Chapter 163: Capable subordinates

There were the chief stewards who were in charge of the Dingguo Gongguan Zhuang and a few outside stewards.

Gu Xinyue saw them in the main hall outside.

As soon as he came in, the chief steward, who was about forty years old at the time, took a few people behind him to kneel down and kowtow, and after being shouted by Gu Xinyue to get up, he also lowered his head and spoke.

"Girl, this is the income from this year's Zhuangzi, do you think those New Year's goods will be sent here?" The chief steward handed the ledger to Cai Wei.

The end of the year is the time to settle the bill, generally the Grange is November, the shop is December, and now it is almost December, and the Grange will come to pay the account?

Gu Xinyue's brows frowned slightly.

"The rent and interest have already been calculated, but the house is too chaotic, so I want to delay it, but now the emperor has issued an order, and the title of the Duke of Guo will be inherited by the general, and the general has also ordered, and these things in the house will be decided by the girl in the future." As if sensing Gu Xinyue's incomprehension, the chief steward looked at the ground and explained.

"So." Gu Xinyue said: "It's been a few hard work. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the man with a thin face and a sickly face behind a few people, and said, "I haven't met a few people, can you please tell me what you are responsible for?" That one, you speak first. ”

The thin man took a step forward and said, "The villain Gu Dong was originally in charge of the property of the Duke of Xianguo in Ganzhou, but now, it is idle. ”

Gu Xinyue raised her eyebrows unconsciously.

This person, Qin Qi told her.

He was the steward who was ordered by Gu Hekui to work hard to transport the silver back, but was forced by Mrs. Gu to hand it over.

At that time, Gu Lao Taijun beat him fifty boards and didn't let him speak, and finally took his deed and ordered him in the name of the head of the family and loyalty, so he couldn't help but say it.

And after recuperating from his injuries for three months, all the things in his hands have been taken away by Gu Hezhang.

After Gu Dong finished speaking, the rest of the stewards also said what they were doing.

In addition to the chief steward, there are several stewards of the grange and shop.

Gu Xinyue casually flipped through the account book, those official villages were not big, and they only added up to 12,000 mu, but the final interest was 16,000 taels.

This is much higher than the average Zhuangzi.

"You guys did a good job, what you did before, how you will do it in the future, let's still follow my father's rules." Gu Xinyue closed the account book and said to the chief steward Gu Fu with a pleasant face.

"Yes." Gu Fu responded, tilted his head slightly, and glanced at Gu Dong.

"Gu Dong, you are very good," Gu Xinyue also looked at Gu Dong and said: "I remember that when the house was divided, there were some granges and shops here, and you will be responsible for those in the future, if you do it well, I will naturally have a lot of use." ”

"Thank you, girl." Gu Dong bowed, paused, and said, "The original steward?" ”

"Speaking of which, I seem to have heard that there is a lot of trouble in the house now?" Gu Xinyue handed the account book to Cai Wei and asked with interest.

The old people around the old lady were all disposed of by Ji Jing, and Wen Zhu became the big girl in the courtyard, and yesterday she also asked people to report that the house was lively, but fortunately, the main courtyard was guarded by Ji Jing's guards, so they were not rushed in by those female dependents.

"Yes, the villain also wants to talk to the girl about this." Gu Fu said loudly: "The Zhuangzi and the outside affairs that a few of us have been in charge of, and the affairs of the house, generally don't care, but the day before yesterday, several stewards of the house came to us and said that everyone would join forces to make trouble. ”

"Troublemaker?" Gu Xinyue unconsciously became interested.

These people are all people who have signed a death deed in the Gu Mansion, and many of them are still born to the family and make trouble with the master's family?

"Yes, there were nearly 500 people in the house, except for the 60 people in the old lady's courtyard and the miscellaneous ladies in the big room, there were 140 people in the second room, 110 people in the third room, and 140 people in the fourth room. Now the rooms are divided. A hint of sarcasm flashed across Gu Fu's face, and he continued: "They can't afford to support so many people, so they want to sell those who don't want it, and I heard that they will sell two-thirds of them." But most of those people are the sons of the family, and the deed is not in their hands, so some stewards want to ......"

He didn't have a deed but wanted to sell someone, and he was kicked out by Gu Mohan, and the second room now doesn't even have a reputation, so those subordinates are also bold.

Gu Xinyue smiled at the corner of her lips, and said with a slight bow: "So, what do you think of the chief steward?" ”

Gu Fu raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Gu Xinyue, then immediately retracted his gaze, and said: "The villain thinks that if it is for the face of the Guogong Mansion, the girl still has to take care of it, but these villains who disrespect the lord's family can't be kept." ”

Gu Xinyue nodded and said, "What I said is, no matter what, the current Guogong is my brother." Ji Jing. ”

"Yes." Ji Jing, who had been standing behind as a background wall, took two steps forward and bowed in response.

"You go back, go and see who are in those rooms, and which ones the uncles took away, if they are honest, they will stay, if they are slippery, give the deed to the uncles, and ask the uncles to deal with it themselves."

Gu Xinyue said lightly, and Gu Fu unconsciously glanced up at her again.

When the deed was taken out, Gu and Jing had nothing to say about selling those subordinates, and such a large number of people were sold by those houses, and they were settled, and it was also the face of those houses.

As for the vacancies in the house.

Naturally, there are honest people left to do it.

"Yes." Ji Jing responded and glanced at He Niu.

He Niu went and gathered people to come.

"I'll hand it over to me directly, we won't need so much of these cattle and sheep here, send some to the house to ensure the supply of the old lady, and the rest, Ji Jing, you can deal with it." Gu Xinyue took out the New Year's goods list in the account book and handed it to Ji Jing.

"Yes." Ji Jing took the list and glanced at it, and stuffed it into the cuffs.

"That's it, hard work." Gu Xinyue said softly, got up and wanted to leave.

"Isn't the girl going back to the house?" Gu Dong raised his head and said in a dumb voice.

Gu Xinyue paused and looked back at him.

"The girl is the rightful owner of the Guogong Mansion." Gu Dong lowered his head and lowered his eyes.

Gu Xinyue thought about it, smiled, and said, "It's too chaotic in the house now, when the house is clean, I naturally want to go." ”

Gu Mohan also said this.

But she didn't want to go back, at least not yet.

Although she is paralyzed, the old lady is still there after all, and once she goes back, she will not be able to do her own thing without scruples like now.

What's more, it is a separate family, and once you go back, the people in those rooms will inevitably come to find trouble.

With so much going on now, she didn't have the time or leisure to deal with those people.

"Yes, the little one knows." Gu Dong took a step back and said.

"Well, in this way, Gu Dong, if you are still in trouble, you will help me become the chief steward of the Guogong Mansion, I will hold your identity deed in my own hands, and in the future, you don't have to obey other people's orders. Even the old lady doesn't have to pay attention. The corners of Gu Xinyue's lips turned up.

Gu Dong raised his head suddenly, and a pair of eyes on his yellow and thin face were amazingly bright.

But after only glancing at Gu Xinyue, she lowered her head, fell to her knees with a pop, slammed her head on the ground, and said, "Yes, girl!" ”
