Chapter 489 The Scorpion Becomes the Prince of Hell
Jia Lian knew that he could make a fortune by digging out rat holes.
But I really didn’t expect that a mountain of gold could be pulled out of the Jia family’s mouse hole.
At the end of the whole day, the house deeds, land deeds, and land deeds that Longer had checked were filled with a box full of bank notes, loan notes, banknotes, half a box of banknotes, and a box and a half of silver ingots and money.
A rough estimate is that it is nearly two million taels of silver.
Not only did Jia Lian get real money, but Jiao Da's reclamation team also received more than 80 strong laborers, which made Jiao Da rub his hands in excitement.
But when Jia Lian said that the wives of these people were going to follow him, Jiao Da grinned again:
"Why are you still taking care of the ladies? They won't work at night if they take care of the ladies."
.
Jia Lian took a look at the remaining roster that had not yet had time to "appear in court", and found that there were still half of them.
However, half of these are servants who work, and the only things they can be greedy for are door bags and gifts. It is estimated that the total is only eight thousand silver.
He will call Jia Yun and ask him to check the rest of the people for him tomorrow.
Jia Yun quickly agreed, but Jia Lian called Xing'er again:
"Brother Yun acts steadily. You can learn from me here tomorrow."
Xing'er understood that Jia Lian asked him to "supervise" here, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud, so he quickly smiled and said:
"Second Master, don't worry. I will learn from Xiaoyun and be more prudent, so that I can do more things for you in the future.
Their crab legs, feet and claws are all meat, not to mention the meat of the Jia family, so naturally they have to be treated as seriously as today."
Jia Lian smiled and said:
"Your mouth is worth a lot of money."
Jia Lian said to Jia Yun again:
"Now we have a total of twenty-seven items such as the prime minister's house, accounting room, bank room, granary, farm, etc. in this mansion. It's really too many.
The purchasing and manufacturing offices were combined into one comprador house, the horse stable and carriages were combined into one carriage house, the kitchen, tea room and pharmacy were combined into one tea room, gold and silver utensils and valuable antiques were combined into one precious room, and so on,
If you merge it again, except for the prime minister's room, the rest will be controlled to twelve.
Make a list of all the original personnel's responsibilities and hand it over to me in three days. According to the current situation, if someone is too busy to do the job, list it out truthfully."
Jia Yun understood that Jia Lian was going to rectify the house, so she did not dare to neglect it and responded repeatedly.
Hear Jia Lian's instructions again:
"In front of the prime minister's office, there are four people: "Lai, Lin, Shan, and Wu". From now on, it will be changed to you, Lin Zhixiao and Shan Daliang. You are the general responsible.
After the re-merger, the three of you will be in charge of four of the twelve rooms. I will allocate the specific duties when the time comes.
In addition, without Wu Xindeng, Long'er was asked to take charge of the accounting room, the comprador house was still handed over to Li Gui, Zhao'er was in charge of the valuables house, Wang'er was in charge of the tea and dining room, and Xing'er was in charge of the carriage and horse house, and he was asked to do more foreign work in the future.
."
.
In just a few words, it is clearly stated that this house will not support idlers in the future.
In just a few words, everyone understood that those who followed Mr. Lian would have meat to eat.
.
Jia Yun responded repeatedly, but Jia Lian over there had already stood up, straightened his back, and said with a smile:
"Don't let the oil pan outside heat up all day long. Let's ask the cook to fry some fruit fritters for everyone to have a snack."
After that, he returned to the back house.
Jia Yun hurriedly ran to see what was going on in Xinqin Courtyard, not daring to delay for a moment.
.
After entering the back house, Jia Lian, who was in a relaxed mood, strolled leisurely and walked through the small flower hall where Tanchun and the others were directors. From a distance, he saw figures walking around inside, and thought to himself:
Things in the inner house are even more complicated. As expected, there are twenty or thirty big things and fifty or sixty small things every day. They will have to find ways to sort them out in the future, otherwise it will be too difficult for Wang Xifeng to manage them in the future.
Just as I was thinking about it, I turned a corner along the road and suddenly I saw someone beside the rocks who seemed to be wiping tears. When I took a closer look, it turned out to be Ping'er.
Ping'er cried?
Who bullied me?
Jia Lian walked over in two steps. Ping'er was wiping away his tears. When he turned around, he was startled by Jia Lian behind him.
Jia Lian quickly supported her:
"Why are you crying? Who bullied you?"
"No."
Ping'er's eyes were still a little red, but he shook his head quickly. When he saw Jia Lian holding his hand, his face suddenly turned red. He panicked and quickly pulled his hand out, whispering:
"Second Master, let go. It's not good for others to see you."
Jia Lian only felt that the little hands in his hands were soft and delicate, and smelled the faint sweet fragrance on her body. Seeing her shy and flustered, it was indescribably heart-warming, and he couldn't help but said with a bad smile:
"If you don't tell me the truth, I won't let go."
Ping'er had to say very quickly:
"It's Miss Bao telling a joke, it's not a big deal."
Baochai’s joke?
What did this god do again?
Not only did Jia Lian not let go, he also put Ping'er's white, soft and fragrant jade hand on his lips, and kissed him gently:
"Don't think about me letting go until you make it clear."
Ping'er's face turned red to the base of her neck, she stamped her feet anxiously, and said in a low voice:
"You will let people see it, my second master."
"Then tell me quickly."
Jia Lian smiled evilly, put Ping'er's hand on the tip of his nose and smelled it.
"It smells very good, like jasmine."
.
Ping'er was forced to have no choice but to say:
"Today, the third girl called me over and said that some frugal measures should be taken in the back house, and she asked me what the second grandma planned.
I said that the Second Grandma had thought of many ways to save money, but as the Second Grandma was a daughter-in-law, many things were not as easy to talk about as a girl.
Miss Bao, who had been looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, came over and touched my face and said, "Open your mouth and let me see what your teeth are and what your tongue is made of. I have been here since I woke up in the morning."
, you say these words in one way. Anyway, when the three girls say the same thing, you will say the same thing. It is always what the third girl wants. Your grandma has thought of it a long time ago. There is nothing that your grandma can't think of.'<
/p>
In front of a room full of people, hold my face and say something about opening your mouth and looking at your teeth. I am not a mule and horse waiting to be bought."
As I spoke, tears came to my eyes again.
Jia Lian frowned:
"You didn't offend her, so there's nothing wrong with her. What are you doing to offend her by saying this?"
Ping'er said aggrievedly:
"She is angry with the Second Grandma, I am just a loser."
Jia Lian saw that Ping'er's eyes were red again and quickly let go of her hand:
"Sooner or later you should go back."
Ping'er shook his head and said:
"No, they should have finished their meal now, and I still have to go in and wait on them."
Ping'er was also a little dissatisfied, so he whispered:
"Miss Bao is always cautious and timid. She doesn't speak out when she's not doing her own business. Nowadays, she's acting very domineeringly.
Now we are having dinner in the small flower hall. Grandma Zhu is facing east, and the third girl is facing west. She is sitting carefree and facing south.
Facing east is the most respected, followed by facing south, third by facing north, and third by facing west.
From the perspective of host and guest, the third girl is a member of the Jia family, and she is a guest of the Jia family. Guests do as the host does, so there is no reason for her to go beyond the third girl?
From a functional point of view, they are running the house for Second Grandma these days. Grandma Zhu and Third Miss are the organizers, and Miss Bao is the co-organizer. There is no reason for her to go beyond the control."
Jia Lian smiled and said:
"I just said you are a sensible person."
Ping'er shook his head and said:
"I am clear-minded in my heart, but I am clear-minded in words like Miss Bao Bao. I understand everything and can explain everything. I am a 'Sister Bao' wherever I go."
"Let's go, I'll go with you to 'serve' and 'understand the king' Sister Bao."
