Mr. Cui shook his head and sighed, "It's good not to give you tea leaves. We all bring tea from home. By the way, I bring some snacks and firewood charcoal. The firewood charcoal is almost burned. It was supplied by Old Man Li last month."

"The prime minister has to bring food by himself. It doesn't mean he's hungry. It's simply outrageous."

Zi Lan shook her head and couldn't believe it. She was so chaotic that the prime minister didn't even have any refreshments. Who would believe it if he said it?

Mr. Cui immediately smiled, "I will give you food if I don't bring it, but it's all cold and hard. We are all this old, so how dare we eat raw and cold food? We are not idle even if we get sick, and we suffer even more.

I can only bring more firewood and charcoal by myself and bring hot heat from home, so I won’t get sick at least.”

"This is true. Once, I ate their snacks too late and got sick when I came back. It was so fatal. The county magistrates were not as good as the current officials. These eunuchs were very slippery."

The old lady shook her head and sighed, "If the family is not ready, just wait to suffer."

"No wonder the emperor wants to reform. I guess other places may not be very good except for the emperor's safety."

"I really let you say that, that's it, there's nothing I can do."

"Go and have someone decorate more firewood and charcoal and get another leather mattress. It is still very cold in spring nights, so you have to cover it."

Zi Lan quickly prepared whatever he thought of. It was better to have more than nothing. The prime ministers spent most of the day working in the Secretariat.

The old lady smiled and nodded. Mr. Cui moved his chopsticks and everyone started to eat.

After dinner, the men were going to work in the ministry. Muxiang gave Cui Yu and Cui Jian a pack of tea, firewood, charcoal and hand warmer to the servants in front of Cui Hao, and no one left behind.

The servant got on the carriage and said to Cui Jian, "Second Master, that girl Mu Xiang gave her high-quality tea and a porcelain bottle, which smelled nothing."

Cui Jian smiled, "Save that bottle, it is the dew for making tea, don't gossip about others. Be respectful to the second young lady and don't be rude."

"Don't worry, I know."

The man has left, and the old lady said to Zi Lan, "Yesterday they heard you say that the orders were very good, so I asked the whole mansion to do it. You can get the inner courtyard, and wait for Brother Hao to come back and let him go to the outer courtyard."

"I asked my grandmother to make face for me. I'm used to doing this. Muxiang went to get something to show her grandmother."

He continued, "Help me see what's wrong. In the past, I always read the notebook first, and then decided to use the person or replace the manager's wife."

"Oh, you need to replace it? Is there any statement?"

The old lady heard a new word, "Replace, don't the woman in charge continue to do it?"

"It is necessary to replace it. Check it once every six months. Allow people to recommend themselves to replace the manager, or promote him to go to another place.

The assessment is once a year. As a manager, do you manage the warehouse or the kitchen throughout the year? How much does it cost? Compared with other rooms, why do you use more?

Comparing the monthly accounts, do you reward the people below? Do you share the joys and sorrows or take them away by yourself.

Is the master satisfied? Are you satisfied with you? Are you satisfied with your subordinates? Are you waiting for your servants? In the end, the master will gain a harsh reputation. I won’t take the blame. If you do well, you can continue to do it. If you don’t work, you can step down and replace someone else with it.”

Zi Lan explained in detail the origin of this. One year is a deadline, which is enough to see if a person is suitable for a department head. It’s just a few things that you didn’t let you do national affairs.

The old lady nodded after thinking deeply. Jiang also looked at her in shock, and secretly admired her in her heart. As expected, she was really a talented person to be a clan wife at this level.

"I understand. You want them to understand that life and death and power are always in your hands. Don't try to fool people. You give the people below the opportunity to compete for, and there are opportunities every year. In this way, everyone can do things seriously because they have the opportunity to be promoted."

"Yes, I just let them understand that I can only give it to you, not to any of the officials in charge, but to you by the master."

"Is the Song family also using this rule?"

The old lady suddenly asked about this.

"Yes, my grandfather later discovered that my method could restrain the people below, so that everyone would become so mean and would do something to deceive the superiors and hide the subordinates.

If you choose publicly once a year, you will show the contributions of the year in front of everyone. If you make up for it with great care afterwards, you will be given a chance, but you will have to punish it;

2. Small mistakes cannot exceed five times, and minor mistakes exceed three times. First-class managers must be reduced to wait. First-class monthly silver is removed, and no promotion can be promoted within a year. Now the Song family uses this rule."

Zi Lan did not hide her own personal information, and explained it carefully.

"This method is good. With constraints, there is a bottom line. You can keep an eye on it all the time and not disgusting. Everyone is very motivated and can think wholeheartedly for the master's family."

The old lady is experienced and after hearing this, she knew that it was because of Zi Lan that the Song family could get rid of the predicament so quickly and get out of the quagmire.

"Then can our family use this method? Otherwise, my father-in-law will go to the Song family to ask."

Jiang also realized the benefits of this method, so he asked for instructions first to avoid making things difficult for Zilan.

"No need to ask, I can't use it for the time being."

Zi Lan shook her head slightly.

Jiang was stunned for a moment, thinking that it might be inconvenient. After all, this is something from the Song family and may not be willing to give it to him.

"If it's inconvenient, forget it."

"She didn't mean that. It would take time to unite with the wholehearted unity of the whole family. At present, the Cui family does not trust Lan'er. Even if the slaves in our family do not trust her, it is impossible for the Song family to do what they do.

It is OK to change it slightly, but it may not be easy to involve the entire family.

As far as I know, the Song family has been exploring for more than five years in order to reform, but they will improve a little. Reform is not easy. We still need to discuss this matter with the old man. It would be great if we can improve within five years."

After all, people become eloquent. The old lady immediately understood what Zi Lan meant. If she didn't want to, she wouldn't have proposed it. Since she said that she was willing, reform was not an urgent matter. This is true for the court and the family.

"So that's the case, how should we cooperate with you?"

Jiang was very impressed and felt that he was willing to hand over his home earlier.

"Make a list first. Everyone has done errands and major rewards in their life.

Then after comprehensive consideration, whether to reward or transfer the person for promotion should be given, there must be a reason. First, reward those who have made meritorious, look at the situation, punish one or two for taking the money, and see the reaction,"
