Lin Gongzi medicine jar

Lin Qing was not good at common affairs. After Mrs. Lin passed away, Lin Xi, who was a little older, took over the affairs of the Lin family. Unfortunately, her health was not good enough, she was often lingering on sick beds, and she didn't have the mental strength to manage the house. The boy, Gu Hailin, has been trained to be a good accountant today.In today's study room, there is one for counting, one for accounting, one for planning, and one for making marks.

Lin Xi sat on the side, listening to the accounts and the abacus, shook the business summary collected by Butler Lin in his hand, and said: "There is no need to check them one by one, time is tight, just make sure you have a rough idea."

Zhao Yuanrong handed in the calculation paper, and couldn't help walking to Tuantuan while Lin Xi was making corrections. Seeing that Tuantuan was drawing a circle somewhere in an account book with a Chinese ink brush, and annotated a few small characters beside it, he leaned closer. Can't help but ask curiously: "Sister Tuan, is there something wrong here?"

When Xiao Shizi asked, Tuantuan put down his pen and looked at it, "What Shizi said is that there are indeed doubts here."

"What doubts, isn't it appropriate to reduce rent due to floods?"

"My lord, it is true that the suburbs of Beijing were severely affected by the flood in April last year, but the flooded places are mainly in the western suburbs of the city, and the east of the city does not have much impact. Xingtian Zhuangzi is in the east, and the terrain in the east is relatively low. It's higher in the west."

Zhao Yuanrong stared suddenly, then turned to look at Lin Xi, "This is fraudulent accounting, uncle, you are a slave."

Lin Xi put down the paper in his hand, and said with a smile: "That's right, the land of Xingtian Zhuangzi has always been fertile and has good paddy fields, otherwise grandma wouldn't have paid a lot of money to buy it for her mother as a dowry. It’s so seamless, you only need to see that the final income and future prospects are not as good as the flooded places to know that something is wrong.”

"Isn't cousin angry, such a slave..." Zhao Yuanrong glanced at Lin Xi, swallowed his harsh words, and finally said, "You should be kicked out!"

Lin Xi patted his head, and handed a business summary to Zhao Yuanrong, "Look, Rong'er, what can you see?"

Zhao Yuanrong looked at it carefully, and finally frowned, "I don't know what I'm talking about, but I think the business of this bank is very bad, no one comes to buy, and then I beg my cousin to forgive me or something. But the business is not good. Why don't you think of a way, what's the use of begging for mercy?"

After all, Zhao Yuanrong is the son of the royal family, even though he is young, he is born with the ability to grasp the overall situation, and he can see his fatal problems at a glance.

Lin Xi nodded in relief, her eyes turned cold when her eyes fell on these incomprehensible papers.

These stewards can be regarded as manager-level executives in later generations, and their ability to do things is average, but their ability to prepare dishes is first-class.

If he is really fooled by these people, he doesn't have to study for the imperial examination.

"Rong'er, let's just watch, no one will tolerate anyone who doesn't seek practical work. Uncle Lin, are all the people on the list you submitted here?"

Butler Lin said respectfully: "We're all here, just wait for the young master's wishes."

Three days later, the accounts were basically checked, and the place where the Zhuangtou was summoned this time was no longer Chong Jin Tang, but Lan Yue Xuan.Naturally, Mama Qi and Mama Lu were not by her side.

People who should be courteous still want to exchange pleasantries even if they don't want to, but these are just servants and servants who take care of their mother's dowry, Lin Xi is not interested in talking softly.

He ordered Lin Fang to come out, and reported the obvious confusion in the accounts in front of everyone.

Lin Fang was already clever, so he sarcastically and sarcastically stripped off the face of these rather respectable managers outside, without showing any sympathy.

Lin Xi drank tea leisurely, raised the corners of her mouth, and was in a good mood to see them blushing, eager to rush up, but the guards outside Lanyuexuan were all staring at them, and no one dared to act rashly.

After Lin Fang hadn't finished speaking, Lin Xi handed the tea bowl to Yuanyuan, and said with a sneer, "What should I say? You all claim to be talented, and you can't make it better no matter what. For such an obvious loophole, do you think this young master is too stupid, or do you have too much fat in your stomach to block your brains?"

With that lofty appearance, everyone subconsciously flinched, feeling unwilling to be looked down upon by a young man.The steward of Changfeng Silver House cupped his hands and said, "Master Biao, you..."

Before she could say anything, Yuanyuan yelled angrily: "Young master! Who owns the title deed and the lease of the silver building? Whose slave are you? You clearly don't regard the young master as your master by calling me like that. May I ask what is the use of you?" ?”

Yuanyuan was originally aggressive, but now she raised her eyebrows with anger, her voice was bright, and she asked questions one after another, making the manager blush and speechless.

But Lin Xi's eyes were full of mockery and coldness, so the manager closed his mouth and stopped talking.However, Yuanyuan didn't let him go, and took a step forward and asked, "Officer Xia, who do you think is your master?"

Yuanyuan raised her round chin, that pleasing round face is now very compelling, with sharp eyes, Guanshi Xia shivered under the silent gaze of everyone, "Little girl, don't bully people too much!"

"To be a slave, you have to act like a slave. Why, did I ask the wrong question? Even the master doesn't know who it is, do you still have the face to continue to manage things in front of you? The young master has a noble status, and it is inconvenient to condescend to talk to you , if I were Manager Xia in charge of you, I would feel ashamed and resign automatically!"

Manager Xia showed anger on his face, and suddenly realized: "What is my way? If the young master can't understand these old people under his command, just say it, why send a little girl to humiliate us. I have been running the dowry shop for the third lady for many years. I haven't made a lot of money, but I have made a profit and no loss. I send a lot of money to Huaizhou every year. Even if there is no hard work, there is hard work. Now the wife will return the management right to the young master, and the young master will drive me away , is it the tolerance that a scholar should have, and the filial piety of a person's descendants?"

Tuantuan never liked to talk too much in front of people, but now he couldn't help it anymore, and said angrily: "Tolerance is only for those who are tolerant, and filial piety is only for elders. Which side do you take, Manager Xia?"

"The subordinate just said a few words when he saw that the young master was young and unsophisticated." Manager Xia argued.

Diao slave!Sitting next to Lin Xi, Zhao Yuanrong's eyes were burning. If it were placed in the palace, such a slave who dared to directly refute his master would have been reincarnated several years ago!

His cousin was too kind.

Put one hand on Zhao Yuanrong's shoulder, patted it lightly, and comforted the elder son who was about to explode, Lin Xi raised his eyelids, with a calm expression, "I really mean that, Xia Li, you are not allowed to start the silver building business today." If you intervene again, the incompetent will give way to the virtuous."

Unexpectedly, Lin Xi was so straightforward. Manager Xia opened his mouth, but was suddenly speechless. Under the fiery eyes of everyone, he suddenly couldn't hold back his anger, and asked: "My subordinates ask themselves that there is nothing wrong with the management of the bank. There is nothing wrong with it, the young master arbitrarily deprives me of my errand, how can I convince the public! Even if I make a fuss in front of the old lady, my subordinates will have something to say."

After watching it for so long, it seemed that Lin Xi was not kind to them today, and the rest of the management Zhuangtou also responded: "Yes, yes, the young master wants us to go, there must be an explanation."

There was a bit of commotion for a while, Lin Fang and Gu Hai quickly moved forward to protect Lin Xi.

The guard standing outside was about to come in, but when he saw Lin Xi shaking his head lightly, he stopped in his tracks, just waiting on guard at any time.

"Since you have to be ashamed, then I can't help it. You listen carefully, first of all, the mother's dowry has already belonged to me, and so do you. What I want to do with you is my business. What's the point of involving my grandmother?" I mean, it’s not enough to provoke our grandparents and grandchildren? Second, say you are incompetent and don’t admit it! Changfeng Silver Building is located in the most prosperous area of ​​West Street, with luxurious decoration and abundant tourists. Half of the remote Tai'an silver house, you dare to tell me without shame that you have made great achievements. I don't doubt that it is my kindness for you to fill your own pocket! Third, don't pretend that I don't know who you are. Most of them went into someone's pocket, heh, a mere concubine with chicken feathers really thinks he is a phoenix!"

Zhao Yuanrong took the tea bowl from Tuantuan, and handed it over to Lin Xi after he had finished speaking. Lin Xi was very grateful for the kindness of the son, and praised: "Rong'er is the most considerate."

Zhao Yuanrong hummed with a smile, turned his head and threatened fiercely: "Fork them all out!"

Guanshi Xia felt guilty, and seeing the son's unkind eyes, he suddenly panicked, "Master... Although the villain is not from Mrs. Tai, he was recommended by Lord Hou. He has nothing to do with Aunt Mei, and he has never been filial to you. Her silver."

Lin Fang laughed, "Who doesn't know that Aunt Mei is so powerful, so what's so difficult about making Hou Ye safe personally? Didn't the Pengyan next to Master Qi recognize you as a godfather?"

It's not a secret, Guanshi Xia groaned a few times, then suddenly knelt down, but before he could speak, Zhao Yuanrong became impatient, "Fork out!"

How could he not listen to Shizi's words, two strong guards immediately walked in, covered Guanshi Xia's mouth, and dragged him out quickly, without giving him any room to defend himself.

"Find out where he lives." Lin Xi added later.

After shaving a thorny head, the people behind can talk easily. Seeing Lin Xi's cold and unblinking eyes, the guilty person rolled his eyes and fell to the ground to resign.

The things I secretly left before I left can be hidden. If I am dragged out and searched like Guanshi Xia, I will have nothing. I am used to living a luxurious life, and no one wants to taste the fate of being sold.

Only one or two of them stayed. Lin Xi raised her eyebrows and didn't say a word. These one or two people were the ones who did a good job in summing up their business, and even if they thought about it, they couldn't kick them all at once.

When there is no manager, a new one must be promoted.

Steward Lin followed Lin Xi's order to check around, and when he came back, he also handed over a list of people who seemed to be diligent and smart.

Lin Xi has too few people who can use it, and she doesn't really want to use Prince Rui's Mansion, so she can only use it first, and take advantage of today to come in to see her.

"My young master doesn't know much about the commercial firms in the capital, so I can only give you a rough target for the first time." As Lin Xi spoke, she signaled Lin Fang and Gu Hai to take out the prepared brochures and hand them over one by one. The new steward who listened respectfully in front of him.

"These are the total profits of your colleagues last year. They are all doing well. You should look through them, and you must have heard of them."

Hearing this, these stewards all opened the books in their hands, and couldn't help being surprised when they saw the familiar signboard name.

"Everyone knows that I am a scholar. In the future, I will seek officials in the imperial examination. I don't have the energy to manage the management of the shop and farm, so I will not intervene in what I do. But there is only one thing. I want to see income, rich income, and income that satisfies me. .”

Everyone was stunned, probably never seen such a naked scholar like Qian Qiqi, and even many guards couldn't help but glance over.

Lin Xi didn't care about them and continued: "Then what will satisfy me, everyone, look through the book again, I set a target based on the profit of my peers, and I will be satisfied if I reach it. There is a small assessment every six months, and a year-end every year." If you pass the assessment, you will continue to work. If you don’t pass, you will automatically leave, and those who have changed their skills will come up. Of course, if the target is exceeded, there will naturally be rewards. I will directly share [-]% of the excess profit with him, and I can take it openly. , as it should be. This is the first time, just to reach the annual profit of the peers."

As soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, the eyes of those who had some thoughts began to light up.

At this time, a steward with a small goatee cupped his hands and asked respectfully: "The villain's surname is Zheng, and he is the one who succeeds Steward Xia in charge of Changfeng Yinlou. If you dare to ask the young master, the targets in this booklet should exceed [-]% of the profit of Tai'an Silver Building, is this... too much?"

"Fifty percent? That's too much, isn't it just enough to be even?" Someone whispered.

Lin Xi squinted, "Where is the Tai'an Silver Building, and where is Changfeng? The location is good, and the shop is big. Why is it too much to exceed [-]%? If you think..."

Before Lin Xi could finish speaking, Manager Zheng had bowed his head to the ground, "Don't worry, young master, this subordinate will definitely be able to do it."

After finally climbing up, if he talked too much and fell down, there would be no place to cry.

Lin Xi raised her eyebrows and nodded.

"That's the case. Let me say something first. In business, you should pay attention to harmony and wealth. When opening a shop, you must not shoddy or shoddy. Integrity is the fundamental word. As for Grange, I don't want to hear that farmers are oppressed, forced Do you all understand the shocking words that people sell their sons and daughters and hang them at the door?"

Everyone replied in unison: "This subordinate understands."

"Very well, you don't have to worry. Although I am white, after all, relying on the Yongning Hou Mansion, there are not many people in the capital who want to make things difficult. If you have anything to do, you can find me."

"There's still the palace, uncle, don't forget." Zhao Yuanrong added.

Lin Xi laughed, "Understood, this way no one will be offended."
