Chapter 170: Rectifying the Rongguo Mansion (I)
After Wang Xifeng was settled, the old god Yang Xin sat on the chair on the ground, casually playing with the white jade lion paperweight of Hetian Yu, and then began to renovate the Rongguo Mansion.
Yang Xin didn't know much about Rongguo Mansion, and he didn't know what the rules of the ancestors had written. In short, all the positions that have weight are replaced by their newly urgently trained henchmen. Then, Yang Xin referred to the modern enterprise model and combined with the actual situation, formulated a new rule, the division of labor is detailed, the responsibilities and rights are clear, and the purchasing, warehouse, and account room are particularly strict. If there are too many people, pick out what you need first, and if you can use one person, you don't need two people, and it's a big deal to give more monthly money.
For example, if you sweep the floor, naturally you can't have four or five people in charge of a yard; There is also a needlework room kitchen that needs to be examined, and only those who have skills will be allowed to enter. Not to mention that the little girl who is only a few years old will be allowed to work, what can the child do. The rest that are pleasing to the eye are released, and the unpleasant ones are sold. Rongguo Mansion, which was full a few months ago, blink of an eye, there are only more than 100 people left.
In addition, Yang Xin has made a bloody investment, with four taels of money per month, responsible for guarding the safety of Rongguo Mansion, patrolling day and night, and is responsible for Yang Xin alone. Although Yang Xin is strong and can suppress an era by himself, he can't do it himself, some things still need to be erranded.
What's more, everyone knows that power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and only with force in hand can Dafang's unique position in this mansion be unshakable.
Therefore, these hundred people only obey Yang Xin's orders, and even Wang Xifeng can't command these homes. And the decoration in the Rongguo Mansion Yang Xin is also a big change, in order to let Jia Yu, the pig teammate, not drag his own hind legs, and don't bother himself for three days, Yang Xin directly moved the horse shed to the Grand View Garden.
Of course, at this time, the Grand View Garden is still a barren place, Yuanchun has not yet been provincial, and the Grand View Garden has not been renovated.
Lights, floors, toilets, bathtubs, air conditioners, etc. are all installed, as for the source of electricity, Yang Xin directly emptied the Grand View Garden, and installed rows of photovoltaic solar panels in the open space, not only Jia Yu's courtyard is equipped with modern facilities according to modern style, Sister Feng's courtyard, Lin Daiyu's small courtyard and so on are equipped with modern facilities.
Rongxi Hall, Jia Mu's courtyard, and Jia Zheng's courtyard remained the same, and they occupied the most elite part of Rongguo Mansion. Since Yang Xin inherited Jia Lian's cause and effect, he can't do whatever he wants, such as fame, even if Yang Xin does whatever he wants, he can't make himself too passive in filial piety.
The treasury was thoroughly cleaned. Useful registers are categorized and stocked monthly. The useless ones tried to be sold, and if they really couldn't be sold, they thought about whether they could be used by the poor people or the Zhuangzi, and they were all sent out.
In terms of expenses, Yang Xin personally filtered one by one, and all those who didn't need them were exempted, diligence and thrift are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, isn't it? Whether it is the eldest lord Jia pardoning his aunt and buying antiques, or the second lord Jia Zheng raising customers, buying calligraphy and paintings, etc., they will no longer go to the public account, if necessary, then ask the two masters to solve their own private financial problems.
As an example, Yang Xin even gathered everyone in Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion together in one night, and in front of everyone, Yang Xin was dressed in black, holding a sharp sword, and swore to the starry sky:
Winter is coming, listen to my oath and witness for me:
The long night is coming, and I will keep watch from now on until I die;
I will not take a concubine, I will not marry an aunt, I will not have a maid;
I will not wear a crown, I will not compete for honor; I will do my duty and die in my life;
I am the sword in the darkness, the guard of the Rongguo Mansion, against the cold flames, the light at the dawn,
Awaken the horn of the sleeper, and protect the shield of the great dry;
I will live and die, tonight, and night.
Not to mention, this night watchman's oath from the world of "A Song of Ice and Fire", after Yang Xin's simple changes, made everyone stunned, only Wang Xifeng's face smiled, I will not take a concubine, not marry an aunt, and have no maids, this is the rhythm of the land to spoil her alone.
There is an oath of the current active family members of Rongguo Mansion, and everyone can only let it go. But Yang Xin's oath couldn't bluff Jia Xin, because Jia Yu's temper attacked, and he was looking for trouble with Yang Xin for three days, and Yang Xin simply took out a big killing weapon: mahjong!
Mahjong is not better than Go, Go is too brain-consuming, mahjong is a suitable entertainment for the whole people, when Yang Xin took out mahjong and taught Jia Yu, Jia Yu played a few handfuls, his eyes lit up in an instant, what good antiques, good aunts and other interests were all thrown aside, every day his wife Mrs. Xing plus two maids began to play mahjong, and they didn't care about finding trouble with Yang Xin.
After making it clear that Jia Yu was amnesty, Yang Xin made a drastic transformation of Rongguo Mansion, as for the opinions of Jia Zheng and Jia Mu, Yang Xin was too lazy to answer, and just found some reasons to fool the past.
The focus of the transformation is on the financial power, that is, the public account, as for how to use the public account of Rongguo Mansion, Yang Xin pulled Wang Xifeng to make a detailed plan, mainly listing several major items:
The first is clothing, food, housing and transportation, which can be understood as logistics according to the modern society;
the second is human relations, and the modern rhetoric is public relations;
the third is the monthly money of the master and the subordinates, which can be understood as wages and funds;
the fourth is to give porridge and rice to the elderly of the Jia family who are unable to work, or the children of poor families, etc., which can be understood as subsistence allowance;
The fifth is to rectify ethnography, which can be understood as a talent reserve.
Among them, the most important is the fifth, rectify the ethnography, if you want Rongguofu not to follow the old path of the original work, you must need talents, whether it is the 21st century, or at this time, the most important thing is talent.
Thinking about the original work, such a big Rongguo Mansion and Ning Guofu do not have a talent who can support the façade, which shows that the responsibility of ethnology education is heavy.
The head of the clan school is Jia Dairu. The first half of Jia Dairu's life is very similar to Fan Jin in "Fan Jin Zhongju of Confucianism". He is a scholar who is as his name suggests, loves to read, and is eager to make a career on the road to the imperial examination.
Maybe it's bad luck, maybe it's because of limited knowledge, he doesn't have Fan Jin's life, Jia Dairu has been unsuccessful in the exam for many years, and at most he has been admitted to Xiucai. With the passage of time, Jia Dairu, who never gave up studying, slowly became an old Confucian who was "old and virtuous".
When Jiafu decided to establish Jia's private school, he became the most suitable "Shuzhang". But Jia Dairu's teaching ability is really a headache, he has read sage books all his life, his management ability is average, he did not manage Jia's private school well, all kinds of floating disciples are inclusive, and the constraints are not effective......
How to treat Jia Dairu? Yang Xin's method is to pay a high salary and pay Jia Dairu three times the salary, just rest for your old man, and don't interfere in the affairs of the clan academy.
The public account of the Rongguo Mansion is now in the hands of Yang Xin, he unceremoniously sent a letter to Lin Ruhai, through the relationship between the champion Lang Lin Ruhai, and the high salary to replace the clan school with a strict and capable gentleman, who teaches the Four Books and Five Classics (Chinese), who teaches poetry (art), who teaches calligraphy and painting (art), who teaches riding and archery (sports), who teaches calculation (mathematics), and who teaches law (law)......
Especially Yang Xin also withstood the pressure of the world again through Lin Ruhai's relationship, found two female gentlemen, and specially taught the hostesses in the family to learn all housekeeping matters such as calculations, Yang Xin looked at it roughly, this probably belongs to the category of accounting, and teaching the hostesses to learn this is to prevent them from being deceived by the slaves of the husband's family and playing fools after marrying.
Yang Xin was even more able to live the relationship between Dai's father-in-law, and invited two grandmothers with official positions to the palace to teach the hostesses etiquette.
Yang Xin also deliberately signed an employment contract with the person invited in accordance with the modern contract method, and Wang Xifeng paid them salaries. Of course, the money ends up being allocated from the public account.
In order to supervise the learning progress of the students of the Jia family in the clan studies, Yang Xin deliberately referred to the nine-year compulsory education and sacrificed a big killer: the exam.
