    When Shi Hao saw so many officers and soldiers surrounding Sihai Bank, he felt a little nervous and said to Fang Jinshi: "This this is a bit too much."

    Fang Jinshi said: "In extraordinary times, there should be extraordinary measures." He and other shopkeepers were all standing in the middle of the yard. This Sihai Qianzhuang had a big business and there were many people inside, and there was a large area in the big yard.

    Fang Jinshi turned back to Shi Hao and said, "Where are the people you are looking for? Get them over quickly."

    Shi Hao asked in confusion: "Who am I looking for?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "Didn't I ask you to find some people who can read and write? Let them come over quickly." Shi Hao then remembered and hurriedly went to find those people by himself.

    Fang Jinshi walked up to the guys and asked the officers and soldiers to bring a table. He climbed on the table and shouted to the people below: "Brothers and shopkeepers, don't panic. Our Sihai Bank has not been open for a long time. Outside,  There are rumors that our bank's accounts are in disarray and corruption is rampant. After such a long time, who dares to do business with our bank? Who dares to put his own money in our bank and lend us to do business? From now on, it is necessary to thoroughly  It will also be of great benefit to our Sihai Bank to make an inventory of the accounts of our Sihai Bank so that the partners who do business with me will have confidence. We will also take this opportunity to clean out the moths in our bank. Those who are righteous are the ones who are clean.  Self-Qing, don¡¯t panic, everyone, go and take out your account books one by one."

    After he said this, he immediately ordered the officers and soldiers to escort the shopkeeper to his counter, organize his account books, and bring them to the front. No one would be spared during this search.

    Shi Hao quickly found the first group of people who could read and write. Fang Jinshi asked these people to manually copy a copy of the shopkeeper's account book. After copying, they had to sign and cross for verification. This should be equivalent to a copy of the account book.

    The ones with few accounts were copied in Sihai Bank. The ones with too many accounts were taken to the teahouse where he had brought new dishes and copied slowly. After listening to his arrangement, Shi Hao realized that he was looking for scholars and that teahouse to make copies.  What's the use?

    Just as the book copying started, officers and soldiers came to report that there was a rich shopkeeper outside who was clamoring to rush in. Fang Jinshi said calmly: "Ignore him, if he really dares to do something, find a room and lock him up."  "

    The officers and soldiers went with the order, and Fang Jinshi asked people to continue. Many officers and soldiers came and guarded the door tightly. Ren Fu Zhirong shouted until his throat was broken, but no one paid attention to him. The officers and soldiers were no better than ordinary people. If you want to  If you really use force, the glory of wealth really needs to be carefully weighed.

    Fang Jinshi was sitting at the door of the main hall, watching the shopkeepers go in one by one to get their own account books and come out. There were few disobedient ones, and they were escorted by the officers and soldiers, who rummaged through the boxes and took out all the books with names.

    Shi Hao said worriedly: "If you treat these shopkeepers like this, I'm afraid they will give up and stop doing it. What should I do?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "A top-level shopkeeper with a monthly salary of eighty guan is already on par with a ninth-grade official. How can they find such wages outside this Sihai Bank? Even if they are  If I don¡¯t do it, I won¡¯t believe that I can¡¯t find anyone.¡±

    Shi Hao held back what he wanted to say, and Fang Jinshi added: "As the ancients said when doing things, the first thing is not to do it, and the second thing is not to stop. Nothing can be done if you look forward and backward. Nowadays, opportunities are rare, and opportunities are fleeting. I  Why do you have to rush back in a hurry? When Brother Zhao slows down, someone from the Cai family will give you some more advice. Think about the consequences of Sihai Company, whether it is a tea house or a bank. I will be the first to make it happen.  It¡¯s a fact that even if one day Zhao Guan¡¯s family becomes weak, he will still consider how to get rid of me.¡±

    Fang Jinshi rarely spoke to Shi Hao so many words at once, and in such a serious tone. Shi Hao lowered his head and thought about his words carefully. At this time, an officer and soldier came in again and said to Fang Jinshi: "That man named Fu  I have asked someone from the government to come over and I must see you outside the door."

    Fang Jinshi frowned slightly and said, "I've already said hello to Cai Ang. What yamen are you from?"

    The officer and soldier said: "They said they were from the Huaidong Transfer Envoy Yamen."

    Fang Jinshi said: "This rich man is so well-connected, he even invited the transfer envoy to the Yamen, and he did it so quickly." Shi Hao looked up at Fang Jinshi to see his decision, Fang Jinshi pondered for a moment and said: "Let them come in  .¡±

    The officer and soldier turned around and went out. Not long after, they heard Fu Zhirong's voice loudly: "It's simply lawless. There are no court laws, and Mr. Meng Da is not taken seriously."

    While talking, Fu Zhirong led a few people in. He walked to the corridor under the courtyard and saw a birdcage hanging with a blackbird in it. Fu Zhirong was angry and said  He punched out, beating the birdcage to pieces and rolling on the ground.

    Fang Jinshi said coldly: "Shopkeeper Fu is so big."?Fire.  "

    Fu Zhirong could no longer remain calm and rushed forward: "Fang, what do you want?"

    Fang Jinshi was about to speak when Sun Delai appeared from behind Fu Zhirong. He was the chief steward of Sihai Merchant Company. Fu Zhirong summoned him in desperation, followed by two petty officials from the Huaidong Road Transfer Envoy Yamen.

    Sun De stepped forward and gave Fang Jinshi a slight salute: "Young Master Fang, you what are you doing?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "I heard rumors outside that our bank's accounts are in chaos, that there is collusion between internal and external parties to embezzle money, and that there are people who are not worth their salt and do private work for free. I came here to check the accounts."

    Sun De said: "Young Master Fang is doing his best for the good of the bank. There is nothing wrong with that. Butdoes Mr. Meng Da know?"

    Fu Zhirong interjected: "You can investigate this nonsense if you want. Have you ever said hello to Mr. Meng Da?"

    Fang Jinshi ignored him and asked Sun De, "Where is Mr. Meng Da?"

    Sun De said: "Mr. Meng Da has gone to Yongzhou Prefecture and is not in Pingjiang. I have sent someone to deliver a letter to him."

    Fang Jinshi uttered an ooh and said: "Open your mouth, Mr. Meng Da, and shut your mouth, Mr. Meng Da. It can be seen that among the merchants in the world, only Mr. Meng Da is known, but not our young master."

    Sun De said: "Sihai Company is originally headed by Mr. Meng Da, with the young master as the assistant. We have to consider the matter of auditing the accounts in the long run and wait for Mr. Meng Da to come back before making any plans. Now that the young master has allowed so many officers and soldiers to come, it will be detrimental."  The reputation of Sihai Company is really inappropriate.¡±

    Fang Jinshi said: "Even Manager Sun taught me a lesson."

    Sun De said sternly: "Don't dare, what Sun said is all the truth. Please think about it more carefully, young master."

    Fang Jinshi stopped paying attention to him and said to the two junior officials behind him: "You two, do the transfer officials have to get involved in the affairs of Prince Yun's Mansion and the Prince Consort's Mansion?"

    What he said was too big. The power of the two princes was too great. How dare the little Huaidong Road transfer envoy dare to offend him, not to mention that now King Yun has also been promoted to an official. The two petty officials looked at each other.  At a glance, a person walked forward and bowed to Fang Jinshi and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the transfer agent's yamen and the bank have always exchanged money. Shangfeng just sent me and me to take a routine look."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Go back and tell you that everything is fine at the bank. You two can go back."

    The two officials from the transfer envoy's yamen were eager to join in, so they immediately turned around and left. Fu Zhirong shouted twice, and the two of them went straight back without looking back.

    Fu Zhirong turned around and asked Fang Jinshi, "What do you want?"

    Fang Jinshi said disdainfully: "With a fierce appearance but a soft heart, he is like a villain, and he is like a thief." He even used "The Analects of Confucius" to drop his book bag, and even Shi Hao on the side felt that his knowledge had greatly improved.  .

    Naturally, he didn't know that Fang Jinshi had learned these words from Huang Jinmian. They were having fun in the boudoir. Huang Jinmian used these words to tease him. Fang Jinshi ignored Fu Zhirong and said to Sun De, "Since Mr. Sun also said that all over the world  The company is headed by Mr. Meng Da and I am the auxiliary. Since Mr. Meng Da is not here at this time, I should be considered the boss. I can investigate whenever I want, how I want and when I want to. Do I still need to report to Manager Sun for details?  ?¡±

    Sun De choked and was speechless. Fu Zhirong shouted loudly: "Unless Mr. Meng Da checks it himself, who dares to check my accounts."

    Fang Jinshi said tit for tat: "Even if Cai Meng comes today, I will still investigate."

    Fu Zhirong said: "You dare!"

    Fang Jinshi said calmly: "Do you dare me? They have all handed over their accounts. Your rich shopkeeper should also have account books, so hand them over too."

    Fu Zhirong said: "You are not worthy of looking at my account books."

    Fang Jinshi didn't want to waste any more words with him, so he went to find an ax in the hands of the officers and soldiers and carried it. He went to the Yaju where Fu Zhirong lived on the second floor. He had been here when Ji Changan was in charge of Sihai Bank and knew some special reasons.  The account books kept by the shopkeeper of the bank were placed in a cabinet in this room. Fu Zhirong followed him to the second floor and stood in front of him and said, "What do you want to do?"

    Fang Jinshi smiled contemptuously and said to Wang Gui and several officers who followed him: "Pull him away."

    Several people stepped forward and pulled Fu Zhirong aside. Fang Jinshi raised his sharp ax and slashed at the locked wooden cabinet several times, breaking the cabinet into pieces. Then he threw the ax away and said to several officers and soldiers.  : "Can you please carry this cabinet away together?"

    Several officers and soldiers came forward, carried the cabinet containing the account books downstairs, loaded it directly into a carriage, and sent it to the teahouse where he ordered it.

    Fu Zhirong said bitterly: "Fang, you will regret what you did today."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Have you ever regretted treating me like this before?"

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Rong Rong was at a loss for words for a long time. Fang Jinshi walked downstairs and stood in front of everyone and said: "Fellow shopkeepers, if any of you has finished copying the account books, you can take the account books and start working tomorrow, okay?  The copying should be done until it is finished. If someone doesn¡¯t want to do it" He turned back to Shi Hao and said, "Find someone to write down the name. Those with clean accounts will be paid, and those with problems with the accounts will be pursued to the end."

    Sun De did not dare to speak forcefully at this time, and said to Fang Jinshi: "Young Master, we are all brothers, why should we create such a deadlock? If you have anything to say, you can talk."

    Fang Jinshi said: "You treated me like this before, did you ever think that I was your brother?"

    Sun De had nothing to say. He was angry and depressed and wanted to go back. After taking two steps, he turned back to Fang Jinshi and said, "Is Young Master Fang planning to fight Mr. Meng Da to the bitter end?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "I have to ask Mr. Meng Da if he wants to give me back what I deserve."

    Sun De said no more and turned around to go out. Fu Zhirong also wanted to follow, but Fang Jinshi shouted: "You are not allowed to leave."

    Fu Zhirong stopped and said, "What do you want to do?"

    A naughty yet innocent smile suddenly appeared on Fang Jinshi's face. He walked up to Fu Zhirong with a grin and said something shocking: "You have been double-regulated." No one knew what this meant except him.  .
