Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

When Gu Wenxuan came back, the light in the study was still on, and it was very bright. It was so bright that at a glance in the yard, at least three candles were lit inside.

really.

Four full candles.

As expected of a roll of the eyes, I want to sell candles.

There is one in front of the kang, one on the table, and two high candlesticks inside the kang table that are lit. Fortunately, your mother-in-law is not your mother-in-law.

In the old home before, the old lady didn't care whether it cost her money or not. She would still treat him indiscriminately when he said it was time to turn off the lights.

If she doesn't yell, it won't show that she is diligent and thrifty and manages the family well. Well, that's too far gone.

At this time, his wife was busy with abacus in one hand and a writing brush in the other.

Isn't it just three or four months of account books that requires so much effort?

He's a good accounting expert.

With that said, Zhou Banxia pushed the checked account book placed on the kang on his right side to Gu Wenxuan, "Please help me see if there is anything I made wrong."

"how?"

"Yes, Dazhuangzi. My uncle has told me to check all the accounts. If there are any big discrepancies, I will change the manager before I return home."

As for those little stewards, I think it would be more ideal to follow Uncle Chang Qing's advice.

"It's been a while. It was my fault." Gu Wenxuan decisively admitted his mistake, "I thought you knew I came in. Is this a farm expense?"

Uncle Chang Qing suspected that the young steward was taking kickbacks. After checking, he found out that he had actually taken two hundred taels of silver. Even if he beat someone to death, he would have lost several hundred taels of silver.

"It shouldn't be a mistake." Gu Wenxuan sat down on the edge of the kang, picked up a book nearby and flipped through it, "It's been less than a year since I bought it. How far can the accounts be falsified? The head of the village will die.

Gu Wenxuan took a closer look and was secretly lucky that he didn't tell the truth, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Such a storefront is easy to rent not only in a good area of ​​the capital, but also in Fucheng. Uncle Chang Qing said that before returning to Zhoujiacun, he said that the rent should not be lower than the market price.

Zhou Banxia had heard about this matter before, but if she were in charge, she had limited manpower, and currently only Gu Dahua could take over if he was free.

As a result, I got a market price of 3,000 to 4,000 taels of silver for a year's rent, but within two months I heard that someone else was offering 4,050 taels of silver.

The most important thing is that the rent has been reduced. It could have been rented for 4,500 taels of silver. Even if the rent does not increase next year, it will be at least this amount. "

Gu Wenxuan had a weird smile on his face, "Is this an expense for a farm?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind, making Zhou Banxia tremble with fear, "When did you come back, and why did you run behind me?"

"I think it's okay. Maybe it's because I just got it. The heads of the two farms on the outskirts of Beijing seem to have no problems at the moment. The accounts are quite clear, and even a penny is written down."

Just this page.

Doesn't it mean that Uncle Chang Qing and his wife are the same for others, like that shop with five rooms and a three-story attic with a backyard garden?

On February 11th, I purchased 50 pieces of lumber to repair the house, and how much I spent on it; on February 12th, I bought 20 iron farm tools, and 20 iron hoes, and how much I spent on it...

The problem is that the Zhuangzi shop on this dowry list is not only in the suburbs of the capital, but also in Fucheng, Dingzhou Prefecture, and even Zhending Prefecture.

Given her place of origin, it was not surprising that her aunt resold some of the small courtyards in the capital that had been returned to help her buy shops and shops in her place of origin.

But it's okay to talk about the shops in these places alone. Anyway, she bought Zhuangzi in Fucheng, Dingzhou Mansion, and Zhending Mansion, and she also bought an additional house in Zhending Mansion. The troublesome thing is that aunties are everywhere.

In addition to leaving some Zhuangzi shops in the capital and a house, shops and farms were also purchased for her in Yangzhou Mansion, Jinling City and other places.

Her aunt's natal family can cover these places, but they can't live far away. If Gu Dahua is to patrol alone, well, they have been away for a year.

Gu Wenxuan laughed and shook his head, "Are you still worried about the couple living in separate places?
Even if he is allowed to patrol alone, it still depends on whether he will have any thoughts that he shouldn't have as time goes by.

For now, use him first, and slowly add more people. Anyway, Uncle Qing and his wife have made up their minds not to train more people, and they won't go out.

Besides, there is no need to worry about places like Yangzhou Mansion and Jinling City. With the shop and farm under your name, it is natural that the boss, the second, the third, and the other three brothers will also be there.

If it weren't for your husband's idea and my wife doesn't dare to make random opinions, you can just rest easy. No matter how greedy you are in charge over there, you won't be too greedy.

Don't forget that Uncle Chang Qing's parents are still in Yangzhou Prefecture, and he also has children in the capital. Why didn't sending him and his wife to you not allow you to control them remotely?

Mr., he has been able to stay anonymous until now and become a confidant of the current emperor. Every step of his arrangement will not be meaningless, just listen. "

Zhou Banxia does not deny that her uncle is very powerful, but "just listen to it"?
How could it be possible? No reward for no merit, just accept it according to her uncle's instructions, there is no escrow.

According to my uncle, not to mention your eldest brother, they will not be able to spend all the property left to your second and third brothers. Do they still care about your dowry idea, or my son Zhou Huan?

Her uncle was very confident.

Even if the three sons are not brilliant figures, they will never disgrace the name of their ancestor Zhou Shan. It is extremely easy to become a rich man.

"Indeed, look at your sister-in-law, although she is not a true Confucius, she is also a descendant of Confucius; and the family where the second brother is engaged is named Meng, right?

Maybe they are descendants of Mencius.

Looking at the third child again, he said that if I want to marry a wife, I must take a fancy to her first.

You see, I have also come out. Even if the beam falls down, they can't fall down. "

"Nonsense. Mrs. Qian is still a descendant of the Langya Wang family, a real wealthy family. There are countless important people in her ancestors. Now I dare not say that they can't fail."

"Hey, I'm still a novice in history. There was a Huangchao Uprising in the Tang Dynasty. Not only the Wang family was defeated, but also the entire aristocratic family. The Wang family has long since declined, okay?
As long as the imperial examination system is not abolished, Confucius is a saint. No matter whose turn it is, the Confucius family will receive the emperor's favor. They are the real aristocratic family.

The greatest counselors in the world, like my ancestors, are useless. Zhuge Liang is so powerful that he gave himself the name Kong Ming to try to get in touch with the Kong family, but it doesn't help. "

Do you want me to laugh to death and marry another one?
Zhou Banxia held back a smile and looked up at Gu Wenxuan, who was talking nonsense.

"Still not convinced? Let me tell you about another famous figure in history.

What is Li Shimin's name? Yes, Tang Taizong Li Yuan.

Doesn't that old guy claim to be a descendant of Li Er?

Zhuge Liang was just stupid enough to change his name but not his surname.

People are so awesome. If you call me "I am Lao Tzu and grandson, will you, Confucius and grandson, accept it?" "

"……I have nothing to say."

"Sure, I know a lot about your man. You won't be wrong if you listen to me. Go to sleep." (End of Chapter)
