Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

The mother nodded and said, "Mom, I understand. This home belongs to my parents, my brother, me, and my future brothers and sisters. So since the family paid for it, the shop should belong to all of us, right?"

The mother had always known that her daughter was smart, but she had never expected her daughter to be so sensible. She smiled with relief and affirmed Wang Jinyi's statement.

"Mom, can I pay for it myself? I need someone to help me find my shop."

"Do you still want to open a rice shop?"

"Mother, I don't know. How big is the store now? How much is a store like this worth?"

"How much money does Jin'er want to spend to buy the shop?"

"Mother, I have more than 200 taels now. Is it enough to buy a shop?"

The mother only paused for a moment:

"Qing'er, call Ping'er over and ask her to bring the investigation materials for the rice shop."

Soon, Ping'er came into the room carrying a stack of account books.

The mother asked directly:

"Ping'er, have you conducted a detailed investigation into the situation at Taisheng Rice Shop?

"Madam, it was the Cheng family who investigated. It is recorded in this account book. Two servants were employed at the time and the investigation took more than half a month. There was money spent in the account book."

Ping Er took out a piece of paper and handed it to her mother:

“The landlord and boss of Tai Sheng are all merchants that Chengjia knows. The shopkeeper and the clerks all have employment procedures. They were born as good citizens. They changed their business and became good citizens again after they quit.

All three businesses that were operating before this have been checked.

There have been no malicious incidents in the store. The previous few store owners were all legitimate businessmen.

However, this street is a bit quiet and not very crowded, so the previous few stores were not doing very well.

The store that opened lasted a short time, the shortest one was the Tai Sheng Rice Shop I opened before.”

Ping Er opened the account book again, found a piece of paper, and read:

"The current owner of Taisheng, Zhao Chunming is fourteen years old. He is from Zhaojia Village. His family is engaged in farming. His father is a farmer. His eldest brother used to be a slave in the Cheng family for ten years and is now a farmer. His mother used to be a servant in the Cheng family's sewing room. His eldest sister is a maid in the second room of the Wang family. His second sister is two years old...

"

Ping'er continued.

"Okay, how much is the rent for this shop and how much is the selling price?"

Ping'er began to talk again.

Wang Jinyi was impressed. Her mother was both attentive and far-sighted, and her servants were capable. The family had already known the details to such an extent. There was no way there would be loopholes for people to exploit.

Wang Jinyi asked the question that had puzzled him for so long:

"Mother, is there any difference between good citizens and merchants?" As a time traveler, Wang Jinyi really didn't understand the many regulations for good citizens in this world.

The mother stood up and turned back to tell her daughter:

"Farmers among the good people have to pay land tax, commoners have to pay population tax, and merchants have to pay shop tax. Taxes are collected based on your business share. Okay, let someone help you find a shop. I'll tell you again, don't worry."

"Arrange things in your shop so that rewards and punishments are clearly distinguished."

The mother smiled, looked at her daughter, and said:

"Jin'er, we have made a reward and punishment rule. How should we use this rule in our rice shop?"

"Mother, ..."

The mother came back, patted her daughter on the shoulder, and said lovingly, "Jin'er, after we set the rules for rewards and punishments, you should be the first to follow them. You can do well.

Once you get the money, don't be reluctant to spend it. This is the time when people's hearts are most tested. Greed begins with seeking small profits. This is the reason why the Wang family will never enter the market when they establish their own mansion.

I would like to see if my daughter Cheng Hui Niang can escape this fate."

After saying this, the mother gently put her hands around her daughter's shoulders, patted them, then turned around and left with a smile.

Wang Jinyi was very grateful to her mother for thinking highly of her, but she was just an acquaintance after all. How could she get rid of the three vulgarities of greed, anger and ignorance?

Wang Jinyi quickly put his hands together, drew a circle, and made a cross. Then he put his hands together and bowed.

I silently prayed in my heart, all the gods and Buddhas, please forgive me.

Then he called out:

"Zhu Yuqingyu, come in."

As soon as Wang Jinyi finished shouting, Zhu Yu and Qing Yu pushed the door open, walked directly in front of the young lady, and looked at her intently.

In fact, this kind of behavior is an offense to the master and a violation of rules in this era.

But Wang Jinyi didn't care. It wasn't because she wanted to foster rebelliousness in her servants. Rather, from her memory of her previous life, management was not only about distinguishing between superiors and subordinates, but also about giving people reasons to be on the same page with you.

Although just having a physical bond is enough in this era, Wang Jinyi believes that there is something else...

Forget it, let’s verify the reward and punishment system first.

"Qingyu, what is the profit percentage in the past three months?"

"Miss what, what?"

"What I'm saying is that there is a percentage between the income and expenditure every month."

"Miss, what? I don't understand."

"Okay, go ask Ping'er if he knows what percentage is."

Qingyu had question marks in her mind, so she went out to ask Ping'er.

"Zhu Yu, last time you said that the three people from Tai Sheng wanted to exchange their reward for 'Journey to the West'."

"Yes, Miss, yes, the last time Chen Qingyang came to settle the bill, he specifically asked me if I could talk to Miss and ask for some leniency."

"Oh, I see. Go get three copies of Journey to the West and one copy of Ode to a Knight-errant. Since they like reading, give them to them.

All three of them can read. Please remind me to reward them with writing when you have the chance."

"Miss, that's a shame! Oh, yes."

Zhu Yu agreed and left.

Qingyu followed Ping'er in, and Ping'er bowed first, "Miss, you are looking for me."

“Can you calculate percentages?”

"Miss, do you mean the profit value? We always make it a decimal, not a percentage."

Wang Jinyi was surprised at Ping'er's arithmetic ability. Did you see that? As long as you have the ability, you can have a meal in any dynasty, regardless of whether you are a man or a woman.

In the Wang family, the Cheng family, and Yongxing Lane, men and women like this work in the accounting office, and they have no worries about food and accommodation. They can also send money home every month, and such people will be treated well by their families.

Wang Jinyi felt that there were similarities between this person and the accountant he had seen in his previous life.

"Okay, let's calculate the profit for the past three months."

"it's here."

Wang Jinyi looked at a piece of paper with a table showing Tai Sheng's business statistics. This guy, this is too advanced. Ping'er is a talented person.

"Qingyu, you don't have to do the chores in my room when you have nothing to do in the future. Go help Ping'er and learn more."

"Miss, that's what the lady said just now. I was just about to report it to you."

Great minds think alike. That’s great. My mother has thought ahead of me again.

Wang Jinyi nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then asked.

"Qingyu, do you have a red envelope?"

"Miss, what, what is it?"

Ping'er glanced at the servants in the room. They were so unruly and talking nonsense, but she said nothing.

"Ping'er, does Curry have red envelopes for rewarding servants?"

"Miss, are you asking about the red envelopes used for festival gifts? Yes, there are many kinds, with different uses. These are the ones made by the government in the prefecture, with colorful prints."

"If you want to reward a servant with 100 coins, which one should you use?"

"My lady, you can use the purse that is used for rewarding people, which is the purse of Xiuwen in the mansion."

"Okay, Qingyu, go get them. I want three."

Ping'er didn't move and looked at the young lady. Wang Jinyi understood that she was waiting for her master to ask questions.

"Ping'er, do you have any other suggestions?"

"My dear, the ones with our house's mark are for the grandmothers of the house, or for making friends with other houses. If you want to reward servants, it is best not to use this kind."

"Oh? Why, what should I use then?"

"My lady, the ones with the mansion's mark are usually reserved for the mistress of the house. This is a customary rule among the mansions.

Unmarried ladies can use the unmarked purses made by your maid to reward servants.

Miss, please do not leave any marks, otherwise it will ruin your reputation.

Miss, I have said too much. You should ask the lady for advice."

Wang Jinyi had no idea about this and quickly understood:

"Okay, Qingyu, go ask your mother for a try, when there are no outsiders around."

"Yes, ma'am."

Ping Er knelt and bowed.

Qingyu saw it, quickly followed suit and bowed, then hurried out of the house.
