    Wen Wan talked about this matter with Xia Yao: "There are too many tricks in giving porridge in the porridge. It is often revealed that the porridge given by many people is old rice mixed with sand or something, or the servants are lining their own pockets. To do good deeds is to  You should do it with your heart, not just for fame and reputation. Look, those who think that giving rice porridge for a few days, paving a few roads, and building a few bridges are good deeds.  Others don't know. The roads and bridges are obviously still good, but they are constantly being renovated and repaired every year. As a result, it affects passers-by's ability to walk.  They are not doing any good deeds, but they are just trying to gain a reputation.¡±

    Xia Yao smiled and said: "If everyone was as caring as the princess and sincerely helped those in need, there would be no hypocrites in the world." Only honest people like the princess used royal charity.  Hall.  Not only did he help people, but he also earned reputation for the royal family.  It took a long time for Xia Yao to finally understand why the county chief named it after the Royal Charity Hall.  The more people you help, the greater the royal benefit.  So there is no taboo.

    Wen Wan shook his head: "What I have done is just superficial. The only way to achieve a harmonious society is the emperor's uncle. What the emperor's uncle has done over the years is a great kindness." In these years, the emperor has lightened taxes and encouraged reclamation.  Wasteland, water conservancy projects were built, and people's lives became better and better.  At least Wen Wan hasn't heard of people running out of food anywhere.  Although the emperor has only been on the throne for seven years, now the people live and work in peace and contentment and the country is getting stronger. This is a great good.  Compared with the emperor, what she did was nothing more than drizzle.

    Xia Yao and Xia Ying laughed.  Wenwan has saved countless people over the years.  But I never take credit for it.  I always thought that I just did what I could.  Only a truly selfless person can be so open and aboveboard.

    Wenwan put aside the matters in the general's mansion for the time being.  It's because I'm seizing the opportunity.  Also take advantage of this gap.  Check the list obtained from the General's Mansion again.  There may be some omissions or personal feelings mixed in.  I found out that 90% of the dishes on the list are delicious and lazy.

    Wen Wan has never cared much about the affairs of the General's Mansion, just letting it go.  She originally felt that having so many people in the general's mansion was a waste of rations.  Keep a house.  Where do we need hundreds of people?  Dealing with people just because there is no reason, the reputation is ugly after all.  Now, just waiting for things to come to your door.

    To act, naturally a gap is needed.  And this gap.  Came up quickly.  Two women were fighting in the general's mansion.  The husbands of these two women had fought with Bai Shinian.  Relying on this relationship, I always feel that I should get a better job.  Get greater benefits.

    Wen Wan asked Xia Tian to go and inquire in person.  Wen Wan's intention was obvious, asking Xia Tian to investigate the matter seriously, as she wanted to lay off employees.

    Xia Tian is not weird at all.  I think back then, when the princess first came out to join the family, she streamlined the people even further.  One person has to do the work of two people, but he doesn't want to support someone who doesn't work.  This made everyone in the princess's mansion very nervous, and they were all very enthusiastic about their work, and no one was lazy.  For fear of being betrayed by the princess.  Let's not talk about the far ones, let's talk about the nearby ones. Now there is no one in the princess's mansion who is free to eat.  Everyone has a full schedule of errands. There is no time for you to be lazy. If you are lazy, you will not be able to complete the errands.  But because it was properly arranged.  The monthly profit is higher than other mansions, and there are several days of rest a month.  Even when he was sick, a doctor came to see him, and everyone was still very enthusiastic.  In the princess's mansion.  There are absolutely no complaints.  Just like this time, everyone will work and eat more abundantly than before, and their monthly income will be several percent higher by the end of the month.

    Xia Tian knew that layoffs would happen sooner or later.  There is no owner in the general's mansion, but there are about a hundred people living there.  So much money is spread out every month.  That is not the style of the princess.  No, layoffs will begin.  However, the princess's ability to tolerate people in the general's mansion for one year is already the maximum limit.  Xia Tian also has a pattern in his behavior.

    Xia Tian, ??the son of Butler Feng, came to interrogate him personally and knew that this matter was probably not good.  As expected, Xia Tian took action.  There were fights, complaints, errands, and all kinds of things were discovered.  But the servants in the General's Mansion tried to bite, shirk, and pocket everything.  Xia Tian didn't do anything.  Just let people record it.

    Butler Feng knew that the princess was planning to rectify the general's mansion.  Butler Feng broke into a cold sweat when he thought about Wen Wan's principles of action.  Sure enough, Wen Wan summoned him the next day.

    Butler Feng went to the princess's mansion uneasily.  This is Butler Feng's first time in the princess's mansion.  Although it was the first month of the year, I arrived at the gentle garden, looked at the flowers in the yard, and entered the main hall, where many flowers were also placed.  It looks like spring.

    The decoration in the main hall is very unique, and there are no luxury items such as gold, silver, pearls and jade.  But it doesn't look shabby at all.  Apart from anything else, Butler Feng took a look at the three-legged gilt cloisonn¨¦ enamel smoker, which was also engraved with "Simple pattern.  You know it's worth a lot of money.  Butler Feng had seen something similar to this thing in the old lady's house before. It was said to be an antique from the previous dynasty and was priceless.

    Butler Feng waited for a long time before Wen Wan came out.  Wen Wan sat in the upper position and said in a calm voice: "The big housekeeper said that there was a lot of resentment in the general's mansion because I wanted them to make cotton-padded jackets. Moreover, in the past, when doing errands, they would always push each other. This is not the first time that everyone has fought.  "Why haven't I heard of it this year?" Wen Wan asked Madam to take charge of the General's Mansion. That was all an excuse.  When the mistress of the house is here, how can she let outsiders take care of her?  The real person in charge is Wen Wan, and the person in charge is Butler Feng.

    Wen Wan was not angry, and her voice was very calm, but with such calm words, Butler Feng began to sweat on his forehead.  He knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "It's all because of your lack of discipline. Please punish me, Princess."

    Wen Wan was not angry: "Take a look at this. If there is anything wrong, correct it!" The maid next to her handed Butler Feng a thick notebook.

    Butler Feng took it and read it. After reading only a few pages, he was frightened.  It was sweating just now, but now all the sweat beads on his forehead are rolling down.  The notebook records who fought with whom and who argued with whom in the general's mansion.  These are still small things, the most frightening thing is at the back.  Some people in the mansion used the name of the general's mansion to do business with people outside.  It's just a legitimate business, and many people even engage in illegal activities.  Some even used the General's Mansion to rob fertile farmland and ruin the reputation of the General's Mansion.  Butler Feng knew about the fights and other incidents in the mansion, and he also dealt with them in a low-key manner.  But Butler Feng really doesn't know about the things outside.  If I knew, I would never tolerate it like this.

    Wen Wan said calmly: "Don't tell me whether to apologize or not. You are the housekeeper in the general's mansion. You don't know much about things outside the mansion. That's because the general is not in the capital, and you don't have that many resources.  , It¡¯s impossible to check them one by one. I don¡¯t know why. But the general¡¯s house is also in such a mess. This is your fault. I just asked them to make some cotton jackets and trousers, and they dared to complain.  Money feeds them, and they also breed hatred. Forget it, let¡¯s not talk too much. Tell us how to deal with these people.¡±

    No matter how dull Butler Feng is, he still knows that Wen Wan is really going to assign these people.  He didn't dare to make up his mind: "Please show me, Princess." Wen Wan told him what to do, and he did it.  I no longer dare to plead for mercy for these people.  Otherwise, even he would be involved.

    Wen Wan didn't waste her words: "There are more than a hundred people in the general's mansion, but there is not a single master in the mansion. What are you doing to support so many people? Before, it was because you were worried that there were many old servants in the mansion, and many of them were from  Those who came down from the battlefield followed the general, and later came to join him after the war. I just hope that these people can live well as long as they stay in the mansion. But now I still have this little food.  I don't want to waste any words anymore. Let all the people on the list be released, including their families. I don't want any money from selling myself. I will give them this grace.  I will give you an extra one hundred taels of silver. This is the most benevolent thing." If it weren't for the sake of reputation, I would beat all those who ruined the reputation of the General's Mansion to death.  After driving them all out of the general's mansion.

    Seeing that Butler Feng was silent, Wen Wan said coldly: "You can't even handle this little thing well." If you can't handle it well, just change the housekeeper.  It¡¯s not like no one is available.

    Butler Feng was just frightened.  There are quite a few people on this list. Let them all be released. Most of the people in the mansion must be released.  Half of the people released were those who had followed the general to the battlefield: "Princess Princess, there are many people here there are many people above who followed the general into ecstasy. If they were released now, it would make people  I think the general is ruthless and unintentional.¡±

    Wen Wan snorted coldly: "Who said those bastard words? They live and die for the court, not for the general. I don't want to listen to your nonsense anymore. Just tell me if you can do it well. If you can't do it well, I will  Don't force it. "Wen Wan has never been willing to support idle people. I work hard to make money to support you uncles and aunts, but when it comes to it, I am picky and dislike the work.  It¡¯s good to be tired, go wherever you fall in love.  As for why Bai Shinian was born and died, these people were not generals.  When he retired from the army, it was not like the imperial court did not give him any appeasement policies.  I went to Bai Shinian not because I wanted to have a good future.  There is nothing wrong with this, but if you want to find a good future, you must at least have a good attitude.  Such an attitude will definitely breed enemies when the time comes.

    With Wen Wan¡¯s budget, there were only thirty people left in the entire General¡¯s Mansion to be responsible for cleaning.  I meant it gently, but there was someone in her mansion anyway.  Even if Bai Shinian comes back, he will basically live in her princess mansion.  It¡¯s great, we¡¯ll just add more people when the time comes.

    How dare Butler Feng say anything.  Naturally, I agreed to handle the matter properly.  (To be continued)
