Chapter 17 Remuneration for Positions

It is undeniable that there is indeed such a kind of person who sells the children of good families.

However, there are many conditions that need to be met, such as the seller is a bully, the person being sold owes money, and he will not protect his rights and interests honestly, and the buyer must be a bad gentleman who lacks moral restraint and does not care about public opinion.

Now these three conditions are not valid, so this kind of thing cannot happen to Xu Yuanzuo.

Xu Yuanzuoan listened quietly and did not interject in a hurry.

After Xu Cheng remembered for a while, he looked at Xu Yuanzuo and said with a smile: "You are really as Mr. Lu said, calm." ”

"Mr. has won the prize." Xu Yuanzuo slightly controlled his back towards Xu Cheng and Lu Fuzi.

"Don't you want to ask me why I'm hiring?" Xu Cheng looked at Xu Yuanzuo again, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"You don't need to know." Xu Yuanzuo said bluntly: "What does the master want me to do, just tell me the results to be achieved." As for why you want to do it, that's the master's business. How to do it, that's a small matter. If you can't do the master's orders, you are small and incompetent. Xiao Ke has no bright mind, only knows this. ”

"Wow!" Xu Cheng sighed: "Very good, very good!" ”

Lu Fuzi looked proud, and said helpfully: "How is this son?" ”

"Okay." Xu Cheng said: "I can rest assured of such a person." ”

Lu Fuzi looked at Xu Yuanzuo and said as if pleading: "You haven't thanked Steward Xu yet?" ”

"Thank you, Master Xu." Xu Yuanzuo said: "But Xiao Ke is also afraid that he will delay the master's errand and fall into the master's reputation." Please also tell me what you can do and what kind of process you can do. ”

Xu Cheng stroked his beard and smiled, "He is a reliable person." Only then did he say: "That's it, my lord has returned to his hometown this year, do you know?" ”

"The return of the old man to his hometown is a local event, so he naturally knows it." Xu Yuanzuo said.

"The second young master of my family built a mansion for the master in Xia Wei, ready to give the old man a good day." Xu Cheng said slowly: "It's just across the Litahui (Litahui) River, and it's not far from Xiaosteam. ”

Xu Cheng continued: "But this house is a little inappropriate. The place is big, and there are not many houses. After the old man came back, he was not satisfied, so it was equivalent to wasting money in vain. ”

Xu Yuanzuo nodded slightly, indicating understanding.

There are not many people who can meet the elder of the pavilion, Xu Jie seems to be a wolf who left Beijing and lost to Gao Gong in the political battle, but soon people will be able to realize the energy of this minister, even if he is retired at home, it is easy to deal with one or two governors of the imperial history. Therefore, the nursing home prepared by the Xu family for the old man will definitely not build too many houses, but spend the silver on the garden landscape.

The money spent on the garden is much more expensive than building a house, not to mention anything else, the Taihu Lake stone alone is difficult to estimate. If you transplant a few more precious flowers and trees, the garden will be priceless.

If Xu Ge Lao didn't want to live there, this house would be empty - not many rich people would be able to buy it. And the Xu family must not be able to sell at a loss, otherwise the loss of money is small, and it will make people question the filial piety of the Xu family's children to the old Shoufu!

Xu Yuanzuo faintly felt that this matter was a little tricky.

"This garden is not going to let the slaves in, even if the Xu family is a big family, they don't have spare money to support so many people in vain." Xu Cheng was a little more angry when he spoke: "With this kind of thing, do you know what I'm going to recruit people for?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo hung his head and said in a low voice: "Forgive me, master, Xiao Ke still doesn't know." ”

"You!" Xu Cheng suddenly became angry and looked at Master Lu.

Lu Fuzi looked embarrassed: "Why are you stupid at a critical time?" Of course, it is up to you to come forward and find some short-term workers and healthy women to clean up the garden. He paused: "This errand is simple and easy to do, but the position salary is high, it is clear that Mr. Xu promoted you!" ”

Xu Yuanzuo showed a simple smile: "Master, do such a trivial matter, dare to ask how high the salary of the position can be?" ”

Xu Cheng coughed dryly, got up and said to Master Lu: "Forgive me, change clothes." He ignored Xu Yuanzuo and walked out of the flower hall.

Lu Fuzi knew that Xu Cheng deliberately left him to make his words clear, and hated that iron could not become steel: "You come here." Xu Yuanzuo had no choice but to move forward. Lu Fuzi held back his anger and said, "Do you know what the origin of this Xu Cheng is?" ”

"I don't know, student." Of course, Xu Yuanzuo couldn't have known about such a nobody.

"He's Xu Ge's old housekeeper!" Lu Fuzi said bitterly: "I am also a friend of a childhood playmate with him, otherwise how could I get such a good job!" ”

Xu Yuanzuo patted the thick door of his head: "I see." He has been accompanying the elder in Beijing, but when he came back, he found that the housekeeper and steward at home were all occupied, and he had no help inside and outside, so he was sent here to care for the elderly, and by the way, he was given a chicken rib-like garden to disgust him. ”

"You're smart!" Lu Fuzi also smacked the shiny head and said in a low voice: "When the elder Ge left Beijing, he was a little wolf...... He did not have any reliable men, and it happened that I came to him and remembered about you, so I said that. ”

"Master," Xu Yuanzuo said seriously, "the key is still those four words: position salary." ”

Lu Fuzi was speechless, so he had to say: "The biggest in the Xu family firm is the big shopkeeper, that is, the two stewards. Underneath the big shopkeeper is the shopkeeper of each store. Under the shopkeeper, there are two shopkeepers and three shopkeepers in the big store. And then there's the bookkeeper. Below the ledger is the man. The guys also have three, six, nine and so on, and the bottom is the apprentice, who has food and accommodation for three years, and does not have a penny to take. As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Yuanzuo, and it was clear that he was suing him, and now he had saved at least three years of apprenticeship.

Xu Yuanzuo was not satisfied with this, and still waited for him to continue.

"After three years of study, you can listen to miscellaneous errands, and you can make up for it with a little money every month, which is called a young man." Lu Fuzi continued: "Another three years of young men, smart and clever, no mistakes, can follow the big guys to learn to do business, this is called a standing cabinet." Standing in the cabinet for three years, the shopkeeper nodded, and he was a big guy! ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "Thank you, Master, for letting me be this big guy directly?" ”

"How dare you be greedy!" Lu Fuzi raised his eyebrows: "I'll talk to Steward Xu about it, and then they will nod and give you a station." At least wait until you learn the rules of the Xu family, and then go to your big guy's dream! ”

Xu Yuanzuo lowered his head slightly and said, "The salary ......?"

"It's called salary when you do the bookkeeper, and the guy only has salary." Lu Fuzi said angrily: "I will cover food and lodging every month, and give three dollars and five cents of silver." ”

Xu Yuanzuo touched his nose and rolled his eyes to the sky: "That's it, let me think about it......"

Lu Fuzi was almost furious, just when he saw Xu Cheng coming back, he pressed it down, and he still couldn't help but scold in his heart: This cub doesn't know the height of the sky, and the salary of three dollars and five cents of silver is too little!

Three dollars and five cents in a month, and more than four taels in a year. Large families like the Xu family often have to give an extra salary during the New Year's Festival, which is regarded as a reward, which is the same as the double salary at the end of the year in later generations.

Calculated in this way, Xu Yuanzuo, a young man who wants fame but no fame, and no qualifications, can have such treatment is definitely the biggest inspirational news in Songjiang this year.
