Chapter 168: Family Property

I really don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

In addition to the mountains and forests and granges, Yu Wenyan has dozens of shops on the most prosperous East Street in the capital, and there are tea houses and mulberry gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many oil mills and lacquerware shops.

The more Shi Jinxiu looked, the more puzzled he became.

It stands to reason that to do business, concentrate on doing one, and then make this business more refined and stronger, such as the Li family's incense workshop and the Lu family's silk shop, which are the efforts of several generations.

Like Yu Wenyan, there is a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and there are all shops, but it is really rare for them to be small workshops.

She cursoryly flipped through the account books, and unexpectedly found that there was an incense shop called "Li Family Incense Shop" under Yu Wenyan's name.

Shi Jinxiu has an impression of this incense shop.

In her dream, even when Xixiangtang was at its peak, this "Li Family Fragrance Shop" had always existed, so that she always thought it was the Li family's shop, so she was not driven out.

With this impression, Shi Jinxiu looked at the account book in his hand and gradually frowned.

She doesn't know much about the livelihood of other shops, but she understands the matter of incense shops.

The store used by the Li family's incense shop is a self-owned house in Yu Wenyan's name, so there is no rent, but despite this, the incense shop still can't make ends meet.

For such a shop, ordinary people have long been closed, how can they keep it and fill it with money year after year?

"This shop...... But what's the point? Shi Jinxiu looked at Steward Tang.

Steward Tang replied with a smile: "Madame's eyes are really like torches!" This shop takes in all the people who were kind to adults in the Li family back then. ”

Shi Jinxiu was puzzled.

Steward Tang's expression froze slightly, and then he said with a serious expression: "When the old Dingbei Marquis was not cold, the current Dingbei Marquis was going to drive the adult who was only sixteen years old out of the house, and several loyal servants in the family stood up to intercede for the adult, but I didn't expect these people to be driven out together." Later, when the adults gained power, they found all these people and opened this incense shop to support these old people. ”

Hearing what Steward Tang said, Shi Jinxiu was indeed very surprised, she didn't expect Yu Wenyan to be such an emotional person.

"In fact, not only this incense shop, but also the oil mill and lacquerware shop under the name of the adult, most of them are used to accommodate people like me who are unable to continue to stay in the Zhenfu Division because they are injured." As if to prove what he said, Steward Tang lifted his trouser leg slightly, and Shi Jinxiu saw a badly burned leg.

This made her gasp.

Seeing this, Steward Tang hurriedly put down his trouser leg: "It's a small abruptness, which scares Madame." ”

"You ...... Is it all like this? Shi Jinxiu thought of what Steward Tang had said before, that he still had subordinates.

Steward Tang nodded silently: "We are all children of poor families, and when we go to the town to work as an errand boy, we actually want to have a future." But when we were injured and couldn't do the errand of the Pacification Division, we had to face the embarrassment of being beaten back to our original shape. ”

"Fortunately, it was the adults who took us in in time, so that we had the foundation to live again." Steward Tang was full of gratitude, "So after these properties of the adults were handed over to us, we were very attentive, and we never let the adults worry about it again." ”

Shi Jinxiu roughly understood, and also knew why Yu Wenyan's industries were many and miscellaneous.

She slowly closed the account book, then looked at Steward Tang and asked, "Can you take me to the Li family's incense shop?" ”

She still has some experience in making incense, and she may be able to help them.

"Of course," Steward Tang said without hesitation, "Your Excellency once said that these shops will be handed over to Mrs. in the future, and if there is anything to do, you can discuss it with Mrs. ”

"Can you trust me?" Shi Jinxiu was very surprised.

After all, she is just a girl in the eyes of most people, so how can she afford such a heavy responsibility.

"Madam, you were chosen by the adults, and we believe in the adults!" Steward Tang also answered without any ambiguity.

"That's okay," Shi Jinxiu looked at herself, "Then ask Steward Tang to prepare the car, and let's go to the incense shop in the second half of the day!" ”

After Steward Tang responded to this matter, he stepped down first.

Shi Jinxiu carefully looked through the account books left by Steward Tang.

She found that except for Li Jiaxiang's shop, the other shops seemed to be making money, plus the mountains and forests, the grange and the grange that have fixed income every year, Yu Wenyan's income every year is very considerable.

It turns out that the person she married is not only powerful but also rich!

As soon as a person has something to do, time flies very quickly.

Just as Shi Jinxiu was looking at those account books, Yu Wenyan came back quietly.

Seeing the account books piled up in front of Shi Jinxiu, he smiled and said, "Tang Quan has been here?" ”

Only then did Shi Jinxiu raise his head from the ledger.

"These ledgers are so ugly!" She couldn't help but complain to Yu Wenyan, "I read it all morning, and I've only turned half of it!" ”

Yu Wenyan raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "You won't tell me, you want to show these accounts, right?" ”

"Why not?" Shi Jinxiu looked at him very seriously, "If I don't finish reading these accounts, how can I manage these shops?" ”

Looking at her serious appearance, Yu Wenyan couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and laugh.

Why is this little girl of his so cute!

"I asked Tang Quan to bring these account books to you to have a bottom in your heart." He grabbed Shi Jinxiu and hugged her to his lap and sat down, "Tang Quan, there are no less than twenty people who specialize in taking care of these shops, you just need to focus on the big and let go of the small, and you don't have to ask about everything." Otherwise, you may not be able to take down all these things. ”

"And Tang Quan is a very intelligent person, and he was my best helper in the Zhenfu Division." Yu Wenyan sighed with Shi Jinxiu, "If it weren't for the fact that he was injured and withdrew from the Suppression Division later, the position of the deputy envoy of the Suppression Division must belong to him now." ”

"After he quit the Pacification Division, he chose to come to my private residence to help me take care of these chores." Yu Wenyan continued to say to Shi Jinxiu, "It's also thanks to him, I don't have to worry about these things at all over the years, so that I don't know how much money and property I have in my name, I only know that no matter how much I want from him, he can take it out without hesitation." ”

"If that's the case, then why do you want him to do my bidding?" Shi Jinxiu began to be confused.

"It's not that Tang Quan always comes to me every now and then to complain, saying that I don't care about them at all." Yu Wenyan sighed helplessly, "Fortunately, now that I have you, Mrs., I have to ask you to help me do it." ”
