Listening to Chen Yan's explanation, Ouyang Ye first noticed the current monthly money of the Shenmu Gang, which is the basic monthly salary.

The monthly money of ordinary gang members is one tael, the leader is ten taels, and the hall master is one hundred taels. In addition, the hall master can draw a monthly income of 100% from the monthly income of the territory he is responsible for protecting. The specific monthly commission seems to be based on whether Ouyang Hu is satisfied with the monthly income of the territory.

After the hall master received the commission, he also had the habit of taking out some money to reward his subordinates from his own commission. Chen Yan was very interested and even wrote down how much money the hall masters each month used as reward.

Judging from this account book, the two logging farms that Dongtang is responsible for have the highest monthly income. In the past few months, the lowest income was 1,000 taels, and the highest income was close to 2,000 taels.

With such financial support, Deng Kui rewarded his brothers with generous rewards. It is no wonder that Brother Dongcheng is the most powerful among the three churches.

But Ouyang Ye knew that Ouyang Hu would never allow his subordinates to take advantage of it for nothing, so the two territories that Dongtang was responsible for were most difficult to protect, or the most likely to happen.

After Dongtang, the two logging yards in Nantang are not much different from one logging yard in Xitang, a woodworking workshop and two gambling halls in the town, both of which are about one thousand taels.

As for the brothers in the house of the Punishment Hall and the escort gang leader, they were directly led by Ouyang Hu, and the monthly money and rewards were paid by Ouyang Hu. Therefore, although Tan Kang was named the Punishment Hall, he could only be regarded as the deputy who helped Ouyang Hu to manage the affairs of the Punishment Hall.

In addition to maintaining the rules of the gang, the Criminal Hall is actually mainly used as a mobile team to provide timely support in various logging sites after accidents. Later, it added a matter of collecting protection fees from ordinary merchants in the town every day.

Finally, it was Chen Yan.

For the Shenmu Gang, he was not only the partner, deputy leader of the Shenmu Gang who initially helped Ouyang Hu to establish the Shenmu Gang, but also the steward of managing property.

For the outside world, Chen Yan is actually a local gentry in Jitangguan, the second owner and shopkeeper of Shenmu Trading Company. He is not only responsible for maintaining the timber sales of Shenmu Bang, but also responsible for handling some matters involving the government.

What Chen Yan got was 30% of the total income earned by the Shenmu Gang after removing the hall master's commission every month.

The remaining 70% are all considered Ouyang Hu, but Ouyang Hu needs to take out a considerable portion of these 70% to pay monthly money to the gang members, give rewards to the brothers of the prison hall, and give rewards to the gang's brothers. He also pays for some public consumption of the gang.

Then if there is a balance after the income and expenditure of that month, how much Ouyang Hu wants to take away depends on his intentions. He did not state the reason, but just recorded a sum in this account.

Therefore, from the account book, Ouyang Hu's monthly money fluctuates greatly, and sometimes even adds money to it. For example, Chen Yan said, when there is a loss in the monthly balance of the silver treasury.

After roughly understanding the profit distribution rules of the Shenmu Gang, Ouyang Ye directly turned to the accounts for this month.

Probably to facilitate Ouyang Ye to check the accounts, although there are still a few days before the end of the month, Chen Yan has already made the monthly settlement.

After looking through, Ouyang Ye found that if it weren't for the two or three thousand taels of silver he had obtained from the Iron Wire Gate's nest yesterday, after sending out the big silver as the aftermath, the monthly balance would definitely be a loss.

One reason is that in the past three months, Ouyang Hu has been bedridden due to injury. No matter what the three hall masters in the east and west are involved, they are all involved, dispersing their time and energy.

In this way, the monthly income of various places will naturally drop a lot. After excluding the commission of the three hall masters, the total monthly income is only more than 2,000 taels.

Second, the aftermath expenses issued by Ouyang Ye decided yesterday reached nearly 3,000 taels. In addition, more than 1,000 taels of money should have been paid by the gang leader, the total expenditure this month naturally exceeded the total income.

After watching for a while, Ouyang Ye realized that Chen Yan’s so-called gang bank bank refers to the part that Ouyang Hu took away after the income and expenditure in the past month was offset, and the remaining money accumulated together for a long time.

Ouyang Ye looked at it and found that even if the balance of more than 1,000 taels this month was added, it would only be more than 8,000 taels.

"However, since my father often takes money from this banknote, there must be a personal small banknote. Over the years, my father's small banknote has accumulated a lot of silver in his banknote." Thinking of this in his heart, Ouyang Ye did not ask Ouyang Hu on the spot.

Seeing that Ouyang Ye seemed to have finished reading the account book, Chen Yan asked, "Are you confused about the accounts of the gang leader?"

Ouyang Ye closed the account book and said directly: "I don't understand accounts, but I know that the non-distribution of public and private is not conducive to long-term development. Although the gang leader's private finance and gang finance are not mixed, they are not clear. I want to change this."

"How do you want to change?" Ouyang Hu asked.

Chen Yan smiled and looked at Ouyang Ye with interest.

Under the gaze of the two, Ouyang Ye said: "It's very simple. From next month, I will share the fixed share of the total monthly income like Mr. Chen, which can be tentatively set to 30%.

"As for the remaining 40% of the total income, it can be used as public expenses for the gang. The monthly monthly money for the gang members and other expenses for gang construction are all paid out from the public expenses. If the public expenses are insufficient, the gang leader can make up for the private money, but if there is a balance in the future, it must be returned as soon as possible."

"Only in this way can we clear both public and private."

Chen Yan didn't say anything, but Ouyang Hu closed his eyes and shook his head, saying, "You are not good at doing this - it's not that you don't know that it's better to be a father. The reason why I don't do that is to let the brothers know that their monthly money is allocated from the part I have earned, so that they know who they are serving for."

Ouyang Ye smiled and said, "What my father thought does make sense, but how effective is this? Which is the pros and cons?"

After hearing what Ouyang Ye said, thinking about some of the brothers of Nan cousin betrayed by Tian Yunong before, and almost all the brothers of Dong cousin were the only ones who followed Deng Kuima. Ouyang Hu's usual belief was shaken.

But he still had difficulty turning around for a while, so he could only say: "It is still very important to be in the world and win over the brothers with kindness."

"Father," Ouyang Ye knew that Ouyang Hu was about to be persuaded, so he continued to work hard and said, "I didn't say that I would no longer win over my brothers, but setting a better gang rules and then using money to reward my brothers for their own money will be better able to win over the hearts of the people?"

Ouyang Hu was finally convinced and sighed: "Well, just change as you said."

After sighing, he smiled again - his son's idea of ​​governing the gang is better than him, and this is something he should be happy about.

Seeing that the father and son decided on this matter, Chen Yan smiled and said, "The gang leader's move is indeed better. From next month, I will keep the accounts as the young gang leader said."

After saying that, Chen Yan handed over another account book and said, "This is the monthly account transaction record between the business bank and various logging farms, woodworking workshops, and gambling halls. Please check it out the gang leader."

When Ouyang Ye heard this, he knew that the logging farm, woodworking workshop, and gambling hall were equivalent to subsidiaries affiliated to Shenmu Trading Company.

However, when he looked through the second account book, he found that the Shenmu Gang's management of these "subsidiaries" was really too rough.

For example, in a logging farm, the Shenmu Gang provides manpower and material resources to establish. After completion, the logging farm must hand over the monthly timber to the Shenmu Trading Company for sale. From the manager to the bottom-level loggers, they basically receive dead wages. Only when Ouyang Hu and Chen Yan are satisfied with the income contributed by the logging farm, will they think of giving some rewards.

The management model of woodworking workshops and gambling halls is basically the same.

Therefore, this account book is almost a record of paying wages and bonuses to personnel from all regions below. It is very simple. Ouyang Ye will probably read it after reading it.

Although Ouyang Ye was determined to change the management methods of various territories below, he also knew that this matter was not something that could be said here, but was preparing to make a decision after the on-site investigation.

So, after closing the second account book, Ouyang Ye looked at the third account book, which was in Chen Yan's hand, and the last account book.
