Night.
The weather is gradually getting warmer, but the kang is still burning in the house, and the Li family's tradition will not stop burning until the end of February.
Sitting on the soft sofa chairs in the room, the stewards enjoyed it.
Warm and comfortable.
The furniture made by Fushang Li Kee Furniture Workshop is getting better and more beautiful, and it is becoming more and more comfortable, and many of the furniture has completely got rid of the previous style, but it is indeed more comfortable than the previous couch bed.
On the solid wood coffee table in front of the sofa, tea and snacks are placed.
The tea is the best Wuyishan black tea, and there are several kinds of dim sum such as osmanthus cake, and even milk candy.
If these refreshments are placed in the teahouse outside, they are not cheap, even if they are ordinary small landlords' homes, they can't be placed.
But in the Li Mansion, these are not taken out when entertaining distinguished guests.
As now, the stewards of the house are sitting here, and the house is also laid out.
This is not to look at the plate, it is really for them to eat, drink and eat as much as they want, even if they take away these pastries and sweets on the table when they leave, no one will say a word.
This is the essence of the Li family.
This is also the reason why the stewards have to come to see Mrs.
Li Xiang in the evening.
They are all stewards of the Li Mansion.
The main ones are the stewards of the house, and the stewards outside are not here today.
Walking out, everyone is living a very nourishing life, holding their heads up, and the name of a Li Mansion steward makes them have a high status outside.
What's more, the stewards of the Li Mansion are not just face-saving, although the stewards of the Li Mansion are indeed very face-saving, and they have face to the point that even in Xiangyang, a temporary presence, where the powerful officials and eunuchs are everywhere, they are also very dignified when they go out, and the officials of Xiangyang Mansion have to give them some face.
Besides, the steward of the Li Mansion not only has face, but also has a lining.
Their salaries are very high, and their wages are paid monthly, and they are all Zhenguan copper dollars, which are very hard copper coins, which are more useful than the Kaiyuan Tongbao issued by Wude Nian.
Moreover, in addition to the monthly money, they can also receive monthly food in the house, which are all excellent rice and flour grains, and no matter the price of grain outside rises and falls, their monthly food is very rich and has not become less.
In addition, throughout the year, there will be a silk wadding, and the house will also tailor good clothes, socks and shoes for them, which are very good materials, and the housekeepers and servants of the Li family wear all the bags in the house, and the clothes are very distinctive, very unified, and when you wear them out, you will know that they are the people of the Li family, and they have a special face when they go out in the clothes of the Li family.
In addition to a fixed salary, as well as benefits such as food and cloth.
The stewards of the Li Mansion do a good job, and there are basically additional rewards every month, and the Li Mansion gives more bonuses to the subordinates, mainly because there are many types, what kind of full attendance, performance, etc., the key is that you are diligent and hard-working, then the monthly reward will not be less.
If you achieve a management level like stewardship, the salary is higher, the salary is higher, and the reward is higher.
Enjoy independent rooms, even courtyards, enjoy the use of carriages and horses, etc., and the senior stewards even give these to the Yahuan mother-in-law and coachman.
Senior stewards, at the end of each year, can also get a dividend, which is a real big red envelope. can be the steward of the Li family, and in less than three years, he can buy a house and a car, drive slaves and maids himself, and even have savings in the money bank, or he can buy land and land.
It can be said that the servants of the Li family are the envy of outsiders, and the stewards of the Li family, I don't know how many people broke their heads and wanted to squeeze in.
But it is difficult to become the steward of the Li family, especially the steward of the house.
Now there are inner and outer court stewards in the Li Mansion, both male and female stewards, but they have one common characteristic, that is, they are all slaves of the Li Mansion, they are either the domestic slaves of the Li family, or they are the subordinates and guest girls who have been released once.
The Li family is very generous to their subordinates, and those who can be in charge are all capable people, perform well, and basically get the opportunity to be released, most of them are already tribals and guest girls.
The status of the trilogy and the guest girl is much higher than that of a slave, but it is still a half-slave, attached to the master's family.
This time, Li Chao sent a message to the stewards, and all the stewards can unconditionally give them another exemption, and this time it is good to directly exempt them, which is also to thank them for their loyalty and diligence to the Li family.
It's just that after Li Chao's words were announced, the stewards were not very happy.
On the contrary, they are terrified.
At most, go outside to manage Zhuangzi, workshops, shops, and mines, although the treatment of foreign stewards is also very good, but many stewards prefer to stay in the house.
How comfortable the Li Mansion is, and how good the head of the family and his wife are to them.
Here, although they are in charge of the affairs, they all wear silk, there are carriages, they live in small courtyards, and even have their own granges, etc., and they have a fixed income of 100 dollars every year, which is simply a drought and flood to ensure the harvest.
And not only is the treatment good, but there is also a face when you go out.
The steward of the Li Mansion, even the county order of Xiangyang, has to give them some face, and if they usually do something for their own family, a sentence of the steward of the Li Mansion is enough.
"Xiangguo and Mrs. have arrived."
Steward Lao Li came in and shouted.
So, a group of stewards all stood up to greet Li Chao.
Li Chao's face was full of red light, and he came in with Cui Yingying's hand, followed by several other concubines.
After the New Year, my father had already asked for his resignation from the Beiya, and the emperor also approved it, giving my father the rank of general and rewarding him with a lot of things.

The father took his young son and wife and went to his hometown in Yangzhou.
After staying there for a while, Daddy would go to his fiefdom and preside over the construction of the fief, which was located in the north of Yanshan, which was close to the Khitans and close to the Goguryeo forces.
As a lord, he has to manage the construction and guard his territory, and Li Chao has already transferred money and grain craftsmen to his father, preparing to build a castle for him in the territory first.
"Sangkook, ma'am."
A group of stewards bowed down to say hello.
Li Chao waved his hand.
"You're welcome, sit down, it's all the old people in the family."
The stewards of the Li Mansion nodded and sat down with a smile.
The family is big and the business is big, and it is no longer the small family that used to be in Bashang.
The Li family is now full of industries, and there are more than 1,000 people in this mansion in Xiangyang City alone.
A large number of slaves, and naturally there are many stewards.
Although the Li family does not have many masters, it is not a few, and Li Chao's wives and concubines are also considered to be a group, with many children, and there used to be a father, Qi Niang, two sisters and a younger brother.
Each person has their own yard, each has their own group of servants, there are personal maids, there are special mothers-in-law, as well as nannies, etc., in addition to the kitchen, laundry, janitor, housekeeper, team, there are a lot of people.
There are even many staff members, and these people are also taken care of.
Li Chao is a person who likes comfort and comfort, and he has never minded making his life more comfortable.
If you have money, you should hire more servants, and your daily life and diet will be better, which is normal.
Even the Li family has its own special polo team, and there are three polo teams, and there is also a small polo team, which is a special woman riding a pony to play.
In the Li Mansion, there is even a school dedicated to the children of the house, the children of relatives, and the children of the family.
Li Chao likes the comfort of his own life, and he is willing to let the people who follow him live comfortably.
Whether they are stewards or slaves, they have good food and shelter, and even wages and bonuses.
Li Chao did not hesitate to do this, and he did not fully agree with the sentence Shengmi Endou Mi Qiu.
Because he felt that it was very beneficial to treat his slave hires better, especially to separate them from other people's homes, so that the slave hires in the family would have better centripetal force, stronger cohesion, and more loyalty and diligence to the Li Mansion.
Besides, the Li family is not short of this money, and they can always give this preferential treatment.
Do a good job, there are many awards, this is an incentive system, the Li family has always been like this, grinding foreign workers every day, it will not work here.
Good work is a reward, but if you continue to behave badly, such people will be driven away, hired servants will be dismissed from their contracts, and slaves will be sold.
Therefore, all along, the people of the Li Mansion have been full of enthusiasm and serious performance, because they have a head.
Li Chao didn't even hesitate to give exemption to the servants in the house, as long as he behaved well, everyone had the opportunity to get a chance to be exempted, one was exempted as a trilogy, and the other was exempted as a good citizen.
For valuable slaves, Li Chao's performance is not to hold on to their contracts, on the contrary, Li Chao will give them freedom, even take out higher salaries, and even give them dividends.
Because Li Chao knew that this method was actually simpler and more effective, out of the door of the Li Mansion, those people would not be able to find a second such good master.
"Xiangye, ma'am."
Old housekeeper Li spoke on behalf of the stewards, he was careful with his words, and after talking for a while, he still expressed his gratitude to Li Chao for giving everyone the opportunity to be free from good and free, but everyone was very satisfied with the current part.
With the identity of the trilogy, they are not slaves, but they are members of the Li family, if Li Chao gives them free treatment, they will be very afraid.
They are worried that after they are no longer in the house, they will no longer be able to stay in the house to take care of things, after all, the affairs of the house must be more assured by their own people.
They are willing to continue to be in this status and have been doing things for Xiangye and his wife.
Li Chao heard this, and said in a deep voice, "You don't have any worries, even if you are exempted, you can continue to work in the Li Mansion in the future, and still do your current position."
I Li Chao employs people, I don't see if you are a slave of the Li Mansion, whether there is a contract in my hands, what I value is this person, whether you are willing to work hard, whether you can be diligent, as long as you can do this, it doesn't matter whether you are a contract slave of the Li Mansion or not, if you are not serious about doing things, even if you are a contract slave of the Li Mansion, I will not leave you to occupy the pit and not. ” The old housekeeper is still a subordinate of the Li Mansion, and his sons have become military attachés of the fifth grade, and Li Chao wanted to give him a good conscience several times earlier, but he himself refused.
Now, he is still reluctant to leave this trilogy identity.
In his opinion, what Li Chao said is true, but they are still willing to retain this trilogy identity, and with this trilogy identity, then they are still members of the Li family, and they will do things in the Li family.
This idea is a little incomprehensible to Li Chao, a traverser, which is a kind of identity attachment, the same as the peasant's desire for land.
Li Chao persuaded a few words, the old housekeeper and a group of stewards wiped their tears, and resolutely said that they would not leave the identity of the tribe, and they would be the subordinates of the Li family for generations in the future, and they would serve the Li family for the master and his wife, and they would be loyal.
In this regard, Cui Yingying was very happy and appreciated everyone's loyalty.
And Li Chao could only sit on the side and accept this peculiar fact with a wry smile. t1706231537:
