The door opened from inside.
A dark-skinned man in his forties respectfully saluted them with clasped fists: "Sir, madam."
Li Yunze gave him a little help and said, "Uncle Qing, there is no need to be polite."
Ye Yutong took out a few big apples from his satchel and said, "Uncle Qing, these are the apples grown on our mountain. Take them to Aunt Qing to try."
Lin Qing quickly took it and said gratefully: "Thank you, madam."
The two of them went to the dormitory first and took a look around. There were already many people living here. Lin Zhong bought it from outside last year and all of them had a death deed.
The two factories built this time cover a large area.
It was Ye Yutong who asked the cover to be wider. She planned to cover it in place at one time and save trouble in the future.
The factory building is on the north side, and the workers' dormitories and canteen are on the south side, separated by a high wall.
There are guards between the dormitory and the factory. You are not allowed to go to the factory outside of working hours.
The tools for the winery and sugar mill were already ready.
After a while, the carpenters on the mountain will go to Zhuangzi on the other side of Qingzhou City to make looms and tools for papermaking.
"Ping An, let's order another batch of small baskets. They are almost used."
Nowadays, the specialties they sell are packed in exquisite little baskets, which makes the products look more high-end.
Li Yunze nodded, "Okay, I'll order more exquisite ones this time, and I'll make an agreement with the shopkeeper to come over once every two months."
He thought for a while and then said: "Tongtong, we have purchased so many shops and land, who are you going to let manage them?"
Ye Yutong had already thought about this matter.
Here, the people she trusts most are her parents and two brothers.
Uncle Yongchang and Uncle Wencai are also good people, but their abilities are not as good as their father Ye Dafeng.
And she can't entrust all her wealth to outsiders.
It will take at least two or three years for Ping An to reach that position. There cannot be any mistakes in logistical supplies in the past few years.
Although Lin Zhong is also very reliable and has the ability to take care of these things well.
But Uncle Lin owns so many shops and land, as well as branches in various places, that he may not be able to escape.
Ye Yutong said: "Let my father take some people down the mountain after a while.
The shop and Zhuangzi in various places were temporarily under his control, and Zhang Daqian and Dayuan were asked to assist him. The mountain was left to Uncle Yongchang and Uncle Wencai to manage. "
Li Yunze asked her again, "How do you arrange it, second brother?"
"The two of us definitely can't stay at the base all the time. Then the military camp in Dongyang County will be handed over to the second brother and Uncle Lin Zhong."
She originally wanted to transfer Xie Dong down, but there were so many people on the mountain, as well as wineries and sugar factories. Without him, there would probably be trouble.
"Do you think this arrangement is appropriate?"
Li Yunze looked at her and smiled: "That's very appropriate. Then who are you going to let manage the factory here?"
Ye Yutong pondered for a while, "What do you think of Uncle Lei's son? When the time comes, Yan San will be transferred from Dongyang County, and one of them will be in charge of internal sales, and the other will be in charge of external sales."
"Lei Zhenyu?" Li Yunze didn't agree with her suggestion. "He has a strong character and a very upright person, but he is not suitable for managing a factory. I am going to let him go to the military camp to do paperwork."
Ye Yutong nodded and said: "Okay, let Sange Yan work harder. He will take care of the two factories temporarily, and then let Mao Dan and Ye Song come down to assist him."
She admired Yan San's ability in business. He was well-rounded and impeccable, and he was very popular in Dongyang County.
If such a business wizard is used well, she will have a lot less worry in the future.
Mao Dan and Ye Song are thirteen years old this year. They are very clever and eloquent.
Every time there is a debate competition in the valley, the two rarely have opponents, unless they face Ye Mingzhe and Zhang Erqian.
But Zhang Erqian is only eleven years old this year, and that boy's knowledge is the best, and he can be said to have a photographic memory.
He also spoke with witty remarks, a lotus tongue, and quoted classic sentences, one after another. Even Ye Mingzhe was sometimes annoyed by him and couldn't answer the words.
Although Zhang Erqian likes to shake his head when he endorses books, he is not as pedantic as some scholars at all, and his mind is very flexible.
Li Yunze and Ye Yutong were very optimistic about this boy.
Now we are not going to let him do anything else, just let him study hard with a few gentlemen on the mountain.
Li Yunze also made a special statement to Mr. Pei last year, asking him to focus on training Zhang Erqian, and he would reuse Zhang Erqian in the future.
The two of them stayed in Qingshan Town for a day and then went to Dongyang County.
There was a line of people in front of Lin's Liquor Shop, as well as the specialty shop, all clamoring to pay high prices for red wine and sugar.
There is not much wine left in the shop, and sugar has been out of stock for several days.
Last year, she planted half a mountain of sugar cane, but only a few thousand kilograms of sugar was made. She also wanted to keep some of it to make wine, so she couldn't sell much.
And the remaining sugar has to be distributed to shops in various places. There is no other way but to limit it.
Li Yunze and Ye Yutong did not go to the shop, but watched Shitou and Wencai deal with the buyers from a distance.
The two of them have to face this kind of scene every day when they open the door, so they are used to it.
He first apologized to everyone, and then started to talk politely.
When asked if they could increase the dosage, the two felt guilty and helpless, but seemed very sincere.
The servants from various mansions who came to queue had to make reservations first, and then come and pick them up when it was their turn.
After everyone in line had left, the two of them walked over slowly.
Seeing them checking accounts, they stood not far outside the door.
Ye Fengling was calculating accounts in the shop, reading the account book with one hand and dialing the abacus with the other.
Daming and Shitou each sat opposite her with a ledger.
Ye Fengling finished calculating the accounts of the specialty shop and looked at Ye Daming seriously, "Dad, today's account is wrong, there are five copper coins missing."
"Ah, how come there are five copper coins missing? I counted it twice before I came here, right?"
Ye Daming took the account book and calculated it again. After counting the money he handed over again, he suddenly realized.
"When the servant from Shang Mansion came over to buy some specialties today, I gave him five cents in change. I forgot about it when I was doing the accounting."
Ye Fengling frowned and said, "Dad, how could you forget this? Tongtong handed over the shop to you and Uncle Shitou. It was a sign of trust in you. You must do things well."
Although she has given you the right to erase zeros, you must record them in the account after erasing them. Don't forget these anymore, or I will tell Tongtong. "
After saying that, without looking at the two of them, he picked up the account book Shitou handed over and started counting with a straight face.
Shitou and Daming looked at each other and didn't dare to say a word.
This little girl is very strict. If she can't live up to a coin, she will give them both a scolding without any mercy.
There was also a time in Shitou last month when an eldest maid from the Xu Mansion came over to buy dried apples for the young lady.
He knew that this maid was very prestigious in the house. At that time, I took two taels of white sugar and gave it to the maid.
Later, I forgot about it when I was busy and did not pay the account.
She was found out by Ye Fengling when she was doing her accounts at the end of the month. She was scolded by this girl at that time and she said she would not do it again.
Now that Daming has made such a mistake again, it's no wonder that this little girl is showing off to them.
Ye Fengling finished calculating Shitou's account, carefully put the account book away, and said to the two of them seriously:
"Dad, Uncle Shitou, do you know why I am making such a fuss?"
Seeing that the two of them were silent, he continued: "Tongtong entrusted such an important shop to you, and also asked me to come down and take care of the accounts. How much does he trust us?
Therefore, we cannot live up to this trust. Let’s not talk about anything else. This account must be clarified in the future. If something like this happens again, I will definitely report it. "
After hearing this, the two of them nodded repeatedly and said, "Fengling, this is indeed our mistake. We promise not to make it again in the future."
It was true that they were careless. Even if they forgot at the time, they would have to recalculate it before handing over the account.
This is Fengling's accounting. If it were an outsider, they would definitely not be like this, so it is still their own problem.
They all felt a little ashamed and didn't have a good attitude. They really had to change their minds in the future. Otherwise, how could they deserve Tongtong's trust?
