Our garden is only half as large as theirs. If we double it, we will earn 400 silver a year. ..... among all the old mothers in the garden, select a few conscientious old ladies who can honestly understand the situation in the garden and send them to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. There is no need to ask them to pay rent and pay taxes, just ask them what they can cash in a year. A garden has someone to repair it, and the flowers and trees seem to be getting older every year, so there is no need to make a fuss temporarily; Second, it will not be humiliated in vain and failed to live up to things; The three old mothers can also take this opportunity to make up for their hard work in the garden; Fourth, it can also save the labor costs of these gardeners, mountain gardeners and cleaners. It is not impossible to make up for this.
So, let's assign the old bamboo to look after the bamboo forest, the old Tianma to look after the vegetables and rice, and the old horse to look after the flowers and plants in the garden. ...
"Throttling" means saving expenses and making the best use of everything. The concrete measures of exploring spring are to save energy and reduce energy. For example, after "contracting", the park "saves the labor costs of these gardeners and mountaineers"; The second is to change the unreasonable "old system" and reduce the monthly income and repeated expenditure of master and servant. Jia's grandfather has lucky money every month, including powder money for ladies, pocket money for friends to go to school and so on. And the maid in each room also shares the master's money. In addition, the exchange of money and goods between relatives and friends is also a big expense. Tanchun's "elimination of disadvantages" has "completely eliminated the unreasonable part of these expenses."
Whether it is "open source" or "throttling", it is undoubtedly correct and feasible in domestic management (and even national economic management). However, although Tan Chun's "reform" did not receive much resistance on the surface, she actually suffered a lot of pressure, and she also cried for it. The ancients said, "Old habits are hard to change". I think Tanchun is successful because she is good at learning. The "contract system" is the management mode that learning depends on everyone. The second is to lead by example and be selfless. She dared to touch the interests of her master, even at the expense of her mother, Aunt Zhao, as an example for others. Third, be diligent in your duties and strictly supervise. The novel writes:
Only after three or four days, a few things happened, and I gradually understood that Tanchun's subtlety did not allow the wind, but her words were calm and her temperament was smooth. ..... Every night when sewing, before going to bed, I will take a small sedan chair to lead the night watchman around the garden. ...... So people inside and outside secretly complained: "Just now, I poured a' sea patrol hag' and added three' Zhenshan Taisui', so the time for stealing wine overnight was gone."
Facts show that Tanchun's "reform" has achieved remarkable results.
Born in the last days, Tanchun's fate is biased. Although her "reform" has achieved results, it is just a drop in the bucket for the huge daily expenses of a big family of hundreds of people, which can solve small difficulties and save the fire. In the end, she ended this "reform" attempt with her own distant marriage!
After all, personal strength is limited and can't compare with fortune. Even if you have Tan Chun's political mind and talent, you can't change the fate of Jia's demise. However, Tan Chun is a wise and brave person. She used her "reform" to show the elegant demeanor of the boudoir elite of that era. She proved to the world that there was no shortage of talents in that era, but a brand-new system that could provide opportunities for talents to give full play!
