There are still more than 20 days before the Chinese New Year, and the family is gradually getting busy. Looking at the hurried maids, thinking of the various purchases and preparations before the Chinese New Year in the future life, Xia Hongsheng couldn't help but sigh. The days of the landlords and bureaucrats are **, they don't have to do anything by themselves, and the subordinates at home will prepare everything, of course, this is due to a reliable housekeeper and a reliable bookkeeper.

Therefore, when he had leisure on this day, Xia Hongsheng went to find the two of them.

The housekeeper was given to him by Qu Tutong, and the bookkeeper was found by Xu Xiaode, and the subordinates below were from Qu Tutong's gift from the room and Li Laoer's reward. Xia Hongsheng scratched his head, daring to feel that he didn't have a real subordinate yet! However, it's not a pity, those people who were rewarded by Li Lao Er naturally regarded this place as their home, because they couldn't go anywhere except here, otherwise they would be fugitive slaves, and if they were caught, they would be killed and the government would not care, so they should do their best. And those sent by Qu Tutong, now that Qu Tutong has died, his son has inherited the title, and now they are mainly in Luoyang, they have no way out except for being attached to Xia Hongsheng's family.

In addition, Xia Hongsheng treats these subordinates in the family very well, at least he doesn't beat or scold, and he also pays his salary on a monthly basis, although it is not much, but this is not available in other families, and Xia Hongsheng is just trying to make them feel at ease, and there is nothing excessive. That alone is enough to keep their hearts.

What's more, each person has two days off in the middle of the month, and they can set their own days off, which is unheard of. Moreover, Xia Hongsheng not only did not prohibit them from visiting their relatives, but also asked them to bring some gifts home, which is simply unimaginable to these subordinates.

In addition, some of these subordinates have relatives who are not far from Chang'an, and sometimes they come to visit. If you change to another house, you can only sneak a look at it from a distance through the door of the house, and if you are discovered, you will be beaten badly. And when it comes to Xia Hongsheng, here. Not only did he not beat him, but he would also ask him to invite his relatives into the house as guests and stay for dinner.

Yes, in the entire Xia Mansion, whether it is in the house on the Zhuangzi. is still a house in Chang'an City, and the subordinates in it are grateful to Xia Hongsheng.

It's not that Xia Hongsheng has gained fame, it's just that he comes from later generations, and in his bones he is still not used to using these subordinates as animals. This is just to make myself feel at ease when I am calling them, and I don't have any baggage in my heart.

"Steward Tian, the winery is almost finished, and production can start in the spring. When the time comes, Steward Tian may have children and nephews, or others who want to arrange it. Tell me before the head, when you enter the winery, you can get in touch with some dignitaries and nobles, and you can learn and experience it, and our industry will still need someone to manage it in the future. The housekeeper sent by Qu Tutong is said to have been a scholar in the past, but later his mother was seriously ill and was rescued by Qu Tutong, so in order to repay his kindness, he entered Qu Tutong's house as a housekeeper. Xia Hongsheng saw his ability. Now this huge family is managed by him with his sister-in-law, and it is well organized, so that Xia Hongsheng does not have to worry about things at home. It was Xia Hongsheng who felt that he couldn't be stingy.

When Steward Tian heard this, he immediately hurriedly knelt on the ground, Xia Hongsheng hurriedly grabbed him, and said: "Go back to Steward Tian or ask your family, if you feel inconvenient to live in the house, pick a place to build a house in Zhuangzi." There is also Xu's account room. Let's build a house together and let the family come too. It's not good to be separated as a family. Don't worry about Uncle Xu disagreeing, I'll go and say it. ”

"So, thank you, Childe." Xu Shufang thanked him and said with a smile.

"By the way, gather the family together, I have something to say." Xia Hongsheng said to Steward Tian and Xu Ledger.

The two of them obeyed, turned around and went to gather the people. Soon, the people in the family were gathered in the front yard, Xia Hongsheng saw that everyone had arrived, so he said loudly: "Now it is only about 20 days before the New Year, and during the New Year, it is estimated that someone will come to the door, and no one at home will take care of it, so the New Year is not for everyone to go home for the New Year." In these 20 days, you can negotiate on your own, stagger the time, take advantage of the ten-month vacation to go home, and during the ten-month vacation, everyone can go to Mr. Xu to spend the same money as a year-end bonus. Everyone has been busy for this family for so long, and as long as I am still in the future, our family will send a year-end bonus every year, thank you for your hard work in the past year. By the way, the year-end bonus is the money that is given to everyone at the end of the year, in addition to the salary. During the holidays, you can take these bonuses to have a good year for your family, or buy some things for yourself, but don't take them to lose, if there is anyone who tells me to gamble, immediately expel from the house! ”

"Consistently?" Even Steward Tian and Xu Shufang were stunned, not to mention the people below.

has always been copper money, put in an ordinary people's home, enough to live a good life for more than half a year!

Xia Hongsheng didn't have much feeling about this at that time, when there was no money in the later life, he was not angry with a small family, not to mention that he was rich now. When I was working in the later life, I thought that one day I would become a boss, and the year-end bonus must not be hacked. There are only a few dozen people in the left and right families, and they only have a few dozen dollars, and they sell a set of high-grade coal stoves, or sell a cart of honeycomb coal, and they will come back.

Those people haven't heard of any year-end bonuses, but they have always heard it clearly, but they can't believe it, thinking that this is Xia Hongsheng testing them! Also, who has ever heard that money will be paid to the next person in the family at the end of the year? And not a few, dozens of texts, but consistently!

Seeing that there was no response for a long time below, Xia Hongsheng wondered, huh? How is it different from what you imagined? How is it that no one thanks the boss?!

Xia Hongsheng scratched his head a little embarrassed, and was about to speak, but saw the cook suddenly kneel down and said, "Childe! We can't ask for this money! Childe treats us well on weekdays, doesn't beat or scold, even if he does something wrong and breaks things at home, he doesn't see anyone sorry for Childe. Not to mention that the son gives us a regular amount of money every month, and asks all over Chang'an City, which one will give the next person a regular money, and also give two days off, let those who go out to play, and allow their families to come to the door? Not a single one! Childe's kindness to us, we can't pay it back for the rest of our lives, if we still reach out and take this consistent money, we will lose our conscience! God will not be able to see it, and punish us! Childe, we can't ask for this money! ”

"Yes, Childe!"

The people followed the cook and chimed in.

"Come on, this is the rule set by this son." Xia Hongsheng waved his hand: "It's all people, let you clean everything up at home, so that I don't have to worry about things at home, and I am also grateful to you." I've made up my mind about the year-end bonus, and I thought, most of you have family and relatives, right? Take the bonus and go back to buy some things, so that the family can have a good New Year, and don't worry about food and drink, isn't this the biggest wish and motivation of people outside? When I went back with those bonuses, I patted my chest and proudly said that this was all my own labor income, and I didn't steal, rob, cheat, or cheat, and I earned it by my own efforts, whether it was myself or my family, I also had a bright face. As I said just now, this money is not for you to bury Hu Hua, but to use it in a worthy place. Drinking, yes, don't get drunk and make trouble. Gambling is absolutely forbidden, no matter how much it is, it can be lost. As for the Green House...... I don't care about you if you don't have a family, don't be obsessed with it and be deceived, if you become a family, just collect your thoughts, and have a good New Year as a family, better than anything else! If these three articles are violated, don't blame me for being merciless, and immediately expel me from the door! ”

Everyone immediately knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to thank him.

Xia Hongsheng let them get up, and said, "Steward Tian and Mr. Xu, the two of them have kept this house in order for me, saving me how much trouble?" A year-end bonus of 50 per person, don't be polite. ”

"Five...... Fifty runs?! Steward Tian and Xu Accounts were straight-eyed, and they were about to resign, but they were stopped by Xia Hongsheng.

"You two have done a great job for me and deserve these rewards. Don't shirk, there will be more places to bother the two of you in the future. Xia Hongsheng waved his hand, pulled Steward Tian and Xu Ledger up from the ground, and said.

"Thanks to Childe, I value the small one so much!" Steward Tian was already in tears: "The little one swears to the sky that he will always serve his son as the master in this life, and he will never turn his back!" ”

Xu Shufang was also red with excitement, his hands were trembling, and he couldn't stop saying in his mouth.

"Everyone also knows that my Xia family is thin, just me and my sister-in-law, we used to be the two of us, and there was no popularity in the family, but after everyone came, there were a lot of people in this house, and it was finally like a lively home. So, in fact, I already see everyone as a home, and I hope that everyone can make this their home. Xia Hongsheng's voice was sincere and said to everyone.

Everyone was even more excited when they heard this, and knelt down again, Xia Hongsheng asked them all to get up, let them disperse, and set a day for the next holiday.

When I went back to the hall, my sister-in-law, who had been watching inside, looked at the people who were chattering and discussing excitedly outside, and asked with some worry: "Hongsheng, will you be too little dignified by the head of the family if you do this?" ”

"Haha, sister-in-law, you don't know, this is called cultivating a sense of ownership, if this can give them a sense of belonging like home, then do you need to worry about what they have different intentions, and do you need to worry about them not doing things well? Who wouldn't want their home to be better? Xia Hongsheng smiled: "Besides, sister-in-law, look at them, have they become rude because of our preferential treatment?" Sister-in-law, don't worry, this is also my intention, and I want to try whether they are worth continuing to stay in our family, the descendants of our family, as long as they have good character and bad conduct, they can't stay! ”

The woman nodded when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law has forgotten, now that my family Hongsheng is also an official family, this matter can naturally be handled." Now that you are the head of our family, everything is up to you to decide. (To be continued.) )
