"Hurry, the account, there is not enough staff here."

"This is wrong, I'll count it again."

"Hurry up, do you have to know clearly today's accounts? Who dares to be careless? Don't blame me for being rude!"

This is the sound of the big house in the workshop in the east of the city, and all kinds of abacuses are clattering and making fun.

"Reconciliation, reconcile quickly. You will have to seal the box tonight. Have you forgotten the rules?"

"The silver seal is good and sent to the warehouse!"

"Take all the accounts and submit them after they are settled."

This is Huitong Trading Company, and almost no one is idle, running around and shouting.

Wei Liangqing was sweating all over and kept looking at the account book. Not far away, Fu Tao was not much better. He was not very familiar with Arabic numerals, and things were busy and urgent, so Zhu Xu didn't care about so much, so he had to let him learn while doing it.

It was not until midnight that the accounts of Huitong Trading Bank were cleared. Fu Tao knew the total amount and recorded it in a small notebook. He put it in his arms and said to Wei Liangqing: "Big shopkeeper, I'll leave it here to you. I'll go out."

Wei Liangqing hurriedly said, "Okay, just go and do whatever you want, don't worry if I have you." Since Zhu Xu showed up, Fu Tao and Zhu Xu's relationship could not be hidden, so he dare not neglect it.

Fu Tao hurried out with the account book in his arms and headed straight to the workshop in the east of the city.

As soon as he arrived at the workshop, Li Deyong was sweating profusely and said, "General account, if you come, I will be crazy if you don't come."

Because Zhu Xu adopted two sets of accounting methods, one was Arabic numerals and the other was the current Chinese characters, only those trained by Fu Tao and Fu Tao could understand that without Fu Tao, Li Deyong could not calculate today's revenue clearly.

"Okay, I'm here."

Without saying a word, Fu Tao directed his people and began to calculate today's income.

It was not until the sky turned white that Fu Tao said to Li Deyong with red eyes: "Okay, the accounts are clear. Manager Li, today is good, it is a net profit. Keep it going. Next month, you can earn at least 2,000 taels per month!"

Li Deyong is not interested in how much he earns now, but he just doesn't want to lose so much. He gets excited when he hears it, rubbing his hands and said, "Okay, please tell your highness that I will do my best and will not disappoint your highness!"

Fu Tao also felt relieved, nodded, then walked out of the workshop with his account book and headed towards his house.

As soon as Fu Tao walked into the yard, he found that the lights in his father Fu Changzong's study were still on, and he couldn't help but walk over quickly.

"Father."

He knocked outside and shouted softly.

"Come in." After pausing for a while, Fu Changzong's voice came from inside.

Fu Tao pushed the door and looked at Fu Changzong sitting behind the desk, and said respectfully, "Father, aren't you sleeping yet?"

Fu Changzong gave out a light breath, looked up at him, and said, "Sit down, I'll tell you something."

Fu Tao was stunned and moved a chair to sit opposite Fu Changzong.

Fu Changzong looked at Fu Tao and said, "You are planning to go to the palace to see Xuer tomorrow?"

Fu Tao said: "Yes, the recent accounts have just been cleared, and I want to send them to your Highness for a look."

Fu Changzong pondered and said, "Don't go to the palace anymore. Through that teahouse, let them enter the palace."

Fu Tao looked puzzled and said, "Why?"

Fu Changzong looked worried and sighed: "The reason why Xu'er emerged at this time is mostly because Huitong Trading Company and that workshop will become bigger and bigger. He is alone and alone, worried that if someone covets his mind in the future, he may not be able to defend it. So he took this opportunity to establish his power and cut off some people's minds. However, this kind of troubles is also great."

Fu Tao still didn't know much about Zhu Xu's many things and hesitated: "What are the consequences that my father refers to?"

Fu Changzong looked at Fu Tao's tender face and said without saying much, "Xu'er was confined to the Queen. I haven't seen him recently. However, after the court today, the emperor kept me alone for a while and told me that I might be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

Fu Tao opened his eyes and looked shocked. He naturally knew that both his father and Zhu Xu were used to being low-key and tolerant and never wanted to emerge. However, what does the emperor suddenly promote his father, a nearly transparent person, mean?

Fu Changzong looked at Fu Tao's expression, waved his hand slightly, and said, "It's not that serious. The emperor is just asking for advice from his father. It may also be that the sudden change after Xu'er's high-profile moment has not been used to Xu'er's sudden high-profile moment. In short, before seeing the situation clearly, everything should be as low-key as possible. When Xu'er lifts her confinement, she will make a decision after she has talked to him for her father."

Fu Tao nodded subconsciously when he heard this, and then he was shocked. He looked at his father's face suddenly pale.

Fu Changzong frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong?"

Fu Tao quickly shook his head and stood up and said, "I understand. It's too late, so my father should have a rest early."

Fu Changzong didn't ask much, nodded and said, "Well, remember your father's words in your heart, go."

"yes."

Fu Tao was calm and ran out like a escaping. After running out, he realized that his whole body was soaked when the wind blew.

"No, no, how could Your Highness have such a rebellious mind? No matter what, he doesn't have that power, right, neither his father nor His Highness are like that..."

Fu Tao muttered as he walked, and he was shocked by the thoughts in his heart.

After the weather in the capital entered July, it was hotter one day, and he was confined to his own palace. Even after several days, Zhu Xu still felt that it was so hot.

While drinking the herbal tea made by Yao Qingqing and the fan of Yao Qingqing, he still couldn't get rid of the heat in his heart.

"Your Highness," Cao Wenzhao stood in front of Zhu Xu, handed a book of accounts, and said, "This is the book of accounts sent by Mr. Fu."

Zhu Xu nodded, took it and opened it and looked.

They are all large characters with brushes, and you can see clearly from a distance, and even a page does not have much content.

Zhu Xu slowly flipped over it, and at the same time he became concerned.

Whether it is a business bank or a workshop, although it is ultimately for making money, it also has other functions. For example, the business bank plans to develop him into the largest money house in the Ming Dynasty to roughly understand the economic situation of the Ming Dynasty. In the future, it is also an excellent channel to fight against the Later Gold. And that workshop, some steamed buns and snacks, can't make much money at all. In addition to the channels, his purpose is to make some preparations for fighting the subsequent drought and locust plague.

As Zhu Xu flipped, his eyes couldn't help but narrow.

Even though he released the rumor that the court was going to "rob" twice that day, Huitong Trading's business was not as prosperous as he expected, but so far, the total amount of silver was only eight million taels.

"Am I too anxious? Or are these people confiscated by the court?"

Zhu Xu whispered, but didn't care. He believed that the sign was set up and slowly expanded. If some means were used, the silver would enter his pocket like flowing water.
