Chapter 39: The Concubine's Daughter Who Lies by Nature

After receiving the news from Aunt Meng, Shu Jiao realized that this girl was indeed smart.

However, Aunt Meng was in solitary confinement at the moment, so it was of no use for the time being.

The most important thing for her now...

Shu Jiao flipped through the account books in the mansion with her fingertips, thinking casually - Princess Rong is definitely going to take action against her this time!

Princess Rong may not care about who is favored and who is not in this mansion.

But she probably wouldn't tolerate anyone interfering in the household affairs.

Compared with Princess Rong, he absolutely cannot be the one who takes action first.

Otherwise, the original character will easily collapse!

Of course~

If she was worried, she wasn't too worried. The means that women in the harem could use were only a few.

Just be careful.

In fact, her guess was not wrong.

The day after she took charge of the household finances, some people in the mansion stopped obeying her control.

They all pretended to obey but actually disobeyed and acted in a perfunctory manner.

This group of people are probably the die-hard fans of Princess Rong. If Shu Jiao can still keep them in the mansion, it will cause trouble for herself~

Then her surname is not Shu!

So soon, Shu Jiao laid off a group of people, promoted another group, and placed them in the kitchen, garden, front yard... and around the two concubines.

After reading the account books of the palace, he summoned all the managers of the shops in the palace.

Shu Jiao: "How is the store doing these days?"

"Reply to the Concubine."

A chubby shopkeeper said helplessly, "The clothing store has not changed much in the past few years. Although there is some business, the profit is not much."

"My Lady, you know the rice shop. It's a small profit but a large volume, so it's not making much money."

"Our teahouse only makes a little money from the tea, we can't really make much! There are too many teahouses in the capital, and I really can't afford it!"

Listening to the shopkeepers' complaints, Shu Jiao slowly used the tea lid to stir the floating green tea leaves.

"Whoo~"

Just take a breath and the fragrant tea will moisten your throat.

"You all sound tired, right? Have some tea and take a break."

Shu Jiao's lips curled slightly, "The shop can't make money? Sometimes you should look for your own problems. Have you worked hard for so many years? Have you used your brain?"

"The mansion has supported you for so many years, giving you so much money every year. Is it just charity, supporting your whole family and eating for free?"

Her tone wasn't harsh.

It's even quite mild.

But just these words made the shopkeepers feel a chill down their spines.

"My Lady Concubine~"

As soon as one of the shopkeepers opened his mouth to speak, Shu Jiao raised her hand to interrupt him, "I know that some of you really don't make any money, and some of you have other bosses who are here to intimidate me."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of several shopkeepers changed.

"But none of that matters."

Shu Jiao patted the account book beside her gently, "You must understand clearly that your master is the prince, not someone else. Your mission is to make money so that the prince can live a comfortable life."

"How much is your monthly salary?"

Fortunately, there is no such thing as salary confidentiality at this time.

When Shu Jiao asked, they answered honestly.

"One and a half ounces."

"Two taels."

"One and a half ounces..."

"Ha~"

Shu Jiao was made to laugh at them. "It seems the princess isn't very generous either."

One and a half taels~

The monthly salary of a top-ranking maid in the palace is only one or two taels!

Several shopkeepers lowered their heads and exchanged glances, not daring to say a word.

In fact, in their opinion, this or two taels is already quite good.

You have to know that ordinary people only earn two or three taels a year, which is only equivalent to one or two taels of their monthly salary!

Shu Jiao thought for a moment, "I'm not a demanding person. I've read the account books."

"Let's take last month as an example. If the monthly profit in the future can reach the level of last month, the excess will be shared with you 1%."

"If there are an extra hundred taels, you will get one tael. If there are an extra ten thousand taels, you will get a hundred taels."

"This capital city is full of rich people. There are piles of money in front of you. It depends on whether you want it or not."

She made that very clear.

But it is precisely because of this clarity that the shopkeepers are so excited.

Where did they get extra wages in the past? If they did, it was the reward they received when they went to the master to deliver the account books every month.

If you can get five or ten taels, you would be very lucky.

this time……

One hundred taels!

"Gudong~"

Shu Jiao looked at the shopkeepers, their hands were shaking with excitement and their throats were swallowing continuously.

Then Shu Jiao gave them some suggestions.

For example, a clothing store can make use of the celebrity effect and provide high-end customized services, focusing on being considerate, cost-effective and prestigious.

For example, a cosmetics shop can train a few makeup artists and work with a clothing shop to create some beautiful and unique makeup and hair accessories...

Shu Jiao simply modified the services that people had enjoyed in modern times and incorporated them into local characteristics.

The shopkeepers' eyes lit up after hearing this, and they even came up with a lot of ideas on their own.

When the people left, Shu Jiao asked Rouju to give each of them ten taels of silver.

"Thank you, Concubine."

This time, she was called "Empress Concubine" in a much more intimate and respectful way than before.

As for the fact that someone left her courtyard and sneaked into the main courtyard, Shu Jiao didn't care.

Because this time, she had no intention of returning the power of the family to her.

Princess Rong wants to take advantage of her, but she’s afraid she can’t!

……

main courtyard.

After listening to the shopkeeper's report, Princess Rong's face darkened, but she still patiently asked Nian Xia to send the person away.

"boom!"

As soon as the courtyard gate was closed, Princess Rong slammed her palm on the table.

"Princess, what are you doing?"

Nian Xia hurried over and said, "Why are you angry with yourself? The doctor said that getting angry during pregnancy is not good for the baby!"

"Besides, no matter how well the concubine does now, isn't it just making wedding clothes for you?"

Princess Rong agreed with this deeply, but she couldn't help but sigh.

"I thought that the girl from Bright Moon Court only learned some poetry and songs, and some seductive tricks, but I never thought that she is also good at business and housekeeping!"

In fact, when the power of household management was handed over to Shu Jiao, she was not panicked at first.

Because she felt that Shu Jiao, a concubine's daughter, could not have learned how to be a housekeeper, and she would not be able to manage such a huge palace!

By that time, the house will be in a mess, and then she can come forward to clean up the mess and let the prince see that the little vixen he likes can only be a vase beauty.

The one who can truly support the palace depends on her!

Never thought...

The mansion has gradually become stable these days, and the few people who caused trouble have been killed by Shu Jiao as a warning to others.

Now, even the shopkeepers who used to be loyal to her are full of praise for Shu Jiao!

Damn!

"I heard earlier that the concubine was raised by the old marquis' wife."

Nian Xia whispered.

It seems that the old lady of the Kangping Marquis's Mansion really cares about her granddaughter Shu Jiao, and is training her as her principal wife.

Otherwise these things would never be taught!
