【188】Embarrassment (2nd Watch)
() The thunderous means of the new master calmed everyone in the villa, and even the people who were left behind were silent, not daring to be lucky because they were not implicated, and cheered up 120,000 spirits to obey the arrangements of the superiors to serve the guests in the various guest houses.
In the courtyard where Qin Shuang and the others lived, there was also a cooking woman, a laundry woman, two small maids, and two maids, a total of six people, the yard was too big, and it was not good to keep salvia and mint busy with everything, Qin Shuang and Ah Chen also had to leave someone around them to run errands and arrange some things, these things can only be handed over to the people who came from Ruyizhuang, and it is not safe to hand them over to others.
Wang Xi's family of three is hateful, but the way they thought of making money, the current operation of the villa is not bad, Qin Shuang and Ah Chen discussed it, and decided to continue to use it, there is no need to have spent money to drive away the guests who have lived in, it is a waste to keep it on hold when they don't come, and they have to invest a lot of maintenance costs in it every year but there is no income at all, and it is very bad, and a Zhuangzi can earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year. Compared with the income of Zhuangzi fields distributed in Shengcheng and the surrounding areas, it is almost the same.
It's just that the continued opening of the villa will inevitably require the recruitment of more people, the environment is good, and there must be no fewer people to serve, right? Is it possible to let the guests be self-sufficient after moving in, and not be able to boil water and cook by themselves?
Hehuan was sent to the tooth shop in the city and bought some honest and diligent, maids as long as they look average, not too good-looking, so as not to trouble, anyway, they don't plan to stay in Lingxiu Villa, as long as the people who bought it back are obedient, down-to-earth and willing to work, teach the basic rules a little, and there is no need to teach the superfluous ones in depth.
When they leave Liancheng, they will choose a reliable person from the mountain villa to be in charge, not to mention anything else, to ensure that this person will not repeat Wang Xi's mistakes.
At the beginning, when Wang Xi had the idea of wanting to make money from the villa, he was not unapprehensive, and he would be nervous and worried that he couldn't sleep if he didn't hand over the money, but he couldn't sleep because he was worried about the money, but he couldn't offset the greed in his heart, and found that no one came to take over the villa, and whether Zhuangzi changed hands or not would not affect his management, and his courage became bigger and bigger, and he gradually let go of his worries. All worries and worries have been left behind, and they have become at ease, thinking that they all deserve it, self-persuasion has no sense of guilt, and the mentality has changed, according to the results of the interrogation, it seems that the sum of the front and back has not exceeded a month, which shows how amazing the changes in people's hearts are in the face of interests.
This time, the villa has been completely renovated inside and out, even if he leaves Liancheng in the future, he must let Fengxian often send people over to keep an eye on it, and he has to change things every once in a while, and after staying in a high position for a long time, he will inevitably have some careful thoughts, and he can change people more often to ensure that there will be no second Wang Xi.
It's enough for a good villa to be polluted once, but you can't come back a second time, the renovation of the main courtyard also started after a batch of personnel were replaced, and those concubines who lived in the backyard were sent away together when they sent off the subordinate people in the village, and after those who were not indiscriminate were gone, Qin Shuang only felt that the air around him seemed to have become much fresher.
Qin Shuang also intends to let the people who stayed behind reveal part of the truth to the guests, so that they can understand that the real owner of the villa has arrived, and the person who was in charge of the village in the past was just a small steward, so that these people who often stay know who knows who the real owner of the villa is, right?
No matter who you ask, you can't say that the owner of Lingxiu Villa is a person named Wang Xi, too much!
It is also such a news, it is enough for many smart guests to understand some things, such as Lingxiu Villa This kind of place is a good place to visit the mountains and rivers, and occasionally live for a period of time during summer leisure, and it is not strange that the people of the main family do not live here for a long time, leaving a steward to take care of Zhuangzi, and as a result, the steward deceived the upper and lower levels, and made money from the villa on his own, and also put all the money earned in his pocket, and his behavior made many people angry.
Those who can afford to live in a good place like Lingxiu Villa are all people with status, and there are also people who have bought them at home, just imagine what would happen to them if their subordinates did this kind of thing? You've got to beat those dog minions to death! I have never heard that the master can deal with the slave at will, and I have not heard that the slave can arbitrarily control the master's property and use the master's things to make money for himself, which is an unbearable thing for those who are used to being the master.
When many people met Salvia and Mint, they reacted like they said that some guests euphemistically said that they must not tolerate this kind of slave, and they must be severely punished, and they must not be allowed to die too cheaply!
……
"If this Wang Xi uses his brain on the right path and reports these ideas he thinks to Fengxian, he will be a talent." Qin Shuang looked at the guest list that Hehuan had turned out, as well as the account books of the previous months, and sighed.
It's only been a year, and it's not like Ruyizhuang with endless fresh dishes and tricks, just with a villa can earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, which is not something that ordinary people can do, if Wang Xi is not a slave, he has some connections, such as Fengxian himself sitting in Lingxiu Villa, such a large amount of money will not be used to develop contacts, filial piety to those small businesses or ** products that Qin Shuang can't look down on at all, and even small officials who don't enter the stream.
After arresting Wang Xi and the others, Hehuan and a few others rummaged inside and outside the main courtyard, and found some private rooms that were hidden, and the box of silver tickets and jewelry that they found at the beginning did not add up to 100,000 taels, and most of the silver earned was used for filial piety, and some of them were squandered by the family of three and a few concubines.
As long as Qin Shuang thought that the money that should have belonged to him was lost by a few subordinates, he felt a pain in his liver for a while! Where is the money spent? Buy land, buy medicinal herbs, buy grain
12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!? Buy land, buy medicinal herbs, buy food, buy a few more Zhuangzi, and you can also buy a lot of good things for Tuan Tuan Reunion, even if it is used as a private house for them!
Ah Chen held the bottle in his hand, poured the hot water scalded goat's milk into it, and sent it to the babbling Tuan Tuan Yuanyuan's mouth, turned his head to look at Qin Shuang, who had a painful expression on his face, and comforted: "Anyway, the villa is here, and you can double the money in the future." ”
In the first year, there were not many guests in the first two months, even if someone stayed in, most of them were not people with many statuses, and it was also in these months, because Wang Cai honored many people who helped to tell good things about Lingxiu Villa, and spread the name of the villa more and more, and there were some people who seemed to have some identities in the guest list, and the list of these people was recorded in a separate booklet, which was easy to identify.
In the hands of a person like Wang Xi who has a bad character and a bad heart, the villa can make this money, and with his current reputation, if he changes to a person who is well-run, wouldn't he be able to double and earn more money on his basis?
They currently have a lot of total assets, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Xi has earned more than 200,000 taels of silver in the past year, they feel that it is a pity at most, they really can't get it back, and they won't be so distressed that they can't eat and sleep, anyway, they can earn more next year, right?
Qin Shuang pointed to the list of people who recorded Wang Xi's filial piety and said, "These people have all taken a big bargain. ”
Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are cheaper for these small merchant officials, it is one thing to be able to earn it back, and it is another thing to put so much money in vain, how can these people get so much silver? Is it just for nothing to let them get these cheap and do nothing?
Ah Chen said: "Since the news has been released, I believe that it won't be long before these people will know, and when the time comes, ......."
Qin Shuang tugged at the corners of her lips, leaned over to poke Tuan Tuanyuan's tender face, and snorted: "Even if you know, do you still expect them to give them filial piety because they are a slave, and they feel uneasy to take it, and return the money to us?" ”
Ah Chen couldn't help but smile: "I'm afraid it's impossible to let them spit out the money they got again." ”
"I thought of it a long time ago." Qin Shuang lifted her lips, looking unhappy.
"Although the money can't be spit out, we can use these people." Ah Chen looked at the identities of these people recorded on the list, and said: "After these people learned that Wang Xi was cleaned up by us, they should also think that we might find some evidence that they accepted bribes, if they don't want to be exposed by us, they will have to have some blood and avoid disaster, right?" ”
Most of the people who Wang Xi filial piety is the merchants who can be contacted when purchasing food and clothing supplies in the villa, as well as the small officials who need to open a business license certificate when the villa is an inn to make a living, and the officials who pay tax-related positions, etc., how much money between the merchants will not have too much trouble, but the officials who accept bribes are not the officials who enter the product, and it is easy to be dismissed directly, and the official career is completely ruined.
Wang Xi had to give them filial piety when he was in charge of the villa, but now that the villa has been reclaimed by Qin Shuang, it is necessary for these petty officials to open the door to them in turn in order to protect themselves.
Qin Shuang also thought of this, and finally showed a smile on her face, "In this way, that money is not completely a waste of money." "They also need to pay attention to all aspects of the development of the villa, and they also need to spend money, but they don't need to spend so much money, since the money has been spent by Wang Xi, they have to use other ways to get back as much as possible.
Not only does Lingxiu Villa need to be fished back, but by the way, the Ruyi Medicine Hall in Liancheng can also be wiped out.
"That's right." Thinking of the Ruyi Medicine Hall, Qin Shuang suddenly said: "In the past few days, we have been busy rectifying the villa, but we have always forgotten to go to the medicine hall to have a look, the people of the Ruyi Medicine Hall should know that Lingxiu Villa is also our industry, since we know, why didn't anyone tell the things in the villa?" ”
Ah Chen also reacted, and frowned unconsciously, "If you don't say it, I almost forgot, for so long, the people of the Liancheng Medicine Hall have not mentioned the changes in Lingxiu Villa, could it be that the shopkeeper of the Medicine Hall was also bought by Wang Xi?" ”
"Buy? was also 'honored' by Wang Xi with money? Qin Shuang's face was a little ugly.
"The possibility is very high, otherwise it can't explain why Feng Xian hasn't mentioned the matter of Lingxiu Villa to you for so long." If Fengxian really knew about Lingxiu Villa, it would be impossible to hide it from her, and if she didn't mention it, she really didn't know, and Liancheng obviously had Ruyi Medicine Hall but still no one mentioned the matter of the Villa, it could only be that Wang Xi and the shopkeeper of Ruyi Medicine Hall were on the line, and the two of them were wolf bèi.
Qin Shuang thought about it, took out the booklet that recorded the list of shopkeepers of Ruyi Medicine Hall in various places from his backpack, rummaged through it, and found the name of the shopkeeper of Liancheng Medicine Hall, it was a man named Zhou Fu, and then rummaged through the booklet of Wang Xi's record of filial piety, but he didn't find Zhou Fu's name.
Although they didn't find the name, the two didn't believe that this Zhou Fu and Wang Xi really had nothing to do with each other, in order to confirm whether their guess was correct, Ah Chen immediately called Hehuan and asked him to interrogate Wang Xi again, and ask him about the matter with the shopkeeper of Ruyi Medicine Hall.
It was also because they didn't expect this stubble before, otherwise they would have been able to ask all the questions directly in one breath when they interrogated Wang Xi before.
It only took Hehuan less than half an hour to report the results of the interrogation, and the fact was indeed not unexpected by Qin Shuang and Ah Chen, Zhou Fu had indeed been in cahoots with Wang Xiwolf Bèi, and it was also a fact that he received Wang Xi's money, but, what made an exception for them was that this Zhou Fu and Wang Xi were actually cousins, quite close cousins who did not come out of Wufu!
Since it can be called a family, it is no wonder that Wang Xi hid it, after all, Wang Xi earns more, so he can get more benefits with it! The salary of the shopkeeper of Ruyi Medicine Hall is not a lot, after Qin Shuang took over the medicine hall, the salary of all the shopkeepers of the medicine hall is two points higher than when the Su family was in charge, the Su family has a big business, and the amount of wages given is already a lot, and she has increased it a little, so that
12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!
Some, it is impossible to enjoy such treatment in any medicine hall, that is, this Zhou Fu is not satisfied, seeing that Wang Xi has made a lot of money, he wants to make a fortune together, and it is not a good thing to help conceal it.
One by one, they all came to this set of tricks to deceive and conceal them, and Qin Shuang and Ah Chen felt that they couldn't say anything.
"It seems that it is not only the mountain villa that needs to be rectified, but also the medicine hall." Ah Chen said in a deep voice.
Qin Shuang said: "This is the case in Lotus City, and there may not be similar situations in other places, and if there is a chance, we have to let Fengxian patrol the medicine halls in various places in the future." "There is such a disadvantage that the industry is too big, it is too far away to understand the situation at any time, and if the semicolon people do not take the initiative to report, they will not be able to grasp the accurate news in time.
In ancient times, the traffic was extremely inconvenient, and it is estimated that all the industries were inspected in a circle, and half a year had passed.
"Let's go to the medicine hall tomorrow and take a look, by the way, let Baizhu go over and keep an eye on it, lest Zhou Fu get the news and run away first." Wang Xi was arrested, and Zhou Fu might be worried that he would also be implicated, so he fled directly with the money.
"I don't know how much benefit Zhou Fu got from Wang Xi this time, he was caught, maybe we can get some back." Moreover, Zhou Fu was just hired by the shopkeeper, and he didn't sell himself to them, so they couldn't dispose of people casually without permission, so they could only send people to the official for investigation, which was also very troublesome.
Externally hired people, lack of loyalty, easy to eat inside and outside, people who bought back, there is also Wang Xi, a bastard who is greedy for money with his life, so that Qin Shuang doesn't know how to recruit people to try to prevent similar situations from happening.
In the early morning of the next day, Qin Shuang and Ah Chen had just fed the reunion, and when they were having breakfast, Baizhu, who had been sent out to supervise the movements of the Ruyi Medicine Hall, came back, and brought back an unexpected news.
Zhou Fu heard about the movements of Lingxiu Villa in the past few days, and sure enough, he packed his luggage and wanted to run away, when Baizhu passed, he happened to be packing his bags and preparing to leave overnight, if Qin Shuang and Ah Chen remembered such a stubble a little later, maybe they would really let this stump run!
The person was tied up and locked in the Ruyi Medicine Hall and did not bring it back, and after the meal, the two took the reunion and the Hehuan Atractylodes to the medicine hall, and the salvia, mint and Xin Yi were left in the villa.
The four big and two small ones who just left didn't know that as soon as they left with their front feet, a wave of guests came from the back feet of the villa.
