My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 42 Personnel

Brother Jiu fell into deep thought.

After a while, Brother Jiu thought of the key point: "I understand... the more you get together, the more choices you have, and the more willing customers are to go. If you get tired of eating at this one, eat at the other... Silk and satin shops are almost the same, no Maybe every store has the same type of inventory, this one is incomplete, and I bought it next door, so I don’t have to go to the other side..."

"Maybe it's the shopkeeper's first time in charge..."

Because it was the manpower provided by the mother's family, Brother Jiu was partial, so he helped to say something.

Shu Shu didn't speak, got up and went into the room, and came out with a half-sized jewelry box.

The jewelry box was opened and divided into two layers.

Shu Shu picked up an ordinary filigree golden flower, and handed it to Brother Jiu: "I have been to Qianjinfang a few times before, and I have seen the jewelry on the cabinet...Look at this, it is similar to the stock in Qianjinfang before." What's the difference..."

Brother Jiu recognized Shu Shu's ability very much in his heart, but he didn't raise the bar again. He took the filigree ball and looked at it carefully, and hesitated for a while and said, "This craftsmanship is more exquisite? It doesn't use much gold, so the selling price shouldn't be too high." High! Those of Qianjinfang are earlier, the style is not exquisite enough? The weight is too real?"

Shu Shu nodded and said: "I also listened to what I told Shopkeeper Hou when I was packing up Qianjinfang in April... You need to find the right buyer for this thing...

The older generation of Baqi is Shangjian, like me and the generation of Ernie and the others. They usually wear their hair in a bun, and the jewelry is not on the top. They are mostly pressed into jewelry boxes or rewarding people...

If the family is a little rich, they have their own craftsmen, or directly seek craftsmen from the House of Internal Affairs, and do not buy gold and silver wares outside...

Even if someone from an upper-middle or middle-class family background buys these, it is still a dowry or dowry for their children...

But the younger generation has a younger generation's preferences, and now the Eight Banners are Sinicized, ladies also put on heavy makeup, and there are more jewelry on them...

They all follow the trend in the south of the Yangtze River, where filigree is popular, and the best selling style in Beijing is filigree...

Diancui is popular over there, and before March, the capital also began to sell a lot of Diancui...

The gold and silver items in the Qianjinfang are real, and there are also some inlaid with precious gems...

But middle-level people can't afford it, and those who can afford it don't like it. Besides suppressing it, who else should they sell it to? "

Although Brother Nine slanders his wife as "often reasonable" in his heart, he is not one who cannot listen to reason.

He thought back to the jewelry on the cabinet in Qianjinfang, and thought about their prices. Could it be that people who can go shopping can't afford it, and powerful people don't come to see it.

Brother Jiu couldn't help being annoyed, his eyes sparkled, and he asked: "What else? If you want this alone, you won't even give me a spare job... You can just leave the teahouse with someone watching, and it's not a big deal. Errand..."

"There are still personnel matters..."

After more than two months, Shu Shu still remembered the scene of that day.

"Whether the silver shop is good or bad, the appearance of the jewelry is important, and the craftsman is the foundation...

Otherwise, if you use outside craftsmen, how can you ensure that the appearance of the jewelry will not leak out?The key is that the personnel is bloated, there are about forty people in the small silver building, and there are only a dozen logistics guards and cooks...

We must know that although the Shun'an Silver House is an old brand with better business, it does not support any idlers, and there are less than twenty craftsmen...

Don't say anything else, just say that cook, do you need to raise two?With a cook, do you want to buy it?A street is full of shops, large and small food shops, like the Shun'an Bank House, which manages a meal at noon and outsources it, with a dozen people, and a few taels of silver per month...

In Master’s Qianjinfang, there are only monthly cases for cooks, buyers, etc., and I’m afraid it’s more than ten taels of silver..."

Brother Nine listened, his little face drooped.

It's not that he was angry with Shu Shu, he realized that he was being treated as a "big family".

Although he is interested in economic transactions, but to put it bluntly, he is "talking on paper", and Qianjinfang is the first example.

And because he was in the palace, it was inconvenient for him to come and go, so he left it to the shopkeeper to take care of everything.

Fortunately, he looked at his grandfather's face and felt sorry for those two servants.

Thinking about it now, it's not like the whole family is crammed into a silver building to get monthly money!
The shopkeeper's mother-in-law is in charge of the logistics and sundries, and is responsible for the purchases. The eldest son is the nursing home, and the eldest daughter-in-law works on the stove. Even the youngest son, who is not a child, is also called a clerk and has a monthly salary!
The accountant was a little restrained, no family was settled in, but he also brought a son by his side as a deputy.

"Okay, I'm sorry that it's not easy for them to drag their families into Beijing, but they're a big family, I'm afraid they're going to joke behind their backs that I've been taken advantage of by you!"

Although Brother Jiu suffered a loss before, it was in Shu Shu's hands, and it was his own fault.

Now this is absolutely unexpected.

He couldn't help sneering: "Loyal servant? You used to be a loyal servant, no wonder you can't look down on a shop, I'm afraid all your thoughts are on fooling the master and eating his meat!"

Shu Shu didn't comfort her, but thought of Nanny Liu instead.

Before she got married, Nanny Liu disposed of most of Brother Jiu's private treasury.

I was afraid that the accounts would be difficult to clean up, so I used this to cover up.

It's not difficult to guess, in the face of real money, few people are not tempted.

Without supervision, problems are more likely to occur.

It's just that there is no proof, the other party is a nanny, a nanny, an old man of more than ten years, so Shu Shu can't say anything with empty teeth.

Anyway, according to the rules, all the things that brother Jiu received when he was a child, from birth gifts, to hundred-day gifts, first-year gifts, etc., must be recorded.

These years have been rewarded one after another, and there is no exception.

There is a gap between the general ledger and the current ledger.

Mammy Liu thought that the ones who went with the gift left, and the ones who were rewarded were rewarded, so she wiped away the traces of the deficit, which was too simple.

You know, future generations will have the crime of "unidentified sources of huge amounts of property", so they don't need to track down the evidence of Nanny Liu's embezzlement. Just check the current property status of her family, and she can be crucified.

Not to mention, as long as it has been done, there will be traces.

There are about [-] people on duty under this elder brother, and it is not difficult to find a personal ID.

As Brother Jiu said before, there are no secrets in this palace.

Shu Shu was shooting arrows before Shen Chu, and when it got dark, all the well-informed masters in the palace heard about it.

*
Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.

Kangxi had already discussed with the Minister of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Punishment that the matter of knocking the eunuchs was not a big grievance involving life and death, but the lower yamen's handling of the case was unfair or something.

Henan Rencheng and other Eight Guardians, Zhang Wen'an and others kowtowed to report the relocation of Henan's grain delivery land.

It was still the mess left by the previous governor, Li Huizu, who changed the transportation location from Xiaotan Town, Daming Prefecture with convenient transportation, to Shuici Town, Weihui Prefecture, which increased the distance and difficulty of grain transportation.

Because of this delay, not to mention the homework of the brothers in the school, even the dinner was delayed, and the meal was not delivered until Youzheng.

After the dining table was removed, seeing Kangxi showing signs of fatigue, Liang Jiugong talked about the two institutes jokingly.

But he didn't think it was Shu Shu's own idea at all, he thought directly about Brother Jiu, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there has been a lot of news in the past two days..."

Kangxi was really interested: "Oh? What news? It must be Lao Jiu's side, what's going on?"

"No wonder I heard that 'the son is more like a father'. Your Majesty, you really said that...it's not from Master Jiu. I heard that Master Jiu took Jiu Fujin to Gyeongbokgung Palace at noon yesterday and borrowed a complete set of "New Book of Tang" ...It seems that in addition to foreign languages, Master Jiu plans to teach Jiufu Jin history books... This is not the only thing, and today there is another news that the second school has set up an archery target..."

As Liang Jiugong said, he couldn't help laughing.

The newlywed couple from another family are almost sticky together.

These two little masters are good, one is working hard to be a teacher, and the other is also cooperating to learn, like playing with children.

Kangxi listened, with a smile on his face, but he hummed softly: "This old nine, now you know how to be strong, so why did you do it earlier? I have been fooling around with my homework in the Shangshufang all these years. I have grown my brain for nothing, and I am not serious about my homework. Work hard...with a daughter-in-law, I know how to lose face..."

*
When the news reached Ningshou Palace, the Empress Dowager laughed.

She was a straight-hearted old man, and she couldn't hear that the servants were turning a corner and complained. Instead, she happily said to the two concubines: "This girl looks delicate, but I didn't expect to love this... Turn around and Bu Yin Married in, the two sisters-in-law will definitely be able to get together..."

The two concubines grew up on the grasslands, and they also grew up on horseback, so riding and archery is no problem.

It sounds like nostalgia, but I have a better impression of Shu Shu.

*
In Yikun Palace.

Concubine Yi was fairly calm here, but when it was time to hold the lamp, the news reached Xianglan's ears.

Xiang Lan frowned, looked towards the direction of the apse, her face was frosty.

After entering the second room, Concubine Yi had already put down her hair, and there was a little maid combing her hair.

Seeing that Xianglan's complexion was not good, Concubine Yi sent the little maid down, and asked: "Tell me, what kind of moth did she come up with? This time, she has to toss and turn several times a year, and there is no new trick... "

Xiang Lan said in a low voice: "This servant just found out today that Nanny Bai received a reward from the apse a few days ago..."

Bai Momo was the one who listened to Zhao Momo's words before, spread two gossips in Yikun Palace, and was sent back to the House of Internal Affairs by Concubine Yi.

Concubine Yi let out a long breath, she was not surprised, but she was still worried: "It seems that this palace is still too tolerant. She has been acting constantly in these years, and this palace is hindering the emperor. I am afraid that the emperor will think that this palace is mean and did not deal with her. Let her push her nose to her face..."

"It's not just about Baimao, just now a little maid went to sell it to the slave, saying that it was the second Jiufujin who set up a target or something, and left and right said that the other end was not good, and it was a maggot between the master and Jiufujin. .”

Xiang Lan also showed disgust: "The slave looks at it, this intention is vicious, the master should be more careful in the future..."

Concubine Yi sneered: "It's not a good day, so let her know what grace is... Send the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vows Sutra" over there, and say that the Yinsheng Sacrifice is coming soon, and her biological mother, don't come out, and copy the scriptures carefully , pray for brother..."
