Hualu just stood aside, watching as Yun Miaomiao began to question shopkeeper Zhao bit by bit. She asked about everything in the shop in detail.
Shopkeeper Zhao didn't take Yun Miaomiao seriously at all. While talking and teaching, he told everything about the shop, everything that could and could not be said.
She lamented that their girls are so powerful. Shopkeeper Zhao used to bully Madam because she didn't know much about business, so he bullied Madam all the time. Now that Miss Yun is here, Hualu wants to see how he can bully others this time.
.
"Oh~" Yun Miaomiao nodded, "So that's what happened. Shopkeeper Zhao worked really hard for the cloth stake business."
"What the hell, isn't it true that Madam is kind to us, and we have to do our best, right?"
"It's a pity that it's not my godmother who is doing her best. You are still thinking about the Xie family. You send a lot of money to the Xie family every year. Shopkeeper Zhao is really awesome and has great abilities.
.”
As she spoke, Yun Miaomiao's expression began to harden, and her eyes towards Shopkeeper Zhao gradually became much darker.
The smile on Shopkeeper Zhao's face froze instantly, "Haha, I, I don't know what you are talking about, girl. It is clearly written in this account book that Mr. Xie's uncle gets three points of profit every month. This is for them.
Dividends, girls can’t talk nonsense.”
"Talking nonsense?" Yun Miaomiao raised her eyebrows, "Shopkeeper Zhao's mouth is really eloquent. If he twists his mouth, it becomes my fault."
Yun Miaomiao placed the account book in her hand, and her aura swayed out, "Shopkeeper Zhao uses the excuse of giving Xie Linhai dividends to give him money every year. Originally, this is a monthly dividend. Why do you pay him again at the end of every year?"
Did you give me a gift? The business of cloth piles is already not doing well. If you make more money every year, you can give away as much as you can. If you don’t make more, you will still give the same amount. I don’t know what the three-point profit is like.
Divided."
"I'm afraid the girl may have read it wrong. The account books above are all..."
"Shopkeeper Zhao!"
Yun Miaomiao didn't want to listen to his sophistry, "You don't have to explain these things to me. I will tell my godfather truthfully about your affairs. Hualu also looked at it. This is not the first time I have read this account book. I also saw it in the Zhao Mansion yesterday.
After watching it for a day, you just personally acknowledged the Xie family’s three-cent profit. In addition, you have constant entertainment every month, and the money withdrawn from the account is also written in the account book, so I don’t need to say more."
She paused and continued, "Let's take the last two months as an example. If I remember correctly, the last two months were exactly when the plague broke out in Ruizhou City. Everyone in the city was in danger.
Concerned about saving your life, you, the cloth shop, are quite different. You risked so much to go out to socialize. You have to socialize with Liu's cloth shop, Qian's clothing shop, and some shops and Zhuangzi outside the city.
For now, I can count you as a dedicated person in the city. The city gates are sealed, so how do you go out to socialize with others, eh?"
Yun Miaomiao's words made Shopkeeper Zhao feel on pins and needles, sweating profusely. He stood up with a pale face and wanted to explain, "Miss Yun, I am doing all this for the cloth pile business. I have never done anything to disgrace the cloth pile."
, I am loyal to Buzhuang and will never betray my wife."
"Shopkeeper Zhao, seeing that you have worked hard for the Zhao family's cloth piles for so many years, I will not send you to the Yamen. You can go to your godfather to explain yourself. You will not use the cloth piles in the future. If the Xie family returns
If I want you, go back and I won't keep you here." Yun Miaomiao did not let go, "Hua Lu, go and call Liu Tong in."
Yun Miaomiao always did things neatly and neatly, and her eyes were shining brightly. She finally understood why Madam liked Miss Yun so much. Miss Yun had a courage that even Madam did not have.
"Girl, you want to fire me?" Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Yun Miaomiao in disbelief.
He stayed at Zhao's Buzhuang for so many years, and in the end he ended up being fired.
Yun Miaomiao looked at him, "If Shopkeeper Zhao has any difficulties, you can go to your godfather to explain. In short, after today, you are no longer the shopkeeper of Zhao's cloth pile."
Liu Tong was quickly invited in by Hua Lu. Seeing Shopkeeper Zhao's dark face, he was too sensible to look at him and said, "Girl, look for me."
"Well, Liu Tong, right?"
"Exactly."
Yun Miaomiao looked away and said calmly, "From today on, you will be the new shopkeeper of Zhao's cloth piles. You go and count the cloths in the warehouse and close the cloth piles for three days. I have other arrangements. Please do the counting."
After that, just send it to Zhao Mansion to Hua Lu."
"ah?"
Is this pie in the sky?
Liu Tong was stunned. On the other hand, shopkeeper Zhao's cheeks were red with anger. He pointed at Liu Tong and cursed, "You let a young boy be the shopkeeper. I think you want to destroy Zhao's cloth pile.
The business is running well, but if you girl insists on interfering with it, I'll go find the master to comment on it."
Shopkeeper Zhao said and walked out of Zhao's cloth pile. It wasn't until he stood outside that he realized that he had been kicked out. He spat on the ground, gritted his teeth and went to the Zhao Mansion to find Magistrate Zhao with anger.
.
Seeing that Liu Tong didn't come back to his senses for a long time, Yun Miaomiao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Can't you do it?"
Only then did Liu Tong come back to his senses and immediately smiled and said, "It's OK for the little one, it's OK for the little one, please don't worry, girl."
After Yun Miaomiao came out of the cloth pile, she went to other shops and changed all the shopkeepers in the shop. That day, magistrate Zhao was filled with shopkeepers who came to complain. One or two of them were crying that Yun Miaomiao didn't know how to do things.
For business, go to the shop and mess around.
"Master, you have to take good care of Miss Yun. If Miss Yun does this, doesn't she push Madam's shop into the fire pit? How can this be done?" Shopkeeper Zhao took the lead and told what Yun Miaomiao was doing in the shop.
Said it all once.
Other shopkeepers also agreed. It was not easy to get a job as shopkeeper. It was a bit lucrative, and the boss didn't take care of things. Who would want to let go of such a good job?
I originally thought that without Mrs. Zhao, Magistrate Zhao would be careless. As the saying goes, if the master is not around, the monkeys will dominate. They have long regarded the shop as their own, and all the money they earned went into their own pockets. Anyway, Magistrate Zhao
Don't even understand.
Who would have thought that Mrs. Zhao's adopted daughter suddenly appeared and broke all the peace.
Looking at the people standing in the courtyard, County Magistrate Zhao gave Butler Zhao a look, "Every shopkeeper, I know your purpose of coming. You are all old people, but I don't see everything about bullying and concealment.
Don’t come out. It was Madam who was very tolerant to you in the past. Now that Madam is gone, everything in the house and shop is under the girl’s control. The girl’s decision is the master’s decision. Since you think it’s unfair to Miss Yun, then we will
Let’s settle all the previous matters and make a proper settlement.”
Shopkeeper Zhao and other shopkeepers originally came to see Magistrate Zhao to make the decision. Who would have thought that Magistrate Zhao would say this, and they were stunned on the spot.
"This~"
Shopkeeper Zhao's face turned completely dark, "Master, Miss Yun is young, so you can't spoil her. This is the shop left by Madam. If it's all destroyed, the loss will be huge."
Magistrate Zhao waved his hand and said indifferently, "I only have one daughter. I won't let her spoil anyone. She can do whatever she likes. In this way, Butler Zhao, you can give them a five-yuan from the account."
Two taels of silver as compensation. If the girl is short of money, it will come from my private treasury. I still have official duties, so I will not continue talking to you."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to react, County Magistrate Zhao turned around and entered the backyard. Butler Zhao stood above and looked at everyone, "Everyone, let's go and follow me to the accounting office to collect the money. This is what the master is doing to you."
After following my wife for so many years, I don’t care about you. If it were before, why would you go to jail for a while? Shopkeeper Zhao, please."
The person who made the most fuss was the shopkeeper Zhao. He was slandering Yun Miaomiao both inside and outside of his words. He didn't even look at who Yun Miaomiao was protecting. Could he, a small shopkeeper, insult him?
When Yun Miaomiao came back, she heard about this incident and felt that what County Magistrate Zhao had done was a complete harm to Shopkeeper Zhao and the others.
However, this was no longer her concern. Things in the shop were indeed not easy. After dinner, she began to think about how to run a good business.
Yun Miaomiao wrote a page of plans and went to bed just before dawn. When County Magistrate Zhao sent someone to ask her to have breakfast, she was not up yet.
"You asked her to be careful about her body. When money is earned, it is not earned. If the body is exhausted, nothing can be exchanged for it." Magistrate Zhao did not have Yun Miaomiao to accompany him to eat, and his appetite was not good, so he dealt with it casually.
After a few mouthfuls, we were out the door.
When Liu Tong arrived, Yun Miaomiao had just woken up, and Hua Lu helped her pack up before coming out to have breakfast.
Yun Miaomiao sat to eat, while Liu Tong sat aside and began to read the list he had made yesterday. While he was reading, someone else came from outside, and Hualu asked everyone to come in together.
.
Fortunately, the place is big enough, and a total of ten people can stand there.
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Tong finished reading the entire list, and Yun Miaomiao also finished the porridge in her bowl.
"Liu Tong, this year is not going well. I have seen the purchase price of cloth. It is double that of last year. But this is not a problem. You did not sell the cloth you brought in last year, and more than half of it is still in the warehouse.
Why do we continue to import a large amount of cloth this year, causing the cloth in the warehouse to be unsold and hoarded?"
Liu Tong replied, "Although the situation last year was a little worse than this year, the price of cloth was still reasonable, so my wife asked shopkeeper Zhao to buy a batch. However, because of the food tax, there were fewer people buying. This year's
The work was brought in by Shopkeeper Zhao. The quality is no better than last year, but the price is more expensive than last year. This is also due to natural disasters. If the cloth in the warehouse is not sold now, the store's business will be lost in the past two months.
It can’t be sustained.”
It was because Yun Miaomiao saw this that she ruthlessly cleaned out Shopkeeper Zhao's moths. If she didn't do this, all the shops would be closed in less than two months.
"Then do you have any good ideas?" Yun Miaomiao felt confident, but she still spoke.
In previous years, shopkeeper Zhao would find a way to solve these things. How could he, a boy at the counter, understand.
He shook his head, obviously there was no other way. Yun Miaomiao moved his eyes and said, "In the future, you will be the shopkeeper of this shop. If you don't want to solve the difficulties encountered in the shop, is it possible that you have no solution and just shake your head?
"
Liu Tong's face turned red when she said it, but he didn't know what to do after thinking about it.
Just as he was sweating anxiously, Yun Miaomiao spoke first, "In this way, tomorrow you can separate for me the cloth that comes in this year, last year's, and the goods that came in the year before.
The bad ones, or the bad ones, are sold at a 30% discount. As long as you buy a good piece of cloth, you can buy the second piece of cloth at a 30% discount."
"But if this is the case, girl, we will even lose our capital." Liu Tong said.
Yun Miaomiao shook her head, "I just heard you say that there are still a few batches of Muyun gauze in the shop. Muyun gauze is expensive, not many people can afford it now, and the rich and powerful don't wear much. You can find a few embroiderers,
Embroider according to the pattern on this drawing. On the day when the shop is reopened, the first 100 people who buy the cloth will be sold according to what I just said. Everyone who comes into the shop and buys cloth will be given a piece of Muyun gauze.
The handkerchiefs will only be sold for three days. When the time comes, you can write a sign and place it in a conspicuous place at the door of the shop so that everyone who enters and passes by can see it."
"Miss Yun, is this idea of yours really okay?" Liu Tong felt that if things continued like this, the shop would be ruined by their girl.
Yun Miaomiao looked at him, "Do you have a better way? That's fine. If you tell me, I'll do it as you please."
He didn't, so Liu Tong immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Yun Miaomiao.
Seeing his silence, Yun Miaomiao asked the person in the next clothing store to start talking. Back and forth, just like the cloth pile, Yun Miaomiao gave his idea. When everyone had finished speaking, Yun Miaomiao was full.
"Everyone, in addition to the things in the shop, there is another thing, which is a great thing for you. This shop is where you eat, and it is also where I eat, but you all belong to the Zhao family's shop, so since
If there is a Zhao family in front, there must be rewards and punishments."
Liu Tong and the others looked at each other, "What do you mean?"
Yun Miaomiao glanced at everyone, "I have made a rule here. In addition to the business of the shop I just mentioned, all of your Zhao's shops must participate in the competition. Whoever has the best business and earns the most money will be ranked first."
A shopkeeper can come to me to receive fifty taels of silver, the second place will receive thirty taels, and the third place will receive twenty taels. If the shop has been at the bottom for a year, you can come to me to find a solution, but it will
Do you understand that two months of your wages will be deducted?"
"Is there such a good thing?" Liu Tong exclaimed.
The other shopkeepers' eyes lit up, fearing that Yun Miaomiao was joking with them, "Miss Yun, are you telling the truth? As long as you rank first in the half-year assessment, you can get fifty taels of silver?"
"Yes." Yun Miaomiao nodded, "This is a document written by me. You are all literate. You will all make a copy later. I will stamp and sign it myself. You can come here to see me with this in the future.
Even if I'm not here, you can still find flower dew. I keep my word. If the business is losing money, this reward will not count. Of course, if you reach the goal I set every year, then the extra part will be
The dividends received from you, that is to say, the money used to reward the stores, as well as the business dividends, will be liquidated at the end of the year. The booklet is here. You can take it back and read it clearly. There are many benefits, but there are also many punishments."
"It's true, it's actually true. If I do a good job in the store and win first place, these fifty taels of silver will be enough for me to marry a wife."
"My son is now rich from studying. I have to think carefully about how to sell the items in the store so that I can win prizes."
"Oh my God, there are bonuses. Miss Yun is trying to promote us. I have to think about it tonight."
"Yes yes yes~"
Seeing that the effect she wanted had been achieved, Yun Miaomiao asked Hualu to pass the booklet in her hand to them and start copying.
Although the content is not much, at first these new shopkeepers had the reward in mind, and one or two of them wanted to go back early to see if there was any way to keep the business in the shop going well.
Hua Lu looked at the people leaving in a hurry and sighed, "Girl, you are so awesome. After thinking about it all night last night, you came up with ideas for all the shops, and they were all the best ideas. You are really our wife's savior."
Ah, you are so awesome."
Yun Miaomiao smiled, "Your wife's shop is also not bad. If it were to be another shop, I really wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Don't think these people are unreliable. If you teach them slowly, they can all be independent. In the future business
The bigger you get, the bigger the rewards will be. Who wouldn’t be tempted by you? As long as the benefits are attractive enough, there will be more people working for you. Hua Lu, you are Madam’s personal maid, and so are you.
The person who understands your wife's heart best, stay with me from now on, and I will teach you how to handle business. When I am not in the Zhao Mansion, these things will be left to you. You can't just show off my powerful side.
You have to see through the essence.”
Hualu knew clearly that Yun Miaomiao would not stay in Ruizhou City for a long time. She should not just be in Zhao Mansion, there should be a bigger place for her to show her talents.
"Girl, you have the gift of reinventing Hualu. If you hadn't helped give ideas to these things, they would have been ruined by the shopkeepers who deceived them. I will definitely learn from them and let the girl feel at ease.
.”
After the new shopkeepers returned, they all closed their shops, put up signs saying they would rest for three days, and began to adjust the items in the store according to Yun Miaomiao's ideas. Some of them actually made some changes based on Yun Miaomiao's ideas.
It has been modified to make it more attractive, and we are waiting to reopen in three days.
After Yun Miaomiao took care of the things in the shop, she took Hua Lu to the best restaurant in the city. She walked around that day and saw not only Zhao's shop, but also all the stores in Ruizhou City.
After reading it again, she realized that it was not just Zhao's shop that she wanted to save, but the entire Ruizhou City.
