"Young master, your house is a little damp and gloomy, I see if it can be renovated."

"No need, my uncle is now in charge of the affairs of the Su Mansion, and he is still thinking about where he needs money more, and I am already very good here."

"Did the young master temporarily move to the east courtyard to live?"

Su Tiancheng shook his head, the courtyard in the east used to be where Su Huawen and his eldest wife, Su Tianhao, Su Tianran and others lived, the conditions were indeed much better, the sun was abundant, the pavilions and pavilions, the small bridges and flowing water, there was a different world, but he lived in the south with his subordinates. Although Su Huawen and the eldest lady and others have left Pingyang Mansion City and gone to Taiyuan Mansion City, this courtyard is still empty and no one lives there.

With the passage of time, Su Tiancheng has more and more cases of knowing the road, fortunately, he is a traverser, he used to work in state organs, and he is also a leading cadre, and he has experienced a lot of winds and waves.

"Some of the situations in the Su Mansion that the young master asked about last time, I recalled carefully, when I came to the Su Mansion, I directly followed the third wife, the third wife was kind, and she was very good to us subordinates, but in some cases, I am a subordinate, and it is not good to ask too much, so as not to trespass."

"Over the past so many years, I have always missed my mother very much, thinking of asking my uncle and knowing more about Lu Dao's mother, but I don't even know what Lu Dao's mother looks like."

Su Pingyang also lowered his head, what the young master said was the actual situation, when he was just born, the third wife passed away, of course it was impossible to see it, and it was impossible to remember what the third wife looked like.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things, what does my uncle think needs to pay attention to in this house?"

Su Pingyang raised his head, he was well-informed, and naturally knew what problems existed in Su Mansion, he was at the bottom before, and his understanding of these situations was even more profound, these days, he had talked with the young master many times, and he was surprised to find that the young master actually had some unusual understanding, of course, the young master was a scholar, and the Wenqu stars in the sky descended to earth, and it was natural to be powerful. But the young master's personality has changed too much, he is resolute and decisive, and he sees the problem very accurately, it seems that he is a different person.

Su Pingyang thinks that this is the third wife's knowledge underground, bless the young master.

"Young master, I think it's good to maintain it like this for now."

Su Tiancheng frowned slightly, this can't blame Su Pingyang, there must be a problem in Su Mansion, but the eldest lady is still in charge, although she is not in Pingyang Mansion City, but she remotely commands all matters here, even if it is the subordinates in the mansion, most of them obey the eldest lady, and they have not been able to establish real authority.

But the situation in Sufu must be changed, since my father and the eldest wife and others have moved to Taiyuan Fucheng, they will not come back easily, this is where they settle down, at least before they achieve fame, they are all living here, a lot of things, to come step by step, the Su Mansion in Pingyang Fucheng, firmly controlled in their own hands, is the most critical thing, imagine that the people in the house, on the surface, obey their own arrangements, but in fact, they are looking at the eldest wife, how to do things with peace of mind.

And this thing has to be fast, not muddy.

"Uncle, don't worry about anything, isn't it just the eldest mother, if there is anything, I can naturally deal with it, in the current situation, what to do or how to do it."

"What the young master said is that there are now a total of thirty-five subordinates in the mansion, all of whom are distributed in a few important places, there are eighteen people in the kitchen, there are three people on the young master's side, ten people who clean and clean up the east yard, two people who go to the miscellaneous house, and the rest are housekeepers, such a distribution is indeed a bit inappropriate."

"Uncle tell me how to change."

"There are too few people around the young master, now I am in charge of the affairs of the house, the young master's side, in fact, is the second child, my mother-in-law is old, and she is not so neat in doing things, and the young master doesn't want her to do things, many things are done by the young master himself, I can't stand it, this is not good."

"Uncle, don't say that, my aunt is old, she has taken care of me for so many years, and she should be happy, take care of me, definitely don't do it, I'm still thinking about whether to arrange for the maid to be by my aunt's side and take care of the living and eating."

"Young master, don't do this, no matter what, we are all subordinates, there are no maids around the young master, and maids are arranged around the subordinates, this is rumored to be rumored, others say that I don't understand the rules."

Su Tiancheng smiled.

"Uncle, don't worry so much, identity is not immutable, there are some things, I will deal with it quickly, I have an idea, uncle to see if it is suitable."

"Young master, just say, I'll just do it."

"Uncle is old, he has been in the Su family for so many years, he is familiar with all the situation, see if what I said makes sense, there are thirty-six people in the Su Mansion now, this is including me, my uncle is in charge of everything in the house, my aunt rests at ease, Su Ertong follows me, there are thirty-two people left, Su Jun is still a housekeeper in name, including Yuhuan, there are still thirty people left, ten people are needed to clean the courtyard in the east, such an arrangement is simply a bastard, there are two people who clean enough, there are no residents, and there is no need to clean every day, at most twice a month. ”

Su Pingyang looked at Su Tiancheng and revealed an incredible expression, what is wrong with the young master, daring to pluck the hair on the tiger's mouth.

"Sufu covers an area of nearly 300 acres, such a big place, it is said that more than 30 people are far from enough, but I have thought about it, there must be people who have a role, otherwise even if it is ten people, it is too much, my consideration, everyone needs to be relocated, in the kitchen, there is no need for so many people, at most five people, there are not many people who eat, eighteen people cook for eighteen people, if the big families are arranged like this, in the kitchen, it is estimated that they will not be able to stand."

"As for how to arrange it, I haven't thought about it clearly, I'm not very familiar with the things in the house, and I didn't care about it before, so I asked my uncle to worry more, my uncle didn't come forward, I thought of something, and told me, I'll do it, most of the more than 30 people in this house are going to be arranged to go to Taiyuan Fucheng."

"Childe, don't do this, if the eldest lady loses her temper, it's not easy to clean up."

"Ha Luha, what is my uncle worried about, can it be said that if the eldest lady doesn't give me money, I won't be able to live, I can't solve such a small matter, how can I gain a foothold in Su Mansion, I really think, my aunt came to the mansion earlier, and there are some things that are completely clear."

Su Pingyang, who was sitting at the bottom, almost didn't hold it, could it be that the young master was going to do business in the future, this is absolutely not good, the young master still has to study.

"Young master, my master has been in business for many years, I think that young master should not think about such a thing."

"Uncle has something to say, even if he says it clearly in the future, my uncle is worried that I will abandon my studies and devote myself to business, but no."

Su Tiancheng smiled and shook his head.

"I have to take the township exam next year, I must not be able to delay my studies, I am not in favor of studying to death, some people said, there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book, but I think that there is no food in the books, if I am hungry, wear less clothes, feel cold, and keep a bunch of books, it is never a good way, and applying what I have learned is the real way to read."

Su Pingyang was a little excited, he completely understood what the young master said.

"What the young master means, I understand, but for so many years, the young master has been studying hard, I still think that after the young master participates in the township examination, he will think about other things, if there is anything in the house, I will deal with it directly, that is, the eldest lady is to blame, and I will bear it together."

"If you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world, don't talk about this matter, uncle, I've made up my mind."

Su Pingyang looked at Su Tiancheng and found that Su Tiancheng's eyes were clear, with a hint of perseverance.

"It's October now, and the grain has been harvested for a long time, and I don't know how much grain there is in the house."

"The grain stock is enough, I have cleaned it up in the past few days, and there are still 30 stone of rice and 50 stone of wheat flour, save some and maintain it until September next year, it is okay."

Su Tiancheng closed his eyes and calculated, one stone is equivalent to 189 catties, and there are more than 15,000 catties of grain in the house, which are evenly distributed to each person's head, which is exactly 420 catties of grain. Besides, Su Tiancheng still wanted to recruit some people, and this bit of food was definitely not enough.

The next few years were a famine, and the government had to store enough grain, and it was necessary to make money through grain trading.
