Chapter 22 The First Staff Meeting

Author: Soy Sauce Xuanzhu

And this is not just one person acting, but a group of people acting together.

Even if you are an experienced actor, you can't stay away from acting every day for 365 days.

To sum up, Li Yewu felt that it was unlikely that this group of people would pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, and it was purely because of his overthinking.

However, this incident also shows from the side that Taihe City is not as peaceful and traceless as it appears.

Since there are people from Meihua Village in the palace, there may be other forces that she doesn't know about yet. Will these forces allow her to change the situation in Taihe City?

The answer is unknown though.

But in ancient times, many people who sought reform ended badly.

This in turn hints at the results to a certain extent.

However, no matter what the future holds, Li Yewu can only move forward.

Otherwise, once Xiao Jiuxi dies, her ending will be nothing more than death.

After calming everyone down, Li Yewu didn't want to delay any longer. She simply held a palace staff meeting overnight and called all 30 attendants and 19 handymen from the palace.

Li Yewu was also not sure whether the ancient art of disguise was really like what was said in the TV series. The human skin mask was fake and the real person wanted to change who he wanted to be. She asked everyone to check each other and assess each other to make sure that at least they were not imposters.

Move on to the next agenda.

"I believe everyone is aware of our hunting trip these days and what happened just now. Now I will give you some time to say anything you want to say or ask. Say it once and for all, and don't mention it again in the future."

Everyone was stunned.

Generally speaking, when something big happens in a house, doesn’t the master just keep silent about it?

The little lady actually gave everyone a chance to ask questions?

Sure enough, he comes from a grassroots background, so he is particularly close to the people?

Everyone's eyes were complicated, but no one dared to ask questions in a daze.

Li Yewu glanced at them lightly.

"Since no one wants to ask, I will assume that you all know it. Don't let me see you secretly asking people about it in the future."

Everyone bowed their heads in guilt, taking this passage as a deliberate excuse by the master to attack their usual inquiries.

"Also, I want you to know clearly that this Shi Er is made by Meihuazhai Long Jiudingbao. The real Shi Er is likely to be more misfortune than good.

Since Meihua Village can capture Shi Er without anyone noticing, it can naturally capture you too.

So, from now on, no matter who you are, you must be more careful. Of course, if you find something wrong with the people around you, you must report it in time, you know?”

When the life of the family was at stake, the servants and servants immediately exploded.

"No wonder I've been feeling strange about Shi Er during this period."

"Indeed, he has not been very friendly since he came back from visiting relatives. It has been more than three months."

"Fortunately, the little lady saw through it. It's really terrible."

Everyone's heart was filled with sorrow, and they never imagined that they would spend three months living with the murderous members of Meihua Village day and night!

Thinking that they often quarreled over the distribution of work these days, everyone couldn't help but feel scared.

Fortunately, Long Jiu did not commit murder, otherwise they would have died ten thousand times.

After all, these rough and tumble servants did not grow up around Xiao Jiuxi, so their loyalty is certainly not that high.

At the beginning, everyone was recruited into the government just to make ends meet, but now their lives are in danger, and many people have the intention to quit.

Seeing their retreat, Li Yewu said cheerfully.

"Those who want to leave can make a request, and the old housekeeper will let them out of the house without any embarrassment."

"Yes." The old housekeeper didn't complain at all, he was obedient.

Normally, he would have disagreed. Many tasks in the house were inseparable from rough servants.

But after Long Jiu's trouble, the old housekeeper no longer wanted to stay as an outsider.

God knows if Long Jiu will make a comeback. What if he does his old trick again? He doesn't want to leave a safety hazard in the mansion.

Therefore, when the madam said that he could be released directly, the old housekeeper almost agreed with both hands.

No one expected that Prince Zhang's Mansion would be so straightforward.

Thank you so much for a moment.

"No need to thank me, thank you all for your help during this time. Whether you stay or continue, we will accept it.

But please bear in mind what happened in the palace today. After all, Meihua Village already scares people. If their arrogant behavior spreads, the common people will become even more frightened.

Therefore, no matter it is for the sake of the people outside or the face of Prince Chang's palace, no further discussion is allowed. If word spreads outside, I will only ask you."

"Don't worry, Master, we will keep it secret to the death." All the servants promised again and again.

"Yes, you've been so kind to us, we won't repay you with enmity."

Two of the most sincere servants just raised their fists and swore.

Li Yewu yawned with satisfaction.

"That's it for today's meeting. You guys should go to bed early. You can just go or stay with the old housekeeper to register tomorrow."

As he spoke, he chatted to the old housekeeper again, not shying away from the servants around him at all.

"It seems that the herbs we picked need to be processed quickly. Old housekeeper, you have worked hard tonight and you can go and count them with me."

"Uh..." The old housekeeper was a little surprised.

On the surface, the young lady said she was counting medicinal materials, but in fact she was counting gold and silver treasures!

The little lady actually asked him to order gold and silver jewelry with her! How much trust did she have in him to do this!

The old housekeeper felt like he was finally being appreciated.

"I don't have to work hard, it's my honor to serve my wife."

"You have to know how to praise people!"

Just like that, the old housekeeper and Li Yewu went to the warehouse to count the goods.

The entourage was guarding the only exit of the warehouse.

Li Yewu pulled away the herbs on the basket. Inside, the golden gold and shiny jewelry shone with the candlelight.

Li Yewu happily assigned work.

She took stock of the quantity, and the old housekeeper was responsible for appraising the jewelry.

There is no way, she doesn't understand the prices here, nor does she know how much these bracelets and jade are worth.

The valuation can only be left to the old housekeeper.

It was not until dawn that Li Yewu finally took stock of the general ledger of this mountain goods.

They were not bad luck. They took away a total of 50,000 ingots of gold, worth 5 million taels of silver, as well as jewelry, jewelry, jade, luminous pearls, etc. The old housekeeper made a rough estimate based on their appearance, and the value was also 5 million taels.

about.

In other words, they earned a total of 10 million taels from this trip. Even after excluding the debt of 8 million taels, there is still a surplus of 2 million taels!

The price here is that one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver, and ten taels of silver is equal to ten thousand copper coins!

As long as she plans well, it shouldn't be a problem to complete the preliminary infrastructure construction of Taihe City with 2 million taels.

Li Yewu immediately saw hope.

However, this money cannot be taken out all at once.

Otherwise, it would be equivalent to announcing that Meihua Village and the others had dug an ancient tomb.

She has to find a way to turn these gold jewelry into reasonable cash, commonly known as "money laundering"

Li Yewu was planning her way when there was a knock on the door outside.

"My dear madam, the regular money from the imperial capital has arrived."

"!" Li Yewu raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Chapter completed!
