Hong Shang followed the instructions and came to the reception desk of Yongshan Hall.
The reception desk is an office separated from the lobby. There are tall bookshelves on the three walls. There are brand-new books on the bookshelves. If you look closely, you can see that the surnames are also marked on the bookshelves, Zhao Qian, Sun Li... Bai.
All the family names are listed.
The businessman was secretly surprised, but he didn't want to ask more questions. The girl sitting behind the desk let him look at her. When he looked away, he smiled kindly and said, "Are you here to make a charity donation?"
The girl has an outstanding temperament, and her clothes and hair accessories are all luxurious. It is obvious at a glance that she is from a good family. Thinking of the knowledge that has just been popularized, the merchant knows that this girl should be a girl from a wealthy family.
Amazing! These pampered girls do not find it boring and complicated to do such tedious work.
He muttered in his heart, but his face became more respectful and said: "Yes, yes, I am a businessman who has just arrived in the capital. I learned that Mrs. Ning Guo's Yongshan Hall is doing good things to help the world, so I came here to donate some silver to make a meager donation.
force."
The smile on the girl's face became more and more friendly, and she said: "Your Excellency is really a good person, and you will be blessed in the future."
Then he asked him where he was from, his name and the amount of silver he donated. The merchant told him one by one. The girl nodded and turned around to give instructions. Then she saw a boy setting up a ladder and taking out an account book from the top of the bookshelf, and the account book belonged to
The bookshelf belongs to the businessman named Zheng.
What surprised him even more was that the book he took down not only belonged to the surname Zheng, but also had a big word "Qingzhou" written on the cover, which was his hometown.
The girl turned to the latest page of the book, dipped her hand in ink, and the beautiful hairpin flowers appeared on the paper: "On a certain day in a certain year, His Excellency Zheng Xian, a businessman from Qingzhou, made a charity donation of twelve taels of silver."
Then he handed over a red seal and said: "Sir, please press your fingerprint to confirm the donation."
Zheng Xian secretly marveled, stamped his fingerprints as required, and finally couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart: "May I ask the girl, are all the books on the bookshelf records of charity donations?"
While drying the ink, the girl smiled and said: "Yes, in order to record the good deeds of all the good people and to facilitate the ranking of charity, our charity will register every silver tael. You are a businessman, so there are no opportunities to donate in the future.
There are many, so I leave a blank page for you. And the great benefactors who live in the capital and have long-term cooperative relations with the shantang have a special accounting book."
I see.
Every account is recorded in detail, so that the accounts will not be confused and criticized in the future.
Mrs. Ning Guo is indeed cautious and thoughtful.
The ink on the account book was dry. The girl asked the servant to put the account book back on the bookshelf, and then took out a piece of paper with a form on it to record something. Mr. Zheng had never seen such a form, but seeing the income and expenditure data on it,
You know it's a new type of bill.
All the data in the form are clear at a glance, which is a good way to keep accounts. Zheng Xian was excited and wanted to ask the other party for advice. However, he was worried that this was his unique method and he would be conflicted if he asked rashly, so he secretly remembered it in his heart.
I'll ask my acquaintances at the Chamber of Commerce later.
Seeing him standing in a daze, the girl kindly reminded him: "If you are not busy, you can go to the charity list at the door to see the excitement. It is the donation record of the great philanthropists last month. Due to limited space, only one record was recorded.
Among the hundreds of good people, there are several good people from Qingzhou, and maybe you know them too."
Mr. Zheng was in a hurry to come in to donate, but he didn't notice the situation at the door. However, he knew that many people had gathered there to watch the fun. He immediately became interested. After thanking the girl, he went to see the charity list.
