Enter the male channel to engage in infrastructure

Lou Yu didn't sleep well at night, and woke up groggy the next day.

Originally, he wanted to discuss things with his uncle, but his uncle fell asleep, so he had no choice but to go to the government office first.

Now the government officials have completely lost the will to resist.

Guo Lian suffered a stroke and fell down. What can the remaining officials do?

What's more, they didn't have the courage to wrestle with Lou Yu.

When Guo Lian was still around, they didn't dare to disobey Lou Yu's orders.

Lou Yu called together a group of officials, and said bluntly: "You are all officials in Gyeongju, and your main responsibility is to manage the affairs of Gyeongju government, so that the common people can live and work in peace and contentment, right?"

Because he didn't sleep well, his face was gloomy and he looked very difficult to mess with.

All the officials dared not touch him, they all nodded obediently.

"Since this is the case, our focus should be on building the city, not fighting for power, right?"

Officials: Hasn't the drama of fighting for power and profit always been your and Mr. Guo's specialty?

Dare to think but dare not speak.

Secretary of Agriculture Shen Hong cupped his hands and said: "What Your Highness said is very true. Since His Highness sent the chief agricultural officer to teach farming techniques, farmers all over Gyeongju have used dirt, bones, etc. to compost, and there must be a good harvest in the coming year!"

"Shen Sinong must have some insights?" Lou Yu looked at him with encouragement.

He had a good impression of Shen Hong, at least he was a good official who cared about the common people, and he had never been in cahoots with Guo Lian and others before.

As for resisting him to seize power at the beginning, it was just because of different positions.

Looking at his positive attitude now, he must have accepted the reality.

Shen Hong didn't refuse, and said generously: "Your Highness, there are tens of thousands of acres of wasteland reclaimed right now. I don't know if Your Highness has a charter in mind, how to distribute these newly reclaimed fields? How to set up agricultural taxes?"

Lou Yu smiled, "Shen Sinong continued."

"Since last year, there have been about 5000 new refugees in Gyeongju, and most of them have participated in the reclamation of wasteland. Does His Highness plan to hand over the new reclamation land to them for cultivation?"

Lou Yu nodded: "If anyone is willing to settle in Gyeongju, they will naturally distribute the land."

"The spring plowing is less than five months away, and the lower officials believe that the resettlement policy for refugees should be implemented as soon as possible, and they should be included in the Gyeongju household registration before the distribution of the fields."

Lou Yu originally had this idea, but he was delayed by the Beijing party before, he was not around, and Wei Si and others couldn't make up their own minds.

Since Shen Hong raised it now, it means that he is definitely willing to participate in this matter.

He said: "Is it the responsibility of the householder to settle the refugees? What about the householder?"

Si Gong Lu You explained: "Si Hu is seriously ill and has already reported to the Yamen for leave."

"Since that's the case, I will choose another person to take the temporary position of Sihu. Do you have any objections?" Lou Yu asked with a stern expression.

Regardless of whether Sihu is really seriously ill, or he refuses to obey him in the name of illness, from now on, he will never want to hold the position of Sihu.

The longer he stayed in Dasheng, the more cold and hard Lou Yu's heart became.

Everyone shook their heads, how dare they have objections?

After talking about the refugees, Lou Yu turned to the worker, Lu You.

"Sigong Lu, you have always supervised the construction. Now the new city is under construction. I need the cooperation of craftsmen to create new appliances that meet the needs."

Lu You respectfully said: "Your Highness, just give orders."

"The skills of craftsmen are uneven. I need you to conduct a large-scale and detailed screening. There are also some partial subjects. You also need to count them one by one."

These things were all managed by Wei Si before, but now there are more and more refugees and craftsmen, and Wei Si alone has no time to control so many.

This requires apportionment and dispatch, and the tasks are allocated reasonably.

Lu You asked, "I don't know what the selection criteria are?"

"I'll have someone give it to you later."

After explaining the matter, Lou Yu asked everyone to retreat, and ordered Feng Erbi to send someone to call Wei Si over.

Wei Si was busy with the construction of the new city, and when he was summoned, he hurried to the government office and came in panting to see him.

"Greetings to Your Highness, slave!"

The young man was full of vigor, and his delicate face was full of energy.

It is obvious that he is very satisfied with his current job.

"Get up and talk," Lou Yu said with a gentle smile, "A Si, would you like to change your position?"

In the past, Wei Si had to manage both refugees and artisans, and things were complicated and chaotic, but even so, he was able to arrange them in an orderly manner, which is enough to prove his ability.

Wei Si said happily: "Your Highness asks the slave to do whatever he wants, and the slave will do it!"

"Okay, the government office is short of a householder, and you will be in charge."

Wei Si was so startled that he didn't react for a while.

It's not just anyone who can be a government office secretary!

"Why, you don't want to?" Lou Yu asked with a smile.

Wei Si hurriedly knelt down and said excitedly: "I am willing! It's just that your highness, if I come to be the sihu, what will happen to the new city?"

"Don't worry, you are the household manager, and the refugees are still under your management. Except for the refugees, you have to check and approve all the household registrations in Gyeongju. This job is very important. I hope you can do it well!"

No matter what age, household registration work is the most basic and fundamental.

Lou Yu didn't know what the original household registration book of the government office looked like, he just needed Wei Si to sort out a more complete and clear household registration information.

Wei Si was full of fighting spirit: "Yes!"

"As for the settlement of the refugees and the distribution of land, you and Shen Si Nong will handle it together."

"Slave remembers."

"If you have any troubles, just ask me."

"Yes!"

Wei Sixin took office, full of energy.

Although he was not officially appointed by the imperial court, he is a confidant of His Royal Highness!

Based on this alone, other officials dare not give him face.

Before doing the household registration work, Wei Si had to talk to Lu You about craftsmen.

Prior to this, he recorded all the craftsmen who participated in the construction of the new city, including everyone's name, age, address, working time, type of work they are good at, whether they are late or leave early, etc., which are clearly presented one by one.

Lu You: "..."

No matter how calm he was, he couldn't help being moved by Wei Si's rigorous and meticulous work style.

The charts used by Weiss are very novel, clear and intuitive, convenient and practical.

He couldn't help but praised: "Master Wei is so ingenious that he can come up with such a method. In this way, the situation of these craftsmen is clear at a glance."

Wei Si always behaved aloofly in front of others, but when he heard the words, he just said indifferently: "This kind of chart was taught to me by Your Highness."

Lu You: "..."

He stroked his beard and asked again, "What kind of pen did you use to draw these lines?"

Those light gray traces are not ink at first glance.

Wei Si generously took out the pencil case, took out a charcoal pencil from it and handed it to him: "This is also made by His Highness, it is very convenient for writing or drawing diagrams, you try it?"

"Thank you, Master Wei!" Lu You didn't refuse, and accepted it with a smile.

Before Lou Yu entered Beijing, Guo Lian hadn't completely collapsed, so although he often worked in the government office, he rarely ordered the government officials to do some core things.

Government officials have maintained the original working mode.

Since Wei Si entered the yamen, all the officials admired Wei Si's work style and efficiency even though they didn't say anything about it.

They studied secretly, and the fashion of learning diagrams and using charcoal pencils began to blow up in the government office.

Because charcoal pens are easier to popularize than brushes and have more shorthand functions, some miscellaneous officials who were not very good at writing also followed suit and learned to write with charcoal pens.

After finishing writing, I felt a sense of accomplishment, and felt that I was also a cultural person.

Lou Yu also personally compiled a set of standard official document booklets, instructing the officials of the government to study, and any official documents in the future will follow the template of the standard official documents, without any nonsense.

As soon as the standard official documents came out, the workload of the low-level officials was instantly reduced a lot.

As long as a lot of standard official documents are printed, it will be much more convenient and faster for them to register information or report affairs to officials in the future.

The originally dead and quiet government office now has a rapid increase in work efficiency, and everyone is full of fighting spirit and devoted to the rapid development of Gyeongju construction.

In the past few days, in addition to reforming the outdated operating model of the government office, Lou Yu took Jiang Bo and Yuan Ming to visit the old and new cities of Gyeongju Prefecture.

Since the new city was built, there has been an endless stream of business travelers in the old city of Gyeongju, making it a bustling and prosperous scene.

However, Jiang Bo and Yuan Ming traveled all over the world for many years and saw more prosperous cities, so they didn't make a fuss.

But when they saw the new city, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Those gray and austere buildings are really shocking and novel.

The two finally felt relieved.

His Royal Highness has great ambitions, not only the supreme throne, but the Qinghaiyan within the boundaries of Dasheng, where the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Although Shizi didn't say it clearly, the two could feel it from the old and new cities.

The son of the world really cares about the people.

It's not a loss to follow such a person!

After resting for a few days, Jiang Bo finally couldn't hold back, and brought Yuan Ming to the east courtyard of the palace to look for Lou Yu.

"Little nephew, look, your Uncle Yuan and I have been here for so many days, do you want to arrange something for us to do?"

Since he chose to go to Gyeongju, Jiang Bo didn't take Joe, he did what he had to do, and he did what he had to do.

No matter how developed their boat gang is, it is just a messy boat gang with no great future.

And doing things with the son, the son will never treat them badly.

Lou Yu invited the two to sit down and asked Feng Erbi to serve tea.

"Uncle, Mr. Yuan, I really need to ask the boat gang for something."

He didn't hold back, and cut straight to the point: "The population of Gyeongju is increasing rapidly, and the wasteland has not been planted after reclamation. Before the autumn harvest next year, we all have to rely on buying grain to survive."

Yuan Ming understood: "Your Highness wants us to transport grain? But as far as I know, His Highness already has a grain transport team."

"Wang Dayong and the others are not professional boatmen. I was worried that their land transportation of grain would be robbed by bandits, so I changed it to a waterway, but it hasn't been used in time. Moreover, there are no decent big ships in Gyeongju, no experienced boatmen, and no more Compared with Uncle's Chuangang, it really pales in comparison."

The ship gang has large ships, has experience, and has many channels on the rivers and lakes. Knowing where there is food and which waterways have less water bandits, they are definitely more suitable for water transportation than Wang Dayong and the others.

Take this time as an example.

Jiang Bo brought eight ships and transported thousands of shi of grain and goods to surrender, which was far beyond the reach of the Gyeongju fleet.

Jiang Bo said: "Then didn't we steal their jobs?"

Lou Yu smiled and said, "I have other arrangements for them, so uncle doesn't have to worry. As long as there is a good harvest in Gyeongju next autumn, uncle doesn't need to transport grain. Then I have more important things to entrust to you."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Bo was curious.

Yuan Ming had some vague guesses in his heart, and his eyes gradually darkened.

Prince Qing's son is indeed going to accomplish great things.

Lou Yu said solemnly: "I saw that the gang members in my uncle's boat gang are mighty and burly, they can fight with fists and kicks, and they are good at water combat. So, I want to build a navy on this basis."

He didn't do it superfluously.

The army is important, and the navy is of course also the key.

In the past few days, he has learned that after Jiang Bo took over the ship gang, he has grown the ship gang from more than 1000 people to more than 3000 people.

Only a few hundred people came this time.

They are boat gangs, so they naturally have to compete with other boat gangs for the territory of the water area. Fighting and killing are inevitable, and water battles are indispensable.

They are quite experienced in water combat.

If it can be trained systematically, it will definitely become an elite teacher.

It is impossible for Lou Yu to give up on this plan.

Jiang Bo didn't quite understand: "Can you use a navy?"

Lou Yu smiled and said nothing. If you don't need it now, it doesn't mean you won't need it in the future. You have to plan for everything, otherwise, when you really need it, will you have to rush the ducks to the shelves?

What's more, when necessary, the navy can also be used as an unexpected killer, killing the enemy by surprise.

Jiang Bo was able to come to Gyeongju, naturally he had ambitions in his heart. Now that Lou Yu is using the boat gang so much, how could he refuse?

It's a man, and they all want to make contributions!

If the navy really becomes a master, wouldn't he, the gang leader, become a general?

Hey, it sounds comfortable!

After the matter was finalized, Jiang Bo gathered his gang and began to work back and forth on the waterway.

With a professional grain transportation fleet, Wang Dayong and others will have to retire.

Lou Yu summoned them and said, "I have a very important task for you."

Wang Dayong is now completely convinced of Lou Yu.

Just because Lou Yuren was trapped in the capital, but he was able to strategize and suppress Guo Lian to death, it was impossible for the old Yangwu Mountains to underestimate him.

And what Lou Yu did, they all saw it.

Whether it is improving agricultural production or giving preferential treatment to craftsmen, it proves that he has a benevolent heart.

If Prince Qing's son is really honored as a great treasure in the future, he will definitely be a wise king.

The second son followed the son of the world, and he had a bright future!

As long as Lou Yu is not someone who has lost everything, there is great hope for the Huo family to be redressed!

He respectfully said: "Your Highness, please give me instructions."

Lou Yu asked, "Do you know Yao Jin?"

Wang Dayong nodded, of course they knew each other, after all, they had sailed together.

"He has a channel to buy Baiyun flower seeds. I plan to let him go to the Western Regions. You are the Northwest Army and are not unfamiliar with the Western Regions. So I want you to pretend to be a caravan and escort him all the way to the Western Regions."

Lou Yu's prestige is getting worse, and his own ability is a bit unfathomable. No matter what he wants to do, people who are familiar with him will not make wild guesses.

Wang Dayong is also on this list.

In his heart, Baiyun flowers are just flowers for people to enjoy. He doesn't understand why he has to travel thousands of miles to the Western Regions to buy Baiyun flowers.

In the past, he must have felt that Lou Yu was messing around, but not now.

His Royal Highness must have his intentions.

He didn't ask anything, just answered.

"Go down and prepare the luggage for the convoy, and then call Yao Jin over."

After a while, Yao Jin came to see Lou Yu.

When he was in Qizhou, he only knew that Lou Yu should be a noble person, but he didn't expect that Lou Yu was such a noble person!

His Majesty's nephew!

Such a noble person, if he didn't like Bai Yunhua, how could he have a crush on this little person who is low in the dust?

Yao Jin is glad that he kindly reminded Jiang Yong in prison.

If he didn't remind him, Jiang Yong wouldn't talk to him, and if he didn't talk to him, Jiang Yong wouldn't find out that he was a flower seed seller.

He would not have the honor of today.

Yao Jin knelt on the ground piously, not daring to look up at Lou Yu: "The villain pays homage to Your Highness."

"Get up and talk."

His Royal Highness is so kind!

Yao Jin's heart relaxed, he stood up obediently, and looked down at his toes.

"I called you here today because I want you to take a trip to the Western Regions, specifically looking for the planting places of Baiyun flowers, and purchase a large number of flower seeds. The more the better. Would you like it?"

Yao Jin bravely said: "Return to Your Highness, the Western Regions are far away, and the world is in chaos now, I'm afraid the villain is alone..."

"I will send someone to protect you all the way, don't worry."

"Thank you Your Highness, the villain will definitely go all out!"

Lou Yu smiled softly: "Besides, I need you to buy a lot of Baiyun flower petals, the more the better!"

At this time of year, when the cotton is open, Yao Jin and the others will definitely be able to buy a lot of lint when they arrive at the cotton planting areas in the Western Regions.

These lint can be woven into cotton cloth, and can also be made into cotton-padded jackets to keep out the cold.

As long as the people know the benefits of cotton, they will definitely be willing to grow cotton, and he can take advantage of the trend to promote cotton planting.

With enough cotton, not only the common people will not have to be afraid of the cold in winter, but also the soldiers will not have to work hard to fight the cold.

Yao Jin respectfully agreed.

"There is one more important thing," Lou Yu solemnly confessed, "If you find a place to grow white cloud flowers, you must ask the local residents how to grow them, and write them down clearly."

Yao Jin didn't understand why Lou Yu valued Bai Yunhua so much, but he still wrote it down carefully.

This is the first task His Highness arranged for him, and he must do it well so that he can gain face in front of His Highness!

Just like that, Jiang Bo's grain transportation team set off, as did Wang Dayong's caravan, and everything was slowly developing in the direction Lou Yu planned.

After so many busy days, I can finally relax a little bit.

He was lying on the soft couch, Feng Erbi squeezed his shoulders and beat his back, and said with a distressed expression: "Your Highness should take a good rest, you have lost a lot of weight recently."

"It's not thin, it's growing taller."

Feng Erbi muttered: "That's also skinny."

Lou Yu smiled and teased, "You're not good at correcting, alas, I miss Iris a bit."

"The iris is well crafted and looks good. If His Highness likes it, why don't you take it with you when you leave?"

Feng Erbi said sourly.

"Hahaha, why do you even like this?" Lou Yu knocked on his forehead, "It's a fact that your skills are not as good as his. You don't want to learn more, but blame me for praising others?"

Feng Erbi smiled: "Your Highness, I will study hard!"

Suddenly, Ah Yan ran in and said: "Your Highness, the servants of the Guo Mansion are kneeling outside the mansion and begging to see you!"

Lou Yu was stunned: "Guo Mansion?"

He hadn't dealt with Guo Lian for some days, and he almost forgot even Guo Lian.

"What is he going to do?"

Ah Yan shook his head: "I don't know either. The concierge originally wanted to drive him away, but he said that if His Highness didn't see him, he would crash and die at the gate of the palace. There are already people watching the excitement outside the door."

Lou Yu: "..."

He can't let the servants of Guo's mansion make trouble, but he can't just meet each other casually.

If the servant wanted revenge and wanted to see each other after meeting, wouldn't he be too wronged?

Lou Yu thought for a while and said, "Go and call Huo Yan here first."

Huo Yan was training soldiers in the mansion barracks, which was very close to the palace, but after a while, Huo Yan came to the east courtyard with a stern expression in a black uniform.

He already knew that the servants of the Guo Manor were making trouble outside the door, so he came in and asked, "Do you want me to drive them away?"

"no, I'm fine."

Lou Yu leaned on the couch and waved his hands, got up lazily, arranged his hair and clothes, yawned, and told Ah Yan:

"Go and inform Sanmo, let him send someone to take that person to see Guo Tang."

Ah Yan took the order to retreat.

Feng Erbi was puzzled: "Your Highness, doesn't this expose where Guo Tang is?"

"Guo Lian has suffered a stroke, the Guo family is nothing to worry about now, I don't need Guo Tang as a hostage anymore."

Raising one person every day is a waste of rations.

Moreover, he suddenly discovered that Guo Tang had another use.

He said to Huo Yan: "You have high martial arts skills and quick reflexes. When you go to see Guo Tang later, if Guo Tang wants to kill me in agitation, you have to protect me."

This statement is half joke and half true.

After all, he was a relative of the emperor, even Guo Lian dared not harm him openly, and Guo Tang probably wasn't that bold.

Speaking of Guo Tang, Huo Yan thought of Guo Tang coveting Lou Yu.

My heart was inexplicably blocked.

It's like a treasure you love that was almost stolen by others.

His eyes darkened: "Don't worry, I won't let him hurt you."

Lou Yu now has great trust in Huo Yan, and with Huo Yan's guarantee, he is not worried at all.

"When that person goes to see Guo Tang, he will definitely tell Guo Tang about his father's stroke. At that time, Guo Tang will definitely ask to see me and let me let him out."

Lou Yu took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and said, "Tell me, how can I let him go home?"

"Your Highness, let him pay the ransom!"

Feng Erbi is in the middle of a sentence.

Huo Yan also nodded: "The Guo family has been operating in Qingzhou for many years, and I am afraid that they have collected countless money."

"Yes, that's a lot of money."

Lou Yu sighed.

If the money that Guo Lian took from Qingzhou can be spent on the construction of Qingzhou, it can be regarded as a karmic cycle.

As expected, after a while, Lou Yu received a letter saying that Guo Lian was crying and begging to see him.

Thinking of the Guo family's money, Lou Yu immediately cheered up and took Huo Yan and Feng Erbi to see Guo Tang.

He hadn't seen Guo Tang for a long time, and the first time he saw him, his pupils were shocked.

Is this Guo Tang? !

How did he become like this!

The handsome face before was now bulging into a ball, and those unique peach blossom eyes were squeezed into a line by the fat.

How much did Feng Sanmo feed him? !

Guo Tang has been under house arrest for so long, and he has already lost the ability to resist. He eats and drinks enough to sleep every day, so it's no wonder he doesn't gain weight.

He knew that he looked ugly now, and when he saw Lou Yuchu looked even more handsome as jade, he couldn't help feeling ashamed of his appearance, and looked away.

He thought differently from Lou Yu.

Although he resented Lou Yu, he didn't hate him.

He and his father were entrapped, but Lou Yu outsmarted them.

It was all his own fault for falling to this point.

He vaguely remembered that his father had told him that he was going to live in seclusion, and now that his father was paralyzed, Guo Tang had no other thoughts, but only wanted to serve his bedside and take good care of his father.

After Lou Yu was shocked, he didn't talk nonsense with him, and said straight to the point: "Your father has had a stroke, do you want to go back home to take care of him?"

"Yes."

"It's not impossible."

Guo Tang's bloated eyes burst into light, and he stepped forward excitedly: "Really?"

Huo Yan immediately stepped forward to stop him, with sharp eyebrows and eyes.

The warning in those eyes was obvious.

Guo Tang looked at him and silently took a step back.

Probably because it is easier for the same kind to understand each other, Guo Tang keenly discovered that Huo Yan is different from before.

To be precise, the aura was different when he was by Lou Yu's side.

However, he had no time to think about it, and asked, "What conditions do you want?"

Lou Yu was not polite: "How much money your father has plundered over the years, you have to pay back."

"what?!"

Lou Yu frowned: "Don't say you don't know where your father hid the money, you are Guo Lian's only son, can he not tell you?"

Guo Tang's eyes turned red suddenly: "But my father is sick in bed now, if the money is gone, how will we live?"

"Your father is still an official of the imperial court, and the imperial court will pay you a salary." Lou Yu reminded ruthlessly.

Guo Tang wept bitterly: "But since last year, the imperial court has been in arrears of salary from time to time."

It's just that the Guo family is rich, and Guo Lian doesn't care about the little money in the salary.

Lou Yu: Ah, this...

Is the court so careless?

"Except for your father, other government officials can't get their salaries?"

Guo Tang: "I'm not sure about that."

Lou Yu felt a little sympathy for a moment.

It is too miserable to work for the court and still not get a salary.

Forget it as an official, the family has more or less some property to support it.

But some low-level officials are miserable.

Guo Lian can't get a salary himself, so he will pay the salary of the petty official?

impossible!

"I'll leave some money for you to live on," Lou Yu said mercifully, "You can't spend all that money, so what do you keep it for?"

Guo Tang has no room to bargain at all, he knows current affairs better than Guo Lian.

After knowing that his father had a stroke, he understood that the Guo family could no longer stop Lou Yu's footsteps.

"I promise you."

The deal is done.

Before seeing the treasures of the Guo Mansion with his own eyes, Lou Yu couldn't believe it at all, but a small prefect can accumulate such a wealth of wealth.

Looking at the piles of gold and silver, and the boxes of jewels, Lou Yu couldn't help but feel his heart pounding twice.

He tried to warn himself: These are the hard-earned money of the common people, and they should be taken from the people and used for the people!

After several times of silent recitation, the eyes gradually cleared up.

Seeing that his eyes were clear and without desire, Huo Yan couldn't help sighing.

Faced with such gold and silver mountains, how many people in this world would not be moved?

The soldiers carrying the boxes were all blushing and thick necked.

If it wasn't for Huo Yan's tight control, they would have been unable to control the looting.

But the world around him is always different.

Suddenly getting so much wealth, Lou Yu felt pain and joy.

With so much money, he must ask someone to calculate the specific amount, right?

The person who manages the finances must be the person he trusts most.

Lou Yu felt tired when he remembered that he still had a lot of debts to settle.

Just for the construction of the new city, the daily turnover is a huge number.

Wei Si was also in charge of this matter before, but now Wei Si is in charge of the household registration work alone, so he has to find another reliable person to take over.

It's time to train the finance team!

Although he is a salted fish in modern times, he has been familiar with some company affairs after all, and he still remembers the knowledge of financial management.

There is a counting room in the palace.

Lou Yu summoned the accountant to the east courtyard and asked, "How long have you been in the palace?"

The accountant said respectfully: "It has been 12 years since I returned to Your Highness."

Lou Yu nodded, that was quite a long time.

"How do you keep accounts on weekdays?"

The accountant: "The villain will record the expenses and income of the palace in the account book every day, and dare not miss anything."

When Lou Yu first came here, he had read the account books and knew how he kept the accounts.

At that time, he had some headaches when he looked through the account books, but there were too many things to do at that time, and he had no time to take care of them.

Right now he is in urgent need of an efficient financial management model, and this inefficient accounting method is no longer applicable.

Moreover, finance sometimes reflects more than just wealth. An effective financial model can show very intuitive changes in the situation.

Lou Yu asked, "Are you the only one in charge of the house?"

"It is true that there is only one villain," the accountant paused, "However, since the princess returned to the mansion, the princess has let the county supervisor take over."

That is to say, these ledgers still have to be passed on to Lou Quan in the end.

Lou Yu suddenly froze and grabbed his thigh hard.

How could he have forgotten!

The most trustworthy person who can manage accounts, who else is there besides the eldest sister!

Dasheng aristocratic women learn to take care of the house and manage common affairs since they were young, and the elder sister is no exception.

As for his mother, that was an exception.

Lou Quan was smart since he was a child, and learning to manage accounts is no problem, but he has spent many years in the Hou's mansion, and his ability has not been shown.

Lou Yu thought from the bottom of his heart that the eldest sister is so smart, she must be able to learn new knowledge very quickly.

He immediately got up and went to Lou Quan's yard.

After this period of recuperation, Lou Quan is no longer as skinny as before.

She was already beautiful, but when she was in a good mood and nourished by the days, she became even more beautiful.

When Lou Yu came, she was sitting on the porch embroidering, the sun shone on her body, like a beautiful painting.

Lou Yu secretly scolded Xie Ce for his lack of vision, and thanked Xie Ce for his lack of vision.

"Brother is here."

Lou Quan burst into a smile, put down his needle and thread, and got up to greet him.

Lou Yu said apologetically, "Sister, before I came back, I said I would make potatoes for you to eat, but I haven't made them until today. Why don't I cook tonight and let you taste my skills!"

"No need," Lou Quan really felt sorry for him, "You are busy with business every day, how can you have time to do this? It's hard to give yourself a vacation, so you don't get tired."

She can eat anytime.

Lou Yu shook his head: "No, I promise my sister, I must do it."

And after a while, the potatoes germinate and can't be eaten.

He did what he said, and immediately ordered people to fetch some large potatoes, peel them clean, and planned to make a potato goulash.

This cow was bought from Utimu, it is not Dasheng's farm cattle, but it is still edible.

Since completing the first transaction with Wutimu, they have carried out a long-term cooperation.

In addition to horses, Lou Yu also bought strategic materials such as cattle and sheep, cowhide, and tendons from him.

Cowhide can be used to make armor, beef tendon can be used to make bow strings, live cattle and sheep can be raised, and when they grow fat, they can be slaughtered for a feast.

He made a rough estimate.

Today, the storage capacity of Gyeongju weapons and armor has reached a considerable number.

There are also craftsmen such as Xu Sheng, who are secretly making fine knives according to his instructions.

Once these knives come out, they are bound to cause a sensation.

He doesn't have to worry about weapons and armor. Right now, he only worries about the strength of the troops and the combat effectiveness of the army.

He had to discuss these matters with Huo Yan.

He was lost in thought, his hands were scalded by the steam from the pot, he let out a "hiss", and quickly retracted.

Lou Quan came in just in time, and when he saw this, he quickly pulled him away from the stove, his eyebrows furrowed tightly: "Let me see if there is any burn."

"Nothing at all."

Lou Yu didn't think there was anything wrong, but his skin was fair, and it turned red when he was slightly burned. Lou Quan directly said to him, "Follow me to apply some ointment."

"Sister, it's really unnecessary, I have to watch the stove." Lou Yu reluctantly refused.

Lou Quan looked at him quietly, and suddenly sighed in a low voice: "Brother, I know you love me, but I love you too."

"What's so distressing about me? I'm fine!"

Lou Yu didn't feel that he was pitiful.

Lou Quan was both relieved and sad: "It's not just me, even my parents love you. Seeing that you deal with so many things every day, seeing you work so hard every day, but you can't help at all, how can you not feel bad?"

Lou Yu thinks it's good. He used to be the breadwinner of the family, but now he is the pillar of the family. Seeing his relatives live well, he is full of energy every day.

"Forget about parents, they should take care of themselves." Lou Quan paused, "I know I'm useless, but I still want to do something for you."

Instead of looking at my younger brother who is so tired, I have to make potatoes for her.

Lou Yu smiled suddenly.

"Sister, I really need your help with something!"

Lou Quan's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Well, I'll tell you about it after dinner."

After the meal, Lou Yu brought Lou Quan to the east courtyard.

"Auntie, can you handle accounts?"

Lou Quan nodded: "Yes."

She has learned how to host a feeder, so she will naturally keep accounts.

Lou Yu dug out the diagram he had drawn.

This is the income and expenditure statement of the paper mill last month, and he used the usual Arabic numerals.

The raw materials of the paper mill, workers' wages, transportation costs and other costs are all clearly listed above, and the selling prices of jade paper and straw paper are also clearly marked.

In the final total, the profit is clear at a glance.

Although Lou Quan didn't know numbers, he could recognize the characters of each item.

She looked at this flimsy paper in surprise, and analyzed the form carefully, only to feel that the door to a new world had been opened.

For such a thin and light form, it may cost her several sheets of paper to record the information, and it must be messy to remember. It is not as convenient and practical at all!

"Brother, can I learn this bookkeeping method?" Lou Quan's excitement was beyond words.

She never told anyone, she especially likes to settle accounts.

Lou Yu laughed and said, "Sister, I'm going to teach you."

Whether it is Arabic numerals or some simple and easy-to-remember calculation methods, he intends to teach Lou Quan.

He solemnly said: "Sister, I urgently need a trustworthy person to help me manage the accounts. Would you like to help me?"

Lou Quan was startled: "Brother, can I participate in what you do?"

She always wanted to help brother, but she only dared to think of some things within her power, for example, after the construction of Xincheng Textile Factory, she could help brother manage the female workers.

But I didn't expect that brother would entrust such an important matter to her!

Take the imperial court as an example, this is something that can only be done by the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs!

Lou Yu begged: "Sister, I am really short of manpower. You are good at managing accounts and you are smart. You must learn new methods faster than others. Besides, in this world, apart from my parents, you are the only person I trust the most. "

He said so, if Lou Quan backed down, it would be really unreasonable.

She resolutely said: "Okay, I will definitely work hard to learn the new method, and I will help my brother manage the account!"

Lou Yu smiled openly: "Sister, you are so kind!"

Lou Quan was full of energy and high spirits: "Brother, let's start!"

Facts have proved that Lou Quan is indeed intelligent and talented.

She seems to be very sensitive to numbers and calculations by nature. Basically, Lou Yu teaches her once and she can even draw inferences about other cases from one instance.

Lou Yu couldn't help scolding Xie's family for being blind again!

"Sister, I want to set up a financial team to manage accounts for me. You will be the team leader in the future, okay?"

Lou Quan was very satisfied with his studies, with a smile on his face and eyes: "What brother wants me to do, I will do it."

"But talent is hard to find."

Lou Yu sighed.

This involves the issue of education.

When the new city is fully completed, he has to start education.

A long way to go.

In the twinkling of an eye, it entered early winter, and the weather gradually became colder.

Zhang Feng got off work and left the workshop, shivering from the cold, and quickly pulled up his collar to wrap his neck around his neck.

I'm sending monthly money again today, I'm so happy!

Auntie's hand cream is about to run out and she has to buy new ones.Dad's medicine is about to run out, so I need to buy some more.

When he got home from shopping, he smelled meat.

Auntie is cooking meat today!

"Mother, Father, I'm back!"

He put his things down and ran to the house first
