Good Life in Qin Dynasty
Chapter 134 – Going to the Autumn Tour Together
"Then you should take care of it too, I will take care of my little nephew!" He trusted him so much, so of course Li Jiyang trusted him too: "There is also Li Family Village, just take care of yourself!"
"Don't worry?" Gan Lei looked at Li Jiyang seriously.
In Gan Lei's eyes, Lijiazhuang has many secrets, such as a lot of grain, poultry and livestock, countless treasures of gold and silver, precious medicinal material ginseng, advanced farm tools and the magical food of tofu.
Li Jiyang, a 15-year-old boy who has not yet grown up, has so many shocking things, if he takes out any of them, he can be replaced by a high-ranking official.
He just handed it over to him?
Although it was a relationship between a student and a husband, he knew that Li Jiyang had a husband, and that gentleman must be a great talent!
"Of course, don't worry." Li Jiyang has nothing to worry about. The only food in the house can be removed, and the things he got out of the storage bag are all placed in the space.
Including the won money at home, all the money placed outside are worthless cloth coins.
No one knows, only he himself knows, in fact, he can even put food in it, but there is no granary at home, if there is no granary, people should panic.
Going to Xianyang City, the children in the family are very excited, only Xiao Ganluo is a little depressed. He wants to stay at home with his father, but his father tells him to go to Xianyang City together!
Although he didn't live in Xianyang City for many days, he never went shopping, and stayed at home with his father all the time.
"You should go. You didn't see or learn anything in Xianyang City that day, so you stayed with me at home. How can you say you have been to Xianyang City?" Gan Lei wanted his son to broaden his horizons , This is what Li Jiyang meant.
Otherwise, a young master, why bother to bring a group of children to Xianyang?
Xiao Ganluo also knew that he was in Xianyang, and he was not even familiar with that street, but he was very familiar with the road from his home to the medical center.
In this way, Li Jiyang took a group of children, under everyone's guard, pulling carts of grain, and followed the old housekeeper to Xianyang City.
This is also the first time Li Jiyang has paid taxes and rations.
The place where the government pays tax and grain is in the east of Xianyang City. There are several large granaries there, which are one of the three granaries in the entire Xianyang City. Now it is half empty. Last year’s old grain has been eaten until now, and there are only these left, but it is new. As soon as the food came, it was filled.
The old butler was handling the whole process, and Li Jiyang took the children to watch the fun.
"Who is this? Bring so many children?" The old official secretly asked the old housekeeper.
"It's my young master. He brought the children from the village here to open his eyes. You also know that this young master will only become a adult next year. After he becomes a adult, he will take care of the family affairs."
"Then don't you?"
"Hey, I can't say that. I'm very happy that the young master can grow up. There is also someone who has the final say in the family to take care of him. We have someone to rely on."
The old official nodded: "Then you can relax. It's hard enough for you without a master in the past two years."
Because the servant is a slave, it is very inconvenient to do things. It is always a good thing to have a master who is a adult, and if he becomes a servant, this tax can be increased by one more!
This time the old housekeeper also paid taxes to Gan Lei, and his taxes were paid by Lijiazhuang.
"This person's tax is paid by the Mansion of Marquis Wenxin." The old official checked the records.
"Wenxinhou Mansion?" The old butler went to Li Jiyang after hearing this.
"Tell them to return Wenxinhou's mansion, and we will pay his tax in Lijiazhuang!" Li Jiyang didn't want Gan Lei to owe Lu Buwei favors.
"Master, it's impossible. It's all written down there, and it can't be changed." Steward Li Zhong knows the process. Qin's laws are so harsh that it is impossible for people to change tax records at will. Can't do it.
"Damn it!" Li Jiyang got annoyed, Lu Buwei!
"But we can make an appointment for next year!" Butler Li Zhong reminded Li Jiyang.
"Yes!" Li Jiyang immediately said: "Tell them, next year, we will come from Lijiazhuang!"
Steward Li Zhong has a friendship with the old official, so say hello to him, and when the taxes and rations start to be paid next year, just tell him, and they will immediately help Gan Lei to pay them too!
"But that's the Mansion of Marquis Wenxin over there..." The old official was also in a dilemma.
"But people are now in our Lijiazhuang, you say, if people know that you collect taxes and grains, you will collect them no matter where they are..." Butler Li Zhong is also a housekeeper. Although he is inferior to others outside, there are still many people. There is a way to make these people obedient.
"Hey, what Steward Li Zhong said, since he is in your Lijiazhuang, of course it is your Lijiazhuang who pays the taxes and rations." The old official immediately changed his attitude.
Wenxinhou's Mansion is big, but it's not as big as Qin Lv!
Butler Li Zhong nodded in satisfaction, and came back to report to Li Jiyang, it's done!
After paying taxes and food, the group went to the newly purchased house.
On the outskirts of the inner city, Li Jiyang didn't see or find the so-called path closest to the gate of the palace, but the house is very big, and it seems that it used to be an official residence.
The inside was cleaned very cleanly, and there were twenty servants, ten men and ten women, all middle-aged, none of them young, and their jobs were cleaning, carrying water and chopping firewood.
Housekeeper Li Zhong cleaned up their bodies, shaved their heads, took a bath, and changed their clothes according to the rules of Li Family Manor.
They also cleaned up their original bedding and threw away it, and replaced it with a brand new bedding, as well as their clothes, which absolutely put an end to all kinds of lice and bedbugs!
These people have no bosses, Li Jiyang thought about it, and discussed with the old housekeeper: "Why don't you let Li Fu come over and be a housekeeper?"
"This is just a private courtyard, Lijiazhuang is my hometown." Butler Li Zhong disagreed: "Li Fu still has to look after the livestock at home!"
In this era, having a big house is nothing, but having a big livestock is considered rich!
The house can't do the farm work in the field?Only big animals can pull plows and carts!
"Should we let Li Xiang come?" Li Xiang is the housekeeper's second son, he is not as powerful as the eldest, and he is not as lovable as the younger, so he is a little taciturn.
"Him?" His second son really didn't pay much attention.
"That's right!" Li Jiyang is still very optimistic about Li Xiang. Although he is low-key, it doesn't mean that he is stupid. He has an outstanding elder brother and a weak younger brother. Knowing that the eldest brother can only live a good life if he inherits his father's position as housekeeper.
And the younger brother also needs everyone to pay more attention to him, so he is very low-key.
"Can it work?" The second son, he really didn't pay much attention to it, he just knew he was a good boy.
"It will definitely work!" Although Li Xiang was taciturn, he was not without success.
In this way, Li Xiang was appointed to be the housekeeper of the Li residence here, and the twenty servants were also handed over to him.
After deciding on this matter, housekeeper Li Zhong stayed in the house to tidy up. What needed to be added and purchased, Li Jiyang arranged for the ten children to live. That's enough, plus it's autumn, it's not very cold, two thin quilts and one pillow are enough.
Because they had just arrived in Xianyang City and it was a new house, they didn't dare to let them go out to play, so they let them run and dance in the yard after washing up, and Li Jiyang also followed to have a look.
This house is a two-entry house. There is a garden between the front house and the back house. To be honest, there is nothing to see in the garden of this era. Mulberry trees are more planted, followed by jujube trees. There is also a corner planted. I planted a peach tree, but unfortunately, it is autumn now, and there are many fruit bearing, but none blooming.
On the other hand, on both sides of the road, many chrysanthemums were planted, which were just about to bloom.
There are early-blooming chrysanthemums, which are golden and look quite festive, but they are a little lacking.
Li Jiyang also followed into the garden. There is also a small lake in the garden, which occupies half of the garden.
Fortunately, the water was clear and there was no bad smell. Fraxinus mandshurica was planted beside the water, and the ground was paved with small gravel roads, but a lot of orchids were planted on the grass.
Li Jiyang didn't have much research on orchid grass, but it looked pretty good anyway.
The children ran around in the garden, and they rummaged everywhere. Even the bowls buried in the soil were dug out, which was very interesting!
"Master...?" Xiao Ganluo felt that it was a bit too much, everyone had fun in the yard, okay?
"Go, see what else you can find?" Li Jiyang smiled and pushed him: "As long as you don't climb the tree into the water, just flip through it!"
Little Gan Luo: "...!"
That's not what he meant!
Although this place is not big, it is not small, and because it is in Xianyang City, the layout is very neat. Although there are no pavilions, it is also grand and elegant.
Li Jiyang wandered around the house for a long time. It was a typical residence in the Warring States period, transparent and bright.
The front yard has a living room, a study room, a reception room and a dining room, as well as sheds for carriages and horses, as well as the residences of servants and a place for them to eat and drink.
There is a bedroom in the study, which can rest in the front yard or go to the backyard.
The back yard is the master bedroom, the second bedroom and the dining hall, the left yard is the guest yard, and the right yard is the place for drinking and watching songs and dances. Li Jiyang had someone renovate the hut. The place was too dirty, and he couldn't bear it without cleaning it up.
It may be that they are used to it in Lijiazhuang, but now that they are in other places, the people in Lijiazhuang can't bear it, so they clean up first.
After looking at the new house and having dinner at night, there were cooks and cooks among the twenty servants. Although the food looked good, Li Jiyang ate too much and didn't find it delicious, mainly because he didn't bring it with him. Come the seasoning.
After the first bite, the ten children all looked at Li Jiyang, the taste was not as good as the one at home!
Chunya didn't follow, she took care of her husband at home, but Li Xiang went to the kitchen without saying a word, and after a while, he brought another food.
The ones that come up are sprinkled with seasonings, and of course they are almost the same as at home.
"Let them take the rest and return it to the pot!" Li Jiyang asked Li Xiang to take the unseasoned items to the kitchen.
"No." Li Xiang went down with his things.
He already knew from his father that he was about to assume the post of steward here.
When eating, everyone ate together, talking and laughing all night, after washing up, Li Jiyang watched them fall asleep one by one before leaving the room.
Early the next morning, before breakfast, Li Xiang came: "Master, the Eldest Young Master has arrived."
"Eldest Prince?" Li Jiyang blinked.
"It's Young Master Yingzheng." Li Xiang reminded him in a low voice.
Li Jiyang suddenly realized: "Let me in quickly! I will greet you in person!"
"No need, I came in by myself!" While talking, Ying Zheng walked in by himself.
"Did you eat something in the morning? Just right, I haven't had breakfast yet." Li Jiyang smiled and pulled the man to sit beside him: "Let the kitchen add a pair of bowls and chopsticks!"
Because Ying Zheng came, it was difficult for everyone to continue to eat at the young master's place, so they used it at their own place, while Li Jiyang let people take his own breakfast and the breakfast of his family.
His breakfast was too vegetarian, and Ying Zheng frowned when he saw it. Like Yang Feiying, he felt that this food was eaten by a young master, not like a commoner!
But Li Xiang's food for Ying Zheng was much better, grilled beef, egg and vegetable soup, and a stack of yellow buns.
This is the food that a young master should use. Ying Zheng cut half of his grilled beef and shared it with Li Jiyang: "Do you eat this in the morning?"
"I like to eat lightly." Li Jiyang frowned, looking at the sizzling beef on the plate.
This is the selected year's calf, the best beef, grilled on the outside, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, sprinkled with seasonings, the aroma is tangy.
But Li Jiyang felt that he couldn't eat it!
"Don't worry?" Gan Lei looked at Li Jiyang seriously.
In Gan Lei's eyes, Lijiazhuang has many secrets, such as a lot of grain, poultry and livestock, countless treasures of gold and silver, precious medicinal material ginseng, advanced farm tools and the magical food of tofu.
