    ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s because the owner of the original family has been scrupulously trying to find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure in the past ten years so that the family can survive, so the original wishes left behind are also very simple.

    That is to make a lot of money. I no longer want to live the hard days of the past when one penny had to be broken into two pennies. I want to get rich suddenly.

    For a noble girl from a noble family to finally have such a wish, you can only imagine what she has been forced to do in the past few years.

    Seeing this, Qiao Mu breathed a sigh of relief. It was just making money, and it wasn't really that difficult. It was much easier than some people who wanted to rebel against the emperor's original body in the past, and then she thought about the gold bar tree in the penguin farm.  Such unscientific things exist, so the world of Qiaomu did not choose to replace the golden fingers, and still used the penguin farm originally used in the previous world.

    Just when I was thinking about what excuse I should use to smuggle some gold out of the Penguin Farm, the maid waiting outside the house already shouted: "Old Madam!

    The eldest lady came with the ledger.  "

    "I know, come over here!"

    Qiao Mu quickly stood up, yawned and nibbled on a green ginseng fruit before leaving the house.

    It was still the same Wenxi Hall where the two people were talking before, but this time Xiao did not come alone, but brought seven or eight muscular servants with them, holding a pile of account books.

    ¡°I met my wife and brought all the ledgers.

    Where do you think it is placed?  "

    Mrs. Xiao said quickly when she saw Qiao Mu coming in.

    That look, that attitude, it looked like she was really anxious and wanted to throw away the burden of being a housekeeper.

    But this is normal. Who wants to continue doing a business that is losing money? They are not stupid.

    "Let's move them all to my dormitory. It just so happens that I can take a look at it when I have free time at night. By the way, the monthly payment for this month hasn't been paid yet. Come with me to my room later. I'll get it first."  I¡¯ll give you the Midas touch, but I¡¯ll wait until I get this monthly payment.¡±

    Qiao Mu, who had the memory of his original body, naturally knew more about the situation in the mansion, and even knew that tomorrow would be the time for the mansion to pay the monthly payment. Under normal circumstances, this is the largest monthly expense in the mansion. Not only the mansion  The maids and servants of the house must be paid, and the masters of the house must also be paid. From the old lady like her to the newly born concubines, they must have monthly money every month for daily expenses.

    Those with the fewest masters, that is, those who are just born, also receive three taels per month. The older ones, such as her concubines and concubine's wives, receive five to eight taels per month, and then the aunts serve as servants.  The concubine also has to pay five or six taels every month, and the legitimate son's side is naturally more. Calculated in such a general way, the so-called master of the family has to pay more than five hundred taels every month, plus those maids.  The monthly salary of a servant and housekeeper, sometimes even one thousand taels may not be enough to cover the expenses.

    "These are just monthly payments. Daily meals, various utensils and other expenses are not included in it. If all kinds of expenses are included, it will be about three thousand taels per month.

    The only five shops left in the Hou Mansion are basically unprofitable, with a monthly income of only one hundred and eighty taels. The total is not enough to pay the monthly income of the masters in the manor. Although there are hundreds of hectares of farmland on the farm,  The income from farming has not been high since ancient times. Those who farm are far less than those who work as second-hand traders and sell grains. In good years, they can harvest thirty to forty thousand taels every year, which can barely balance the account.  In a disaster year, there will be a huge deficit on the books immediately.

    Last year was a year of great disaster. Not only did many places have no harvests, but they also had to lend money to farmhands for the winter. It was normal for Xiao to not be able to survive. After all, if she continued to survive, she would have to fill the gap of nearly 50,000 taels.  , so much money is not enough even if she sells out all her dowry.

    "Thank you madam, I was worried about this!

    You don¡¯t know that when the monthly payment was not enough last month, I was the one who forced myself to pay the monthly payment, but it was also three days late, causing everyone to complain. If it continues to be delayed this month  If so, my wife, I am really"

    The change in Xiao¡¯s expression as he spoke was really confusing, with both joy and bitterness.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? We are not sure what to do with the dowries of her two daughters in the future, considering the current deficit of her dowry.

    ¡°Oh, this is such a tough place to be!

    That's all, it's better to divide the family as soon as possible. Don't spread the news first. I'll sort out the accounts and look back. I took the time to divide the family. Everyone has grown up. Some of the children are old, but they still haven't given it back to the family.  The reason for raising him is that he doesn¡¯t know how to take money from home, he only knows how to take money from home, and he can¡¯t serve him well.Got them.

    You go back first. Oh, no, you go to my room with me first. I almost forgot about getting money for you. Come with me!  "

    Qiao Mu complained for a while and decided to divide the family quickly first. Those bastards were all in their thirties, yet they had the nerve to stay at home and grow old. Now the mansion not only has to support them, but also has to support them.  With their wives, servants and children.

    Although they will lose some land if they are divided, it is a loss. According to the law, they can only divide the remaining 30% of the property with so many bastards. The property divided may not be as much as they have used over the years.  Woolen cloth.

    Qiao Mu stood up as she spoke, and reminded her eldest daughter-in-law to follow her to her house to get the gold, so that she could make monthly money for the family.

    Of course, there must not be much gold in the original house. Even jewelry and other things are only of a certain level. The rest are basically from the past few decades. When she was a housekeeper, she encountered those in the disaster years.  After being exposed for a few years, Qiao Mu naturally took the gold bars from the gold bar trees in the Penguin Farm. Each gold bar was fifty taels. Qiao Mu used a cabinet as a cover, took out two bars, and placed them in an empty jewelry box next to him.  , handed it directly to Xiao, and waved her to leave.

    Ms. Xiao really left with a smile on her face and hugged the two gold bars. However, she was not mainly happy about getting the gold bars. The main thing she was happy about was that the old lady said she wanted to separate the family. Over the years, she had also told her husband  The dozen or so concubine brothers still lived in the Hou Mansion and had great objections, but the old lady above them didn't say anything, and she, as a daughter-in-law, had no control over them, so she could only sulk.

    It¡¯s okay now. The old lady has finally woken up and wants to separate the family. Although they will definitely have to share some of the property after the family separation, in the end the big share will belong to their eldest family. If they are more frugal then, their life should be much more comfortable than now.

    After all, now they have 500 hectares of land to support their family of seventeen. When the family is divided in the future, it will be more than 300 hectares of land to support their family, and at most they will take an old lady out. Anyone with a sound mind knows how to divide the family.  Home is more cost-effective.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
