In his mind, Li Wenxuan, who became more and more sober, first talked with Zhao Tianer about the education of his daughter Li Muxin, and then accompanied by a little gossip. continued to develop, and he just told her about some of the Zheng family's banquets. After the last, the two chatted about certain matters in their own house, after all, management is also a profound knowledge. As for how to effectively manage the people in their own houses and outside the city, it is not an easy task. Li Wenxuan understands very well that the number of people directly or indirectly managed by his own family can be said to be not 1,000, but 800.

If this is placed on the division of the number of enterprises in later generations, it can be summarized in some categories with fewer employees, but it is a large enterprise, and if it is classified in an industry with a large number of people, it can be regarded as a medium-sized enterprise. For an enterprise of this size, it is by no means a simple matter to manage it effectively. Many times, even a dozen people in a department can make the person in charge quite nerve-wracking.

Li Wenxuan rarely asks about his own affairs. It's not that I'm lazy and don't want to care, but I really don't have the time and energy to spend on this matter, after all, all kinds of things in the court and the yamen are enough to make me exhausted. He delegated the power of the house to Zhao Tian'er, Lin Ruoxi, and Su Meiniang for joint management.

However, seeing that the management effect of their struggle and cooperation is really unsatisfactory, after all, the internal friction between the three of them is somewhat high. Except for them, the friction between other people has not stopped. He understands that it is absolutely impossible to do this without internal friction. Whether it is the own family in this world or the unit in the next generation, there will always be a certain amount of inexplicable wear and tear. The former belongs to the category of Fuchu politics. The latter falls under the umbrella of office politics. In the final analysis, the issue of people is too complicated, and it is really constantly cut and messed up.

"The monthly expenses of our house are really getting bigger and bigger. It is just a monthly amount of silver that is given to the next person at once. It's not less than a hundred taels, and in a year, it's thousands of silver. This alone is not a big catalog of expenses. Charcoal, rice and noodles, all kinds of fruits and vegetables, meat, eggs, and poultry must be purchased every month. The cost of aquatic products and other food costs more than 1,000 taels of silver. The next various colors of satin, cloth, window screening...... The monthly cost is not less than three or five hundred taels of silver...... "Zhao Tian'er, who has always been worried about this matter, took advantage of this rare opportunity tonight to explain all the actual situation in the house that he knows and grasps. One by one, they will come out.

sat next to Zhao Tianer, Li Wenxuan, who was side by side with her. There was not the slightest interest in listening to her report to herself in the ledger and sub-ledger. He put away his smile and didn't act too serious and said, "What you want to say in the end, just say it." ”

"I think our family is too extravagant. In this regard, I want to reduce and adjust a certain amount of money in the house, after all, thrift is the way to long-term prosperity. Zhao Tian'er, who moved her body sideways, still kept her eyes level at his face.

"You have an idea and Mei Niang. Has Ruoxi discussed it? Li Wenxuan, who put his hands crossed on his chest, did not directly express his meaning, and seemed very calm and wanted to listen to the sermon.

Zhao Tianer told the truth: "I have already told them more than once, but they directly and indirectly mean that they are opposed. Sister Su, who is in charge of all the accounts and expenses in the house, knows the actual situation in the family best, so she has always thought that Brother Wen Xuan's status today is today. If you don't live like this, you will definitely be underestimated by others, mistakenly thinking that our family has no money, is too petty, buckles and ropes, has not seen much of the world, shabby...... As for Sister Lin's statement, if there is a shortage of money in the house, you can go to her to withdraw it, after all, Brother Wenxuan has put a lot of gold and silver in her. She is a member of the Li family, so it is natural and unshirkable to share the worries of this family. ”

Li Wenxuan, who still didn't show his personal attitude, touched his chin with his left hand and thought, it's really rare. Su Meiniang and Lin Ruoxi have always been incompatible, completely thinking, after all, one person supports something, and the other person must oppose it. This time, how could the two of them have been unprecedentedly consistent?

Li Wenxuan, who didn't think about them deeply, asked, "If I agree with your statement, what are you going to do?" ”

"First, reduce the number of servants in our house. The advantage of this is that, on the one hand, it can directly save the cost of providing them with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and on the other hand, it can also save the monthly silver issued to them; Secondly, those of us who are the mothers of the housekeepers should practice and reduce the number of dishes on each table, after all, a person is a pot-bellied Maitreya Buddha, and he can't eat twenty or thirty dishes on a table; Thirdly, expensive ingredients and expensive dishes should also be reduced, and they should be avoided unless they are important days such as New Year's holidays and birthdays. Far from mentioning, as far as our daughter's favorite fish brain tofu, I think it can be exempted, after all, a small bowl of fish brain tofu has to kill at least dozens of two or three catties of big fish at one time, but only take away the fish brain part. Hey, she's a little thing, she doesn't know what to do, she has to eat it every three or five days, and every time the kitchen will make a small bowl and send it. Mu Xin has never finished eating. The rest of the large pile of fish and meat, if it is good in winter, if it is summer, it will not be used for cooking for a long time, but it will all stink......" Zhao Tian'er, who had been thinking about it repeatedly in her mind for a long time, gushed out.

And I don't know that Li Wenxuan, who has a lot of expenses in the Lu Dao Mansion, on the one hand, does have the psychology of paying attention to self-enjoyment and decent scenery, and on the other hand, he knows that he really let Zhao Tianer personally preside over everything to change her original life, I am afraid that it will harm her. If Zhao Tianer wants to establish the prestige of change, she will naturally start with her daughter.

Let Li Muxin not have fish brain tofu to eat, then she still has to cry and make trouble, rolling all over the ground and making a fuss with her own mother? If Zhao Tian'er is soft-hearted and does not reduce her daughter's fish brain tofu, it means that the resistance to the next reform will not only become quite large, but also can only make small troubles, and in the end, it will not be done, and it will end in failure, and her prestige will be damaged. If she hardens her heart, it will cause a serious estrangement between the mother and daughter, and hurt the feeling that blood is thicker than water, and this is not the result that Li Wenxuan wants to see.
