Although Yunyao is a time traveler, her feelings for the Lu country are very deep. After all, she has always been a Lu country person after time traveling. Although in the New World, the national power of the Lu State is declining day by day and has been surpassed by the Qi State, it is still a familiar country after all, and one cannot watch the people of the Lu State suffer.
Unexpectedly, Guan Zhong gave Yunyao a set of clothes because of her performance.
In this era, although the emperor of Zhou declined, Zhou rituals still existed. People wore whatever clothes they had, and officials had official uniforms. Although managing the female family members is not a serious official, she still has status in the palace, so she can no longer wear the clothes of a cook and has to change.
Change into female official clothes.
Yunyao knew that the female relatives of Guan Zhong's family were difficult to manage. In addition to their large number, another reason was that these women had special identities.
How special is it? As special as you want.
??Some of those sent by other small countries to curry favor with Guan Zhong were the sisters or daughters of their kings. There are also women that Xiaobai snatched from outside during the war and gave them to Guan Zhong to show that he valued Guan Zhong. These women may be other people's wives. That's not all, there are also gifts from Guan Zhong's relatives. These women are all related to Guan Zhong.
Including the dancers, maids, and weavers at home, there are at least three hundred people.
Because Guan Zhong advocated luxury and believed that noble consumption could provide more job opportunities, his mansion was very huge and there were many female dependents. Of course, although Guan Zhong advocated extravagance, he himself was not extravagant enough to make people angry. After all, the entire Qi State's economic strategy was formulated by his leader, so he didn't have that much energy. Therefore, he only has a few favored concubines on weekdays, but the relationships in the backyard are still complicated and the competition is still fierce.
In the past, Yunyao didn't understand what the women who were fighting in the palace thought about, but when she came to Guan Zhong's mansion, she completely understood the reason for the fighting in the palace, which was to survive.
Even though Guan Zhong was very wealthy, the living conditions of most of the concubines in the backyard were not as good as Yunyao, the cook. They had to weave and sew by themselves, feed themselves, and find ways to get supplies from Guan Zhong.
If you have support from your natal family, your life may be better. If you don¡¯t have your natal family, you must participate in palace battles, otherwise life will be too difficult.
Yunyao put on the clothes of a female official and took office. Under the leadership of Nei Zai, she became familiar with some conditions in the backyard. At the same time, she learned about the inner courtyard house specially set up by Guan Zhong for the backyard. The items in the backyard were usually obtained from the inner courtyard mansion.
This time, Yunyao saw the wealth of Qi State and Guan Zhong's wealth. The inner courtyard was full of items from all over the world, including silk, leather, feathers, jade, turtle shells, cultural artifacts, and even a small zoo. , which keeps good horses, cats and dogs.
They are all things that women like, either shiny or furry.
Finally, there are a lot of bamboo slips. Inside is the roster of the female dependents in the backyard, as well as the monthly salary of the female dependents. They are all graded, and Yunyao will pay them out every day in the future.
Of course, there are also overdrafts and arrears of the female family members, which require Yunyao to deduct her monthly salary as appropriate.
Now the key to the inner courtyard is handed over to Yunyao.
Yunyao said that when she was in the fief, she was too lazy to take care of these tasks herself and left them all to Zai. In the fief, Yunyao himself was the boss, but now Guan Zhong is the boss, and Yunyao really has to take care of these things.
Yunyao spent a few days calculating the roster and monthly salary at all levels, secretly knowing that the expenses of Guan Zhong's mansion were not small. This is just the inner courtyard, there is also the outer courtyard.
The outer courtyard is the residence of the scholars, that is, the scholars who came to Guan Zhong to find jobs, that is, talents. These people also had to be raised by Guan Zhong, and there were hundreds of them, but Guan Zhong needed these people to do things. When Chu State was buying deer before, he often sent these scholars to Chu State to build momentum.
The huge daily expenses can be regarded as money flowing down the drain. Fortunately, Guan Zhong is a business genius and can make money.
After taking office, Yunyao first checked the accounts secretly to make sure that the accounts and physical objects were correct. She would not be responsible for the shortfall. The reason why it is secretly is because I am afraid that someone will cause trouble.
After checking the accounts, it was found that there was indeed a deficit, and it was quite large. Yunyao immediately thought of the person who had managed the inner court before, so he went to check it out.
"It turns out she is the cousin of the Prime Minister." Yunyao saw that the name on the roster was 'Hu Si', Guan Zhong's distant cousin and one of Guan Zhong's favorite concubines. She was previously in charge of the management of the Inner Courtyard and all the accounts. She did it all, so it's very possible that she committed the crime.
"Oh, it's true. The backyard is really not that easy to manage." Although she is a generation of 300 women, no one can save money.
Hu Si deliberately made the accounts redundant and fragmented to prevent Yunyao from reconciling the accounts. She thought her account was perfect, but she never thought that Yunyao, who succeeded her, could not only cook.??Also has sufficient management experience.
The question now is what to do with this shortfall, whether to continue it or to get rid of it. Or there is another way, that is to ask Hu Si to return the things.
So Yunyao found Hu Si, a very beautiful woman, but her eyes were wandering, which greatly affected her beauty.
"The Prime Minister of the country has given me great love and ordered me to take charge of the backyard. I took over the key to the inner courtyard, and I feel very heavy. I would like to ask your lady to take charge of the inner courtyard with me."
Hu Si smiled happily. She thought it must be because of the account books she left behind that Yunyao retreated. I was very happy in my heart, but I said: "Since the Prime Minister likes you, there must be something amazing about you, and you will definitely be qualified. If you need my help, just ask, we are all sharing the worries of the Prime Minister."
"There are really some problems with the accounts." Yunyao pretended to be a pig and ate the tiger. She was very modest, but now she compared her own accounts with Hu Si's accounts to create psychological pressure on the other party.
Yunyao had a cute expression on her face as if she had just arrived and wanted to take care of her, but she always pointed out the problems in her account. Hu Si, who was on the side with a fake smile, was sweating on her back, worried that her actions would be exposed.
But Yunyao is just a cook, she can¡¯t possibly understand accounts, and Hu Si has already asked everyone not to help Yunyao, so how can she point out the problem?
¡°It¡¯s a coincidence, or is this woman hiding something secretly?
"You see there are some problems with these accounts, especially the accounts for this batch of clothes. In the past, each piece of clothing used 13 feet of material, but here we used 33 feet. It means that the loss is too much. Also I have taken feathers here many times, three at a time. What are they used for? There are so few feathers. Could it be that someone went in to take feathers as an excuse, but actually took something else?"
Yunyao pointed out the suspicious things in the accounts one by one, and almost pointed at Hu Si's nose and said that her accounts were in deficit.
Hu Si looked at Yunyao and found that she still looked innocent, as if she really didn't understand. This guy must be pretending, she must know everything, otherwise she wouldn't be able to point so accurately.
What does she want to do? Hu Si was frightened. Did Yunyao really sort out the accounts in just three days? How is it possible? Hu Si felt uneasy inside, and cold sweat kept rolling down her forehead.
"Are you hot?" Yunyao still asked innocently.
