The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

After Little Eunuch Qin left, Song Qingyue propped her head up, remembering what happened at the birthday banquet, and felt depressed for a while.

Mo Zhu knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Concubine Shizi, you should punish me too. I didn't pay attention. At that time, thinking that Miss Meng didn't bring a replacement clothes, the servant wanted to go back to Wufangzhai to get one of your clothes for Miss Meng. Leaving Xiangdie alone to lead the way for Miss Meng... This servant did not expect that there would be problems in our yard."

Song Qingyue sighed: "Okay, you get up, and you will be fined three months' salary. I should also reflect on myself. When I saw the new green pouring tea on Meng Wanfeng's body, I thought it might not be a coincidence. I also thought it was me. The people in the yard should be fine."

Bai Momo also pleaded guilty: "It's the old servant who didn't take care of the yard well, and asked the concubine Shizi to punish him."

Song Qingyue shook her head: "It's my waywardness, I don't want to stay in the palace and be restrained. The days we stay in the palace are too few, so we don't have time to rectify the internal affairs. Don't blame the mother, it's still my fault after all."

Aunt Yu was also shocked by Song Qingyue's ruthlessness just now, and now, a master who is willing to reflect on his own mistakes to his servants makes her look even more high, but now is the time when Shi Zifei is short of people around her, so she Cautiously mentioned that the prince asked her little granddaughter to come into the mansion to help her.

Song Qingyue smiled, and said to Nanny Yu: "Okay, it's just right, I have an errand here and I am worried that I can't find anyone to do it."

Nanny Yu hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Song Qingyue said: "Inspection, daily inspection is to look around, see where there are conflicts, and help to deal with them. The servants' homes should also be inspected daily. If any servants have difficulties at home, such as lack of money to treat Illnesses and the like should be reported to me, and I will ask the doctor I hired in the mansion to treat the illness, and I will pay for the medicine. If you can’t find me, at least let the people in my house know. If anyone owes money Those who have gambling debts will be kicked out directly. This kind of people will not be kept, and they will not be kept even if they are needed."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Yuma Yu and asked, "Is there any loopholes that Mama thinks there may be?"

For a moment, Aunt Yu also felt a little speechless, indeed...all the loopholes imaginable have been plugged by these few measures.However, she asked her little granddaughter to enter the mansion because she wanted her to show her face in front of the prince!
But judging from the errand that the concubine Shizi said, wouldn't it be that there is no chance to meet His Royal Highness?
The Crown Princess, could it be that she did it on purpose?

Aunt Yu gritted her teeth.

In the evening, after Song Qingyue took a bath and asked Nanny Bai and Mo Yun to help her dry her hair, Nanny Bai reminded her: "Concubine Shizi, that Nanny Yu, I heard that her son is a sixth-rank official!"

Song Qingyue smiled: "I know, her son is a Juren, and he didn't pass the Jinshi exam. If it weren't for the relationship with Su Wangfu, he wouldn't be able to be this official."

Bai Momo hurriedly said: "I don't mean to say this, no matter how her son became an official, Yu Momo's granddaughter is a serious official lady, if she reports her name to the clan's family, she can be a show girl, and there is a possibility. Opportunity to be a concubine for the descendants of dragons and phoenixes!"

Mo Yun took a breath: "No way? But since she has this idea, why doesn't she just report her granddaughter's name to the clan's residence for election?"

Song Qingyue shook her head: "Maybe you think the clan's mansion is too dark to help people? If you want to enter the backyard of the Prince's mansion, you have to prepare two or three thousand taels of silver, right? Maybe Yu Yu doesn't want to spend that money."

Mo Yun stomped her feet: "Concubine Shizi, why do you still let her granddaughter enter the mansion?"

Song Qingyue burst out laughing: "Your Majesty is very proud, he doesn't look down on such a background, don't worry. As for Yumao, although I hate her, she will never betray the palace, nor will she betray her. My son, that's enough. I can be rude to her, but you still have to treat her respectfully. After all, she is the nurse of the royal father, so you have to show face no matter what."

"Yes, the servant knows." Mo Yun said unhappily.

Song Qingyue said: "Mo Yun, I'm not worried about you, you should remind Mo Xiang when you go back. That girl has a bad temper, everyone be careful, don't let that old guy catch her."

The news that Song Qingyue spent a lot of money on the East Road to improve everyone's treatment soon spread throughout the palace.

King Su clicked his tongue when he heard about it.He knew about Song Qingyue's income.

Not to mention the bits and pieces of wool, soap, and sunflower oil that she tossed out after she entered the capital, these are small things.The one-year rent on the street next to the casino in Shenzhen County alone brings in 10 taels a year, and she also has three sugar factories.However, the sugar factory is a business that Su Wang's mansion has not been involved in, and the specific income is unknown. According to the calculation of the Wang's account, the annual income of the three sugar factories is at least 7 to [-] taels.

Of course, Song Qingyue's most profitable industry is actually the cement factory. The two largest cement factories in Lingnan, the two largest cement factories in Jiangnan, and Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, and Hubei each have a cement factory, and they all have to be given to that girl. Divide money.

With Guangdong Province taking the lead in demonstration, now the local government is responsible for its own profits and losses in road construction, and the household department does not need to pay money and does not need the approval of the central government. There is no need to turn over this income to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and officials can make a fuss about the money.

The officials are motivated to build roads, and the businessmen are also willing. As a result, roads are being built all over the country, and the demand for cement is huge. Even if the price of cement has dropped a lot compared to the first two years, it is still profitable. These cement factories give Song Qingyue The profit is about 8 to [-] taels per year.

In addition, His Royal Highness Su Wang himself owns several shipyards in the east. For any paddle steamer with a bulbous nose, she will be given 500 taels of silver to build one.These shipyards at least say that they will build dozens of such ships a year, and this calculation is another 3 to [-] taels of silver.

Adding up the odds and zeros, the annual income of his eldest daughter-in-law, conservatively estimated, is as high as 35 taels, which can be counted on one hand in the capital.

This is only the annual income, and the dowry money of this girl must be no less than one million taels, which is less than half of the money in the Wangfu public account.

This little girl from the Song family who looks like bean sprouts is really "wealthy, big, angry, and thick"!
King Su sighed, and told Eunuch Wang to increase the treatment of the servants in the middle road. Then the ten-day break and holiday overtime pay will be the same as those in the east road. The bottom is living a nourishing life.

As for the side of the West Road, the prince said that he didn't care about it, he had a lot of places to spend his money. The prince also said that if he didn't want to save face, he would like to cry poorly with his eldest daughter-in-law.

The side concubines, Liangyuan, beauties, Dianyi, concubines, and housekeepers of the princes in the various courtyards on the West Road all want to cry when they turn around to settle their accounts.

Just adding a stove with an iron chimney to every servant's house would cost a lot of money!That tm is iron!Iron things can be cheaper?It is also necessary to drill holes in the windows, which is another labor cost.

But if you can't improve the treatment of servants, people will easily cause people's hearts to fluctuate when they see that the welfare on the East Road is so good. He hid in a villa in the suburbs of Beijing.

So this group of people cried to the princess again, and the princess got angry several times, so that on July [-]th, on the day of Zhongyuan Festival, when the princess, who never went to Wuqi Hall to pay her respects, finally showed her face at the family banquet, the princess To her, eyes are not eyes, nose is not nose, and everything he says is aimed at Song Qingyue.

Of course, the main reason was to scold Song Qingyue severely for the sentence she threatened to inject abortion drugs into the concubines, saying that she was narrow-minded, jealous, unvirtuous, and unworthy of being a royal wife.

His Royal Highness King Su sat on the side motionlessly, pretending he didn't see anything.

Song Qingyue lowered her eyes and listened quietly, with a look of being beaten and punished, which made the princess feel bored after scolding, and finally fined Song Qingyue with half a year's salary, and copied "Nvrui" and "Nvjie" thirty times each .

When Song Qingyue turned around, she handed over the task of copying the book to Mohen. She helped copy the book and was rewarded a lot. The other maids wanted to grab this job, but Mohen was the one with the most beautiful handwriting among the first-class maids. .

As for the improvement of employee benefits, Song Qingyue not only did not stop there, but even intensified and did something even worse: make new clothes for all the servants on East Road!

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, four sets per person per season.Uniform narrow sleeve style, uniform lining pockets on the side of the heddle skirt, uniform colors, and uniform patterns.

Pale pink in spring, lavender in summer, light orange in fall, and light blue in winter.

By the way, in this day and age, purple dyes are very expensive. Why don't there be so many nobles who like to wear a coquettish deep purple when they go out on the street?
But Song Qingyue wouldn't make everyone wear dark purple, but even lavender, in the eyes of the servants, is still very expensive!
Because the fabrics are made of good materials, Song Qingyue also provided each person with six sets of white sleeves and aprons in the same style, and the errands in the dining room are special chef uniforms. Although the style is a bit strange, there are two rows of carved brass buttons. , It is also strange and beautiful.There are also special chef hats, round and tall, and a set of them is very spiritual.

The concubine Shizi also stipulated that everyone must wear "uniforms" during working hours. Even those Mo who have a lot of good materials around Song Qingyue must wear uniforms with everyone, and they are only allowed to wear their own uniforms when it is their turn to rest. clothing.

But most servants don't want to wear their original clothes!

The new uniform is really nice!The fabric feels comfortable to the touch, and there are embroidery on it!
When the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the sewing room has finally finished all the uniforms customized by the princess!Of course, it is definitely not enough to rely on the sewing room of the Wangfu. Half of the work was outsourced to an outside tailor shop, and that batch of goods was also delivered to the Wangfu on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On this day, the servants of the East Road lined up in batches to go to Wufangzhai, just like a festival, and received the new uniforms from the concubine Shizi personally!
Remember in the previous life, every Chinese New Year, the company's senior leaders would shake hands with the employees one by one, and give them red envelopes and sugar oranges. Song Qingyue is doing the same thing now.

She sent it out by herself, and the effect was very different from handing it over to the stewards.

The social animals in the previous life may not care much about whether they can shake hands with the big boss, because in people's minds, the difference between the boss and themselves is the difference between having money and not having money, but this time is different. In everyone's mind, people are divided. High or low.

For example, the maids and women in the laundry room and Yexiang room received their uniforms from the imperial concubine, and cried loudly in the main hall of Wufangzhai on the spot.There was a woman who was in charge of washing night barrels and even refused to accept the uniforms, saying that it would be a pity that such good clothes would be dirty. Song Qingyue said it was okay, and she would make new ones for her if they were damaged, so the woman asked Song Qingyue if she could wear them. Can't leave clothes for her children to wear.

Song Qingyue's head was full of black lines when she heard that, she looked down, and said unhappily: "These are the clothes that only those who work here wear. If you don't want to wear them, don't wear them."

Seeing that the concubine was angry, the mother-in-law turned her head pitifully to seek help from Nanny Bai, but Nanny Bai ignored her, and Song Qingyue waved her to go down.She is really willing to degrade herself, and she will not try to pull it off.

The maids and women who lined up in the room to get their uniforms all glared at the woman who cleaned the night bucket.Look, it's so good, everyone is happy, and the concubine Shizi is also happy, so this woman made the concubine Shizi's fairy-like little face look down!
With the lessons of this woman first, people who came later would not dare to say anything even if they had the same thoughts in their hearts.

Strange to say, since everyone put on new work clothes, there have been fewer fights and tears among servants on the East Road.It seems that after wearing the lavender clothes, they don't play around like they used to. Everyone cares about the clothes, and it's okay to quarrel. What if the clothes are damaged in a fight?
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Zhao still couldn't come back.

After attending the family banquet, Song Qingyue asked someone to go to Meng Wanfeng's Duobao Pavilion to order a batch of mid-grade sheep oil, and give it to the people in the laundry room and Yexiang room. The dirtiest and most tiring servants, the concubine Shi Zi also remembers them.

Coincidentally, after the granddaughter of Mammy Yu's family named Tian Xuefang entered the mansion, Song Qingyue sent Tian Xuefang and Nanny Bai to beat the stewards of the laundry room and Yexiang room together, telling them not to bully others, and not to confiscate the little girl Lanolin, clothes, shoes, aprons, etc. in their hands.If the concubine Shi Zi knew that the person in charge dared to take possession of the belongings of her subordinates, the concubine Shi Zi would directly tell her to pack up and leave!
Those in charge have their own special rewards, Song Qingyue forbids them to take other people's share.

However, asking the first-class maids to wear the same clothes as the second-class, third-class and even coarse maids would be aggrieved, so Song Qingyue ordered an additional batch of name tags and brooches to pin on their chests.

For example, the name tag on the chest of the poorest maid is brass, that of the third-class maid is made of silver, that of the second-class maid is silver-gilt, and that of the first-class maid is pure gold. .

Not only the name is engraved on the name tag, but also where the errand is engraved.If you do well, you can see who it is at a glance, and if you don't do it well, you can see who it is at a glance.

In addition, the errands in Wufangzhai, from top to bottom, each have an extra brooch, the sweeper and rough envoy are a plum blossom brooch carved in ivory, and the third-class maids are silver lotus flowers inlaid with pearls. Brooches, the second-class and first-class maids have a butterfly brooch inlaid with turquoise and carnelian in brass for each person. They are all the same style, but the size is different. The second-class brooch is one size smaller and uses turquoise. And less carnelian.

In the end, each steward also got the attendance sheet sent by Mr. Qin.
