Chapter 476: The dandy’s family killed all the civil and military officials of the dynasty (29)
With Luzhu's help, Jin Shu was able to check a book of accounts quickly.
As the largest family in He'an County, the Jin family had a lot of complicated internal accounts, mainly because the family was prosperous and many people relied on the Jin family for their livelihood. Every month, more than a dozen accounts were handed in from outside and needed to be sorted out.
If there were only the expenses of the four people in the Jin family, there would be no need for any account books.
In this way, when it was almost evening, Jin Shu had checked all the 17 internal account books for this month.
The rest was the most complicated calculation.
Luzhu thought that Jin Shu would need a long time to think, but she didn't expect that as soon as she finished sorting, Jin Shu asked her to pick up the brush and dip it in red ink.
"Circle all the details I mentioned and hand them over to the lady."
Luzhu obediently did what Jin Shu said, and then delivered the account book to Mrs. Jin before nightfall.
"Have you finished reading it?" Mrs. Jin looked at the thick stack of account books in front of her, a little unbelievable.
Luzhu nodded.
"I've read it all. The young lady said that in the future, such things can be handed over to her, so you don't have to worry about it."
Mrs. Jin smiled helplessly, waved her hand and let Luzhu go. Then she dealt with the trivial matters in the shop for a while and had dinner. Before going to bed, she saw the account book at hand and thought that she might as well open it and take a look. As a result, Mrs. Jin, who was originally leaning on the bed, sat up immediately and her expression became gradually solemn.
She turned the pages faster and faster. When the county magistrate walked in, he thought she was angry again.
"You are going to turn the account book until it smokes. Why are you still turning it?"
"This is the account book made by your daughter. Take a look."
Mrs. Jin threw a book over, and the county magistrate muttered while turning it.
"My daughter? Which of my daughters is capable of doing accounts? Didn't Chu Yao do all these accounts before?
Oh, this time the account book is beautifully done, so neat and tidy, it doesn't look like Chu Yao can do it.
Who did it?"
"Ashu."
"Ashu? What are you joking about? How can she do the account book?"
Mrs. Jin frowned and shook her head, with a complicated expression and mixed feelings in her heart.
"It doesn't matter whether it was Ashu who did it. What's important now is that there are big problems with the previous accounts in our mansion."
The county magistrate never cared about these things, so he had never seen what the previous account books looked like.
"If the problem is big, then solve it. It's not a big deal."
"Three hundred taels are missing in the account for one month. Is this a small matter?"
"Three hundred taels? How can there be so many missing? My salary this month is only seventy taels. How can our mansion be short of so much money in one month?"
Mrs. Jin is a businessman. As soon as she saw the account book, she keenly noticed the problem.
After flipping through the account book, her expression was serious and her voice was cold.
"The previous accounts were all made by your good niece. I never doubted it. I always thought that the increase in expenses in the mansion was caused by the loss of the store. Now it seems that these account books are what they are! There are missing and leaking. There are problems in the account of last month!!" The county magistrate sat down, his face a little bad. "You mean Chu Yao's problem?" "Is it her problem? The list in the account book is not clear enough?" "You said that this is the account book made by Ah Shu. What does Ah Shu know about accounting? Why do you have to push Chu Yao out as an outsider? It was fine before, but you have to make simple things so complicated!" Mrs. Jin sneered at him. "You lived well before? If this goes on, our Jin Mansion will be eaten away by termites! From today on, I will not let your good niece interfere in all the affairs of the Jin Mansion! Also, I will definitely find out what happened during the time when I was not in charge of internal affairs!" That night, the fruit trees planted by Jin Shu in the garden sprouted. This growth rate can only be described as rapid.
Bamboo shoots after rain are just like this.
The seeds are not ordinary seeds, so it is normal for them to grow fast, which is completely in line with Jin Shu's psychological expectations.
The next day, Jin Shu asked Jin Shouan to send people to transplant all the fruit seedlings in the garden and send them to her yard outside the county.
Jin Shu asked Jin Shouan to buy this yard, and she only put forward two conditions at the time.
On the mountain, remote.
With such a geographical location, you only need to spend twenty taels of silver to buy a large yard with a garden. Although he doesn't know why Jin Shu bought this, Jin Shouan rarely asks why, because as long as there is a benefit, it's fine.
The fruit seedlings were sent out, and Jin Shu asked him again.
"Have you found the people I asked you to find?"
"Yes, they are all guards who have retired from the palace due to age. As you said, they are all arranged outside."
"Doesn't our mother have a gold shop? Find someone to buy 3,000 kilograms of pig iron and send it to the gold shop. I need it."
"3,000 kilograms? How can we buy it? Besides, we don't have that much money!"
Iron is not an ordinary item. It is expensive. What's more, Jin Shu wants 3,000 kilograms at a time. It's so expensive!
"Don't worry about the money. I will give it to you in two days. You just need to ask around. Remember, you should say that the Jin family is planning to open an iron shop."
"Will mother agree if she knows?"
"She won't know."
"How could she not know that you transported so much iron to the back of the gold shop?"
Jin Shu pursed her lips, a little impatient.
"She gave me the management of the gold shop, how did she know?"
Jin Shouan was stunned for a few seconds, and then dug his ears in disbelief.
"Are you telling the truth? The gold shop has been managed by you?!"
"If you have any questions, just ask your mother, and then do as I say as soon as possible. Once everything is done, this bag of gold leaves will be yours."
Jin Shu took out all the advantages of being at the bottom of the box.
Jin Shouan changed his face.
"Don't worry, sister, I have everything. Don't tell me you want iron. Even if you want the moon in the sky, I will find a way for you."
Who said the Jin family are all playboys?
It's hard to find anyone with Jin Shou'an's ability to do things like this in the world.
Aren’t the good friends I usually make come in handy now?
Jin Shu went to see the guards Jin Shouan had found for her.
There are more than seventy of them in total, and all of them have been on the battlefield.
Now that the country is stable, these soldiers have disarmed and returned to their fields.
Then there was a severe drought for many months, and the fields were gone. They had no choice but to find another way to make a living.
So Jin Shu invited all these people over at the price of two taels of silver a month.
They obviously didn't expect that the person who hired them at this juncture was just a teenage girl.
Just as they were looking around curiously, they heard the little girl speak, her voice clear and sweet.
"You go back, and each of you can recruit ten more people who have been on the battlefield for me."
