Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

Wen Jiao and Daiyu are finally checking the total income and expenditure of the Lin family this year.

This is also a private matter of the Lin family. Although Yinglian and Lu Qing are Wen Jiao's goddaughters, they are actually girls from another family, and Wen Jiao did not bring them to participate in this matter.

The rice, noodles, and charcoal used by the family for a year are basically sent by Zhuangzi. Before coming to Ganzhou, chicken, duck, fish, vegetables and fruits are basically provided by Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing.

Even if I buy some other food from outside, the cost is not much. This item used a total of 750 taels of silver.

The family members (including Lin Haiwenjiao, the three girls, Qingyu, and the tribe members, not counting the gentlemen) have a total of three thousand nine hundred and two taels of silver for a year plus extra rewards.

The annual rules of the three gentlemen and the two nuns, excluding various rituals, total 2000 taels.A total of 420 taels for the four-season rituals to go to the homes of Imperial Physician Jiang and several imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital.

Wen Jiao finished the calculations, then looked at the population booklet, and found that the government has now issued monthly allowances, that is, the total number of servants on errands has exceeded 200, a total of 260 people.

Wen Jiao finished talking about this, and sighed with Daiyu: "The year your father and I first got married, a total of 170 people were distributed. Compared with that year, there are nearly a hundred more people."

"The monthly and annual expenditures this year are more than 3000 taels more than that year. It is true that the larger the population, the greater the cost."

Daiyu laughed and said, "It's good to have many people, and the house is lively when there are many people."

Wen Jiao smiled and nodded, thinking that there are many people in the family now, Daiyu is also accompanied by others, and there are brothers and sisters, so she is no longer alone.It is really good to have more people.

The two of them continued to count down.

Daiyu checked the expenditures for giving gifts to relatives and returning gifts from relatives, and said with a smile: "The gift giving is lively every year. In fact, your family transfers to my family. It's just a meaning."

In addition, the silk, satin and cotton cloth used by the Lin family this year were basically bought by Lin You and Feng Yuan. Only the fur material cost money, a total of 700 taels of silver.

Wen Jiao's conversion means that it costs more than 100 million yuan to buy a family's fur for a year.

...Thinking about the hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars for a piece of clothing in modern "rich families", Wen Jiao felt that the Lin family was one of the most important ministers in the court after all, and the cost was really not much.

There are still some miscellaneous expenses left, such as the cost of raising horses to buy horses, the cost of going to Ganzhou to build cars, the money for buying people, the cost of craftsmen, the money for materials bought when seeing good wood, and shopping. Buy a piece of jewelry, it adds up to 890 six taels.

All expenses add up to 670 taels of silver.This figure is the second highest in the fifth year since Wen Jiao took charge of the Lin family's books.

In the first year, I bought a dozen or so excellent horses, and spent 9000 taels of silver, which raised the annual expenditure.

Wen Jiao stared at this "670 taels" for a long time, and finally converted it into more than 800 million yuan before he felt it was acceptable.

The top [-] "wealthy families" in the country spend about [-] million yuan a year, which is really not much...

And this year there are a lot of extra expenses, such as an extra three months of monthly money for each servant who followed to Ganzhou, the cost of going to Ganzhou, etc., so it seems a lot.

But think about the year when I first managed the Lin family, the Lin family spent more than 3000 taels a year...

When he was in charge of the palace with Empress Su, the money flowed out like water, and the monthly expenses in the palace were more than this amount.

But at that time, no matter how large the number was, it was just a number, and there was no special feeling. 5 taels and 10 taels are paddling water. Wen Jiao handled at most 27 taels of silver.

The money from the public house is not money, but the money from your own family is money, and only when you spend it can you have real feelings.

Wen Jiao put this figure aside, and then checked with Daiyu the annual income of the Lin family.

Then Wen Jiao became more energetic the more he checked!

First of all, it is Lin Hai's salary and silver.

Local high-ranking officials such as governors and governors are paid to support Lianyin.Lin Hai's 6000 taels of Yanglian silver this year has already been put into storage.

Wen Jiao didn't feel that he spent too much money this year!

She smiled at Daiyu and said, "Your father's money for raising money for this year is enough for our family. Just now I thought that the large population would cost a lot, but now I feel more at ease."

Seeing that her family has a lot of income, Daiyu smiled happily and said: "No matter how much you spend, as long as you can make ends meet, it's fine, and when you can't make ends meet, mother will never be too late to worry."

Wen Jiao was taken aback when he heard the words, and then thought that the Lin family is now thriving, Daiyu's life is full of flowers, and she is not very young, so it is normal not to have the sense of urgency in the original book.

She organized the language and taught Daiyu: "As the saying goes, 'plan ahead', it will be too late to plan until the day when you really can't make ends meet."

Daiyu listened to the teaching with an open mind, and asked, "Mother, tell me?"

Wen Jiao first asked her: "Yu'er, what do you think is the main reason for a family to go downhill? What problems will arise?"

This is not a problem for Daiyu, she thought about it for a while and then she was confident, and replied: "The most important thing is that those who have no successors in the family can support the lintel."

"If no one walks in the officialdom, even if there are powerful people in the past, or there are capable people among relatives, they are just watching to scare people."

"If there is no one in the family to support the lintel, one will lose a lot of income. For example, our second uncle's business is under the banner of our relatives. It will be much more convenient to walk around."

"Secondly, there are incompetent people in the family, and the majesty of being the master gradually loses. The people on the upper floor of the Zhuangzi are fooling around. They originally had 1 taels, but they reported 5000 taels to the master. This way, the income will be even less."

"In the past few years, if the master doesn't find out and just muddle along, the subordinates will not see the master's benevolence and stop, they will only get more and more fooled. As for stealing things, they will commit all kinds of crimes, and the family will be over."

Wen Jiao nodded and smiled, "According to what you said, by the time you can't make ends meet, the family has already had deep troubles. That's why I said that it's too late to worry about it at that time."

"In the four or five years since I've been here, I've beaten the people on Zhuangzi three times. Now they don't dare to hide anything, and they hand in all their achievements every year."

"Don't be afraid of losing face by punishing the servants. They are the ones who made mistakes, not us. What's the shame?"

"Your subordinates are human beings, and they all have their own thoughts. The more benevolent you are, the more you will make those who hide traitors in their hearts put their noses on their faces and think you are easy to bully. It is the right way to prevent the small things from happening."

After talking about it once, Wen Jiao saw that Daiyu was thinking, so she let her think about it to her heart's content, and then she went on to calculate the family's income for the year.

Lin Hai’s other salaries, such as candlelight, paper, and silver, add up to 880 taels of silver.

Jiangnan Zhuangzi sold a total of 4000 taels of silver last year, and the rent or profits of shops in various places were handed over more than 8000 taels.

Some of the filial piety of the subordinates were collected, some were confiscated, and there were rewards from the emperor, Queen Su, etc., which added up to 8000 taels of silver.

The more Wen Jiao checked, the happier he was. Lin You and Feng Yuan traveled to the south this year and earned [-] silver when they returned to Beijing. These two people have almost been cultivated.

Calculated in this way, the total income of the Lin family this year: 880 taels.

The total expenditure of Lin Fu this year: 670 taels.

Balance: 210 taels.

After finishing the calculation, Wen Jiao didn't think it was a big expense at all.

In the Rongguo Mansion in the capital, Mrs. Wang finally waited for Zhuangtou to deliver things.

According to the habit of previous years, Zhuangtou will go to Beijing at the end of September and the beginning of October. No matter how slow it is, the end of November will always arrive.

But this year, half of December is almost over, and the Zhuangtou has just arrived, and Mrs. Wang has been waiting anxiously for a long time.

She took the gift list from Zhuangtou, opened it and looked at it roughly, then frowned.

Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun were all beside her. Seeing Mrs. Wang like this, Tanchun approached her, and Mrs. Wang gave her the gift list for the three sisters to see.

The number of chicken, duck, pig, sheep, charcoal, rice and noodles is not much different from last year, only 500 taels of silver came in.

Tanchun looked at Mrs. Wang's face, and said carefully: "Madam, I have seen our family's account ten years ago, and at least one year has sent 500 taels."

"Last year they reported the disaster and only received 6000 taels of silver. Why is this year less than last year, only 500 taels? Could it be that the eight villages in our family were also affected by the disaster this year?"

Mrs. Wang sighed deeply, and reached out to take the list back, read it carefully, and handed it to Zhou Rui's family, and asked her to check and put it into the warehouse.

Tanchun couldn't bear it, and asked again: "Madam, why don't we ask the village head? Just let him lie like this?"

Mrs. Wang opened her eyes and sighed: "In another month, it will be the day when your eldest sister visits relatives. It doesn't mean that the whole capital's eyes are on our house, half of them must be."

"If you punish your own people with great fanfare at this time, isn't it just a joke for outsiders? The brothers of the Wu family are also old people who have served for several lifetimes. Even if they are punished, they must be treated decently."

"Besides, it's cold, it's Chinese New Year, and we're visiting relatives, and the family doesn't have those people. It's not a prosperous family to go to war for a few thousand silver."

Sanchun was silent after hearing this.

After the directors were dismissed, Yingchun was puzzled, so she came to Wang Xifeng's yard to ask her sister-in-law.

In the past two or three years, Yingchun has almost become a frequent visitor to Wang Xifeng's courtyard.

After she entered the door, she played with her three nephews and nieces for a while before telling Wang Xifeng what happened today, and said puzzledly: "Second sister-in-law, although I think what my aunt said is reasonable, but I have been housekeeper for two years, and I know Our family has a lot of expenses and expenses, but the future income is getting less and less every year."

"We've been running short every year, and this year we've built a family-visiting villa. All our savings are going to be used up, and we still owe a lot to relatives. Just 500 taels of silver came in, and our family will spend it all in less than half a year."

"Furthermore, in my opinion, that Zhuangtou has been greedy for money every year, and I don't know how many years he has been greedy, so let's quietly send someone over there, so what's the problem?"

Wang Xifeng listened to Yingchun's narration, and sighed with a smile: "Second sister is really different from before."

She ordered everyone to go out, closed the door tightly, and began to explain Yingchun's doubts: "You only see the greed of the Wu brothers and their family, and you don't see the power elsewhere."

"Our mansion has also existed for seven or eighty years. The servants here are intertwined with relatives and relatives. Everyone has some relationship. Brothers from the Wu family also have several sons and daughters in our mansion."

"Furthermore," Wang Xifeng couldn't help sneering, and Fang continued: "These people in our house, the big housekeepers are greedy, and the little housekeepers are small greedy, even rough envoys can get a little bit of money."

"Think about it carefully, if the Wu family is stolen because of greed for money, wouldn't other corrupt people be afraid? If they all turned against each other, what should they do?"

Yingchun's complexion became darker the more he heard it, and when he heard the last cold sweat, he murmured: "I remember Lai's family is also a beautiful building..."

She grabbed Wang Xifeng's arm and asked, "Sister-in-law, what should we do?"

Wang Xifeng patted her hand reassuringly, and sighed: "If you want to cure the rotten sore, you have to dig out the flesh and remove the bones."

"You are a girl who has not left the cabinet, and I am the daughter-in-law of the younger generation. No one can do this. Second sister, don't worry about it, and you must keep these words in your heart, and don't reveal them to the second person. Otherwise..."

Yingchun pursed her lips and said, "Second sister-in-law, I know how powerful it is."

Wang Xifeng sighed, and said again: "Second sister, let me say a few more words, if you can listen to it, it will be considered my merit."
