Enter the male channel to engage in infrastructure

Steward Feng has always only reported work to the prince and concubine, and has not had much contact with the prince, but he has learned about the prince's temperament from his son.

This time the son came to him personally, he was surprised, but also curious.

Lou Yu's mouth was parched from being baked in a charcoal basin, and he drank a cup of tea before trying to calm down. When he saw Steward Feng coming, he asked him to sit down, and asked straight to the point:

"Steward Feng, how much food does the palace need in a year?"

On the way here, Feng Erbi had already communicated with Feng Steward. Although Feng Steward was puzzled, he said honestly: "Including the soldiers, about [-] shi a year."

Lou Yu continued to ask, "How much money does a stone of grain cost?"

"In normal times, seven qian for one stone, but now the world is a bit chaotic, it has already risen to one tael."

That is to say, for food alone, the palace has to spend nearly 5000 taels of silver a year, not to mention other daily expenses.

It is estimated that a set of clothes and accessories on Lou Yu's body cost hundreds of taels of silver.

Prince Qing's Mansion doesn't have that much money at all!

They can live in luxury now because of the support of the people in Gyeongju Prefecture.

And there was an embarrassing thing, Lou Yu found out that there was no paper in the toilet!

Prince Qing's mansion needs ostentation on the surface, but in private it is impossible to really provide silk cloth for the master to clean up the dirt. They all use toilet chips.

Lou Yu is not used to it.

Back to the topic.

"How much tax does Gyeongju government pay this year?" Lou Yu asked.

Butler Feng chuckled: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry about the expenses of the house, it must be enough."

This means not wanting to answer directly.

Lou Yu didn't force it, and pretended to be angrily said: "We only spend such a small amount of silver a year, but the Huo family is greedy for 200 million taels! You really are a traitor!"

Feng Erbi claimed to be the roundworm in the master's heart, and hurriedly said: "Isn't it! The emperor didn't sentence them to rob and behead all the families, it's kinder. Your Highness should teach that low slave a lesson."

Lou Yu laughed in his heart, the emperor probably had a guilty conscience and was dissatisfied with the execution of his family. He executed General Huo and Shao General Huo, and the rest of his family members were regarded as official slaves, which was worse than death.

Although it is not written in the book, but from Yuanshen's memory, Yuanshen once had a unilateral quarrel with Huo Yan when he was in the capital. After hearing that the Huo family fell, he immediately sharpened his sword and used his relationship to buy Huo Yan. torment.

Not only did Huo Yan suffer severe beatings and humiliation, but he was also separated from his relatives.

After Huo Yan's father and eldest brother and sister-in-law died, his mother hanged herself, leaving only Huo Yan and two nephews and nieces in the family.

Huo Yan made up his mind to protect his nephew and niece, but he was forced to come to Qingzhou Prefecture, and there was no news from them since then.

The two children in the book experienced ups and downs, and ended badly.

Lou Yu praised Feng Erbi with a glance, "You're right, but Huo Yan is a bitch, no matter how much he beats and scolds, he doesn't beg me for mercy, so it's not like he's afraid of death. I'm thinking, murdering people is worse than killing people."

"Your Highness, is there a way?"

"I heard that he also has a niece and nephew. The niece is eight years old this year and she looks pretty good. Why don't you sell it to someone else and come to me and raise her for a few years..."

Lou Yu deliberately showed malicious intent, even if he didn't say the rest, anyone with a discerning eye could guess it.

Feng Erbi: "..."

It really is heartbreaking.

Seeing his niece being defiled by the enemy with his own eyes, Huo Yan must be going crazy.

When did the prince's tormenting tactics become so vicious?

Feng Erbi didn't reply immediately, but took a look at his own father, but his own father was still there, and he would not make a sound if the eldest son didn't ask questions.

He had no choice but to continue to bite the bullet and smile: "Your Highness, after so long, the child may have found his master or gone to the Jiaofang Division."

Lou Yu was very satisfied with Feng Erbi sticking to a certain bottom line, but on the face he said angrily: "So what! I want a female slave, who dares to stop it? You send someone to find it for me!"

The Huo family's family sells it in the capital. This is Qingzhou Prefecture. It really takes a lot of time to find someone to go back and forth. Now that it's winter and the twelfth lunar month, Feng Erbi doesn't want to take up the job, not to mention, he may not be able to find it yet.

But His Royal Highness was angry, and he dared not refuse.

Butler Feng stood up and saluted at the right time, "Your Highness, there are still general affairs to be dealt with in the house. If there is no other order, the villain will leave first."

Lou Yu was furious and waved to him.

Steward Feng turned to leave, and gave Feng Erbi a slight nod as he left.

Feng Erbi was certain in his heart, coaxing Lou Yu: "Your Highness calm down, it's the slave's fault. If you are angry, punish the slave. Don't get angry. I will let the slave do what you ordered!"

Lou Yu glared at him, "Bring that kid back along the way. With a hostage in hand, even that lowly slave wouldn't dare to resist."

Feng Erbi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and mourned for Huo Yan and the two children.

He took the order, feeling a little bit blocked, just happened to run into Feng Sanmo, hurriedly dragged him back to the room, told everything, and finally said: "I have obeyed His Highness's order, but... oh."

Feng Sanmo's expression did not change at all, "The sinful slave of the Huo family, death is not a pity. You will follow His Highness's orders."

Feng Erbi naturally understood this truth, he shook his head, "No wonder Your Highness wants to cure Huo Yan first, or else he really won't be able to hold on at that time."

The so-called new method of torture is to punish the mind.

Feng Sanmo didn't say a word.

Feng Erbi got angry when he saw him like this, so he couldn't help poking his forehead, "You are just an elm head, you don't know how to change things, why do you say that Huo Yan needs to recover from his injuries? What if His Highness mistakenly thinks that you care about Huo Yan's punishment for your crimes?" manage?"

"This is His Highness's order," Feng Sanmo looked at him firmly, "what the doctor said, what I said."

"Forget it, forget it," Feng Erbi said helplessly, "You are too straight for His Highness to like you, unlike me."

Feng Sanmo was too lazy to argue with him, so he pushed him, "Hurry up and do something."

"I know," Feng Erbi rolled his eyeballs, "Tell me, how about I make that kid look ugly on purpose?"

Feng Sanmo didn't even bat an eye.

What Feng Erbi did can't be hidden from the people in the house, but within a day, it spread everywhere.

The people in the house didn't know Lou Yu's "true intention", they only thought that Lou Yu was tired of beating and scolding Huo Yan alone, and went to find Huo's family to vent their personal anger.

Even so, his reputation is getting worse.

When Lou Yu went to the garden to familiarize himself with the structure of the palace, he quietly heard many people talking about it, and Feng Erbi followed behind him with his hands shrunk, with a look of panic.

Just as he was about to plead guilty to Lou Yu, he heard Lou Yu say, "Why are they all saying that the Huo family's criminal slaves are pitiful? Don't they know that they are traitors to the court!"

Feng Erbi could understand the confusion of His Royal Highness, and also understand the mood of those handymen.

As slaves, they felt the same for the Huo family. After all, no one wanted to be tortured by the master.

He habitually echoed: "How can those lowly slaves understand your painstaking efforts? The Huo family betrayed the emperor, you and the emperor are a family, one heart, the emperor's heart is kind, but you can't see it, so naturally you have to teach them for the emperor. "

Lou Yu couldn't help raising his eyebrows, he gave Feng Erbi a high look in his heart, and smiled: "With so many people around me, you still know me best."

He also pretended to be melancholy: "But the people in the mansion don't understand me, but I can't understand them as well."

Feng Erbi deserved to be the most considerate, while secretly laughing that the prince also wanted a good reputation, he shared his worries and said, "What's the matter! Don't worry, Your Highness, I promise that everyone will know your good intentions by tomorrow!"

Lou Yu nodded to express his encouragement: "You are always the safest thing to do."

Feng Erbi smiled happily.

But I heard my elder son muttering: "It's just that I eat a little too much."

He squeezed the meat on his stomach aggrievedly, but his mother said it was a blessing to be able to eat it.Sanmo's body like a bamboo pole was disgusted by his mother.

As he walked, Lou Yu smelled a strong smell of medicine. He followed the smell of medicine and walked forward, stopping in front of a dilapidated courtyard.

Feng Erbi asked: "Your Highness, do you want to go in and have a look?"

This is the worst small courtyard in the palace, there is nothing in it, and the original body doesn't know why, so Huo Yan decides to live there.

Lou Yu guessed that the original body still cherishes the feathers, and he doesn't want others to see how he treats Huo Yan.

Now that you're here, let's meet the hero.

After reading the entire book, he still has a good impression of the male lead, after all, fighting against adversity seems really cool.

The smell of medicine came from the side room, Lou Yu walked to the side room and stopped.

The two young boys inside were squatting on the ground with their heads on their heads boiling medicine, and they didn't notice Lou Yu's arrival.

"A Zhi, A Yan." Feng Erbi called out.

The two were startled, and they were about to stand up abruptly, but because their foreheads collided, they both fell and squatted.

Feng Erbi almost burst out laughing, and quickly suppressed it, secretly looking at Lou Yu's face, seeing that his face was normal, he couldn't help laughing and reprimanded: "You're a slut, why don't you get up quickly to pay respects."

The two saluted sincerely and fearfully.

Lou Yu asked, "Where are people?"

Ah Zhi didn't speak, as if she was too scared to react, so Ah Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and point inside.

Lou Yu stepped in and asked inadvertently, "Do you live in the side room?"

The two of them lowered their eyebrows and dared not speak.

Feng Erbi's thoughts turned quickly, and he knew that the son didn't understand the life of the people below, so he explained: "Perhaps it's the anger of that lowly slave surnamed Huo who wants to be greedy for medicine."

That's right, Huo Yan has no charcoal, so he can't keep warm. If he doesn't do something, he might not be able to survive this winter.

Lou Yu snorted: "He deserved it for being greedy for so much money!"

He changed his mind, instead of going to see the male lead, he turned around and went out. After walking a long way, he gritted his teeth and said to Feng Erbi: "Before the two slaves of the Huo family come, you can't let him die. You let him reward him every day." Just a little charcoal, if you can't die."

Feng Erbi immediately agreed.

After visiting the palace, Lou Yu looked at the sky, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, suitable for going out to play.

"I haven't gone out for a while, and I don't know if the storyteller in Minglou has any new stories. Let's go and have a look."

Youminglou is the No. [-] teahouse in the prefecture of Gyeongju. The storytelling in it is very interesting. Many people know that King Qing's son often visits there.

Lou Yu sat in the carriage and lifted the curtain to look out.

I don't know if it's because it's too cold in winter and the street market is very sluggish, not as lively as it used to be.

There are many ragged beggars in the streets and alleys, staring numbly at the side of the road, unable to even beg.

He frowned and asked Feng Erbi: "Why are there so many beggars?"

In the original body's memory, there should not be so many beggars in Qingzhou Prefecture.

Feng Erbi thought that he disliked beggars, so he didn't care much and said, "I heard from Dad that there were many refugees going south to beg in the snowstorm in the north."

"North?" Lou Yu frowned even more, "Isn't there only Jizhou Prefecture in the north?"

Feng Erbi nodded, "That's right, so we have a lot of beggars in Gyeongju Prefecture."

As soon as the words fell, the carriage had arrived in front of the teahouse.
