Who Cares

Even if the father and son had knocked their heads, Guan Suyi wouldn't be touched, let alone they just acted. She clicked on the desktop with her fingers, and said casually, "It's still the same sentence, whether the Ye family can stay, it's up to Lord Hou to decide."

She hooked Jin Jin and asked, "Among those people, women, old people, young men and women, and young children, how about each?"

Kaneko's heart was slightly embarrassed. The test of Mrs. Dark Road finally came. He could not help but rack his brains to remember, he hesitated, "Ms. Hui, 16 women, they are the nine concubines of the mistress of the Ye Palace Liu and the prisoner Ye Quanyong. The first daughter-in-law Song, the second daughter-in-law Li, the fourth daughter-in-law Tang, the three-bedroom wife Wang, the three-bedroom concubine Wu, and the three-bedroom long-law daughter-in-law Zheng; the four elderly people are the three old ladies and the three old ladies. People, and two concubine rooms of Mrs. Ye; young men and women... There seem to be seventeen males and six males, and eleven females. Whose slaves and maidservants admit to incompleteness, please forgive me; there are four young children, each of them is Song The youngest son of the Li family, the youngest daughter of the Tang family, and the youngest daughter of the Zheng family."

Guan Suyi glanced at her thoughtfully, and nodded, "You are one of the few, eighteen boys and girls, six boys and twelve girls. The boys are all concubines and concubines. Among the twelve girls, only Ye Fu , Ye Fen, and Ye Ran are the protagonists. The others are selected from various side branches with excellent looks. They are evaluated every month. Those who fail to meet expectations will be sent back home. There are also substitutes, long-term Staying in Ye Mansion for three to five years, only one or two days are short, you don't know it completely."

Kaneko has been specially trained to recognize so many faces in a quick glance, and count so many people. However, his wife's vision is sharper than hers, and her mind is quicker, even if the dark guard is led by it. One chip. Is this the so-called "gift of talent"? Madam is really extraordinary!

Jin Jin was already convinced, but Zhao Luli didn't know what they were selling, so he couldn't help but anxiously said, "Madam, let's check how many people are in Yefu's family later. Let's find a place for them to settle down first, lest you become seriously ill in the cold weather. You are not. Let me decide? I agreed and told them to stay."

Zhao Wangshu smiled stupidly, looking forward to living with his cousins, but Zhao Chunxi turned pale and didn't want to.

Guan Suyi lowered her eyelids and slowly fiddled with the beads, "It won’t be too late to make a decision after I have finished speaking. Now there are 216 people in the Hou Mansion, with eight masters and 208 servants. The monthly expenses of the master ranged from five hundred taels to one thousand taels, and as many as four to five thousand taels during the New Year's Day; the second master is not in Yanjing, so forget to mention that the younger brother and sister are pregnant with Mu Mu every month. The supplements and medicinal materials are necessary. There are also four seasons clothes, pearl hairpin noodles and other things, which add up to about two hundred taels; the old lady has always been frugal, but because of her age, she must ask the doctor to check her pulse from time to time and prescribe a few safe prescriptions. They also have to worship temples and donate sesame oil, and the total number of zero is one hundred taels; Zhao Chunxi supplies twenty taels of silver monthly, clothes, cloth, jewelry, rouge gouache and other things from time to time, adding up to at least 80 taels, if you are fancy What precious jewellery you want to buy, can reach thousands of taels at most; Zhao Wangshu uses 20 taels of monthly silver, 20 taels for repairs, pen, ink, paper and inkstone every month. The middle is converted into 50 taels. There is also social play, add Clothes and purchases of exquisite items cost nearly five hundred taels here and there; the main house is not very expensive, so it counts as fifty taels. In addition, every few months, there will be celebrations and weddings held by people close to people or Shangfeng subordinates, and the gifts are from the public It’s also a lot of money."

She quickly fiddled with the abacus, her white fingertips lined with brilliant yellow abacus beads, which was so beautiful that Jin Jin looked straight.

The old lady had tasted it, and finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Among the two hundred and eight servants, the rough servants have 300 copper plates a month, the third-class servants have half a copper plate every month, the second-class one or two silver, the first-class two-two silver, each director is in charge of three and two silver, and the deputy steward is four-two. Silver, butlers five taels of silver; of which 68 are crude servants, 54 are third-class servants, 37 are second-class servants, 37 are first-class servants, 36 are first-class servants, five are in charge of each department, and four are deputy stewards. , A housekeeper, with a total monthly salary of one hundred and ninety-two twenty-four bucks. In one year, it is two thousand three hundred and eight 828 bucks, plus the expenses of the masters..."

She crackled for a while and counted, and raised her eyes after a while, "Master Hou, you can see that the annual cost of the Hou Mansion is as high as 19,182,280, and it is still calculated according to the most economical cost. If I tell you the truth, it’s not a small amount for a few hundred servants to chew. If the master wants to dress and eat, don’t they need it? If you don’t have the money, who is rare to serve you as a errand? However, the Hou Mansion has it every year. You know how much profit you have. The shops, the fields, the salaries of you and me, and the silver that the second master sends every year can barely maintain a balance. Now if you want to take in the Yefu family, you think it’s just a lip service. When you touch your lips, just go to the accountant to pay the bills, and I am responsible for the middle feed, but I have to break it with you. When I come to ask you, how do you want to take care of them? Is it just for a bite of food or compare with the Hou Mansion? The master’s share? If you compare the master’s share, the annual cost is this number..."

In the room, there was another crisp sound of the collision of abacus beads and the woman's tactful and sweet announcement. Gradually, Zhao Luli's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his head was buried lower and lower.

After a while, Guan Suyi pushed the abacus to the table and said coldly, "The expenses of the sixteen women and the four old people are compared with the old lady, 24 thousand taels per year; the six young masters compare with Zhao Wangshu, three times a year. Six thousand two thousand; twelve girls compare Zhao Chunxi, 11,520 taels per year; four young children compare Mu Mu, 1,920 taels per year, the total is 73,440 Twelve taels, plus the monthly silver of the servants brought by the people, is about 74,000 taels, which does not count the court fees and the relationship between the management of the male in the sky prison and the reduction of punishment. Dare to ask Lord Hou where the annual expenditure of nearly one hundred thousand taels comes from? Steal or **** it?"

The old lady was completely relieved, while twirling the beads, watching her son's sweat dripping with cold eyes, embarrassed and ugly.

"What should that person give a bite of food to eat?" Zhao Luli's face was flushed with blood.

Guan Suyi glanced at him contemptuously, slowly smoothed the bead, and said quietly, "A bite of food is not a small fee, and Master Hou needs to be prepared. To feed such people, food, clothing, housing and transportation are indispensable. food…"

Everyone was staring at her fingertips flying up and down, as if it were a flower. In fact, the little abacus was indeed a ball of splendor by her, and the result was achieved in a moment, even if it was reduced again and again. It takes about 23,000 taels.

"Master Hou, can you give me a word, do the Ye family leave or stay?" Guan Suyi pushed the mess back.

Zhao Wangshu had already shown timidity at this time, and quietly hid beside his grandmother, while Zhao Chunxi looked up at his father, desperately wanting to get the word "go" from him.

However, if Zhao Luli was willing to leave Ye Zhen and her mother, he would not be the seed of infatuation that could harm his wife and children in his previous life. He thought for a while and hesitated, "If you let them stay, is there a more economical way?"

The old lady who thought her son would choose to compromise almost fainted, severely pinched off the Buddhist beads in her hand, and cursed "evil son". Zhao Chunxi suffocated her breath, then quickly buried her head, lest everyone see her resentful expression.

Guan Suyi was unmoved by the wind, and dialed the abacus lightly, "There are two ways to save households, one is to increase income, and the other is to reduce expenditure. The Houfu has only so many shops and fields, and there is no more money to buy. If the industry wants to increase revenue, the only way to get the second brother to send back more money every year."

"No! The second brother fends off the enemy at the border, and often puts his head on his trousers, I don't know whether he can return safely in this life. The silver he sent is his blood and sweat, and I feel ashamed." Zhao Luli thought. Unwillingly refuse.

You still have a conscience. Guan Suyi straightened her lips and continued, "Then there is only one way to reduce expenditure. Cut the expenses of the Hou Mansion and Ye Mansion by half, so I can make do with it. But let me say it first, the old lady is old. High, low spirits, her expenses must not be less."

"Naturally." Zhao Luli nodded.

"The younger brother and sister are pregnant and carry Mu Mu, so the cost of the second room can't be less."

"nature."

"I will be responsible for the cost of the main room in the future, and I will not take a cent from the contribution of the Hou's mansion, lest some people make irresponsible remarks behind their backs."

"No!" Zhao Luli and the old lady refused in unison.

Guan Suyi is not a living bodhisattva, so how could she die for the Ye family? Although she had already planned to draw a clear line with the Hou Mansion, she completely separated the main house from it by this time, which also saved a lot of troubles in the future. Moreover, she even gave up the cost of the main house. No matter how dissatisfied the Ye family is, this alone can silence them, and outsiders can't find the slightest error.

She can not care about her reputation, but she can't care about the reputation of Guan's family. It is better to be considerate.

"If I don't express my opinion, the Ye family can't bear the hardship life in the future, and will there be no peace in the main house?"

"Mother-in-law is not that kind of person. If I explain clearly to her, she will definitely understand my difficulties." Zhao Luli said firmly.

After hearing this, the old lady and Guan Suyi both smiled coldly, and even Zhao Chunxi shook his head secretly, slanderously: If grandmother really understands others, she won’t force everyone to kowtow at the gate of the palace on rainy days, and she won’t cry. Shouting to live in Hou's Mansion. The selfishness of the Ye family is carved into the bones, even if I retain half of the Ye family's blood, I have to admit it. I don't know what my mother did back then that made Daddy value Ye Family so much. Mother, you are the most selfish person in the world!

After all sorts of changes, Zhao Chunxi actually resented Ye Zhen, and his mood became more and more difficult to calm down.

Guan Suyi was too lazy to argue with these idiots, and said lightly, "Hou Ye said what he said, but the decision I made can not be changed. The main room cost is separated from the Zhongguo, and we will not interfere with each other in the future. Next, we will continue to talk. Throttling. After all, Hou Ye needs to communicate with each other, and the cost can be reduced by half. Zhao Wangshu and Zhao Chunxi minus two-thirds. The servants in the front yard, Penglai Garden, and Jingzhe Building also have their monthly silver reduced to 30%. Able to spare eight or nine thousand taels, barely able to support the Ye Family's family."

Zhao Wangshu still didn't realize the concept of spending two-thirds of frugality, but Zhao Chunxi complained in his bones and his eyes were red. Why should she give the Ye family even the beautiful clothes, luxurious cloth, jewelry, and rouge gouache? When the Ye Family was extremely wealthy, she never missed her at all.

However, Guan Suyi knocked on the table and said, "Eating and dressing are resolved, there are still housing and transportation to be arranged urgently. There are forty-two masters in the Ye family, and 84 servants underneath. This one hundred and twenty Where does Person No. 6 live? Does Lord Hou have a charter?"

Zhao Luli was asked again, sweat gurgling down.
