Chapter 218: Less but Fine

"I still have a few shops and businesses in my hands, but now I can't see them anymore, so I have to bother the shopkeeper Song to go with me to take a look, whether it is sold or exchanged, it is good to help get an idea."

Song Xian has been operating in Sui'an City for many years, and he still knows a lot about the shops everywhere.

So there was no excuse, and the nod should come down.

Then he followed his sister-in-law Liu all the way to inspect the neighborhood in Sui'ancheng.

Speaking of which, the sister-in-law Liu has eight shops in her hands, which were brought from her mother's family, and twenty-four are given by her mother-in-law Gu, so the six rooms given by Du Jingyi are a total of thirty-eight.

There are also hundreds of acres of fertile land and a small village on the outskirts of the city, and these are all the property of the sister-in-law Liu.

Song Xian followed her to inspect one by one, first looking at the lot, then looking at the specific business of the shop, then looking at the shopkeeper and the guys, and finally looking through the shop's account books.

Everywhere he went, he didn't stop for a moment, and he had a count in his heart.

After tossing like this for most of the day, the two turned back to Rong'an Silver Building.

As soon as he entered the backyard, Song Xian didn't say much, and analyzed it when he opened his mouth.

"These shops of the young lady, only one rouge shop and bookstore can be kept, and the others should be sold, one is that the person in charge has no ability, and if it is delayed like this, it will only become more and more losing, and the other is that all kinds of businesses are too many and not refined, which is not only a waste of time but also a waste of energy."

"Business is a thing that is easy to say and easy to say, but difficult to say, if you start business like the young lady, I think it is better to concentrate on doing one or two things."

Song Xian's advice is actually similar to what Du Jingyi said.

Sister-in-law Liu also knew in her heart that those businesses would not succeed, but she was still a little worried about selling them to more than ninety percent.

"I understand what the shopkeeper Song meant, but not all of these shops were brought by my personal mother-in-law, and there were also those left by my mother-in-law, many of the shopkeepers were old people, what should I do with them if the shops were sold?"

Most of the shops left by Mrs. Gu are in good locations, and the shopkeeper and his companions are also loyal.

It's just that because I didn't step on the business opportunity, it gradually fell down.

In the case of a ready-to-wear shop, there was a profit of 10,000 taels a year, but because the style was not updated in time, and the materials were not as innovative as the shops next to them, the business was not very good.

Now that I can keep a profit of 1,000 taels, the shopkeeper has worked very hard, so it is useless to stay.

She hadn't thought about it yet, but she saw that Song Xian had already thought of a countermeasure first.

"If the young lady is worried about the aftermath, why don't you leave it to me, according to the number of years the shopkeepers have been in the shop, there will be an extra severance payment for one more year, and if this arrangement continues, few people will refute it."

Sister-in-law Liu Shi heard this and glanced at Mother Ou, such an idea is not a grievance against those old people, so she nodded and agreed.

"In this case, then this matter will be done according to what Shopkeeper Song said, first send the news of the sale of the shop to the Commercial Department for filing and then make arrangements."

"Well, listen to the order of the young lady."

Subsequently, they discussed and sorted out these shops, and nine out of ten people were to be dismissed, and only a few could stay.

But he didn't do things in the original shop, but first came to Rong'an Yinlou to get started, and the shopkeeper Song had to be trained well before he was arranged to work in other shops.

He was doing these things in an orderly manner, and his sister-in-law Liu watched from the side, and her eyes couldn't help but show admiration.

For many years, she has never been in charge of the house, so she nests in the one acre and three points of land in Dongyuan and watches her two children grow up.

In addition to the gull mother around her, she trusts Steward He and Mama Dou the most.

At this time, somehow, this shopkeeper Song seemed to have a convincing ability, so that she could rest assured that she would explain these things.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile.

By the time everything was arranged, it was getting a little dark.

The wind and snow on the road have gradually become smaller than in the cold winter months.

She came out on this trip and gained a lot.

I sorted out and planned my belongings as quickly as possible, so I felt a little more sure and confident about the road ahead on the way back than when I came.

And the gull mother next to the sister-in-law Liu is also full of excitement at the moment.

"This shopkeeper Song looks young, but he is so sophisticated, such a talent and shop, the sixth young lady said that he would send it, it was really well-intentioned."

If it weren't for Du Jingyi's pregnancy, and the wind and snow outside, I was afraid that she would personally go to help her sister-in-law Liu inspect.

But now, limited to the situation, I can only arrange for the shopkeeper Song to do this.

In the heart of Mother Ou, I thought that she was just a shopkeeper, at most she was just a little more alert, but she didn't expect that there was no humility as a slave in this shopkeeper.

Every time he gave his wife an idea, he did not shy away from the situation of the main family, he always picked the key points and gave a straightforward solution.

Therefore, Gull's mother has a very good impression of him.

"This shopkeeper Song is a person who can do practical things, since my brother and sister sent him to my hands as an errand, naturally he can't let him underestimate me, although he can't be as powerful as his brother and sister, but I think that if I work harder, I can always save some money for Ping'er."

When the time comes, their mother and son will be able to live a smooth life, and they will no longer have to tremble and withhold.

"What Madam said is that Young Master Ping looks much more lively now than before, the days of our big house will definitely be able to go back to the past, no, it is better than before."

"That's what Mom said!"

Although she is an orphan and a widow, her sister-in-law Liu does not want to be left behind.

She doesn't need the pity of others, she just wants to let herself be tough and let her son go to the world.

The chariots and horses drove all the way to the General's Mansion with the sound of people and the bustle, and their good days were just ready to reveal new sprouts like the coming spring day.

On the day the snow melted, the East Palace ushered in a happy event.

Miss Zong took a four-lift soft sedan chair, carried sixty-eight dowries, and entered the East Palace in a pink gown, officially becoming the prince's Liangdi.

I heard that entering the house is a special pet, and it seems that this lady of the Zong family is a person who will take the opportunity to make trouble.

In fact, with her identity, if she wants to compete for the position of side concubine, she also has a chance.

However, he was born two years late, and the positions of the four side concubines have already been human, so they can only be subordinated to others.

However, she is knowledgeable, as soon as she entered the East Palace, she not only won the favor of the prince, but also flattered the princess, so although she is a good person, others are not embarrassed.
