Chapter 51: Sowing

"Ladies and gentlemen, I've been waiting for a long time. My uncle has arranged for me to be fully responsible for the affairs of Zhuangzi, and all the stewards are older than me, so don't bully me for being young and ignorant. Please hand in the account books of the past two years. Also, please report the income and expenditure of each Zhuangzi in turn. After speaking, Mu Qingwan's eyes signaled auspiciousness.

Ji Xiang went forward, collected the account books of the ten Zhuangzi, put them on the table next to Mu Qingwan, and then stood behind Mu Qingwan.

Mu Qingwan took an account book and began to look through it.

"Alright, let's get started." Mu Qingwan looked at the stewards who were sitting straight.

A few stewards glanced at Steward Wang, but Steward Wang stood behind Mu Qingwan, hanging his head, looking at his nose and nose, and not looking at a few stewards.

No, a few stewards could only wake up and start reporting on Zhuangzi's situation.

"Tell Miss, Zhuangzi's income is not very good. The subordinates are really not good at business, and they are barely maintaining it at present, and I hope that the young lady will arrange a new steward to come over as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, miss, my subordinates have also asked for a new steward."

When someone spoke, others chimed in. These stewards are also real people, but the actual situation must be checked before making plans.

"I see, it's hard for you to help take care of Zhuangzi." Although her merits were average, Mu Qingwan also sincerely thanked several stewards.

Mu Qingwan looked through the account book quickly, and the basic situation was clear at a glance. When it came to the remaining three Zhuangzi, there was a suspicion of making fake accounts, although the technique of making fake accounts was superb, but who was Mu Qingwan? In his previous life, he was doing business, and in this life, he learned ancient bookkeeping methods from Mrs. Mu, and many details are naturally well understood.

"What about the remaining three Zhuangzi, what do the stewards have to say?" Mu Qingwan looked at the remaining stewards.

"Well, the harvest of Zhuangzi is not good. In the past two years, the grain market has been sluggish, and sales have not been good. I couldn't help it, I tried my best. I was tired all day long, but who knew that the income was so low. ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

The steward of Zhuangzi refused to admit that he had done a bad job, but he was afraid that he would be replaced, so he just blindly complained about the recession of the grain market.

Mu Qingwan glanced at the big bellies of the three stewards, smiled silently, and did not speak.

"Okay, I got it, too. All the stewards, please go back first, and stay here first, and after tomorrow, someone will visit you one by one. ”

After speaking, Mu Qingwan asked Steward Wang to arrange a few stewards to stay, and he took the account book back to the backyard with auspiciousness and wishfulness.

I found an abacus, and according to the new bookkeeping methods summarized in the past few years, it also combines the characteristics of modern and ancient, and clearly indicates income and expenditure, which is clear at a glance. Moreover, this approach is not very obtrusive in this era, but it is unique.

The three of them took a short time, just one afternoon to sort out the account books of ten Zhuangzi for the past two years, and some of the situations are indeed the same as what they learned before.

Although the second uncle's stewards are loyal, they are unfortunately not good at business, and it is not appropriate to continue to be stewards, but it is a bit chilling to withdraw rashly. Mu Qingwan planned to keep the stewards of these Zhuangzi, but set up a chief steward for every two Zhuangzi, and arranged them to be the experienced old shopkeepers she brought from Pingcheng.

The old steward who was left by the original owner of Zhuangzi is sorry and can only resign. It's just that the private money that was removed before must be returned intact, otherwise, it can only be sent to the government for processing, and this will also be handed over to Hu Zhao to do.

The action here was very fast, and it was done quickly, and the operation of Zhuangzi was also on the right track.

A thousand acres of land have begun to be sown, and the current foundation is unstable, Mu Qingwan is more cautious in doing things, and does not plan to adopt measures to increase production through modern means now, everything must be considered in the long run.
