Chapter 306: Compensation

At night, Song Yao was going to rest early and inspect the shop tomorrow.

It's been a few months since she entered Beijing, but Song Yao hasn't been to her own shop much, so she wants to make a surprise inspection.

However, compared with the industries that Song Yao bought by herself, the industries left by Jiang Huiru are what Song Yao should look at.

Mrs. Song has managed for so many years, and the profits from these shops have fallen into Mrs. Song's pocket, and some people who have rebelled should also clean up.

Even those who have the bitterness to rebel against the Lord should be reviewed again.

As for those who died for the sake of their masters, Song Yao wanted to appease them, so as not to chill these people, which was the biggest loss.

But Song Yao hadn't fallen asleep yet, and Helian Sheng once again entered Song Yao's boudoir without going through the main door.

"I have something to do tomorrow, so don't let anything affect my rest time." Seeing Helian Sheng coming, Song Yao turned over and moved some positions inside, but showed his attitude.

Helian Sheng prepared a full stomach of words, and he couldn't say anything at the moment.

Knowing that Song Yao had been very busy recently, Helian Sheng saw that she was really sleepy, so he had to suppress his excitement and hug her from behind Song Yao to rest.

Song Yao got up very angrily, but it didn't mean that she didn't have a temper when she was disturbed from sleeping, Helian Sheng felt sorry for Song Yao that she was too busy and was reluctant to delay her rest, and he was also afraid that talking about the marriage at this time would backfire.

Helian Sheng made a decision in his heart, and it will be the same tomorrow.

As everyone knows, he didn't discuss with Song Yao in advance, which caused Song Ge Lao and Song Zhiyuan to postpone their marriage, which made him depressed for a long time.

Jiang Huiru left a lot of property, and it has been bought and sold for many years, and the shopkeeper and the buddies in it are all old people.

Those who continue to retain need to be gracious and powerful, so that the other party can become a person who can be relieved.

As for those who want to be dismissed, Song Yao needs to have enough evidence, otherwise it will not only be difficult to establish prestige, but also make people feel that she, the new master, cannot tolerate the elderly.

Early in the morning, Song Yao set off with a few capable people.

Yesterday, it was already notified that all shops were closed for half a day today, waiting in the Juwei Building under Jiang Huiru's name.

Jiang Huiru's business is not small, but except for the person who was chosen by Jiang Huiru, Jiang Huiru did not put much effort into the business like Song Yao, and she was very relieved to hand it over to these people.

After Jiang Huiru's death, these people initially took care of their own business, and handed over the annual surplus and account books to the old mansion, which were checked by the housekeeper and put them all in the small treasury of Yuqiongyuan.

Song Ge Lao never thought of using his deceased wife's dowry, which was one of the reasons why Song Yuyao's private treasury could have so much silver and treasures.

But since Song Yuyao's accident, the business has been completely handed over to Mrs. Song to help take care of it, and the money will naturally flow into Mrs. Song's pocket.

Although Song Yao had robbed Mrs. Song's private treasury and property, it was far from enough to make up for the loss.

Over the years, Mrs. Song has been low-key on the surface, but she has improved all her use of herself by a few grades, and naturally she uses the proceeds of Jiang Huiru's dowry.

In addition, rewarding and dredging relationships, helping the mother's family, and being greedy by the stewards, it will cost millions of taels of silver, which is not a small amount.

"Master, everyone is here." Red Sleeves entered the private room and reported to Song Yaoyu, who was drinking tea and reading the account book.

"Well, then let all the shopkeepers come in first." Song Yao said lightly.

What Song Yao looked at was Juweilou's account book, because he had checked it before, so he focused on the income and expenditure of the last month.

This meeting with the shopkeepers also includes reconciliation and handover.

As for Zhuangzi's stewardship, Song Yao planned to go over after finishing his busy work here, and not mix together.

"Miss." After all the shopkeepers entered the private room, they bowed to Song Yao together, and they also wanted to take a look.

Because the meeting was held in Juwei Building, the shopkeeper Tong of Juwei Building naturally wanted to stand at the forefront.

"Let's all sit down and talk." Song Yao put down the teacup, swept her eyes over everyone, and matched their faces with their names, and already had a score in her heart.

Because it was the first time they met, in order to recognize who it was, Song Yao asked Red Sleeves to put a name tag on the coffee table when they arranged the seats.

And the people who have to be used and those who want to be dismissed are also separated, which is convenient for Song Yao to observe everyone's demeanor.

"Miss Xie." Before going upstairs, the shopkeeper Tong had already explained how to sit down, and everyone quickly found their seats.

People who have a careful heart or a weak heart immediately notice the abnormality.

are all the shopkeepers selected by Jiang Huiru, no matter whether everyone knows each other before or not, it is indispensable to meet for so many years, even if there is no personal relationship, they will be a little familiar.

The shopkeeper Tong is the leader of Juwei Building, and the matter of arranging tea and snacks is handed over to him, which is also a test given to him by Song Yao.

When the tea was ready, the man retreated to the door and waited for instructions from inside.

Song Yao was not in a hurry to talk to everyone, but read the remaining pages of the ledger at a glance and ten lines, and then nodded and said: "Shopkeeper Tong is well managed, and Juweilou can still maintain such a profit under such fierce competition, which shows that Shopkeeper Tong is attentive." ”

Song Yao has a little appreciation for the shopkeeper Tong.

Although Jiang Huiru's industries, because of the old mansion, even if the master does not come often, there will be no ruffians and hooligans to find fault.

However, the chef level of the restaurant, as well as the service standard of the restaurant, etc., directly affect the income of the restaurant.

Juweilou is not a century-old restaurant, and the innovation of dishes is not enough, but it can maintain a stable income, and it is also famous in the capital, which shows that the shopkeeper is doing things with his heart.

"I don't dare to praise the eldest lady, my subordinates are just doing their duty and living up to the kindness of Mrs. at the beginning!" Shopkeeper Tong got up and clenched his fists in the direction of the west.

The ancients believed in the bliss of the Western Heavens, and the way to pay respect to the deceased was to bow to the West with their fists in the face of this person.

The shopkeeper Tong's attitude is rigorous and pious, and at a glance, you can see that he really respects Jiang Huiru.

The smile on the corner of Song Yao's mouth was sincere, and she got up and blessed her body in the direction where the shopkeeper Tong was doing, which made people unable to understand her meaning.

Anyway, Song Yao is the owner, how can anyone salute his subordinates?

Everyone hurriedly got up and returned the salute, shouting: "I don't deserve such a big gift from the owner." ”

After everyone was seated, Song Yao picked up the list that Red Sleeves had just put down, and said apologetically: "I have a list in my hand, and I have done some research accordingly." That gift was not for the treasurer, but for the sake of your victimized family members. They would not have been harmed if it had not been for you to protect my mother's inheritance, your loyalty is commendable, but they are innocent. ”

Song Yao's words fell, and many shopkeepers wiped their tears.

Their relatives were hurt, but they still insisted on their loyalty to their master, and they were indispensable to their guilt and inforgiveness to their families.

But since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to achieve, and as an adult, you must face a dilemma.

"Red Sleeves, send these deeds to the shopkeeper on the list." After Song Yao finished speaking, he looked in the direction of the shopkeeper Tong and said, "I know that these things make up for the harm done to them, but I just want to do my best so that they can rely on them in the second half of their lives, and they don't have to worry about the future." ”

At this moment, Song Yao was a little grateful to Mrs. Song's subordinates for their mercy.

No matter what Mrs. Song's reason is, she didn't put people to death, but she always gave Song Yao a chance to make amends.

Those who were hurt, some of them were the young sons of these shopkeepers, and some of them were grandchildren, and all of them became the targets of Mrs. Song's infringement in order to occupy the original property at a young age, and they became disabled.

Although it is not impossible to become a man, it is impossible to go out to work, and it is unrealistic to learn some trades, and it becomes a burden to the family.

"Ladies and gentlemen, these shops are not prosperous shops, but if they are rented out or have a small storefront, they are enough to support a small family. When you go back, you can discuss it with your family, and if you want to open a shop, I can let someone teach them some food skills, and you can also pass it on to your ancestors in the future. Of course, if you have other ideas and can't realize them, you can also come to me, and I will try my best to arrange them. ”

Song Yao felt ashamed in her heart, and she didn't care about putting more effort into it.

But the premise is that the ideas of these shopkeepers will not be too excessive, otherwise Song Yao will not raise their appetite.

Although the treasurers are not slaves, since they have signed the paperwork of lifetime employment, the traitor will also be imprisoned, and even exile or beheading is normal.

These shopkeepers didn't expect that after Song Yao sent someone to their home to send supplements and silver, he would give such a generous compensation.

This shop also costs at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is the family foundation that they can't save in their lifetime.

The people who received the compensation were moved in their hearts, and they were also grateful people who could be so loyal, and they all got up and kowtowed to Song Yao to thank them.

And those shopkeepers who also have their families threatened, this will be complicated, and only they know what they are thinking.

On the contrary, those shopkeepers who were bought by Mrs. Song, some people panicked, and some people felt that Song Yao was a loser.

People with a lot of thoughts will know that today's meeting is not simple, Song Yao can find out what price these loyal shopkeepers have paid, and naturally they will also find out what they have done, can they still get out?

A woman who can do such a big business is definitely not brainless, let alone a woman.

But there are also people who have been greedy for ink and silver over the years, and they think that they have the ability, so they will set up their own doors if it is a big deal, so they feel that Song Yao is making so many shops as compensation, which is really a waste.

In the final analysis, it is also an employment relationship, where is such compensation used, and it is already benevolent to give one hundred and eighty taels of silver.

"You don't have to do this, no amount of silver can buy health. I'm sure my mother, if she were alive, would have approved of my approach. Facing the voice of gratitude, Song Yao felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and what she said was naturally from her heart.

"Madame is kind, and the eldest lady is so kind, it is really a blessing for us!" Shopkeeper Tong wiped away his tears.

I never dreamed that my family would be in such a situation.

For so many years, I can't straighten my back at home, all my relatives are cold, and the salary I earn is not only to pay for medicine, but also to pay for the family's rations, how can I have the opportunity to save money for future generations?

Now not only do you have a shop, but you can also learn the trade of doing business with the eldest lady, are you afraid that future generations will not be able to live a good life?

Loyalty is what it should be, but no one doesn't want their loyalty to be rewarded better, and they don't want to be a descendant of the shadows.

Facing everyone's thanksgiving voices, Song Yao waved his hand and said, "This is what you deserve, if everyone is like this again, it will make me feel guilty." ”

As soon as Song Yao's words fell, the words of thanks calmed down, they were really grateful, not to embarrass the owner.

"Red Sleeves, give these title deeds to the treasurers on another list." After Song Yao finished speaking, she took a sip of tea.
