Chapter 452 Who to talk to
Mali wanted to ask Goudan how it was calculated, but shopkeeper Sun directly admitted it.
"I think I'm not mean to you. The cloth shop is entrusted to you to manage. I seldom ask. Is this how you repay me?" Ma Li asked.
Shopkeeper Sun has been with him for many years, and his wages are higher than other shopkeepers.
Who knew that he was so dissatisfied that he embezzled nearly [-] crowns in one year.
You must know that the annual profit of Mashibuzhuang is only about [-] guan.
In other words, one-third of them were embezzled by Shopkeeper Sun.
Before the profit decreased, shopkeeper Sun found various reasons to shirk it, but the fabric needed every month was the same as before.
It would be strange if there were no ghosts.
"Boss, this old slave owed money at the casino. There was nothing I could do. I was obsessed with it, so I did such a thing. I hope the boss will forgive this old slave for the sake of my hard work for so many years." Shopkeeper Sun begged for mercy. road.
He didn't lie about this. He lost all his family savings in the casino last year and borrowed thirty pennies from the casino.
In ancient times, borrowing money paid attention to nine outs and thirteen returns.
He borrowed 27 guan, and got only 39 guan, but after the one-month deadline, he needs to pay back [-] guan.
The borrowed money was quickly lost, and his wages, let alone the repayment, were not enough for the interest.
The casino threatened him that if he couldn't pay back the money, his family members would be taken away and sold.
This looks very incredible in later generations.
But in ancient times, people paid attention to killing people and paying debts.
Although it is said to arrest people directly, the government will intervene.
But those who owed money did not dare to report to the officials.
It is stipulated in the "Tang Law Shuyi": "If you violate the contract and do not pay more than one piece, the violation will be [-] days on the [-]th day, and the [-]st level will be added on the [-]th day. A third class will be added to Baibai, and each order will be compensated."
That is to say, if the money you owe reaches the price of a piece of cloth, if you don’t pay it back within 20 days, you will be beaten 20 times by Vitex, and if you don’t pay it back within 40 days, you will be beaten 60 times.If the amount of money you owe is huge, reaching the value of 30 bolts of cloth, then the crime will be added to the first class, and if it reaches the value of 100 bolts of cloth, then the crime will be added to the second class.Those who have money but still refuse to repay within one year will be sentenced to "one year of apprenticeship", which means that they will be imprisoned for one year.
What if there is no money to pay?The law of the Tang Dynasty added to this: the debt must be paid off through unpaid labor to the creditor until it is paid off.
Shopkeeper Sun had no choice but to conspire with Mr. Accountant to embezzle from Buzhuang.
But the embezzled money needs to be shared with the accountant, and it is not enough for him to repay the debt. He can only repay the interest first.
As a result, he got deeper and deeper, leading to more and more corruption, which aroused Ma Li's suspicion.
"Forgive you once? I trust you so much, you treat me like this? You want me to forgive you? Come and report directly to the official." Ma Li said.
"No, boss!" Shopkeeper Sun begged.
Corruption is tantamount to stealing, and stealing is a serious crime.
According to the law, he embezzled nearly [-] crowns, which must be a capital offense.
Ma Li ignored shopkeeper Sun, and said to the boys: "Catch him and send him to the government."
It's not that he is cruel, if he forgives Shopkeeper Sun once this time, other shopkeepers will follow suit in the future.
"Boss, please forgive me!"
The two waiters ignored shopkeeper Sun's call and carried him away directly.
Ma Li asked someone to get a consistent amount of money, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhou, this is the reward I promised you."
"Thank you!" Shen Yue'e took the money, pulled the dog's egg and was about to leave.
"Wait," Marie called.
Shen Yue'e quickly put down the money and said, "We didn't help much, so I don't need the money."
She thought Ma Li had repented and wanted the money back.
Seeing that she misunderstood, Ma Li smiled and said: "Madam Zhou misunderstood, I would like to ask, can little brother Zhou come to me as the accountant."
Shen Yue'e shook her head and said, "He is still young and still needs to study, so he has no time."
"That would be a pity." Ma Li said to Xiao Er, "Bring two better bolts of fabric."
Xiao Er nodded, and after a while, brought two pieces of fabric over.
"Mrs. Zhou, little brother Zhou has helped me a lot. This is some kindness." Ma Li said.
Shen Yue'e quickly refused: "No need, you have already given us the consistent money."
"You're welcome, I've missed you for so long, take it." Ma Li couldn't push it into Shen Yue'e's arms.
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Shen Yue'e took the money, cloth and dog eggs and left the cloth shop.
"It's a pity." Ma Li watched them leave with some regret.
But he also knew that Goudan had such talent at such a young age, it was simply not something he could keep.
Shen Yuee and Goudan carried the things they bought on their backs and walked outside Chang'an City.
Along the way, Shen Yue'e was a little at a loss.
She had agreed to let Goudan study before, but she was running to reduce the rent.
But Goudan has only been studying for half a year. Not only has the family's rent been reduced, but she has also won two consecutive bonuses from the college.
The imperial court announced that to participate in the imperial examination, there will be rewards for children and scholars who pass the exam, and they can even become officials if they pass the exam.
But for ordinary people, these are a bit out of reach.
However, Goudan got three pennies after studying for half a year. Although two of them were rewarded by the academy, she witnessed the one just now.
This is still a book that I have read for half a year. If I study for a few more years, becoming an official does not seem out of reach.
Being an official is too tempting for ordinary people.
"Goudan, you must study hard in the future, do you understand?" Shen Yue'e said.
"Mother, I understand!" Goudan nodded solemnly.
He works hard to study, on the one hand because he likes it, and on the other hand, he wants to change the living conditions at home.
The children of poor families are in charge early.
Goudan's family is poorer than other families, so they are naturally more sensible.
The West Market is already lively, with a huge flow of people.
Shopkeeper Sun was escorted to an official, which aroused the curiosity of many people.
After a little inquiring, I understood the reason.
An eight or nine-year-old child is not only literate, but also can calculate accounts, which has been praised by many people.
And the more it spreads, the more mysterious it becomes. Many people call Goudan a child prodigy.
At the same time as Goudan, Boyuan Academy is also famous.
Many people began to inquire about Boyuan Academy.
Many people were moved when they knew that Boyuan Academy not only had very cheap tuition fees, but also offered rewards for good study.
They ran to the college to inquire about admissions.
Although it's already a holiday, there are still some teachers in the academy.
In the beginning, those teachers seriously answered the questions of the people who came to the door, but when there were more and more people, they were overwhelmed, so they had to make people close the door.
……
"You mean that Goudan helped people settle accounts, which greatly increased the reputation of our college, and many people wanted to send their children to study?" Lin Xuan asked incredulously.
Xu Geng nodded, but he was also a little speechless.
Generally, the reputation of a college has increased greatly because the college has very famous teachers, or has produced incomparable talents.
But Boyuan Academy was newly built not long ago, and these conditions are not taken into account. Who knew that Goudan became famous because of helping people to settle accounts.
Who's to make sense of this?
"This is a good thing. It's a reward for someone to send five pennies to Goudan's family." Lin Xuan said.
"Reward?" Xu Geng looked at Lin Xuan with some doubts.
He came to Lin Xuan to see if he could solve the problem of a large number of people besieging the academy. Who knew that Lin Xuan would reward Goudan, which made him a little confused.
"The dog egg has greatly increased the reputation of our college, shouldn't it be rewarded?" Lin Xuan said.
