Chapter 550 After checking the family
After what happened last night, Yue Qianqiu washed the small sword several times. Although he was not a person with cleanliness, he carried it with a thing that killed a rat that was not known to be toxic or not. He was really uncomfortable, so he simply took a handkerchief and wrapped it in it.
However, the old shopkeeper took it solemnly, opened it and took a look, and the intention of deliberately delaying it was immediately dispelled. It turned out to be the token of the master, not the kind that was given to others for one-time use!
However, it would be fine if Yue Qianqiu, the new owner, wanted to take stock of the warehouse, but Jin Cancan, a rich daughter who has always been a big mouth, also wanted to follow him, but the old shopkeeper was really bitter. However, before he could think about how to persuade Yue Qianqiu, the other person had already urged him directly: "I have several shops to take stock of them one by one, hurry up!"
Well, when you meet this ninth young master who is the most unreasonable, your highness is considered unlucky!
Forced a loyal old man to surrender, Yue Qianqiu certainly knew that it was difficult to force others. However, he was not here to take over the senior official today, and he had a clear idea in his heart. At this moment, when he saw the old shopkeeper open the door locks in the deepest warehouse with various dazzling techniques, he still couldn't help but be amazed.
He was a person who had seen many good things. Although the Yue family had a shallow foundation, the old man Yue didn't care so much about gold, jade, jewelry, etc., and the second and third houses were afraid that he would share his property. However, since he became Yan Xu as his teacher, the warehouse in the Princess's Mansion of Dongyang could be considered half of his. Yan Xu often took him in and took whatever things were. The emperor might have loved the house and the Wuwu or other reasons. He even went to the inner treasury of the palace twice.
He clearly remembered that even the inner treasury of the palace did not have so many locks!
Thinking of the old shopkeeper's hinting that the bodyguards Jin Cancan took with him were optimistic about the two young men in his shop and not let outsiders come in. Cheering helplessly, he brought him and Jin Cancan into the room, and the more curious he became.
Sure enough, when the deepest door opened, he suddenly realized that this was a house made of stones rather than bricks except for the beams and pillars. Although the walls were rough, the lime groping seemed to be a few years old. It was definitely not built in recent years, and it was probably older than him.
The furnishings in the house are simple, except for the cabinets, and are neatly placed. Perhaps because few people come in, these cages appear dead in the swaying light under the dim oil lamp in the old shopkeeper's hand. But as the old shopkeeper opened the first box with a little dawn, Jin Cancan was the first to exclaim and then took a breath of cold air.
"This is...it's not fur, it's gold!"
"Yes, it's gold." The old shopkeeper glanced at the irrelevant person who was brought in by Yue Qianqiu, and smiled bitterly very stiffly. "The money earned by the fur shop in Saibei is here over the years. Because furs are shipped from the north, His Highness never let me transport money north, so it's enough to save it over the years. Every box here is full of gold, silver and copper coins, and gems that are not easy to damage. The pearls are not beautiful in color because they are longer than year-round.
Yue Qianqiu narrowed his eyes slightly and finally signaled the old shopkeeper to open them all.
He counted the boxes one by one, and even opened them with his hands to move the boxes to try the weight. Occasionally, he would take out all the gold and silver to see if there were stones and other things to fill the box. But unfortunately, there was no, even the least valuable one, that is, the whole ten boxes of copper coins. It was probably because it was too long that he just grabbed the rope that strung the money and rotted.
After these intuitive feelings, it was a general account sent by the old shopkeeper. Originally, the old shopkeeper had to bring all the annual reading books, but Yue Qianqiu waved his hand to stop him.
He did not really take stock of the family business, so he had no intention of looking at the detailed account. After opening the general account, he only scanned a page of fur goods and inputs sold every year, annual expenditures, annual balances, and the final total number. His eyes stayed on the 3,000 taels of gold and 30,000 taels of silver for a long time.
Jin Cancan's straightforwardness or impulsive personality is used to being born out of an extremely good family background. Since the Jin family has become the richest man in Jinling in recent years, she has always been a wealthy family in the past few years. She has been used to seeing good things since she was a child, so she often looks at things outside because it is exquisite and fun. She doesn't have them at home, not precious.
Of course, the fur shop's family's assets cannot shock her, but Yue Qianqiu said that this is just the first one, and there are other things that need to be continued! The family has a foundation of at least tens of thousands of taels, so what about five or ten? Will there be more secrets in addition to these things, the King of Jin in Beiyan have more secrets in the dark? She was curious at first, but now she regrets joining in the fun.
In other people's eyes, Miss Jin was impulsive, just like she had just fought with Pei Zhaodi and showed her clear attitude of supporting Pei Xu's concubine Pei Baoer, but she was not really stupid. At this moment, she couldn't help asking awkwardly: "Young Master Ninth, otherwise I won't go with other places after this family, right? It seems inconvenient."
Yue Qianqiu was not willing to let the witness who came to his door? He beat him without thinking, "It's okay, I'm destined to meet him. Miss Pei ran away in panic. Otherwise, I would be willing to invite her to join in the fun together!"
He said, looking at the old shopkeeper who was already stunned and said, "Old shopkeeper, don't worry that I will swallow your highness's hard work. I am not a robber. These things should be his, and they will still be his in the future. I will now treat it as a housekeeper and take a stake for him..."
While he said that, he threw back the account book to the somewhat stunned old shopkeeper, and turned around and walked out. Seeing Jin Cancan hurriedly running out with his skirt in front of him, he smiled without looking back: "After that, I admire King Jin's wisdom of knowing people. For so many years, he only delivered goods in the north and did not receive payment for goods. So much money has not made people embezzled. It's really not easy for you, old shopkeeper!"
Until Yue Qianqiu and Jin Cancan completely disappeared from sight and the old shopkeeper stumbled out and locked the door one by one again, his heart was full of bitterness. People are not sages, but they are even more ordinary people. How could they not be greedy for money?
But not delivering the payment every year does not mean that no one checks the account. Even if he doesn't know where the account is. He has been in Jinling for more than ten years, and when he takes over, there is this warehouse, but the things are basically empty. In recent years, there are often no head cases in Jinling City. One of the shopkeepers died in three or five years, and there is even a greedy boss who died overnight. The emperor was even furious, but the store was eventually confiscated and there was no official. Therefore, he did not dare to give up his own pockets because of the generous reward.
What's more, does anyone know that he, a famous old shopkeeper in the fur industry, is actually a castrated slave?
But now, what happened or discovered by His Highness, he wanted to give all this huge wealth to Yue Qianqiu?
How much is Xiao Jingxian’s shops worth? When the whole day of inventory was over, Yue Qianqiu finally got a foundation. He felt a little sore in his back and back, not to mention Miss Jin, who doesn’t exercise regularly.
After forcing her spirit to say goodbye to Yue Qianqiu, as soon as she entered the carriage, she took off all the heavy gold jewelry on her body, sat in the carriage and let the girl beat her back and calves, making painful sounds of ouching her ouching her from time to time.
The accompanying nurse couldn't help but whisper from beside her: "Miss, you have made a promise. Although the Jiushou is the grandson of the Yuexiong, your identity is awkward. You followed him all day today. It sounds really bad when it is reported. You have to be more taboo."
"What are you taboo? Our family is not the pretentious Pei family. I am picky about Pei Zhaodi because she has bad intentions. What is the ninth prince who is picky about? He doesn't even care about Princess Beiyan, and doesn't even care about so much money. What's the intention of him because he likes my family is rich? And don't forget, I told him that I have a fiancé."
This young master Yue Jiu did not think that he had an intention to him! Well, in fact, for her marriage, the family was almost worried. She didn't care. At worst, she could just take a family. She didn't want to be a little fugu as her daughter-in-law!
Seeing the wet nurse, she was speechless, and the two girls nodded repeatedly. Jin Cancan said happily: "Just the gold and silver hidden in the shops I followed him to inventory today, it can be as much as half of the gold and silver accumulated by the Jin family."
Of course, shops and land are not counted, but aren’t that not counting?
Although the shops later were not as exaggerated as the famous fur shop, the family's 20,000 to 30,000 yuan was also very considerable in the end. In the end, Xiao Jing, the King of Jin from Beiyan, gave it to Yue Qianqiu more than 400,000 taels!
A girl couldn't help asking, "But for such a big thing, Mr. Yue Jiu didn't call him relatives and friends, why did you let him testify?"
"How do I know!" Jin Cancan covered his forehead with distress, and then suddenly said with his eyes lit up, "Does he want me to help spread it? Otherwise, why would I want to find an excuse to quit, but he insisted on letting me go with you? Well, hurry up, don't go home, just let the carriage go to the Princess Dongyang Mansion, no, go first to hand me the handkerchiefs, and everyone go together! What? Reason... Reasons are all ready-made, just say that I heard that the eldest lady of the Cheng family in Yangzhou survived the disaster and took everyone to see her!"
"It doesn't matter if the eldest princess is not here, the young lady is at home!"
Seeing that his wet nurse and girl were all stunned, the coachman outside even asked again, and Miss Jin said angrily: "What else can spread things faster than using women to chat?"
Of course, Yue Qianqiu didn't know that Miss Jin, whom he had just bumped into today, had already deeply understood what he meant and was about to spread the news for him. But he completely believed that the person who seemed impulsive but could do arithmetic would be able to spread the news he hoped. As for him, he had arrived outside the palace at this moment.
He was seven years old and was not at all troubled at the palace gate. Instead, he was robbed and killed by Xuanwuze yesterday, as well as the dead man who threw out the body outside the Jin Palace, and the familiar imperial guards came to find out the truth. Anyway, he was not an acquaintance like Qi Nantian. He looked around and said that he had changed his mind. When he passed through the crowded imperial city and entered the palace city, his ears were quiet.
Now it is already fourteen, and of course Yue Qianqiu cannot just wander around in the harem like when he was young, but the front part of the inner palace is a place where many high-ranking officials can enter and exit, and he, who has the title of sixth rank, is no exception. Although he secretly prayed in his heart that there are other people in the palace, at least there are other acquaintances or enemies, when he reached the bottom of the steps, he secretly complained.
That's really a crowd of acquaintances and enemies!
As the prime minister, grandfather walked at the end, and Pei Xu, Ye Guanghan, Yu Jianzhong, and the four prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall were all complete!
Pei Xu, who was in the lead, shivered as soon as he saw Yue Qianqiu. He understood that Wu Renyuan fell to this kid's feet and hated the officials. He now only blamed himself for not seeing that this kid was a disaster at the beginning, otherwise he would spare no effort to abandon him!
However, when discussing affairs in the Chuigong Hall today, there was no such thing as the outside world's discussion involving the robbery and killing of Xuanwu Ze, and the murder in the Jin Palace. He could not have caused a verbal talk like a tongue woman. At this time, he did not intend to pay attention to Yue Qianqiu at all. He snorted coldly and walked straight towards Yue Qianqiu, just waiting for the other party to give way to him according to his high and low official positions.
He didn't realize that his dignified appearance was just this sense of superiority.
Although Yue Qianqiu was not the worm in Pei Xu's belly, he knew that he didn't want to see him when he saw the other person's face. He was not happy and bowed to Pei Xu. At this time, he thought about it and saw Old Master Yue walking slowly behind him. He came up with a plan, bent his knees slightly, his toes on the ground, and he flashed to the side, then quickly passed by the three prime ministers incoherently and landed straight in front of Old Master Yue.
"Grandpa, I have something important to tell the emperor that I shouldn't go back tonight. I'll report to you first."
Seeing that the young grandson squeezed his eyes a few times and bowed again, Old Master Yue had no time to speak, and he found that the person had run away and was immediately excited. Turning around, he saw that Yue Qianqiu had already run to the gate of the Chuigong Hall. After saying a few words, he had already entered the hall in a moment. Then he twisted his neck again.
When he found that the three prime ministers below had turned around and faced him with different eyes, he smiled and called out: "The emperor, this kid is almost more diligent than me. He is wild all day long. I will rush him to Wuying Hall tomorrow to calm down! By the way, Ye Xiang, don't forget what you promised before."
Ye Guanghan's face suddenly turned dark. He and Zhao Qingya went to see Old Master Yue together for the candidate of the fat man's future princess. Naturally, he knew that there was a problem with the Cheng family. Now things seemed to have been solved... But the big incident that happened was jaw-dropping, and he was almost worried! Now, this old guy is still forcing him to fulfill the benefits!
He glared at Old Master Yue without pretending, and after a while he said word by word: "A gentleman's word is as good as a horse, I don't need you to remind him! But now this matter has not been concluded."
Chapter completed!
