readx;
In Jia Wei's thoughts, the Grand View Garden should be a paradise for sisters and sisters, including the maids, free and unrestrained, and if you really want to divide the primary and secondary, this is the main one, and everything else is secondary. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Without waiting for Tanchun to speak, he paused and continued, "...... If it comes to the Xingli Festival, there are many places in the Fuzhong Xingli Festival, which is really the case, where can you not search for a few dollars? Third sister, I know that you are thinking about the public school, but this move really does not help, but disturbs the life in the garden...... In recent years, our government has earned 130,000 or 40,000 taels of silver a year, but it has spent more than 150,000 taels...... Now they are all relying on the savings of the old year, and I don't know how many more years they can make......"
"The second brother is not right, don't you hear the truth of gathering sand into a tower and gathering armpits into a fur, because there are many places in the house for the Xingli Festival, dozens of taels here, hundreds of taels there, if it is a good life, maybe these deficits will be made up, maybe there is a surplus...... That being the case, our garden naturally has to be moved, can't our garden not move and move somewhere else? In fact, Sister Feng has also cut some expenses in the past two years, and now she has to start cutting it again, so she is also very happy when she heard that we are going to follow Lai Jiazi's practice! ”
The income and expenditure of the public middle school, the detailed accounts are naturally not clear to everyone, but the general entry and exit is not a secret, we all know that it is not far from ten, the number Jia Wei said, Tanchun has no objection, but for Jia Wei's statement, he disagrees, and immediately retorts.
Jia Wei didn't mind, on the contrary, he admired this third sister very much, not only did she plan for the family wholeheartedly, but she was also quite insightful, which can be described as outstanding, and smiled, "Third sister, listen to me...... As the saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, our Rongfu has lived a rich life for several lifetimes, with more and more people, more and more pomp, and more and more friends and entertainments outside...... When it comes to saving, everyone also knows that in fact, in the hands of the old lady and wife, it has been a rainy day, cutting some expenses, although it is only better than nothing, but at that time the income of the public middle school was more than now, so there was still a surplus, and the treasury in the house was sufficient...... Now, not to mention the provincial concubine, this garden was built, and a lot of treasury silver was consumed, and the annual income and expenditure alone were all in deficit, and the amount was huge...... The situation is very different......"
“…… It is not easy to open source, so there is only throttling, and the reason is like this...... However, how can it be cut again, in the hands of the old lady and wife, it is said that there are several cuts, mainly the number of maids in each room, saving six or seven hundred taels of silver, and counting several items together, it will save thousands of taels of silver...... In Sister Feng's hands, she cut a few more items, and the total was only a thousand taels of silver...... At the moment, there is almost no way to cut ......"
"You put forward the idea of gardening, Sister Feng can't ask for it...... But as far as I can see, after all, it is limited, after all, there is no longer any regular practice, and the old lady and Mrs. have also said that if they cut too hard, they will lose the dignity of people like us...... Therefore, we can only temporarily cut some items, such as replacing the old chair covers everywhere, and push it to next year......"
"Therefore, what the third sister said, gathering armpits into Qiu Yunyun, is a very good idea, but it no longer works in our house...... A few hundred taels of silver were filled into this hole in vain, but in the end it was useless...... That being the case, I still say that there is no need to restrict our daily life for the sake of this unhelpful act. ”
Before these words were different, it was equivalent to a rough analysis of the current financial and factual predicament of the Rong Mansion, and put this unsolvable problem in front of everyone, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy, Tanchun and the others looked at each other, and they were all silent.
The mandarin duck sitting over there also looked over at this moment, she had been by the old lady's side for many years, and she almost knew everything about the situation in the house, what Jia Wei said, she agreed very much, and couldn't help nodding secretly.
"Then, according to what the second brother said, won't the public middle school last for a few years? At this point, what is there to be afraid of, some of the usual rules of food and clothing, ushering in the delivery can not be cut, others are not necessarily, such as the outside account, this year to manage something, the master has a full point, they will get half a point, this is the old practice of the family, everyone knows, if you want to cut, it is not that you can't cut ......"
"In addition, these accounts are openly and secretly stealing, and they all make money from the public school, and if this is blocked, there will be a lot of more money in the account...... I'm just giving you an example, and so on, and so on, and there are a lot of them, so why can't they be cut? In other words, it means not wanting to offend people...... Could it be that seeing it go on like this, the public is embarrassed, and it is not resolute? After a moment of silence, Tanchun spoke again.
Jia Wei saw that he was not in a hurry to answer, picked up the teacup and took two sips, before smiling and saying, "Third sister, what you said, even the old lady has one eye open and one eye closed, let alone Sister Feng...... Therefore, it is impossible to say it...... In fact, if everyone's interests are really moved, not only will it not help in the end, but the situation will be worse......"
He knew that this third sister dared to act boldly, was very courageous, and was considered a fat fan hero, but after all, due to his age and experience, some things were not seen thoroughly, so he reminded him slightly.
"Why is it worse?" Hearing the words "The old lady opens one eye and closes one eye", Tanchun realized something, but he still couldn't fully understand Jia Wei's words.
"It's okay if you don't touch a tree that is about to be hollowed out, but if you touch it, it will only fall faster...... At the moment, the public is like this, in fact, it's nothing, and when it really can't be maintained, it's a big deal to fall down, and they accept their fate, but when they don't fall, they don't want to let go...... Third sister, have you figured it out? ”
"I kind of get it...... Second brother, is this really inevitable? ”
"Inevitably." Jia Wei said with certainty, "It is always difficult to return to the accumulation of shortcomings, especially at this point, it is better to turn a blind eye...... It's just that if this continues, all the property in the public will be consumed, and the land and houses will be sold and the utensils pawned in order to be maintained...... But that's the way it is, knowing that this is going to happen, it's still going to continue......"
ps: The person who manages the accounts, what is in charge of this year, the master has a full share, they will get half a share, this is the old practice of the family, everyone knows, other steals outside, now this garden is my new creation, don't even enter their hands, return the account every year, and return it to the inside...... This passage is the original text, which shows the boldness of Tanchun's words.
