After Jin Quan stepped down as Prime Minister, the popularity of the Jin family really dropped a lot.
In the past, the Jin family had guests almost every day, begging for officials, begging for business, begging for money...there was an endless stream.
But now that Jin Quan has retired to the second line, there are immediately fewer guests coming and going.
"It's really easy to rise and retreat, and it's easy to reverse and regain the villain's heart." Jin Minzhi sighed when he saw this.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with this. The tree attracts the wind, and now it's more difficult to keep a low profile." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said.
Official circles are like battlefields, where every knife is to the bone. After all, Jin Quan was old, and he was inferior to the younger generation in terms of skill, shamelessness, and cruelty. The consequence of not going to Lianzhan is to be forced to step down and die after losing all power.
Now that he can safely retreat to the second line, relying on his own shadow, and then protect the Jin family, and live a peaceful life for a few years, it is already a good ending.
…
"Father, I heard from the outside that Mr. Jia and Mr. Chai in our mansion got rich and bought several houses in the capital and hundreds of acres of land outside the city." Xiang Nan then found Jin Quan and said.
"Oh, there is such a thing?" Jin Quan was surprised when he heard it.
Jia Gongping and Chai Xinxin, the two accountants of Jinfu, are old people who have used it for more than ten years. Although the wages are high, they are not enough to buy a few houses in the capital and hundreds of acres of land.
After all, with a few houses and hundreds of acres of land, how can it be done without 20,000 to 30,000 oceans? Therefore, they are likely to steal from themselves and transfer the money from the Jin family to their own pockets.
If this is the case, then it really deserves to die.
Now even the master of the Jin family has started to save money. If there are still two moths left, wouldn't it be all for them to save money.
Immediately, Jin Quan called in the account books to investigate.
At the beginning, no problem was found, and every account was clearly remembered.
But Xiang Nan soon discovered the clue.
It turned out that the account books of the Jin family were printed from the printing bureau, each with 100 pages, and each page was numbered. In order to avoid the matter of backfilling the sun and the moon and inserting the account.
But although Jia Gongping and Chai Kexin did not change the account, they dared to change it. They quietly disassembled the ledger, replaced a few pages, and bound the ledger again.
After such falsification, they made fake accounts in a grand manner, and secretly narrowed down the money.
After a rough estimate, I'm afraid there might not be 50,000 yuan, but they would be stolen by such rats and go to my own home.
…
"It's really courageous. I thought they had followed me for more than ten years, and they were trustworthy old people who cared about themselves, so I handed over the accountant to them. Who would have thought that they would commit scandal?! Fifty thousand yuan, they really How dare you be greedy!" Jin Quan couldn't help gnashing his teeth after receiving Xiang Nan's report.
"Father, you must report to the officials and let them spit out the money." Jin Fengju said angrily.
He is an imposing young master of the Jin family, and he doesn't even have that much money. It's unreasonable that these two accountants are greedy for so much.
"The two of them usually look honest and honest, but they didn't expect to be so treacherous in their hearts. With 50,000 yuan, they won't be afraid of losing their heads!" Jin Hesun said with righteous indignation.
His monthly salary is only a few hundred yuan. Fifty thousand yuan is enough for him to earn for twenty years.
"After all, Lao Qi is smart enough to find them out." Mrs. Jin said with lingering fear, "Master, this time we can't tolerate adultery anymore."
Jin Quan nodded, and then ordered people to arrest Jia Gongping and Chai Xinxin, and take back all the family properties of Jia and Chai.
Fortunately, although he is not the prime minister now, he still has power, so the police are willing to sell his face, and finally get back all the embezzled proceeds of Jia and Chai.
Fortunately, Jia and Chai are worthy of being accountants. They are not only good at corruption, but also good at management. After the money embezzled over the years was invested by them, not only did they not lose money, but they even made a fortune. The Jin family finally did not lose money.
…
The Jin family was encouraged to find out these two moths and recover all the losses.
"It's really thanks to Lao Qi this time, otherwise, I wouldn't know that there is such a big rat at home." Wu Peifang laughed.
"Yes, Lao Qi is really good. Find them in time, otherwise, I don't know how much I will be greedy." Cheng Huichang also nodded.
"They are really hateful. Our young mistresses of the Jin family have two maids per person. Their young mistress has four maids, and they are richer than us. It really makes no sense." Wang Yufen said angrily.
"It's really thanks to Yanxi this time. He didn't remind me, I didn't even know they had such courage." Jin Quan nodded and said, "Fengju, Hesun, Pengzhen, you also often walk outside , Why haven't you received any news about this, what are you so busy with every day?"
Jin Fengju, Jin Hesun, and Jin Pengzhen couldn't help showing embarrassment when they heard this.
"Father, don't blame the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother. I have been walking outside before, and I haven't heard the wind. This time I only received the news by accident." Seeing this, Xiang Nan said quickly.
"En." Jin Quan nodded, "Fengju, Hesun, Pengzhen, Yanxi, you are all married, and you will no longer be children. The future of the Jin family depends on you, and you can't protect your father. How long are you guys.
So in the future, we must learn to take responsibility, and we can no longer live in a muddle. Otherwise, once I'm gone, what will you do? "
"Father, don't say that, we all know."
"Yeah, father, we'll get on with it."
"Father, we all remember what you said."
…
Xiang Nan took the opportunity to discuss with Jin Quan again, and cut half of the servants in Jin's residence.
Since he is no longer the prime minister, the Jin family is no longer the prime minister's office, so there is no need to keep so many servants.
On the one hand, there are not so many guests coming to the door, so there is no need to make such a big show. In addition, after the loss of the prime minister's position, many hidden incomes are gone.
For example, in the past, when a company opened, in order to operate smoothly, it would always send some dry stocks to the Jin family, and the interest would be paid on the shares every month, which was equivalent to paying protection fees.
Now that he is not prime minister, this income will naturally disappear.
Since income has shrunk, expenditure must have shrunk. Eliminate redundant staff, reduce expenses, and reduce unnecessary expenses. Otherwise, you will not be able to make ends meet, and sooner or later you will have nothing to eat.
On the one hand, there is a saying that when you see a cockroach in your house, it is already full of cockroaches. Chai Xinxin and Jia Gongping are by no means special cases, and other servants will inevitably steal from others.
So clearing out a group of people who usually steal, rape, play tricks, guard and steal themselves can be regarded as eliminating hidden dangers for the Jin family.
"Father, if half of the staff is laid off, the monthly expenditure can be reduced by 1,200 yuan." Xiang Nan said to Jin Quan, "And it won't have much impact on the daily life of the Jin family."
