Jiang Zhong came out of the study with a sad face.
"Brother Jiang, what's wrong?"
Jiang Zhong looked at the guys gathered around him and said distressedly: "Master asked me to buy a batch of goods. I have something to do and I can't leave. Which of you is free? How about I leave it to you to do it?"
"Don't we buy most of our goods from the Qin family? Just tell them and have them delivered directly to your door."
"This time is different." Jiang Zhong said, "Almost all the Qin family's goods have been sold to us. We don't have the goods in hand and it will take a few days to prepare. This batch of goods is urgent and needs to be transferred from the next city."
In the crowd, two waiters looked at each other.
"Brother Jiang, did the owner say the price?"
"As for the price, it's probably about the same. There's no special requirement." Jiang Zhong said, "The most important thing is that we need it urgently. I need this batch of goods within three days."
"I'll go." One of the waiters raised his hand, "Everyone has been very busy recently. It just so happens that I'm a new comer and my skills are not as good as everyone else's. I can help share the worries for everyone by running errands."
Jiang Zhong patted the waiter on the shoulder: "Then thank you for making the trip. Who else is willing to go?"
Mu Siyu and Zheng Shuyu stood in front of the window and watched the scene below.
"There are too many people and there are too many things to do." Mu Siyu said, "When I was in Hubei City, those guys were so down-to-earth and devoted to me. Look at them again, there are quite a few who are restless."
"Do you think you are just a banknote and everyone has to be devoted to you? People die for money and birds die for food. The human heart is the most uncontrollable thing in the world. One day you are a close friend, but tomorrow you may be your enemy."
Mu Siyu put her arm around Zheng Shuyu's shoulders: "We can't go that far, otherwise how sad would I be?"
"If you help me get rich, I will definitely not betray you. The only thing in this world that can make me happy is money." Zheng Shuyu pinched his fingers, looking like a miser.
A fat man with big ears strode into the Dream Home store. He looked for a familiar figure in the crowd, and when he saw that person, he called him: "Brother Fang."
When the waiter named Fang heard his greeting, he strode over with bright eyes.
"Mr. Jiang, why are you here?"
"I'm here to introduce you to business." The man surnamed Jiang hinted at him, "This time it will be much more, as per the old rules..."
Mr. Jiang also brought people here to buy goods. For a bed that originally cost 520 taels of silver, he reported the lowest price of 500 taels. In fact, he sold it to that person for 515 taels. The difference of 15 taels was divided between them.
.
"Hey, Brother Fang, Brother Zhong, I will recruit more people for you in the future, and we can make a fortune together!"
‘Brother Zhong’ is the person in charge of the cashier.
I just sold the goods and got the difference of fifteen taels of silver. Each of the three people got exactly fifty taels.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no customers, a few people sneaked into the alley to share the money.
Five taels is not a small amount for them, it is enough for their expenses for several months. And they have done this kind of thing a lot, and they have made a lot of money recently.
"Everyone, can you tell the difference clearly? If not, let's go to the Yamen to tell the difference." Jiang Zhong's voice came.
Several people looked at the sudden appearance of Jiang Zhong and Xia Kun with gloomy eyes in horror.
Everyone is familiar with Xia Kun's role: housekeeper.
Although his presence is not strong, no one who works at Dream Home does not know about him.
A few days ago, someone came to cause trouble, and Xia Kun kicked him out, causing the man to lose several teeth, so there were many fewer troublesome guests during this period.
Dream Home. Mu Siyu and Zheng Shuyu were sitting side by side. The two clerks who had just been caught were standing opposite Mr. Jiang. The other clerks formed a circle. Some were confused and some were worried.
"Tell me, how many times has this happened?" Zheng Shuyu said.
"This is the first time." Brother Fang trembled.
"First time?" Mu Siyu smiled lightly, "Now if I tell the truth, I can get a lighter sentence. Otherwise, it cannot be solved by returning the money. I will report it to the government and let the government file a case. Once I am in jail
, even if he is released only for a few days, he will still have a criminal record. According to our court laws, your son is not qualified for the scientific examination. Of course, you must think it doesn't matter, and then I don't care."
"The third time, really the third time." said Mr. Zhong.
"Who else has done anything dirty? If you tell them all, you can make up for it." Zheng Shuyu said, "Including you, if you know anything, you can tell it. If you are found out, your corruption will not be confiscated.
Silver is such an easy punishment."
"Actually, if you want to check it, it's easy. Just find our customers according to the records above, and then ask them what the transaction price is. Once you check it, you can get it right. But I don't want to bother you. If you explain it yourself, I will
It can also save trouble. Otherwise... once I find out, I won't ask you to pay back the money. I will directly report the crime of theft and let the government take care of you." Mu Siyu placed the teacup in her hand heavily on the table.
Ding! The sound made by the teacup makes those who have ghosts turn pale.
"Those who report others will be rewarded with merit. Each person who reports will be rewarded with one tael of silver. Of course, if the accusation is false, there is no need to stay in our store. Our store cannot tolerate such a giant Buddha." Zheng Shuyu made the final stab.
"I report Chen Jia..."
"I report Jiang Song..."
"I reported Ge Hu, but Ge Hu is not here..."
Thanks to the combination of kindness and power, and the fact that this matter has been exposed to the sun, it is impossible to hide it even if you want, and more and more people are willing to take credit.
Of course Ge Hu wasn't here, after all, they had a big game waiting for him.
The other clerks enriched their own pockets, but Ge Hu's situation was much more serious. He took advantage of the convenience of importing and exporting goods and tampering with the account books. Each time he embezzled not just a few taels of silver, but dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver.
"Honestly hand back the money you embezzled, leave your dream home, and never use it again." Mu Siyu punished these guys.
As for Ge Hu and other serious cases, he was handed over directly to the government to be convicted of corruption.
In the study room, Wen Yi handed the newly prepared account book to Mu Siyu for review.
"The thieves are almost cleared out. If there are any evil ones, we have to consider whether it is a good deal or not. But in this way, there are many fewer people available, and we still have to prepare for the trade fair.
, is this too late?”
"Actually, the goods are only good, not too much. There are people who really want them, and they are willing to spend this time waiting, so if there are not too many goods, we can't rush them out, and it won't delay the business."
"I think instead of hiring new people and training a new group of useful workers, it is better to hire craftsmen who have done carpentry at a high price, or who are currently running a shop but are not doing well." Wen Yi said, "This saves a lot of trouble and can also
Solve the current urgent needs."
"Then I'll leave the recruitment to you." Mu Siyu stood up, "I still have to go check on everyone's work progress."
