Xuanmen's mother-in-law was read in her mind, and the whole family got rich by eating melons

Chapter 183 A slap

"Tell me about it." Meng Tan put down the account book and flipped through another account book, which was Zhuangzi's old account book.

She leaned down and looked at the chair that looked like it was made of huanghuali wood.

It feels smooth to the touch, but the only drawback is that it's stiff and doesn't sit comfortably on it.

On that side, Wu Dahu had already started to fool her.

"Daxian bought Qingzhuang because he probably wanted to continue the business of harvesting night incense. The people who collect night incense and fertilize it are very particular. Not to mention the waste of manpower and material resources, the smell is overwhelming. After a long time, it is Even the food is tasteless. The Great Immortal is a busy man and must not have time to take care of all these things."

"In this case, we need to find a reliable steward. I wonder if the Great Immortal can choose one?"

"Of course it's you, Wu Da. You are the steward of this village. You know the things here better than I do. Of course, I can rest assured if I leave it to you."

Wu Dahu glanced at Meng Tan and found that Meng Tan didn't seem to notice anything wrong, and he felt a bit of contempt in his heart.

Sure enough, she is just a woman, no matter how great an immortal she is, it is easy to fool her.

Wu Da's mind changed and he had two more thoughts. He asked, "Does the job of collecting night incense in the city also be given to Xiao Xiao?"

"You were in charge before?"

"Of course that's not the case. We only take care of the nearby households. However, I heard that the steward responsible for collecting night incense in the city followed Mr. Fang in. I thought, since I am familiar with him, there is no need to trouble the immortal to find him again."

"Okay, is there anything else?" Meng Tan raised the corners of his lips and glanced at Wu Dahu meaningfully.

"Also, we used to pay accounts every six months, and every six months, we would deduct a hundred taels from the account to give rewards and principal to the people below."

"One hundred taels in half a year?"

Meng Tan laughed angrily, "Are there forty people in Zhuangzi in total?"

"One person can't give so much for one tael. Besides, I heard that collecting night incense from the rich man in front requires money."

"This retting requires buying medicine from a Taoist priest, so the cost is naturally high."

Wu Dahu responded with a smile.

Meng Tan's face darkened, "Who are you going to sell this fertilizer to?"

"Of course, the surrounding farmers and a few gentry and landlord households also need it. The money sold by both sides is almost the same, but the gentry and landlord households want less."

Wu Dahu told the truth honestly. He felt something was wrong after he said it, but he was not afraid in his heart. This great immortal used to be a peasant woman, could she still understand the information revealed in his words?

"That means the surrounding farmers are the main buyers in the village. I dare you to ask if the cost of retting fertilizer is so high. Did those farmers lose all their money to buy a load of manure?"

Wu Dahu's face turned pale, and he calmly said: "The Immortal doesn't know something. Zhuangzi not only makes manure needed by farmers, but also makes soil and fertilizer for planting flowers and fruit trees. The flowers and fruits grown by this big family are all precious things, and the medicine used is natural." It’s also a precious commodity, so the principal is a little more expensive.”

"If the Immortal doesn't want to do these miscellaneous businesses, just thirty or fifty taels for half a year will be enough."

But I was murmuring in my heart, it turns out that she was born as a peasant woman and cares about money so much.

Qidao has never been able to make a fortune before. If you are so stingy and don't give the people below you a piece of cake, who will work for you?

"Look, these thirty or fifty taels are not necessary. You just need to collect enough principal for one year at a time. For the rest, you can make an account and come to me. I will give you what you should give." Meng Tan lost the account book. , it is true that there is corruption everywhere, but here it is okay, and there is no oppression to the point where the tenants in Zhuangzi cannot survive.

She can also understand this. No one is perfect and they all have to support their families.

As soon as she said this, as expected, the faces of everyone present turned livid, showing their dissatisfaction with her.

Meng Tandang didn't see it and continued: "In the future, you will report the accounts once a month and go out to collect night incense. Don't accept money from others. Oh, take the group of people I brought with you and learn how to collect night incense." , call that Uncle Li, call that one Li Dazhu, and ask him to be responsible for collecting it in the city. You can still take care of Zhuangzi's affairs. "

Now, not to mention their livid faces, the dissatisfaction of the group of people in front of them was directly reflected on their faces.

"Great Immortal, if you act like this, it will be a problem for the brothers below to eat and drink. We are not the only ones who collect the night incense. Everyone else collects money, but we don't collect it. We will be put in sacks when we go to work!"

Meng Tan understood what this meant, which was to disrupt the market, but Shen Jinzhu also told her that they didn't accept it in the past, and I don't know when it started to rise.

"In our business, the more people there are, the more we make. Many families in this town don't have money in their pockets brought by strong winds. I heard that you lose money every penny, but for families with many households, the sky will stop them falling in one day." once?"

"Whenever you open this business, one day you think you can make money quickly, will you increase the amount? Two cents at a time? Three cents at a time?"

This is a vicious cycle. Meng Tan wants to develop for a long time, to support so many believers, and to give these people the ability to live and work.

Wu Dahu and others were quite dissatisfied, "Great Immortal, collecting night incense is hard work and smells bad. What's wrong with collecting some money? They can find a place to collect it themselves if they can!"

Meng Tan snorted, "In the beginning, when you confiscated the money, you probably collected more night incense than you do now, right?"

"There won't be any Wangzhuang suddenly popping up. Presumably, the Wangzhuang didn't charge money at the beginning, so that it could occupy a place."

After saying that, Meng Tan saw that the faces of these people were all disapproving, only the faces of dead people who had been robbed of their benefits.

"...This matter naturally depends on what the Immortal says and what we do." Wu Dahu's face had a perfunctory look.

Anyway, Zhuangzi gave it to him. Since the brothers could not get any benefit from it, he would make up for it elsewhere.

He can't control things outside Zhuangzi, but he can still control things inside Zhuangzi.

Seeing this, Meng Tan thought for a moment and realized that she was the only one who would benefit from doing this. Wu Dahu and others were just workers, so naturally they liked to do more with less.

Who cares whether she can develop in the long run?

Meng Tan curled up her lips, this was easy to solve, but she still had to provoke these people, lest she would become exhausted mentally and physically if she made too many small moves in the future.

"Oh, by the way, let Li Dazhu and others learn from Zhuangzi about fertilizing, so as not to overwork you."

boom!
Meng Tan was startled by the sudden sound.

Looking up, Wu Dahu, with an ugly face, threw away the account book in his hand. Meng Tan raised his eyebrows. How could this sentence be so lethal?

Wu Dahu changed his behavior like Xiao Fudi before and spat at her, "Sure enough, this woman is causing trouble. It's okay if you don't accept the money from those people who sell Yexiang. Now you want to ruin our brother's job and learn our skills. This is forcing us to die."

"We quit. Now, we want to redeem ourselves!"

"Yes, that's right, we quit!"
