Chapter 3: The Rich "Wronged Boss"
In the following days, Sinampei became more and more busy, not only technical problems, but also the preparation and organization of factory buildings, many of which were pushed to Sinampe by Theresa.
In this way, he must come into contact with paper writing, which is even more difficult for Si Nanpei, who doesn't know a single letter, than to escape the inspection of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
But while wanting to scold his mother, Sinan Pei was also a little proud, anyway, now is a good start for a successful person, right?
"At least it's better than in the old days. Sinampei hypnotized himself while dealing with his work, "Now I can find a good boss." ”
As the work deepened, Sinanpei also found that the young duke probably really wanted to help the victims, and her high-end soap marketing plan was also rejected by her.
"Si, why do you want to set such a high price? The manufacturing technique of this soap is not complicated, it is easy for others to learn, and the cost is very low......
"This is the only way to maintain the highest profits. ”
"I want more people to use soap than profits. ”
Looking at the girl's bright smile, Sinampei could only shrug her shoulders and agree to her request. Although Sinampei wanted to say, "Little girl, you are so naïve!" But after all, she is her current boss.
Small profits but quick turnover...... Anyway, in his opinion, even if there is only a 12% "meager" profit, it is a good deal that cannot be found with a lantern.
In these days, Sinampei also discovered that Theresa did not interfere in the affairs of her territory, and the administrative and judicial work was taken care of by the mayors and judges elected by the people themselves. The three-tier councils, on the other hand, exist as the restraints of the executive branch.
The only bureaucrats subordinate to the duke were the tax collectors at all levels.
This duke is idle, and he doesn't have to worry about sitting on the ground to collect money. Sinan Pei is a little jealous, this is a typical Bai Fumei on the earth.
At the same time, Sinampe was very curious, whether this was the case in the entire Capetian Kingdom, which is the country where Sinampe is currently located. Located on the west coast of a continent called Eugenia, she is the premier power on the entire continent.
"Nor is it so, there is only such a tradition in the family of the Duchesses. Abel, the deputy assigned by Theresa to Sinampei, a young man from a rural background who seemed to be very clever, explained to him, "The Duchess is often ridiculed by those stupid nobles, and in my opinion, the Duchess is much better than them!"
It seems that the duke who hangs the land is quite loved. Sinan Pei smiled bitterly and scratched his nose. He thought that he was now working under the landlord's wife, and he would probably be a typical lackey of the feudal lord in the revolutionary model play, right?
If the figures on profits and workers' wages had been handed down to future generations, Sinampei had no doubt that he would have been judged in such a way.
"By the way, what about the Duke and her guardian?" He already knew why Theresa had inherited the title at such a young age, and it was nothing more than the death of both parents, and he wisely did not ask, but he wanted to know who would take care of her property? He did not think that a small child could keep this huge family business—he knew how rich she was by the decoration of her luxurious castle and the armor of her guards.
"The Duchess has just celebrated her fifteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony and has only recently returned to the realm. Previously, the Duke's estate was managed by the royal family. Abel explained.
This is also normal, maybe this Theresa has something to do with the royal family. However, Sinan Pei thought in his heart: "I don't know how much money the royal family was greedy for ink when Theresa was still ignorant, no matter how you think about it, it won't be a small amount." "Ever since he stepped into society, he has learned to speculate with the worst malice.
And at the same time, he also solved a puzzle in his heart, why did Theresa trust himself so easily - co-authoring her can only be regarded as a little girl who has not been deeply involved in the world!
It is estimated that the people treat her like a mascot, no wonder they love her so much. Who doesn't like a light-hearted, "respectful" and lovely lord?
But Sinampei soon found out that he was wrong, and his understanding of the reasons for Theresa's popularity was very wrong. The reason is that one day when he came to report to Theresa, he saw her carefully studying her own ledger.
"Dukedom of Auvergne, county of Leland...... The total annual income of 1,423 was 37,412 livres, which was turned over to the state treasury 11,100 livres to help the victims, assist in water conservancy, build public works, assist in municipal work, sponsor universities and artists, and donate to churches...... A total of fourteen thousand six hundred and sixty-five livres!" Si Nanpei almost fainted.
The livre is currently the currency unit used on the Eurginia continent, according to Sinampe's investigation, the value of a livr is converted to the concept of 360 grams of silver on the earth, in this era of extreme scarcity of precious metals, Theresa's wealth is enough to make her a rich country......
Si Nanpei almost jumped up and scolded the loser! This girl really doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are! Forty percent of the year's income is taken out to do charity? The first charity in Hong Kong and Macao has not reached this point!
Only 30% of the people who have handed over to the treasury to support the king are ...... Sinampei's facial muscles trembled a little. As far as he knew, other nobles would not give the money in their territories to the king "kindly", and even now that the Capetian kingdom is facing the threat of the kingdom of Caledonia, a powerful enemy in the west, the nobles still adhere to the principles of the past, and are only willing to provide soldiers to the king, but not to provide funds to the king - in short, although the Capetian kingdom is the largest power on the mainland, it is a feudal power with a rigid system.
Theresa's generosity made Sinan Pei can't help but complain in his heart: "Okay, we all know that you are a rich woman, but you can't be so extravagant, right? I'm also poor, so you can't support me a little?"
When Sinampei casually asked the reason, Theresa just said lightly: "It's only forty percent, it's normal, this is also our family tradition." ”
Tradition...... What kind of stupid family would have such a tradition! Sinampei finally understood why Theresa was so popular in the territory, and why she was ridiculed by other nobles, it turned out that she was the biggest wrongdoer in her territory, and there was no one.
What should I do if I can't make ends meet with such a large amount of money?
"Can't make ends meet? Theresa looked proud, "I have a surplus every year, and the money and food are rotting in the warehouse!"
