When Emperor Wu dressed as Darcy's sister

No wonder Wu Zhao was surprised.

She usually seems to be careless about the income and expenses of the ranch, but she has actually kept a few key figures in her heart. What I just said is already partly more than expected. went up.After all, doubling is hard to say and hard to do - just 800 acres of pastures, plus less than 900 acres of woodland, the total output is considerable, how can it be tripled all at once!

Don't underestimate the thousand pounds. You must know that in today's Britain, a worker's annual salary is only ten pounds, and the income of farmers and tenants is even less, around eight pounds.Taking out two hundred pounds of income like Qingniang to reduce the burden on the peasant households, even though the average of 10 peasant households is less than [-] shillings, this is already a big favor to them.

Even a squire can earn a thousand pounds a year, which can be regarded as the upper middle class.This means they have £[-] in the bank, or an average of [-] acres of land.

The annual income of Darcy's family is [-] pounds. This is the list Darcy showed Wu Zhao last year, and it is also due to the fact that Darcy's maritime business in recent years has made a lot of income.

According to Wu Zhao's account books for the past two years, Darcy's annual income should be around [-] pounds.

Among them, the real estate output of Pemberley is the fixed income of the head of the Darcy family, with a total of only three thousand pounds.

The inheritance of the ancestors and the dowry of the old Mrs. Darcy totaled 4 pounds, but these were all fixed funds in the bank that could not be easily touched. The annual interest was calculated at [-]%, and the income was [-] pounds.

The rest is Darcy's income from running around and doing business for a year, which is only a thousand pounds.

But for a single ranch, those stewards could eat up a thousand pounds of pure cash income just by sitting still and using their mouths. One can imagine how many loopholes and filth there are in the original ledger.

"When the horses were sold in autumn, I kept an eye on the head steward, and asked Baker to follow up and investigate secretly. It was really good." Qingniang gritted her teeth with hatred when she said it, "The ranch can sell nearly thirty high-quality horses a year, six Ten medium-sized horses, one hundred farm horses, and the books we see, those who died of illness and those damaged during transportation, all add up, and the actual output is nearly half of the number!"

"Needless to say, they must have detained them." Wu Zhao looked indifferent, but the power exuding from his body shocked all three of them, "It seems that those suppliers and veterinarians are not clean, they should be replaced. Change, it’s time to fuck. I didn’t raise them to let them suck my blood!"

The young lady quickly lowered her head and replied: "Yes, there are eight people in total, including suppliers, veterinarians, and stewards. I made them spit out the thousand pounds. Now they have been fired, and they are required to move out of Pemberley before Christmas." Otherwise, I will have people drive them out."

"It's good to do this. Although there is a saying 'If you are not stupid or deaf, you should not be a family member', but you can't just let them be fooled by fools." Wu Zhao nodded, affirming Qingniang's approach, and said, "The manager should be replaced If it is replaced, the veterinarians will prepare early, and the suppliers should not relax, in case the animals are not prepared enough in winter, and the livestock will freeze to death and suffer from frostbite.

. "

Qing Niang wrote down one by one, counted the list she had completed, and said with a smile: "I have completed all the things that Miss said before I came back. This year's winter will be fine. I will ask Baker to take them to the ranch. Take care of a few first, and wait until next spring, when the pasture grows, I will observe carefully and then replace them with new ones."

Wu Zhao knew her abilities. She was in charge of the general affairs of the 24th Division of the Sixth Bureau as early as in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Naturally, these things were not a problem, and there was nothing wrong with it, so she didn't worry too much.

On the contrary, it was Mrs. Reynolds who asked cautiously: "Young lady, you are suppressing too much. If the managers and hired veterinarians are only living on their seniority, I am afraid that no one will come. "

"No one is willing to come?" Qing Niang smiled. She stuffed her hands into the blanket and looked at Mrs. Reynolds with burning eyes. The salary that the West family paid them. I have inquired about it, and it is definitely the best in the whole of England. Of course, it cannot be compared with those dukes and marquises who don’t care about family affairs at all, but I can assure you that if they leave the Darcy family, they will If you want to find a job with such a high annual salary, go ahead and dream!"

"Old Mr. Darcy is tolerant and merciful, sympathetic to the farmers and herdsmen who are struggling to survive. From the beginning, the salary is much higher than the market price. They are naturally happy. And you, Mrs. Reynolds, have been looking at these annual salaries for a long time. , I really think this is what they deserve.”

"I didn't give them a hard hammer, I really thought I was worth the price! It would be better for them to leave. Once the recruitment notice is posted, there will be a lot of hardworking and hardworking candidates to apply. Now people living in the ranch can let go Their own good life now? They are reluctant."

Mrs. Reynolds was dumbfounded when she heard this, and she couldn't help but blushed with embarrassment. She said in a low voice, "It's because I don't know the market price that the Darcy family has been deceived for so many years."

Seeing her face full of shame, Wu Zhao comforted her, "It's not your fault. Didn't my brother also be deceived by them? In fact, Darcy's farm and pasture are much more fertile than ordinary land, and the climate here is also suitable, so the production The income should be much higher than the average. Even my elder brother didn’t go into it because he saw that his income was similar to that of other families, which made them hide the truth.”

Mrs. Reynolds repeatedly thanked Wu Zhao for her comfort.

Seeing that she was still a little listless, Wu Zhao knew that she had been hit, and couldn't calm down for a while, so he shook his head and ignored her, and asked Qingniang if there was anything else, "If it's gone, you'll be there sooner." Go back and rest."

Sara thanked Wu Zhao for Qingniang first, then pulled the blanket on Qingniang's lap to cover it up, touched her hand and complained: "It's so cold that I haven't warmed up yet!"

Qing Niang herself didn't care much, she stretched out her other hand to sneak into Sara's sleeve, and while holding her down, said with a smile: "There is one more thing, those small fish ponds are full of miscellaneous items. The total is four hundred pounds, which is small compared to other things, Miss, do you think the money is collected by the public or something?"

Wu Zhao took a cup of tea and mixed a lot of milk and sugar into it, while staring intently at the teacup and the spoon.

Stirring with the son, he said casually: "There is no need to settle accounts. Another day, you will order some rosters from various places, so that every ten households will send a representative, and all the stewards from various places will also be called. Let them all come to Pemberley before Christmas. The four hundred pounds will be distributed to each household according to the output of each place, and those who earn more will get more, and those who earn less will get less."

"In addition, from next year, the rent for each farmer household will be reduced by 10%, and the annual salary of the workers employed by the ranch will be increased by 1%. The stewards will allocate an additional [-]% of the income that the Darcy family can get each year according to the proportion of the output of the industry they manage. as a dividend."

"Christmas is coming, and they have been nervous for a year, so it's time for them to relax."

Qing Niang took out her notebook as early as Wu Zhao started to speak, and when Wu Zhao finished speaking, she also stopped writing.Seeing that Wu Zhao didn't give any more instructions, he repeated what he wrote down just now to prevent mistakes.

Both Wu Zhao and Sara were used to her doing things like this, but it was the first time for Mrs. Reynolds to see such a rigorous attitude, and she couldn't help but wonder, "Even the court officials who serve the king and His Majesty the Queen in the palace will not There is a young lady who is so capable and serious."

Isn't it just a court official!

Qing Niang, the former head of the 24th Division of the Sixth Bureau of the Tang Palace, couldn't help but secretly looked at Wu Zhao and smiled.

Wu Zhao was also funny, she nodded Qing Niang's forehead from the air, and cursed silently, "You little cunning!"

Sarah cringed her neck and laughed heartily.

The room was quiet for a while, only the beeping of the firewood in the fireplace and the faint laughter of several people.With the heavy snow falling outside the window at an unknown time, a different kind of quiet in winter quietly permeates the living room.

The good times didn't last long, and before Wu Zhao could enjoy the peace and finish drinking the milk tea in the cup, he heard a muffled bang in the living room, and a person outside strode towards this side aggressively, and asked loudly: "Miss Darcy, I hear you let your maid drive away the poor steward of the ranch in winter?"

"My God, how can your heart be so cruel!"

Wu Zhao's face turned cold, and he replied without raising his head: "Miss Sirius, I don't think you have the right to intervene in this matter."

"Don't say that the Darcy family is mean and ungrateful. I am stingy and stingy. Now I give them the opportunity to get money openly and honestly. Although it is less than their stealthy ones, the money is not hot. If you let me know, who would dare It is not as simple as being kicked out of Pemberley for blatantly eating selfish corruption, if it is light, I will send him to prison for tattooing, if it is serious, I will send him to a plantation in Africa, and he will never come back for the rest of his life!"
