Thank you for the full score evaluation vote ~~Mo Da~

Rui'er glanced at her and said, "What else can I do?" I heard that Mrs. Mei called her that day, asking her to be kind to the second master, and to conceive a sister-in-law for the second room as soon as possible. So yesterday, the second grandmother prepared wine and food in the room, and planned to compensate the second master, so she left him in the room for the night. But Aunt Mo suddenly said that her stomach hurt, and the second master immediately went to the backyard again. made the second grandmother half angry. ”

Liuli smiled, pondering, Mei should not suddenly say this to He Yuhua at this time, this is most likely the meaning behind the king of Dingbei, sure enough, the in-laws in the world are the same, and it is the daughter-in-law's fault that she can't give birth to a child. However, Liuli didn't sympathize with He Yuhua at all, and what she wanted to use was this point of King Dingbei.

"Listening to what you say, is this Aunt Mo really having a stomachache or a fake stomachache?" She asked.

Rui'er said: "I don't know if it's true or not, we didn't insert people in the backyard of the second room." However, I heard that after the second master passed, Aunt Mo's stomach didn't hurt anymore. The second grandmother is because of this, so she let people go to Aunt Mo's house to be angry today, but it didn't matter, she found fault and smashed a few bottles and came out. ”

Liuli nodded and said, "Let people stare at the second room again, keep an eye on it, the second grandmother will go back and forth with Aunt Mo whenever there is anything." Then he picked up the imperial calendar and looked at it, and said: "It's twelve today, I'm busy for the past few days, that is, about twenty, you go and inquire about the whereabouts of the second master in those days." ”

Rui'er knew that she was going to start from Ruyi's side, so she nodded and said, "I'll give you the order." He stopped and said, "There's still something going on in our backyard here." Bingling said back and forth that after Hanxue brought her back, she didn't take any action, and she didn't ask her too much about anything. As for the frost, it seems that he is still thinking about getting closer to the general. ”

Liuli frowned when she heard this. Although Qi Yunhao didn't have the intention of getting close to them, it was really annoying for Ning Shuang to be so stubborn, so she had to find a way to get rid of her thoughts. I couldn't think of any brilliant ideas for a while. I remembered that Rui'er also talked about Hanxue just now, so she said: "Hanxue doesn't ask Bingling anything." But I'm just watching her. Tell Bingling to be careful and gain her trust as soon as possible. ”

Then there was nothing else.

When I looked at the imperial calendar, Liuli saw that the circle was drawn on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, this is Mrs. Ye's sacrifice day, and it is also the birthday of Qi Yunhao. Fan Yun pondered for a moment. said: "Grandma is going to the grave?" ”

Ruri nodded: "Naturally." Doesn't the general go to the grave every year? ”

Fan Yun paused, had no words, nodded and went down without mentioning it.

There are many trivial things at the end of the year, and the day passes quickly. In the next morning, Ji Xiaoquan and Lai Wu pulled the pigs, sheep, melons and vegetables of the four ox carts to the palace. Liuli knew that Dingbei Wangfu had their own kitchens except for the first day of junior high school. Thinking that there were many visitors in the New Year, it was indispensable to keep food, so he asked Lai Wuduo to bring some meat. There is a large fish pond dug by himself on the eastern suburb of Zhuangzi, so he also got a few baskets of fresh fish and mussels.

Liuli asked Ji Xiaoquan to calculate the wages of the tenant farmers in Zhuangzi, and then gave her own subordinates in Zhuangzi a reward of twenty taels of silver per person. Lai Wu was the steward, and the share was fifty taels.

After the calculation, it is natural to ask about the situation in Zhuangzi and the feelings of the five people. Lai Wu held fifty taels of silver and smiled from ear to ear, patted his chest and promised to work hard to increase Zhuangzi's income next year. Liuli looked at them with a smile, I hadn't seen them for half a year, and Lai Wuyue saw Hei Zhuang. Feng Chun'er is also plump, dressed very neatly, and has gotten rid of the appearance of showmanship back then, and has become an authentic Zhuang head lady.

Liuli asked Rui'er to reward Feng Chun'er with a few feet of cloth and let them go back.

Ji Xiaoquan was left behind.

Liuli asked him first: "Is there an eyebrow in the matter of the Grange?" ”

Ji Xiaoquan leaned over and said: "I heard about two places, one is also the eastern suburbs, slightly smaller than grandma's current Zhuangzi, the land is good, very Yang, and there are several ready-made houses, the price is 90,000 taels of silver." There is also a place in the southern suburbs, the place is only half the size of the eastern suburbs, the orientation and terrain are better than the eastern suburbs, because the southern suburbs are close to the official warehouse, and they have been the first choice for collecting grain for many years, so the price is more expensive than the eastern suburbs by 10,000 taels, and a total of 100,000 taels of silver. ”

"One hundred thousand taels?"

Liuli frowned, of course she would choose a good place to buy it, let alone 100,000 taels, she couldn't even take out 50,000 taels of silver right now.

"How much does a shop like Laomiao Hutong cost?" She asked.

Ji Xiaoquan thought for a while and said, "If the disc is ready-made in the store, it is enough to bring three or five thousand taels without goods." The monthly rent is between three hundred and four hundred taels of silver. However, according to the small point of view, it is better to buy the whole shop, although the first amount of money will be more smashed, but similar to the old temple alley, if the business is good, smash a hundred or twenty thousand taels of silver, it is estimated that at most three years can return to the capital, and the industry is still its own, that is, it is rented out a year There are thousands of taels of silver, and there will be no loss in the long run. ”

Liuli nodded, she could barely get one or two hundred thousand silver. Although the profit is less, it is still an income. After pondering for a moment, he said: "If you buy a shop like this, but there are problems with the operation, what is the right thing to do?" ”

Ji Xiaoquan said: "Laomiao Hutong is very close to several yamen in Gyeonggi, and there are many big mansions nearby, which can be used to buy and sell silk and tea. If it is a Guihua Hutong in the north of the city, it is similar to the Laomiao Hutong, but most of the people living nearby are rich merchants and high-ranking officials, which is more suitable for operating a wine shop and teahouse. There are also several alleys that are well located, and they all need to be formulated according to local conditions. ”

Liuli took the ginseng tea handed by Rui'er and said, "Osmanthus Hutong can be considered." Located in the north of the city, it is only four streets away from the palace, so it is convenient to take care of it. From now on, you don't have to go back to Zhuangzi, just go to Osmanthus Hutong to find out if there is a suitable shop storefront, but if the land is good, I can consider it if the selling price is less than 20,000 taels. ”

Ji Xiaoquan's jaw: "The little one obeys grandma's orders." ”

Liuli glanced at Rui'er, and then raised her lips and said to him: "You have worked hard for half a year, except for the fifty taels of silver in charge, when the matter of the shop is implemented, you will be transferred to be the big shopkeeper." ”

The so-called big shopkeeper is the leader of the inside and outside accounts, and the big shopkeeper on the cabinet of many merchants is his own family, and he is rarely handed over to outsiders to do. Liuli's decision is not surprising.

Ji Xiaoquan glanced up at her, and quickly lowered his head: "I'm afraid that the little one is incompetent." ”

Liuli put the bowl and said, "Now Jia Fu's silver in the shop in the red sleeves is two hundred taels a year, and I will add one hundred and fifty taels to you here." As you said, the first three years will pay off. If you can't get back in the first three years, you will be deducted from your annual salary, limited to five years, if you can't make a profit in five years, then you still go back to Zhuangzi to be a steward, and you will be a steward of one hundred taels a year to make up for this loss until it is made up. If you return to the capital in three years, you will be given twenty taels of silver every year after that. If you pay back the cost in two years, I will give you an increase of fifty taels every year. If profits can grow at a uniform rate in five years, I will increase them. ”

When she said this, not to mention Rui'er's surprise, even Ji Xiaoquan couldn't help but show surprise, the annual salary is linked to the profit of the shop, more earning more, less earning less or not, this is rushing to put people on this road! With a salary of three hundred and fifty taels of silver a year plus a few dozen taels that may increase year by year, it won't take a few years, and they can be regarded as people with a small fortune!

Ji Xiaoquan secretly calculated the situation in the area of Osmanthus Hutong, and then looked at Rui'er. Rui'er clasped her hands and nodded at him. After receiving Rui'er's opinion, Ji Xiaoquan knelt down and said, "Small, follow grandma's orders." ”

Liuli raised her lips and said, "In this way, I don't need to say how much effort I should spend on management." In addition, there is another ugly thing to say ahead, since I give you such a high salary, I don't want Wang Erma and Li Fugui to have that kind of thing, you understand? ”

Ji Xiaoquan said awe-inspiringly: "The little one understands! The small one must take Wang Ermazi and the two as a reference! ”

Ruri smiled and drank the ginseng tea.

In this way, making money from the shop is equivalent to making money for him, and with this motivation, he is not afraid that he will not work hard.

After Ji Xiaoquan left, Rui'er expressed her apprehension and excitement to Liuli with great gratitude. Liuli smiled and pointed to the laurel and begonia: "Have you seen it?" If the two of you can find a capable person like Ji Xiaoquan, you will also have great benefits in the future. ”

Laurel Begonia blushed, no longer twisting Nirvana as before, but looking at each other.

They looked at each other, Liuli suddenly remembered to ignore one thing, counting that the laurel begonia will be eighteen after the New Year, and it should be the time of the Xu family, although most of the dowry girls ended up in the room, Qi Yunhao actually did not have any people in the room except her, if she really accepted them, she really didn't want to say anything about him in the rules, but even if she had this generous heart, being a concubine was not necessarily a good thing for them.

What's more, she really doesn't want them to go down the road of concubines. Seeing the fate of so many aunts in Hefu, Liuli has been their master for so many years, how can she bear to see them follow in the footsteps of those people?

However, this is also a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, and what should be asked still has to be asked. After sitting for a long time, he called Laurel Begonia over and asked, "You two will be eighteen after the New Year, what are your plans?" Do you want to follow the general? ”
