Chapter 22 The First Staff Meeting

And this is not acting alone but a group of people acting together.

It is impossible for an old drama player not to be out of a show every day for 365 days.

In summary, Li Yewu felt that it was unlikely that this group of people pretended to be pigs and eat tigers, and it was purely their own overthinking.

However, this incident also shows from the side that Taihe City is not as peaceful and unmarked as it appears on the surface.

Since there are people from Meihuazhai in the palace, there may be other forces that she does not know for the time being. Will these forces allow her to change the situation in Taihe City?

The answer though is unknown.

But in ancient times, many people who sought reform did not end well.

This again somewhat hints at the results.

However, no matter what the road ahead is, Li Yewu can only continue to move forward.

Otherwise, once Xiao Jiuxi died, her end would be just death.

After appeasing everyone, Li Yewu didn't want to procrastinate any longer. She simply held a staff meeting of the palace overnight and called all the 30 attendants and 19 handymen in front of her.

Li Yewu is also not sure whether the ancient disguise technique is really like what the TV series said, what kind of human skin mask is fake and real, and she wants to change who she wants to change. She asked everyone to check and assess each other to make sure that at least there is no impostor for each other. Move on to the next agenda.

"In the past few days, we went hunting for mountain goods and what happened just now. I believe everyone is clear. Now I will give you a little time to talk about and ask questions. Let's do it once and don't bring it up again in the future."

Everyone was stunned.

Don't the masters just keep silent when major events happen in the mansion?

The little lady even gave everyone a chance to ask questions?

Is it true that he is from the grassroots, so he is very close to the people?

Everyone had complicated eyes, but no one dared to really ask questions in a daze.

Li Yewu glanced at them lightly.

"Since no one wants to ask, I'll take it as if you all know it, and don't let me see you asking people secretly in the future."

Everyone lowered their heads guiltyly, and took this passage as the master's intentional use of the topic to beat them who usually inquire.

"Also, I want you to be clear that this Shi Er was entrusted by Long Jiu Ding of Meihuazhai, the real Shi Er may be more or less ominous.

Since Meihua Village can take Shi Er without anyone noticing, it can naturally take you too.

So, from now on, no matter who you are, you must be more careful. Of course, if you find something wrong with the people around you, you must report it in time, you know? "

The life of the family was at stake, and the handyman servant exploded in an instant.

"No wonder I've been feeling weird about Shi Er all this time."

"Indeed, he hasn't been very friendly since he came back from visiting relatives. It's been more than three months."

"Fortunately, the little lady saw through it. It's really terrible."

Everyone was very concerned, and they never thought that they would get along with the murderous gangster from Meihuazhai for three months day and night!
Thinking that these days they often quarreled over the distribution of work, everyone couldn't help but feel scared for a while.

Fortunately, Long Jiu didn't violently kill people, otherwise they might have died ten thousand times.

After all, these rough envoys and handymen didn't grow up around Xiao Jiuxi, so of course their loyalty is not that high.

At the beginning, everyone was recruited into the government just to make ends meet, but now their lives are in danger, and many people have the intention to quit.

Seeing their retreat, Li Yewu said cheerfully.

"Those who want to leave can ask, the old housekeeper must let them out of the mansion, don't make things difficult."

"Yes." The old housekeeper didn't complain at all, and obeyed.

If it were normal, he would definitely disagree. Many jobs in the mansion are inseparable from rough envoys and servants.

But after Long Jiu's disturbance, the old housekeeper didn't want to stay even if he was an outsider.

God knows if Long Jiu will make a comeback, what if the old tricks are repeated again?He didn't want to leave a security risk in the mansion.

Therefore, when Madam said that he could let him go directly, the old housekeeper almost agreed with it.

Everyone didn't expect Shang Wang's Mansion to be so straightforward.

Thank you for your time.

"You don't have to thank me, but thank you all for your help during this time, whether you stay or continue working, we accept it.

But I hope everyone will rot in their stomachs what happened in the palace today. After all, Meihuazhai is already frightening. If their arrogance is spread, the common people will be even more terrified.

Therefore, no matter it is for the sake of the people outside or the face of Prince Shang Palace, no further discussion is allowed. If it spreads outside, I only ask you. "

"Master, don't worry, we will keep it secret to the death." All the servants promised again and again.

"Yes, you are so kind to us, we will not repay you with revenge."

Two of the most heartfelt servants nearly raised their fists and swore.

Only then did Li Yewu yawn in satisfaction.

"Let's stop here for today's meeting. You should also rest early. You can leave tomorrow or stay with the old housekeeper to register."

As he spoke, he chatted to the old housekeeper again, not shying away from the servants around him at all.

"It seems that the herbs we picked need to be processed quickly. The old housekeeper has worked hard tonight, so you can count them with me."

"Uh..." The old butler was a little surprised.

The little lady said on the surface that she counted the medicinal materials, but in fact, she counted the gold and silver treasures!
The little lady actually asked him to order gold, silver and jewelry with her!This is how to trust him to do this!
The old butler had the feeling that his old age was finally being appreciated.

"This old slave doesn't work hard, it's my honor to be able to serve my wife."

"You have to know how to praise people!"

In this way, the old housekeeper and Li Yewu went to the warehouse to check the goods.

The entourage kept guarding the only exit of the warehouse.

Li Yewu pulled away the medicinal herbs on the basket, and the golden gold and shining jewels inside shone brightly with the candlelight.

Li Yewu happily assigned the work.

She counted the quantity, and the old butler was responsible for appraising the jewelry.

There's no way, she doesn't know the prices here, and she doesn't know how much these bracelets and jade are worth.

The valuation can only be handed over to the old housekeeper.

Until dawn, Li Yewu finally finished taking stock of the general ledger of Shanhuo.

It was not bad luck, they took away 5 ingots of gold in total, worth 500 million taels of silver, as well as jewellery, jewels, beautiful jade, night pearls, etc. The old housekeeper roughly estimated the value based on their appearance, and the value was also 500 million taels about.

That is to say, for this trip, they earned a total of 1000 million taels. Even if the debt of 800 million taels is removed, there is still a surplus of 200 million taels!

And the price here is that one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver, and ten taels of silver is equal to ten thousand copper coins!

As long as she plans well, it shouldn't be a problem to complete the preliminary infrastructure of Taihe City with 200 million taels.

Li Yewu felt hope immediately.

However, the money cannot be withdrawn all at once.

Otherwise, it would be tantamount to announcing that Meihuazhai and the others had dug up the ancient tomb.

She has to find a way to turn these gold jewelry into reasonable cash, commonly known as "money laundering"

Li Yewu was planning his way when there was a knock on the door outside.

"Little madam, the imperial capital's case money has arrived."

"!" Li Yewu raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.
