The bookkeeper's surname is Xu, he is the old man in the house, after Xie Wan returned to the house the year before last, he immediately cooperated with all the accounts and property, and handed over all the accounts and property, he is a sensible and loyal.

After hearing her words, Xu Shufang sighed and said: "Miss, you don't know, now the expenses of the mansion are completely supported by the monthly rules of the little Hou Ye, the Hou Mansion is big, even if the manpower has been streamlined, but the expenses are still there, and besides, the rules set by the Hou Ye before, the young lady is ......."

In today's Great Jin Dynasty, the princes are all food and have no fiefdoms, and ordinary princely homes, the princes have official positions in addition to their titles, in modern terms, they are two salaries.

But Xie Lin only has a title, which means that he only has one.

In addition, the foundation of the Hou Mansion is not deep, and it has been hollowed out before, and when the family was separated, Xie Wan divided most of the already small industries in order to cut through the mess quickly, and now the income of the Hou Mansion, except for Xie Lin's monthly example, is almost negligible.

The mansion of the Hou Mansion was rewarded by the first emperor when he was the marquis, it was very large, and the house would be broken if no one took care of it, so even if the manpower was streamlined, there should still be something.

In addition, the first Yongyu Hou was born in poverty, so he was very generous to his subordinates, and the monthly cases were given more than usual, so the monthly cases of the subordinates alone were a lot of expenses.

Xu Shufang once proposed to lower the monthly rate of the next person, but Xie Wan refused.

It's not that Xie Wan doesn't want to spend less, but she understands that at any time, a salary cut is a good idea, which will not only lose people's hearts, but also affect her and the reputation of the Hou Mansion.

Looking at Xie Wan's expression, Xu Shufang hesitated for a while and said, "Master Hou has collected some valuable objects in front of him, or ...... it."

Xie Wan shook her head: "Nowadays, many people in the capital are waiting to see the jokes in our mansion, if I sell the items in the mansion at this time, I will fall into the hands of those people." The most important thing is that it is easy for you to lower your head, but it is difficult to lift it up again. ”

At the very least, it will take dozens of times the effort.

This truth, why don't you understand it?

But right now, Fuzhong is in such a situation, and if you don't think about it, the monthly case will not be issued. If it really comes to that point, it will also become the laughing stock of the capital.

Xie Wan looked through the account book and frowned after seeing Zhang's expenses: "The old lady bought bird's nest shark fin again this month?" So much, can she finish eating? ”

Xu Shufang sighed helplessly: "Whether you can finish eating or not, the little old man doesn't know, but there is a purchase every month, Miss, you said that the rules left by the Hou Ye remain unchanged." ”

In fact, in the eyes of Xu Shufang, Zhang's is an old fool who relies on the old and sells the old, and is disrespectful to the old!

Just because the eldest son Fourteen went to the barracks and has not been around, his heart is boundless!

I don't want to think about it, without the deceased Marquis Yongyu, she is now just a peasant woman working in the countryside!

I don't know if it's okay, the little marquis and the eldest lady are also her grandchildren, it's difficult to be like this in the house, she still spends her life luxuriously, as if she is afraid that the little marquis's monthly routine will not be exhausted!

Xie Wan closed the account book and handed it to the Xu account room: "At this time and that time, from today onwards, all these unnecessary expenses in the old lady's room will be cut off." ”

Hearing this, Xu Shufang hesitated and said: "If the old lady makes a fuss, I'm afraid it will be bad for the young lady's reputation." ”

"Then she can't pass it on."

Xie Wan was in no mood to entangle with the Zhang family for this matter now, so she said to Ruhua: "Tell the housekeeper of the same party, from today onwards, no one in the old lady's courtyard will leave the house." ”

The picture nodded and said, "But what if someone from outside comes to see her?" ”

The people outside naturally refer to the brothers Xie Zhikang and Xie Zhifeng.

"Let them speak."

Xie Wan didn't care: "Do they say less bad things about me?" As long as the old lady herself doesn't go outside to cry, it's useless for them to say more. Furthermore, what kind of virtue they are can be seen by anyone who has eyes. ”

Ruhua took the order and left, and the Xu account room also left after finishing the account.

Rushi sighed on the side: "It's never a way to make ends meet." ”

Of course, Xie Wan knew that it was not a solution, but the problem was that she was now in charge of the Hou Mansion, and now that the status of a businessman in this era is low, and she is a woman, if she really shows up to run the industry, the Hou Mansion will make people look down on her.

It doesn't matter if she's alone, as long as life is good, it doesn't matter what others think.

But she is not alone, she still has Xie Lin, and there are many things to do that cannot be lowered and cannot be looked down upon by others.

In the era of imperial power, in the era of agriculture and industry, even if you are the richest businessman in the world, the possibility of overthrowing a power rule is almost zero.

Xie Wan rubbed her forehead and sighed: "Actually, what I lack most now is people, a man. ”

Rushi was instantly shocked when she heard this, and her eyes widened: "Huh?!" ”

"Where did you think of it?" Xie Wan glanced at her with a smile: "I mean, if I have someone like the wooden shopkeeper in my hand, who is not only capable, but also loyal, and can run around for me, I won't have to worry about anything." ”

In fact, women can do it, as long as she has the ability.

The more Xie Wan thought about it, the more she felt that what she lacked most now was people.

She has the capital, she has not touched her mother's dowry, and she also has the idea of making money, after all, she has the memory of her previous life, and the number of various promotional matryoshka dolls is enough.

But now, she is like learning the skills of picking up girls, but she finds out that she is a girl.

Completely unplayable opportunities.

Thinking of this, Xie Wan began to think about Li Yu.

When will he be able to come to her bowl? What the hell would she have to do to hug his thighs? Borrowing his momentum?

It's really not good, you can borrow her a wooden shopkeeper!

Or......

Xie Wan took out the jade pendant from her sleeve and looked at the Yu character in the middle.

Why don't you just take this jade pendant and let him give her someone who can use it? He gave her a jade pendant, which meant that he made her a promise.

Xie Wan hesitated for a moment, but still put away the jade pendant.

Wait, perhaps, without the jade pendant, she can also lend someone from him.

Li Yu, who was dealing with official business, suddenly sneezed.

Hearing this, Xiao Quanzi hurriedly asked, "Is the master cold?" Would you like to add some clothes? ”

Li Yu said lightly: "No need. ”

Seeing him say this, Xiao Quanzi didn't say anything, after all, his grandfather has always been in good health, even if he doesn't wear much in winter, it's spring and noon, so he shouldn't get cold.

He glanced outside, the sun was warm, and it would be time for lunch in a while.

Looking at Li Yu's immobile appearance, Xiao Quanzi couldn't help but say, "Master, I didn't come to the wooden shopkeeper today." ”

Li Yu opened a new piece of music and said lightly: "Naturally, you won't come if you have nothing to do." ”

Xiao Quanzi sighed again when he heard this: "Isn't it just nothing?" Master's words are so ruthless, Miss Xie must have been hurt. ”
