Chapter 209: Greasy

"It is said that the Wang family is a great Confucian family, and the door style is clean, but they are all outsiders, just looking at the two young ladies raised here, you know how unbearable the family is!

When I first met Concubine Wang Zhuang, oh no, she was still Wang Jieyu at that time, she was clearly a perfect person with thousands of manners, kindness and courtesy, and she was simply a model of a woman who knew how to learn, compared with the poisonous woman, there was a world of difference, which made me give up the idea of harming her for a while, and even sometimes pity her.

However, she didn't expect that she would also buy off Wen Po to harm other concubines, but fortunately, Liu Gui was born a girl, otherwise the lives of the mother and son would not be guaranteed.

On that day, after she heard that Liu Gui gave birth to the seventh princess, she sneered and said that my stupid sister would think that it was a threat for others to give birth to a daughter, so I just said casually, she really did it, and as a result, she even put herself in, which is really ridiculous!

At that time, my heart was cold, it turned out that those virtuous and virtuous ladies were all pretended! If she hadn't said this, the county lord wouldn't have to suffer so much, and Mrs. Rou wouldn't have burned it!

What happened later, as I just said, I didn't touch the five princes, nor did I touch the life of Concubine Wang Zhuang. ”

She just taught Concubine Wang Zhuang a lesson, so that Concubine Wang Zhuang would never get pregnant.

A concubine who can't give birth to a prince, what hope is there? As long as there is no amnesty from the Holy One, it will be impossible to escape the fate of martyrdom in the end! Let Concubine Wang Zhuang live in anxiety and disappointment forever, day by day, death countdown.

Tong Yan looked at Fang Ruo suspiciously, obviously she hated it just now, why did she let Concubine Wang Zhuang go?

Fang Ruo calmed down, took a deep breath, met Tong Yan's puzzled eyes frankly, and said, "What I said is true, although I hate Concubine Wang Zhuang, but she is not guilty of death, so I just made a stumbling block for her and punished her, which can be regarded as avenging Mrs. Rou." ”

I see.

Tong Yan didn't bother with what kind of stumbling block Fang Ruo had, at least Concubine Wang Zhuang was still alive, maybe she was causing some trouble for Concubine Wang Zhuang.

The question is almost asked, Tong Yan didn't forget the matter, and said to Fang Ruo, "Since my aunt is the person next to my aunt, and she was assigned by my aunt to take care of the dowry for me, you must know which ones are the inheritances left by my aunt, right?" ”

As she expected, Fang Ruo answered.

Tong Yan picked up the account book of the pharmacy, handed it to Fang Ruo, and asked, "Is this shop also A-Niang's dowry back then?" ”

Fang Ruo took it respectfully, looked at the name of the shopkeeper, nodded and said, "Yes, I still have an impression of this person named Wang Yi, I have seen two sides." ”

Then Shen Niangzi must be the person next to Ah Niang.

As soon as Tong Yan thought about this, Fang Ruo continued, "Shen Niangzi originally served Mrs. Rou, and Mrs. was still in charge of her marriage with Wang Yi." ”

Tong Yan was not surprised at all, nodded her head, and continued, "I have been bothering my aunt for the past two days, and I will pick out all the dowries in these account books for me." ”

As for whether she remembers, whether she has the list of marriages in her hand back then, that is Fang Ruo's business, as a female official, if she can't do this little thing well, it will be a joke.

Fang Ruo agreed without hesitation, but she didn't know what the county lord meant, so she thought about it and said, "Madame's dowry shop and grange, the prince only gave the county lord a part of the profits, and those who were not doing well or lost money were still with the prince." ”

Those ruined industries, just wait for them to change hands quickly, after all, the royal family has a big business, and the scattered few are really not worth spending energy and manpower.

Tong Yan didn't quite understand, "Why don't you let me bring it too?" ”

"It's not worth it." Fang Ruo is concise and to the point.

Tong Yan still thinks that it is also a real money shop, so it is better to continue to operate, and it is a big deal to replace the shopkeeper and reorganize it from the beginning.

Fang Ruo looked at her disapproving eyes, her lips pursed slightly for a long time, and she still didn't say much.

After all, there are some things that it is one thing to listen to others, and it is another thing to experience them yourself.

Tong Yan asked Fang Ruo to sit closer to her, and wanted to have a good discussion with Fang Ruo.

This consultation is not a discussion on how to read the account book and how to make accounts, but a discussion on some empirical knowledge.

For example, just now, why has the profit been dismal before, but it has improved quite a lot recently?

Fang Ruo glanced at it a few times, and said in a deep voice, "This Yuelan Cloth Village is also one of Mrs.'s dowries, and it is also the number one cloth village that can be ranked in the capital, such a profit is really not much, not to mention the profit in the past few years." ”

She sighed and closed the account, lowered her eyes and said, "This shopkeeper is also a cunning, the profits of the past ten years, it is estimated that most of them have flowed into his own pocket, the lady is gone, the county lord is nowhere to be found, and the prince does not have so much energy to manage, so he only handed it over to the housekeeper, the housekeeper is very busy, how can such a small matter be carefully studied, at a glance it is profitable, and let it go."

This is only the accounts of this quarter, since the county lord said that the profit has only risen recently, I dare to guess that it is probably from the county lord was found back, the shopkeeper got the news, and quickly began to gradually increase the profit on the account handed, not wanting the shop to be sold and lose the protection of the nobles.

After all, under the wing of the county lord or the prince, it is much better than being bought by other merchants, although the oil and water are less than before, but it is better than not being able to get oil and water. ”

Although Tong Yan had some vague guesses, she couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard Fang Ruo say so bluntly, "This is too rampant!" I'm afraid it's not that this shopkeeper will pay more than half of the silver a year! Whose industry is this? ”

Fang Ruo shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The county lord doesn't know, although this shopkeeper is cunning, but it's okay, some of the lords don't care much, the shopkeeper is greedy for several years, and he has a lot of money, just waiting for the lord to be unable to stand the deficit and want to change hands."

They happened to use someone else's name, or bribed the steward who came to deal with the property, and directly took it down, so that it became their own shop. ”

"How can that be?!" Tong Yan was so angry when she heard it, this is simply stealing other people's money!

Not to mention anything else, such as this cloth village, just for the shopkeeper to open the monthly silver is very expensive, eight taels of silver a month, not to mention that it will be doubled every New Year's holiday, and you can get a hundred or dozens of taels of silver a year, which is already very good! In addition to expenses, you can save eight hundred taels of silver for ten years, so why worry about not starting from scratch! Calculate the net profit of the previous few years, which is equivalent to the monthly money of a shopkeeper and two running halls!

I want to live a luxurious life and be a master, but I don't want to take risks to go it alone, but it's really shameful!

Her personal maid is less than five taels of silver a month!

If she is greedy, Tong Yan will open one eye and close one eye, but she is so unscrupulous and insatiable person, she really hates it!
