Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

The workshop was still in good order and everyone was in good spirits. This was Zhou Banxia's first impression when he came here again some time ago.

As usual, I entered the small courtyard in the inner square and took a short rest before listening to Gu Dachang's report on the recent situation. Those who deserve rewards will be rewarded, and those who deserve punishment will be punished?

So far, no one has been let off for a big mistake. Occasionally, someone will make a small mistake and be fined a month's salary according to the rules and regulations, but the mistake will be corrected quickly.

Perhaps it had something to do with the rules and regulations set by the couple. Generally speaking, minor mistakes that were harmless would only result in a monthly fine. However, if they happened too many times and the person refused to change, the problem would become serious. In the case of minor punishments, the person would be kicked out and sold. In particularly serious cases, the person would be sold directly to the mine.

That's why no one dared to test the rules and regulations, or to test her bottom line. After all, in her hands, except for the status of slaves, the benefits were really good.

Zhou Banxia considers himself a good person.

She had said this beforehand. She herself was a maid, and if anyone wanted to be freed from slavery one day and had no record of committing any wrongdoings within ten years, she would release them.

With ten years' time, even if the servants in the key processes were redeemed, there would be nothing to be afraid of. Ten years would be enough capital to deal with the outflow of skills.

This was also because Zhou Molan saw that her young lady was kind-hearted and had to turn a blind eye and obey her, so she didn't want to make an example of her.

Even though her and her husband's eldest son, who was a manager in the capital, did not come with the other managers and village heads this time, she repeatedly reminded him in her letter to him to do his best.

A good master is hard to find.

In this life, she and her husband were members of the Zhou family when they were alive and would be Zhou family ghosts when they died. They never thought about slavery or not, but I'm afraid it will be different for their grandchildren's generation.

He had to give his eldest son constant instructions and warnings, not to mention the other village heads and managers. The chief manager Chang Qing had been very busy these days and did not even go into the back mountain this morning.

Gu Dachang respectfully left, and Zhou Banxia looked through the October income and expenditure accounts, as well as the accounts of several farms, which had been checked by Mai Qing and others.

There is no problem with the accounts, whether it is the cash flow of the workshop or the accounts of several farms. The time is short and he has not become an old hand yet.

If after three to five years the boss is no longer under his supervision, it will be hard to say what will happen. Even with the indenture in hand, it is inevitable that someone will embezzle the money.

With this in mind, Zhou Banxia randomly checked a few more account books and roughly checked the local prices he had inquired about in his mind.

Seeing that there was not much difference, it was the turn of the village heads and stewards who were waiting outside to be reprimanded by the chief steward Chang Qing, and they began to go in one after another to report and respond.

Throughout the whole process, Chang Qing and his wife acted as the good guys and Zhou Banxia acted as the bad guys. There was no need for any prior discussion, and the two sides cooperated so well that even Gu Wenxuan had to feel ashamed.

He still underestimated his wife. It turned out that his wife was not only ahead of others in the sales industry, but also unique in human resources management.

No wonder all the team members she leads are so obedient. It turns out that she doesn’t just rely on bonuses and fists to scare people, the key is her good mouth.

Fortunately, he was timid and never did anything wrong outside. Otherwise, even if he had tricked his wife into getting her, he would have been tricked and sold out long ago. He might have been as foolish as these village managers and still kept showing his loyalty.

Zhou Banxia didn't know for a moment that Gu Wenxuan's inner drama was so rich that he had imagined a scene in which she was ruthless and cold. Now that she had met him, she still had things to do.

What was said had to be done, such as giving rewards to the heads of each village. Mai Huang was waiting to take people down with the keys to the inventory to make arrangements, and Mai Qing was also waiting.

There was no need to check the accounts again, but I still needed to take this opportunity to teach Mai Qing a thing or two about how to do the accounts. It would be easier if I could bring Mai Qing out earlier. Mai Qing was indeed the abacus bead chosen by Auntie Lan to help her with the accounts. Although he was young and didn't know many words, he was extremely talented in arithmetic.

With a little guidance before, her accounting speed has improved significantly. Now, with more time, I can help her check whether there are any false accounts and become the third-in-command of the accounting office.

Just then, after finishing this conversation and putting away the account books, it was time for lunch. Gu Dahua came to inform that the managers of each village were about to leave and that arrangements had been made for their return journey.

Zhou Banxia was not worried about this. At the beginning of this month, except for the Gao Mansion, the Qian Mansion and the Zhao Family would all send managers to transport the goods.

The reason why Gao Fu came to pick up the goods in the second half of this month was probably because it had been almost a year and the dividends were due, and she wanted to pay the dividends a month in advance, at the end of the month.

Even if the village heads and managers did not have the Gao Mansion manager to accompany them on their return journey, the branches of the Qian and Zhao families' businesses alone could provide them with help.

Moreover, to faraway places, such as Yangzhou Prefecture, her aunt had a large dowry, and there was also a steward in Zhoujia Village so they could travel together, so safety would not be a big problem.

It took only the morning to resolve all the issues that needed to be resolved. Logically, after lunch, we should strike while the iron is hot and prepare for the New Year gifts.

However, Zhou Banxia glanced at Gu Wenxuan's half-smile and didn't dare to anger him. He smiled awkwardly and went back to the inner room to take a nap.

"That's good. If you don't think about your own health, you should also consider my daughter. There is nothing that can't be done slowly. There is no need to rush."

"It's early, so be at ease."

"What a joke! There are accounts coming in and out every day, and people dealing with each other every now and then. What's the big deal?" Gu Wenxuan disapproved and increased the force with which he patted her to sleep.

Zhou Banxia said with a smile, "Pat my belly if you can. I just wanted to give instructions on arranging the New Year gifts as soon as possible so that I can move in peace later."

Is it really necessary for you to worry about moving? Gu Wenxuan wanted to say something, but his wife, if he dared to say this, his wife would definitely be more excited.

She would keep in mind things that originally did not require her to worry about, and focus her attention on them as if they were a huge matter. She would not feel at ease unless she thought about them too much.

This kind of personality is commonly known as a hard-working life.

"No hurry, these are all small matters, they are just New Year gifts, I will draw up a gift list tomorrow and give it to you. But you are talking about moving, do you want to go see the new house?"

"You have already given the order, so why should I worry? You are the only one who understands me best. You will definitely arrange it to be to my liking beyond my imagination."

"Thank you for your trust." Gu Wenxuan laughed, "Go to sleep quickly. I'll take you to see it when you wake up. If there's anything missing, I can add it before you move in."

"Okay, you sleep with me for a while. I can fall asleep quickly. It's not that I'm tired, I can fall asleep as soon as I say it. Look, I'm asleep." Zhou Banxia snored playfully.

Gu Wenxuan held back his laughter, pulled up the quilt and closed his eyes. As expected, before he finished reciting an article, his wife fell asleep.

Who would believe that you wouldn’t feel tired after using your brain and mouth for a whole morning?

She still wanted to fight on as usual, not realizing that things were different now, and she was pregnant. (End of this chapter)
