may be because the original body has been in charge of almost every effort in the past ten years to find ways to open up sources and reduce expenditure, so that the family can live a good life, so the wishes left by the original body are also very simple.

That is, to make a lot of money, and no longer want to live the hard life of breaking a penny into two pennies in the past, and to get rich.

can make the original noble daughter of a family finally give birth to such a wish, you can imagine what the past years have forced her to become.

Seeing this, Qiao Mu breathed a sigh of relief, just making money, it is really not a difficult thing, compared to the past some of the desire to rebel against the original body of the emperor is much easier, and then think about the existence of unscientific things such as gold bar trees in the penguin farm, so Qiao Mu did not choose to replace the golden finger in this world, and still uses the penguin farm that was originally used in the last world.

Just as he was thinking about what excuse to use to smuggle some gold out of the penguin farm, the maid waiting outside the house had already shouted, "Old lady!

The eldest lady took the account book with her. ”

"Got it, come here!"

Qiao Mu hurriedly got up, yawned and nibbled on a green ginseng fruit, and then left the house.

It was still in the Wenxi Hall where the two of them were talking before, but this time the Xiao family did not come alone, but brought seven or eight sturdy servants, holding a bunch of account books.

"I've seen my wife, and I've brought the ledger.

Where do you think it's placed? ”

Xiao Shi saw Qiao Mu come in, and hurriedly said.

That look, that attitude, looking really anxious to throw away the housekeeper's burden.

But this is also normal, who wants to keep doing a loss-making business, and it's not stupid.

"Let's move to my bedroom, I can take a look at it at night, by the way, the monthly money in the house hasn't been paid this month, you can go to my house with me later, I'll give you some gold first, and then I'll send this month's monthly money for the time being."

With the memory of the original body, Qiao Mu naturally knows more about the situation in the house, and knows that tomorrow is the time for the house to send monthly money, which is the biggest expense in the house under normal circumstances, not only the maids and servants in the house, but also the master in the house, up to her old lady, down to the newborn descendants, every month must have monthly money, as a daily spending.

The master has the least, that is, the kind that has just been born, and the monthly money of the so-called master of the family has to break five hundred taels every month, plus the monthly money of those maids and servants and housekeepers, sometimes a thousand taels may not be able to beat.

These are just monthly money, daily meals, all kinds of utensils and other expenses are not included, if all kinds of expenses are included, it will be about 3,000 taels per month.

And the only five shops left in the Hou Mansion are basically not profitable, only one hundred and eighty taels of income per month, which is not enough for the monthly money of those masters in the house, although there are hundreds of hectares of land on the farm, but the income from farming is not high from ancient times to the present, and the farming is far less than the income of the second-way dealers selling grain, and the harvest year is just that, there can be thirty or forty thousand taels of harvest every year, and the account can barely be flattened, but in a disaster year, there will really be a large deficit on the account immediately.

Last year was a catastrophe year, many places not only had no harvest, but also had to lend money to the hired farmer for the winter, it is normal for Xiao to not survive, after all, if she continues to hold on, it will have to fill the gap of nearly 50,000 taels, so much silver is not enough to sell her dowry.

"Thank you, ma'am, I'm worried about this!

Don't you know, when the monthly money was not enough last month, it was I who was a set of gold heads and barely sent the monthly money, but it was also three days late, which caused everyone to complain a little, if it dragged on again this month, I was really ...... daughter-in-law"

The change in Xiao's expression as he spoke was really tangled, both happy and bitter.

I am glad that this month has finally passed, and the bitter thing is that in terms of the current deficit of her dowry, I don't know how to get the dowries of her two daughters in the future.

"Alas, this is really difficult!

That's it, it's better to divide the family as soon as possible, don't spread the news first, I'll sort out the account books, look back and take the time to divide the family, all of them are adults, how old are some children, there is no reason to let the family raise them, I don't know how to take money from home, I only know that I can take money from the family, and I can't serve them.

You go back first, oh no, you come with me to my room first, I almost forgot about getting you money, come with me! ”

Qiao Mu complained for a while and decided to hurry up and divide the family first, those concubines are all in their thirties, and they are embarrassed to live at home to gnaw the old, and now this house not only has to support them, but also has to support their wives, slaves and children.

According to the law, they can only divide the remaining 30% of their property, and the property they share may not be as much as they have used over the years.

Qiao Mu had already stood up as he spoke, and reminded her that the eldest daughter-in-law would follow her to her house to get gold, so that she could make a monthly payment.

Of course, there must not be much gold in the original house, even jewelry and other things are only left on the face, and the others are basically in the past few decades, when she was housekeeper, she encountered the disaster years in the past few years, Qiao Mu took the natural gold bars knotted on the gold bar tree in the penguin farm, a gold bar fifty taels, Qiao Mu used a cabinet as a cover, took out two of them, put them in an empty jewelry box on the side, handed them directly to Xiao, and waved her hand to let her leave.

Xiao Shi really left with the two gold bars with a smile on her face, but she was mainly happy not to be able to get the gold bars, but mainly happy that the old lady said that she wanted to split up, and she had already had a lot of opinions about her husband's dozen cousins still living in the Hou Mansion over the years, but the old lady above didn't speak, and she couldn't take care of her as a daughter-in-law, so she could only sulk.

Now that it's okay, the old lady has finally woken up and is going to split up, although after the separation, she will definitely have to divide some of the family property, but in the end, the big head is still their big house, and when the time comes, she will be more frugal, and she should be much more comfortable than now.

After all, now there are 500 hectares of land to support their seventeen families, and when they are separated in the future, it will be more than 300 hectares of land to support their family, and at most one old lady will be taken outside, but anyone who has no problem with their brains knows that it is more cost-effective to divide the family.
