Chapter 10 Inventory pawn

Hu Xueyan was in Shanghai, waiting for the exact information from Zuo Zongtang, and he left Beijing on October 18, but instead of going south from Tianjin by sea to Jiangning via Shanghai to pick up the post of governor of Liangjiang, he went back to Hunan to visit the grave first, It is expected that he will not arrive until the end of the year when the seal is about to be sealed.Hu Xueyan originally planned to meet Zuo Zongtang in Shanghai, and then return to Hangzhou after he left for Jiangning. Seeing this situation, he decided to go back first before coming back. On the second day after returning to Hangzhou, he invited Tang Zishao, the manager of the Gongjidian, to come over, and planned to mobilize the manager of the 23 pawnshops. Taking advantage of the opportunity of handing over to each other, he naturally made a plan for a large-scale investigation, and told over him.

"Zi Shao," he said, "you are the leader of my twenty-three pawnbrokers. I want you to do this. You go to draw up a charter. It's best to do it in the middle of the year, starting next year." , every family is a new account, with clear boundaries and clear boundaries. What do you think!" Tang Zishao was stunned for a moment, his mind was fluctuating, he had many thoughts, and he made up his mind and said: "Mr., at the end of the year, if the situation is good, you have to come to redeem the pawn. If the year is not over, ask for Dangdang. When the business is busy, come to the pawn." Mobilize, so as not to cause chaos in the world?"

"That's not bad. However, we can draw up the regulations first, so that everyone can get ready. Once the new year is over and the moon is wan, we can make adjustments." "Yes. This is the right way." After being ordered to come back, Tang Zishao immediately found his supervisor, Pan Maocheng, and had a secret conversation behind closed doors.It turned out that Tang Pan had colluded with fraud for many years, and the most problematic thing was the mandang clothes. In order to make the mandang clothes too much, Gongji Dian specially set up a clothing estimation shop with a sign called "Gongji Clothes Shop". The pawned clothes are sent to Yizhuang for sale, some are intact, and some are dropped. It is obvious that a piece of sheep fur that is probably new "shredded radish" is sent to Yizhuang, and it is changed into a "bare board". .Pawnshops always write valuable things as worthless when they "write tickets". It is obviously a gold spring watch, but the pawnshop says "a rotten brass watch".No one could understand the flamboyant grass except Chaofeng himself, so no customer had ever raised a protest, and because of such "writing tickets" for accounting, the full bag would be lost, so there was no way to check it.

Gongji Dian was the worst place to drop bags. The sables were replaced by purple lambs, and the spun silks were replaced by bamboo garments. They were paired with the purchase accounts of Gongji Clothing Shop. After all the disadvantages were cleared up, it would be ugly at that time. After all, the only way to salvage it was to cancel the plan altogether.However, there is no reason to refute this plan except that the business is busy at the end of the year and it is not appropriate to make major changes.Pan Maocheng was at a loss, but Tang Zishao came up with a last resort idea, but this idea can only be done quietly, and must not be announced, and whether he can do it depends on whether his aunt is willing or not.

It turned out that Tang Zishao was from Huizhou, and Huizhou court officials went to other places to make a living without bringing any family members with them. Hu Xueyan saw that he was lonely in the guest house, so he sent him a girl named Yueru as his concubine three years ago.Yue Ru has been married to Tang Zishao in less than half a year, and she has transformed into another person. Her hair was originally yellow, but it became more black, her skin was originally rough, and her skin became white and thinner. Her figure was not bad. At this time, it became more and more waist and buttocks, which made people think about it, especially those eyes, which were dull and absent, as if they hadn't slept enough, suddenly became watery, and they looked like a flash of light, which was breathtaking.

For this reason, Hu Xueyan was quite tempted, and Tang Zishao had already noticed that he was eager to try every time he talked and talked, but he just pretended not to know.Now that things are urgent and helpless, I just thought of this beauty trick. If I can convince Yue Ru, half the work will be done. After some calculations in advance, he decided to threaten his interests, "Yue Ru," he said, "a disaster is imminent." "A disaster?" Yue Ru couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What disaster did you get into?" "It can also be said that I caused the trouble myself." Pointing to a jade hairpin on Yueru's head and an emerald ring on her hand, he asked, "Do you know where these things come from? "

"Isn't it full of goods?" "That's right, it should be full of goods, and I redeemed it as the original owner." Tang Zishao said, "This is considered cheating, and it will be terrible to find out." "No, Mr. Da is a very kind person. Tell him the truth and admit your mistake. He won't make things difficult for you." "It's useless. It's not about me alone. I will definitely find out. At that time, Mr. Da doesn't need to ask me to walk. I don't have the face to hang out in Hangzhou anymore, so I have to go home and eat old rice." Tang Zi Shao then said with a mournful face, "I did it myself, and what makes me sad is that I hurt you."

"Have you harmed me?" Yueru was shocked, "How could you have harmed me?" "You think, first, if you are caught cheating, you will naturally have to pay. I'm afraid you won't have any jewelry left. Second, you will have to suffer when you return to Huizhou with me. How can you bear that kind of hardship?" Yueru usually heard Tang Zishao talk about the situation in his hometown. Huizhou is in the mountains, with little land and many people, and the production is not abundant, so all the men go out to do business, and the women have to do what men do, carrying water and chopping firewood. Come here, it is harder than women from any place in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.What's more, she also thought about her own identity, met Tang Zishao's first spouse, and asked her to be a humble little girl, serving her day and night, it was something she would rather die than do.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel very anxious, "You are too!" She complained and said, "In addition to the regular salary, every month is divided into 'deposit box', 'use', 'public draw', 'dang', and 'redemption'. Percentage', the extra money is already quite a lot, and there are still dividends at the end of the year, but the days are comfortable, why bother to make other tricks?" Although Yueru has only been married for three years, she is already very familiar with the rules of the pawnshop.From the "internal shortage" of managing the general manager, package, money, and accounts, to the court service at the counter of the "external express" station, the following "intermediate shortage" of writing, clearing, rolling, listing, and apprentices, monthly In addition to the regular salary, there are also "extra money" that can be divided.Precious clothes must be kept carefully. For example, a 1% remuneration of the pawn is collected, which is called "storage box". However, if the redemption does not exceed five days at the time, no additional interest will be calculated, but if it exceeds six days, interest will be paid for two months.In this case, the extra one-month interest will also belong to the partner, which is called "public draw".As for the "pawn rate", one per cent is drawn according to the principal, and the "redemption rate" is three per cent according to the redemption principal. For example, if the principal is paid 100,000 taels of silver this month, and the principal is redeemed for 50,000 taels of silver, there will be one hundred taels of silver. "Dangli", the "redemption percentage" of one hundred and fifty taels of silver.These extra money are summed up in centimeters per month, and the ratio of the amount of income is different. Tang Zishao is the manager, so of course he gets a big portion. The monthly minimum is five or sixty taels, and the maximum is more than a hundred. The life is really affluent.

Tang Zishao naturally regretted it, but, "What has been done has already been done, and it is useless for you to complain." He said, "Now I can only find a way to remedy it. If you want, I will use my brain again." "What use am I willing to do?" "Of course it's useful. As long as you say something, are you willing?" "Where would you be unwilling? Tell me, why is it useful as long as I say yes?" "It's because you have something useful in your body. I just want to ask if you are willing to borrow it and use it? If you are willing, just take it out."

Yueru savored his words carefully for a while, and suddenly realized, she asked with a straight face, "Who do you want me to lend it to?" "Which one else? Of course it is Mr. Hu Da." "Hmph!" Yueru sneered, "I knew you would come up with such a shameless idea!" "Everyone needs face, and trees need bark. How can I be shameless? But I have no choice but to be shameless in front of Mr. Hu Da instead of letting my colleagues scold me for being shameless. Tell me, is my plan wrong?" "Your plan is not wrong. However, you are shameless, and I want face." "This matter, he knows, you know, I know, no fourth person knows, your face will be saved." If Yue Ru remained silent, it was obvious that she agreed.
