Jianghu I am the only one

Chapter 37 Public and Private

Listening to Chen Yan's explanation, Ouyang Ye first noticed the monthly salary of the Shenmu Gang, which is the monthly basic salary.

Generally, the monthly payment for gang members is one tael, for the leader is twelve taels, and for the hall master is one hundred taels.In addition, the hall master can take [-]% to [-]% of the monthly income of the site he is responsible for protecting. The specific monthly fee seems to depend on whether Ouyang Hu is satisfied with the monthly income of the site.

After the hall master gets the commission, he also has the habit of rewarding his subordinates with some money from his own commission.Chen Yan was very caring, and even wrote down how much money the hall masters gave each month as rewards.

From this account book, the two illegal logging farms that Dongtang is in charge of have the highest monthly income. In the past few months, the minimum income was 1000 taels, and the highest was close to 2000 taels.

With such financial support, and Deng Kui's generous rewards to his brothers, it's no wonder that Brother Dongtang is the most powerful among the three halls.

But Ouyang Ye knew that Ouyang Hu would never allow one of his subordinates to take advantage of it for nothing, so the two sites that Dong Tang was in charge of were probably the most difficult to protect, or the most prone to accidents.

After the East Hall, the monthly income of the two lumberyards in the South Hall, a lumberyard in the West Hall, a woodworking workshop, and two gambling halls in the town is not much different, all around 1000 taels.

As for the brothers in the criminal hall and the team of guards in the guild master's house, they are directly under the command of Ouyang Hu, and Ouyang Hu is responsible for distributing monthly money and rewards.Therefore, although Tan Kang is called the head of the punishment hall, he can only be regarded as the deputy who helps Ouyang Hu manage the affairs of the punishment hall.

In addition to maintaining gang rules, the criminal hall is mainly used as a mobile team to provide timely support after accidents in various logging farms.Later, a daily transaction of collecting protection fees from ordinary merchants in the town was added.

In the end it was Chen Yan.

For the Shenmu Gang, he is not only the partner who initially helped Ouyang Hu establish the Shenmu Gang, the deputy gang leader, but also the big steward who manages the property.

To the outside world, Chen Yan is actually a local gentry in Jitangguan, the second owner and big shopkeeper of Shenmu Trading Company. He is not only responsible for maintaining the timber sales of Shenmu Gang, but also responsible for handling some government-related matters.

What Chen Yan got was [-]% of the total monthly income of the Shenmu Gang after excluding the hall master's commission.

The remaining [-]% belongs to Ouyang Hu, but Ouyang Hu needs to take a considerable part of the [-]% to give monthly money to the gang members, rewards to his brothers in the punishment hall and guards, and some members of the gang. Consumption and expenses are also paid by him.

Then, if there is a balance after the balance of income and expenditure for that month, how much Ouyang Hu wants to take away depends entirely on his will, and he didn't specify the reason, but just recorded a sum in this account.

Therefore, judging from the ledger, Ouyang Hu's monthly income fluctuates greatly, and sometimes even adds money to it.For example, what Chen Yan said, when the bank's monthly balance shows a loss.

After roughly figuring out the profit distribution rules of the Shenmu Gang, Ouyang Ye directly turned to this month's accounts.

It was probably to make it easier for Ouyang Ye to check the accounts. Although there are still a few days before the end of the month, Chen Yan has already completed the monthly settlement.

After looking through it, Ouyang Ye found that if it wasn't for the 3000 taels he got from Tiexianmen's lair yesterday, after sending out Dabi silver as the aftermath expenses, the monthly balance would definitely be a loss.

One is because Ouyang Hu was injured and bedridden for the past three months, so no matter what the three hall masters in East, West, and South were thinking, they were all involved in it, distracting their time and energy.

In this way, the monthly income of various sites naturally dropped a lot.After deducting the 2000% commission of the three hall masters, the total monthly income is only more than [-] taels.

Second, the aftermath expenses that Ouyang Ye decided to send out yesterday reached nearly 3000 taels, plus the more than 1000 two months' money that should have been distributed by the gang leader, the total expenditure this month naturally exceeded the total income.

After looking at it for a while, Ouyang Ye realized that Chen Yan's so-called gang treasury refers to the long-term accumulation of the remaining money after the monthly income and expenditure are evened out, excluding the part that Ouyang Hu took away.

Ouyang Ye took a look and found that even if he added the 1000 taels left over from this month, it was only 8000 taels.

"However, since my father often takes money from this bank, he must have his own small bank. After so many years, I am afraid that the money in my father's small bank has accumulated a lot." Thinking this way in his heart, Ouyang Ye did not Ask Ouyang Hu on the spot.

Seeing that Ouyang Ye seemed to have finished reading the account book, Chen Yan asked, "Does the leader have any doubts about the account?"

Ouyang Ye closed the account book and said directly: "I don't know much about accounts, but I know that the separation of public and private is not conducive to long-term development. Although the gang leader's private finances and gang finances are not mixed together in this account, they are not clearly separated. Click I want to change it."

"How do you want to change it?" Ouyang Hu asked this question.

Chen Yan smiled and looked at Ouyang Ye with interest.

Under the watchful eyes of the two, Ouyang Ye said: "It's very simple. From next month, I, like Uncle Chen, will get a fixed share of the total monthly income, tentatively set at [-]%."

"As for the remaining [-]% of the total income, it can be used as the gang's public expenses. The monthly gang's monthly money and other aspects of gang construction are all paid out of the public expenses. If the public expenses are insufficient, the gang leader's private funds can be used to make up. It must be returned as soon as possible."

"In this way, the public and the private can be kept clean."

Chen Yan didn't speak, but Ouyang Hu closed his eyes and shook his head, saying: "It's not good for you to do this—it's not that it's better to be a father who doesn't know the distinction between public and private. The reason why you don't do that is to let the brothers know that their monthly The money goes from what I get so they know who they're working for."

Ouyang Ye smiled and said, "Father's thinking is indeed reasonable, but how effective will it be? Which is better, good or bad?"

Hearing what Ouyang Ye said, and thinking that some of the Nantang brothers betrayed Tian Yunong, and the Dongtang brothers almost followed Deng Kui's lead, Ouyang Hu's consistent belief could not help but be shaken.

But he still couldn't turn the corner for a while, so he could only say: "It's still very important to win over brothers with kindness and righteousness."

"Father," Ouyang Ye knew that Ouyang Hu was about to be persuaded, so he continued his efforts and said, "I didn't say not to win over the brothers anymore, but to set a better gang rules, and then take money from private property for business reasons." Wouldn't it be better to win people's hearts by rewarding the brothers?"

Ouyang Hu was finally persuaded, and sighed: "Forget it, let's change it as you said."

After sighing, he smiled again—the son's ideas and skills in governing the gang surpassed him, which should be a happy thing.

Seeing that the father and son had settled on this matter, Chen Yan smiled and said, "It's indeed better for the leader to do this. Then from next month, I will keep the accounts according to what the leader said."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yan handed over another account book and said, "This is the monthly account transaction record between the commercial bank and various lumber mills, carpentry workshops, and gambling halls. Please read it, too."

As soon as Ouyang Ye heard it, he knew that the lumber mill, carpentry workshop, and gambling house were like subsidiaries affiliated with Shenmu Trading Company.

However, when he looked through the second ledger, he found that the Shenmu Gang's management of these "subsidiaries" was really rough.

For example, for a lumber mill, the Shenmu Gang will provide manpower and material resources to build it. After completion, the lumber mill will hand over the monthly income to the Shenmu Trading Company for sale.The loggers, from the managers to the lowest-level loggers, basically received dead wages. Only when Ouyang Hu and Chen Yan were satisfied with the income contributed by the logger would they think of giving some rewards.

The management model of woodworking workshops and gambling halls is basically the same.

Therefore, this ledger is almost a record of the salary and bonuses paid to the staff in the various sites below. It is very simple, and Ouyang Ye can probably read it after flipping through it.

Although Ouyang Ye intends to change the management method of the various sites below, he also knows that this matter is not something that can be talked about here, but is prepared to make a decision after an on-site inspection.

So, after closing the second ledger, Ouyang Ye looked at the third and last ledger in Chen Yan's hand.
