Zhang Xiang knew that Su Hao was determined to talk to him about this topic. He said it so blatantly, and there were only two possibilities. One was to investigate him, and the other was to share the stolen goods with him. What happened today,
There is absolutely no possibility of being good.
Want to investigate me? Zhang Xiang sneered in his heart, aren't you afraid of something going wrong with the river? As for wanting to share the spoils, well, I admit that I have paid too little to the principal in the past six months, a thousand taels, or even...
I can take out two thousand taels. If you want more, let's fight to the death together.
Having made up his mind, he raised his head, with a calm look on his face, and said to Su Hao:
"Mr. Su, some of the rumors from outside cannot be taken seriously. In the past few years in Huai'an, I have partnered with others to do small businesses, and indeed I have made a little money. But when it comes to tens of thousands of private households, I'm afraid the rumors are not true.
Really?"
"Oh? It's the money earned from small business. I don't know what kind of business Zhang Dianli does. Can I also buy a share?" Su Hao asked.
Zhang Xiang said: "This is a private matter of a villain, so you don't have to ask about it, right?"
Su Hao said: "I heard that Baishi Fabric Co., Ltd. in Huai'an Nancheng has Zhang Dianli's shares in it. Is this possible?"
Zhang Xiang said: "Since Master Su knows, why bother to ask more questions?"
Su Hao said: "Although I know that Zhang Dianli has shares in Baishi Fabric Co., I don't know how much the share capital is and how much the dividends will be, so I want to ask Zhang Dianli about it. If the profits are good, what's the harm in buying a share?
"
"I apologize for the inconvenience of making this clear." Zhang Xiang bit his tongue tightly. Since he had made up his mind to fight Su Hao until death, he didn't care whether he offended Su Hao or not.
Su Hao didn't mean to be angry. He still kept asking questions. After asking Zhang Xiang, he asked Zhang Guanlian and Li Shibo. Unconsciously, they chatted for more than an hour. This made Zhang Xiang and others feel puzzled.
What's strange is that many of the questions Su Hao asked were aggressive, but when he refused to answer or even responded maliciously, Su Hao didn't get angry and moved on to other questions after saying a few words.
It seems that this young man is still young and thinks that he can blackmail him after getting some information from his subordinates. However, in fact, he has no real evidence and lacks confidence, so he keeps hitting him with hammers and sticks.
Instead of attracting people, he also alerted the snake... Zhang Xiang secretly made a conclusion for Su Hao in his heart, and his courage gradually recovered.
At this moment, a man dressed as a Taoist priest came in from outside, came to Su Hao, put his mouth to his ear and said something. Su Hao nodded and said: "Let them come in."
Chen Guanyu, a veteran, said hello to the outside, and Juren Zhou Ruyu and a young man dressed as a scribe came in with some brochures in their arms. They all walked to Su Hao, opened the brochures, and whispered to Su Hao.
Su Hao gestured with his hand, and several people walked aside and sat down. Among them, after the young scribe sat down, he pulled out an abacus from somewhere and started to beep and click, without knowing he was calculating.
What account? However, the sound of his abacus was not loud, and it did not affect the conversation of everyone in the hall.
"Zhang Xiang, you said just now that you have shares in Baishi Fabric Co., is that true?" Su Hao asked.
Zhang Xiang thought to himself, isn't this the question Su Hao asked just now? Did these new people provide him with any new materials? He didn't know Su Hao's intention, so he just nodded slightly and silently acquiesced.
Already.
Su Hao picked up a book and read: "Zhang Xiang, the third largest shareholder of Baishi Fabric Co., Ltd., with a share capital of 200 taels, accounting for 20% of the shares. The time of investment was in April of the 13th year of Wanli. Since the investment, a total of dividends have been distributed
1,485 taels, 7 cents, and 3 cents…is this amount true?”
"How did you learn about it?" Zhang Xiang's eyes widened. This was highly confidential information. How did Su Hao know about it? Could it be that the boss of Baishi Fabrics told Su Hao? That shouldn't be the case.
"The total share capital of Baishi Fabric Co., Ltd. is 2,000 taels. You accounted for 2.70% of the shares with 200 taels. Can you tell me the reason?" Su Hao asked.
Zhang Xiang knew that denying it was useless, so he could only insist: "This is a personal relationship between me and Boss Lu. Do you have any control over how many shares he is willing to give me?"
"Of course we can." Su Hao said, "Bai Shi Fabric Co., Ltd. had nothing to do with the river project before. Since you became a shareholder, He Dao has purchased thousands of taels of uniforms, tents, bags, etc. from Bai Shi Fabric Co. every year.
According to our rough calculation of the prices of 40 transactions, the average profit is..."
At this point, he turned his head to the young scribe. The young scribe smiled slightly, looked at the paper in front of him, and said loudly: "Sir, my calculation result is that the average profit is 84%, which is 84% higher than the market price."
The price is more than twice as expensive.”
Zhang Xiang fell into an inexplicable fear and didn't even notice that the scribe's voice was clearly female. In fact, it didn't matter whether the scribe was a man or a woman. The reason for his fear was that Su Hao actually used
With the account books of Baishi Cloth Store, we can even restore every purchase on the river.
"Little man... I don't know what the adults are talking about. How can a little man know what Hedao buys from Baishi Fabrics? Besides, isn't it normal for Hedao to buy something from which merchant?" Zhang Xiang resisted stubbornly in the corner.
.
"In October of the 14th year of Wanli, the river project purchased stones from Taiwen Stone Company for a total amount of 1,489 taels. Ning Taisong, the owner of Taiwen Stone Company, admitted that he sent you 300 taels of filial silver for this purpose. Is this true?" Su Hao continued to ask.
"The villain doesn't know this."
"In August of the 15th year of Wanli, the purchase price of tools such as spades and pickaxes was 820 taels, and you received a rebate of 240 taels. Is this happening?"
"The villain doesn't know."
"In January of the 16th year of Wanli, the Zhongwu section of the river was renovated, and 170,000 people were recruited for a day. Each person's daily labor and food silver was 7 cents and 5 cents. You collected an average of 1.20 percent of the fire cost from each person's head, totaling 1,530 taels.
Is there any such thing?"
"This..." At this point, Zhang Xiang was already horrified. Of course, there are things about collecting fire expenses, but the fire expenses come from every laborer. Some people work long hours and pay more, and some
People work short hours and pay less, so the proportion of fire cost varies from half to 20% depending on the situation. Even Zhang Xiang himself does not know that the average proportion of fire cost is 1.20%. As for 1,530 taels
He has never calculated this number in detail, but his impression is that it is about the same number.
Which account book did the other party have in order to calculate such a secret and confusing account? Zhang Xiang was completely confused. In his opinion, if Su Hao's data was obtained from the slave laborers, the data of tens of thousands of people
Could it be that Su Hao could ask about the team of slaves one by one? Mathematical statistics were completely unimaginable to Zhang Xiang. How could he have imagined that someone could make a sufficient survey by just investigating a small number of slaves?
What about estimates of accuracy?
"No, no, Master Su, who are you and why do you know so many secrets?" Zhang Xiang asked.
Su Hao said: "I'm sorry, after I took office, because you didn't cooperate with me very much, I made me angry. So, I sent someone to secretly... take care of your affairs. Today
In the morning, after I invited you all here, the investigation team under my command went to your houses and the business houses where you had money transactions, and took out some account books. By the way, I also returned
I forgot to introduce you to you, this girl is Ms. Cheng, the chief accountant under my command. Her accounting skills are as good as 20 accountants."
Having said this, Su Hao made a gesture to the scribe. Cheng Yi, who was pretending to be a scribe, turned red and glared at Su Hao fiercely when no one was paying attention.
Zhang Xiang and others didn't pay attention to Miss Cheng and Miss Li. They all focused on what Su Hao said, "Come to your house... for a walk." They suddenly understood why Su Hao had said so much to them just now.
Nonsense, the original purpose was to hold them back so that his men could go to their homes to collect evidence.
"Master Su, how dare you send troops to break into this villain's house!" Zhang Xiang asked with red eyes.
"This is not trespassing, but an order to search!" Su Hao glared, "I was authorized by the River Governor's Mansion and was ordered to search for corrupt officials. I really don't know if I don't search. I was shocked when I checked.
Zhang Xiang, you are a small pian, your annual salary is only 6 taels of silver, and you have more than 6,000 taels of silver at home, including gold, jewelry, and antiques, all of which are worth no less than 20,000 taels.
The common people scrimped on food and clothing, saving money to build rivers, in order to maintain safety. But you cut corners, shoddy materials, and deducted labor, food, and silver from the laborers. In less than 10 years, everyone reaped tens of thousands of taels of benefits.
!Zhang Xiang, Zhang Guanlian, Li Shibo, how many times do you think you should be punished before you can be worthy of the people of this world!"
"Who do you think you are? There are so many people in the world who are corrupt, have you finished checking them?" Zhang Xiang jumped up.
"Be honest!" Xiong Minfan, the new captain of the soldiers who was standing aside, slapped Zhang Xiang on the shoulder and firmly slapped him back on the stool to sit down.
Zhang Guanlian and Li Shibo were intimidated by Su Hao's bastard spirit. They all knelt down and kowtowed: "Master Su, please spare my life! I am willing to give up all my family wealth, and beg Master Su to spare my life!"
"
"Trash!" Zhang Xiang was held down by Xiong Min and couldn't stand up, but he could still curse: "Old Zhang, Old Li, you haven't seen it. This pretty boy has already planned to deal with us. At this time, we
Is there any use in begging him? Don’t forget, we still have a backup plan, there’s nothing he can do to us!”
"Ho ho, there's still a back-up move. Zhang Dianli, tell me what your back-up move is." Su Hao sat steadily and asked Zhang Xiang.
Zhang Xiang smiled coldly and said, "Do you think I will tell you?"
"Tough enough, he is a man." Su Hao stood up with a smile, walked up to Zhang Xiang, and looked down at him, as if a cat was playing with a mouse.
"Su, I admit that you are ruthless, but I, Mr. Zhang, have not thought about this day. I have already prepared for it. Since you have found out my family property, you can take half of it and hand it over to the public."
No matter whether you, Mr. Su, stay here, my brother will never let out a word. Our only condition is: leave a way for our brother to survive. If not, we will fight for our lives, and there will be no good results for you!
" Zhang Xiang said solemnly. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
