Time Traveling Routine Movie King

"My brother-in-law, Zhao Pu, is from Lin'an. He was born as a scholar. He has been serving as a steward in the old mansion of Cao Zhenge in Yangzhou. Cao Ge's old man traveled to the immortals this year. Both of his sons were officials outside, so he sold the house and dismissed the servants. My brother-in-law has always yearned for the prosperity of Bianjing, so the whole family came here." Mr. Yu gave a brief introduction, explaining clearly the background of his brother-in-law.

Shen Bai nodded, although it is impossible for the other party to sign a death contract with him, at least there are many talented people in this era, freelancers, and he doesn't care about it.

"Then invite him to come to the house to have a talk."

Mr. Yu replied: "He has been helping just now, and he is waiting outside the house. I will call right away."

"Okay!" Being able to predict things first, Shen Bai was very satisfied with Mr. Yu.

Not long after, Mr. Yu brought a 30-year-old man in a beige robe and a square scarf on his head.

"See Mr. Shen." Zhao Pu saluted Shen Bai, neither humble nor humble, and he grasped it very well.

Shen Bai asked the two to sit down, and asked: "What was Mr. Zhao in charge of in Ge Lao Mansion before?"

Zhao Pu returned: "I am also in charge of the Zhuangzi farmland outside, Yangzhou Fujia, and some shops."

"Oh." Shen Bai thought it was good: "Then what does Mr. Zhao think of the farmland in Bianjing?"

Zhao Puwen shook his head: "Bianjing is a prosperous place, the first of the four capitals, with a population of one million, and the land price is too high, so it is not suitable for farming. It is good to grow some seasonal vegetables in the fields outside the city to supply the city. If you want to produce, you can Buy land along the Bian River along Shouzhou, Chenzhou, Caizhou, and Luzhou, and after mass production, it will be transported by water, and the selling price will be higher.”

"That's right, sir, you're very knowledgeable." Shouzhou and Luzhou left Henan and went to Anhui. They belong to Huainan Road. The land is not expensive, but it is indeed the main producing area of ​​grain.

"Miao Zan, my son, I have tried and failed many times, so I have done some research on merchants. Since the emperor came to the throne, the new policies implemented have greatly helped farmers and merchants, and it is a good time to flex their muscles." Zhao Pu said a few words The words reached Shen Bai's heart.

"It's really a blessing for Shen to meet Mr. Zhao. Mr. can arrange for family members to live in the east courtyard of my mansion immediately, and then come to my mansion to be the second steward!" Shen Bai said.

Mr. Yu was overjoyed when he heard that, he stroked his goatee lightly and smiled.

Zhao Pu stood up and returned very sincerely: "My son is an uncle of the country. It is really an honor for me to appreciate it. But I have a few points to clarify."

"Sir, please speak."

"One, although Zhao is not talented, he will continue to take the exam, so he will not sign a death contract with his family."

"I know this." Shen Bai nodded.

"Secondly, if I have the opportunity, I will still take the exam, but I will never delay the affairs of the mansion. If there is any conflict, I will leave on my own initiative."

"Studying and taking exams is a common occurrence, and it is also the way out for scholars. Naturally, I will not object."

After Zhao Pu listened, he paid respects: "Then I have nothing else to ask for, thank you for your understanding, my lord."

Shen Bai stood up and went up to help him up: "I only hope that the master will help you a lot in the future, and I will be a worthy person."

"Thank you sir!"

Zhao Pu and Mr. Yu agreed to go back and tidy up, and agreed to move in in the afternoon.

After sending the two away, Yuemei came back and said that there happened to be official slaves for sale, and Ren Yazi had brought over a dozen for him to pick out in the front yard.

There was no way to buy and sell people in ancient times. If he really wanted to buy and sell people as goods, he felt a little bit conflicted in his heart, but thinking that he was already in this time and space, if he couldn't adapt, how would he survive?

After thinking about this, I got up and went out.

In the front yard, accompanied by Uncle Zhong, when they saw Shen Bai approaching, the two greeted enthusiastically: "See Mr. Shen."

"Which families have let people out recently?" Shen Bai was talking about the source of the official slave business. The children of ordinary people's families would not sell themselves to sign a death contract if they could not live on. In ancient times, when loyalty and control were required, a large number of family members of criminals and officials or domestic slaves became the source of death contracts.

And these people have stayed in large families, and the prices are much higher, especially in the Bianjing area, and it has become normal for such house slaves to flow in the big houses.

"Back to Mr. Shen, recently because of the salt tax reform in the south of the Yangtze River, a large number of household officials have been held accountable, and many of them have been demoted. We really have a lot of people in our hands." The woman who spoke was in her fifties, wearing a The blue scarf, with long pheasant feathers inserted on the top of the scarf, represents the identity of Guan Ya.

Shen Bai followed her hand to see that the two groups of people in the courtyard were each with two teeth.

The first one is the household slave of the household official that the old lady said just now: "The few people inside are standing obediently, bowing their heads humbly and submissively. A man stood by."

The other boy looked at it and felt something was wrong in his heart. Shen Fu said to buy four servants, so he bought three, so he couldn't help being a little anxious.

Shen Bai naturally saw his expression, and turned his head to look at the person he was leading. Inside was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, dressed in ordinary white bunt, with a trace of sickness in his face, but that sick face Concealed by a pair of disdainful eyes, what was revealed in the eyes was a look that was above indomitable, it seemed that there was a sense of disdain for everyone in the Shen residence.

Nan Yazi saw Shen Bai staring at the boy, and kicked him over.

"Mr. Shen, ignore him. This man is a cheap man. If he doesn't beat him for three days, his whole body will itch."

"Which mansion is he from?" Shen Bai asked curiously.

"The one who came out of the Duke An's mansion is a scumbag who can punch and kick."

"An Guogong's mansion?" Shen Bai thought about it: "Is An Guogong a general?"

After hearing this, Nan Yazi bowed down and laughed along with him: "No, but his in-law Dongpinghou is a military commander who has been guarding the border in the Northwest Protectorate."

"Oh." Shen Bai nodded and looked at the boy: "What's your name?"

The boy raised his head, and looked at the person in front of him with a pair of clear eyes: "Xiao Yan."

"Leave him here." Instructing Yuemei, Shen Bai turned and went back to the study.

Those kind of eyes reminded him of a former college roommate who also had the same kind of eyes, and always looked at people with an expression of indifference; when he first saw him, he seemed to have this same look of disdain for looking at people. On the other hand, he was a happy and simple person. Unfortunately, after graduating from university, he worked in a chemical factory. Later, he got involved in chemical agents because of skin damage, and finally died of leukemia.

If this gentleman is not dead, maybe he will replace Guo Qi as his best friend!

If you don't think of it, it's just a sigh.

It left a trace of curiosity to everyone in the front yard, and it also caused Xiao Yan to look up at Shen Bai's back.

In the palace, Concubine Shen Gui couldn't help but nodded after listening to Li Qianhu's detailed report, feeling that Shen Bai had finally matured after undergoing some changes.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor will come over tonight." Eunuch Quan came over and replied.

"Okay, you arrange it." Concubine Shen is deeply favored by the emperor. The emperor's third son, the eldest son is a concubine, and the second prince is in poor health. Only the third prince is the emperor's flesh and blood, and he is also the heart of the court.

"Master, the servants have been arranged, how about Xiao Yan?" Yuemei came over and replied.

"He's not in good health, just look at my yard and the door of the study, let's take care of him first!" Shen Bai thought for a while and said.

After lunch, I took a short rest.

Yuemei brought four servants who had changed into new clothes, and the other two servant girls were arranged in the front courtyard and one in the east courtyard, and the other male was waiting for Zhao Pu to arrange.

Xiao Yan looked in Shen Bai's study, and Shen Bai saw his eyes.

"Are you literate?" asked the person sitting on the teacher's chair.

"Know better." Xiao Yan knew Shen Bai's arrangement for him, although he didn't express any gratitude, but at least his eyes were much better.

"Let's take care of it in the study from now on!" Shen Bai personally ordered.

Xiao Yan clasped his fists in response, showing a bit of the vigor of a sergeant like Li Qianhu.

When it was time to arrange the others, Xiao Yan guarded the door.

Shunzi talked back and forth, saying that Zhao Pu's family had come.

As the host, Shen Bai invited them to meet in the study, so he didn't go out to greet them again.

Not long after, Zhao Pu came with a 27-year-old young woman, followed by a four-year-old boy.

"See you young master." Zhao Pu saluted with his family.

"You're welcome, you all go and settle down first." Shen Bai said, looking at the little boy who looked at him curiously after saluting, his black eyes were full of curiosity, which made him very fond of it.

Standing up and squatting down, he asked the little boy, "How old are you, and what's your name?"

"Four years old." The little boy stretched out his chubby hand to make a four, and said in a childish voice, "My name is An An."

"Oh, An An is so good." Shen Bai smiled, picked him up and touched him, and took out a white jade Guanyin pendant from the desk drawer as a gift for him, in exchange for An An's cute smile.

Within a day, the inside and outside of Shen's mansion took on a completely new look, and finally ushered in a new beginning.
