Chapter 102: Wishful Buying a House, Hearing Bad News (2)
Xiao Yue explained: "Chengchang's account is very important, and the person who buys the house needs to consider these additional expenses, and if he can't afford the cost of the coal, he may not consider buying the white house." ”
Xu Chengchang continued: "However, according to the current situation of the restaurant and the bookstore, the son does not have to worry about this expense, but others need to consider it if they want to buy this house." ”
After listening to this, Xiao Yue also wanted to know about her financial situation, and she asked, "Chengchang, how is my income now?"
Xu Chengchang said: "Childe, wait a minute, I'll go back to the house and bring the account book to you to see." ”
Xiao Yue nodded, and Xu Chengchang turned around and went back to his room.
Yun Yan seemed to understand a little, "What do Gongzi and Mr. Xu mean is that the asking price of this Baifu is too low, is it because there are not many people who want to buy it?"
Xiao Yue pondered for a while and said, "This should be one of the reasons, but the price of Baifu is indeed too low now. ”
"Well, it would be nice if Master Wen was here," Yun Yan said, "I can ask him to help inquire." ”
"Although this is good, but now Master Wen is also a busy person, and I don't want to trouble him too much. Satsuki sighed.
Xu Chengchang's footsteps were very fast, and he took the account books while Xiao Yue and Yun Yan were talking.
"Childe, at present, the average monthly net surplus of Jiang Shangyue Restaurant is about one hundred taels of silver, and according to the agreement between you and the shopkeeper Cheng, we can share about seventy taels of silver. He changed the account book and opened it, and then said: "The situation over there is better in Bailan Bookstore, the average monthly net surplus is about three hundred and twenty taels of silver, and we can get about one hundred and ten taels of silver, not including the year-end dividends, it is estimated that when the general ledger is made at the end of the year, we can also divide another part." ”
Xiao Yue felt that her monthly income was already at the middle and high income level of the Great Britain, and she was very satisfied, like Wen Youyou jumped three levels in a row, and the current monthly silver was only one hundred and two months, and she was embarrassed to ask him for her master's salary.
She then asked, "What about the current expenditures and balances?"
Xu Chengchang picked up another account book, flipped through it and said to Xiaoyue: "Now the main expenditure is the food and clothing of the family, a total of 1 tael of silver, the monthly pocket money of each person in the house is one tael of silver, and I, Yun Yan and Linglong have a total of one or two silver, excluding the monthly silver issued at the end of the year, and now the balance in the house is about five hundred taels of silver." ”
"Then how much did you expect to spend to buy the courtyard house?" asked Satsuki carefully.
"I used to budget 200 taels of silver, and then add all kinds of bits and pieces, and if the prince wants a carriage, he needs to increase the number of people, at least fifty taels of silver. ”
As soon as Xu Chengchang's words fell, Wen Youyou entered the study, "I have an urgent matter to discuss with your son-in-law, you should avoid it first." ”
Xiao Yue looked up and saw Wen Youyou's head covered in sweat, and it was estimated that she hurried over again, "Is there anything you can't let Mu Shi pass the word on? ”
"Hey!" Wen Youyou sighed, "This is not a trivial matter, I must come and tell you in person." ”
"Okay, Chengchang is not in a hurry about this matter, I'll talk to Master Wen first, and you can avoid it. Xiao Yue asked Yun Yan to pour tea for Wen Youyou, and the two of them left the study.
Xiao Yue didn't know why Wen Youyou, who was busy with official business, would appear in her study room at this time.
Wen Youyu was pacing back and forth in the study in a hurry, Xiao Yue knew that he rarely lost his temper like this, and she didn't bother him, waiting for him to speak.
"Actually, I didn't take it to chance, I knew that this day would come. Wen Youyou stopped and walked to the stool next to Xiao Yue and sat down.
Xiao Yue was silent and looked at him quietly.
"After thinking about it, personal gains and losses are small things, and the rise and fall of countries is big things, so I still need to tell you about this matter. Wen Youyou looked at Xiaoyue with a serious face, and at this time, the personal feelings of the children were temporarily put aside.
"I'm not the kind of person who doesn't care about the big picture, you name it. Xiao Yue faintly felt that this matter was not simple.
"Now the work of the household department is getting more and more difficult, everywhere is asking for money from the household department, but the treasury has no money, it is really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Wen Youyou sighed, "So now the emperor still attaches great importance to the three policies of the household political reform that you suggested before." ”
Xiao Yue took a deep breath and asked, "Then is he determined to see me?"
Wen Youyou looked at Xiao Yue and nodded with expectation in his eyes.
Xiao Yue lowered her head when she heard this, and pondered for a long time. She reflected, in fact, her disgust with Yuan Chenhao came from the seizure of her own book, and he didn't do too much about other things.
Wen Youyou was afraid that Xiao Yue would refuse, so he said cheekily: "There is no silver in this treasury, not only is it a problem that the officials' money can't come out, do you remember, did you suggest to Lord Wang of Changluo Prefecture the strategy of controlling the water of the Yudai River before?"
"I don't remember, I stayed up a couple of nights to write it. Satsuki thought about those nights, in addition to her memory, but also her IQ.
Wen Youyou continued: "Now that Changluo Prefecture has made a detailed water control plan, even the old officials of the Ministry of Industry are surprised to see it, but now there is no money to start construction. ”
Xiao Yue's mind turned a thousand times, she was thinking about why she came to this world, why she met Yuan Chenhao not long after she came, why she met Wen Youyou later, and helped the country write a policy for water control and household reform, could it be that she wanted to use her knowledge to benefit the country and his people?
Wen Youyou saw that her face was expressionless and unmoved, and then said: "Actually, I don't like Yuan Chenhao either, maybe I'm jealous, he has everything, but he is indeed a good king, otherwise I wouldn't serve in the court again." ”
He persuaded bitterly: "I think there may be some misunderstanding about the matter of the book, maybe he is not here for you, and when everything is clear, I am asking him for an explanation, and besides, you are not a stingy person." ”
In fact, what Wen Youyou said later, Xiao Yue didn't listen to a word, she felt that the knowledge she had should be an invisible treasure to the world, she couldn't hide her selfishness, and she shouldn't take care of herself with her hair and wealth, thinking about the people who helped her along the way, as well as the innocent people who were affected by the disaster in Luodai Town, Xiao Yue felt that she could do her part, and now her grievances with Yuan Chenhao actually don't exist, after all, she can't even recognize Wu Yong now, "Actually, I'm still stingy." ”
Wen Youyou's face became worse and worse when he heard this, but he didn't know how to persuade Xiaoyue anymore, and he had finished what he had to say.
Xiaoyue took a sip of tea, and then said: "This is what you said, it is indeed not a trivial matter, nor is it my business alone, it is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, I want to bite this hard bone anyway." ”
Wen Youyou suddenly turned sad into happy, he tilted his head to look at Xiaoyue, kept laughing, and didn't speak.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Yue was looked at by him like this, and kept smirking, panicking in her heart.
Wen Youyou just shook his head, didn't say anything, just laughed, he felt that the little moon in front of him was really incomparably perfect.
