Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 296 Second Master Li is also a good at cheating people

Seeing that the Spring Festival is approaching, all the yamen have finally closed their warehouses and yamen - it's the annual holiday!Another important event before the Chinese New Year is the relationship between people, such as New Year gifts, traditional virtues that last for a long time.The New Year ceremony prepared by Jinyu this time is slightly different from last year. In addition to pastries, there are also various snacks: roast duck, fried chicken, stewed eggs, stewed chicken feet, spicy duck neck, spicy duck head, spicy duck belly, spicy duck intestines Wait.These small snacks are basically the only ones in Jinyu, especially the spicy duck neck and so on, which are widely acclaimed.The other thing is the corn plant, except for keeping enough for next year's own use, it is basically a gift from the year, of course, Li Erye's share is the biggest.

Life in Jinjiazhuangzi was getting more and more prosperous, and the nearby landlords were jealous. A while ago, they had been sending messages to Chen Rui, expressing their willingness to spend money to buy some jade and potato seeds, but later they were frightened by the high price.Jin Yu figured that he would guard a Zhuangzi by himself, and if there were no accidents, he would have no worries about eating and drinking in this life, but the supply chain is still unstable, eggs are consumed quickly, and chicken and duck meat cannot be supplied at all, which can only be eaten occasionally The reason for a roast duck.These days, people don’t have much oil and water. For the same price of roast duck and fried chicken, people are more willing to choose roast duck, just because it tastes delicious with a bite of a pack of oil, and fried chicken seems a bit vegetarian, although the cost of fried chicken is higher.

From the perspective of its own business, Jinyu is very happy to build a stable supply chain, so they also have a little bit of sweet potatoes.Now he finally took advantage of the hearts of the surrounding landlords, all kinds of compliments were thrown at Jinyu without hesitation, and no one called him a prodigal anymore.When you are benefited by the "prodigal son", who would think that this kind of behavior is too much?However, Yang Ying has opinions on Jin Yu's behavior: "My husband is so blind and generous, giving up his own benefits to others for nothing."

For this little daughter-in-law who guards the house, Jin Yu couldn't say much harsh words, he could only explain with all his heart: "Didn't I tell you last time? There are only so many of us, and it is impossible to take all the benefits into our hands. Not to mention being filthy, it is still exhausting. From now on, we will only control the link with the highest profit, employ fewer people, and the profit can still be raised, so why not do it?"

"Didn't my husband say that mosquito legs are also meat?" Yang Ying pouted, she understood the reason, but she was entangled in her heart, giving benefits to others for no reason, always feeling uncomfortable.

"Take the mouth of the swallow, cut the iron needle head, scrape the face of the golden Buddha and search carefully, where can I find it. Mosquitoes gouged out the fat, and the feet of egrets chopped off the meat - thanks to the old man! We can't let people say that we are stingy behind our backs." Right?" Jin Yu pinched Yang Ying's little nose, and dotingly said: "Next time there is such a thing, let the wife come forward for the sake of the husband, and let the wife make a good profit, right?"

"I don't mean that by being a concubine. I always use this to laugh at my concubine." Yang Ying was a little embarrassed, she was really selfish in doing that, and earned a good reputation so that Jin Yu could not easily do things that were sorry for him, but now It seems that my husband is very good, even if he accepts Xuanxuan, his love for him will continue unabated, and there is nothing wrong with him.

"Haha, this year's gift to my husband's family should be solid. When sending someone to deliver it, let me know there. We will go over to help prepare some snacks after the new year. The restaurant will be closed for three days. Prepare green vegetables and serve them well for Huaiyu Congratulations to the guests." Jin Yu has always been grateful to the Qin family, and after Qin Huaiyu's wedding, he is going to take care of it, even if the cooks of the Qin family are trained here, but in terms of craftsmanship, it is better for him. What's more, I have refined salt water and kelp concentrated essence?At that time, I guarantee that all the guests will wish to swallow their own tongues.

"Well, I think so too." Yang Ying didn't object this time, "How much congratulations do you think is appropriate for Huaiyu's wedding?"

"You can make up your mind about these things, anyway, you can't do less." Jin Yu didn't have much idea of ​​how many people should follow in favor of people. In later generations, 1000 yuan was enough to follow a person. Now you can try to follow a person with the usual money?Isn't this Chi Guoguo's slap in the face of Mr. Qin?It is unreliable to let diaosi decide how many members to follow, so Jin Yu decided not to participate.

"The husband, don't think that there are too many concubines with you." Yang Ying winked at Jinyu, looking a little mischievous.

"Don't worry, even if you send all the things in the cellar, by this time next year, my husband will have the confidence to earn them again." Jin Yu said confidently, with a very responsible look.As long as the soap workshop is built, the output will definitely only be better than this year.

"The concubine is just waiting to collect the money. If it's not as much as this year, the concubine will... just..." Yang Ying blushed, but she couldn't find a suitable reason for the threat.

"That's it?" Jin Yu continued to tease.

"I won't play with you like Xuanxuan!" Yang Ying waved her small fists, thinking that this reason could be given, she covered her face with her hands after speaking, ashamed to look at her husband's aggressive gaze.

"Haha, this reason is very lethal!" Jin Yu was overjoyed, and pushed Yang Ying's little hand away, "In order to make labor work harder, my husband plans to spend more money this year to give them red envelopes, my lady." Do you have any comments?"

"This is what it should be." Jin Yu's hands were strong, she couldn't struggle, and Jin Yu accepted her fate lightly.However, she is very knowledgeable, even though she knew that there must be a lot of people who want to share with her husband, she agreed without hesitation.

"The monthly profits of ordinary guys for two months, our family's maid nurses also use this ratio, and the shopkeepers take out 2% of the profit they take care of, and the enshrinement also refers to the ratio of the shopkeepers. We have worked hard for a year, one can of oil and ten catties of meat.” Jinyu decided to be a local tyrant. The annual profit rate of [-]% may not seem like much, but it can actually cover the wages of shopkeepers for more than a year. Jinyu provides The technology is originally unique, although they are all small gadgets, but the profit margin is scary, "This time, the lady will distribute the red envelopes to buy people's hearts."

"Okay, listen to my husband." Yang Ying roughly calculated it, and it was indeed quite a lot, which was much higher than last year. The red envelope is not a salary, and how much it is given depends on the owner's intention. Even if other people are jealous, they can't fault it. Come on, at most say a few prodigal sons behind your back.

"Oh, by the way, when my husband benefits the owners of the nearby Zhuangzi, he requires them to build a bathhouse." Jinyu remembered an omission, and planned to ask Yang Ying to assign someone to do it, "I'm worried that they will be passive and sabotage, you Later, add a few rules in the workshop, such as personal tidiness, and then explain the benefits of frequent bathing."

"Is it necessary? Water doesn't cost a lot, but the firewood after a year is not a small amount." Yang Ying hesitated. This is considered a hard apportionment, which is easy to offend people.

"Of course it is necessary. You didn't go to school. The children in our Zhuangzi finally got rid of lice. Playing with the children in Linzhuang, they will get all over again in a few days." Jin Yu patiently analyzed the pros and cons and solved the problem for Yang Ying. The method, "Let's talk about the small workshop you run. If customers find lice on the underwear sold, will they still buy it? We don't force it. Don't come to work if you can't wash it with labor. The owners Well, it’s free for those who are willing to win people’s hearts, and one penny per household per month for those who don’t think it’s too expensive. There are many nearby farmers who work in our house? It’s not much money to let the family take a few baths, right?”

"It's my husband who makes a lot of lies." Yang Ying listened to Jin Yu's analysis and said coquettishly: "Don't worry, my husband, I will definitely handle everything properly."

"I don't worry about your work!" Jin Yu said imitating the tone of the great man.Everyone is willing to accept benefits for others, but when they are asked to pay some obligations, they may be perfunctory, which is the nature of human beings.What Jin Yu asked Yang Ying to do can be regarded as digging a hole, which is not very glorious, but the effect is indeed what most people are willing to accept.

"It's definitely not a good word." Yang Ying didn't like Jin Yu's set, and raised her hand to push him away, "I still want to watch the fireworks like last year, my husband should hurry up and get some out."

"Yes, don't tell me I almost forgot. A while ago, Cheng Huaimo was nagging me every day that his father wanted some." Jin Yu patted his head and forgot about it, hoping there was still time.By the way, this time, let's make some surprises when Qin Huaiyu gets married?I don't know if the horses will be frightened or not.

When Jin Yu was working hard tinkering with gunpowder, Second Master Li had just read the list of New Year gifts sent by Jin Yu. Most of them were food, but there was a lot more food. Except for the jade and potato seeds, there were a lot of green vegetables.The list is very clear, not only me, but everyone in my harem also has green vegetables.Li Erye might think too much about putting other ministers on him, but Jinyu gave him a different feeling, treating everyone equally.

He also read the health and prevention regulations that Xiao Yu handed over some time ago, and they were indeed good. After listening to Li Yifeng's report, Jin Yu took advantage of this time to plant jade potatoes for the surrounding villages, and at the same time asked the owners of the villages to build a bathhouse similar to that of Jinjiazhuang. son.In the eyes of ordinary people, Jin Yu stretched his hand too far, but Li Erye thought that Jin Yu did a good job.

2766
As the emperor, Li Erye, with his literary skills and martial arts, has read many history books. Confucianism advocates cleansing himself, not only mentally, but also physically.The imperial court also encouraged ministers to pay attention to personal hygiene, so they gave a one-day bathing leave every five days, so that everyone could clean up their personal hygiene.But in fact, taking a bath is a troublesome job. In order to wash comfortably a while ago, I even made a special trip to Wentangjian.

Li Erye remembered that the history books once recorded a duet between Emperor Jin and Yuan and his son. Emperor Jin and Yuan washed their hair once, and the prince played to express his congratulations, saying that washing his hair is good for health.Emperor Yuan replied, "I haven't washed it for a long time, and I just washed it when I couldn't stand the smell." The prince replied to his father with concern: After washing for so long, you are not tired, right?Emperor Yuan replied: It's okay, it's very refreshing after washing, and wash more if you have nothing to do.

In the past, Second Master Li took it as a joke. As an emperor, he would be lazy if he didn't take a bath, but he can't help but admire him for being able to obtain this kind of treatment for the common people.Since Jinyu can do it, he can do it too!I was just worried about how to distribute the corn seeds, so I just took advantage of this stubble to reward some counties on Lu Zhengwang's side. The only requirement was to build bathhouses for the common people who planted corn and take regular baths!King Lu Zheng, aren't you buying people's hearts?Keep buying, let you spend more money!

When Jin Yu knew that it was already a year later, he laughed out loud that Second Master Li was narrow-minded and good at tricking people, and this move was like a toad on his instep-don't bite people and disgusting people!
