Rebirth: Hug Chu Guogong's Thigh Tightly

Chapter 111 Beating all shopkeepers
The person Xia Keyu invited to call for help was none other than Mu Xueshan.

Mu Xueshan is a lady of every family, so she naturally learned a lot of skills of a housekeeper.It's a pity that now that her husband is dead and living alone, there is no use for her.

Xia Keyu went to invite her in person and explained his purpose of coming.

Mu Xueshan is now a widow, wearing plain clothes, no makeup on her face, and a white velvet flower on her hair, just pure and chaste.

Xia Keyu is usually fine, and will send people over.

After hearing Xia Keyu's words, Mu Xueshan also showed a bit of joy on the face, holding Xia Keyu's hand and said:

"I can help you, of course I am willing. Besides, I am a widow at home every day, just guarding Tong'er, so I am bored and want to find something to do."

Xia Keyu nodded, and said bluntly:
"As the old saying goes, brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Although we are sisters, I don't want you to suffer. In this way, if you help me manage the shop and do the accounting, I will give you five taels of silver every month."

Mu Xueshan was startled when she heard the sound, she shook her head and said, "No, your asking price is too high. I can't take you so much money."

Five taels a month, 60 taels a year, which is basically equivalent to a year's salary of a fourth-rank official.This ordinary family lives with a large family, and it only costs about 30 taels of silver throughout the year.

Seeing this, Xia Keyu sincerely persuaded Mu Xueshan:
"You don't have to refuse. Since I offer you this price, I think you are worth it."

As he spoke, he pointed to the baby sleeping soundly on the bed beside him and said, "Besides, you have to consider Tong'er. When she grows up in the future, she will need to spend more. Among other things, you have to prepare a decent dowry for her."

These words touched Mu Xueshan's heart. When Mu Xueshan heard this, her eyes turned red, and she no longer refused, sobbing: "Ke Yu, it's better for you to treat me."

She is a lady from a large family who does not leave her home, and hires maids, cooks, and nurses every day, and spends money everywhere on food and clothing.Although Xia Keyu has to take care of everything, it is not an option to sit on a mountain and eat nothing.

Xia Keyu smiled and said: "We will not distinguish between you and me."

Only then did Mu Xueshan pick up the account book, and began to calculate according to the information provided by Xia Keyu.

Soon, she discovered the problem, pointed to an account and said to Xia Keyu: "Look, the normal cost price of a foot of ordinary cloth should be 35 Wen, but here it is recorded [-] Wen, there must be something wrong."

Seeing this, Xia Keyu said in admiration, "Xueshan is so amazing."

Mu Xueshan smiled shyly, and said, "These problems can be found if you look carefully."

With Mu Xueshan's help, Xia Keyu quickly discovered the problem with the ledger.

At the same time, Xia Keyu asked Fan Yin's people to investigate, and found that there was indeed a road repair at the entrance of Jinwenxuan, but it only took three days to repair, and it didn't have a particularly big impact on the business.

But this shopkeeper Wu has bought a big house in the capital for these years, with a beautiful wife and beautiful concubine, and his life is very uncomfortable.

Xia Keyu immediately sent someone to report to the officials, suing shopkeeper Wu for embezzling the owner's property.

After shopkeeper Wu was imprisoned, people from the government found the real account books in the account room of shopkeeper Wu's home, as well as the silver bills he had deposited in major banks over the years, which were as high as 500 taels.

The shopkeeper's normal monthly salary is only four, five to six taels of silver, even if there is a bonus at the end of the year, it is only about a hundred taels of silver, not to mention that Jin Wenxuan is still losing money year after year.

Shopkeeper Wu has been working for more than ten years, and he has embezzled so much money.

No wonder Fan Shuyao kept saying that the shop was not well managed, partly because the Xia family embezzled the silver taels, and partly because the shopkeeper Wu embezzled.

After Xia Keyu sent shopkeeper Wu to prison, other people from Fan's shop also learned about it one after another. They were all trembling, not knowing who Xia Keyu would attack next.

Xia Keyu specially summoned the shopkeepers of these shops.

The shopkeepers stood together, all respectful on the face, but trembling in the bottom of their hearts.As the old saying goes, there is no business without evil, I am afraid that the hands and feet of most people are not clean.

Xia Keyu sat firmly in the main seat, glanced around the crowd with a calm expression, and then said: "I have never dealt with the shopkeepers before. I will manage these shops in the future."

Everyone hurriedly bowed their hands and said: "Listen to Missy's orders."

Xia Keyu just took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and said loudly:
"I believe that shopkeeper Wu of 'Jinwenxuan' has been heard by all of you. He will be dispatched to the army soon, and sent to a remote and bitter cold place. If you know him well, you can go see him off in advance, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult to see him again in the future."

As he spoke, he deliberately prolonged the tone, and put the teacup on the table intentionally. With a clear voice, he saw that some people didn't look too much.

What does it mean to send someone off early? It is obvious that this young lady has something to say, and she took the opportunity to beat them up.

Xia Keyu continued: "You guys have been managing our Fan's shop for a long time, and I know all about the credit and hard work."

This is intended to be a gift before a soldier.

"The reason why shopkeeper Wu was sent in is because he is too shameless. Among so many shops, he is the only one who claims to be losing money year after year, and he hasn't made a profit for a year!"

Speaking of this, Xia Keyu suddenly slapped the table, and some people present couldn't help shaking their bodies.He looked terrified.

Xia Keyu's purpose was to scare the chickens to scare the monkeys. Seeing this, he slowed down his tone and said:
"I just took over recently, so let's forget about the past. All you need to do is to work hard in the future, and let the business of the shop flourish. The dividends at the end of the year are indispensable."

This is a slap in the face for a date.

When everyone heard that Xia Keyu had let go of the past, many of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Xia Keyu tapped and said: "Everyone, don't think that I'm still a girl who hasn't left the court, just trying to fool me. I hired a lot of money to hire powerful people to guard behind the scenes."

This is a bluff, and the main thing is a bluff.

Xia Keyu continued: "Everyone, don't blame me for talking too much. If I still find problems with the accounts in the future, you will see what will happen to shopkeeper Wu."

Everyone hurriedly said: "The little ones don't dare."

In the crowd, a shopkeeper heard the sound, stepped forward with a sad face and cupped his hands:
"Greetings, Miss. The younger one is surnamed Li. She is the shopkeeper of a silk shop. Recently, a new batch of silk has arrived. It's a pity that some of the clothes made are too expensive, so no one cares about hanging them in the shop."

"If the rest of the fabric is made into clothes, I'm afraid it won't be sold. You don't have to wait until the end of the year. It will be a loss. The younger one should tell the eldest lady in advance, so as not to anger the eldest lady and be sent to prison. Some of the younger ones are old and some are young, but I can't bear it."

As soon as this remark came out, many people present gloated a little, waiting to see Xia Keyu's joke.
