Chapter 52

Chen said in front of You Ziyu, Aunt Lan and the housekeeper's daughter-in-law that he was high-sounding and steady, but he held the account book and asked Third Sister You if she could see what was boring.

Third Sister You knows that this housekeeper's wife is similar to those managers and executives in later generations, and when the new official takes office, he must first burn three fires and pick two fat chickens to kill the monkeys, so that he can restrain everyone. If not, I'm afraid that this You family's inner house will be difficult to stay in the future.

Thinking of this, Third Sister You couldn't help but think of Aunt Lan's act of instigating the girl to get off the horse on the day of marriage, and she didn't feel tired for a while, she flipped through the two pages of the account casually, and had a successful calculation in her heart, so she smiled at Chen's family: "Mom, please rest assured, there are many clues here." It's just up to my mother to find out what Cheng dΓΉ wants. ”

When Chen Shi heard this, his eyes lit up, he sat down next to Third Sister You, and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Third Sister You pondered for a moment, straightened her thoughts, and said: "The most difficult thing about the housekeeper director has always been that the accounts are not clear, the people are superficial, and the family is arrogant. The same is probably true of the You family's problems. It's just that some people are more clever, and some people are clumsy. But if you don't want people to know, unless you don't do anything, no matter how clever you are, there are traces to follow. ”

Third Sister You said, knocked on the account book with her hand, pointed to one of them and said, "Don't say anything else, Mom only looks at this one." I don't know, which year of our year is so bad, even the eggs have risen to five cents a piece? ”

Chen Shi was stunned when he heard this, and immediately looked at the third sister's hand, because he smiled: "Sure enough, my daughter is still smart and smart, I don't understand your previous set of tirades." But looking at the price of eggs, I understand. ”

After that, he said eagerly: "These old people, I don't know how much they have been greedy for ink from it." When I return to the door in three dynasties, I will have time, and I will take her prestige first. ”

didn't say a word, but was stopped by Third Sister You and said, "This is not good." Mom, do you know, who is this person? ”

Chen said: "Based on who she is, could it be that she made a mistake as a slave, and I can't be held accountable as the master?" ”

Third Sister You smiled: "Mom, if you seriously investigate it, it will be in line with Aunt Lan's wishes." ”

When Chen heard this, he was stunned again. I only heard Third Sister You continue to explain: "If you want to talk about this person, I don't know. However, her greedy methods are so crude and simple, the first lady and Aunt Lan didn't theorize when she was in charge, didn't my mother think it was strange? ”

Chen is not a reckless person after all, after hearing the words of Third Sister You, he didn't feel a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly asked: "What do you mean, this housekeeper is the person next to the old lady?" ”

Third Sister You smiled and said, "Is it true, just ask." ”

At that moment, he instructed the maid Zhen'er to call Ying'er and Peony. As soon as the peony came, Third Sister You asked her if she knew who the "Zeng Wu family" was. Na Ying'er thought for a while, and replied with a smile: "The sister-in-law that the girl said is the head of our kitchen, and she was originally the daughter of the old lady's companion Grandma Pan. ”

Hearing this, Chen subconsciously glanced at Third Sister You, and secretly praised it in his heart. For a while, he hated Aunt Lan for being cunning and cunning, and it was clear that she was digging a pit for her to jump.

She has only now married into the You family, and her roots are unstable, and she urgently needs to do two things to establish her authority. But if the old lady has an attack because of this, even if she is not at ease, she has swept the old lady's face, and someone has a heart to provoke it, I am afraid that the old lady will also have a bad heart, even if she doesn't say it, her heart will stay away from her.

Originally, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were natural enemies, even though the Chen family was not afraid of the old lady's embarrassment with the power of the Chen family, but between husband and wife, it was always difficult for the family to get along with each other. Sometimes it seems to be on the top but it doesn't necessarily mean winning. For example, this matter, if the Chen family really had a seizure, it would fall into Aunt Lan's calculations.

Fortunately, the third sister understood in her heart and saw through the slut's trick at a glance. Chen thought so, and looked at the third sister more and more complacently.

Third Sister You didn't realize it, and ordered Zhen'er to move two small sticks at her feet, ordered Xing'er to sit down, served two cups of tea, and smiled at the two little girls and said, "There are some things, we just came, I don't know much." You have to ask questions before you can act. ”

Because he asked the housekeepers who went to the main house with Aunt Lan today, "Who else is in the family?" ”

Peony is a little older than Xing'er, and she is naturally clever and a little smart, so she understood what Chen and Third Sister You meant, and hurriedly spoke first, explaining the background of the daughters-in-law and grandmothers who are now in charge of affairs in the house, especially emphasizing the relationship between which people are old ladies and which people are promoted after Aunt Lan's housekeeper.

The third sister You listened to the explanation of Xing'er and Peony jumping beans, and ordered Zhen'er to study ink and lay paper, and wrote down the personnel relationship between the two little girls one by one. In the end, he still instructed Zhen'er to grab a handful of candy and peony, and sent the two little girls away. Only then did he turn around and smile at Chen: "Then we will know, which chicken should be killed to show the monkey?" ”

Chen listened to the explanation of the peony medicine, turned over the account book, and asked with some worry: "It's just that if we do this, I'm afraid that those who were punished will not accept it." ”

Third Sister You smiled and said: "The so-called water is clear, there is no fish, and I am responsible for the housekeeper's business every day, and it is too embarrassing to see the silver passing in front of me but not reaching out at all." Not to mention our family, it is those officials in the court, once they take office, they are up and down, and there are many people who are greedy for ink. Even if you change this batch now, and pick a few that seem to be real, you don't dare to do anything for a day or two, and it will be difficult to keep it clean after a long time. It can be seen that it does not matter who we choose to do things, it depends on how we control it. ”

Chen was confused, but still didn't understand. Seeing this, Third Sister You had to explain again: "Anyway, let's sort out the accounts first, and pick out all the places that have been boring over the years and present them to the old lady and the old man." As for whether they will be punished or not, and how they will be punished, it depends on the old lady and the old man's idea. These things about old sesame seeds and rotten grains have nothing to do with us after all. Regardless of whether the wife and Aunt Lan are not well supervised or are self-stealing, we are too lazy to theorize, but we just let everyone understand in their hearts, but how to do things on errands in the future, then we have to listen to my mother's meaning. If not, the punishment for the two crimes will not be gently let go now. ”

Chen understood this time, clapped his hands and smiled: "Wonderful." You damn girl, I understand what it means. But let's beat them up first, so they know how good we are. In the future, if you are on an errand, you must be in good spirits. In this way, we don't dare to be greedy for ink and don't dare to cheat and play tricks, and when the time comes, and then compare with the first, won't it show our benefits? ”

Third Sister You nodded, and said with a smile: "That's pretty much what it means." But if you expect the cats not to steal fish, it's better for us to work hard and think of some ways not to give them the opportunity to get their hands on and be greedy for ink. ”

When Chen heard this, he became more and more surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What can I do about this?" Why don't we send people to watch them all day long? ”

When Third Sister You heard this, she smiled. In fact, she had this idea as early as when she took over the dowry trade of the Chen family. It's just that he was young at the time, so he couldn't do it arbitrarily. Now that he is older and older, not to mention that in the name of the Chen family, it is also good to practice his hands in the You family's house first, and then do something in his own business when he is familiar with it.

Thinking so, the third sister You slowly explained to Chen, and first explained to Chen what is the double-entry accounting method, because she said: "Since the compradors outside make false quotations when buying things, and the various lines inside are up and down, it is better to ask them to ask the seller for the purchase list when they buy things, and order them to list the price and texture of each thing one by one. In addition, when misappropriating things, you must also remember clearly, when and where you have used them. A list in triplicate......"

After talking about double-entry accounting, let's talk about personnel management. Third Sister You said the assessment method and scoring principle of performance appraisal hundreds of years in advance. It's just that this is still the simplest big framework, "You have to combine the situation of the You family's inner house, and then carefully consider it, this is not in a hurry." ”

Listening to Chen's words, he didn't feel shocked. I just feel that this method is okay, the rewards and punishments are clear, and there are rules and regulations for all affairs, but there is no need for the master in charge to bother, just stare at the people below and do things according to the rules.

It's just that I don't understand why Third Sister You wants to allocate a "clean silver" to support those stewards and daughters-in-law.

Third Sister You said: "The reason why those stewards and daughters-in-law try their best to be greedy for ink when they are on errands is just because they are afraid that people will go to the tea and cool, and when they have no errands in the future, they will have no income in their hands and will not be able to support their families." Except for those who have been relieved of their errands because they have gone on a business trip, it is also unfair if those who are conscientious and loyal to their masters are also old and have nothing to rely on. If we are the masters of the rewards and punishments, those subordinates will naturally have no bottom in their hearts. If you have a charter, you have to live with a penny of money every month. This ensures their stable life, and they don't have to worry about being loyal to their masters. ”

To put it bluntly, it's just that the five insurances and one housing fund of later generations are used flexibly. As a slave and maid, all of her life belongs to the master's family, and there is no need to deal with this matter. But if you are born as a human being, you must have selfish intentions. Third Sister You didn't know how the wife of the head of the house in ancient times managed the inner house, but she knew how the personnel department of later generations formulated assessment standards to manage the company. I believe that the two have something in common.

The Chen family didn't know that the third sister You used the method of managing the company to manage the inner house, but she felt that she had spoken to her daughter, and her heart was a lot more stable. People also become unhurried and unhurried, and become steady.

When the three dynasties returned to the door the next day, the Chen family had to show a few words with the eldest sister-in-law Feng, and asked the Feng family to follow this method as a housekeeper, "If it really happens, it can save a lot of heart." ”

Not to mention whether Feng would be tempted when he heard it, he only said that his uncle Chen Jue took advantage of the time when Mrs. Chen and his aunt You Ziyu were eating and gossiping, and went to the study to pick up a few books of words describing overseas customs and anecdotes sent by the permanent manager of Yutai Commercial Bank, and came to the house to look for Third Sister You, and happened to hear Chen's aunt's sister-in-law's words. Unconsciously moved, he immediately stepped forward and asked with a smile, but Chen Shi always didn't understand the details, so Chen Jue simply took Third Sister You to the side room and asked carefully.

Third Sister You knows that her uncle has sharp eyes and is good at drilling. I also know that my uncle has now taken the path of the prince, and it seems to be full of flowers outside, but in fact it is as dangerous as a tired egg. It's just that only she, a later person, can understand these things, and if she really says it, I'm afraid that everyone won't think she's crazy, and they won't take it to heart.

That's why Third Sister You came up with the idea of double-entry accounting and performance appraisal. One is to better manage the Chen family's dowry shop and business, and the other is to learn from the Di Bao that there are many ills in the imperial court today, and that the saint is now old and old, and he is no longer the ambition of the past, so he may be able to endure it. But no matter which prince ascends to the throne in the future, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear the emptiness of the treasury but fatten the eunuchs of the family. If the uncle can propose these methods in front of the court or the prince, even if the prince disagrees, he may be able to enter the eyes of another person.

At that time, it can be regarded as having to fight hard.

It's just that due to age limitations, Third Sister You still doesn't dare to say anything too profound and sophisticated, but she has taken advantage of the cheap management of the dowry shop over the years, so she thought of some methods, "I don't know if it will be successful, for fear that it will mess up the business of the shop, but it will not be good." It just so happened that my mother was going to take over the You family's affairs this time, so I tried it. If it's good or not, you'll know. ”

It's not good, anyway, it's not her own business if it's broken, she doesn't feel distressed.

Chen Jue naturally heard the potential meaning of Third Sister You, and smiled unconsciously. Secretly said "little slippery head".
