Tongjihang

The best settler in Jiang Zuocheng doesn't collect money, he collects people's hearts. Lu Jun is the only living person in Tongji Xing. This old tooth shop, which once controlled half of the city's business, now only has a sign with peeling paint, a rented shop, and a young owner who can hardly survive. Fifteen years ago, his father died as a result of a major government procurement case. The Lu family confiscated the property and the signboard was removed. He only has one thing to survive - posting accounts. After flipping through an account three times, he could tell who wrote which, whether he hesitated when writing, and why the change of three cents was omitted. He carries an old notebook with him, and what he keeps in mind is not money: who is greedy, who is filial, who owes whom a life, and who will change at what price. This year, the commercial tax in Jiangzuo City was increased by 20%, and the fire consumption increased to 80%. Some people knelt down for two hours for thirty taels. Some people packed a hundred and twenty-seven pieces to treat their son's illness, knowing that they could not fit in them. Some people bought three cents of paper money three days before the ship sank and refused to write their names. Lu Jun settled things for them. A table, an account, and three pieces of paper. He never judged right or wrong, only put the cost of choice on the table, and then watched human nature reveal itself. There is another person in the city who understands people's hearts better than him - Liu Sanniang, the leader of Qinghe class. One of her plays can open a business or kill a person. Her approach to Lu Jun was a move made for someone else. There is a person standing behind him. That person supported him, and every time he supported him, he was owed deeper and had fewer options to retreat. That person was also the person who destroyed the Lu family fifteen years ago. Lu Jun's backer is the only person in the world who really wants him dead. And half of the true account that was torn in half was in his own hands.
