Transformed into a furry person, I am doing public relations in the Northern Song Dynasty

Since we need to check the accounts, we naturally cannot let two people check themselves.

Liu Yunqing went to the yamen and not only invited Cheng Li and others, but also specially invited Yang Fengyang, the official in charge of internal affairs and accounts in the yamen. He was the one who discovered the problems with Liu Chenggong's accounts in the court.

Naturally, he was also responsible for reviewing the accounts of the two bookstores.

Small transactions involving a pen and two pieces of paper did not require much attention, but when it came to large transactions of money and goods, he would have to ask the other party to the transaction to bring their account books to confront him.

Liu Yunqing's accounts were the clearest. Yunxi was a meticulous person. Since she had been in charge of the bookstore's finances, she had recorded every single transaction very clearly from the very beginning of the promotion, even down to what concessions and discounts were given to which customers.

As for the large amounts of money that came in, there were several of them, one of which was the money used for planning the Chunhe Teahouse.

Since doing crisis public relations for others was not within the scope of the bookstore's business, it would be fined if the government found out. In order to avoid this, they naturally could not record every detail.

From the very beginning, Liu Yunqing thought of a way to deal with the situation. He recorded the silver given by Madam Du as money for printing the menu for Chunhe Teahouse.

Whenever woodblock printing was involved, the amount of silver would not be just one or two taels. Liu Yunqing deposited the deposit and the balance into the bookstore's account in four installments. The amount was neither pitifully small nor too large.

Unless Lord Chen goes to the bookstore's warehouse and looks to see whether the engraved plate for making the menu is still there, he will not be able to find it.

The second was to authorize the ghost play to Guilanfang. Liu Yunqing also took on a few other plays and updated them from time to time. Although he did not make much money each time, the money accumulated over a long period of time would become a considerable expense over a few months.

Of course, this is beyond the scope of the bookstore's business and can only be regarded as Liu Yunqing's personal business, not the bookstore's income. But since he wants to compete with Liu Chenggong, naturally he cannot miss any money and will record it if he can.

Liu Yunqing used the same method to modify the item of income. He wrote to Cui Niang of Guilanfang to customize a batch of incense sticks and listed the cost one by one without finding any flaws.

The third is the income from incense paper. This item is more, and naturally it is in compliance with regulations in every way. Only the part of selling imitation paper is omitted. The account books are all kept by Cui Niang. Liu Yunqing only takes the money, and the business belongs to Cui Niang.

The fourth is the income from the Quotation Contest. Not to mention that refreshments and all writing supplies were provided free of charge at the time, the long-term influence that this contest brought to Qingxi Bookstore could not be bought back with money.

Literary men and women came in droves to show their support. Not to mention those from far away, there were hundreds of people who ordered incense paper and other books and writing materials on the spot. After that event, the deposit alone amounted to more than 500 taels.

Later, they started selling bookmarks printed with quotations from literati as free gifts, which brought in another huge amount of income.

The competition was held after the Dragon Boat Festival, and it's almost September now and the heat has not died down yet. If it weren't for the incident at the perfume shop, the continued income from the quotation competition and incense paper would be enough for Liu Yunqing to live comfortably for the second half of the year.

Not to mention the money earned from Zhao Chengyan's business. This business has nothing to do with the bookstore, and there is no need to take out other account books for people to review, so as to avoid any trouble.

Liu Yunqing thought that the money currently available at Qingxi Bookstore was enough for Liu Chenggong to have a good time.

Thinking of this, Liu Yunqing glanced at Liu Chenggong who was secretly looking at the account book of Qingxi Bookstore.

This scourge, even if he escapes unscathed today, we cannot let him stay any longer. No matter what means we use, we must make him fall badly and never get up again, and he will never dare to do anything rash again.

Then he looked at Zhao Chengyan quietly, and met his master's dark gaze. The two looked at each other and thought of the same thing.

After briefly looking through it for half an hour, he finally went through the accounts of Qingxi Bookstore. Because the bet was to see who would profit the most, he only counted the money coming in and not the money going out.

"After the three-month account of Qingxi Bookstore has been calculated, excluding the expenses and capital, the total income is 7,236 taels."

Lord Chen gave a rough number, but the real number was actually much higher than that. However, even so, it was enough to amaze the crowd watching the excitement.

The owner of the shoe shop next door was a straightforward person. She was also a neighbor who had watched Liu Yunqing grow up. When she heard the number of melon seeds, she didn't even bother to eat them. She ran to Liu Yunqing in three or two steps and stuffed all the melon seeds in her palm into Liu Yunqing.

"Qing girl is really amazing! When I saw you running the old bookstore, I knew you were a capable person. I think you make a hundred taels a year. No kid on this street can compare to you."

"You said you were going to separate from your father, and we were worried about your business. Who says a capable person can be capable no matter where he is? Without your father, you have become even more capable. It shows who is the burden, and some people are completely unaware of it!"

"I won't make shoes anymore. How about I start the bookstore business with you?"

Their skill in making shoes has been passed down for generations. Whether it is the simple straw sandals that cost eight cents a pair or the silk shoes with pearls on them, they are all made very well. Liu Yunqing naturally knew that this was a joke.

She held the aunt's hand and nodded: "That's great, aunt, you are so capable that you can't find anyone like me even with a lantern. If I take you away, I'm afraid your family will be angry with me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around started laughing. The aunt in the shoe shop was already quite old, but she couldn't help blushing when everyone teased her again and again, and she kept laughing and cursing.

The reason was nothing more than him. The aunt who worked in the shoe shop had a hard life in the past. She got married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, but her husband was a tuberculosis patient and passed away within half a year, leaving behind only a pair of elderly parents.

My aunt has been taking care of her parents-in-law for twenty years without complaint. Not only did she take care of them until their death, she also started her own business selling the family craft, and she is very successful. Now she is middle-aged and has found her second spring.

The man was the owner of a fruit shop in the south of the city. He was ten years younger than the aunt working in the shoe shop.

It was said that the owner of the fruit shop brought his sister to choose shoes for her wedding, and bought the best pair in the shop, which cost him nearly twenty taels. However, although the cloth shoes he was wearing were clean, they had a small hole in them.

The aunt thought that this brother was not only good-looking, but also really good to her. She spent a lot of money on him. While the shopkeeper was measuring her sister's feet, the aunt asked the shopkeeper to take off his shoes and mended their shoes with a few stitches.

It was such an unintentional action that touched people's hearts.

From then on, the owner of the fruit shop in the south of the city became a frequent customer of the shoe shop. After a few visits, they developed feelings for each other. They were both straightforward people, and as soon as they knew each other, they got married after only knowing each other for three or four months.
