Chapter 179: Cutting and Sorting Out the Mess (Asking for Subscription)
Rongguo Mansion has been making a lot of noise recently!
The subordinates didn't expect that Grandma Lian's methods would be so decisive and ruthless.
I heard that the old lady just mentioned calling the second room to help the housekeeper, but the next day the second grandmother Lian came up with a solution, and she didn't know how to communicate with the old lady, and finally got the old lady's approval.
In Rongfu, the old lady is the sky!
As long as the old lady agrees to something, there is basically nothing that cannot be done, and this time there is no exception.
The second room of the big house takes 5,000 taels of silver from the public account every six months as expenses, and in the future, non-marital marriages can no longer reach out to the public account.
That's fair!
Even the mothers-in-law who are known for their broken mouths in Rongguo Mansion can't say anything bad, but in private, they admire the methods of Lian's second grandmother, which can make the second room miserable.
There is a big family in the second room, not to mention the second master and the second wife, there are also sick seedlings Uncle Zhu and Grandma Zhu, and there is a very important old lady Bao Erye, not long ago Aunt Zhao gave birth to a daughter Tanchun, I heard that Grandma Zhu is also pregnant, and the six masters are not enough for half a year and five thousand taels.
I heard that the old lady privately subsidized a lot of silver in the second room, one or two thousand taels of silver per month, and the second grandmother Lian was so angry about this matter in private that she hit a lot of subordinate boards on the muzzle.
Speaking of which, the big house is much better than the second room, including the eldest lord and his wife, the second master and his wife, and the five serious masters of the third master, in addition to the expenses of the second master and his wife, the courtyard of the eldest lord has not taken the public account since a few years ago, and all of them are paid by the eldest lord himself.
Even the subordinates in Rongguo's Mansion who like to break their mouths are not good at saying that the eldest master is not the one with their conscience, on the contrary, they have made up jokes about the second room in private, but the second wife's housekeeper has accumulated a lot of power for many years, and he does not dare to speak loudly for fear of retaliation.
If this kind of similar division of production is only a small wave in the house, then the next thing related to the choice of the next person and the future fate of the future will cause an uproar in the house.
What, in addition to the normal maintenance of manpower, the rest of the people in the house must make a choice?
Either choose a big room, or choose a second room, or be favored by the old lady to stay in Rongqing Hall, if they are not selected, to put it on Zhuangzi?
Just kidding, it's here!
They worked well in Rongguo Mansion, why were they suddenly forced to choose a side?
Some honest subordinates took the initiative to undertake the hard work of maintaining the mansion, although they were busy and hard, but they didn't have to worry about the danger of standing in line, of course, the owners of the two houses didn't look down on them.
The rest of the subordinates are all 'clever people', and they account for the majority, and they were confused and overwhelmed by the sudden hand of Grandma Lian.
Everyone knows that once a choice is made, there will be no chance to regret it, and there can only be one way to go to the dark, and there is no chance to ride the wall left and right.
Some old people relied on decency and were unwilling to make a choice without permission, so they ran to Rongqing Hall to beg the old lady for mercy, so that they could continue to work in Rongguo Mansion with dignity, and they didn't have to stand in line as before.
"Boss, this is your idea for Feng Yatou, now the trouble is found in Rongqingtang, you have to come up with an idea to solve it properly, otherwise the old woman will not agree!"
Mother Jia was annoyed a lot, and it was difficult to find Wang Xifeng to say, so she had to call the eldest master to complain, and said angrily: "Look at the good things done by the big house, the house is about to turn upside down!" ”
"Old lady, why do you care too much about a bunch of people?"
The eldest lord said disapprerovingly; "When they make a choice, they will naturally stop!"
"It's all a family, what do you share with each other?"
Jia Mu said unhappily: "Besides, your second brother's family has a large population, can't he let him order?" ”
Hehe......
"The old lady is really good at laughing, I've let him for nearly twenty years, isn't it enough?"
Ignoring Jia's mother's embarrassed look, the eldest man said unceremoniously: "Besides, how much silver did the second daughter-in-law take out of the public treasury over the years, close to two million taels, I didn't say anything, how can the old lady ask me to back down?" ”
"Why are there so many?"
Jia Mu was taken aback, and her face became ugly.
Although she knew that the second daughter-in-law was greedy, she didn't expect that she would be greedy for such a field, nearly two million taels of silver, I am afraid that it will be ......
"Hehe, the current public treasury is so empty that you can run a horse!"
The eldest lord said leisurely: "It turns out that the second brother and sister are not good housekeepers, and it is better to make things clear as soon as possible than to make trouble in the future!" ”
"In this way, it will be up to you to toss in the big house!"
Mother Jia's heart was shocked for a long time and could not be calmed down, so she could only say helplessly: "I only hope that the boss can do the sake of the old woman, don't alienate your second brother, if you have the chance, it's best to pull him!" ”
Gee......
The eldest master didn't say anything, and said directly: "I don't care, I'm afraid that the second child won't like it!" ”
Coming out of Rongqing Hall, the eldest lord's mood was as calm as water, without the slightest ripple.
With Jia's mother's acquiescence, Wang Xifeng's sorting out of the internal affairs of Rongguo Mansion was much smoother and less troublesome, at least those subordinates who had intertwined relationships in the mansion did not continue to make trouble, nor did they disturb Jia's mother's purity again.
At this point, they really have no other way but to make an honest choice.
It's just that Lian Er and Wang Xifeng are depressed that there are very few clever subordinates who choose to stand on the side of their big house, probably less than one-fifth of the people in the house, and they are just in their early 100s.
Among them, most of them are relatives of the maids and maids around the young couple, otherwise they are afraid that the number of people will be smaller.
Most of the subordinates are all invested in the second room, and there are at least 400 subordinates, which makes the second room happy and uncomfortable, but also a big headache.
A large number of subordinates have contributed to the status and prestige of the second room in the house, but so many people suddenly came to the second room, not to mention the question of whether they can be placed, the monthly reward alone is not a small number.
The second room can naturally afford the money, but Mrs. Wang is not happy, although after the old lady's maneuvering, the second room did not let the second room pay for the subordinates who worked alone, but the monthly silver from the public account, but other expenses were ignored, which gave Mrs. Wang a headache for a while.
I don't know if it's the Bodhisattva who has been pretending to be for a long time, or if he wants to slap these subordinates in the face of the big house, in short, no matter what he thinks in his heart, the second room has accepted these subordinates who took the initiative to defect, and none of them have given up.
What a 'bodhisattva' heart......
There are a lot of people who want to defect to the big master, how to say that the big man is also the five-grade Tongzhou Zhizhou at the moment, and the real power is in his hands and he has a very promising future, anyway, he will definitely not suffer a loss if he follows the big master.
It's a pity that the eldest lord doesn't look down on them, and unceremoniously refuses the 'kindness' of these subordinates, and directly says that there is no shortage of subordinates to serve, and he can't afford to invite the uncle in the house.
Because of this incident, the name of the eldest lord was blackened by the people in the mansion again, and by the way, he also damaged the eldest lord outside the mansion, so that outsiders saw the joke.
The eldest lord didn't care at all, when he was invited to a colleague party, some guys who weren't long-eyed deliberately ridiculed about it, and the eldest lord was not polite to directly ridicule the guy for drinking, and if he didn't fight, he looked down on the eldest lord and Rongguofu, and almost didn't directly kill those few officials who owed money, which scared the rest of the guys who wanted to be demons.
"That is, master, I don't want to toss, otherwise I have to let these grandsons taste what it means to be traumatized in the heart or viscera!"
……
Things in Rongguo's Mansion did not blindly develop in a smooth direction.
After dealing with the affairs of the subordinates, Lian Er took enough bodyguards and began to rectify the grange and shops in the house, and as a result, more than seventy percent of the village heads and shopkeepers were taken down in less than half a month, some directly ordered them to retire and go home, and some were particularly greedy and vicious and sent directly to Shuntianfu to eat in prison.
Such a ruthless method really scared the people in the house, and for a while, the atmosphere in the house was too good, and they were all scared out.
It's just that in this way, there is a troublesome thing, that is, there is a serious shortage of manpower outside the house.
"Master, this situation must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise there will be chaos on the other side of the Grange and the shop!"
On this day, the eldest lord who had just returned home from outside was blocked by Lian Er in the study of the east courtyard, begging the eldest lord to help solve the current trouble.
"The Jia family has people from the Bafang clan in Beijing, right?"
The eldest man sat on the Taishi chair, holding the teacup and tasting it slowly, without raising his head and opening his mouth, he said: "There are many adult Ding Zhuang among the backstreet clansmen, isn't it very simple to recruit some people with good conduct to help take care of the grange and shop?" ”
Lian Er smiled bitterly again and again, things are not so simple.
The patriarch of the Jia clan is Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion, although over the years with the decline of Ningguo Mansion's momentum, Jia Zhen can't raise his head in front of Jia Mu in Rongguo Mansion, as well as the eldest lord and Jia Zheng, and the right to speak in the clan gradually falls into the hands of Rongguo Mansion, but Jia Zhen is still the patriarch of the rightful name.
Once Lian Er recruits the children of the clan to help run the grange and shop, if Jia Zhen has any bad intentions, it is easy to collude inside and outside to cause serious losses, which is not the result that Lian Er wants to see.
"In other words, if you recruit clansmen to help, it's best to make sure that the clansmen won't be affected by Jia Zhen, the patriarch, right?"
The eldest lord spoke indifferently, and he didn't mean to worry about this matter at all.
Seeing that Lian Er nodded in approval, he smiled and said: "It's very simple, it's the same as the model of dealing with the gang of subordinates in the mansion, let the backstreet clan choose the object to follow, our Rongguo Mansion will take Rongxi Hall as the hall name, as a branch of the Jia clan, it will not be a problem to gather a group of clansmen, as for the position of the patriarch of Ning Guofu, our Rongxi Hall only needs to be responsible for the patriarch of Ning Guofu, and the clansmen under our command are directly managed by us!" ”
Is this also possible?
How not?
Jia Zhen is a ridiculous master, as long as he doesn't offend his vital interests, everything else is easy to say, not to mention the suggestions put forward by the eldest master, but it has helped Jia Zhen solve a lot of headaches, and managing the clan is much more troublesome than the subordinates.
