Time Traveling: The Little Hou Ye is the Head of the House

Li Luo's impression of Fu Qiang was that he was very clever and sincere, and amidst his cleverness and sincerity, there was a bit of simplicity.This is the unique atmosphere of rural people. No matter in modern times or in ancient times, this kind of simple and honest atmosphere is hard to see.

Xin Peng knew that Li Luo intended to cultivate Fu Qiang, so he paid more attention to Fu Qiang.Xin Bao is by Lord Hou's side, and it is impossible for him to be Zhuangzi's steward again in the future.He is going to grow old, so he also needs to cultivate reliable people. Since Master Hou likes Fu Qiang, of course he will follow Master Hou's idea.This is what a wise servant should do.

So, after Li Luo discussed with Xin Peng and Gu Steward, the plan was decided.From now on, all wine brewing and trading will be done in the other courtyard of Prince Qi's Mansion.

The other courtyard was left by the prince's banquet, and now it is given to Gu Junchen. Except for Emperor Ning, no one in the world dares to go there, so it is very safe.

And those wholesalers who deal with Li Luo are not stupid.Li Luo's power is incomparable to them, so they would rather obediently wholesale with Li Luo than to plot against Li Luo.Moreover, Li Luo's wholesale business is very benevolent. There is only one wholesaler in each state. In this way, the rights and interests of wholesalers are also protected.

Moreover, the wholesaler also wanted to get a taste of Li Luo's wind, so that if something happened, they would have someone to rely on.

No one in business is a fool.

Li Luo lived in Zhuangzi in the inner northern suburbs for two days, mainly discussing some matters with Gu Steward and Xin Peng, and then arranged for 10 taels of silver.On the day Li Luo left, 10 guards from Prince Qi's Mansion escorted [-] taels of silver and set off to the northwest military camp.

10 taels of silver is really not much, and no blind bandit would dare to rob Qi Wangfu. Besides, there are two hundred guards, all of whom are good at martial arts, and there must be four or five hundred robbers Only bandits can grab this batch of silver.

So don't say that no one knows that the escort is money, even if they know, they don't have the ability to rob.

Leaving Zhuangzi in the inner northern suburbs, Li Luo went to Prince Qi's mansion.The butler Gu wanted to tell him the accounts of Prince Qi's Mansion, the accounts of Prince Qi's Mansion were very messy.After all, Steward Gu was born as a servant, and he is not good at accounting.But the family property of Prince Qi's Mansion is so huge that even Gu Junchen himself doesn't know how many things there are in Prince Qi's Mansion.

The mansion of Prince Qi's Mansion is the largest place besides the imperial palace.It is also the most majestic place besides the imperial palace.In addition to the family property that the prince should have, Gu Junchen's private property, the private property of the prince banquet, and the private property of the former empress were all given to him.

Other courtyards, Zhuangzi, fields... Li Luo looked at the accounts one by one, the land deeds one after another, and he felt that box after box of gold was beckoning to him.

"These are the private trousers of the former empress." The steward Gu introduced, "The former empress was the eldest lady of the Yu family. She married the crown prince at that time. According to the specifications of the crown princess, the crown prince had a dowry of 10 taels of silver, including Zhuangzi, Shopzi. When the First Prince got married, the Ministry of Rituals started, so the dowry of the former empress has not been moved. After ascending the throne today, the former empress rejected the title of empress dowager, moved out of the palace, and went to the monastery."

"The former empress became a monk?" Li Luo was taken aback. "She didn't die?" When he visited the tomb last year, he saw the tablet of the former empress in the imperial mausoleum.

"No, the former empress has passed away. She died in the second year after the civil strife." Gu Guanjia said, "Before she died, she wrote 81 Buddhist scriptures for the prince, and left a decree, asking the temple to burn one for the prince every year." Department. Meaning: peace every year. If it is not for the completion of 81 Buddhist scriptures, the first queen would not be able to survive the second year."

This is the perseverance of a mother, and a woman is strong as a mother.

"The thing she was most worried about before she passed away was Brother Qi Wang." Li Luo sighed.

"Slave thinks so." King Qi is the only blood she has left in the world, even though there are relatives in the Yu family, but it is always different from her own blood.

"I will take care of him in the future." Li Luo said.

Butler Gu smiled: "Young Lord Hou still needs to be taken care of by Wang Ye."

"Is that what your lord said?" Li Luo asked you, "Do you think I need his care?"

Butler Gu couldn't help laughing and said, "Young Master is smart and smart, like no one before. But in the heart of the prince, Young Master still needs someone to take care of him because he is young."

Young?Does Gu Junchen have the right to say that he is young?

"Really?" Li Luo looked at the accounts. The ancient people's accounting methods were somewhat messy and messy.In Li Luo's eyes, the ledger is actually very simple.More importantly, although the accounts of Prince Qi's Mansion are messy, no one dares to corrupt the accounts of Prince Qi's Mansion, so although the accounts are messy, the money is still there. "I will sort out the accounts in the next few days. If there is nothing wrong, don't bother me."

""

Originally, Li Luo planned this way.But the next day, someone from the Hou's mansion had a letter from him and sent it to Prince Qi's mansion.When Li Luo opened the letter, he was a little pleasantly surprised. The letter was sent by the magistrate of Songling County. The villages in Songling County had already settled the issue of rice, and they only had to wait for the rice harvest in May.

This is great news for Li Luo.As long as the rice problem in Songling County is resolved, the Northwest Army Camp will never have any problems with rations, and Li Luo's mind will be relieved.

This time the Songling County Magistrate sent Xiaofu to deliver the letter. As Li Luo's uncle, the Songling County Magistrate felt more at ease with him.Moreover, it is most suitable to use him to connect and stabilize the relationship with Li Luo.

"How is the situation at home? How are grandma and everyone?" Li Luo asked.

"Very good, but...the second sister-in-law had a miscarriage." Xiaofu said.

"Second aunt had a miscarriage?" She froze the treasure in her belly, "How are grandma and mother? How about Zhuang Zhuang?"

"They are all fine, please rest assured, Young Master." Xiao Fu said, "And... and your sister-in-law is also there."

What?Li Luo's eyes widened involuntarily: "Sister-in-law is pregnant? This is really good news. Congratulations to Uncle." Sister-in-law Li is seventeen this year, and it's really good to be pregnant at this time.Moreover, the marriage was only in December, and it is only February now. For the husband's family, it is good news for the new daughter-in-law to become pregnant not long after marriage.

Xiao Fu chuckled, isn't it? It's a man's ability to make a newly married daughter-in-law pregnant so soon.

After Xiaofu went back, he brought a whole load of things with him.

If the land in Songling County is used to grow rice, the fertile land in the Hou Mansion must continue to be planted, otherwise the affairs of Songling County will be easily known, which will not be of any benefit to Gu Junchen.The northwest belongs to Gu Junchen. No matter what happens in the future, the northwest must belong to Gu Junchen.

What about the fertile land in Prince Qi's Mansion?Li Luo thought for a while, the 10 taels of silver was given in the name of Prince Qi's Mansion, if rice was given to the Northwest Army Camp every month, in what name?The fertile fields in the Hou Mansion alone cannot provide so much rice.Therefore, the fertile land of King Qi's Mansion can come in handy.

But King Qi has a lot of fertile land.

Compared with Li Xu's [-] mu of fertile land when he was named a marquis, Gu Junchen's [-] mu of fertile land when he was named a prince.Li Luo looked at the title deed of ten thousand mu of fertile land... "Brother Qi's ten thousand mu of fertile land is in the northwest? Northwest is the fiefdom of brother Qi?"

The steward Gu nodded: "Yes, when the prince was named the king of Qi seven years ago, the former emperor took the northwest as his fief." This was conferred by the prince's banquet.

"If I remember correctly, he is currently the only prince with a fief?" Li Luo asked.

"No." Gu Guanjia said, "All the fiefdoms of the princes who were involved in the civil strife back then have been confiscated, but those princes who did not participate in the civil strife, such as the brothers of Emperor Renxiao, their fief children." Emperor Renxiao, the grandfather of Gu Junchen .

"The law of our country stipulates that the prince can only entrust the land for three generations. The prince, the county king, and the third-class county king. The third-class county king cannot have a son, but it is a clan after all. Therefore, after his death, the third-class county king's heirs must be transferred back. The capital." Li Luo said, "If it is the prince of Emperor Renxiao's generation, then the generation of Brother Qi Wang is the last generation."

"Yes, what the little prince said is very true."

"Then he is the only one of the same generation as Brother Qi Wang who has a fief?" Li Luo asked this.

"Yes, he is the only one of the same generation as the prince who has been made a prince. There are three princes in total, and there is no canonized prince. The brother of the prince is only the king of Lianjun. Because of his humble birth, his mother is a court lady. , so I have to be the king of the county." Gu Guanjia said.

"I know this person. He also escaped the civil strife because of his mother's humble birth. Although the county king is one level lower than the prince, the royal family is still noble." Li Luo said.

"What the young master said is very true."

"It would be better if the [-] mu of fertile land is in the northwest, so all the food towns in the northwest will be handed over to the Qi Palace?" Li Luo asked again.

"Yes, it's all in the ledger." Gu Butler took out the ledger from Northwest Shiyi.

"That's great." Li Luo was very happy, "The pen and paper, I want to write a letter to Songling County Magistrate. What is the use of the [-] mu of fertile land now?"

The steward Gu sighed: "Because the northwest is too far away, the fertile land is rented out, and we only charge rent. But the people in the northwest are very poor, and the rent is very low. In many places, the annual rent for an acre of fertile land is one tael of silver.

But in the northwest, only 500 copper coins are charged.The prince lowered the rent again and changed it to 300 copper coins.But also because of this, they never defaulted in paying the rent.”

"As long as there is no arrears, 3000 mu of fertile land is only [-] taels of silver a year, how can it be enough for the expenses of Prince Qi?" Li Luo thought for a while, "Starting next year, those fertile land will not be rented out, I have use for it."

"Yes, the lord has ordered that the middle-feeding of Prince Qi's mansion should be handed over to the young lord." The butler Gu worshiped this little lord who could make a lot of money with all his heart.

As the prince, Gu Junchen's property is [-] mu of fertile land and food towns in the northwest, and the next is the dowry of the former queen.
