15. Settle accounts

The whole housekeeper is very efficient, and not long after Su Paner finished breakfast, the whole housekeeper came to the door with two boxes of account books. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Su Paner moved to the study room in Bao Yueyao's courtyard very resigned to discuss with the housekeepers.

From the mouth of the whole housekeeper, I learned that the current situation of Baofu is rotten and cannot be worse.

Originally, the Bao family monopolized the restaurant industry in Chaoyang City, and silk, porcelain, and medicinal materials were also slightly involved, and its branches were all over the country's major cities. However, due to the introduction of a lot of fresh food from overseas after the new dynasty carried out overseas trade in recent years, Baojia Restaurant was hit hard, and then various new restaurants emerged, and Baojia Restaurant was gradually eliminated. In addition, Mr. Bao's health is getting worse and worse, and he doesn't have much energy to take care of so many industries, so he closes many branches in small cities and concentrates on running the main stores in major cities. The name of the Bao family restaurant is Yuelai Inn, and the one where she secretly saw Xin and Huang Shixin cheating is the property of the Bao family.

However, with the development of the new dynasty's commerce, Yuelai Inn in many cities has been unable to make ends meet and has been losing money. Mr. Bao invested a lot of money, but there was no improvement. This year, Mr. Bao's health is even worse, it seems that in order to gamble on the last handful, Mr. Bao has sold many Yuelai Inn branches in the first three months to raise funds, leaving only the head offices in Chaoyang, Kyoto, and Dachu, the three major cities. Silk and porcelain shops were only kept in Chaoyang City, and then with the ninety percent of the funds collected by the Bao family, they ordered the seeds and finished products of poppies from ten large cargo ships overseas - Xiaoyaosan, which will be addictive if you eat too much, just like opium. Master Bao originally planned to mix in the food in the Yuelai Inn after the arrival of these boats of Xiaoyaosan, so that the diners would be addicted, and then make huge profits by selling Xiaoyaosan. But unexpectedly, the Cai Governor's Mansion, which was originally bought, temporarily turned his face and did not recognize anyone, and the cargo ship was directly detained by him when it arrived in Hong Kong the day before yesterday. Although the emperor repeatedly ordered the ban, there were still many merchants who made a fortune selling it, and even some officials would take part in it to make a profit. As soon as the cargo ship is seized, I am afraid that these goods will be swallowed by the greedy guy in Cai Zhifu. Now they have to pay more money to buy those officials to gag them, if they are investigated, I am afraid that it is not only as simple as confiscating all the goods, according to the purchase volume of Master Bao, I am afraid that the entire Bao family will be beheaded.

Now all the funds that the Bao family can call together are only 50,000 taels, which is not enough to stuff the teeth of those officials. And the daily expenses of more than 300 people in the whole house of Bao Mansion are at least a few hundred taels, and it also costs a lot of money to hold a grand funeral for Master Bao. If this continues, the Bao family will not be able to last for two months, and may not even be able to live for a month.

Su Paner was completely speechless at this mess, stroking her forehead, she finally understood why Master Bao was so eager to commit suicide, and she would rather not live if such a mess rested on her!! Su Paner now has the urge to leave such a big trouble as Baofu and leave.

This old man of the dead bag actually wants to do the business of selling Xiaoyaosan, which hurts the sky and harms the son of the son without an asshole! It's good that it wasn't sold, otherwise he really wouldn't have died a hundred times! The most selfish thing is to make a mess of the good Bao family and then pat her ass and leave, and leave a will for her to sacrifice herself in exchange for the assistance of the Zhou family, and then keep the Bao family's property and leave it to his illegitimate son. She'd love to yell now, TMD! Selfishness to his point is really the best of the best, he didn't think about Bao Yueyao and a few aunts at all when he did these things, he just wanted to earn more silver for his son, but the silver didn't make it but lost the entire Bao family, and then he remembered that he still had a daughter, so he asked her to help him clean up the mess and help him raise his son by the way! Ahh It's worse than a bastard!

Seeing that Su Pan'er had been twitching the corners of her mouth while looking at the account book, she tried her best to endure it, and she didn't dare to disturb. He can completely understand her feelings, he reported these situations to Master Bao after dinner last night, and Master Bao was also devastated, pursed his lips and kept not speaking, and then wrote a will and handed it to him. He knew that the Bao family was in this situation, and there was almost no way to go bankrupt. I didn't expect Master Bao to want to rely on such a weak female stream as Miss to revive the Bao family, and I think it's impossible to think about it. He still planned to go bankrupt as soon as possible, and helped the young master think of a way back......

Su Paner secretly scolded the eighteenth generation of Old Man Bao's ancestors in her heart, and people who can give birth to such a selfish villain are not much better! No, isn't this even Bao Yueyao scolded together? Now she is Bao Yueyao, Bao Yueyao is her, doesn't this scold her ancestors? Ahh......hhh It's no wonder, it's all blame for the old man's old grave!

Forget it, it's useless to scold now. More than 300 members of the Bao family are still waiting for her to feed, and the responsibility on her shoulders is very heavy. Now the most important thing is to deal with Governor Cai, so that he will not be held accountable for the crime of smuggling and selling at large. It's best to help them cover up the facts, and change the peace of the Bao family. At the beginning, Master Bao spent 500,000 taels to bribe Cai Zhifu, but now it is below this amount, I am afraid that Cai Zhifu will not accept it. However, according to the housekeeper Quan, tomorrow's funeral Governor Cai will bring his wife, and she can take this opportunity to talk to Governor Cai.

And Master Bao's funeral, because he bought a feng shui cemetery for himself early in the morning, he could save a sum of money, but according to the Bao family, who has a face in Chaoyang City, it will cost at least a thousand taels to do the funeral. Su Paner hurriedly asked about the details of the funeral, and found that there were many places where the money was spent unnecessary. Immediately let the whole housekeeper delete the funeral and simplify, except for the necessary, everything else can be saved, in this way, the funeral of the old man only needs to spend five hundred taels, but you can save a thousand taels.

Then there are the expenses of the Bao government. Ordinary people's families spend at most ten taels a year, but they actually spend hundreds of taels a day in their house, compared to the cost of Baofu, which is simply astronomical, and no matter how much money they have, they can't afford to waste it so much. Su Paner flipped through the account book of the expenses in the Baofu Mansion and found that they were all used for food and clothing, and the Xin family was very generous in terms of food and clothing, and the ingredients purchased by the Baofu every day were enough for ordinary people to eat for a year. Then there are supplements and custom-made clothes and jewelry, which cost more. So far, there are still several orders of clothes and jewelry made by Xin's have not yet been checked, and some pre-ordered jewelry and supplements will be delivered to the door in two days, worth as much as 3,000 taels. Su Pan'er couldn't close her mouth when she saw this, fortunately, this Xin family was no longer in the Bao Mansion, if she was still in the Mansion, the remaining silver in the Bao Mansion might not be enough for her to squander for three days!

Su Pan'er hurriedly asked the housekeeper to return all the things ordered by the Xin family, and in the future, the valuable medicinal materials and supplements in the house should not be purchased except for the second aunt's needs. The food in the house is enough for three dishes and one soup per meal, so don't cook more and waste more. In this way, it is enough to spend a few dozen taels a day.

All the housekeepers responded one by one, but I didn't expect the young lady to be much more shrewd than she imagined, the decisions she made were very appropriate, and it really made him a little impressed, obviously the young lady who was soft and weak before would only hide in the deep boudoir embroidery and play the piano, now it seems that she has completely changed as a person, not only can she understand the account book at once, but also know how to throttle. It seems that the master still has his reasons for entrusting the Bao family to Miss, maybe Miss can really revive the Bao family......

"Miss, in three days it will be the day of the monthly money, the whole house is 356 people, and the monthly money needs a total of 687 taels, this money is ......" The whole housekeeper groaned.

"I and a few aunts can save our monthly money." Su Paner returned.

"Even if you remove a few aunts and young ladies, it will cost six hundred and forty-two taels, should you distribute them on time?" The whole housekeeper asked.

“…… Six hundred and forty-two taels, ......" After being reminded by the housekeeper, Su Pan'er remembered that the current master of the Bao Mansion is just her and the four aunts, but there are three hundred and fifty-one servants, and there are too many people, and their monthly money alone is a big expense. With the current situation in their house, they simply don't need and can't afford to support so many servants......

…… Should she consider making 'redundancies'?
