The matter of punishing corrupt slaves inevitably alarmed Princess Qing.

Concubine Qing came to the east courtyard in a hurry, just in time to meet Steward Feng outside the courtyard.

Steward Feng saluted respectfully.

Before he got up, the concubine said coldly, "You've been greedy for so much money for a small purchase, Feng Quan, you've let me down so much."

These years, Prince Qing's mansion has been managed by Feng Quan. Prince Qing is not ordinary at all, and the concubine only likes to practice martial arts. Feng Quan is someone they trust, and such a big mess has unexpectedly occurred.

Although Feng Quan cannot be completely blamed for this. After all, Feng Quan controls the whole house by himself, and there are always things that cannot be taken care of, but he is indeed suspected of dereliction of duty.

Feng Quan's attitude of admitting his mistakes was very correct, and Princess Qing didn't want to say much, she just said: "Since the son asked you to ask questions, you can go in with me."

Seeing the concubine coming, Lou Yu immediately got up to greet her and asked someone to serve her with tea.

"Why are you here, mother?"

Princess Qing has a straightforward temper, "You didn't tell me about such a big incident in the mansion, so why did you come forward yourself? What if you get hurt by that scumbag?"

Concubine Qing gave birth to two daughters, both of whom were married to other places. Now only Lou Yu's youngest son, Cheng Huan, is pampered like jewels like jewels, fearing that something will happen to her.

Lou Yu secretly sighed, although the appearance and temperament of the princess and the modern mother are the same, but the concept is still somewhat different.

In modern times, Lou Yu also has two older sisters, both of whom are excellent women. Although the family dotes on Lou Yu, they are not unprincipled.

But in Dasheng, the difference between a daughter and a son is too great.Yuanshen was destined to be the heir from birth, and he was the one held in the hands of the entire palace, which caused everyone to spoil him without bottom line.

He looked down on the two sisters in his heart, and his relationship with them was quite cold, and he didn't even say a few words.

Because of this, Yuan Shen had no impression of his sister in his mind, and Lou Yu had no way of knowing the appearance and temperament of the two sisters.

"Mother, I have grown up and want to share my worries." Lou Yu quickly changed the subject, "Since Steward Feng is here, I want to ask him a few words."

Princess Qing felt distressed and moved, so she didn't say any more.

If it hadn't been for the fear that His Majesty would cut down the feudal clan, her son would not have been raised so poorly.Only the incompetence of the son can make the man in the capital feel at ease.

But seeing that Lou Yu is so sensible, the princess is honored.

Lou Yu didn't know the complicated emotions in his mother's heart, so he asked Steward Feng: "Did you hear about Lin Sanba today?"

Steward Feng immediately stated his position: "Lin Nu is greedy. If it weren't for His Highness's benevolence, how could he escape the death penalty. The villain has also done this. Please punish him."

He knelt down to plead guilty, and his attitude was very different from the last time we met.

Lou Yu nodded, "It is true that you should be punished, but you have worked for the palace for many years, and remembering the old love, I allow you to take the blame and make meritorious service."

"Your Highness, please give me instructions."

Lou Yu said: "Lin Sanba doesn't want to be bound by slavery, which shows that he is unwilling. There are not a few people in the house like him. You go and call all the servants and tell them that if anyone wants to get out of slavery, they can exchange money for a contract of sale. "

Princess Qing wanted to speak but stopped, thinking she couldn't refute Lou Yu's face in front of her servants, so she endured it.

Feng Quan thought for a while, and asked, "How much money does Your Highness think is appropriate in exchange for selling one's body?"

"According to the number of years, one or two a year."

He had to sell himself back then, but now that he has saved some money, there must be many servants who want to regain their freedom.

Feng Quan respectfully agreed.

After he left, Princess Qing couldn't help but said: "Yu'er, if you let go of those servants, what will happen if there is no one in our house to do things?"

Lou Yu stated the facts: "There is no need for so many people in the mansion. There are many people like Lin Sanba, and I don't have so much energy to take care of them. It's better to let those big-hearted people leave the mansion and keep the mansion quiet."

"But the reduction of servants in the palace, I'm afraid they will be laughed at." Princess Qing still thinks about the face of the palace.

Lou Yu said with a smile: "Mother, we are not afraid of being laughed at, but we are afraid that others will not laugh at us."

"..."

Princess Qing couldn't help pinching his face, and said angrily: "Forget it, it's up to you. When you grow up, you will be in charge of the palace from now on."

13 years old is the age to discuss marriage, Princess Qing thinks it is not a bad thing for her son to take over the palace as soon as possible.

Thinking of discussing marriage, she said: "You are not young anymore, if there is a suitable little lady, I will marry you back to the house for you..."

"Mother!" Lou Yu nodded his head, "We'll talk about this later, I don't want to talk about marriage so early."

He is underage!

Princess Qing couldn't hold back him, she said some gossip, and then left the East courtyard.

The news that the palace was about to release servants spread, instantly igniting the entire circle of servants, and several people in the deserted courtyard also got the news.

Ah Zhi is the closest to Ah Yan, so she can only ask him: "Do you want to leave?"

Ah Yan shook her head resolutely, "I won't go, it's good to follow His Highness."

Ah Zhi stopped talking.

Ah Yan reacted suddenly, and stared wide-eyed, "You don't want to leave, do you? You are stupid! What can you do when you go out? Is there food or shelter?"

"But, but I think..." Ah Zhi pursed her lips and couldn't finish.

He feels that there is no value and meaning here.

Ah Yan obviously didn't understand him, "We have food and drink, and we don't have to do heavy work, what's your dissatisfaction?"

He poked Ah Zhi's forehead, hating that iron can't be made into steel.

Ah Zhi was not very firm at all, but after being poked by him like this, his courage was gone, and he never mentioned leaving again.

After the list was counted, Ah Zhi felt very uneasy when he saw familiar servants leaving the palace one after another. He was so distraught that he almost scalded his hand when pouring tea.

After several days of turmoil, the palace returned to calm.

Lou Yu counted the ransom money of those slaves, and couldn't help but feel happy, this is another income.

After the servant release policy, the number of servants in the mansion has been reduced from more than 100 to more than 60 now.

Among the more than 60 people, there are still the eyes and ears of the imperial court.

Lou Yu pinched his brows.

"Why is Your Highness worried?" Yang Guanghuai leisurely sipped tea and played chess.

Lou Yu sighed, "There are so many people, so many eyes."

He couldn't sit still and do nothing.But it is not a simple matter to deceive the eyes and ears of the court.

Yang Guanghuai lives in the mansion, has been observing Lou Yu's behavior, and has a rough guess of what he wants to do.

Although he doesn't know who the Man of Destiny is, but at present, it seems that the person in front of him is the closest regardless of his identity or ambition.

He said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is well versed in this way, so what is there to be afraid of?"

Lou Yu felt that he was really cunning and cunning, after observing him for so long, he still didn't let go.

"Sir has taught me the agricultural book, and I plan to go to the farm in the near future."

Yang Guanghuai nodded: "If Your Highness doesn't mind, bring Ji'an with you and let the children reunite."

Lou Yu is going to live in the farm for a while, so he needs to prepare a lot of things.

Princess Qing was reluctant to leave while she was being tidied up: "Why do you want to go to the farm? How can there be a mansion there? What do you want to do, just tell the people below?"

"Guo Tang ridiculed me, but I don't accept it." Lou Yu blamed Guo Tang again, "I want to make achievements."

Princess Qing said impulsively, "I'll be with you."

Lou Yu flatly refused: "This is between me and Guo Tang, mother, don't worry about it."

After long persuasion to no avail, Princess Qing had no choice but to give up.

The Grange is located outside the city of Gyeongju Prefecture. Lou Yu took a carriage and took a group of attendants with him to the Grange.

In addition to the four people with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Yang Ji'an, Huo Yan, and twenty soldiers from the entourage were also in the entourage.

The person in charge of the soldiers is Li Shu, who is only in his early twenties and is already the deputy commander of the soldiers in the palace.

He rode his horse to lead the lead, and two of his subordinates moved closer to him, shrugging their shoulders and muttering: "Vice Commander, you said it's the coldest winter, why do you have to run outside?"

"Isn't that right, I froze to death."

"There is no farming in the farm in winter, what is he doing?"

Li Shu's expression darkened, "Don't talk nonsense."

Of course he wasn't happy either, who wouldn't want to sleep in a conservatory in winter?But it is their duty to protect His Highness, and they can't just eat and do nothing.

Lou Yu sat in the carriage and raised the curtain to look at Huo Yan who was walking not far away.

After this period of recuperation, Huo Yan's injury has recovered, Lou Yu was worried that he was alone in the mansion, so he simply brought him here and watched him under his nose.

Huo Yan has sharp eyes and ears, and has a keen intuition. He suddenly raised his head to look at the source of his line of sight, but only saw the small curtain on the side of the window swaying slightly.

In the deserted courtyard before, he vaguely heard someone outside the courtyard mention that Lou Yu was looking for Huo Xuan and Huo Qiong to abuse him, and he almost strangled Lou Yu to death on impulse, causing a catastrophe.

He thought he was doomed, but Lou Yu not only brought him a doctor and medicine, but also let Yang Ji'an live in him, which improved his life openly.

He felt something was wrong.

"What are you doing staring at the carriage?" Yang Ji'an walked beside him, pissing him off, "Are you thinking of hurting His Highness again? I will watch you!"

Huo Yan hit the nail on the head: "You can't beat me."

Yang Ji'an choked, not to be outdone: "I will learn!"

"No matter how hard you learn, you can't beat me." Huo Yan hit him mercilessly.

Yang Ji'an refused to accept: "Why?"

Huo Yan didn't answer anymore, Yang Ji'an was so angry that he kept whispering in his ear.

He was trying to make the child shut up when he suddenly heard Lou Yu's call: "Huo Yan, come here."

Huo Yan was taken aback, Lou Yu never called him by his name seriously, they always called him "cheesy slaves, cheap slaves".

Yang Ji'an pushed him back, "Your Highness calls you, hurry up!"

Everyone is staring at him.

Huo Yan's complexion remained unchanged, and he moved to the front of the carriage. He knew his current identity and should say "Your Highness, please order", but he couldn't say it at all.

Fortunately, Lou Yu didn't make things difficult for him, he just said, "Drive the car for me."

Coachman:? ? ?

Others: Is this going to humiliate the son of the former general again?

Huo Yan clenched his fists.

"You don't want to?" Lou Yu lifted the curtain and said condescendingly, "Huo Yan, do you still think you are the son of a general?"

Huo Yan raised his head, his starry eyes were deep, without any compromise.

He wanted to try and see what the prince in front of him would do.

"Two choices." Lou Yu's white face was covered in fur, and he was as handsome as a fairy, but his words were full of malice, "drive for me, or run to the farm after Li Shuma."

Li Shu:?

Everyone knew why Lou Yu took Huo Yan with him, it was just for the pleasure of torturing him when he was bored on the road!

Running with a horse in the winter, isn't it torture?

They sympathized with Huo Yan in their hearts and dared not say anything.

Huo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Without hesitation, he turned and walked towards Li Shu.
