The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 765 Another year of dividends

Although Su Yunduo had consciously completed the industry accounting work under her and Lu Jinkang's names ahead of time, by the end of the year, the account books that needed her approval were still piled up on the desk.

As the actual person in charge of Dafang's property, all the books of Dafang's property were naturally sent to Su Yunduo's case.

Su Yunduo is in charge of the middle feeder of the Zhen Guogong's mansion, and the approval work of some of the Zhonggong's industries naturally falls on Su Yunduo's shoulders.

In order to complete the annual accounting of the industry, Su Yunduo fully mobilized all the manpower he could mobilize and carried out a reasonable division of labor. For this reason, he even specially dispatched several accountants from the industries under his name to assist in the accounting.

Since entering the twelfth lunar month, the maids and women in Xiaofengyuan, especially the maids around Su Yunduo, have been so busy that they never touch the ground. The council hall of Xiaofengyuan is full of "crackling" almost every day from Chenshi to Shenshi. "Crack" the crisp sound of the abacus beads twirling.

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, Su Yunduo has to put his mind to preparing for the Chinese New Year besides checking the accounts.

At this time, the aunts in each house are also calculating the properties in their houses, and the only ones who can help Su Yunduo are the people from Xiaofengyuan and Zhenghetang.

There are not many maids and women in Xiaofengyuan, except for a small part of the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion, most of them are dowry brought by Su Yunduo when he got married. He has not been in the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion for a long time, so he is preparing for the New Year Su Yunduo mainly entrusted the matter to the people in Zhenghetang, and An's directly entrusted Madam Wu to Su Yunduo for the time being, which greatly relieved the pressure on Su Yunduo.

However, even if Madam Ding brought the maid and mother-in-law of Xiaofengyuan to help Su Yunduo check the accounts, and Madam Wu from Zhenghetang led a group of people to help Su Yunduo prepare for the new year, many things still had to be done by Su Yunduo himself. Since entering the twelfth lunar month, Su Yunduo has been checking accounts and preparing New Year's goods even when sleeping and dreaming.

Of course, compared to last year's rush, this year is more organized.

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, all the account books have been calculated, and the heads and shopkeepers who went to Beijing from other places returned to various places to celebrate the New Year with their families with the New Year gifts specially prepared by Su Yunduo.

It's just that Su Yunduo was almost exhausted. From the opening of the auditing of Yujiefang to the completion of the accounting of the last store, Su Yunduo almost couldn't eat or sleep for a whole month, fearing that he might accidentally make a mistake. account.

After the last shopkeeper was sent away, Su Yunduo was so tired that he lost a lot of weight.
But tired is tired, the income to be checked out, the figures on the book are really encouraging, especially the part of the property of Dafang, which is quite gratifying.

Su Yunduo really took over Dafang's property at the end of October last year. The properties belonging to Dafang are good and bad, and some industries are even operating at a loss.

After a year of careful adjustments, all the industries belonging to Dafang have made great progress this year. Although they have not been able to make a lot of money in all industries, at least they have turned losses into profits, but the profits are more or less.

Now that all the accounts have been accounted for, it is natural that when the dividends are distributed in another year, the dividends of Dafang will naturally be put on the agenda.

"This year's Dafang's income has actually increased by more than [-]% compared to last year? How could there be so much? It must be a miscalculation!" Waiting for the auntie to learn about Dafang's income this year, she will look at the money in her hands. Yi Yi looked at each other in blank dismay, even more in disbelief.

This year, apart from small-scale floods in the south and severe snowstorms in the north, Dongling Country can still be said to be in good weather.

Although the floods in the south have affected their respective properties, except for the property in Gongzhong which is in the flooded area, the properties of each house are not in the disaster area, so the impact on the properties in the hands of each house is not great.

However, the snowstorm in the north will not affect the income of each property under their names until at least next year. Therefore, the income of each property this year is good, and it has increased compared with last year, but the increase is not large. It's not enough, but just like that, they already feel very happy.

How come the big house can increase by more than [-]%? !
Miscalculate? !Naturally it is impossible!
Even if there is no help from the accountants in the respective shops, which of the maids and women around Su Yunduo are not good at settling accounts?Not to mention that Su Yunduo personally approved it!

Sure enough, only comparison can hurt, and the aunts of the few rooms looked at Su Yunduo with a lot of eagerness in their eyes.

Aunts and mothers all have sons. Although the sons are big or small, there will always be a day when they marry a wife. If they can marry a capable wife like Su Yunduo at that time, maybe the income in their own house will be can also be greatly increased.

It's a pity that Su Yunduo only has a younger brother and no younger sister, otherwise he would have snatched her to be his daughter-in-law.

If Su Yunduo knew what the aunts were thinking, he would definitely be dumbfounded.

The bonuses that Su Yunduo took care of for Dafang's younger brothers and sisters also came out of the account this time.

Although the money that the brothers and sisters handed over to Su Yunduo was not much, Su Yunduo made the account books seriously.

Because the younger brothers and sisters invested only the dividends given to them by the big house last year that were allocated to them at the beginning of the year, so the total amount of this part of money is really not much, only 250 taels per person.

The aunts naturally looked down on such a small amount of investment, but when they learned the original amount that Lu Jinhua and the others handed over to Su Yunduo, and compared it with the total income given by Su Yunduo, they were stunned. This profit ratio is really amazing.

At the beginning, the bonuses given to Su Yunduo by the younger brothers and sisters were only 250 taels each. After a year of operation, these bonuses have soared from the original 620 taels to [-] taels, and the income is nearly doubled and a half.

Now that the income has been calculated, not only the big house will distribute dividends to everyone according to last year's rules, but Su Yunduo will naturally also liquidate their investments for the younger brothers and sisters according to the regulations set in advance.

Because the imperial court began to seal on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month every year, the academies all over the capital naturally followed in the footsteps of the imperial court. The annual holiday began on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and they would not reopen until the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Now that the annual holiday begins on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the rest on the 21st of the twelfth lunar month will naturally be cancelled.

Although Su Yunduo has started all kinds of preparations for the New Year since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, but it is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month when the real busy year begins. On this day, except for Lu Da and others who are in the border town and cannot return to Beijing, all the people on errands in the house are studying. Everyone is on vacation.

After offering sacrifices to the stove on this day, the Duke of Zhenguo held a lively banquet in the Zhenghe Hall.

After the banquet, Lu Mingyang gave everyone an overview of the income of the Zhen Guo Gong Fu Gong Zhong this year.

Looking at the smiling faces of his uncles and aunts, Su Yunduo suspected that the uncles and aunts didn't know that Lu Mingyang's public income was only a part of it, which was the part that Su Yunduo was responsible for management and accounting.

The Zhen Guogong Mansion still has a considerable amount of property in the hands of Lu Mingyang. Although Su Yunduo is not very clear about how much this part of the property is, he understands that the combination of this part of the property may not be less than the property that was allocated last year.

The reason why Su Yunduo was able to know a general idea was naturally that Lu Mingyang asked Lu Jinkang and An's to secretly disclose it to Su Yunduo.

Although Lu Mingyang handed over the title to Lu Da, he also recognized Lu Da's military talents, but he knew his son like his father, and Lu Mingyang was quite worried about Lu Da's sophistication.

This part of the invisible industry Lu Mingyang does not intend to hand over to Lu Da, and will eventually bypass Lu Da and directly hand it over to Lu Jinkang for management.

Lu Mingyang admired Su Yunduo's ability in managing the family and managing the property, so he allowed Lu Jinkang and An Shi to disclose some information to Su Yunduo in private, and even Lu Mingyang himself would discuss with Su Yunduo about the management and operation of some farm shops from time to time. .

Although Su Yunduo has not had the opportunity to directly participate in the management of the industry, some of her suggestions and management concepts have been implemented in these industries and have achieved good returns.

The income of Gongzhong's industry has also increased by a full [-]% this year. Of course, even if this part of the income doubles, it will not be distributed as a dividend. Naturally, it will stay in Gongzhong.

Because of the increase in public income, Lu Mingyang specially sent a message to Su Yunduo, taking part of the income to buy new clothes for the whole family. In addition, the men will give an extra 100 taels of silver for petty expenses, and the women will each get extra. A set of appearances, so everyone in the house is happy.

The uncles and aunts who benefited from the benefits left happily with their children, but the people in the big room continued to stay.

Su Yunduo asked Lu Mingyang and An's to be witnesses. She wanted to announce to her younger siblings the income of the big house this year and the bonus income she took care of for them.

Originally, what Lu Jinkang meant was not to bother Lu Mingyang and An's, and the eldest room should go back to Xiaofengyuan to deal with it.

However, Su Yunduo felt that it would be more appropriate for Lu Mingyang and An Shi to witness. After all, her younger siblings are not the same mother as Lu Jinkang, and she didn't want to end up with some bad words that would make her work hard and not please her. She is not a holy mother!
Lu Jinkang laughed at her, obviously soft-hearted, but still stubborn!
Su Yunduo could only sigh helplessly. Although she thought she was not the Holy Mother, she was indeed a little soft-hearted in some aspects. As for the matter of taking care of the investment for the three brothers and sisters Lu Jinhua, she was a bit of a Holy Mother.

In her previous life, considering how Lu Jinhua and Lu Yujiao's biological mother Xiao Xu treated her, she would never accept taking care of investment for Lu Jinhua and Lu Yujiao. It is a thankless task, and even the final profit distribution is not intended to be distributed according to the management agreement signed at the beginning, but according to the actual income.

It is simply the Virgin Mary plus [-]!
Su Yunduo first told his younger siblings the results of Dafang's income calculation this year. Lu Jinhua, who was older, could understand these things. Last year, it was divided into dozens of taels of silver.

According to the growth rate of Dafang’s income this year, Lu Jinkang, Lu Jinhua, Lu Yujiao, and Lu Yuya each gained 80 taels more than last year, while Lu Jinzhen and Lu Da each gained 500 taels more. Three thousand and 320 taels were used for distribution, and other proceeds will be reinvested in the same way as last year.

This allocation plan was the result of discussions between Su Yunduo and Lu Jinkang, and he had also communicated with Lu Da early on.

Although Lu Da handed over the management of Dafang's property to Su Yunduo, Lu Da is still the person in charge of the Dafang, so Lu Da must nod for the distribution of income.

Of course, like last year, Lu Da specifically pointed out that Lu Jinkang's distribution ratio should be at least equal to that of Lu Jinzhen, but Lu Jinkang and Su Yunduo were not moved by it, and besides, they really didn't like the few hundred taels of silver.

The reason why Lu Jinkang took the bonus from Dafang was just to show that he belonged to Dafang, that's all.

Lu Jinhua thought about it for a while when he got the big house bonus, and left 30 taels and handed over the other 300 taels to Su Yunduo, asking Su Yunduo to continue to keep it for him. Naturally, Lu Yujiao and Lu Yuya followed suit, but they were different from Lu Jinhua. Li lives in Zhenghetang, and he can't even spend his monthly bills. Where does he need to keep 30 taels by his side? In the end, he will give Su Yunduo all the 330 taels he got from the big house just like last year.

Su Yunduo collected the money from the brother and sister, and asked Baitao to record the amount of the three, then took the account book, and explained in detail the appreciation of the bonus investment that the three brothers and sister had handed over to her over the years .

Of course, Lu Jinhua was the only one who understood.

"Sister-in-law, this money cannot be distributed as you said. Since we signed the agreement, we should speak according to the agreement." Now that Lu Jinhua understood, he naturally knew that Su Yunduo's distribution plan was very different from the agreement, and proposed his own Opinion.

According to the agreement, the money handed over to Su Yunduo by their brothers and sisters is to ask Su Yunduo to take care of it, and Su Yunduo will give them [-]% of the pocket money every year.

But according to Su Yunduo's allocation plan, Su Yunduo invested for them, and the investment effect this year actually exceeded the 250 taels they handed over to Su Yunduo.

Although no one dislikes money, Lu Jinhua is no exception, but a gentleman loves money and needs to get it in a proper way, so Lu Jinhua naturally objected immediately.

"That's right, a gentleman loves money in a proper way, but the sixth brother is a gentleman, so your elder brother and I are villains? If people know that your elder brother and I use your pocket money to make money, then what about your elder brother and I?" A foothold?" Su Yunduo gave Lu Jinhua an angry look, pretending to be angry.

Lu Jinhua wanted to say something more, but Lu Mingyang said: "Your brother and sister-in-law gave it to you, you take it. Remember your brother and sister-in-law's kindness, don't be a white-eyed wolf."

Lu Jinhua was a little bit ashamed. Maybe Lu Mingyang was just talking, but what he heard reminded him of what his mother had said. Speaking of which, his mother was really a white-eyed wolf, otherwise he wouldn't have been locked up in the family temple. Can't get out!

Lu Mingyang opened his mouth, and it would be very simple to implement this matter, and finally signed a new agreement.

Although it was stated that what Zhisu Yunduo invested in was a stable and profitable business, but in order to ensure the safety of Lu Jinhua and the others' funds, the content of this agreement was basically the same as the previous agreement, the only difference was the total amount of the three people.

Because Lu Jinhua kept some money with him, he naturally became the one with the least amount.

For the convenience of calculation, the final amount was 930 taels for Lu Jinhua, and 950 taels for Lu Yujiao and Lu Yuya.

Su Yunduo gave all the bits and pieces of money to Lu Jinhua and the others according to the amount in the distribution plan.

Naturally, Lu Jinkang failed to get all 30 taels, while Lu Yujiao and Lu Yuya also got two taels of silver, which made the little sisters smile with joy.
