Chapter Ninety-Nine: It Costs Money to Raise People!
[Ran^Text^Library] [ ] Yue Zheng ate and drank until the first snow melted.
The stewards paid the account again, and it was November.
Qin Qi has never come back.
And Gu Mohan's letter has never been there.
After a few snowfalls, the mountains became colder and colder, and the kang in the Zhuangzi was a little unable to stop the cold air.
On the day of the 5th, Cai Wei built yƬ Gu Xinyue and went to the capital in advance.
The things had already been packed, and the carriage had already been prepared, but seeing the convoy of ten carriages, as well as the more than eighty people in blue and black and the majestic guards in the red cloak, Gu Xinyue was a little dumbfounded.
"Girl, I left ten people to guard the warehouse." Seeing Gu Xinyue's expression, He Niu took two steps forward.
Most of those colored satins have been sold, and the remaining ones, the precious ones, they are all packed in boxes and taken away, and Gu Mohan's loot, Qin Qi has also sold a lot, and the rest are some large items that can't be moved, ten people are enough.
"No, didn't you say that our county lord's mansion is very small?" Gu Xinyue said.
"Don't worry, girl, you can live it." He Niu said with a smile.
"Girl, get in the car." Cai Wei walked out with a bag and pursed her lips and smiled.
Seeing that the two of them were so determined, Gu Xinyue was no longer entangled, and got into the carriage with the flying eagle logo first.
There were only two cars in the convoy, Cai Wei and Zi Su accompanied Gu Xinyue to sit in the first car, and Begonia Peony Pomegranate sat in the second car.
The carriage was very comfortable after Qin Qi's transformation several times, and the perilla was covered with thick cotton wool in advance, and several exquisite carbon cages were placed.
Gu Xinyue took off her big hat, leaned on the soft back, looked at Zisu, and said, "Don't you want to go?" ā
"The slave and maid are just thinking, the account has not been transcribed yet." Shisu lowered his head and placed a delicate kettle on the charcoal stove and said softly.
Zhuangzi's income is simple, but the oil mill and Ji Jing sent over the accounts are very complicated, in October, three of the five shops retreated, Ji Jing directly opened his own silk shop, spice shop and a medicinal herb shop, the shop has just opened, the income is not much, but the expenditure is very fragmented, plus Ji Jing brought back all the goods from Jiangnan to get rid of it, and go to Jiangnan to transport goods, there are eight books alone.
Gu Xinyue was silent.
These ledger superbrains are very simple to do, but the stingy superbrain is calculated according to the number of times, and the analysis of one will remove three hundred angers, and she will use up all the previous anger without realizing that she will let the superbrain finish the space for a while.
And even if you reward people with copper coins, you will only get three hundred angers.
But she herself was impatient to look at those bits and pieces of accounts, so she could only continue to trouble Shiso.
"It's okay, don't you have all the account books with you, when you go to the capital, you don't have to go out with me, just concentrate on reconciliation." Gu Xinyue put her fingers to her lips and smiled weakly.
Don't you have to go out? Zi Su raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Xinyue, the corners of his lips hooked, and he lowered his head to make tea.
"Girl, maybe you will live in the capital until the beginning of spring?" Cai Wei glanced at Shisu and said in a low voice.
Gu Mohan and Qin Qi have been in Ganzhou all the year round, but they didn't think about how cold the winter in Zhuangzi was.
Besides, the mountains are full of gloom, and the girl has no place to play, in the few days when Yue Zheng was there, there were still people to accompany her to make trouble, and as soon as Yue Zheng left, there was no one to play, just so stuffy in the Zhuangzi, she looked distressed.
The capital will be warmer anyway, and the New Year is approaching, and there are many lively places.
"Well, if you can, then it's naturally the best, but I don't know ......" The voice paused, Gu Xinyue waved her hand and said: "No matter how much, didn't Qin Qi say that keeping the mausoleum for nine months is considered to be a full year of guarding?" Let's stay in the capital, what's wrong! ā
It's just a little troublesome, anyway, Gu Mohan also said that he will come back at the end of the year.
"Well, then, do you want to bring in more people?" Cai Wei took out the hot snacks from the bag and put them away, and asked.
"Yes, Caiwei, you look at it, by the way, with my status as the county lord, how many people around me are suitable?" Gu Xinyue took a piece of dim sum and took the tea handed over by Zi Su and nodded.
Wen Zhu never went back when she arrived in the capital, even if she counted Qingya, now there are only six girls around her, it is enough according to her, but in terms of the pomp of the county lord, it is far from enough.
Instead of waiting for others to find an opportunity to send someone to them, it is better to quickly get them together yourself.
Thinking of this, Gu Xinyue sighed again about the unreliability of the emperor's uncle.
"There should be eight big maids in the girl's yard, twelve second-class maids, twelve little maids, twelve mothers-in-law, and a housekeeper."
Cai Wei was just halfway through speaking, and Gu Xinyue squirted out a mouthful of water.
"This is only the inner courtyard of the county lord." Cai Wei put down the handkerchief that blocked her saliva, put it aside with a discolored face, took a clean one to Gu Xinyue, and said lightly: "The county lord opens the mansion alone, and it can be equipped with two hundred guards with knives, as well as stewards, etc., a county lord's mansion, there must always be more than three hundred subordinates." ā
"So much! How much does this have to be raised! Gu Xinyue said with round eyes.
Now that these people are raised, she has to pay four hundred taels of silver a month, of course, Qinwei and Qinglianzi are the big heads, and Cai Wei and Yuan are only thirty taels a month, but three hundred! Even according to two hundred guards, one hundred people, more than eight hundred taels a month.
Not to mention the cost of clothing, food, and housing that has increased several times because of the large number of people!
The most important thing is that she is alone, and she doesn't need so many people to serve at all! The guards said that those maids basically can't play the role of making money!
This face...... It's too expensive!
"That, Cai Wei, you see, in fact, what about me, my self-care ability is still good, we need these guards, what kind of mother-in-law and maid or something, can you not have so much?" With a dark face, Gu Xinyue discussed with Cai Wei: "Let's increase that position as a guard, not necessarily with a knife or anything, or anything with a powerful force." ā
If there were so many people, she would rather they could just go up and fight.
There are too many enemies, and safety is important!
"I know, I'll find some military envoys." Holding back a smile, Cai Wei nodded.
I knew that the girl would definitely react this way!
is full of money, and the girl also has to make the best use of it, and never waste a penny.
It's just that the girl is also generous, not to mention that the monthly example given is more than double that of the other Zhuangzi, and she also gives some bounties from time to time, and the food is also very good, and there is meat to eat at the meal.
Let the village next to Zhuangzi often have people come to inquire and ask the girl if she wants to buy someone.
"Envoy girl?" Gu Xinyue was stunned for a moment and said, "It's you and Begonia?" ā
Cai Wei The four of them are beautiful, capable, and have their own specialties, and most importantly, their force value is also high, which cannot be compared with He Niu and their personal guards, but those croppers outside can pick a few one by one.
"It's not as good as us, but it's still a bit of strength," Cai Wei said with a smile.
"So, where can I find such a person?" Gu Xinyue asked, such a person, I'm afraid that he can't find it casually?
"The military families in Ganzhou, the war in Ganzhou in the past few years continued, many military families died of men, cut off income, then sold the girls in the family, handed over to a special person for training, if the girl agreed, I will let the Wang steward go to Ganzhou, bring some back."
"That's the best, without further ado, you can let the king take care of things, wait!" Gu Xinyue's happy voice stopped abruptly, paused, and said with a bitter face: "Sister Caiwei, can we live in the county lord's mansion with so many people?" ā
