Chapter 697 This Is The Account Book For Your Inspection!
"Yes!" After Li Fu said this, he led Su Ran.
Appearing quietly in a dilapidated courtyard.
This courtyard is the residence of the owner of the grain store.
At this time, the boss, his wife and daughter were tied up, gagged and thrown to the ground.
Su Ran glanced around.
The yard was filled with bags of grain, weighing 20 million kilograms.
"Sir, there are 200,000 kilograms of grain here, with a total value of 83,000 taels. Please take a look!"
Li Fu handed over the banknote with "one, three, three" with both hands.
"This is two hundred thousand taels, click on it."
Su Ran handed over a silver ingot.
Li Fu counted the coins carefully, and after confirming that they were correct, he put the silver ingots into his cuffs.
He took out a secret letter from the other side and said respectfully:
"Sir, this is the account book. Please take a look at it!"
Su Ran opened it and saw that the account books had detailed records.
Every stroke is clear, including not only the entry and exit accounts of the grain store,
The shopkeeper of the grain store keeps a clear record of registration, items sold in the grain store, and grain storage.
Even the clerks in the grain store and even their salary expenses are clearly written down.
Su Ran sighed secretly in his heart, the official administration in ancient times was really too harsh.
However, he did not blame Li Fu for being greedy.
After all, once these imperial officials are deposed.
The salaries of these people will definitely be reduced accordingly.
It won't be like it was in history.
The monthly salary received is hundreds of taels of silver.
In this case, they are willing to take risks and hoard food.
"Okay, I've brought the food here. I'll take my leave first."
Su Ran collected the account books and prepared to leave.
"Sir, I have a word of advice."
Li Fu stopped in front of Su Ran and whispered:
"Although you have become an imperial envoy now, you still need to be careful and don't get burned by being eager for success."
This is a friendly reminder.
When Su Ran heard this, her heart trembled, she took a serious look at Li Fu, nodded and said:
"I have written it down. Thank you, Butler Li, for reminding me."
Li Fu bowed slightly and stepped aside.
Su Ran quickly walked out of the granary.
"I hope I don't cause any trouble."
After walking out of the granary, Lihe said mockingly.
The next day, Su Ran got up early.
He first went to the county school to teach recruit training, and then had breakfast.
Putting on his brocade robe, he took a few guards and headed towards Nanling City.
He galloped all the way and soon arrived outside Nanling City.
The gate of Nanling City is heavily guarded.
A group of soldiers held long spears and had sharp eyes.
He watched the people coming and going with a solemn expression.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
When Su Ran approached the city wall, a soldier yelled.
"According to the Holy Order, check the food.
Su Ran said lightly.
Hearing the word 'Oracle', the guards on the city wall suddenly became nervous.
"Take it!"
The soldier no longer blocked him, but took the initiative to send an imperial edict.
Su Ran took the imperial edict and unfolded it to take a look.
I saw the imperial edict saying:
"I want to personally conquer Lingnan, and I have specially ordered the imperial envoy Su Ran to be responsible for escorting the food and grass. We will set off immediately! This is it."
“So this is why the emperor asked me to be the imperial envoy.
Su Ran said secretly.
Su Ran raised her head and walked forward.
Just when he reached the city gate, he suddenly stopped. 0.9
I saw a burly young warrior wearing armor checking the city tax.
Su Ran was confused: "Huh? What's going on? Is someone coming to grab food?"
He immediately walked forward quickly and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
"My name is Yang Ji, and I'm here to inspect the grain on the emperor's order."
The young warrior said arrogantly, his attitude was very bad, and his tone became more arrogant and domineering. .
