MTL - I-Chapter 55 054【Self-reliance】

   Chapter 55 054 [Self-reliance]

   Qin Xin, Jian Dan, and Jiu Po ​​have all changed jobs at this time.

  Because Fei Yinghuan is away all year round, the inheritance of these three titles has been broken, and no new blood will come in.

  Qin Xin changed her original name to Fei Cheng, was assigned to Jing Xing Academy, and is currently working as a library assistant. The three major academies belong to the entire Fei family, so they were not recalled by the Lou family.

  Jian Dan changed his original name to Fei Ze, and was assigned to work in the warehouse at the Ehu Wharf.

  Jiu Po ​​changed back to his original name Fei De, and was assigned to work at the firm at the Ehu Wharf.

  One after another, a total of seventeen domestic slaves returned, including a big shopkeeper, two second shopkeepers, and a trough manager from a paper factory.

  These people are either reserve cadres or already official cadres. They are equivalent to the family business of the Ehu Fei family, which is slowly being handed over to Fei Yinghuan.

  However, Lou chose to give up all of them!

"when!"

  A teacup hit the ground hard, it was torn apart, and the tiles flew around.

  Fei Yuanyi trembled with anger: "What is she trying to do? Is she going to break up the family?"

  The house slaves dared not speak out, for fear of offending the old man.

   Fei Yuanyi had nothing to do except get angry.

  His original plan was just to pick some flaws at random, punish the slaves of Jing Xing Yuan, cut off the financial supply of Jing Xing Yuan, and force his daughter-in-law Lou to take the initiative to admit his mistakes.

   Just like the emperor, he attacked the ministers of the East Palace and refused to distribute supplies to the East Palace, so as to beat the prince and princess.

  Who would have thought that before Fei Yuanyi could make a move, the Lou family would retreat strategically and recall all the slaves back to the house for later use.

  Punching the air with a punch, Fei Yuanyi was so choked up that he wanted to vomit blood!

  The second young master Fei Yingqi came over after hearing the news, pretending to be shocked and said: "Father, I heard that my sister-in-law has removed all the big shopkeepers of Shangming?"

  Fei Yuanyi was still angry, stared at his son and asked, "What, you want to take over?"

   "Don't dare," Fei Yingqi quickly denied, and then sighed, "Sister-in-law's temper is too strong, we are all a family, why can't we talk about it? You have to do it like this."

  Fei Yuanyi sneered and said, "Are you overjoyed?"

  Fei Yingqi said with a bitter face: "The father wronged the child, and the family can be prosperous. If the child is sad, it is too late. How can he be happy?"

   "It's fine if you don't have one." Fei Yuanyi sat down angrily.

  Fei Yingqi began to apply eye drops: "Sister-in-law, can't father take the initiative to give in?"

   "Don't even think about it!"

  Fei Yuanyi angrily slapped the armrest of the top chair, obviously being poked by his son.

Fei Yingqi said: "If you spend it like this according to the child's wishes, you will be unable to support it first. The servants in the sister-in-law's yard cost a lot of money to support, and they simply cut off their monthly allowance. She withdrew all the people and lost all income from the outside, let's see how she feeds so many people!"

   "That's the only way to go," Fei Yuanyi stroked his beard and said, "Shangming has lost its master shopkeeper, so you can take over."

   Fei Yingxi said happily: "The child will be carried first, and when the sister-in-law is relented, she will immediately give up the business."

   "Go away." Fei Yuanyi had a splitting headache, and there was no fuel-efficient lamp at home.

   What is even more troublesome is that among the four sons, only Fei Yinghuan is more prosperous, and now he is the magistrate of a big county, and the whole family will have to rely on Fei Yinghuan in the future.

   The quarrel was so tense, it might be difficult to end it, and there would be another quarrel when Fei Yinghuan came home.

  The only way is to cut off the financial supply and force Lou to bow his head and admit his mistake!

  …

  Jingxingyuan, Zhongqinyuan, all the servants in the family gathered.

   Fei Lin, Ling's couple, together with their son Fei Chun, are kneeling in the courtyard at this moment waiting to be punished.

  Sitting quietly for a while, Lou finally said, "Fei Lin."

   "The little one is here, Madam, please tell me." Fei Lin knelt and crawled forward.

  Mr. Lou said: "You were born as the young master's book boy. You grew up with the young master. You are called master and servant, but you are actually a brother."

   "Don't dare, dare not." Fei Lin kowtowed repeatedly.

  Mr. Lou said: "I don't bother to investigate how much money you have embezzled. I reckoned to take some out and distribute it to the brothers and sisters in the hospital. This matter will be completely exposed. How?"

   Fei Lin said gratefully: "Madam is kind."

  Lou said with a smile: "You are still the chief manager of Jing Xing Yuan, you have to restrain yourself a bit in the future. If I catch you again, I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of the young master's face."

   "I'm sure I won't dare to act foolishly again, and I will obey Madam's orders in everything." Fei Lin kowtowed again frantically, until his forehead bled profusely.

  Mr. Lou ignored this person and said, "Fei Hong, Fei Fu, Fei Xi, Fei You."

   Immediately, four people stepped forward, and the oldest was almost fifty years old.

Mrs. Lou smiled and said: "You have been with the young master for many years, and you can all be on your own. Especially Fei Hong and Fei Fu, one is the big shopkeeper of the company, and the other is the trough manager of the paper mill. Not to mention bonuses and outside water, the monthly salary is about There are twelve taels. Now that you are called back by me, you will lose all your power and wealth, and you may resent me in your heart?"

   "I dare not." The four quickly denied it.

Mrs. Lou said: "I am in Jiujiang. I have hundreds of acres of good land and a few shops, all of which are dowry from my natal family. These years, I have only been taken care of by my natal family, and it has been messed up. Fei Hong, you Bring a few people and go to Jiujiang to take over those shops. Fei You, take a few people and go to Jiujiang to take over the property!"

"yes!"

   Fei Hong and Fei You took orders immediately.

  Lou said: "I have bought a mountain forest at the northwest foot of Ehu Mountain. Fei Fu, if you are asked to open a new paper factory, can you do it?"

   "There must be workers," Fifford replied.

   "Can you dig it?" Lou asked.

   Fei Fu replied: "You can recruit people, but you don't have to dig the workers of the Fei family. There are many paper craftsmen in the Xinzhou government bureau."

  At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court set up the Xishan Official Bureau in Jiangxi, and the largest official paper mill in the country was born. The special product is "Xuande paper".

  Two hundred years later, the Xishan mulberry trees were completely felled, and the imperial court moved the paper mill to Xinzhou, which is very close to Ehu Town.

  The famous rice paper was stolen from Xishan Official Bureau, and it was called "Jing County Paper" at this time. Due to the increasing shortage of raw materials, it was changed to green sandalwood bark mixed with straw, and gradually evolved into Xuan paper in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

   Tang and Song Xuan paper, Xuande paper, Jingxian paper, and Xuan paper are actually four different kinds of paper, which are often confused.

  Mr. Lou did not understand this very well, and asked: "The artisans of the digging bureau, are they willing to come?"

   Fei Fu explained: "Corruption has become common in Xinzhou government bureaus, and official craftsmen have become private slaves. As long as we can afford the price and protect the craftsmen, I am afraid that all the official craftsmen are willing to come."

   "That's good, you can do it." Lou nodded in approval.

  The official paper mill in Xinzhou has long existed in name only.

  The output and quality have declined severely, and the profits have been put into private pockets. When the imperial court needed tribute paper, they colluded with each other, took the opportunity to stir up trouble, disrupted the market with administrative orders, and forced private paper mills in Qianshan County to sell it at a low price.

   Fei Fu reminded: "Madam, if a new paper trough is opened, even if everything goes well, it will take half a year to produce paper. If you want to get high-quality paper, it will take more than a year."

   "It's only one year, I can still afford it!" Lou said confidently.

   Fei Fu cupped his hands and said, "So, the little one is doing his best."

  Mr. Lou said to another slave: "Fei Xi, take a few people to take over the restaurant in Hekou Town."

  The restaurant in Hekou Town was picked up by Fei Yinghuan, and originally belonged to Fei Songnian.

  After Fei Songnian died of anger, 50% of the property was donated to the academy, and 30% of the property was distributed by Fei Yuanlu.

  Among them, the restaurant was taken away by Fei Yinghuan, but the management staff did not move.

   Now that the restaurant is going from bad to worse, Mr. Lou has long wanted to rectify it, so he just took this opportunity to change the management.

  Zhao Han suddenly said: "Madam, I want to ask for an errand."

   "Come on." Lou said with a smile.

  Zhao Han said: "The restaurant in Hekou Town, I want to be the deputy shopkeeper."

  There is only one real shopkeeper, commonly known as the big shopkeeper.

  There can be many deputy shopkeepers, commonly known as the second shopkeeper, the third shopkeeper, and the fourth shopkeeper...they are responsible for different departments.

  Mr. Lou didn't ask too many questions, but only reminded: "You can do things, don't delay your studies."

  Zhao Han said again: "I still need a few more people."

   "Choose it yourself." Lou agreed very simply.

   (I wanted to release it regularly, but I made a mistake. This is the chapter at noon.)
