Chapter 183 The housekeeper is worried
Chen Yingyuan was happy and at ease, but Liu Fuqi, the chief steward of the Liu family, couldn't laugh.
The country has invested huge manpower and material resources to provide disaster relief. This huge manpower and material resources are just a word, but when it comes to their Liu family, it takes a lot of materials to be taken out with real money. Only Liu Fuqi and Liu Yuanqiao know how much they have taken out.
After seeing these data, Liu Fuqi couldn't sit still. If it weren't for the master who was hosting or the young master who was hosting, he would have dared to rebel.
But because the host is Liu Yuanqiao, the master he admires and believes most, he dare not say anything, because Liu Yuanqiao is a very steady person and seems to have not done anything missed.
But now it seems that he felt crazy when he saw the young master’s disaster relief plan. Now the master’s plan is even more crazy. Compared with the young master, it is just a small fight.
Liu Fuqi couldn't sit still. He couldn't see what benefits could the Liu family do to come to the Liu family?
The core of the Liu family is the official position of the Linqing Taxation Customs. Liu Yuanqiao sat on this position and was good at dancing, which made them earn huge amounts of property for their Liu family.
But now this position has been lost. When he lost this position, the master was still spending money like crazy. He just changed to a Laizhou prefect. He couldn't see what benefits and money a small Laizhou prefect could bring to their Liu family. Not to mention that he was the Laizhou prefect, even the governor of Denglai would not have been able to get so much money for the Liu family. In this case, he had to rush to Ye County overnight to pay a visit to the Lord.
Liu Fuqi said, "If the master continues like this, our deposited silver and the grain in stock will be used up in a month, and we will not even pay the money for the master's wedding."
Liu Yuanqiao is still the same, with a calm and composed atmosphere, and he always calm and comfortable. He said, "Didn't this official write a plan for you? Just follow the plan and implement it."
Liu Fuqi said, "In a month, our deposit will be completely used up, and there is no money to prepare for the young master's wedding." This is his second reminder.
Liu Yuanqiao said, "I'll talk about it that day."
Liu Fuqi said, "Master! I have been with you for more than 20 years and I have seen a lot of experience, but I can't see what benefits can our Liu family do to do this? A small Laizhou prefect is not worth so much money. He will not generate any output value for our Liu family in the future, and it will even be a burden. In this case, we should save, not spend money on a large scale. If this continues, we will turn from the richest man to the first loss within two months."
Liu Yuanqiao said, "You don't know that this is normal for these things, because I am the master, you are just a housekeeper, and all you need to do is to execute what I instruct you to do. I cannot explain everything to you."
Liu Yuanqiao said this, but he didn't feel anything after hearing Liu Fuqi. After all, he was a servant of others. No matter how severe or unpleasant he scolded him, he had been scolded. Since the master repeatedly scolded him, he had to obey his orders.
Liu Fu said angrily: "Master, will we be too high-profile when we do things like this now? Fang Ruowu, the prefect of Qingzhou, is simply a villain. He and Lin Ruonan are just sworn brothers. Now the world is in chaos, and there are disaster victims everywhere. As officials of the court, they will not help them. They also secretly sent people to spread rumors that our Liu family is malicious in order to rescue disasters and win people's hearts. If the court knows, I am afraid they will be suspicious of our Liu family."
Liu Yuanqiao said: "The court is suspicious, not yet at that point, our Liu family is not as good as the court can suspicious." The power is too small.
Liu Fuqi said: "But the old slave is very angry. We have spent so much money, manpower and material resources to rescue disasters. It would be fine if these people don't help, but they also say bad things about us and pull us back."
Liu Yuanqiao smiled and said, "Do you still expect them to help us? Is this possible?"
Liu Fuqi said angrily: "I didn't expect that these officials are like this. Master, you are now a court official. If you guard the maid side, why don't you write a letter to impeach them for their inaction?"
Liu Yuanqiao said, "Why do you want to impeach them? They are not subordinates of our officials? If they were subordinates of our officials, they would have been taken down long ago and if they were not under their own control, they would not care about the other party's affairs and do their own things."
Liu Fuqi said, "Master, you seem to be confident. Everything should be in your control, right?"
Liu Yuanqiao said: "Has my official done things become as unreliable as Qingzhi, making you feel that you need you to help me remedy it?"
Liu Fuqi said quickly: "I don't dare! I just want to remind the master, and what should Xu Jianqiang do?"
Xu Jianqiang is the butler of the Liu Mansion in Linqing, and he is also considered to be the butler level. However, in his status within the Liu family, he is lower than Liu Fuqi, but he is just a joke to Liu Fuqi.
Liu Yuanqiao said: "What else can a person with no value for use?"
Liu Yuanqiao said this, and Liu Fuqi said, "I understand!" He thought, after all, the Xu family has served for the Liu family for decades, and the old master of the Xu family was also a person who was involved in the era of Old Master Liu. As a result, his descendants were unfilial, even if they were expelled from the Liu family.
In fact, it is not Xu Jianqiang's own problem, but there are many people in the Xu family who work in the Liu family's family industry, which means that all these people will be driven away.
In fact, being driven away was considered very good treatment, because the grandfather Xu Jianqiang signed a death contract, he was a son and a slave of the Liu family. Even if the Liu family sold him, it was not illegal.
Liu Fuqi, he still couldn't help asking, and he said, "Master, you should play a big game of chess, right? Everything is confident. As long as you give a accurate letter, I have nothing to worry about."
Liu Yuanqiao said, "Don't worry, Qingzhi will solve your difficulties for you."
Liu Fuqi originally thought that Liu Yuanqiao had some tricks, but as long as he came out, he would be relieved. Who knew that he said that Liu Bu would solve the problem for him, and he immediately felt frowning. Fortunately, since the second half of this year, the young master has just asked him for money, and he is his wealthy spender. Since he got 170,000, he has probably gotten away from him, but the young master is the one who asked him for money the most.
Liu Yuanqiao said: "If you have nothing to do, go back to Fushan. The old house needs your care, and the old Buddha cannot do without your care."
Since the master has spoken, no matter whether Liu Fuqi is happy or not, he has to go back. Moreover, the master did not give him a reply, but instead made him more doubts. He was thinking that the master is a reliable person after all, and keeps his word. Since he said that the young master has solved the problem, he can solve it for him.
Liu Fuqi originally went to Jimo by the way and wanted to ask the young master what plans he had, but since the master stopped talking, he probably wouldn't even tell him, so he had to give up.
Liu Fuqi was thinking that it might be related to the Zheng family. Now the young master is in the forefront and makes the eldest daughter of the Zheng family feel happy. The two of them are stuck together and they have long become members of the Liu family. If she can take action for the Liu family, many problems will probably be solved.
When Liu Fuqi left Yexian County, snowflakes fell from the sky, which made him feel even more worried. It was snowing in the sky, which meant that the weather became colder. If the weather became colder, it meant that people needed more things, more food, more clothes, and more firewood. What should we do?
Especially firewood, they had already started organizing people to prepare a large amount of firewood. Now it snows, which means that people cannot go out and do other things anymore. They may not even be able to collect firewood from the mountain.
Sure enough, when Liu Fuqi walked out of Ye County in a carriage, he saw that it was snowing, which shocked many people, and many people were shocked: Why is it so early?" The people were not happy because of the snowflakes coming, but were afraid and scared.
There are especially many people who need work. They cannot go out to work when it snows. They stop working. What should I do if this family does?
These days, only those who have nothing to do after eating, and those nobles will happily welcome the arrival of snowflakes, and they can recite poems and write them right. What is even more worried about how they should spend this winter.
Liu Fuqi was considered a wealthy family. He worked for the Liu family better than many landlords and wealthy. With the big tree of the Liu family, he had no worries about food and clothing. Even his sons and daughters had no worries about food and clothing. He could even take care of his relatives and friends, and ensured that they had no worries about food and clothing. However, he was still full of worries when he saw the snow.
He knew that if it snowed, he would consume more things. What should he do?
They can still stabilize and mobilize all the cash bank they can use to transport grain in Jiangnan. After their working capital reached a month, they no longer had cash bank to buy grain. What should we do?
The Zheng family has helped them so much, and transporting grain for free has already helped a lot. Could it be impossible to ask the Zheng family to pay for grain? Because Mr. Zheng is very rich and very rich, it is only a matter of saying that he asks him for 200,000 to 300,000, but it seems that the difference between the Liu family is not 200,000 or 300,000, but more money and grain to spend this winter.
