He was afraid that his father would let him settle in a business, so he quickly said: "Dad, I think Manbao is right. Just put the business in Lijun's name. We are all flesh and blood, how can Lijun cheat us?"
Zhou Lijun: "..."
Wu Lang and Zhou Lang nodded repeatedly. They did not want to split up their families. If they split up, the business would be mainly run by their three small families, and they would all be at risk of losing business registration.
Although Man Bao said that people with business registration can also take the imperial examination and become officials, but there are many restrictions, and it is even more difficult to go further. Some people will not be able to reach the fifth rank in their lifetime just because they are business people, even if they are talented and knowledgeable.
.
Although they think that level 5 is very powerful, if the children can go to the next level, why should they stay at the bottom?
Not to mention how powerful they are, at least they can't hold their children back in their household registration, right?
I heard Man Bao say that if his family was a merchant and he became an official, the censor's eyes would be like the two lanterns on the door. He would want to pull you out every meal to see if you had violated the rules.
If I feel so aggrieved, I might as well not be an official.
Of course, this is far away, so they say it is close. Although the three of them have been wandering alone in recent years and have become proficient in doing business on their own, they still mainly listen to their elder brothers, especially the eldest brother, for matters at home.
Isn't it because Zhou Lang can go out for half a year without worrying about his family at all? Isn't it because he has his elder brother, sister-in-law and others at home, so he can have nothing to worry about?
If the family were separated, his wife would be the only one with several children at home, and she would not be able to sleep peacefully outside.
So the three of them turned to look at Zhou Dalang and asked him, "Brother, what do you think?"
Zhou Dalang: "...I listen to dad."
Lao Zhoutou quickly answered, "Then there is no difference!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at his old wife, lowered his voice, and asked, "What do you think?"
Qian was relieved and said with a smile: "Since you don't want to divide it, then let's not divide it."
She looked at Zhou Lijun.
Grandma had already discussed this matter with Zhou Lijun and Xiang Mingxue. She had also discussed it with Xiang Mingxue for a long time. She had already come up with the articles of association, nodded and said, "I agree to put all the family business in my name."
Everyone exhaled a breath.
Zhou Lijun said: "I have discussed it with my grandma. Since it is going to be put under my name, it should be kept clean."
She turned to look at Xiang Mingxue and said, "Mingxue said that shops and other things can be recorded in your name, but not business."
Shops and fields are considered fixed assets. As long as they are not operated by themselves, they are not included.
So after everyone discussed it, they decided to put all the shops under Lao Zhoutou's name. He was the head of the household, so there was no problem in putting them under his name.
When I first bought it, I also used public money, but the investment in the business was different. It was divided at that time. This part has not changed now. It should be everyone's amount.
Just need to add something.
For example, if all the shops were transferred to Lao Zhoutou's name, Zhou Lijun would then sign a lease contract with Lao Zhoutou, and then take it to the Yamen to file it. The business would be hers in name, but they would sign another contract privately at home.
For a good contract, just divide your respective shares well.
The restaurants in the capital and the shops in Yongzhou are all registered under her name. She only bears the name of the restaurant because it is run by Wu Lang and Liu Lang. She also has to sign an employment contract with them, and they draw money from the restaurant every month.
wages...
Zhou Lijun has always been in charge of Yongzhou's shop and facial ointment business, and it won't change now. However, Zhou Lijun doesn't work for nothing. Every year, she can get half a percent more from the shop. It was the same before, so
Not much has changed.
As for the current businesses of Zhou Lang and Zhou Lang, they are all recorded in her name. She has signed employment contracts with them, and the caravan belongs to her.
Regardless of the family separation, these are just existing in different forms. There are not many things that need to be changed. Xiang Mingxue can take care of Zhou Lijun and Zhou Lang to go to the Yamen twice.
But this is tomorrow. Old Zhou was happy to see that his sons were still united. When he was happy, he rarely became generous. "I can't let you take care of these things for free. I will take out a sum of money from the public every year."
Come give it to her."
But how much?
After struggling for a while, Lao Zhou looked at his old wife and said hesitantly: "Give me ten condoms?"
Qian:……
Everyone:......
Zhou Lang felt that his father was too stingy and said, "Dad, can you give me at least two ounces of money a month?"
Old Zhoutou: "What year is that?"
"Twenty-four hangings."
Lao Zhou's face hurt.
Zhou Lijun originally wanted to say no. After all, her business had always been related to her mother's family. She just took on a few extra responsibilities and had to go to the Yamen a few more times a year at most. But seeing her grandfather looking so distressed, she
I immediately stopped objecting.
Lao Zhou moved his body and saw that no one objected, so he could only nod and said: "Okay, that's all."
Xiang Mingxue couldn't help but smile flashing in his eyes. When he and Zhou Lijun returned to their home, he asked, "This money is not much, and you don't have to ask for it, why don't you refuse?"
Zhou Lijun said: "Just take it and use the money to buy something for grandpa later and he will be happy."
Xiang Mingxue smiled and shook his head, "You just like to tease grandpa."
Not long after Zhou Man was released, Zhou Lijun and Xiang Mingxue bought a yard outside and moved out. It was not far away, just over Changqing Lane, not far from Bai Dalang and Bai Shan's yard.
The disadvantage of living by herself is that there are fewer people in the family and she has more things to worry about. Now when she goes out every day, she either takes the child with her, takes it with Xiang Mingxue, or sends it back to Zhou Zhai for her aunts to take care of.
The good thing is that she feels more at ease. She has her own territory within the walls. She can do whatever she wants. Even if she eats in the room at night, no one will bother her.
Xiang Mingxue held her hand and walked back, smiling: "Tomorrow I will go to the county government office with you, but over there in Luojiang County..."
"Take my father with you. I'll sign the paperwork and ask him to bring a steward back. Then they'll know what to do."
Xiang Mingxue thought the same way. After thinking for a while, he said: "It's time for your family to buy some servants. You can take care of this generation, but what about the next generation? Loyal servants need to be raised from an early age."
Not to mention aristocratic families, even ordinary wealthy families will keep loyal servants as backup."
"In addition to servants, relatives can also be used. Does your family have any relatives that can be used?"
Of course there is, there are so many people in Qili Village, but you have to choose carefully. This is a matter of mutual success. It would be bad if resentment arises.
Zhou Lixin and Zhou Liru just came to listen and then went home. Zhou Lixin was living in Zhou's house at this time.
After Guan Xin passed the Ming Dynasty examination, he applied for an official position in the capital. Zhou Lixue and Zhou Ligu were ranked higher in the examination, so they took the official position outside.
