Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 133 Letter from the Capital
As for those guys, after all of them were removed from Kong's shop, and each of them received a 20-bill board and a fine of [-] taels of silver, they were all released by Geng Guozhong.

At any rate, no one went to jail. For them, it was also a way to go home with bitterness in their hands after being spanked.

Miss Linglong of Kongmen has been silent for half a year, and when she came out, she caused an uproar in Xianyang, reminding others of all the things that happened in the Kong family. The young master of the Kong family is really not easy to mess with.

After a few days of heated discussions outside, everything in Kong's house seemed to be back to normal, but Kong Linglong seemed to be even busier.

Fu Ling, the medical girl who was in charge of conditioning Kong Linglong's body for the past six months, has become a new maid in the mansion. She has a gentle personality and loves to laugh, which fits her identity as a medical girl very well.

Yu'er is very happy, and she can send the account book to the lady every day, no matter how tired she is, she feels relaxed.Every time she looked up at the towering old trees outside Kong's house, she deeply realized that it would be difficult for such a big house without a backbone.

The only thing Yu'er can't understand is that there are still many shopkeepers who have been with Kong Yaoguang and still stay in Kong's house. She thinks that the lady should eradicate these pests, otherwise what if these pests come back?
Kong Linglong took all the bad debts of the side branches over the past few days and sorted them out again, while answering Yu'er's question: "Kong Yaoguang is right in one point, there are too many side branches, and if there is really no one left to pull out, there is not so much for now." Filled by multiple people."

Yu'er thought it made sense, but she was still a little bit worried: "Then if they take the opportunity to make trouble, won't Miss be even more troublesome?"

Seeing the pile of tents in front of the young lady, Yu'er felt dizzy.Miss is really not easy.

Kong Linglong glanced at the account book next to her, and she ticked off something at the corner of her mouth: "It's okay, these people may not be very loyal to Kong Yaoguang, they are just driven by profit, and some of them have good business talents, so they can be fully utilized .”

The real beneficial punishment is to squeeze the last drop of oil and water from the villain.It's better than just blowing away, just like what they did to Kong Zhai before.

Kong Linglong put aside the account books she had read: "I have read a lot of account books in the past six months when I have nothing to do, and now I am just re-filtering the details. The old guys have left enough mess, but they want to make more money for themselves. The people arranged in the store are also considered capable, and it would be great if these managers can stay."

As soon as she heard it, she knew that the lady was going to work again, but Yu'er felt a little happy. She was really satisfied to be able to stay with the lady all the time.

"It only took Miss Kong half a month to calm down the chaos in her shop. Now the business of the Kong family is not only not affected, but it is getting better and better." The old lady answered in front of her.

Mrs. Liu closed her eyes and rested on the chair, "Having hibernated for half a year, just to break the situation today, choose not to be an enemy of this girl, and the Liu family is on the right track."

The man was surprised: "The old lady also thinks that Miss Kong's family has actually done it on purpose for the past six months?"

Although Kong Linglong handled this matter beautifully, it also makes people mistakenly think that the side branches have been caught in a trap, but it takes half a year to plan, and the risk is too great. In the past six months, Kong Linglong has obtained the power of the Kong family by means of this method. Could it be that Kong Linglong could have predicted it in advance?

Mrs. Liu opened her eyes, she was still alive: "I only know that any underestimation of that girl will become a mistake, and you should all be counted."

Now that the old lady opened the golden mouth, the man didn't say anything more, just bowed his head and admitted it.

The rumors outside are basically the same as Mrs. Liu thought. The main reason is that many of the things Kong Linglong did before are so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Set up a bureau to rectify the side branches, and the others are 1 believers.

What's more, for those who witnessed everything at the gate of Kong's house that day, the abhorrentness of the offshoots also set off the justice of Kong Linglong's actions. If the offshoots of the Kong family weren't so odious, why did the county magistrate Geng Guozhong go out?
As a result, no one went to investigate what Kong Linglong had done in the past six months, tacitly acquiescing that it was the Kong family's side branch that was unlucky.

Shopkeeper Chen of the Kongshantang felt a little dazed when he saw the Young Master again after half a year.

"Uncle Chen." Kong Linglong yelled with a smile.

Shopkeeper Chen almost burst into tears, "Seeing that the young master is safe, I am relieved."

Shopkeeper Chen was most worried about Kong Linglong's manpower in the past six months.

Kong Linglong naturally knew the sincerity of these words, and a warm current flowed through her heart: "I made Uncle Chen worry. I called Uncle Chen today because I wanted to talk about the shop."

Shopkeeper Chen hurriedly said: "I've already brought half a year's account books, so you can go through it if you're young."

As expected of the loyal shopkeeper Chen, even if Kong Linglong didn't want it, he would take the initiative to hand over the account books.It's completely different from those shopkeepers who evade and feel guilty when they hear the ledger.

Kong Linglong became more and more satisfied. She smiled and said to Shopkeeper Chen, "I am assured of Uncle Chen's account books. Today is not about Kong Shantang. I have a request, and I hope Uncle Chen can help."

Shopkeeper Chen was startled: "Young Master, you can't say that. If there is an order, just say it, and there is no way to help."

Kong Linglong paused, and then said: "Then I'll just say it straight, I've already fired the shopkeeper in Beixiang, the store there has been in a mess for five years, and the management of the staff is also a mess. I can rest assured only when a very reliable shopkeeper sits in the past."

Shopkeeper Chen's face became more and more surprised: "Young Master is..."

Kong Linglong nodded: "I prefer Uncle Chen, but I don't know what Uncle Chen wants?"

Shopkeeper Chen pondered for a moment, looked at Kong Linglong and said, "Young master will obey the order, Chen has no objection, but Kong Shantang, what is the young master's plan?"

There are dozens of employees in Kong Shantang, all of whom have followed shopkeeper Chen's skillful skills for many years. If a new shopkeeper is sent there, people's hearts may fluctuate.

Kong Linglong smiled and said: "Uncle Chen, don't worry, you are still the big shopkeeper of Kong Shantang. Uncle Chen just used to be the shopkeeper of the shop on the north alley. When the situation there stabilized, a suitable person was selected to succeed the shopkeeper. , Uncle Chen still wants to return to Kong Shan Tang.”

Kong Shantang is now more than just three words. To a certain extent, no matter who goes to Kong Shantang to get medicine, or the decades-old buddies inside, they all recognize shopkeeper Chen. Shopkeeper Chen is already a The live signboard of Kong Shan Tang.Such a person, even if others wanted to replace him, Kong Linglong would still not agree.

Shopkeeper Chen's eyes fell on the smiling face of Master Shao, and he felt a slight warmth in his heart, but he was always a man of rules, and said: "Master Master, this person is also the shopkeeper of two families. There has never been a precedent. With mediocre recognition ability, I'm afraid I will disappoint the young master's intentions."

Kong Linglong said: "There is no precedent. I just set this example here. Kong Shantang has a solid foundation now, and the deputy shopkeeper that Uncle Chen single-handedly selected is even more capable. For the time being, Uncle Chen will be distracted to manage the new shop. It won't affect Kong Shantang. Also, those who can do more work."

Hearing that Kong Linglong praised him for being able to work harder, shopkeeper Chen felt a little red in the face, no longer embarrassed to refuse, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Young master, don't worry, I will definitely do my best."

Kong Linglong was also in a good mood after one matter was resolved. Uncle Chen was an old shopkeeper for decades, and she had nothing to worry about if he was in charge if he was capable.

In the afternoon, Kong Linglong counted several shops one after another. The most ruthless thing was not to replace the shopkeepers. For those shops that had lost money and could not be filled, Kong Linglong directly ordered the shops to close.Immediately, dozens of large and small shops of the Confucian family were closed, which caused quite a commotion in the city.
The closed shops were rented out by Kong Linglong to merchants at a low price, and commissions were drawn from them to subsidize the holes. Then, she changed all the shops that could not be rented out into temporary porridge shops. Even the merchants were unwilling to rent. After opening the porridge shop, the popularity was immediately attracted, and it became lively within a few days.

When they went to the business, they all admired Miss Kong's way of managing the family. None of these methods could be easily thought of by them, but Kong Linglong's ingenious schemes were almost constant, and the rectification of so many half-dead shops was booming.

Originally there were side branches of the family who were crying and grabbing land, blocking the entrance of the Confucian residence and not wanting the shop to be taken back. Seeing this situation, those people no longer had the face to cry at the entrance of the Confucian residence, and now they even pretended to be pitiful. No one cares about them anymore.

The shop under Pangzhi's hands was losing money year after year, and they raved about how unmanageable the shop was. Kong Linglong managed to make money in just a few days, and even slapped Pangzhi in the face severely.Those who cried harder before had more swollen faces, which really made people feel happy.

The servants of Kong Zhai felt that half a year of hard work was worth it, and they would be willing to let them suffer another humiliation as long as the eldest lady continued to act like this.

March is approaching, and Kuai Ma brought a letter.

Yu'er handed the letter to Kong Linglong with some heaviness, and said, "Miss, Second Uncle Liao from the capital has written again."

During these days, I don't know why, as long as the letter comes from the capital, it is not good news.

Under Yu'er's gaze, Kong Linglong opened the letter and read it slowly, then she put the letter on the stone table, tapped the letter with her finger, and said: "Xianyang is temporarily settled, but recently, The shops in the capital are not very stable."

This letter is an overview of the situation of the Kong family’s shops by the merchants in the capital. Basically, the situation of each shop is not optimistic. Some money at a loss, if someone else's shop was so fixed, it would have closed down a long time ago.

That's right, judging from the description in the letter, there is no doubt that the Kong family's shop in the capital has been punished.

Yu'er endured it, and asked: "Miss, is our shop in the capital very popular?"

Only those who are young will be beaten, unless the Kong family's business threatens other people, and it is still in the capital, it is easy to provoke people who cannot be provoked.It's rare that Yu'er, a maid, also understands these principles.

Kong Linglong shook her head, "I've read all the account books. Our shop is not that big. At least in the capital, it's not enough to make people jealous. Someone did this on purpose."
