This side effect is awesome - Page 32
Hearing Song Ankang’s blunt and blunt words, the stewards below were stunned, but each of them felt refreshed inexplicably.
“What Master Song Lin said is true, we just hate Tang Quanli and his cronies!”
What people didn’t expect was that there were still stewards in the crowd who followed suit.
Song Ankang said with a smile: “Then let’s talk about the third thing. I have already learned that when Tang Quanli took office, he cut everyone’s wages in half.”
“Moreover, money has been depreciating in value over the past few years, but not only have your wages not increased, some people’s wages have been deducted by Tang Quanli’s people with various excuses, and even continued to reduce wages.”
“It’s ugly to eat so far, it’s really embarrassing. Starting from this month, everyone’s salary will be restored to the level before Tang Quanli became the owner of the White Jade Mulberry Forest. If someone performs well in the future, I will increase the salary as appropriate. There are also those who perform poorly. The wages may be lowered, and please do your best for Baiyu Sanglin in the future.”
When the words fell to the ground, the hall was silent, and all the stewards looked at Song Ankang in disbelief, and could hardly believe their ears.
These stewards were certainly surprised by Song Ankang’s merciless treatment of Tang Quanli, but considering that Song Ankang had just driven away Tang Quanli’s men, it was quite normal to act like this.
If they knew that Tang Quanli used some ridiculous excuses to seize Song Ankang’s newly-run Chaoyun Farm, they would understand that Song Ankang’s actions were not excessive, but very normal.
If it wasn’t for Tang Quanli’s shamelessness, Song Ankang would not be so merciless, not to mention that Tang Quanli had a grudge against his cheap wife Tang Yelan, and Song Ankang would not save him any face under such circumstances.
But what shocked all the managers the most was that just after taking office, Song Ankang directly restored the salary to the level before Tang Quanli became the owner of the Baiyu Mulberry Forest, equivalent to doubling everyone’s salary.
Such generosity is simply unbelievable.
Especially these stewards thought that as long as they could not deduct money, they didn’t expect that Song Ankang not only did not cut their wages, but increased their wages so much.
You must know that whether it is these stewards or the Weaver Girls, the wages are already quite a lot. If it weren’t for this, there would not be so many people staying after Tang Quanli deducted half of it.
Now it has doubled on this basis, how can it not be jaw-dropping.
Even if he dared to think about things, he didn’t expect that Song Ankang, the new forest owner, would directly double everyone’s wages as soon as he took office.
You must know that this is not one person, nor dozens of managers, but thousands of people working for the white jade mulberry forest.
Almost immediately, all the stewards recognized the new forest owner, and stars twinkled in Song Ankang’s eyes.
The new forest owner is really handsome, handsome, unrestrained, generous, elegant, arrogant… must support!
After a while of silence, dozens of stewards bowed down to Song Ankang with a tacit understanding: “I would like to obey Song Linzhu’s orders. In the future, Song Linzhu has orders, and we will obey them!”
Looking at the stewards who were sincerely convinced and bowed down, Song Ankang nodded with satisfaction: “Since this is the case, the Baiyu Sang Forest will need to rely on you in the future, and please work together to manage the Bai Yu Sang Forest well. If the management of the Bai Yu Sang Forest is good , Your wages will be further increased in the future.”
“Lord Song Lin, don’t worry, we will do our best.” Dozens of stewards bowed down again, and they had already made up their minds. As long as their wages don’t drop in the future, they will work hard to restore the white jade mulberry forest to its former glory.
Many of the owners of the white jade mulberry forest have been unable to win the hearts of the people after years of hard work, but Song Ankang got them as soon as he took office, thanks to Tang Quanli’s great assist.
Chapter 083
Some people may wonder whether Song Ankang will lose money by doing so, or make a lot of less profit, or even cause dissatisfaction among some senior officials of the Tang family.
Song Ankang can say with certainty that this situation will basically not happen, because a few years ago, that is, before Tang Quanli was in charge of Baiyu Sanglin, the salary of Baiyu Sanglin was at this level.
At that time, the white jade mulberry forest was ranked among the top three big mulberry forests in Xia Kingdom. The business was booming, excellent weavers emerged in endlessly, and their daily profits far exceeded what they are now.
Sufficient wages allow Baiyu Sanglin to easily recruit excellent weavers from all over the country, and these excellent weavers can bring high-quality white jade silk, white jade satin and white jade clothing.
This is Xia Guo’s only one, and it is a monopoly business in the field of white jade silk weaving. The quality is so good, so it naturally attracts countless powerful and wealthy people. Therefore, white jade silk and white jade clothing are famous in Xia Guo, and they belong to the Tang family of the imperial merchants. One of the signs.
However, as Tang Quanli took over the White Jade Mulberry Forest, he halved the wages of all clerks and weavers shortly after he took office. Many outstanding weavers left the White Jade Mulberry Forest directly. Tang Quanli had to recruit some less powerful weavers. Work fills the number.
However, the production of white jade silk, white jade satin, and white jade clothing has extremely high requirements for weavers, unlike ordinary silk, which can only be handcrafted. Therefore, this move has caused the quality of white jade silk to decline year by year, gradually losing its former glory.
The direct halving of the wages also caused the enthusiasm of the remaining weavers to plummet, and the quality and quantity of the white jade silk and satin produced every day were greatly reduced.
After careful calculation, although Tang Quanli’s move saved half of the wages, it at least reduced the profit of Baiyu Sanglin by more than [-]%, and it is still declining. This is definitely not worth the candle.
It was precisely because of this that Song Ankang had three fires when he took office, one of which was on the wages, which would inevitably plunge the entire Baiyu mulberry forest into a carnival.
The reason why Song Ankang knew so clearly was naturally due to the information sent by his cheap wife. From these information, Song Ankang knew that Tang Quanli was so stupid.
In order to covet immediate interests, disregarding the future interests of Baiyu Sanglin, it can be said to be a representative of harming public welfare and selfishness. No wonder decades have passed, and he has tried his best to fail to become the head of the Tang family.
It’s fine if you can’t compete with your second brother before, but now you can’t even compete with your second brother’s daughter, it’s a shame to throw it at grandma’s house.
Even so, Tang Quanli still didn’t find problems with himself, he still blamed this and blamed that, always resorted to some small tricks, which didn’t get on the table at all.
As long as Tang Quanli can live up to his expectations and perform a little better than ordinary people, Tang Yelan will not be the head of the Tang family.
The Tang family is huge, but there are only three direct descendants, namely Tang Quanli, Tang Quanyi and Tang Quanren. Among them, Tang Quanli is the eldest, Tang Quanyi is the second, and Tang Quanren is the third.
Tang Quanli is passionate about power but has no ability, Tang Quanyi has a very high level of business, and Tang Quanren is devoted to officialdom and doesn’t pay much attention to the business affairs of the Tang family.
Therefore, the position of the Patriarch of the Tang family is usually in the competition between Tang Quanli’s first court and Tang Quanyi’s second court. Unfortunately, after so many years of competition, Tang Quanli failed.
In addition to these materials, even the restoration of wages was Tang Yelan’s suggestion to Song Ankang. If it weren’t for this, Song Ankang, who just came to Baiyu Mulberry Forest and knew almost nothing, would not have rashly decided on such a big deal. Things, at least will be investigated.
But Song Ankang believed in Tang Yelan, the cheap wife who had never masked his face. After seeing her suggestion, Song Ankang immediately decided to follow suit.
Looking at the stewards who were crying with joy, Song Ankang also realized that this suggestion should be very good. Not only can he establish his position as the new forest owner in the shortest time, but it can also win the hearts of almost all the sang households.
Seemingly a simple decision, in fact, it is just the right medicine, which can exert an effect beyond imagination.
After talking about these three things, Song Ankang asked all the managers to leave, and he returned to the accounting room, waiting for the results to appear.
As soon as they left Baiyulou, many stewards couldn’t help cheering.
“I didn’t expect that the new forest owner is not only good-looking, but also has such a good heart. I will support this new forest owner to the end. From now on, I will only recognize Song Ankang, the new forest owner.”
“It’s unbelievable. I thought we would be deducted from our wages again, but we didn’t expect to double our wages directly. Master Song Lin is our reborn parents.”
“We hastened to tell all the weavers and fellows the good news, to make them happy too, and it was the best news I’ve had in years.”
“What I’m worried about now is that Linzhu Song is so merciless to Tang Quanli, Tang Quanli will definitely not let it go, how can we help Linzhu Song?”
……
Hearing the worries of some stewards, other stewards also became worried, and the smiles on their faces disappeared a lot.
Seeing this situation, Dong Xinjie came out: “There is not much we can do now, the only thing we can do is to stabilize the current situation for Master Song Lin, and it is best to make some achievements so that the people above can see that Master Song Lin’s actions are effective, so During this period of time, everyone needs to work hard to increase the profit of the white jade mulberry forest.”
“At the same time, we must also guard against Tang Quanli’s people infiltrating through us, which will be detrimental to Song Linzhu. Only in this way can we help Song Linzhu, and there will be no more problems in the future.”
……
After listening to Dong Xinjie’s words, many stewards responded in unison.
“Dong, don’t worry, Mr. Song Lin raised our wages so much in one go, how can we not repay the kindness, even if it is hard and tiring in the future, it should be done.”
“As long as we can keep Master Song Lin and prevent Tang Quanli from making a comeback, let alone such things, I’m willing to work nonstop.”
“Now everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope. If Tang Quanli comes back again, what will happen? If some of us are bribed by Tang Quanli and do things like eating inside and outside, then don’t blame everyone for being cruel and merciless. At that time, if you collect money, you will have to hire a killer to kill him.”
“There are thousands of mulberry households in the White Jade Mulberry Forest, as many as thousands of clerks and weavers. There must be something ignorant inside, so everyone can’t relax their vigilance. Apart from not being Tang Quanli’s lackeys, you have to be optimistic about the others. people.”
……
Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Song Ankang’s simple decision not only allowed him to win the hearts of countless weavers and buddies in Baiyu Mulberry Forest in the first place, but also made them willing to work for him.
Chapter 084
Once the situation in the White Jade Mulberry Forest has been stabilized, another extremely important matter should follow.
Not long after Song Ankang came to the accounting room, he received a piece of news that shocked him.
“How many?”
Song Ankang stared at an accountant sent by Tang Yelan, and asked in disbelief, Chunhua and Qiushi beside him also widened their bright eyes, and could hardly believe their ears.
“Preliminary estimates show that Tang Quanli has embezzled more than 140 million taels of silver from the white jade mulberry forest through deducting wages, falsifying account books, and using public funds for private use in the past eight years.” The accountant with a mustache said firmly: “And I dare For sure, this number is definitely above 140 million taels, and will not be lower than 140 million taels of silver.”
If the one tael of silver in Xia Kingdom is converted to the earth, it is about fifteen hundred, and if it is 140 million taels of silver, it is almost equivalent to a wealth of more than 20 billion.
Song Ankang couldn’t help asking: “According to the account books, what is the net profit of Baiyu Sanglin for a year?”
“About 120 million taels of silver.” The mustache accountant said with certainty.
Song Ankang gasped: “In other words, in just over eight years, Tang Quanli was greedy for more than a year’s net profit of the white jade mulberry forest.”
“That’s true!” Mr. Mustache Accountant nodded: “Missy’s conjecture is indeed correct. Before sending us here, Missy has already calculated Tang Quanli’s greedy money in the past eight years based on the information obtained these days. At around 150 million taels of silver, we still didn’t believe it at the time, but now it seems that the eldest lady is very powerful.”
Song Ankang was speechless, Chunhua and Qiushi were also dumbfounded.
We must know that the business of the processing workshop is considered good now, but at most it can bring Song Ankang about 3000 taels of income every month. If he wants to earn more than 140 million taels of silver, it will take decades at least. .
Even if Song Ankang is now an extraordinary monk and can hunt down some powerful monsters and ghosts, it is difficult for him to earn more than 1 taels of silver every month, and he has to take great risks.
It would take several years for Song Ankang to earn 140 million taels of silver even at the risk of his life, which is enough for Song Ankang to practice peacefully until he reaches the Dzogchen Cultivation of Qi, and even to a higher level. One can imagine how big this is! fortune.
Tang Quanli’s greed was beyond everyone’s expectations.
However, what Song Ankang admired the most was that cheap wife. Through the information obtained through some investigations, he could accurately infer the approximate amount of Tang Quanli’s greed for ink.
With these conclusive evidences, Tang Quanli would not be able to turn over no matter how noisy he was.
Thinking of this, Song Ankang suddenly realized that even if this incident hadn’t happened, Tang Quanli would have been overthrown by the well-prepared Tang Yelan sooner or later, losing the treasure of the white jade mulberry forest.
However, the fact that Song Ankang was being bullied by Tang Quanli forced Tang Yelan to act ahead of time and took a certain risk, but under such circumstances, everything was arranged so properly.
No longer thinking about it, Song Ankang immediately looked at the guards sent by Tang Yelan to drive away Tang Yuan and the others, and one of them was a first-class warrior in the Earth Pass: “Please send these evidences to the Tang Mansion immediately…my wife.” , she must be in urgent need of these now, remember to be careful on the way, Tang Quanli may send someone to intercept you.”
“My lord, don’t worry, we know.” Several guards hurriedly saluted, left the Baiyu Mulberry Forest with these evidences, and rushed towards the Tang residence.
Just as Song Ankang guessed, Tang Quanli at this moment had already received the news from Tang Yuan and others, and knew what happened in Baiyu Sanglin.
Angry Tang Quanli immediately wanted to suppress Song Ankang and the others in person, but was stopped by the Qi Yang Late monks sent by Tang Yelan, and the two sides almost went to war directly in the Tang family’s mansion.
Seeing that there was no way to use force to solve the problem, the angry Tang Quanli went directly to the ancestors of the Tang family, intending to sue Tang Yelan for being unfilial. The top management put pressure on Tang Yelan.
At this very moment, the two parties are arguing with the ancestors of the Tang family. At the same time, some high-level officials of the Tang family have dispatched people immediately under Tang Quanli’s signal, trying to destroy the evidence of Tang Quanli’s greed for ink.
But Tang Quanli and others did not expect that Tang Yelan’s movements would be so fast.
They thought that even if Tang Yelan and Song Ankang snatched the white jade mulberry forest when they were not prepared, it would take several days to find out the problem. hands and feet.
But Tang Quanli and others didn’t know at all that Tang Yelan had already made preparations in advance, and the preparations were basically complete.
It only took a few hours of work. Tang Quanli and others had just left the capital when Tang Yelan’s troops returned to the Tang family’s mansion with solid evidence and presented the evidence to the ancestors of the Tang family.
A hammer!
If it was said that Song Ankang had only one-tenth of the hope of winning the White Jade Mulberry Forest, now it has directly soared to more than 90.00%.
Seeing these evidences, the ancestors of the Tang family were also shocked, and most of the senior members of the Tang family were speechless. They never thought that Tang Quanli had corrupted more than 140 million taels of silver in the white jade mulberry forest, and only It took a few years.
This can no longer be described as a moth, it is simply a rat that wants to gnaw through the white jade mulberry forest, an important pillar of the Tang family, or a demon rat that gave birth to spirituality.
Thinking of the diminishing profits of the white jade mulberry forest in these years, the ancestors of the Tang family and all the senior officials of the Tang family fell silent. Even those senior officials who wore a pair of trousers with Tang Quanli felt that the situation was over and could not say anything.
At this moment, Tang Yelan stood up again and issued a military order. When her husband Song Ankang takes charge of the Baiyu Sanglin, the profit will increase by more than [-]% next year, and there will be no further reduction in the future. Within three years, it will reach original level.
Tang Yelan’s words slapped Tang Quanli hard again, making Tang Quanli ashamed to get involved in the white jade mulberry forest. No matter how much the ancestors of the Tang family favored this boss, he could only lose his position as the forest owner of the white jade mulberry forest and order him Make up for the silver taels of corruption within one year.
As the forest owner of the White Jade Mulberry Forest, he was able to share more than [-]% of the lucrative profits every year. The profits of the white jade mulberry forest are decreasing every year, and it is really self-inflicted.
Chapter 085 Shock
Facing Tang Yelan who had been preparing for a long time, Tang Quanli had almost no power to resist, so he was robbed of the position of forest owner of Baiyu Mulberry Forest, and became a joke of the Tang family.
If Tang Quanli hadn’t been an extraordinary monk at the seventh level of nourishing qi, and a direct descendant of the Tang family, this time he would not only have lost his position as the forest owner of the White Jade Mulberry Forest and lost money, but would have been imprisoned for several years.
Since then, Tang Quanli suffered a crushing defeat, and he had no face to stay with the patriarch of the Tang family any more, and returned to the first courtyard in despair.
But before Tang Quanli could sit still, he received another bolt of news that all the tenants of Chaoyun Grange had been abducted by Song Ankang.
No, to be precise, they should be willing to leave their hometown with Song Ankang and live in the white jade mulberry forest.
As the saying goes, the homeland is hard to leave, but just to follow Song Ankang, these people are going to leave their homeland. Did Song Ankang bewitch them to do such… outrageous things!
Tang Quanli was furious. He was still counting on the tenants of Chaoyun Farm to help him run the processing workshop business, so that he could make a lot of money.
Now that the white jade mulberry forest that was his pillar was lost, if the processing workshop of Chaoyun Tianzhuang was also lost, Tang Quanli would lose even his trousers.
Tang Quanli wanted to arrest all the people himself, but he learned from his subordinates that according to the rules of the Tang family, although the behavior of the tenants of Chaoyun Farm was outrageous, it was in line with the rules of the family and there was nothing wrong with it.
“Damn son-in-law Song Ankang, damn unfilial junior Tang Yelan, I will never let this matter go!”
In the end, Tang Quanli couldn’t do anything other than being incompetent and furious.
Stealing chickens is not enough to lose rice. Tang Quanli, who originally wanted to snatch Chaoyun Tianzhuang processing workshop, not only failed to get the business from the processing workshop, but Tang Yelan and Song Ankang even took away his most valuable things. Next They also need to pay more than 100 million taels of silver to Corruption.
It’s a little light to say that the muscles and bones are hurt, it should be said that even the internal organs have lost part of it.
With the help of people with good intentions, the news about Tang Quanli’s embezzlement of more than 100 million silver and his complete loss of the white jade mulberry forest quickly spread to everyone, and naturally the people of the white jade mulberry forest also heard about it.
