Li Hui experienced the entire incident, and his heart was deeply shaken. This is the suffocating dark world at the moment. If you are not in it, you can't feel the desperate feeling and fear.
The lives of ordinary people are as worthless as grass and ants in the aristocratic and wealthy families.
After the situation gradually calmed down, Li Hui's life returned to normal. He danced to the sound of chickens every morning, and ran for long-distance exercise. Then he went to the South House as an errand to accompany Gu Qian in arranging various affairs.
After Han Yong's death, most of the affairs in the South House fell on Li Hui's shoulders. Although several new stewards were promoted, they were all in the inspection stage and were not yet fully qualified.
In view of Han Yong and others' self-stealing, Gu Qian noticed the chaos in the internal management of the manor and hoped for changes. One day, he discussed this idea with Li Hui, and Li Hui immediately proposed to reform the internal management structure of the manor.
suggestion.
As a person who came from later generations, the disadvantages of the management of the Gu family manor can naturally be seen at a glance. This is an era of personal rule after all, and all problems arise from people. If each manor is regarded as a company or
In the case of enterprises, the stewards of the manor often have arbitrary power, which is where problems arise.
Li Hui's suggestion is actually the simplest basic structure. First, formulate a system. There needs to be a clear set of rules of conduct within the manor. What can and cannot be done must be clear. Everyone must understand the rules and regulations.
Consequences of regulations. With regulations and systems in place, oversights in human governance can be reduced.
Secondly, there is the management system of accounts and materials. It is also the so-called financial system. The income and expenditure of the Gu's manor were previously controlled by the stewards, which made it easier to falsify accounts and embezzle money and materials. Li Hui proposed that the stewards of each manor
He is not allowed to personally take charge of the revenue and expenditure accounts, and this power belongs to Nanzhai.
When it comes to registering materials and accounts in and out of the warehouse, a basic principle should be implemented: manage money without accounting, and manage accounts without paying attention to money. If the accounts do not match the physical goods coming in and out, and the inventory does not match, you will be responsible for it.
The next step is the personnel system. If the steward is left to his own personal interests, it will naturally create a small circle and develop the possibility of concealing and covering up each other. Therefore, the appointment of manor personnel needs to be inspected and qualified by Nanzhao before being appointed. Stewards can be recommended, but cannot be appointed directly.
, this is the most basic personnel principle. In addition, the personnel evaluation is conducted every year. Nanzhai conducts the evaluation privately in an anonymous manner. Those who are incompetent will be exempted as soon as possible after verification. This can also basically ensure that there will be no corpses occupied by vegetarians.
location, brings losses.
Finally, there is the audit system organized by Nanzhai, which conducts inspections from time to time to control the situation.
What Li Hui talked about were some basic management methods, which are not profound knowledge. Compared with the complex subdivision of management methods of companies and enterprises in later generations, these are just child's play. But in the Jin Dynasty, these were enough.
Gu Qian attached great importance to the suggestions put forward by Li Hui and decided to implement them after considering them. He also acted vigorously and resolutely. After making the decision, he immediately ordered Li Hui to promote the matter. Li Hui completed the formulation and promulgation of the system in just a few days.
, Rebuilding the management structure. These are not difficult problems for Li Hui at all. The real difficulty is whether it can be effectively executed during the process.
But what can be seen with the naked eye is that after these measures were announced and implemented, some gratifying changes have occurred in each manor. People's mental outlook and enthusiasm for doing things have changed.
The feedback Gu Qian received after visiting various manors was also very positive, which made Gu Qian very happy.
Gu Qian originally thought that Li Hui was a rare talent, and he was well aware of the help Li Hui had given him over the past few months. Now he found that he had a refreshing approach to managing the farmland, and he was even more impressed with Li Hui.
, the praise is beyond words.
But for Li Hui, he did all this just as a way to repay Gu Qian's kindness to him, and also as a parting gift before leaving the Gu family.
The Zhongzheng review is coming soon, and Gu Qian has already recommended Li Hui in his name, and has also personally visited his friend Lu Na, the Grand Zhongzheng of Wu County. Regardless of the outcome of the Zhongzheng review, at least Gu Qian has not broken his promise.
.
As for Li Hui, he has already thought clearly. No matter whether the Zhongzheng review has the result or not, he will be ready to leave the Gu family. Because he knows very well that he cannot stay in the Gu family for long, because not only has he been involved in
He got involved in the dispute between the South House and the North House, and also learned some secrets that he shouldn't know. This is a big taboo.
It would be fine if he had the strength to protect himself, but in front of the huge family machine of the Gu family, and in the era of the Jin Dynasty where aristocratic families could enjoy privileges and ignore the law, he might become a victim at any time. There was no place to go.
Complaint theory. It seems that life is peaceful now, but life with a knife hanging over your head is scary.
Li Hui thought clearly. After the Zhongzheng review, if there is an opportunity to work as a minor official in another county, even as a master, it is possible. According to Guo Qian, the chance of finding a job is great. Or if it is not possible, he can go back.
Go to Danyang County. Even if you buy some acres of land for farming, it will be much safer and more comfortable than staying at the Gu family.
Moreover, Li Hui has also thought of a way to make a living and make money, which is to make various kinds of seating furniture such as Shougong chairs that have not appeared in the Jin Dynasty. Bamboo chairs, rattan chairs, and rocking chairs can be used. This
The cost of the gadget is not high, but there will definitely be a market. After all, who doesn’t want to sit comfortably instead of having to kneel down and suffer back pain? According to historical trends, it will definitely become mainstream.
One day, when Li Hui returned to the small courtyard from the south house, it was already dark. When he got off the mule cart and walked into his small courtyard, he accidentally looked up and saw a full moon in the sky. Li Hui stopped immediately.
pace.
Counting the days, today is August 15th. In later generations, this was the Mid-Autumn Festival for family reunion. However, the Jin Dynasty did not pay much attention to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and no one went to eat moon cakes and drink realgar wine. Only some places worshiped the moon.
It's just a custom. But for Li Hui, this is an important festival, especially now.
During the short few months of time travel, Li Hui dreamed of his parents, relatives and friends in future generations countless times when he dreamed back at midnight. In previous years, no matter how busy he was during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would reunite with them to play. But now
, living alone in the Jin Dynasty in a different time and space, facing heavy pressures on survival and safety, and living a very difficult life.
The moment he saw the moon, Li Hui was filled with emotions.
The ancients did not see the moon today, but the moon used to shine on the ancients. The same bright moon shines on the past and the present. It should be the same bright moon I see in future generations. But the moon is the moon of that time, and the people under the moon don’t know where they are, and I don’t know where they are.
Can't go back.
That night, Li Hui put a pot of wine on the small table in the yard and asked Chou Gu to make him some noodles as moon cakes. He sat alone in the yard, eating noodles and drinking from the cup.
Gu Lanzhi and Chou Gu stood in the room and watched Li Hui raise his glass to the moon and mumble, feeling both distressed and confused.
"Madam, is it possible that the young man's old illness has relapsed? He is confused again. Do you want to call the doctor to come and take a look?" said the ugly girl.
Gu Lanzhi shook her head and said softly: "It doesn't look like that, but it seems like she is missing someone."
The ugly aunt said: "Could it be that you are thinking about Miss Qingning?"
Gu Lanzhi hurriedly stopped Chou Gu's words and whispered: "You must never say this kind of thing in the future. It will cause trouble. Although Hui'er is no worse than others, she can't reach the master's level. Wouldn't it be dangerous if it spread out?
Are you in trouble? However, Hui'er has indeed grown up, and it's time to arrange a marriage."
The ugly girl nodded and said: "Tomorrow, I will go to Aunt Wang to see if she has any suitable girls for her family. If so, please ask her to hire a matchmaker. Once the young man gets married, he will be stable."
Gu Lanzhi nodded slightly, deeply convinced.
A few days later, Chougu actually invited Mrs. Wang to act as a matchmaker, and also brought several portraits of girls, saying that they were all girls from decent families in Wujun City. Although they were not ladies, they still had the temperament of Xiaojiabiyu.
A good and docile girl. Li Hui is asked to choose a suitable one among them.
Of course Li Hui refused on the spot. Isn't it crazy to get married now when he is only seventeen years old? Moreover, his current situation is not suitable for marriage at all. He can't even protect his mother and ugly aunt, let alone protect him again.
When you get married and have children, there are so many more people that you need to protect. At this time, you must not think about having a family.
Although Gu Lanzhi was a little angry at her son's attitude, she didn't want to force him. She and Chou Gu had to apologize to Aunt Wang and gave her some hard-earned money to send the aggrieved Aunt Wang away. She turned around and looked at herself.
The son sighed with emotion.
One day at the end of August, the weather was crisp and cool. When I got up early, there was already white frost on the ground and roof tiles. It made people suddenly realize that it was late autumn.
Li Hui went to East Lake Manor to do some work in the morning, returned to the south house for dinner at noon, and then went to the small courtyard where the nurse lived to rest. Zhao Dachun and Guo Dazhuang saw Li Hui coming and hurriedly came forward to salute.
Since the last time they fought bravely against Ma Ming and others and regained the stolen food, these two people have been praised a lot by Gu Qian, the owner of the South House. They were originally going to be promoted, but these two are a little short-minded. Don't promote them.
As a reward for a banquet of fine wine and meat, everyone was satisfied after having a meal.
However, some of the five people were promoted. Wu Gang was promoted to the position of head of the nursing home team, which is similar to the position of the security team leader. This was of course due to Li Hui's recommendation. Wu Gang actually performed well that day, and he also suffered a lot.
Minor injuries.
That day, a nurse named Niu Er was very unlucky. He was seriously injured and saved his life, but he is still recovering. That day, two thieves took crossbows and fired hidden arrows. Niu Er did not know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and the five nurses
When the hospital rushed forward, he was alone at the back and running slowly, so he was the best shooting target.
These few are unpopular in the nursing home, and are now considered figures in the South House nursing home. Only six of them, Li Hui, dared to attack someone who carried daggers, bows and arrows more than twice as many as themselves.
The thieves launched an attack and even defeated no one. This was enough reason for the admiration of other guards.
