Ning Guogong's Mansion, with three buildings.

At this time, Baochai and Daiyu were sitting in two rows side by side. There were many account books piled on the tables in front of them. These were the daily expenses of the house and the land rents sent from the manors of Ningfu.

Because of his injury, Jia Yun took a rest at home. He had nothing to do at this time, so he came over to see them. Seeing them checking the accounts, Jia Yun didn't say much. After all, this matter had been entrusted to the two of them earlier. , if you ask, there will inevitably be resentment.

Perhaps she was annoyed by Jia Yun's gaze, so Daiyu frowned and said, "You are so inconsiderate. If you are here to help, why are you standing there?"

Jia Yun smiled and said, "Aunt Lin, are you asking your nephew for help?"

Hearing Jia Yun's words, Daiyu immediately raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "This is your business. I helped you with good intentions, but it has become my business."

What Daiyu said is right. The accounts of Ning Mansion are Jia Yun's business, but isn't he just like the "noble young master" in Xi Mansion who has nothing to do all day long?

Jia Yun is the military governor of the Beijing camp and should have been on errands in the capital camp. However, the injury on his butt has not healed properly. In addition, the New Year will be coming in a few days, so Jia Yun simply celebrates the New Year before going on errands. Therefore, this Jia Yun had some free time.

Since the male master has an official business, he will naturally not care too much about the affairs in the house. If everything in the house has to be carefully managed, there will not be so much energy. Originally, Jia Yun let Yuanyang take care of it, and Jia Yun checked the general ledger. Now Dai Now that Yu and Baochai are here, they naturally have to be entrusted with their management. It is not an empty talk that the male is the master outside and the female is the master inside.

Faced with Daiyu's dissatisfaction, Jia Yun smiled and replied: "Both aunts will be housekeepers in the future, so naturally they have to get to know each other in advance. My nephew is doing this for the sake of the two aunts!!!"

When Daiyu heard this, she rolled her eyes at Jia Yun and spat, "It's so full of nonsense that I'm so embarrassed."

Baochai smiled and interrupted: "If Brother Yun is so embarrassed, he won't take advantage of you, Girl Lin, verbally."

Daiyu pursed her lips and laughed when she heard this, looking at Jia Yun with a look full of ridicule.

Jia Yun didn't care. Facing a smart-tongued person like Daiyu, he could only be thick-skinned.

At this time, Baochai stood up and walked towards Jia Yun, handed the account book to Jia Yun, and said: "Now, these are the accounts of the mansion. Brother Yun has a look at them."

Jia Yun took the account book, but did not read it. Instead, he put the account book aside and said with a smile: "I won't read the account book. Aunt Bao just told me to listen to it."

Baochai heard the words and said: "It's nothing. There are twelve villages in Dongfu, and the land rent totals 68,000 taels. Including shops and house rents, the total is 76,000 taels. Apart from these, what is given as a gift?" The food is also very impressive, including a lot of meat, including large deer, deer, roe deer, Siamese pig, soup pig, dragon pig, wild boar, domestic wax pig, wild sheep, green sheep, domestic soup sheep, domestic style sheep, sturgeon and catfish. , various miscellaneous fish, then poultry, live chickens, ducks, geese, chickens, ducks, geese, pheasants, wild cats, bear paws, deer tendons, sea cucumbers, deer tongue, ox tongue, dried razor clams, dried hazelnuts, pine, peaches, Apricot pulp, seafood prawns, dried shrimps, charcoal for winter use, silver cream charcoal, fine, medium, charcoal, grains such as Oden rouge rice, binuo, white glutinous rice, pink japonica, variegated rice grains, regular rice, various dried vegetables , these are grains and various types of charcoal, as well as a lot of seafood..."

Listening to Baochai talk about everything in detail, Jia Yun couldn't help but admire Baochai. Baochai knew all these internal matters at his fingertips, and he was definitely a first-class good wife and mother.

Regarding the twelve Zhuangzi mentioned by Baochai, except for the nine that were already in Dongfu, the remaining three were obtained by plagiarizing Lai Mansion last year. The West Mansion did not want them, so Jia Yun's Dongfu took them over.

As for shops and rent, the Dongfu family has a large business and naturally has many shops and houses, and these are all rented out, making a good profit every year.

Daiyu came over with a few account books and said: "Originally, these Zhuangzi were managed by the head of the village. After Brother Yun distributed the Zhuangzi to the tribesmen for management, the income has increased a lot."

After Jia Yun inherited the clan leadership, he distributed the Ning Mansion's industry to his clan members, promising that 50% of the harvest would go to the Ning Mansion and the other 50% to himself.

Jia Yun naturally understood the increase in income. After all, distributing the estate was a matter of personal interest, so they would naturally take it seriously. As for the original village head, Jia Yun also arranged to subcontract it to them, so he naturally became more honest.

Those who are dishonest have been dealt with by Jia Yun a long time ago. As for those who say old feelings are not old feelings, sorry, this is useless to Jia Yun, especially the old farmer named Wu Jinxiao, who is just an old fritter who still thinks about it.

In order to keep up with the old relationship, he immediately cleaned up and drove out of Zhuangzi.

Hearing this, Baochai nodded and said, "I have also looked at the old accounts, and they are indeed much better than before. It seems that all the village leaders below are hiding traitors in their hearts."

Hearing this, Jia Yun was noncommittal and said: "It seems that this year's income is good. If we relax, maybe the people in charge now will have bad intentions."

These tribesmen are naturally very motivated when they first take on an errand, but if they become old fritters, they will be no different from those village leaders. It is common practice to take advantage of others and conceal them, which will only harm the interests of the Ning Mansion.

Baochai heard the words and responded: "Brother Zhao Yun said this, it's better to be tight in the future."

Jia Yun nodded. Although he said this, Jia Yun had his own things to do, and he definitely couldn't supervise them. Jia Yun let Jia Yun supervise Zhuangzi's affairs. After all, he had a good reputation, and Jia Yun lived up to it.

Jia Yun's trust can be seen from this income. In addition to the nearly 80,000 taels of real gold and silver, the fruits, vegetables, wild meat and seafood are all valuable!!!

In fact, the Duke's family has a big business. If you manage it carefully, you can definitely gain a lot. The people in Xifu are sophisticated and complicated, and the people in charge are not easy to organize. Jia Yun is different. He doesn't care how big the backers of the people below him are.

and disposed of.

When he first took charge of Ning Mansion, Jia Yun made a big push for reforms, no matter who came to ask for mercy.

After groaning, Jia Yun said, "How are the expenses in the mansion now?"

Once you have the income data, what is left is the expenses. If the expenses are more than the income, then this is not a good thing.

Baochai heard the words and replied: "First of all, the master's monthly silver, the average is twenty taels of silver per person per month, plus Grandma You, Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, Brother Yun and Girl Lin, there are four people in total.

That's nine hundred and sixty taels of silver a year.

The wages of servants averaged 1,500 taels of silver per month, which, based on 200 people, was 3,600 taels of silver per year.

The master's average food and clothing expenses per person per month are thirty taels, which this year is one thousand four hundred and forty taels.

The average cost of food and clothing for the servants is one thousand taels per person per month, which is 2,400 taels of silver per year.

The annual income from the welcome fee is about 10,000 taels of silver, and various depreciation and maintenance costs are 6,000 taels of silver per year.

All in all, it’s about 24,400 taels of silver per year.”

When Daiyu heard that Baochai had included her, she rolled her eyes at Baochai angrily, but didn't say much.

It only took Baochai half a month to take charge of Dongfu's accounts. He never thought that he would be able to know everything about Dongfu's accounts. It seems that Baochai has put in a lot of effort!!!

According to Baochai, the income of the mansion is far greater than the expenses of the mansion, which is a great good thing.

Don't think that more than 20,000 taels is a small amount. If converted into current RMB, this is a cost of tens of millions.

In the original work, the Jia family's two mansions suffered losses all year round, mainly due to the large number of people and extravagant spending in the two mansions.

Taking the Xifu as an example, the first and second bedrooms have not been divided into separate families, and there are many people in the house who are called masters. Not only that, there are five hundred maids and servants serving the Xifu, which is also a big sum. According to Baochai, a person in the Xifu

The annual expenditure is at least 50,000 to 60,000 taels.

As for the income, Jia Jianing's Mansion is the leader, so there are many more Zhuangzi in the East Mansion than in the West Mansion. The West Mansion has not benefited the clan members, but still asks the head of the village to take care of it. As for those slaves in the West Mansion who are knocking bones and sucking the marrow, Jia Yun knows a lot about it and estimates that the West Mansion

One year's income is not even half of Jia Yun's. With losses year after year, it is no wonder that Xifu will sell off its properties in the future to maintain Xifu's reputation.

As for the East Mansion, in addition to Jia Yun's reform measures, all the messy people in the mansion were sent out. Therefore, Jia Yun's East Mansion has fewer masters and fewer maids and servants, so he can naturally save a lot of money.

Moreover, Jia Yun did not buy anything extravagant. He just went to Suzhou to buy twelve female officials for not much money. He did not imitate the behavior of those dandy people who spent a lot of money.

Nodding, Jia Yun said: "During the Chinese New Year, those fruits, vegetables and meats sent over will be distributed to the servants in the house for two more months, so that they can have a good New Year.

I'll ask my two aunts to think more about this."

Letting Baochai and Daiyu benefit from the servants in the house is also a favor for them, which is good for them.

When Daiyu heard this, she glanced at Baochai and said, "I can't control this matter. Let Bao girl handle it. It just so happens that I have a rest."

Baochai rolled her eyes at Daiyu and said angrily: "Brother Yun is asking us to help you, so it's better for you to be lazy."

Daiyu snorted, obviously dissatisfied with Baochai saying she was lazy.

Jia Yun didn't say anything. In fact, he knew that Daiyu didn't want to care about these common things. She was a person who was separated from material life and lived in the spiritual world. Her biggest hobby was reading poems. Jia Yun had previously asked Daiyu to

On the one hand, Jia Yun has no time to care about the affairs of the house, and on the other hand, he acknowledges Daiyu's identity. After all, I have never heard of the grandmother taking care of the affairs of the house. If this happens, others will also talk about Daiyu's thoughts.

If you are sensitive, maybe you are doing it for her own good, but you may be feeling disgusted in your heart.

Judging from recent times, Daiyu, the housekeeper, is a lady among everyone and has good housekeeping skills.

After pondering, Jia Yun said: "I have always known that Aunt Lin does not like this way, and Aunt Lin is weak and should not work hard or be tired. Let's do it this way. If Aunt Lin has time, she will take the time to do the math for her nephew. If not, she will do the math for her nephew.

If you don’t have time, then you don’t have to worry about it. Auntie Bao happens to be here, so I’ll have to work harder for Auntie Bao.”

Hearing this, Baochai held up the account book and complained angrily: "You feel sorry for Girl Lin, but you instigate me. It's really unreasonable."

Daiyu originally didn't want to take care of this matter, but Jia Yun also said that she would take care of it if she wanted to, which made Daiyu feel relieved a lot, and what Baochai said was also true. Jia Yun's move showed that he felt sorry for her, and in his heart

I won't think too much about it.

I saw Daiyu approaching, pulling Baochai and saying coquettishly: "Good sister, if you can do more work!!!"

Baochai smiled and shook his head when he heard this, and said helplessly: "You Lin girl's mouth looks like it has been smeared with honey..."

Jia Yun looked at his daughters, who were equally matched, and felt proud in his heart. Who said you can't have your cake and eat it too?
