"Stand upright, take a break, stand upright, take a break, stand upright, take a break." In the square of the mansion, more than 500 slaves were undergoing morning training, and a strong man of great size stood on the newly built high platform beside him and shouted loudly.

His voice was so penetrating that even if there was no horn, a casual shout could spread throughout the square, and with it, the corresponding movements of the slaves in the square were uniform, and no one dared to hesitate.

All those who hesitated were arrested by Wang Daxiong and others at this time, and they were receiving corporal punishment on the side.

After Wang left the training for a few years, the authority was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the obedience of these house slaves was greatly improved compared to the beginning, and as soon as Xiang Shaolong took over, he was even more familiar with the training routines, and soon entered the state.

"This Xiang Shaolong is worthy of being Mr.'s fellow countryman, and if he has some ability, fifty guards broke eight hundred horse thieves, and now it seems that Mr.'s kind of training method, he is also extremely proficient."

On the side of the square, on the sentry towers around this mansion, the guard battalion responsible for guarding this mansion turned Zhao Ding's eyes to this side from time to time.

"Such a talent, just to train slaves for Mr., it's a pity to be a guard leader, it's better to report to the king, come rì This young dragon may really be the next Lian Po general of my Zhao country."

Zhao Guang thought so, but he didn't know what to say, all of this was in Wang Li's calculations, and it was also the reason why he asked Xiang Shaolong to do this, just waiting for him to report to King Zhao.

Zhao Wang came to promote after knowing the Tao, instead of being directly recommended by him Wang Li, the former and the latter are completely different things, and the effect is completely different.

"Master, the above is the approximate income and expenses of this mansion for a year." The little old man's butler, Zhao Guang, reported the accounts of the entire mansion, and peeked at Wang Li from time to time.

Wang Li listened carefully one by one, these accounts were not really important to him, they were just a small amount of money, but this was something that had to be paid attention to, and this was part of the rules of his house.

There are four main incomes of this mansion, the income from cultivated land, the income from fish pond farming, the income from the collection of rent from some fields, and the income from the work of craftsmen and outsiders in the mansion.

And the expenses are mainly the most basic living expenses of the slaves, such as food, clothing, etc., as well as the rewards given to mobilize the slaves to do their work actively, and the rewards given to individual slaves for the completion of their work.

In addition, during the busy farming season, it is necessary to invite the civilians who live around the fields to come and work for a short time, provide them with food, and also pay them according to rì. This is basically a fixed figure and does not change up or down.

The wear and tear of agricultural tools and the purchase of various tools are also a type of expense.

In addition, another major expense is the repair of the mansion, the repair of the house everywhere, etc., the labor is naturally the slave in the house, but in many places, it is also necessary to consume building materials, mostly material costs.

Wang Li listened to the old man's report one by one, and only heard the old man tell the head of the various incomes and expenses of the mansion, and predicted how much it would be this year, and gave the budget.

Seeing that he didn't bring the bamboo slips and silks used to record, it can be seen that these are all recorded in his mind, just looking at this performance, this old man is undoubtedly a very qualified housekeeper.

For the Warring States Period, there was such a housekeeper in the house, Wang Li was quite satisfied. "Steward Zhao, I don't know how you memorized these numbers and remembered them so clearly?"

He asked with interest, and when the little old man heard it, his face was happy, and he said proudly: "Master, I said when I reported to the master just now, these accounts, many items are roughly the same every year, and the difference between the top and bottom is not too big, these are almost fixed, as long as you handle a lot, you don't need to deliberately remember them." ”

"For the other part of the unpredictable, I also determine an unpredictable expense in the income every year, as a separate expense, usually this expense is sufficient, and if it is not used up, it will also be replenished into the income."

"Therefore, this is unpredictable, and it can also be recorded as a fixed number in disguise, at most, when the accounts are consolidated at the end of the year, it will be slightly adjusted to determine the income of the mansion after deducting expenses for a year."

Wang Li nodded when he listened, this housekeeper can still budget like this, it is really beyond his expectations: "Not bad, not bad, you manage the operation of this mansion very well." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, this is what a villain should do." Zhao Guang's mouth was about to crack with a smile on his face, but he said modestly, peeking at Wang Li's expression with his small eyes from time to time.

"My rules, as I said before, are clear rewards and punishments, as long as you do a good job, there will be a reward." Wang Li said to the housekeeper, and took out two blank pieces of paper from his arms: "I have made some additions and changes to the original rules of the mansion. ”

"In particular, there are some big changes in the aspect of mobilizing slaves to actively xìng, you can take these relevant changes, and then put forward your opinions according to the actual situation in the prefecture to see if there is anything inappropriate?"

Zhao Guang looked at the white paper in Wang Li's hand in amazement, this kind of thing that recorded words, he had never seen it before, he was cautious, as if he had taken a treasure, and took it into his hand and looked at it carefully.

In this era, it is impossible for ordinary people to be literate, only the nobles are literate, and some professionals who depend on the aristocracy for survival, like Zhao Guang, whose ancestors have been housekeepers with the royal family and nobles for generations, such as arithmetic, management, literacy, and many other jobs, he can do.

"The master is talented." Zhao Guang looked at the words on the white paper, and quickly sighed: "There is nothing to change at all, it can be implemented in the mansion, it is much more powerful than the little idea of the villain in the past." ”

"That's fine, I just heard you say that there are craftsmen who can do carpentry among the slaves in our house, and these craftsmen can do carpentry work?"

Wang Li really wants to get the tables and chairs out now, he is annoyed by the kneeling and sitting in this era, the kneeling body is upright, quite jīng divine momentum, but as long as he is a normal person, which blood can be smooth after kneeling for a long time? It's all whole, and the whole leg and foot are numb.

"Master, the craftsmen of our mansion are all crafts that have been passed down from generation to generation, all kinds of carpentry, as long as the master says a word, they can all make it, in addition to the carpenters who can do carpentry, there are also masons who can build houses and houses in the house, originally when the horse was in the past, there were blacksmiths in the house, but later General Zhao lost the Changping War, the mansion was confiscated, and a blacksmith was transferred."

There are so many talents in my mansion?

"Okay, then you can summon those carpenters after the morning, I have something to tell them to do, and besides, you can count all the talented people in the house, and give me a list of their names and talents."

"How are these people usually treated in the prefecture?"

Wang Li was extremely happy to learn that there were such talents in the mansion, originally he thought that the mansion was full of ordinary slaves, and at most it would be good to summon some strength.

He now feels that he is thinking wrong, this is the era of co-rule between the king and the nobles, and some people who have no identity are either slaves in the aristocratic family, or the nobles are trained for their own families, or the children of the nobles and other nobles are the disciples and guests.

And due to the Warring States disputes, there are seven kingdoms, and there is no suppression of merchants after the great unification in this era, so in addition to the nobles, there are also wealthy merchants, and their status is not to be underestimated.

And Lü Buwei started with a good value of goods, and he played a trick of strange goods, and now he has a high position in the Qin State, and the vague phase is already within reach.

These wealthy businessmen or themselves are outstanding talents, and after the industry grows, they are also searching everywhere, just look at Tao Fang as soon as he sees Xiang Shaolong, he immediately recruits to know the strength of the collection.

In Handan City and other cities, there are often nobles and wealthy merchants set up recruitment halls and samurai inns, all of which are seen to recruit talents, and in this Warring States period that worships the strong, the samurai halls are the most opened.

The largest samurai lodge in Handan City is undoubtedly the Zhao Samurai Lodge, which was opened with the support of the Zhao royal family.

"Back to the master, the treatment of the servants in the house is mainly in terms of clothing, food and accommodation, the lowest is the ordinary one who can only make the strength of the people, and the slightly higher one is the one who is out of the sè, which is the lowest class, and the one who comes out of the sè is more abundant in food and warmer in clothing."

"Then there are the craftsmen, the lowest craftsmen are also higher than ordinary slaves, and they are also divided into sè and non-sè, those who come out of sè eat better, dress warmer, and live well, and can be the head of the craftsman, and can enjoy several slaves."

Hearing what Zhao Guang said, Wang Li thought about the blank paper he gave, what kind of routine of competition rewards and punishments, it turned out that there was a similar system in this mansion, and the nobles of this era have been using slaves for a long time, and they have their own rules, and his routines now seem to be only supplements and refinements.

Wang Li remembered the story of the three caves of the cunning rabbit that he had heard in later generations, the protagonist of the story was not a slave, but a "scholar" who took refuge in Meng Weijun, this scholar was not a nobleman, but a talent from a noble background but not qualified to inherit the family business.

The man successively asked Meng Weijun to eat meat, to dress, to live in a good house, to be a slave, to travel to a carriage and horses, just look at this story, you can know how the hierarchy of the wealthy family monks.

"It seems that I only know about this era in later generations, and I don't know enough about it." Wang Li pondered: "It is necessary to understand and investigate deeply, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to achieve my ambitions." ”

"Okay, you go down, combine the regulations I just wrote with the actual situation in this mansion, you draft a new regulation, and then report to me, if you can, you can implement it in the mansion."

Zhao Guang put away the paper, and did not even dare to fold it, for fear of damaging the paper, he knelt down and separated from Wang to the end, then retreated to the door, and then turned out of the door. This kind of etiquette is the most respectful.

"Wang Daxiong, go arrange the carriage and horses, take your people, and go to Handan Street with me to have a look."
