Chapter 938

Erfu has always been a personality who doesn't worry about everything, and now she can ask Zhao Dezhu to explain these things, it can already be regarded as her love to use her brain, and after explaining at this time, there is a familiar Chen Fu waiting by the side, she naturally pushed this matter to Chen Fu without guilt, and asked Chen Fu to teach Zhao Dezhu some experience from all aspects, so as not to waste the money she spent, she smiled and glanced at Chen Fu, who was about to turn around and leave after completing the prison task, and commanded softly:" Gonggong Chen, you see that Zhao Dezhu, this kid is quite clever when he runs errands, but he has no experience at all when he is asked to do these things, and he still needs you to keep checking him. ”

If Erfu doesn't mention this, Chen Fu will leave, now Erfu's words are clear, even if he has a hundred guts, he doesn't dare to shirk, after all, unlike other ladies in the house, Erfu is not only the Fujin in the house, but also the fourth master's careful liver, if he offends the fourth master, the fourth master may be a lesson, but if he offends the backyard of this Fu Jin, the fourth master will definitely torture him to regret that he was born, so even if he wants to investigate the truth of the attack on the fourth master immediately, he has to stop a little, and guide Zhao Dezhu to establish a complete information circle step by step。

"Then it's troublesome for Grandpa Chen. Erfu also knew that Chen Fu's identity was different from that of other little eunuchs, and he was also very kind, she smiled and asked Shiqing to give a generous gift that had been prepared a long time ago, and did not forget to say a few polite words, and sent Chen Fu out of the upper room in person with a very close look, and watched Chen Fu walk out of the courtyard in front of the upper room, then turned around and returned to the upper room, concentrating on dealing with the various account books sent by Aunt Yuxiu.

When the fourth master was still Baylor, the area of the mansion was the largest in the same level, especially when it was promoted again, because everywhere had to be expanded, and the eighth was also promoted to the county king again, and the mansion also needed to be re-expanded, so it was moved to the side by a holy decree of the old man Kangxi, which was originally very gorgeous, and the eight Baylor mansions were also encircled in the fourth master's mansion, and a few alleys were expanded from the front and back to the left and right, and the prince's mansion after the reconstruction and expansion was even larger, especially the garden built with reference to the Suzhou garden, so don't look at the master in the fourth master's mansion, but there are a lot of people serving in the house, and the monthly money of a small palace maid is two dollars of silver, Look at it is not much, can't stand the large population in the house, this flips through the account book, the daily expenses in the house are enough to make countless ordinary people talk, it is Erfu, a rich woman with countless properties, every time she distributes monthly money, it is also distressed like a knife.

In the past, when she was not in charge of the house, she didn't think it was good, and every month on time she asked the little eunuch to go to the housekeeper to take her own monthly silver and shares, and sent them to her subordinates, and always felt that the share of Fujin in this house was too low, and she had to post money to the people below every month.

There is really no way, the foundation of the four masters' mansions is too thin.

is different from the old nine and ten, or they have the skills to make money by themselves, Or the prince who inherited a large dowry from his own mother, as the eldest son of Concubine De, the fourth master is too poor, except for the 200,000 taels of silver and a few properties given by the old man Kangxi when he opened the mansion, there is really no money to come, but the Wulanala clan is not a woman who is very good at making money, and she is not a person who knows how to save money.

Sometimes, Erf even thought that it was estimated that the Ulanala clan had seen the subsidy for the family before, otherwise she would have lost all the property in the inner courtyard by accounting for the account books sent by the stewards from various places these days.

Although she doesn't know why the Wulanala clan would rather stick money into it by herself, and make the account beautiful, she will not stab this matter to the fourth master to know that the deceased has passed away, or don't put gold on the face of the Wulanala clan, after all, once this person dies, the impression left in the minds of the living will gradually leave the good side, and Erfu can't guess when the fourth master is sick, and thinks that the Wulanala clan's wife is not bad, and secretly puts the black cauldron of the Wulanala clan on her head, so everything she is doing now is to try to dilute all the traces left by the Ulanala clan in the mansion, including the fact that before she got married, she begged Ilgen Jue Luo to help her come forward and ask the fourth master to rearrange the main courtyard and change the layout of the room.

"Master, but there is a problem with the accounts sent by Zhuangzi, it is better to let the head of the Zhuangzi who came to the house to ask for peace come over and explain. Shilan, who was waiting for tea next to her, couldn't help sighing and shaking her head, and reminded softly that she regretted accepting the red envelope stuffed by Wu Zhuangtou, but she couldn't take people's money and don't do anything, so even if she regretted it, she still tried her best to persuade her.

Erf shook her head slightly, and put down the crystal pen she was holding.

She raised her hand to take the hot tea offered by Shilan, took a sip slightly, and said softly: "The amount of money sent by Zhuangzi is fine, the only problem is that there is a problem with their business methods."

For example, if you look here, there are more than 100 tilts of high-quality fertile land in the grange, which is tens of thousands of acres of land, but the rent recovered in the end is obviously not enough, because the land and some ravines and corners are not formed in the village are given to the tenants on the village in vain, and our land rent is two percent lower than the nearby Zhuangzi, which is completely lower than the market price.

Of course, this is not a big problem, in the end, it is the property of the prince's mansion, and some places that should be profitable always need to be profitable, so as not to let others attack our fourth master for being mean and unkind, but this lake here is completely wasteful, even if it is to put some fish fry casually, let the tenants on the village catch it back to improve the food, just the remaining ones, for our house, it is also a profit, but it is so empty.

Then there is this dirt mountain next to it, there is no good wood on the mountain, and we can't afford to buy a lot of money, but there are a lot of bushes, and there is no dangerous area, you can completely raise some livestock, and we will not lose money if we remove the cost of hiring long-term laborers and forage.

In addition, the most important point is that this Zhuangzi is not far from the suburbs of Beijing.

If we operate in my way, we can arrange for someone to send the fish, meat and eggs in our house, which will save a sum of expenses, and in this way, the income of the village will be more. ”

At the end, she sighed again.

In ancient times, people guarded such a vast land place, but the common people lived in poverty, and many families could not even meet the most basic food and clothing such as food and clothing, which was not entirely caused by the forced taxation of the rulers, but also related to the customs and habits of low productivity and the difficulty of leaving the homeland.

For example, the current Guanwai, that is, the modern three eastern provinces, where the common people still live a life of farming, The life of a barren land, because the population is too scarce, they can't plant so many fields, so they plant this land this year, plant that land next year, and even save the minimum fertilization work, it is fertile black soil, and there is still time to let the land recuperate, where do you need to work hard to fertilize it, and the opposite Jianghuai, which is densely populated, the land is naturally much scarcer, and many people in a dozen or so families live on more than one acre of land, so naturally they will not have enough to eat。

In addition to this, some wealthy families prefer to hoard large tracts of land.

Because land is the most valuable investment, even if it is a change in the imperial court, it will not affect the title deed they hold in their hands, and the investment shop to do business, it is inevitable that there will be a long time when the mountains and rivers are far away, and they will toss and slip enough, but they will lose a fine light in a blink of an eye, where is there to sell land to rent out to collect rent insurance, although the rate of return is lower, but it is always a long-term transaction, the more and more land of these families is hoarded, and the poor encounter a natural and man-made disaster, in order to save their lives, they have to pass down the most valuable ancestral property from their ancestors- Land is sold to the rich, exchanged for silver and grain, after all, land is the root of life, and it is more valuable than life.

Selling land for silver and food can save the day, but it will take years, decades, or even generations to redeem it and buy it back, because it is too difficult for the poor to save money to buy land.

The truest portrayal of this world is that Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

She doesn't have the ability to change too many people's lives, but she can make her and the few tenants in the village under the name of the fourth master better through her own efforts. How much to serve, to divide the confiscated fields to the poor, or to let those poor people live in a different place, go to a desolate place to open up wasteland, and obtain a field that belongs to herself, in addition, she can also promote the prosperity of commerce, at least to ensure that most people can be fed and clothed, and it is to enter a well-off life.

It was precisely because of this thought that she was annoyed that she was powerless now.

"Master, it's better for the slave to call the head of the village over, you tell him these words, so that he won't continue like this in a daze, after all, not everyone is as smart as you, master, and knows so many things. Shilan is a maid who was bought into the house by Ilgen Jue Luo when she was a child, although her status is more humble, but she lives a little more nourishing than the average rich lady, she has never worried about food and clothing, and has never done such rough work as farming, she listened to Erf's words, but she didn't understand it at all, but she still felt that it made sense, as if she would use everywhere in this way, and the tenants in the village would benefit from it, and the house would also increase its income, so it was naturally a very happy reminder.

Erff tucked her hair from her shoulders, but shook her head disapprovingly.

It's not that she doesn't want to give Zhuang Tou these knowledge points, but she came to the house to report the account today. The Zhuang head who sent out the interest is one of them, she really doesn't want to repeat the same topic back and forth, so she plans to catch up with the farming in the future, put all the Zhuang heads together, and let her Zhuang Tou come over to directly popularize new technologies to these Zhuang heads, after all, what she understands is heard, and her Zhuang Tou is really a veteran who has been experimented, and the paper is finally shallow, or should let experienced people teach hand in hand, so that it is more practical, and it is not necessary for those Zhuang Tou to deal with things, just listen to it, and even feel that she is the owner of the standing and talking without back pain。

However, she didn't say these words to Shilan again, simply counted the amount in the account book, and asked Shilan and the little eunuch to give a good amount of the interest sent by the village, leaving enough food for everyone in the house to chew for half a year, so she arranged for someone to send a letter to the little eunuch in the front yard, and asked people to send the grain sent by the head of the village to the grain store under the name of the fourth master for cash, after all, the grain sent by the village is far from the amount that these people in the fourth master's mansion can digest internally, and she can't pile all the grain sent by the village directly into the warehouse like the Wulanala clan, and wait until this time next year, regardless of whether the grain is eaten by insects or notAnyway, often these grains can't be eaten for a year, so they are sold by the purchasing and stewardship partners on the kitchen side to find all kinds of excuses, and finally spend money to buy food outside, and let the people at the bottom be greedy for ink in vain.

Of course, it's no wonder that the Ulanala clan would do this.

The Ulanala clan has been taught various methods of governing the family by Mama Xi since she was a child, but in the end, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she lives a delicate life of fine clothes and food, where does she understand the value of food, and where does she understand that the storage of food needs to pay attention to a lot of details, and she doesn't care whether the food is wasted by the people below, what she pays attention to is whether her authority is threatened, those precious medicinal materials, Whether the rare ingredients are greedy for ink, but they never thought that the grain piled up in the warehouse like a wall can also be realized, and the chicken, duck and fish meat that are placed on the table every day are also rare delicacies in ordinary people's homes, and these small things will also bring great losses to the house.

Because there is no quota for this kind of ordinary ingredients, how much you want to buy, the big kitchen says how much you consume every day, but what is really sent to the master's table is less than a dime, which is why everyone knows that the kitchen errand is a fat poor, because even if it is the most inconspicuous fire girl in the kitchen, it is easy to eat something to improve the food, let alone the purchase and management of real power.

It's just that the people around the Ulanala clan are all nobles who grew up with her since she was a child and have been living a beautiful life, even if it is the oldest Fu Mama, it has been a long time since she didn't eat fireworks in the world for many years, and no one realized this at all, so naturally no one reminded the Ulanala clan to beware of these things.

And Erfu has lived in modern times since childhood, although he has not really dealt with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, but he also knows that waste is shameful, how much does the family spend every month, how much meat, eggs, poultry and how much rice, flour, grain and oil need to be purchased every month, about a conversion, you will know how serious the waste in the house is, so the comparison between the two, on the contrary, it seems that after Erfu, who has lost copper everywhere, has taken over the feed, the expenses in the house have been saved.
