In front of everyone, after personally awarding the year-end bonuses to the ten highest-ranking and ten bankers with the greatest contribution, Li Anran didn't need to be busy anymore for the rest. However, he did not leave because of this, but sat on the high platform and accepted the grateful, supportive and awe-inspiring salutes of every dealer who received the year-end bonus from the account before being called by name.
Unlike other villas, under Lee's management, these farms are not counted on a per-household basis. It's about what specific people have contributed to the lodge or what work they have done. Therefore, it is often the man of the family who has just won the year-end bonus, and then the woman of the family is named to get back her share.
Even, some of the older children in the family also have a share. The difference is only that the job position and contribution are different, and this year-end bonus is more or less.
Everyone who was called by name in the back, although they all got their year-end bonuses in the hands of those tents, but everyone's final eyes and gratitude were all aimed at the figure on the high platform. And this kind of high-profile and feeling also made Li Anran feel a little fluttery.
Considering that the dealers still have to go home for the holidays, after the year-end rewards were issued, Li Anran didn't talk about anything else, but just took out the couplets he had written a few days in advance. It's one for each household.
Not to mention that there was no Spring Festival couplets in the Tang Dynasty, but there was. There is no way to compare it to the modern time and space that has gone through thousands of years of cultural precipitation. Therefore, these meanings are auspicious, the content is easy to understand, and the most important thing is that the Spring Festival couplets written by the owner himself are very popular with the villagers.
After the Spring Festival couplets were distributed, as the farmers dispersed, Li Anran couldn't relax, but came to the front yard of the manor and began to give year-end bonuses to the people in the garden.
After this period of running-in, the people who remain in the garden now are individuals or entire families who have signed a death contract. Relative to those outside the bankers. Although the status of these subordinates is not necessarily very high, in terms of closeness, it is not comparable to that of the bankers and the hired people. Therefore, the year-end bonus is naturally more generous.
Different from the outside dealers, in addition to the same bills of different denominations such as cloth stamps, grain stamps, vegetable stamps, oil stamps, etc., which can be exchanged, the cash that should have been issued has also been replaced by a kind of money stamps.
This kind of money stamps are divided into seven different denominations according to one, two, five, ten, twenty, fifty and one hundred documents, and there are also differences in volume, color, and pattern.
Since it is only circulated within the lodge. So the number of these money tickets is not much. However, the zuò is very beautiful. This kind of plastic banknotes using plastic substrates, transparent windows, light-changing images, embossing and embossing and other technologies, whether in terms of production cost or technical content, are much higher than ordinary banknotes in modern time and space circulation.
In fact, the cost of these banknotes is even much higher than the value of the denomination. Such behavior. In addition, those predators in the financial industry, even novices who have just entered the industry, will also express strong contempt for Li Anran's ignorance and brain-dead.
But for Li Anran, this kind of banknotes and bills that can only be circulated inside the villa were originally just a test of the economic system of Datang's time and space. Since the number of issues is not much, and as long as someone wants to exchange it into copper coins. These money tickets will be recovered, so why not do better.
As for the people who get these beautiful money tickets. Whether he is reluctant to exchange it for huàn, or to keep it for the purpose of adding value to the collection, is not what Li Anran, who has a bad taste, wants to care about.
In addition to the previous bills and money bills with various high-tech technologies, Li Anran also ordered a large number of copper coins in modern time and space. Although according to the manufacturer's construction, it is far easier to make a coin without a hole than a coin with a hole, but considering that it is not the time to be able to come as you want, it still uses Kaiyuan Tongbao as a template.
The copper content of these coins is much higher than that of the genuine Kaiyuan Tongbao, and it is also more exquisite copper coins, which have been unanimously welcomed by the top and bottom as soon as they were launched. Due to the large number of zuò coins, the cost of these copper coins was much cheaper than the one made at Chow Tai Fook.
In fact, when this kind of copper coins began to replace the original copper coins in the villa, Wang Youde, who was a housekeeper, once deliberately talked to Li Anran about something.
That is, new money with a high copper content, which can easily be bought in large quantities and then melted, either by adding some miscellaneous materials and casting into bad money, or by making some utensils, and then earning the so-called "price difference" from it.
Li Anran didn't understand Steward Wang's reminder, and even thought about this issue before deciding to do so. But considering his future plans, he still "insisted on going his own way".
The only thing that makes Wang Youde happy is that since the change of master, the supply of goods in the villa is obviously much stronger than before. It can be said that whether it is firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, or items related to clothing, food, and housing, you can buy them in Zhuangzi, and the price is at least 20% cheaper than the market price.
This kind of welfare is directly led to no one wants to go outside to spend money to buy things, if there are any small things or items that are rarely used in ordinary times, they will be counted by the commissary in the villa for unified purchase.
With more and more dealers, subordinates, and hired people, the initial commissary soon developed into a hypermarket. In the end, even those outsiders who go to Zhuangzi to visit relatives and friends will buy a lot of things in the store before leaving, and even some people with active brains will often come to engage in "wholesale" under the pretext of visiting relatives and friends.
For such a small action, after Wang Youde reported it to someone, what he got was a reply that as long as there was no problem, he would let it go. Although it was very annoying to see these people taking advantage of the villa, but as the master, they all said so, and the big housekeeper Wang could only let the people below stare carefully, and once he found any signs of something wrong, he must report it in time.
Different from giving year-end bonuses to the dealers, Li Anran not only personally distributed the year-end bonuses to those subordinates of Xiaoyao Villa, but also gave cordial and gentle greetings. Invisibly, the enthusiasm and cohesion of the people under it have become a lot stronger.
After getting the year-end bonuses of the next people, Li Anran did not forget those soldiers who were still in the name of the nursing home. It's just that although Wang Youde also sent a lot of condolences, there is no money at all.
Just kidding, Cheng Chuhei said that he was the guardian of the villa, but his actual identity was still Li Shimin's soldier. This kind of overstepping the rules and substituting for others, if it is not good, it will be deducted by people with good intentions to buy people's hearts and plot bad things.
Even with the results of the previous meeting, Li Anran was still relatively satisfied, but he was not stupid enough to touch every taboo and reverse scale of the emperor.
It is precisely because of this idea that in addition to the nursing home getting a batch of a large number of ingredients as a year-end bonus, the battalion of soldiers still stationed near the villa has not been able to get the slightest benefit from someone.
After all the year-end bonus distribution matters are completed, the sun, which was originally three poles sunset, is already in a state of sunset.
Considering that after more than half a year, those subordinates can be regarded as conscientious. In line with the idea that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, Li Anran directly held a big dinner in the courtyard.
Fatty meat, tender seafood, steamed millet rice in a large pot, soup cakes (noodles) prepared in advance, fruits and vegetables that are no longer visible at this time of year, and light sake to keep everyone entertained without getting drunk and mishap.
As the owner of a village, Li Anran naturally can't really mix with these people. In the Tang Dynasty, if you really did this, no one would think you were approachable, either scared or that you had something wrong with your brain. So, after showing a face at the beginning and saying a few words such as eating and drinking, he returned to the inner courtyard.
Even so, Wang Youde, who is a butler, did not forget to knock those subordinates, so as not to make some moth trouble on Chinese New Year's Eve to block his young master.
