Datang: In order to be a salted fish, I decided to look forward to my father Jackie Chan

Chapter 19
"I am Li Shizan! May I ask how to address him?" Li Xiao said politely.

"My maidservant's surname is Zhang, and his godfather is the prince." Eunuch Zhang saluted Li Xiao politely, but his godfather repeatedly emphasized that he should be more polite to Young Master Li, and don't play tricks of obedience.

Godfather's advice comes first, so I can't make mistakes.

"Oh? Eunuch Wang? That's an old acquaintance." Li Xiao skillfully took out four taels of silver, and slipped it into the sleeve of this eunuch in a blink of an eye. "Take me for a walk around this village, okay?"

Feeling the weight in the sleeves, Eunuch Zhang's originally smiling face was as earnest as a chrysanthemum blooming.

"Master Li, this way please."

Eunuch Zhang led Li Xiao into the courtyard, "After entering the door, this is the main house, the main house with four entrances, a total of dozens of rooms, and a large garden behind it."

After visiting the main house, I went out and went to several other main houses. There are seven or eight houses with three entrances and two entrances. As for the one-entry houses, they are all rented to poor tenants.

"Zhuangzi has three hundred tenants, including blacksmiths, carpenters, and bricklayers. They all live scattered on that slope. They cultivate this thousand mu of fertile land all the year round. As for the hunting ground, because they want to raise wild animals, they have never taken care of it."

"This river beach also belongs to Zhuangzi. The waterway is upstream, and the hundreds of acres of dry land are not cultivated, so the diversion canal is not used much."

"Why is this river beach empty?"

Eunuch Zhang glanced at Li Xiao in surprise, what else could the river beach be doing if it wasn't empty? "Indeed, some tenants have raised some ducks, but they don't raise many ducks, and there are only empty ones."

"Where does the river level fall during the dry season in winter?"

Eunuch Zhang is very familiar with these things, "The surface of the river is almost the same as now!"

Fengshui treasure!Li Xiao felt emotional in his heart.

After watching it almost, Li Xiao and the two returned to the house slowly.

"Zhuangzi's servant, the Empress really doesn't want to go back?"

"The Empress said, leave it to the Sir!" Eunuch Zhang pointed to a simple and honest middle-aged man, "This is Manager Zhou, and he is usually in charge of everything big and small."

"Anyone on the Zhuangzi, Sir, if you are not used to it, you can sell it directly. They all signed the contract of servant."

"Eunuch Zhang, we have been around all morning, let's have dinner together!" Li Xiao pulled Eunuch Zhang to sit on the table, but Eunuch Zhang refused, so he had to bite the bullet and sit down.

"Guan Zhou is also here to sit."

The simple and honest steward Zhou quickly declined, "There is no such reason, my little steward, how dare I sit with the master's house, master, please don't make things difficult for me."

"Come and sit down, I'll have to trouble you about Zhuangzi's affairs in the future."

Finally, under Li Xiao's tough attitude, Zhou Guanshi sat on the stool as if on pins and needles.

Since they all have servant deeds, they can use them with confidence and will never have second thoughts. Once the servant deeds are signed, all generations, descendants, and grandchildren will be Li Xiao's servants.

It can be said that the interests of the master and the servant are closely linked, so why not use it with confidence?
While having lunch, he learned about Zhuangzi's revenue in more detail.

It turned out that this Huangzhuang was only provided for the emperor to hunt, but there were many villages where the emperor hunted. There were many in Longshouyuan and Lishan. Stop it.

Zhuangzi's main income is the rent paid by tenants every year, which can be regarded as Zhuangzi's entire source of income.

However, the rent of three hundred households is very heavy in Li Xiao's view.

But these three hundred households are very satisfied, because they only need to pay rent and do not need to pay taxes.

Zhuangzi used to be Huangzhuang, and the owner was the queen. Of course, he did not pay taxes.

Now it is Li Xiao's Zhuangzi, and the amount of tax paid is Li Xiao's household, but Li Xiao and Niu Jinda have the same household registration, and Niu Jinda has an official status, so he pays taxes, what do you think?

Li Xiao went back to the city with Eunuch Zhang after wandering around Zhuangzi for a while in the afternoon, and Eunuch Zhang had to go to the palace to reply.

In the evening, Li Xiao welcomed everyone who sold shaved ice today at home.

The four of Cheng Chumo, plus Lao Suntou, walked into the yard with smiles on their faces, talking and laughing.

"How about it, is it selling well?"

"I thought you would forget about our brothers when you have a big house." After Cheng Chu said sourly, he said happily, "Chang'an City's [-] squares, our people have covered all of them, especially the old grandson. Leading their pedestrian team, the popsicles sold are only two yuan."

"As soon as you enter the workshop, it will be sold out in less than half an hour. Although popsicles are cheap, they can't hold up to a large quantity. You don't know that the accountant just counted two hundred sticks."

"It's twice as much as it was a few days ago, and there are brothers with good feet. They go to the suburbs twice a day. It costs a penny there, and the income is also very good. The old grandson and the others came to thank you specially."

Qin Huaiyu and Fang Yiai were also exhausted!He vomited bitterly, "We are also as tired as dogs, how about you, leisurely, can you stand up to the four of us?"

"Hahaha." Of course Li Xiao is happy to make money, "Don't act like a little girl, you won't complain when you get dividends at the end of the month!"

Hearing the dividends at the end of the month, the atmosphere changed instantly. Both Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chumo were looking forward to how much they would be able to share at the end of the month. This was the first time they earned money openly!

Li Deliang and Fang Yi'ai didn't think much about it, it's almost the end of the month, and the two of them just arrived, so they must not share too much, otherwise it would be unfair.

"Also, speed up the ice production and sell a little more every day, and the shaved ice business will make some money in summer."

"It can only be done in summer? My boss, our No. [-] brother, just saw some hope, this"

The old grandson was so aggrieved that he was about to cry. Before entering the house, he was still looking forward to how much money he could send back to his hometown at the end of the month. How could he know that this business would stop after the summer.

Li Xiao comforted everyone, and explained, "Old Sun, I have arrangements for you No. [-] people. Don't worry, your income will definitely not be less than now."

"Then what shall we do next?" Qin Huaiyu asked with a frown. The money comes in so fast these days. It is still a bit difficult to give up. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

"Don't worry, I had a little discussion with Uncle Fang and Uncle Li yesterday, and we have some ideas." Li Xiao tidied up his robes, "Papermaking!"

"Paper? The threshold is very high." Li Deliang frowned, and said in doubt, "Those paper-making families have a strict blockade on paper-making technology. What ordinary people can touch is the paper-making technology of Marquis Cai."

"Those people who have made paper for generations have innovated countless times in technology."

It seems that Li Deliang still has some understanding of these things. Li Xiao took out a stack of papers, "This is a semi-finished product, and the craftsmanship is still being improved. Take a look."
