Sitting leisurely in front of the brazier, he used a thin iron rod to insert a white bun and roasted it carefully. Whenever one side was roasted golden, he would tear it off and stuff it into his mouth and chew it slowly. Then he would turn another side to continue baking. Occasionally, he would tear off a piece and stuff it into Xia He's mouth, which was leaning on the desk table, and he would hold a pen and turn it on the other hand.

After working hard for almost a month, Li Ze finally straightened out everything. He breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the life of a mizuna that was lazy to open his mouth and stretch out his hands.

"Young Master, we have lost 10,000 yuan this winter." After calculating the accounts, Xia He's little face wrinkled into bitter melon skin, and handed the general account to Li Ze, looking heartbroken.

Li Ze did not accept the account book, but just focused on roasting his own steamed buns.

"Have the part added to Yizhou included?"

After hearing Li Ze's words, Xia He became even more angry: "Wang Wenshu is a stingy person, with a total of only 5,000 chunks of wealth. What's the use of?"

"Isn't that just a loss of 5,000 guan?" Li Ze said with a smile.

"Young Master, I mean we will lose 10,000 yuan if we count these 5,000 yuan. It's about to be the Chinese New Year, I guess the young master will have to subsidize a part of the money to let these people have a good New Year, which will cost another big expense." Xia He said angrily.

"I do have this plan!" Li Ze felt a little painful when he heard that he had lost 10,000 yuan this time, but his heart hurt, but he still had to spend money that should be spent. He either didn't do it, and he had to do the best he did, otherwise he would fail for Shan Jiuren.

Xia He dragged a small stool to the brazier, raised his face and said to Li Ze: "Young Master, why don't you give the New Year's Day things you rewarded to those tenants this year, and forward them to those who have just settled down. Anyway, these tenants have taken advantage of the young master over the years, so why can't they live? Without the young master's reward, they can still eat meat and drink wine during the Chinese New Year."

Seeing Xia He's lips dark, the lipstick she had carefully applied in the morning had long been invisible. I don't know when she put the brush in her mouth and made it look like this. However, Xia He was the cutest in this way. Li Ze held back his smile and said, "That's not possible. After years of rules, as long as you haven't reached the end of your life, you can't break the rope."

"That's another big expense!" Xia He looked like a rich miser. "Tu Erye's hard work this winter has been in vain."

"Where is it in vain? We still have some good horses and so many skins, beef tendons?" Li Ze said. "Besides, Xia He, Sheng Mien, Dou Mi Qiu, over the years, we have let these tenants taste a lot of sweetness, and they have become accustomed to it. Suddenly cutting off these rewards will inevitably make people feel resentful. More importantly, if we let them know that the things they should have been transferred to the newcomers, it will cause them to have conflicts with these newcomers. I will use them more in the future and cannot make them feel rifty. If the money is gone, we can still find ways to make money, but this human heart will not be gathered together in a short time."

Xia He nodded with no idea, "Young Master, since you want to win people's hearts, when you place these people, why don't you just transfer the people from us to help them? We have hundreds of hard laborers here. If we join in, we would have finished it. Speaking of which, we are feeling a little unbearable to see the old, weak, women and children working in the wind and snow, all of them are frozen like something."

"Only I can know the precious things I have worked hard to make, and I can cherish them." Li Ze smiled and said, "I can indeed make them settle down more easily, but in this way, they will feel that these things are too simple and they will develop more dependence. This is not possible. Nothing is taken for granted. If they have this feeling, once they are not satisfied, they may rebel for you again. Haven't they turned the other way? If they can make their lives better by rebelling, why not do it a few more times?"

"They still want to rebel?" Xia He widened his eyes.

"Just give an example, you are too sensitive, right?" Li Ze laughed and stuffed a piece of baked steamed bun that had just been torn off from his hand into Xia He's mouth.

Slowly chewing the steamed buns, Xia He suddenly remembered something again.

"Young Master, have you sold your body to you as servants for your son? Then you will also pay them a salary in the future. According to the rules, they are newcomers and can only get the lowest level. But I guess these four people are a bit unusual. What should I do? The son needs to give you a charter. Besides, the son, are these four people really reliable?"

"It is not a very important thing to be reliable." Li Ze said: "Except for a very small number of people who depend on your son and I live together, and share the same honor and disgrace, other people rely on your son and are just related to their interests, such as those tenants, such as Yang Kai, Wang Mingyi and others. So Xia He, you must distinguish this."

"Anyway, I am honoring and disgraceful with the young master." Xia He said: "But when the young master said this, Xia He felt a little unhappy. They ate the young master and drank the young master. The young master made them all look noble. Why can't they have the same heart as the young master?"

Li Ze laughed: "Don't have too high demands on others. Everyone has their own interests and everyone has their own positions. If your young master has the ability and always keeps these interests and appeals tied to me, then they will always be in the same mind as us. If I don't have this ability and they pursue a better life and status for themselves, then we are not qualified to blame others, right?"

Xia He was dull for a while before he said angrily: "Li is this Li, but I feel uncomfortable when I think about it. Humph, young master, otherwise we will test these people and see how loyal they are to the young master. We will give more money to those who are loyal, and those who are unfaithful should be careful in the future."

Li Ze shook his head decisively.

"Xia He, never test people's hearts, don't test human nature, because this cannot withstand temptation. Once this is done, people who have no stranger will have some other thoughts. As the same goes, what we need to do is to try to tie the interests of everyone together, so that they know that the price of betrayal is much greater than the price of loyalty to me, and they will naturally be loyal to me. Let's take the salary of the four brothers Chen Changping as Chen Bing and Chu Sheng's example!"

"Give them this high?" Xia He exclaimed.

"Chen Changping is a capable person. Putting aside his own force, just because he can gather people's hearts is worth my offer of such a price for him. There are more places to use him in the future." Li Ze said.

"After ten years, will the young master really let them go? If he is so capable, he will be afraid that he will know a lot of our secrets in the future?"

"It will take ten years there?" Li Ze smiled and said, "Or in three to five years, the world will change drastically. At that time, they will either fly far away or be devoted to me, so don't think so far! All the four wives and dolls are placed?"

"Of course, this is a hostage. I have all placed women in the workshop, and the dolls are placed in Moxiangju. I have sent people to watch secretly!" Xia He said. "Since they are useful to the young master, they must work hard for the young master."

"The fourth brother of Chen, let them be responsible for the new business for the time being, and then take the opportunity to consciously let them contact some external secrets and come step by step." Li Ze stuffed the last piece of steamed bun into his mouth and chewed, "I am quite optimistic about them. Once things change in the world, they are also a few good cards!"
