As Su Jian walked along, people kept saluting her and thanking her. She looked at their overflowing joy and the way some people were carefully loading copper coins. She felt very complicated, but she was still mostly happy. It seemed that her
The methods and efforts are in the right direction. When everyone has a good life, she will be able to live her own little life with peace of mind and not look out of place.
Back in the yard, Su Jian saw Song Siqi and Ehuang paying wages to everyone at the stone table nearby. Ehuang's expression seemed out of place with them.
The person receiving the money and Song Siqi all had smiles on their faces.
But his pale complexion is becoming increasingly uglier to the naked eye.
"Goose Huang, come here for a moment."
Hearing Su Jian's voice, Ge Huang quickly calmed down the expression on his face, forced a smile and walked to Su Jian's side.
"You have worked hard these past few days. If you are tired, I will allow you to take a day off."
"Miss, I'm not tired, slave!" Gou Huang said quickly, looking at Su Jian eagerly.
Their eyes met, Su Jian looked at Goe Huang carefully and then at Song Siqi: "Aren't you happy working with Mr. Song?" Could it be that Song Siqi was bullying Goe Huang? If so, then she would definitely help Goe Huang regain his position.
Goose Huang shook her head, and when she looked at Song Siqi, she saw that Song Siqi was counting out the copper coins and handing them out to everyone without any hesitation, politeness, or distress. She only felt her flesh hurt even more!
"My servant always thought that we had quite a lot of money on hand. In addition, we are making money selling bean sprouts and tofu. It will be enough to use the money until the store's half-year settlement date."
Su Jian's heart moved. She thought she knew why Goose Huang was unhappy: "How much money do we still have on hand?"
"We still had about 170 taels of silver after settling the accounts before, but after the subsequent purchase of beans, earthen jars and pots, plus daily expenses, etc., and now we have paid wages to everyone, we have less than 50 taels of silver left.
Money." After Goose Huang finished speaking, there was a feeling of pain in his heart. He looked at Su Jian with worry in his eyes: "Even if there is money coming in from selling tofu and bean sprouts, there are still a lot of things being added one after another, and beans also need to be spent.
buy."
Su Jian nodded. What Goose Huang was talking about was the cost. During this period of time, she only focused on investment and did not even calculate the costs and profits.
The reality is cruel. The General's Mansion has nothing but too many people and too many mouths! But now that she has started taking action, she cannot give up halfway.
She wants to live a stable and good life!
Goose Huang looked at Su Jian carefully, observed Su Jian's expression, and finally said hesitantly: "Miss, if we don't give them ten cents as wages honestly, don't pay more. Now almost everyone of them takes
The minimum I received was twenty cents. As for the escorts, I didn’t see what they were doing, so why should I process the money for them separately?”
Su Jian was silent and began to think.
Goose Huang's heart trembled. She was so cowardly that she dared to accuse her young lady. She knelt in front of Su Jian: "Miss, Goose Huang is wrong. Goose Huang just feels sorry for Miss. It would be fine if the master and madam were here at this moment."
.”
Su Jian came back to her senses and quickly helped Goose Huang up. She didn't notice that Song Siqi and the others had already looked towards her: "Don't you remember what I told you? Don't kneel down all the time."
"Miss, I made a mistake. I shouldn't let you worry too."
"You are not wrong, you just told me the actual situation so that I can understand the most real situation." It seems that the task of making money is imminent.
"Miss." Gou Huang was moved and thought of something. She quickly said: "Miss, don't give me monthly money from now on. I still have money on hand."
Hearing this, Su Jian's heart moved and she held Gou Huang's hand: "How is that possible? Most of them can get twenty cents a month, which proves that they are very motivated to work now, which is a good thing. As for the escort team,
You don't see their use now because nothing happens now. In the future, when everyone has extra money and there is an obvious gap, conflicts may arise."
"Miss, what you mean is that when everyone has nothing, there will naturally be no entanglements. But if some people have nothing, or some people have nothing, some people will be jealous?"
"Goose yellow is smart."
Goose Huang opened his mouth. Although he was happy with Su Jian's praise, the money was really running out. What would happen in the future? Her young lady could not be treated badly!
Su Jian noticed Gou Huang's frustration, thought for a while and said, "After you finish paying them the monthly payment, you can go to the city and ask the shopkeepers of the two stores under my name to come to me with their account books."
"yes."
"Okay, pick yourself up and go get to work, don't let outsiders laugh." Su Jian said, gathering the broken hair around Goose-Huang's eyes, watching Goose-Huang leave, then turned around and went to the yard where the broad beans were placed.
Mrs. Li came to report this morning that the broad beans spread out in the dustpan were moldy, so she had to make bean paste and soy sauce quickly.
Su Jian personally sat in charge and directed the women and men headed by Mrs. Li. She asked them to fill the earthen jars in the yard half full with water, and then she personally put perilla in each earthen jar.
She quickly incorporated the perilla and turned the water black. To save time, she used a bamboo stick.
"Do what I just did. After I pass the inspection, put a dustpan of broad beans in each jar, and then add three bowls of salt for me."
After Su Jian finished speaking, she silently watched them busy. When they were almost busy, she spoke again: "When the sun comes out, I want to see every earthen jar basking in the sun. When the sun goes down, use the lid to cover it."
Cover them. Remember in particular, no rainwater can enter the jar. If anyone makes a mistake or does a bad job, the monthly payment will be deducted. On the contrary, if everyone does a good job, each person will receive an extra reward on the day of acceptance.
Five cents."
"Thank you ma'am!"
Su Jian nodded, gave Mrs. Li a few more instructions, and headed out. Because of the actual money, the plan to open a store that she thought could be taken slowly became more urgent. She couldn't help but look around the entire General's Mansion, although everything was there.
It's going in a good direction, but if she can't pay the monthly payment next month, no matter how happy and motivated they are now, they will definitely be unhappy next month, and they may even feel resentful.
, severe cases may lead to chaos.
Why!!
It seems that she has a long way to go if she wants to live a good life.
