I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

The owner of the rouge shop was going to be changed, so Shen Rong naturally had to talk to the old lady about it.

It was just a sudden change of personnel, so Shen Rong had to come up with some reasons.

It’s best to catch the shopkeeper by the braid.

Zhang Liuniang volunteered to guard outside the shop with her daughter for three days, and then she calculated the approximate profit of the shop and asserted that the minimum profit of this rouge shop was around four hundred taels of silver per month.

Shen Rong had seen Zhang Liuniang's abilities.

Last month's profits were halved, and Shen Rong had some idea of ​​what Manager Liu had done.

That afternoon, when there were no customers in the shop, she asked Wang Qing to bring people into the shop to arrest the man.

"What are you doing?" Shopkeeper Liu looked nervously at the several tall men who suddenly appeared.

Seeing this, several assistants hurriedly stood behind the shopkeeper.

Shen Rong walked out from behind the crowd.

When Manager Liu saw Shen Rong, a trace of panic flashed across his face, "Young... Madam... what are you doing?"

"Manager Liu, hand over the account book." Shen Rong was too lazy to talk to him about those trivial things.

When Shopkeeper Liu heard this, his face trembled and he said in a cold voice: "This shop has been handed over to me since the old lady. Madam, you should stay at home to take care of the young master and the young lady. I won't bother you with the shop!" After that, he glanced at the waiters behind him and said, "Please go back, Madam."

Shen Rong glanced at Wang Qing.

Wang Qing waved his hand and several men rushed in immediately.

The waiters rushed forward to stop the people, and the two sides immediately started pushing and shoving each other.

The rouge shop in Pingyang Marquis's Mansion used to import rouge from Yuhang, but the owner later said that the profit was too low, so he persuaded the old lady to hire two master chefs to make rouge.

At the beginning, the shop sold part of the goods imported from Yuhang and part of the goods made in the shop.

Later, when the output of the shop could keep up with the sales, the shop gradually began to produce and sell its own products.

At the end of the month, the profit was much higher than purchasing goods from Yuhang.

To this end, the shopkeeper bought a yard right behind the shop, specifically for making rouge and expanding the workshop.

Logically speaking, it is definitely profitable to produce and sell products by yourself.

The shop does make money, much more every month than any of the previous shops in the mansion.

Therefore, the old lady never thought of selling the rouge shop.

But the shop earns more than just this much.

The noise in front of the shop soon alarmed the chefs in the backyard. After a while, the people in the backyard heard the noise and hurried over.

Xiao Zhuzi followed the master chef to the front yard and saw that Shen Rong was captured along with seven or eight grown men along with the shop assistants and the shopkeeper.

"Aunt!" Xiao Zhuzi called Shen Rong.

Shen Rong, "Xiao Zhuzi, take your uncle Wang to find the account book!"

Without saying anything, Xiao Zhuzi nodded and waved to Wang Qing, "Uncle Wang, come with me. I know where the account office is."

Shopkeeper Liu had his hands twisted by a man. Seeing that the shop assistants in his shop were disloyal, his eyes turned red with anger.

Wang Qing followed behind and quickly took out a real account book.

Shen Rong flipped through it briefly, closed the account book again, and glanced at the pale-faced Manager Liu.

"Manager Liu, where are the other account books?"

Manager Liu shouted loudly, "It's unfair! Madam, I thought you were from the countryside, so I made an extra month's account book!"

Shen Rong didn't believe what Manager Liu said at all, so she asked Wang Qing to take people to search the Liu family house on the back street of the Marquis' Mansion.

The search uncovered a box of silver and a stack of account books.

Obviously, this was the money that Manager Liu had embezzled over the years.

Manager Liu is an old man after all, so Shen Rong thinks it would be more acceptable to let the old lady handle the matter.

When the group returned to the mansion, Shen Rong handed the account book and silver to the old lady.

After the old lady looked at the account book, she was silent for a while and said, "I'll leave the shop to you. You can handle it as you see fit! As for the silver... I heard that you recently asked the housekeeper to buy a farm. Use this silver!"

The old lady originally thought that after Shen Rong took over the shop, the shop would be similar to before, but it was obvious that her granddaughter-in-law had better ideas than her.

The old lady was not unhappy, she just didn't expect that Manager Liu would be so greedy!

The family has been in financial difficulties these years, but Manager Liu has embezzled so much money. The old lady couldn't help but reflect on herself. Was she too easy to talk to?

Shen Rong agreed, organized her words in her mind, and said, "Old Madam, I intend to recover the money that Manager Liu embezzled. Manager Liu is an old man after all. If he cooperates with me, I will give him some respect, sell him a body contract, and let him go. What do you think, old madam?"

On the way back, Shen Rong took a look at the accounts of the past few months. If based on the profits of the shop, Manager Liu must have embezzled more than 8,000 taels of silver over the years.

The old lady saw that Shen Rong was not going to force him to death, and her expression relaxed. "That's great."

The next day, Zhang Liuniang moved into the backyard of the rouge shop with her daughter.

Manager Liu and his family were separated and locked up in the firewood room of the marquis' mansion.

Shen Rong did not rush to have Manager Liu interrogated, but first settled the accounts of these years with the accountant in the mansion.

After more than half a month, Shen Rong and the accountant calculated that Manager Liu had embezzled a total of 60,000 taels of silver since the shop started selling its own goods eight years ago.

For the past half month, Shopkeeper Liu was locked up in the woodshed alone, which was really tormenting.

At first, he relied on the old lady's sentimentality and thought nothing would happen.

But unexpectedly, he was detained for half a month, and Manager Liu became panicked.

So much time has passed, I'm afraid the old lady doesn't care about him anymore.

Shopkeeper Liu panicked and began to worry about his wife and children whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

It was at this time that Shen Rong came to the woodshed and asked Manager Liu for money.

Shopkeeper Liu started to protest his innocence and naturally refused to acknowledge the money.

Seeing that the old man had embezzled so much money and still dared to cry out for injustice, Wang Qing kicked both of them to the corner of the wall and said, "It's useless for you to deny these accounts. The young mistress has already said that all the accounts have been calculated. Hurry up and explain, otherwise I will send your whole family to see the officials!"

"Manager Liu, the old lady has already looked at the account book. She has said that this matter is entirely in my hands. Do you understand?"

Shopkeeper Liu got up from the ground with a pale face. Seeing Shen Rong's cold face, he knew that this young lady was not the old lady and had no mercy on him. If he continued to be stubborn, he was afraid that the lives of his whole family would be in danger.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, the remaining silver is hidden at the end of my kang." After a pause, Manager Liu looked at Shen Rong cautiously, "Madam, I wonder if my wife and children at home..."

Shen Rong was not surprised that Manager Liu would ask about his wife and children. "Don't worry, as long as you hand over all the money you have embezzled, your wife and children will be fine."

Changsheng and Wang Qing ran to the back street, smashed the Liu family's kang, and found a metal box containing more than 40,000 taels of silver.

As for the rest, it was naturally spent by Manager Liu and his family.

After getting the money, Shen Rong confiscated Manager Liu's property.

Finally, she returned the indentures to Manager Liu and his family and released the people. She did not force them to death and left them ten taels of silver.

After slaughtering a fat pig, the mansion had some money, and Shen Rong also raised everyone's monthly salary as promised before.

Last month’s monthly salary was distributed on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. This time, Shen Rong distributed monthly salary to everyone again on the eighteenth day.

Needless to say, the servants in the mansion were very happy.

After clarifying the matter of Manager Liu, Zhang Liuniang's rouge, powder and soap were also made one after another.

Shen Rong tried it and found it was better than the one Zhang Liuniang had sold before.

If compared with those gouaches in Beijing, it is slightly better.

In the capital, in recent years, some people have started to make soap that looks like soap.

When the nobles in the capital learned that the pancreas was not made from pig fat, they highly praised the pancreas made from this fat.
