Thank you to the alcoholic boss! Today, your chapter in the founding thief makes Yunming very happy! )

(Or say it here, which brother has not collected it, please collect it, and send a few flowers if you have it!) There is only one month during the new book list, and it will be on the shelves on the 31st, which is not as good as those books that are still stuck in 100,000 words for two months, I hope that next week this book can really sit on the new book list of the whole site for a week, popularity is very important, so Yun Ming is here to thank the brothers who read this book! Your support is important to me, really important! )

"Xiao Yu, this is the way of business, the first is integrity, but the way of being a person, the first is tolerance, you have many problems in sorting out this account, I already know! I also know what Na Lu Cai did before, and when he comes back later, you can hand over to him, so you don't have to dig too deep! From now on, the accounts must be clear, do you understand? Lu Shaobei said with an extremely shrewd look on his face after carefully reviewing the purchase and purchase accounts sorted out by Shang Yu.

"Master, do you mean to prevent the apprentice from pursuing the matter of Lu Cai's embezzlement of the Bank of China in the Mo Mansion in the past three years? Why is that? Shang Yu asked extremely puzzled, in his opinion, this dereliction of duty and greed for ink is simply an unforgivable crime, if he does not explain it to the head of the family, Lu Weixuan, it is simply unjustifiable from the conscience.

"Xiao Yu, I told you a long time ago, you are too wooden, you don't know how to be flexible! That's where you're most worried. Na Lu Cai is Lu Fu's own brother, and he is a loyal servant of several generations in Lu Mansion, except for greedy for small wealth, there is nothing wrong with it! And the old man knew that they had some unclean hands and feet, but he didn't investigate it, and it was also for this reason. Lu Shaobei said with a smile.

Shang Yu still didn't quite understand what Lu Shaobei meant, so he couldn't help but ask: "Then the matter of greedy ink and silver is just like that?" Could it be that this kind of behavior has become a matter of course? For Lu Shaobei's words, he didn't understand it very much, and he also had some negative meaning.

"You kid, this is arguing with me, you still listen to me tell you, you, the manager of buying a house, I asked the master to come, do you think you can get this status just because you saved the second lady? Originally, I wanted to wait for the young master to take the big exam before letting you do this housekeeping, but I didn't expect that something happened to the second young lady, and the young master also wanted to return to Zhouzhuang because of the official learning to steal his article, so the master took advantage of the situation to push you to this position. Lu Shaobei looked at Shang Yu with a playful smile on his face and said.

Shang Yu was stunned for a while after hearing this, and then said in a snort: "I see, while I was recuperating from my injuries, I felt that it was a little too incomprehensible for the master to let me take over the management of the house, I was young, and I had not been in the house for a long time, even if I had saved the second lady by mistake, the master would reward me with some silver taels at most, and it would be impossible for me to be promoted to be the manager, it turned out that this was the arrangement made by the master!" ”

Lu Shaobei nodded, and then said: "Xiao Yu, there are nearly a thousand people in this Lu Mansion, and there are nearly 100 people in the Lu clan alone, this kind of environment is the most conducive to your tempering, I let you do this steward not just to make you a person who manages accounts, but to make you a businessman who is proficient in the way of management and the way of controlling people." First and foremost, the first step is to truly learn to be inclusive. ”

"The way of management and the way of maneuvering? You've mentioned that this way of doing business is the way to manage the accounts and make profits, and to take the simplest and best way to get the best results at a very small cost. But what about the way to control people? The more Shang Yu listened, the more he felt that what Lu Shaobei said had nothing to do with letting Lu Fu go and embezzle ink and silver, and he couldn't help but ask even more puzzled.

"Hey! Judging from various talents, Xiao Yu, you are a genius, but you are not tactful enough! In this regard, the junior is many times stronger than you, and when you have time, you will go back to the inn to ask your brother-in-law for advice, maybe it is also a necessary process to let you suffer some setbacks! ”

"It's just that you don't have to talk to the lord about this Lu Fu thing, remember a word for the teacher, in today's world, mercenary people abound, if you can tend to be profit-free, a little control of people, you can learn the art of controlling people, you can manage your life, you can run a business and can be in the officialdom, you can settle the country, and control the lives of tens of millions of people! This is the ultimate power of the way to control people! If you can't solve this point, you can only become a person who cultivates mathematics, and you can't become a great weapon! Lu Shaobei sighed, glanced at Shang Yu with some concern, and said.

After Shang Yu heard this, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face, and he muttered, "The art of controlling people? Small can manage life, medium can manage business and officialdom, and can control the lives of tens of millions of people. Thinking of this, Shang Yu couldn't help but stop, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"Master! Isn't the last way of land management that you talked about the art of the earth emperor that was mentioned and recorded in the hundred schools of thought in ancient times? Shang Yu's heart floated up with a content of the Emperor's Technique that was hundreds of words long.

"The ultimate in the art of controlling people is the art of the emperor, if you have time, you can think about it and seek knowledge, I didn't expect you to think of this, it seems that the teacher is too worried! It's just that the Emperor's technique is too general, you have time to talk more with your brother-in-law, Xiaosi, or maybe have more practical understanding! As a teacher, I am going to see the master, and I can't talk to you much here! Remember, I have allocated you the money to buy the house and the monthly money of the guy, and I hope you can manage it well. Hearing that Shang Yu could say the words "Emperor's Technique", Lu Shaobei couldn't help but say with relief, and stood up and prepared to leave.

"Apprentice Shang Yu sends off the master!" Shang Yu immediately saluted Lu Shaobei and sent Lu Shaobei out of the small courtyard where the house was purchased.

After sending Lu Shaobei away, Shang Yu didn't even care about the lunch sent by a Lu Mansion Yahuan, and he didn't finish the accounts until nearly mid-afternoon, then Lu Cai came back, his face looked weird, Shang Yu looked at him and was really angry, because Lu Cai had been greedy for thousands of taels of silver in the past three years, and he deliberately made the accounts chaotic when he did the accounts.

It's just that because Lu Shaobei had something to say before, and Shang Yu also didn't know anything about Lu Shaobei's words, he had to endure his anger and sign the handover book, but before he finally handed over the handover book, he asked Lu Cai to sign and mark the account book that he had sorted out.

After Lu Cai came back with some trepidation, he saw that Shang Yu did not challenge him about the problems in the previous accounts, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and finally walked out with the handover book satisfied.

After sending Lu Cai away, Shang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "Finally sorted out the accounts!" It's just that the order of purchasing and the way of preserving items in this house is a little inappropriate, and I should think of a proper way to do this. ”

"The monthly purchase cost is about two thousand taels, if you use a new way, you can save nearly two hundred taels of silver at the very least, there are five guys in this purchase house, who are responsible for the transportation of goods in the five departments of the prefecture, and you have to go outside with me to buy, and at the end of the month, you should go to the market to buy a lot of items!"

At that moment, he calculated a list of the items needed for the next month in the account book, and copied a copy of it with a piece of rice paper, and copied the names of the fellows on it.

After doing this, he picked up the rice bowl on the table, picked up the dishes and began to eat, although the food was cold at this time, but Shang Yu, a fourteen-year-old child, actually directly became the manager, naturally a little complacent, this heart is comfortable, this meal actually feels the most fragrant in his life.

After eating, Shang Yu drank a cup of tea, but felt that he was in a good mood, so he walked out of the steward's room with the list of items in his hand, stood in the courtyard and shouted: "Ding Seventeen, Gou Chongjiu, Mu Thirteen, Lu Yiba, Shan Deming, please follow me out of the house and go to the market to buy!" ”

He shouted at the room where the guy lived on the side of the steward's room, but after shouting this time, there was no response inside, which made Shang Yu a little puzzled, so he called the names of these people again.

"Shout anything, we'll be out right away!"

"Yes! He told us to go out on the first day of his arrival, and if Steward Lu was there, he would not have woken us up at noon! It's annoying! ”

"Yo, little steward, you want to go out to buy on your first day in office today?" Several voices of different thicknesses came, causing Shang Yu to frown.

Later, the five guys walked out of the room slowly and reluctantly, seeing that their clothes were all messy, obviously they had just been lying down with their clothes, and they were woken up by Shang Yu.

"Brothers, although my Shang Yu is young, but since I have done the steward here, I have to do things for the house, this is the time, it is the moment when the market is not much crowded, some things I have to say, if I can do my part, I Shang Yu will not treat you badly, if you can't obey, then in addition to halving the monthly money, I don't mind selecting someone from the house to buy a house here to replace you!" Shang Yu's several guys of different ages who were tall, short, fat and thin were so unreasonable, and couldn't help but say with a hint of anger.

"Yo! Steward, what's the matter, you're threatening us? We are carefully selected buying partners by the Lu steward, and if we only say that we are very familiar with the merchants in the city, you can't do anything! If we find someone to replace us, then replace us! I'm going to see how you end up. A thin man with a shrill voice and a somewhat pale face said to Shang Yu with some dissatisfaction.

His name is Ding Seventeen, he has been in Lu Mansion for sixteen years, he is thirty-three this year, and he has been a man in the purchase of a house for five years, and he is one of Lu Fu's most powerful subordinates.

At this time, Lu Fu was transferred, but the new steward who came was a milky child, he thought that he could succeed Lu Fu as the steward, he was naturally unconvinced, plus Shang Yu quarreled with their nap, and called to them, he was naturally a little dissatisfied, so he made a mockery of Shang Yu, and it was true that as he said, these five guys were very familiar with the mastery of the markets and shops in Quanzhou Prefecture, if they were temporarily replaced, Shang Yu would definitely be in a hurry.

The other guys all looked at Shang Yu with a funny expression, and they also felt that it was too unbelievable for Shang Yu, a little kid, to be in charge, and they were all waiting to see Shang Yu's jokes.

Shang Yu couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart after hearing this, but he immediately thought of a good idea in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "If you really want to, then I will resign you, and I don't need to find someone to replace you, only four of you can share the extra salary among the other brothers, I believe that the other brothers will definitely agree to this idea!" ”

"Hey, hey! Divide you first, just a few family members, do you want to bully me? "This is a method that Shang Yu got from the old steward in the warehouse near the dock, the old steward was young, just became a steward, and many people disagreed with him, and the method of using the land at that time was to resign a few people, and then divide the silver two to the others, and finally although there were fewer people, but all the work was also completed, and since then the old steward has established a leading position.

Hearing Shang Yu's words, Ding Shiqi's face turned red suddenly, he didn't expect Shang Yu to really invite him out of the purchase of the house, and there was no need for anyone to replace him, which meant to drive him out of the Lu Mansion, which was greatly unexpected by him.

"How can you do that? Without me, you wouldn't be able to buy those hundreds of house supplies before the end of the month, so you won't be able to do this job for long! Ding Qiqi couldn't help blushing and said, he still didn't believe that Shang Yu would fire him.

"That's good, I won't dismiss you before I come back, I only need to take one person out, and I can complete the scheduled project purchased today, Mu Thirteen, you go to the stables and call a carriage to wait in front of the house, and we will go out!" Shang Yu's next words were even more surprising.

Shang Yu was calling the young man who was about his age, and it seemed that he was standing at the back, as if he had the lowest status among the five.

"What? Just one person to buy? Ding Seventeen, who had thought that he was going to dismiss him, suddenly forgot his anger and showed an expression of disbelief.

The other three were also very surprised, only the young man named Mu Thirteen agreed and walked outside the courtyard gate, he went to the stable to call a car, and purchased a horse carriage for procurement, and the carriage was huge, which was specially customized by Lu Mansion for procurement.

Shang Yu turned around and said with a smile: "Ding Seventeen, I have no prejudice against you, but you are so rude to me, and encourage everyone to be passive and sabotage, when I come back, I will convince you, and in the future, there will only be four family members to buy a house, and I will divide your salary equally among the four of them, please rest assured!" ”

After Shang Yu finished speaking, he turned around and walked out with the purchase list in his hand, and he ignored the four people led by Ding Seventeen behind him.

"That's unreasonable! No, let's go to Steward Lu and Steward Lu immediately, where is anyone so in charge? He's so small, he knows a fart! If he is allowed to come here with the purchase of nearly 1,000 people in the whole house, wouldn't it be a mess? Ding Qiqi wanted the three family members around him to go with him to complain to Brother Lu Cai, but he suddenly found that the three family members who were very respectful to him involuntarily stepped back and distanced themselves from him, and they were all looking at him with strange eyes, and they didn't say a word.

"What are you doing here? Do you actually believe that the little bastard's words can complete the purchase with Mu Thirteen? That's a joke! Ding Seventeen saw that there seemed to be something wrong with the expressions of the three family members, and couldn't help but say with some annoyance.

"I'm sorry, Brother Ding, if you don't buy a house, then our monthly money will rise by nearly four dollars of silver, I think we should still help that little steward!"

"Yes! Brother Ding, when we listened to the little butler in the room to send Mr. Lu away, we called him master, you also know the relationship between Mr. Lu and the master, this little butler must be very popular with Mr. Lu, we helped him, and we can increase some monthly money! It's worth it. ”

"Brother Ding, I'm sorry! I think the little butler did the right thing, too! The last Ding Ding, who was about the same age as Ding Qiqi, straightened the hat on his head, shook his head at Ding Qiqi with apologies on his face, turned around and chased after the two slightly younger family members who were heading towards the courtyard gate in front.

"You bastards! Wait until I go to Steward Lu and Steward Lu, if I replace that little bastard, I will definitely transfer you to clean the hundreds of toilets in the house every day! Ding Qiqi saw that several famous people who had always been obedient to him on weekdays treated him like this, and couldn't help but roar angrily behind them.
