So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

In just two or three days, Shutong, Qingxing, and Fangcao filled out the information about the people in the courtyard and sent it to Xiao Yueshan. Xiao Yueshan divided the affairs of the inner courtyard into three categories: finance, procurement, and housekeeping, and the affairs of the outer courtyard into three categories: concierge, carriages, and security. Each category was further subdivided according to the content of the work, ensuring that the accountants did not manage the money, the money did not manage the people, and the people did not manage the things, and each performed their duties and checked each other.

For example, for the affairs of the inner house, the financial supervisor Xiao Yueshan preferred Chen Mama, who was brought by the original owner's family, to take charge. She had been in charge of the original owner's dowry and the harvest of the fields, so Xiao Yueshan arranged for her to be in charge of the accounts. Under the financial supervisor, there were several small managers for cash and physical objects according to the expenditure categories. Xiao Yueshan wanted to put her accounting skills into practice. When Chen Mama came back, she was going to learn from her and see how to standardize the account management. Shu Tong was the head of the housekeeping department. She was in charge of all the gardening, kitchen, and service staff. She was also in charge of work inspections, performance assessments, and purchasing and distribution personnel. Under the housekeeping department, personnel were placed in the garden, kitchen, hall, study, and inner room. They were not allowed to move around without anything to do. She was also in charge of making a list of things in each room and checking it once a year.

Xiao Yueshan slightly adjusted the current personnel arrangements and the respective division of labor. He also met with the managers of each link one by one, redefined their responsibilities, and instructed Shutong to slowly transition the parts to be adjusted to their preset job arrangements.

Xiao Yueshan had talked with all the housekeepers and the outer courtyard manager. She spoke slowly and even gave people the illusion of being bathed in spring breeze, but in fact, she would not tolerate disobedience. Shu Tong listened from the side and did not expect that his young lady's temper would become so strong after she hit her head. He was secretly amazed.

Since Madam Zhou was in charge of the affairs of the entire mansion, Xiao Yueshan only had to take care of her own yard. Since there were not many people, it would be easy to get started, so she asked Fangcao to teach her how to read the accounts. Purchasing was previously handled by Madam Chen, and Xiao Yueshan was determined to separate this matter and prepare to incorporate the previously neglected warehouse management into purchasing.

Previously, there were few people in the courtyard, so the collection and use of items was relatively casual. When items were spoiled or duplicated, these wealthy families did not take it seriously. But Xiao Yueshan thought it was a waste, so he asked the purchasing manager to be in charge of the items. There were accounts for the purchases and withdrawals, so he could have a clear idea of ​​the situation.

Although Shu Tong received the assignment, he was excited at the thought of helping the young lady share the burden. However, he was afraid that he would be delayed in serving her as he had additional supervisory tasks to do. He was in a dilemma.

Xiao Yueshan saw her dilemma and said directly, "I don't have much to do and can take care of myself. I will feel more at ease if you can look after these people, big and small, for me." Thinking that after the young lady woke up, she would do everything by herself, such as bathing, dressing, eating, etc., without asking anyone to serve her, she thought that she and Qingxing could handle it, so she felt relieved.

"Madam, Madam Chen is back from her inspection of the farm." Shuangxi came in to report. "It just so happens that I wanted to talk to Madam Chen about farm affairs. Please ask her to come back after she has sorted everything out." Xiao Yueshan said with a smile.

"Young Madam, Young Madam, I heard about the Third Young Master's affairs at the farm. The Young Madam was so sad that she almost died. I was so scared! Oh, my darling! Is Young Madam okay?" A middle-aged woman rushed into the room crying and pulled Xiao Yueshan to look left and right.

Xiao Yueshan looked at her awkwardly, guessing that this person was probably Mother Chen. Although she herself was also good at acting, she really didn't like the enthusiasm that went beyond the boundaries, so she just assumed that Mother Chen had a good relationship with the original owner. "I'm fine, I made you worry." She patted Mother Chen's hand and pushed the crying woman away without leaving a trace: "I'm fine now, Mom, get up and answer first."

Mother Chen thought that the young lady was acting very strangely. She was the young lady's wet nurse and had been taking care of her since she was born. The young lady was very dependent on her. After such a big change, the young lady immediately sent someone to call her back. Now that she saw her real self, she didn't cry and fell into her arms, but looked so distant and calm, which really puzzled her.

"Young Madam, what is this?" Mother Chen looked at Shutong who was standing beside her. "Young Madam hurt her head and can't remember much of the past," Shutong reminded her in time. "Mom, you should report back to the inspection of the manor first."

"Yes, Mother Chen, please tell me about the situation on the farm." Xiao Yueshan took a sip of tea and urged politely.

"Replying to Madam, this time we are inspecting the three farms of Wujia, Shiquan and Tianshui that came with your dowry, covering a total of 630 acres of land. Wujia Farm and Shiquan Farm are larger with 260 acres each, while Tianshui Farm is smaller with 110 acres. After this inspection, we found that everything is good on the farms. The seedlings have been planted and are growing well. This year will definitely be a bumper year." Mother Chen responded happily.

"Okay, Mom, you've had a hard time on this trip. I've had some free time these days to look at the accounts. There are some things I don't understand that I have to ask Mom about. What was the per-acre yield of each farm over the years, how many tenants were there, and how was the profits divided in previous years?" Xiao Yueshan asked with a smile, seemingly casually.

"Young lady, you are fine, why are you asking about these trivial matters?" Mother Chen said with a bit of flattery, no longer calling her Madam, but in a more intimate tone, "You are a scholar, don't pollute your ears with these country things."

"What's the matter? Mom is in charge of my dowry farm, and she just went there, but she can't figure out all this. Could it be that she went on an outing?" Xiao Yueshan didn't want to play Tai Chi with Mother Chen. She thought that this old woman just thought that she was as naive and gullible as the original owner, so she had to put some pressure on her seriously.

"Shutong, how do you serve the young lady?" Mother Chen was really unsure about this young lady who had lost her memory. She felt that she had been humiliated by the young lady she nursed in front of these maids, so she immediately pointed the gun at Shutong: "When I came back, I heard that you were in charge of the young lady's household affairs and took the title of 'housekeeping supervisor'. What? I've been away for a few days, and our courtyard is going to be handed over to you? If I'm gone for more time, you'll probably make a scene!"

Xiao Yueshan ignored Chen Mama's indirect criticism. She was not scolding Shutong, but pointing at her nose and scolding her. She thought that Chen Mama was brought by the original owner's family and was to be entrusted with important tasks. She never expected that she was a servant bullying her master. She just asked a few questions casually, but the old woman was so angry. She didn't want to waste too much time with this person. "Mother has sharp ears and eyes, but it's a pity that she uses them in the wrong place." She sneered, "When you went to inspect the farm, you didn't know anything about the farm; you haven't been in the yard for more than ten days, but you know everything about my yard."

She walked past Mother Chen and said to Shuangxi at the door, "Shuangxi, go and ask Manager Deng to come over and ask him to bring some help."

When Mother Chen saw that Xiao Yueshan was serious, she immediately started to throw a tantrum in the hall: "Oh my! The young lady who was raised by my own breasts doesn't believe me! How can I still have the face to live in this mansion! Whatever the young lady wants to ask, I, an old woman, will answer it!"

She kept beating her chest and stamping her feet, unable to stop pounding her chest. "Isn't it just a matter on the farm? The three farms can produce more than 142 shi of grain every year, with a total of tenant farmers! I know it all! What does the young lady want others to do!" While making a fuss, she did not forget to secretly look through her fingers to see Xiao Yueshan's reaction.

Xiao Yueshan no longer wanted to pay attention to Mother Chen. She sipped her tea slowly, waiting for Manager Deng to arrive.
