"Fifty or sixty thousand?!"
I asked you to recruit three to five thousand people, but you recruited fifty to sixty thousand for me. You have gathered so many people under the emperor's feet. Do you want to rebel or something?
Fortunately, Princess Changle is here, otherwise Wang Zi'an feels that his best choice now is to run away.
Besides, there are so many people, not to mention the starting salary, even if they eat, I will be destitute!
"To be precise, there are sixty-three thousand, seven hundred and eighty-six people, including—including women, children, and the elderly..."
The more Cheng Ying'er spoke, the lower her voice became, and her head almost drooped.
Wang Zi'an was completely shocked this time.
When we open a coal mine, you actually hire women, children and the elderly!
Those who opened private mines in the previous life did not dare to do this!
"so what?"
Wang Zi'an took a deep breath and calmed down to avoid being knocked down by more terrible news.
"So, so, we don't have enough money on hand..."
Seeing his niece in such embarrassment, Kong Yingda couldn't help but let out a long sigh, shamelessly took over the conversation.
"There's not enough money..."
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but rubbed his eyebrows again.
I thought I was looking for three thick legs, but each one turned out to be more unreliable than the last!
"That's 2,500 guan. Even if you recruit more than 60,000 people, you won't be able to spend it all in just a short while, right?"
Even if there is a food shortage in Chang'an City and prices are soaring, more than two thousand guan is by no means a small amount. Just renting a storefront and feeding people would definitely be too much money to spend in such a short period of time.
"No, it's not two thousand five hundred guan, it's four, four thousand guan - me, I collected two thousand guan..."
Li Lizhi twisted her long little hands in embarrassment.
Wang Zi’an:……
Wang Zi'an almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
What kind of magic operation is this? You secretly increased your investment without notifying the major shareholders?
Are you sure you are here to do business and not to tease me?
"Where did you get so much money?"
I don’t remember that poor guy Li Shimin had so much money.
Wang Zi'an resisted the desire to complain wildly. He pinched his eyebrows feebly again and looked at the cute girl in front of him as if he had made a mistake.
"Aye gave it to me? Aye said, I go out to do things, so I can't lose my dignity - don't get me wrong, I, I'm not greedy? I don't mean to ask for more shares? I'm afraid you will misunderstand and think that everyone is happy anyway." Are you doing something good? Just, I didn’t tell you..."
Wang Zi’an:……
Don't you want more shares? Your father must want more shares, otherwise he would be so kind as to throw two thousand coins to you for fun. Besides, are we doing business? We are really not doing good things...
Girl? If you don't tell me, you're just trying to trick me!
Am I, Wang Zi'an, such a stingy person?
"Don't do it? Business is business, one code equals one code! You have an extra 1,500 guan? Round up? Even if you get 2,000 guan? I will give you an extra 20% of the shares!"
Aren’t you afraid that you have ideas? I’m afraid that you don’t have ideas!
The emperor wants shares? That is simply great!
Wang Zi'an made the decision without even thinking about it.
Kong Yingda? Cheng Ying'er:...
Li Lizhi's pretty face turned red and she waved her little hands in panic.
"I'm not, I didn't? I really didn't..."
"I know, but girl? Your kind heart has touched me. A kind girl like you should be rewarded - okay, don't say anything. Besides, you are rejecting my kindness!"
Is that so?
Li Lizhi nodded confusedly, that's okay.
Kong Yingda twirled his beard, thoughtfully, while Cheng Ying'er glanced at Wang Zi'an with some suspicion. Could this scumbag be taking the opportunity to please his beautiful sister?
He is really willing to spend money to please other women!
snort!
After taking care of Li Shimin behind Princess Changle, Wang Zi'an felt a lot more at ease, but his brows furrowed even more tightly.
"Logically speaking, even if there are 60,000 people, 4,000 guans are enough to support them for a period of time, right? Which shopkeeper you found is responsible for this? Could it be that he encountered a mole and was tricked?"
"Ahem, I-I'm responsible..."
Cheng Ying'er's voice became lower and lower as she spoke, and she pulled out a ledger from her sleeve with some guilt and pushed it over gently.
"The flowers are all here, see for yourself..."
You really need to take a good look at this!
If you are beautiful, you must be beautiful. If you are looking for thighs, you must be looking for thighs. But when we work together to do business, we have to calculate the accounts clearly, otherwise there is no need to do this business as a partnership. It would be the best if we break up, but there will be a lot of trouble in the future.
As soon as he got the account book, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but frown slightly.
The densely packed Chinese characters on the paper made him feel a little dizzy, and he frowned. After reading two pages, he couldn't stand it anymore. He simply got up and walked to the desk, made a simple form, and started counting again.
The three of them, Kong Yingda, were not in much mood to eat or drink after the delicious food. They glanced at Wang Zi'an from time to time.
It was fine at first, but soon they discovered that Wang Zi'an's speed at flipping through the ledger had changed. He basically glanced twice at each page and simply drew two strokes on a piece of paper and flipped it over. At that speed, I am afraid that even the people in the Account Department who specialize in auditing the account books are not as good as that.
Eventually, the three of them couldn't bear it anymore and simply stood up and gathered around.
Then, they discovered that Prince An drew a simple table on a piece of paper, and then every time he looked at a page of the account book, he would make some weird symbols on it. They couldn't understand what he was doing at all. .
Wang Zi'an couldn't laugh or cry while counting. In fact, he basically understood why the money was not enough after counting less than one-third.
This is not a business bill, this is a charity bill!
In this account, in addition to a large amount of food purchase expenses, there are also many expenses for cold-proof clothing and tents. What is even more exaggerated is that there are a lot of expenses for medicine, medical treatment, and even children's supplies. And The amount is not low!
We are a coal trading company, not a charitable foundation.
There are no major discrepancies in the accounts, but the expenses are a bit confusing.
Wang Zi'an shook the bill he had calculated in his hand and looked at Cheng Ying'er and Kong Yingda with a wry smile.
"With this kind of technique, let alone four thousand strings, even if there are another four thousand strings, I'm afraid I won't be able to sustain it for long..."
"Ahem, I didn't expect this to happen..."
Kong Yingda laughed a few times, carefully glanced at Wang Zi'an's expression, then took over the topic and added.
"Actually, the most troublesome problem now is not here..."
Wang Zi’an:……
Isn’t this the most troublesome problem?
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but take a deep breath and barely resisted the urge to lift the table and hit someone. What kind of magical teammates have I found?
"Tell me, what on earth can I withstand?"
