The shopkeeper outside stood for a long time under the scorching afternoon sun, Yu Jinxi instructed the kitchen to make some favorite food for herself, and did not arrange a meal for the shopkeeper, and when she finished eating slowly, she called the shopkeepers in.

The shopkeepers are all human spirits, and this time they can see that this Yu Jinxi is deliberately rectifying them.

Yu Jinxi glanced over, and although the faces of several shopkeepers were a little gray, there was a cat in their eyes.

Yu Jinxi instantly understood that they were in a group.

She didn't speak in a hurry, and took a sip of tea before saying slowly, "Since you all said that this account book is fine, but business is difficult to do this year, so let's lay off some people first to reduce expenses."

You are the shopkeeper and you are familiar with the source of customers, so I won't take you under the knife, but all the shopkeepers' monthly silver is cut off eighty percent, and the shop will tide over the difficulties together. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the shopkeepers changed greatly, and one of them immediately said, "Master, my family, young and old, are waiting for my monthly silver to feed, and at first glance, there is no rice to cook, what can I do with my family?" ”

Yu Jinxi looked at the person who spoke, and the person who spoke was Wu Xuanxi, the shopkeeper of the tea house, who had a shriveled face and a thin body.

"Yes, my lord's family, my family has just increased its population, and if you don't have moonsilver, you will starve to death."

Yu Jinxi looked at Zhang Cheng, the shopkeeper of the Silk Village, who had a big belly comparable to being pregnant for five or six months, his eyes were full of sarcasm, and his brain was full of fat, where did he look like he was going to starve to death?

On the contrary, Wu Xuanxi on the side was short and small.

As soon as these two people spoke, two shopkeepers also echoed, a pawnshop and a winery, all complaining about the lack of money.

The Yu family is far away in Dingzhou, most of the business is in the rich south, there are many nobles in the capital, and a tile can hit an ancestor who has been an official for three generations, and her ancestor did not want to have anything to do with these nobles, so he withdrew from the capital, so in recent years there has been no foundation left in the capital.

These shops were specially placed by the Yu family's parents for Yu Jinxi, the shops are medium, neither big nor small, and they sell special products shipped from Dingzhou, which is not a big business, but it is enough to maintain her decent life.

However, Gu Qiheng had bad intentions, bribed the shopkeeper, secretly placed his buddy, secretly hid the silver, and then complained to her that he had no money.

Yu Jinxi flicked the tea leaves in the teacup and said casually, "It seems that a few of you don't plan to share the hardships with the shop, so if that's the case, I won't leave you, let's go our separate ways." ”

Wu Xuanxi, who was the first to speak, turned white in an instant, Zhang Cheng also had a dish, and the two next to him didn't need to say much.

"There is no money in a few shops, but the main family wants to sell the house to raise money to make up the hole for you, you shopkeepers, you say, why am I keeping you? Is it wronged? ”

Yu Jinxi said in a deep voice, "These shops were originally stores under my name, and they are all sold at this time, and they can still collect some money, which is enough for me to be chic for a while, and the province will let you lose it." ”

As soon as I heard that I was going to sell the shop, several shopkeepers panicked, and the shopkeeper Lin of the pawnshop said, "Master, our pawnshop's business has improved in the past two months. ”

"Your little bit of benefit is not enough, so you are embarrassed to take it out?"

Yu Jinxi's expression was fierce, "A pawnshop, three days and two ends of the lost things, either the dead ones are lost, or the live ones are gone, and then there are cats and dogs, snakes, insects, rats and ants are broken and bitten." ”

"You can't even manage the warehouse, what use do you want?"

"Other shops are also a bunch of bad debts, just close the door, they are all sold, and I don't have to worry about it."

"Qingti, go get the shopkeeper's seal."

Qingti just took a step, Zhang Cheng immediately said, "The master is angry, please don't sell the shop, as long as half a month, half a month I can make the account back, if not, I will definitely roll up the shop and get out, please give me a chance, give my family a chance to live." ”

Wu Xuanxi also hurriedly echoed, "The lord's family is angry, I have a big business right now, as long as it is negotiated, it can be worth a few months' income, you can rest assured, I am just stalking, and I will also negotiate the business." ”

The shopkeeper Lin of the pawnshop and the shopkeeper Chen of the winery also expressed their stance again and again, voluntarily cutting the monthly silver, begging her to give her half a month's chance to turn the tables.

Yu Jinxi deliberately grimaced, thought about it for a while, and then said embarrassedly, "Then for half a month, if I can't see the silver, it's all sold." ”

Seeing her relieved, several shopkeepers were happy on their faces, but before they could thank them, Yu Jinxi said again, "Although I forgive you time, this thing must also be checked clearly, I have asked people to go to the government office to report, and I will count them one by one."

If someone takes advantage of this half a month to steal property and hide account books, don't blame me for being cruel and send you to prison. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, your family lives in the capital, don't go crooked."

The last sentence turned out to be a warning.

A few shopkeepers couldn't help but shudder, their faces were as colorful as a dyed canvas.

Waiting for them to be sent away, Qing Ti frowned and said, "Miss, these dogs are fooling you so much, why didn't you just accept the seal letter just now, it's a hundred, how can you give them half a month's time, isn't that a waste of money?" ”

Even if the monthly silver is reduced, Qingti still feels that those dog things are not worthy.

Yu Jinxi said, "In the past half a month, let them go and revitalize all the bad and dead debts they have done in the past, and hand over the silver to me."

The people brought by the mountain are coming back soon, and the people I looked for before are all prepared for these shopkeepers, and with them, these shops don't want to negotiate a deal in the next half a month. ”

"If you don't want to eat in prison, just get me money."

Cutting the moon silver is just a small punishment and a big commandment, and none of them, the shopkeepers, live on this little moon silver.

Yu Jinxi's eyes were ruthless, this time she not only transferred people from Dingzhou, but also took the purchase lists and details of several stores in the past few years, and if she couldn't get out of the account, they all had to go in, so she didn't believe that Gu Qiheng was not in a hurry.

A few small shops can't be taken down, and he still wants to go to Ho Ho Yu's house, which is just a pipe dream.

Just thinking about it, Mama Qian beside Yu Jinxi came in with a post, "Miss, it was sent by the banquet family next door." ”

Feast?

Yu Jinxi took the post and took a look, it was a collection of poems held by the beloved daughter of Master Zhang, a bachelor of Hanlin University, and a post sent by it.

The girl of the Zhang family?

Yu Jinxi thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered this girl, in her previous life, she was married to the son of Lord Qian of the Ministry of Households, and later was divorced in public, but she turned around and married the third prince of the dynasty and became a princess.

She remembered that in her previous life, the third prince was deposed not long after he got married, and there was a lot of trouble at that time, and many rich and noble families in Beijing followed suit.

Where did Yanhuai's post come from, and what did he hand her for?
