Red Mansion: I am Jia Lian

Chapter 194 The beginning of running a family
Jia Lian's suggestion this time was recognized by all the cabinet elders. Even Li Qing and Liang Daoyuan did not say a word "no". The ancients said that people's words can be feared. This is probably the earliest explanation of the war of public opinion.

Humans are social animals, especially people in ancient times. Living in cities is better, but in rural areas it is difficult for individuals to survive without the crowd. Putting aside human organization and cooperation, human beings cannot become the overlord of the earth in competition.

Public opinion is often about who has the loudest voice. After all, no matter how good your idea is, it still needs to be understood and recognized.

Traditional word of mouth, official newspapers, and private postings are all essentially modes of communication.

The newspaper created by Jia Lian had an advantage at the beginning, and the opponent was unable to fight back, but the threshold for this thing is too low. If I can't do it, why can't you learn your tricks? When the advantages of the initial free competition phase no longer exist, it is time to resort to administrative measures.

For example, the trade war, bah, I’m off topic.

With lightning speed, the cabinet quickly passed a regulation on the management of newspapers. Yes, it is a management regulation. This term was used when Jia Lian suggested it. After Zhang Tingen copied it, the cabinet directly copied it. There is a new department under the name of the Ministry of Etiquette, with a high level, the fifth rank, Public Opinion Department. The biggest difference in this department is the addition of an eunuch supervisor.

The function of this department is simple, managing publications around the world.

There are too many specific regulations that can be summarized in one sentence. You can have the freedom to speak, and I also have corresponding departments to shut you up, including physical means.

The first official task of the new department was to take Lieutenant Long to various newspapers.

Using Jia Lian's method to clean up the Jia family's running accounts would be bloody with just one blow.

When it comes to accounting specifically, it can only be said that Jia Lian is asking for trouble. Wang Xifeng asked Lin Zhixiao to lead a team to check the accounts, but no problems were found.

The forms are all ready-made, and this is what is used by the Ministry of Household Affairs now. Mr. Jia often brings them home when he is working for public benefit.

Not every newspaper is willing to give in. Of course, the new department is not unkind. The deadline is ten days. If you don't handle it after the deadline, the Dragon Guard will come and ban you. The Public Opinion Department does not have a violent organization, and Long Jinwei has many people who are not on duty. These people were not willing to endure hardship before, but now they are happy to go to work.

Combining kindness with power is the way of stewardship. What is grace? Don't blame the past as a favor, but authority is to set the rules. If the accounts in the future are so confusing and unclear, don't blame Wang Xifeng for being ruthless.

Jia Lian was not surprised when he saw this result. After all, where had he come from? Five hundred taels of silver each for a Longjing Lieutenant quota, what happened to the majesty? This also requires a process, and civilized law enforcement will not be achieved overnight.

Naturally, Jia's mother was very reluctant to leave, saying that Lin Ruhai was not in the capital, and there was no need for Jia Min to go back to live in the Lin family's house. There are no elders in the Lin family's house in the capital, and Jia Min has the final say in everything. Why go back and live a lonely life. He also said that as he got older, he saw less and less people, and kept wiping his tears as he spoke.

At this moment, Jia Min was talking to Jia's mother. The implication was that Jia Lian's marriage was completed and she should go back to live with the Lin family.

Every migrant worker dreams of being a boss. Regardless of talent, the rare thing is that you have to have start-up capital.

When Jia Lian learned about it, he sneered: "How could there be no problem at all? Call Lin Zhixiao."

Jia Min was moved and agreed not to leave in a hurry, but to write a letter to Lin Ruhai and follow his arrangements.

In short, we need to set a threshold first. Are you familiar with this threshold?

Management fees, so many people in the new department need to eat, and deposits. If the newspaper violates the regulations, the deposit will be confiscated directly.

It took a day to find out so many errors and omissions that Jia Lian didn't even notice.

It will no longer be possible to run your own newspaper in the future. If you are interested, the Public Opinion Department will work on-site to complete the registration and provide one-stop service for a fee.

Oh, this is the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there is no shortage of powerful men in the capital to show up as street tigers, so that's okay.

After spending three days thoroughly sorting out the accounts of Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng went to see Jia Mu.

There are two charges, one is management fee and the other is deposit.

After studying for two more years, Sister Feng got into the mood faster after taking over the housekeeping job. The main reason is that Jia Lian is behind the scenes. He takes inventory first and then checks the accounts. If he finds any problems, he should not make it public. Just tell his mother quietly. It depends on the attitude of the old man.

Wang Xifeng was so angry that she was one size bigger and kept cursing. If it weren't for Jia Lian's persuasion to save face for Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, the matter would have been a big deal. You can't just have your new daughter-in-law upset the house as soon as she comes in, right?
How to deal with the future is the key, and Jia Lian gave a series of ideas.

In front of the form, on-site teaching, what goes in must come out. Using the simplest principle, tell Lin Zhixiao that you should be careful when you are responsible for accounting in the future. This is what I taught you.

When Wang Xifeng came in, the mother and daughter were crying. Seeing this, they couldn't say anything. After hesitating for a long time, they still said what they wanted in front of Jia Min and followed Jia Lian's instructions.

The general meaning is that Jia's mother gave her the important task, and now she spent some time to completely reorganize the warehouse and accounts. All past accounts are packed and stored, and future accounts have separate specifications. Wang Xifeng didn't say a word about the confusion in the past accounts. All she said was that for the convenience of the housekeeper, she asked Jia Lian to help with the new accounts.

Jia Mu, who had perfected her palace fighting skills, immediately understood what Wang Xifeng meant. She held her hand happily and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Jia Min sneered at the side. Before she got married, she fought with Mrs. Wang a lot about the housekeeper, and the door was clear.

Jia Min took the new account and looked at it carefully. The categories were clear and clear at a glance. How much cash is there, how much various materials are there, and what is their condition. How many people there are, how much monthly expenses are there, the incomings and outgoings, and compared with each other, it is clear at a glance.

Jia Min looked at it and said with a smile: "This is a good idea. It was indeed the number one scholar who came up with it."

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "It's not a new thing. It's based on the four-column accounting method of the Ministry of Revenue. According to the second master, it's called the double-entry accounting method. I don't have much education, but thanks to your patience, I taught you bit by bit. "

Jia Min praised: "Lian'er is indeed rare, and it is also rare among men." What he said was the attitude towards women.

Even if Lin Ruhai had a good relationship with her husband, she would not treat her daughter-in-law like Jia Lian. When a man is busy outside, he doesn't have the energy to take care of things when he comes home. He just acts like a hands-off uncle.

Wang Xifeng's attitude won Jia Mu's full support. In the past, she was worried that she would make a fuss if she found problems after entering the house, but in the end she didn't even mention them. Everyone at the top and bottom felt at ease. I don't know whether they remembered Wang Xifeng in their hearts, but we can't count on humanity. That’s why there is a saying that all past accounts are packed and saved.

Please be careful. Just because the accounts from the past have not been settled does not mean they are over.

After Mrs. Wang found out, her mood was extremely complicated. Wang Xifeng's skill was so good that almost overnight, the young Wang Xifeng's prestige rose. The expected scene of aunt and nephew cooperating and helping each other did not appear. Wang Xifeng didn't inform anyone about the whole process, and only announced it after it was done.

What made Mrs. Wang even more uncomfortable was yet to come. Jia Lian, the dog-headed military advisor, gave Wang Xifeng another idea.

Wang Xifeng sat in the main hall and called the stewards of the family one by one without saying a word. She just sat there and looked at each other for a quarter of an hour, then sent them away and replaced them. At the end of the day, when Wang Xifeng went out again the next day, the stewards started running over to greet her from eight feet away.

I checked the accounts, but I didn’t do anything. The old accounts are sealed and can be opened at any time.

With this combination of punches, Wang Xifeng had greater control over Jia's back house.

Regarding this, Wang Xifeng said to Ping'er in private: "Young men still have a way, why don't you say you want to study." While talking, Wang Xifeng also touched his belly, hoping that there would be results as soon as possible.

It is said that Wang Xifeng came back from Jia Mu's house that day. Lai Wang was waiting at the gate of the courtyard. When he saw her, he stepped forward to greet her and said, "Hello, Second Grandma."

Wang Xifeng, who was in a good mood, nodded and said, "Is something wrong?"

Lai Wang said: "I beg my second grandma to arrange something for my son to do."

As Wang Xifeng's dowry, Lai Wang's status is not high, but it is not low either. Every day, he would walk outside and help with the sundries. Later, he would be in charge of the loan business and become Zui Jingang Ni Er's contact person.

Loan sharking is a very normal operation for powerful families. Don't make a fuss.

At this time, Wang Xifeng had not evolved to the level of soliciting lawsuits. She just arranged to come to Wang'er to see if there was any demand outside.

"Well, it's a small matter. What do you think?" Wang Xifeng is still nice to his own people and has a good attitude.

Lai Wang said: "I see there are a few people waiting for you, Second Master. Can you please add an errand boy?"

These words made Wang Xifeng hesitate instinctively. It was very attractive to arrange people around Jia Lian. But this man is not an ordinary person. The people in his family who trust him are the group of murderous generals. He always takes a few of them with him wherever he goes, not to mention that his eldest son is also the son of the leader of the family. Although Jia Lian treats Wang Xifeng very well, it is actually Jia Lian who makes the decision.

Lai Wang made the request because he was sure that Wang Xifeng would be tempted.

In this regard, Wang Xifeng took a firm hand and did not take over everything. Instead, she asked Lai Wang to go back first while she thought about it.

Wang Xifeng turned around and asked Ping'er, "Is this okay?"

Ping'er sneered: "For the sake of Lai Wang, it's better to let him have a longer memory, so as not to know how he died one day."

Wang Xifeng then went to the study to see Jia Lian. When he entered the door, he saw that he was the only one inside. After looking around, he stepped forward and spoke: "Why one? How come there are so few people waiting around? How do the people below do things? There are no rules at all. ”

Jia Lian put down the pen in his hand and said calmly: "I was writing something and needed to be quiet, so I sent away the cinnamon."

There is a rule in this study. Only three people can come in. Guixiang and Ping'er are responsible for daily cleaning of the study, and Wang Xifeng. Whether there will be an increase in the future is a matter for the future.

Wang Xifeng must get used to some things and not do anything special.

Wang Xifeng stepped forward and touched the teacup. It was still warm. She immediately smiled and said, "It's my fault for delaying my work."

Jia Lian activated his skill [Sweet Talk] and said, "I see you are in a good mood all day long, so how can I delay doing things? If I can't see you, I will be in a bad mood and have no intention of doing things."

The little girl couldn't bear this, her heart melted and flowed.

Come forward and touch each other's foreheads, it will be clear and sunny now. Wang Xifeng has not evolved to that level yet. After all, she is the mistress, so she must be dignified! After some intimacy, Wang Xifeng talked about Wang.

Jia Lian thought for a moment and said, "Ordinarily, if you open your mouth, I should promise you. It's just that the current situation in the DPRK is so turbulent that it would be embarrassing if the people around you can only run errands. Everyday at home, I have you around me, as well as Ping Ping. Son and Guixiang, I can call on you if I need something. I was once injured in an assassination. I hope you can understand that it is not difficult to add someone. It is not good to add someone who is unavailable and delays things. "

Wang Xifeng understood. The boy who came to Wang's house was only eight or nine years old. What could he do? It's nothing more than running errands when you go out.

In daily life at home, the people around Jia Lian are all women, and there is no need for servants.

The key is that when at home, Jia Lian is not in the habit of taking several people with him. He only has one or two maids around him at most, and rarely takes care of a servant.

"Well, I was wrong." Wang Xifeng took the initiative to admit that she didn't think carefully, but Jia Lian hugged her waist and sat on her legs and said, "Why did I think wrong? You were thinking about me, how could I not know ? You did a great job today. If you have any questions, tell me. I can appreciate your concern. "

The autumn tiger is raging, and it will soon become hot and dry.

Wang Xifeng felt the danger and jumped up quickly and said: "Wait until it gets dark, wait until it gets dark. I still have to go out to meet people."

Jia Lian was not disappointed either. Wang Xifeng in the original work was a lady, with a fierce personality and a conservative person.

"Go tell Lai Wang, it's not that I don't like his boy, please don't think too much about it." Jia Lian said very thoughtfully.

After Wang Xifeng went out, she said to Ping'er with emotion: "Second Master is really reasonable."

Ping'er just sighed silently in his heart and felt deeply sad for Lai Wang.

Turning around, Ping'er saw [the visitor to Wang's house] and asked her to go to a quiet place to talk. After all, we came here together and Ping'er was kind-hearted.

[The person from Laiwang's house] heard the advice and quickly went to find Laiwang. After meeting, he made some remarks. After hearing this, Laiwang's expression suddenly changed and he said: "That's wrong, that's wrong. I just wanted to please the second grandma. I forgot about it." Don’t rub sand in Erye’s eyes.”

[The visitor to Wang's house] suddenly panicked and said, "Then what should we do?"

Lai Wang said: "Didn't Ping'er say that? I'll go and plead guilty to the second master."

When Jia Lian went out for a walk after dinner, he "ran into" Lai Wang and [Lai Wang's family].

We all live in the same compound, and we really can't see each other when we look up.

Jia Lian looked at Lai Wang and his wife meaningfully. The two came forward and knelt down. Jia Lian said nothing and watched their performance.

Lai Wang said: "For the sake of my son's future, I have the courage to come to Second Grandma. It's not disrespectful to Second Master. It's just that I'm new here and I'm not familiar with Second Master, so I don't dare to be presumptuous."

Jia Lian did not ask the two of them to get up, but asked gently, "Has your boy ever studied?"

Laiwang and his wife looked at each other and said, "The Jia family only accepts children from the clan, and the younger ones are from the family."

Jia Lian thought for a while and said: "You still have to read books, and it's good to know a few words. Get up."
