The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 419 Cutting Meat (4)
"As for the fourth house and the fifth house, although you didn't put in much effort this time, you still put your heart into it. From now on, the fourth daughter-in-law will be the housekeeper. As for you, the fifth daughter-in-law, Maoyang will go back to the academy, so you will live with her too. Go into the city. You don't have to worry about the affairs of the house." Mr. Xiao ordered directly without discussing with anyone.

Liao was both happy and worried.The good news is that the power of the housekeeper is finally in his hands.What is worrying is that the Xiao family is no better than before.Future expenses will naturally be reduced.As a result, her housekeeper's oil and water are much worse than Tan's.This made Liao Shi very unwilling.But I can't say this, I can only suffer myself.

Mr. Xiao continued: "Now our West Mansion is not as good as it used to be, so we will save money if we can save on expenses. You go back and clean up all the servants around you. Give the list to the old man in two days, and it's time to sell it. The sale, the abolition of the abolition."

Liao's heart was agitated, and it really came. He looked at Mr. Xiao anxiously, "Mr. Xiao, this is not suitable."

Mr. Xiao glanced at her indifferently, and Liao was too frightened to speak again.

Mr. Xiao said: "Do as the old man ordered. In addition, half of the people in the inner and outer courtyards need to be abolished. The courtyards where no one lives are locked up to save money. In short, except for the old lady, everyone around There can be no more than five servants. Of course, if you are rich and willing to keep extra servants, then the old man has no problem. But don’t tell the old man that you are poor, because the old man has no time to pay attention to you. Also, the flowers and plants in the yard , with people taking good care of them, in the future the old man will count on selling these things for money."

Mr. Xiao's move is really shocking.If it were someone else, I'm afraid I haven't recovered from the gap between great wealth and great poverty, but Mr. Xiao not only recovered in just a few days, but also made adjustments in identity and specific arrangements. .It has to be said that Mr. Xiao is indeed the magic needle of the Xiao family.As long as Mr. Xiao is around, the Xiao family's West Mansion will not disperse.

Having said all that needs to be said, Mr. Xiao sent everyone to disperse.After talking for so long, Mr. Xiao also felt very tired, so he went back to the house to rest with the help of the servant.

The Tan family seemed to be in mourning, and was supported down by the two brothers Xiao Mingzhen and Xiao Minghui.Liao's expression was complicated, he was sighing and laughing at the same time, looking like he was insane.

On Wufang's side, Mrs. Han is calculating the population of Wufang. "My lord, there are fifteen people in total beside you, including servants, servants and girls. According to the orders of the old man, ten people will be dismissed. As for the concubine, there are more than a dozen people. There are also quite a few people around Ming Yu. In this way, everyone has to lay off their staff to meet the old man's request. By the way, there are two children, Ming Ye and Ming Xuan, and the situation is only slightly better."

Xiao Maoyang had a stern face, full of displeasure, "You can do what you want, I have no objection. I'm going to talk to the old man."

Han didn't understand why, "The master went to find the old man just after leaving. What's the reason? The old man has been tired for such a long time, so he must have fallen asleep."

Xiao Maoyang looked irritated, "There is news from the academy that there are not many silver taels. The monthly expenses of Zhixing Academy are thousands of taels. It didn't matter before. When you are short of money, let the accountant know. I will send it over. But now, the Xiao family is laying off personnel. I am afraid that the old man has other ideas about the cost of the academy. I have to settle this matter with the old man first, otherwise it will be in my heart, and I am very worried. "

Thinking of the bottomless pit in the academy, even the Han family had to frown.If it was changed to before, the Han family can still be said to cover the expenses of the academy.But now the Han family dare not say this, one is Mingxuan's dowry, the mansion can only give 1 taels, the extra is now forgotten.There is also Ming Yu's dowry, and Brother Cheng's expenses.Every penny is money, and it needs to be carefully calculated.Coupled with the burden of the academy, even if the Han family is as rich as Han, they still feel a lot of pressure.

So Mrs. Han didn't stop her, but said: "This matter is indeed to be clarified with the old man. But the concubine thinks it's inappropriate for the old man to go there at this time. Why not at night. The old man's spirit is better at night, and it's not too late for the old man to go. Besides , the old man wants us to lay off personnel, the old man should also make up his mind."

Xiao Maoyang said impatiently: "Those who steal, rape, cheat, have complicated relationships, and those who have two hearts, all of them will be eliminated. If there are any leftovers, our fifth house will take care of them by ourselves. Anyway, we will raise a few servants. It’s definitely worth it.”

Han nodded, "I mean the same thing as the master. But I think the people around the master should not be abolished. Keep all fifteen people."

"No, ten people are enough." Xiao Maoyang said, "You can go to Han Dong for the rest, and I'm going to do my husband's work."

Xiao Maoyang left in a hurry, Han could only smile wryly, and asked Han Dong to be called to discuss the personnel to be abolished.After that, the Han family had time to discuss matters with Xiao Mingyu and Xiao Mingxuan.

Han asked: "Have you two thought about who you want to dismiss?"

Xiao Mingxuan took the lead and said: "Mother, five of them are enough for me. Among the four first-class girls, two are married, and two of the second-class girls are kept, and there are mothers to stay with me. The rest should be eliminated. "

Han Shi asked Xiao Mingyu again, "What about you? Have you thought about it?"

Xiao Mingyu nodded, "All the big girls are staying, including Mo Si, and then the nanny."

Han frowned, "In this way, no one will do rough work."

Xiao Mingyu said with a smile: "Mother, no girl enters the mansion to be a big girl. Most of them come from a young girl. If you assign those rough jobs, everyone can do them, no problem."

Han thought about it, and it was also the same reason, "In this case, then you two should keep five people around. But Mingxuan will get married next year at the latest, and I need a few little girls by my side to accompany the dowry. But this It’s not too late to make a decision when you get back to the city. As for Mingyu, you still have to wait a few years. For brother Cheng, together with me, a dozen or so people are enough. For Mingxuan and Mingye, two or three people should be abolished. That's enough for a little girl. In this way, the number of people in our fifth room has decreased a lot. Although the expenses on the hands of the people are not large, but the accumulation of small things can save a lot of money in a year. The old man said One hand, it can be regarded as a serious plan for the future of the Xiao family."

Xiao Mingyu said: "In the past two days, the mansion must not be quiet. There are many people crying for their father and mother. Mother, let's hand in the list quickly, and let the old man come forward to deal with those who are entangled. Mother doesn't have to be a villain and do it all over again. to the end."

"You're right. The past few days must have been uneven. Hey..." Han can only sigh.

After the list was handed in, the old man acted swiftly and resolutely. After the notification was made, the matter would be dealt with within two days.Those who are decent will be given the money to redeem their bodies, and they will be freed directly.The rest are all sold out, which is an income anyway.
