chest with his fist, and told himself over and over again - it's time to wake up from the dream.

"ah--"

"ah--"

"Oh my god——"

"Really?"

"Where's the county magistrate? Come out and give us an explanation."

"Quick, quick, throw away all the orders in hand, throw them all away, leave no one behind, it's over -"

The scene that was chaotic but orderly just now suddenly exploded...

Shopkeeper Zhao returned to his cubicle, added water to the teapot, picked up the receipt in his hand, and began to check item by item. At this time, he had to calm down more.

In the past, the documents were almost nothing. They were all profit orders after all. But now it is different. Every document will be a loss document. When you make a profit, you cannot be too tolerant. When you lose money, you have to add 10,000. Be careful.

Yun's doctor Yu Xiurong didn't come after all.

It was Yun Jin, the eldest son of the Yun family, who came. He was still bare-headed and wearing a light blue monk's robe, but there was a perseverance in his brows that was not common in daily life.

Facing the various shopkeepers in Qujiang City, Yun Jin said indifferently: "The Yun family is allocating money and food from various places to prepare to plug this big hole. What should we do? Keep doing it. Earn what you should earn and pay what you should lose." .

I, Aye, said - money is for bastards, if we don’t have it anymore, we can just make more money. "

Zeng Fu said: "The gap is too big, and the entire Yun Sect is not enough to fill it. Once the influence from Qujiang spreads to Luoyang, Yangzhou, Jinyang, and Chengdu, it will not be about filling the hole, but the sky."

Yun Jin looked into Zeng Fu's eyes and said, "Do you dare to follow me, Aye, to mend the sky?"

Zeng Fu bowed and said: "Zeng Fu can turn it into a colorful stone for the emperor to mend the sky."

The second shopkeeper Huo Cheng also bowed and said: "It was originally a stone that mends the sky."

"I would like to be the stone that mends the sky."

"I would like to be the stone that mends the sky."

…

Yun Jin listened to everyone's heartfelt words, and a smile appeared on his face. After returning the courtesy to everyone, he chuckled and said: "It's just patching the sky, it's not like no one has patched it before..."

When I went out in the morning, I saw a pork seller selling black haired pigs from Hainan. I didn’t buy the meat, but bought a bunch of intestines. After I came back and cleaned them carefully, I was stewing them in a pot. I like to eat fat intestines, but I never buy cooked ones. Pig intestines washed by your own hands are the most delicious food in the world.

Today, I will just watch a pot of intestines and write stories. I don’t care how much I will write, but I will at least satisfy you all.
