Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Test
Hearing the urging, the woman frowned and said, "The person is here, but you have to think clearly, once you use it, what will happen in the future, the bank will not be responsible." ”
"It's okay, call him out."
Chen Kan doesn't like to deal with people who are grinding and chirping, even if the other party may be a beautiful woman.
Seeing Chen Kan's resolute attitude, the woman no longer comforted, and said with a thousand blessings: "Please come in and sit down for a while, and the slave family will go and call someone." ”
Chen Kan nodded, handed the reins to the little guy in the tooth shop, and entered the door to find a place to sit down.
The sharp-eyed little guy quickly served the tea, and after Chen Kan reached out to take it, he began to look at the furnishings in the house.
After about a cup of tea, the woman went and returned, followed by a middle-aged man who had been standing for a long time.
The woman took the middle-aged man to Chen Kan and gave a salute to Chen Kan, and introduced Chen Kan: "Son, this is the slave elder brother, who was originally the housekeeper of Uncle Zhongyong's mansion, but a few days ago, Uncle Zhongyong was involved in the case of King Jin's rebellion, and my brother had no livelihood, if it wasn't for his own family, the little woman wouldn't dare to introduce it to you." ”
The man took a step forward and arched his hand towards Chen Kan and said, "Villain Yuncheng, I've seen Chen Gongzi." ”
"Do you recognize me?"
Chen Kan was a little surprised, is he so famous now?
A different color also flashed in the woman's eyes, this young man was actually someone his brother knew, could it be that he was also the son of a big family?
Yun Cheng was neither humble nor arrogant: "The villain has been a housekeeper in the Zhongyong Mansion for six years, so he naturally recognizes you." ”
Chen Kan realized that he might have picked up a treasure.
The housekeeper in the noble mansion needs to know not only the master's family, but also the relatives, friends, colleagues, and bosses of the master's family, so as to help the master's family deal with various interpersonal relationships and human feelings.
Such a housekeeper, if you want to cultivate it, don't even think about it if you don't throw dozens or hundreds of taels of silver into it.
"Okay, it's you!"
Chen Kan immediately made a decision, beckoned to the woman and said, "How to calculate the salary and how to draw up the contract?" ”
The woman stepped forward quickly, took out the contract that had already been prepared from her arms and put it on the table in front of Chen Kan, and said: "The salary needs to be negotiated by the two of you yourself, as for the deadline, the slave family's suggestion is to sign it for five years first." ”
Chen Kan took a look at the contract, the salary and the term of employment were blank, and the commission of the dental bank was that Chen Kan needed to pay 30 eldest sons to the dental bank every month until the contract was terminated.
Three hundred and sixty Hongwu Tongbao a year, which is 1,800 yuan in five years.
It's less than two pennies, and it's not expensive.
Glancing at the contract, Chen Kan raised his head and asked, "Yun Cheng, how much money do you have in the Zhongyong Mansion?" ”
Yun Cheng replied again: "Back to Gongzi Chen, the villain is hanging five times a month in the Zhongyong Uncle's Mansion." ”
As soon as these words came out, the woman gave the man a look, which meant that the monthly money was too high.
Now the price of rice is stable at about five yuan a catty, and five yuan is enough for the expenses of an ordinary family of six for half a year.
The annual salary of a nine-grade official is only 60 stone rice, which is converted into five yuan a month, and half of them have to be folded with treasure banknotes that are no different from waste paper.
And Yun Cheng is just a housekeeper who was implicated by the criminal officer and no one dared to use it, what if he is now offering such a high monthly money to scare people away?
"Five pennies?"
Chen Kan's brows furrowed, he casually rewarded ten taels of silver when he was in Jinyiwei, okay?
Dongzhu, which was worth a thousand gold, was casually thrown to Shi Wen and them to share.
Even the yellow dog can get 1,300 taels, and the role of the housekeeper is even more important.
Five hanging money, is this looking down on my diamond Chen Lao Wu?
And Yun Cheng thought that his asking price was too high, and he was about to say something to fight for it again.
Hearing Chen Kan shake his head and say: "Five hanging money, it's too shameless to say it, I, Chen Kan, can't afford to lose this person, give you twenty taels of silver, and add it as appropriate if you behave well in the future." ”
As soon as Chen Kan's words fell, the room was suddenly so quiet that it could be heard.
Looking at the stunned appearance of the woman and Yun Cheng, Chen Kan shouted in his heart: "Cool~"
It turns out that the loser can be so cool, rich, it's good!
The contract was in triplicate, with twenty hangings in the salary column and five years in the deadline column, Chen Kan signed his name, took out a silver ingot of five taels from his bosom and threw it to the woman and said, "You don't need to look for your intermediary fee." ”
Then he threw two silver ingots of ten taels to Yun Cheng, and instructed: "You should know about the mansion of this son, the old mansion of the Marquis of Puding, advance your monthly money for a month, and tomorrow my son will see that the house has the appearance of the Hou Mansion, this is the key." ”
Slapping the key on the table, Chen Kan got up and prepared to go home, looked at the contract on the table, and it seemed that this thing still needed a certificate from the government to take effect, so he threw it to Yun Cheng.
"Get it!"
was ruthlessly a loser, Chen Kan beat his horse and ran out of Nanchengfang City refreshed.
The two people in the tooth shop looked at each other and put away the contract and key.
At the same time, a thought came to my mind: "Where did you come from?" ”
Of course, the loser is cool, but Chen Kan's twenty taels of silver are not spent in vain, and he only told Yun Cheng the location of the house, which was the first test that Chen Kan gave him.
The contract that required him to get Chen Kan was the second test.
If he passes the first test, it proves that he is a qualified housekeeper, and it is no problem to manage the trivial chores of the housekeeper.
If he also passes the second test, it means that he has the ability to deal with the government, and then the position of the foreign housekeeper will be his.
Chen Kan has always attached great importance to how to handle the people who are close to his confidants.
Lessons from the past and teachers of the future, how many people died at the hands of those little people close to them.
As an aspiring young man who has gone through the 5,000-year history of power and conspiracy in China, Chen Kan naturally would not make such a low-level mistake.
If you want to use a person, you must first deter him fiercely.
Of course, it is not excluded that the money picked up will not be distressed to spend.
After finishing the affairs of the house, Chen Kan unknowingly came to the yamen of the Nancheng Terracotta Division.
The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is not a yamen, but a general name for the five yamen.
They are in the southeast, northwest and middle, in which the supreme leader is called the commander, is the sixth grade, under the jurisdiction of two deputy commanders, from the sixth grade, one from the official, and several soap officials.
It is somewhat similar to the meaning of the urban regional public security bureau in later generations, and the five regions are divided into districts and administered by each other, and there is no unified relationship between them.
Now Chen Kan basically understands why Zhu Di asked him to come to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.
is to ask him to sing red face, and Ji Gang to sing white face.
At the same time, it forms a relationship of mutual restraint, mutual competition, and even mutual antagonism with Jinyiwei.
