Chang Mao's arrangement shocked the Chang family's boss. Originally, he wanted Chang Mao to remember his old relationship and arrange a good escape route for himself.
The Prime Minister of his hometown knew very well that Yang Rong's air landing was arranged by His Majesty. How could Chang Mao openly disobey His Majesty in order to force himself to stay?
Furthermore, compared to Yang Rong, the abilities of his hometown manager were far behind him. Apart from getting an early start, he really had no other advantages.
"master...."
The old man looked at Chang Mao with moved eyes. Chang Mao also had red eyes, patted the old man on the shoulder and said,
"Uncle, you have done a lifetime of service to the Chang family, it's time to rest."
The old man grabbed Chang Mao's arm and was so moved that he couldn't speak for a long time. He couldn't say anything at all. Finally he nodded heavily and said,
"Master, the old slave is leaving now."
The old man looked back three times with each step, his back was hunched, and he looked very pitiful. Chang Mao couldn't bear to look at him anymore. Even Chang Sen, who was eating non-stop next to him, put down the snacks in his hands and watched his old man go.
Lan Yu picked her ears to express her indifference, and then blinked at Yang Rong to indicate that she didn't care.
Yang Rong returned the look and expressed respect for his old manager. He had controlled the Chang Mansion for so long, and his old manager had to work hard despite not having any credit.
Even the other servants in the Chang Mansion noticed what was going on here, and couldn't help but stop one after another, watching the old master leave with respect.
The atmosphere is particularly sad,
"Old Chang..."
Chang Mao murmured, and every moment with Lao Chang flashed through Chang Mao's mind like a revolving lantern. Suddenly Chang Mao thought of something,
"Old Chang, wait a minute!"
The old man stopped and walked to the door to let him wait for a long time. But when he heard Chang Mao's call, the old man rushed to Chang Mao like an old man who got up early to go to the supermarket to grab discounted eggs. in front of me,
"Master, do you have anything else to explain?"
The old housekeeper looked at Yang Rong expectantly. Although Yang Rong was airborne by His Majesty, he didn't say that there can't be two housekeepers in one house. Why don't you give yourself a hard time? Yang Rong is the chief, and you can be the deputy. !
Chang Mao asked, "Old Chang, where is our family's account book?"
Chang Mao thought of this. He had never seen Chang Mansion's account book. He thought that this account book must be in the hands of his hometown manager.
When the old man heard Chang Mao's words, he was not trying to save himself. His eyes dimmed and he replied,
"Master, Chang Mansion never has any account books."
Chang Mao frowned and asked,
"There was never a ledger?! How is this possible?!"
Even if Chang Mao was stunned again and realized something was wrong,
Even a family of three needs to keep track of the expenses and income, let alone a government office. If there is no accounting, who knows how much money the government office has to run in a day?
Lan Yu tightened her clothes and stretched out her big hand to touch the hard object inside her clothes. She felt that the Lan Mansion's account book was still there, and she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. As long as her family was fine.
Hearing Chang Mao's reprimanding tone, the old man's expression turned bitter and he explained,
"Master, this is what the great master means!"
"My dad?!"
"Yes, the elder said, it's useless to remember this stuff. Whoever needs money can just go and get it. If you have money, spend it. If you don't have money, don't spend it.
I have always remembered the great master’s teachings and have been doing so for so many years. "
Chang Mao gritted his teeth and looked at his hometown manager. Hearing this, it was indeed something Chang Yuchun could say.
But could Chang Yuchun be the same at that time as he is now?
Chang Mao thought about it, this is how the government's treasury has been used since he became the Duke, and it has been used for several years. Whoever is short of money will get it, spend it if you have money, and don't spend it if you don't have money... .
No wonder Changfu has always been so poor!
When I think about the previous support for veterans, it is indeed not right. Even if it is very expensive to support veterans, Chang Mao thinks that his salary can almost achieve a balance. It turns out that the root cause is here!
Yang Rong was also a little unable to stand. He never thought that the operation of such a large government palace would be worse than even a small family workshop. Such random expenditures and deductions,
So, how did Changfu survive until now? !
Yang Rong figured out the joints in an instant, and a bit of awe flashed in his eyes. Apart from the mighty Tian En, who could hold up the Chang Mansion?
Changfu was so favored that he was completely different from the other foreign ministers, taking the lead in a sudden manner.
The touching atmosphere changed instantly. The Chang family members reacted and realized that it was the calm before the storm. They lowered their heads and started to get busy again. Even the servants who had no work in hand pretended to be very busy. .
The home manager packed his bags and said hastily,
"Master, I'm leaving then. If you go slower, I won't be able to catch up with the car."
Chang Mao gritted his teeth and looked at his hometown boss. Not to mention the warmth of the past, the current boss Chang has no emotions at all!
I really can’t think about it carefully without an account book. If I think about it carefully, it’s all over. Anyone can withdraw Chang’s money. This is no longer corruption, this is just picking up money!
Then I thought about how Chang Er’s reputation in the capital was so bad that he had previously accused his second brother of using pig skins in the middle of the night. He couldn’t even find a wife. This was also a gift from his hometown boss!
Chang Mao was furious. Anyway, the blame was placed on his hometown slaughterhouse, and his hometown slaughterhouse ran away. Chang Mao said in a deep voice,
"Let the third child go!"
Chang Sen rushed out suddenly. Watching the humanoid black bear charge at him was already scary enough, but Chang Sen was so fast that he was so frightened that the old man's legs shook and he couldn't move any further.
Chang Sen took it out and pulled off the luggage that his hometown boss had been holding tightly. There was a loud crash and countless silver, gold and jade articles fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Lan Yu whistled, not knowing what it meant.
Chang Mao's face turned gloomy to the extreme when he saw this. His hometown manager secretly took so much money before he even went to the cashier's office to withdraw it.
"Old Chang, is this what my father meant? Whoever needs it will get money?!"
The old man froze in place, not knowing how to answer.
It's true, if you think about it from the perspective of the old family chief, the heads of the family you serve are the three brothers of the Chang family. In addition, the eldest master has taught you to take money casually, and the financial power of the government is under your control. It is only a matter of time before the old family chief becomes corrupt.
After all, ordinary people can't resist such a temptation. It's not that His Majesty parachuted in a new housekeeper, the three brothers of the Chang family have never been able to find out about it. They have too much trust in their old housekeeper.
Chang Mao waved his hand in frustration, "Come here! Send me to the official!"
The soldiers of the Chang Mansion came forward, one on the left and the other on the right, and started to slaughter the old man. The old man kicked his legs wildly in anxiety and cried,
"Master, Master! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!"
Chang Mao was a little moved by the shouting. He turned his head and glanced at Lan Yu, wanting his uncle to give him some advice, but Lan Yu shrugged and signaled Chang Mao to do it himself.
