Chapter 28 Let her help us make money
In fact, what Nichang was talking about was the modern pension system, but Jiang Jiu perfectly copied it to Mudan and others.
If the eight concubines including Mudan do not rely on men to live in the mansion, they can only rely on children. Even if they give birth to a daughter, their livelihood will be guaranteed.
In this way, eight women will inevitably compete for one man in Lu Yunyang.
However, the contract signed by Jiang Jiu and them suddenly broke this backing.
In addition to ensuring that they had something to do and earned money every month, Jiang Jiu also opened an account for each of them in a bank. The money in this account could only be deposited but not withdrawn.
When they are older and don’t want to work to earn money anymore, we tell them the ATM password so that they can spend enough money every month to live on.
So when they get old, even if they don't have children or men, they can still live a good life with money.
half a lifetime.
However, Jiang Jiu did not tell Lu Yunyang about this system.
Maybe it's because she thinks it's unnecessary, or maybe it's because she thinks it's private.
And the eight concubines did not tell Lu Yunyang.
This is how Jiang Jiu controlled people's hearts.
After hearing about this system, even Lu Yunyang had to admire it.
"Amazing! I didn't expect her to come up with such an idea. This method is much gentler than violence and more reliable than selling one's body. It's not easy to betray, unless she gives more money than them. But no one knows how much money they can get when they are old."
Nichang nodded: "Yes, the more you work, the more you get. She also set up year-end bonuses, dividend bonuses, ranking rewards, etc. Until the end, I'm afraid even she herself doesn't know how much money she can save."
Precisely because it is unknown, it is not easy to buy people's hearts with money.
Now he finally understood why the eight concubines ignored Lu Yunyang and served Jiang Jiu instead.
Lu Yunyang's eyes were deep and he looked down at her: "Nichang, Chang Mingyuan's concubine's surname is Jiang, and Jiang Jiu's surname is also Jiang. The heirs of Yiye Pianzhou are all women. According to rumors, the heirs of Yiye Pianzhou will be able to do business since childhood, which can be said to be a natural talent."
"Is it possible that Jiang Jiu is the orphan of the Jiang family we are looking for?"
Nichang thought about it carefully for a while, but she was still undecided.
"But the heirs of a small boat should have a token. Only by finding the token can we know who their heirs are. There are many people in the world who are good at business, so I can't be sure."
Lu Yunyang nodded slightly: "Yes, even in the small Xiang County, that Ninth Brother is very good at doing business..."
"Yes, Xiao Yimo, a subordinate of Brother Jiu, has caused us so much headache. In the past few days, Hong Xiu Zhao has released new songs, which have snatched away some of our customers. Fortunately, we still have one song. What's more annoying is that when I sent someone to find Master Xiao to sell the song again, he actually raised the price."
People get angry when they mention this group of Nishang, but Xiao Yimo is still fearless.
But if their Hua Man Lou doesn't release any new music, all the customers will be attracted away by Hong Xiu Zhao.
Lu Yunyang asked: "Is there a way to solve the problem once and for all?"
Nichang showed a trace of embarrassment on her face: "Yes, Xiao Yimo proposed another solution. Give him 30% of the profit from Hua Man Lou, and he can guarantee that the songs of Hua Man Lou are updated in real time."
"Thirty percent? He really dares to ask for it...Do you want me to sell Hua Man Lou to him..." Lu Yunyang gritted his teeth, feeling very angry.
Nichang: "Our Hua Man Lou is not a real brothel, but the work of the master's subordinates also requires money..."
A penny can make a hero fail. No matter what time, no one can let people work without letting them eat. Even the emperor has not said that he will not pay salaries to his court officials.
Once upon a time, Lu Yunyang had a master who was quite good at making money. He also had the support of the Lu family and money to spend.
But now that the master has passed away, the Lu family has divided him apart and they are suddenly in trouble.
Lu Yunyang was at a loss for a moment.
However, Nichang's eyes were rolling around, she had an idea in her mind but she didn't dare to speak it out to Lu Yunyang.
After all, she had followed him for so many years. Lu Yunyang frowned and said, "Just say whatever you want to say. Don't be so hesitant."
Nichang smiled awkwardly and suggested cautiously: "Master, don't worry. If you can't find Brother Nine, don't you still have Miss Jiang? Besides, she is your wife. As long as you use some tricks to make Miss Jiang fall in love with you, Miss Jiang's ability can also help you make money."
Lu Yunyang snorted coldly, his eyes moving with frost.
"Let me bow to her for the sake of money, huh, dreaming..."
After saying this, Lu Yunyang turned away.
Today's sunshine is somewhat dazzling. After spring comes summer. The weather is gradually getting warmer. The girls on the street are all wearing colorful spring clothes, like butterflies among flowers.
In Lu Yunyang's opinion, most women in the world are like this.
Suddenly, there was a noise on the street, and then a woman's sharp curses were heard.
"I gave you money to support your studies, but you went to Hongxiuzhao. How shameless of you, a scholar, to go to Hongxiuzhao?"
The man's face turned red after being scolded by her. He raised his hand to hit her, but hesitated and walked home with a face full of anger and shame. However, the woman grabbed him and would not let him leave, and continued to scold him.
It was as if the woman was determined to embarrass the man or to arouse everyone's sympathy for her.
The man became anxious and did not hit the woman. Instead, he pushed her hard and ran away with his face covered.
The woman was pushed aside and burst into tears. The maid beside her tried to persuade her, and suddenly, she pointed towards the teahouse.
Lu Yunyang looked upstairs following the maid's direction.
"Jiang Jiu...why is she here..."
The woman walked up with her skirt lifted, and Lu Yunyang couldn't help but follow her.
"Jiang Jiu, you would rather watch the excitement upstairs than go and talk to me about Chang Zhili. You are really my good sister."
As she was talking, the woman came upstairs, looked Xiao Yimo up and down, and suddenly said with a smile: "I was wondering why you met your lover here."
Jiang Jiu had a calm expression and politely made a gesture of invitation.
"Sister, we've been arguing for a long time, have some tea."
Jiang Jiu poured Jiang Mingyue half a cup of tea. Jiang Mingyue was indeed thirsty, so she drank it all in one gulp.
He glanced at Xiao Yimo with a sidelong glance: "My cousin is here too, why don't you go and scold that Chang guy and vent my anger for me? I paid for his education with good intentions, but he went to visit a brothel."
Although Xiao Yimo is a relative of both Jiang Jiu and Jiang Mingyue, it is obvious that he is closer to Jiang Jiu.
"Xiaojiu, let's do as you say. I'll try again and then I'll leave first."
When Jiang Mingyue saw Xiao Yimo was about to leave, she suddenly grabbed his sleeve.
"Cousin, this is so unkind. Why did you leave as soon as I came? I delayed your love conversation."
Xiao Yimo's eyes flashed with impatience, and then he smiled: "Mingyue, men should not be controlled too strictly. Do you know who else went to Hongxiuzhao with Chang Xiucai yesterday?"
Jiang Mingyue: "Who is it?"
Xiao Yimo: "The new prefect is in charge of next year's imperial examination. It is said that more than half of the scholars in Xiang County went to Hongxiu for recruitment yesterday."
"Chang Zhili was there to meet friends. You said he was looking for a woman. That's really unfair to him."
Jiang Mingyue obviously didn't believe it and rolled her eyes at Xiao Yimo: "Playing is playing, and you're delaying your studies. Do you really think I don't know anything? Okay, you should leave quickly, or Lu Yunyang will see you having a tryst with Jiang Jiu and divorce her."
