Li Longji and his wife stood to the side and watched as they soaked the eggs, boiled the water, and mixed the mud.
"Brother Yi, this is much more troublesome than the spiced tea egg." Li Longji thought of the price.
"This can't be used to make a lot of money. Otherwise, we won't be able to keep it a secret." Li Yi waved his hand and explained the situation.
"Are you from the Imperial Plantation?"
"No."
"If you don't want to make money, then don't." Li Longji only felt that Zhuangzi should make more money by selling and selling.
The few of them continued to walk inside. There was a palace inside that was prepared for the emperor at any time, but no one had ever lived there.
There was one person missing from the group, He Yan.
At this time, He Yan had just contacted Li Longji's people in Zhuangzi. After giving some instructions, the few of them left Zhuangzi and rode back to the city.
Li Longji, who was walking while watching, showed a satisfied smile.
"Compared to other Zhuangzi, the Imperial Plantation is still not bad!" Li Longji said.
"This year is indeed better than the previous years." Li Yi agreed.
Li Longji was surprised: "In other years, the Zhuangzi's people were not like this?"
He was talking about the clothes and the expression. The people who worked in the Imperial Plantation wore patched clothes, and the people who did not work wore new clothes.
He felt that the Imperial Plantation was better than others. Of course, it was not as good as the Li Family's people in Zhuangzi.
"Call someone over." Empress Wang was straightforward.
The palace maid went to find a woman. The woman's hair was tied up with a silver hairpin. There were tassels at the back of the hairpin that swayed as she walked.
"Is the noble asking a question?" The woman first looked at Li Yi and then at Empress Wang.
"Your hairpin is not bad. You are also beautiful. It suits you." Empress Wang praised first.
"It's all thanks to Li Dongzhu. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the money to tidy myself up, let alone buy a hairpin." The woman raised her face.
"Did you have a hard time in the past?" Empress Wang asked.
"Alas!" The woman sighed and said, "That's just a living thing. Thanks to Your Majesty's mercy, no one in the family has starved to death."
Li Longji's mouth moved. He felt that this woman was scolding him.
What did he mean by 'I didn't starve to death'? Are you sure you're thanking me?
The woman said, "Speaking of which, the Imperial Plantation has its advantages. When there's work to be done, it can only be done at the Imperial Plantation. Other people can't be transferred there. It was just that the rent was a little higher.
There were two meals a day, and he couldn't expect to be full for every meal. When the time comes and the time comes, Zhuangzi will be able to find wild vegetables to dig out and have porridge to eat. Then the adults and children will be able to survive. "
"I see that your clothes are neither new nor old. Have you been wearing them for quite some time?" Empress Wang asked.
"This year, oh, it was made last autumn. It's just one set, and it's always worn. Now there are two sets of clothes at home, two sets for each of us. "
When the woman said this, her eyes reddened and tears flowed out. She was about to kneel down in front of Li Yi when she suddenly stopped.
"Li Dongzhu is very kind. Now, we eat three meals a day. As long as we are willing, there is meat for every meal.
Li Dongzhu and Supervisor Wang hid it from the higher-ups, but they left a lot of money behind. The higher-ups don't know.
Now, they get more money in half a month than they did in a year. This year, Supervisor Wang said that we should learn from Li Dongzhu and Zhuangzi. "
The woman directly told them about the falsification of the accounts.
"Uncle has this ability." Empress Wang praised, as if falsifying the accounts was an act worthy of praise.
"Yang Si Xun naturally can't see it." Li Longji also praised.
Li Yi didn't agree. He explained, "It's just a delay in the financial settlement. It's not a cover-up. We did something extra to make money, so of course there's extra income. It's all because of the villagers' hard work."
He was lying with his eyes wide open. How much could the delay delay the money? Was it used on the villagers?
"Can you find out by checking the accounts?" Empress Wang was curious.
"You need to check Zhuangzi's accounts. Why should the Imperial Plantation check me? I have so many transactions with Zhuangzi, and there's also cost accounting.
If you really want to check, I'll take out the accounts of a few workshops. The workshops have material losses.
If I say it's losses, then it's losses. I can put in all the details. "
Li Yi was comforting the woman, telling her that there wouldn't be any problems.
"Then you can't find out?" Li Longji asked.
"You can. As long as you do it, there will be traces. You said that the accounts were burned and lost. This is a problem in itself."
Li Yi gave an accurate answer. The people who audited the accounts were very good.
In the past, if the company was audited, it would desperately report losses.
The losses would be calculated into the cost and offset the profits.
The auditors knew what was going on, but they couldn't continue investigating. It was too complicated, and it was difficult to collect evidence.
It was the same now. The audit experts of that world came over and looked at Zhuangzi's accounts, but they were also silent.
But they knew that there was a problem, and they also knew how he lost the money.
Of course, Zhuangzi didn't falsify the accounts. The original and the copy were for him to see.
"There's such a method? Good. "Li Longji was in a good mood. In the future, if anyone dared to falsify the accounts, he would call little brother Yi.
At this time, Wang Xing received the news and hurried over. He nodded at Li Longji, indicating that they knew each other.
He then said to Li Yi, "Li Dongzhu is free today?"
"Third brother and sister-in-law wanted to come and take a look. I borrowed the face of the Imperial Plantation." Li Yi spoke naturally.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and had a good relationship.
"I heard that there are some places where His Majesty doesn't go. Things in the palace are missing, but new things are added every year. Here … …"
The Empress asked lightly.
Wang Xing resisted the urge to tremble. He gritted his teeth and replied, "Last autumn, everything was added. The Imperial Plantation no longer needs to use losses and additions to make money."
"Can you find anything by checking the accounts?" Li Longji was more interested in checking the accounts now.
"You can't find anything?" Wang Xing said uncertainly. Then he said firmly, "Yes, you can't find anything. Throw it all away."
"Little brother Yi, what do you say?" Li Longji asked Li Yi.
"I can find out that the Imperial Plantation is used by His Majesty's palace. Throwing away things that are damaged is a big crime.
At most, I can get some money for the lamps. According to His Majesty's requirements, the amount of lamps allowed to be lit each day is limited. If I don't light them, I can keep them. "
Li Yi gave an answer. You can get some, but if you want to get other things, such as bedding, can you throw it away?
"Yes, I can check. There isn't anything in the treasury, but it's all been added. The Imperial Plantation sends many things to His Majesty, as well as some money. Who would check on us? "
Wang Xing told the truth. What should be added was added.
Moreover, the other Imperial Planters could not compare to the Emperor, who was in charge of the Imperial Plantation.
"En!" Li Longji was satisfied. After learning this, he knew how to check on the Imperial Plantation.
He suddenly lost interest. There were only so many things to do in the Imperial Plantation.
The people in charge of the Imperial Plantation did not have much power. Otherwise, who wouldn't want to stay in the palace and have a chance to rise?
"Can we look at the Imperial Plantation from outside?" Empress Wang had never been to the Imperial Plantation before and wanted to take a look.
"You don't have to go in." Wang Xing said against his will. He had no choice but to go in. What if she was here to look at the terrain?
The group of people went to the Imperial Plantation.
The Imperial Plantation had a front hall, a main hall, left and right halls. Beside the main hall were side halls and behind them was the back hall.
The main hall faced south.
The walls were very high. There was no place higher than this, and there were no trees.
The Imperial Plantation was not big, but it had everything.
Lanterns were hung outside the doors, the walls were painted with lime, and the main doors were painted with new paint.
It seemed like Wang Xing was right. What should be added had been added.
"This place is not good. It's gloomy. Uncle Zhuangzi's courtyard is more comfortable." Empress Wang looked around and gave her evaluation.
Li Longji nodded in agreement. Yes, it was not good. There was no sense of security.
