Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 513;

Chapter 510;
Mrs. Liu evilly guessed about the maid Ling'er's..., the maid next to her came up and said;

"My lady, it may not be easy for her, Xiaoniang Lin, to secure her position as chief steward. Our Li family now has 21 surnames and a population of tens of thousands. She has the ability to arrange the inner house in the backyard?

Anyway, the servants don't believe that she has such supernatural powers. I'm afraid she hasn't even figured out which servant is from which family? "

Another maid next to her also interrupted;

"That's right, so what if she, Aye, has entered the household registration of our Li family's imperial army? The Lin family of the imperial army is not welcomed by old Alang, otherwise why would he hand over the important matters of the guards in the mansion to Liu Daguan ? Even with the Lin family, I’m afraid they won’t be able to command too many clansmen.”

After several third-class maids chattered, Yuqin, the second-class maid who was on duty next to her, frowned and said;

"To report to the chief steward, the most urgent thing to do is to ask the old lady first, to see what the old lady said with the people of the Lin family today, and what things were achieved, so that we can prescribe the right medicine here, what do you think, lady?"

"That's right, Yuqin, you are right. Immediately arrange for people to go to Aniang for advice and report back."

"It's a lady."

The second-class maid, Yuqin, turned around and ordered another foodie, Yingying;
"Hurry up and go back to the old lady's room, ask the old lady to see what happened today, don't delay, come back and report it immediately after you figure it out."

"No, don't worry, sister, I'll go and find out right away."

The foodie Yingying promised and took two maids who were not of the same rank to go out in a hurry.

Madam Liu asked with some concern;

"Yuqin, tell me what's going on today, the two idiots Yingying and Linger happened to be sent out, so don't mess up the errand?"

Yuqin, the second-class maid on duty, replied with a smile;

"Miss, don't tell me I haven't paid attention to these things, isn't that true? But don't worry, ma'am, although they both eat and sleep well, they have never made any mistakes during their errands over the years."

The young lady of the Liu family nodded and thought for a while before continuing;
"Well. That's good. Don't be afraid of eating or drinking, as long as the errands are done well. By the way, you can arrange some more people to see when the patriarch will come back. If you come back, hurry up and report it. How do I feel? It looks like something big is going to happen today, but the left eye keeps twitching, and there is no score in my heart, what do you mean?"

Yuqin agreed with a smile;

"It's the chief steward, and this servant will arrange it right away, but don't worry, the left eye jumping for money is a good omen. If you are not short of money, the chief steward, you must have the right to jump. I think it will be beneficial to come today."

After Yuqin finished speaking, she immediately arranged for two third-class maids to take the troops out to wait in the front yard, waiting for the patriarch to come back...

It is said that today when Li Yu went to Zou Shuyi's house, Manager Zou led Li Yu to visit and inspect the rice seedling cultivation room. Looking at the green seedlings, Li Yu was very satisfied, indeed everything was carried out according to what he proposed, If this goes on, it will take about ten days to plant and throw rice seedlings.

Li Yu stood in the seedling cultivation room and muttered to himself;

"From this point of view, rice seedlings can be planted in about ten days. We must hurry up and warm up the water. If we delay any longer, it will be too late."

Zou Shuyi hurriedly interjected beside her to respond;

"My lord, the registration of the population of our surname Zou has been completed, and we can start farming at any time, and we must not delay the crops. Of course, we must focus on crops when we grow crops."

"Oh? So fast? The household registration was done in two days?"

"Yes, sir, for two consecutive nights, many people didn't sleep a wink. Everyone knows that the gentleman has to finish his household registration and go to work on major affairs in the field, so no one dares to delay. I, Aye, and those elders They all take turns to rest for two hours, and dare not stop."

Li Yu nodded;

"Sure enough, it is right to choose Old Master Zou as the head of the family. I know that the old master is practical and serious. Let's go and see where the old master is and how far he has progressed."

"No, if you go back to Mr. Lang, every time you register your household registration, you will immediately take it to the steward Ji Da for verification. Now that the household registration is settled,
The 100 people who want to organize to learn the family rules have all been implemented. They all study the rules and family laws at my brother's house every day. My brother reads them sentence by sentence to the [-] people.
In less than three days, we can learn the family rules of our Li family, and then each of these people will teach one family, and then move on to the next family after the church. The patriarch can rest assured that each family can memorize and learn it well.

Now all that remains is to select elders. Among the households surnamed Zou, there are a total of 23 elders who are old enough to be clear-headed and able to distinguish right from wrong recommended by the selected households.

According to the requirement of forty elders, the patriarch, you are currently selecting the remaining number. "

A group of people came to Aye Zou Shuyi's house while they were talking, because Mrs. Zou and the old lady lived together, and the children were divided into separate houses, so this house belonged to Li's youngest house.

The set of Jingzhai has only a small courtyard, facing south from the north. There are three main rooms on the top, the main hall is slightly larger in the middle, and two smaller rooms are divided into two sides. The small yard is very clean.

There is hardly any dust on the cement floor of the whole yard. Two sweet-scented osmanthus flowers are planted in the middle, and some flowers and plants are placed under the eaves of the main hall, which is simple and neat.

Li Yu entered the small courtyard, surrounded by many people, who were arguing fiercely, and no one paid attention to the few people who came in at the door.

"Parents, the third child of the Qi family is only 53 years old this year. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to stand for election as an elder with the same surname at such a young age?"

"Yes, patriarch, Qi Laosan is too young at this age, I am afraid that people below will say that we are all here to fool us when we deal with errands?"

Several elders were scrambling to make speeches, and they were all skeptical about the name being reviewed. An old man in his sixties and seventies sitting in the main hall took two puffs of dry tobacco, exhaled the smoke and raised his head;
"Personally, I think it is possible. First of all, the patriarch also explained that you can run for elders if you are over 53. The brothers of the Qi family are over [-], and they are [-]. Although they are not very old, they still meet the conditions mentioned by the patriarch. up.

Secondly, Brother Qi's character is also approved by many people. There are no neighbors who do not come to admire him, and he has also taken care of the affairs of many families. System, I personally support him, and I vote for my brother. "

At the top sits an old man in his 60s, wearing brand new clothes made of silk and satin material. The old man nodded and spoke unhurriedly;
"I don't want to say more, everyone has discussed this person's virtues, and there is almost no second opinion in terms of character, but I feel that he is too young, and I am afraid that he will not be able to convince the public, so let's not say more about it.

According to the method explained by the patriarch, all 24 of us came to vote to decide whether to stay or not. If we agree more than we disagree, we will stay as an elder and ask him to come and start working as an errand just like us.

If the number of disagreements is greater than the number of approvals, then let it go temporarily and proceed to the review of the next name. If the number on both sides is the same, the old man will go to the mansion to meet the patriarch and ask the patriarch to help make a final decision. After all This is the elder chosen for our Zou family's surname. He is not looking for errands or meat buyers, so it's better to be cautious. "

This well-proportioned old man is Zou Shuyi's Mrs. Aye Zou. This person has a very clear mind and a lot of knowledge. He used to be a professor in a private school in a big family.
With superior character, good morals, and fair conduct, he was named by the patriarch of Li's Second Household to be the head of the newly opened Zou family, and he is also a figure that everyone expects in the eyes of these refugees.

The head of the Zou family decided the matter as soon as he opened his mouth, and everyone began to show their hands to vote. From the very beginning, they were chosen as the nephews of the two Mrs. Zou who recorded the affairs of the Zou family. They sat on both sides of the main hall, holding Maobi has just recorded the words spoken by the elders in Zou's diary, and is about to record the opinions of the elders, who agrees and who disagrees.

Li Yu waved his hand, not wanting to interrupt what was going on inside at the moment, a few people stood outside the crowd listening to the excitement, the crowd was also very focused on looking inside the main hall, many people were checking the numbers.

The two middle-aged men who took the record nodded after writing their names. The elders saw that the record had been written, and then they put down the dry old tree bark and bone claws that they had been holding up for a long time and started to feel sleepy.

"Uncle Qi, the count is done. Adding you to the agreed number, there are a total of sixteen father-in-laws. There is one elder, 15 elders, and the eight who did not raise their hands are all elders in our Zou family. The report is over. Parents, please decide."

Old Master Zou nodded;
"Yes, I see. Send someone to notify this family immediately. I will come over with the other six people on business in the afternoon. Don't delay the affairs of our Zou family, let alone delay the important affairs of the patriarch."

Zou Shuyi's younger brother immediately agreed;
"It's Aye. I'll go out and arrange some people in a while, and tell Elder Qi to come over in the afternoon."

Old Master Zou picked up the book in his hand and read it;

"Next, Boss Zhou of Xiao Wangzhuang's Zhou family, everyone who knows the background, let's talk about it."

As soon as Old Master Zou finished speaking, an elder immediately spoke first;
"Parents, this one is not good. This person lives in the same Zhuangzi as me. I have also seen him come forward to resolve the disputes between the two sects. When dealing with them, he has an extreme personality and is a bit left-handed. He always uses his own ideas. If the standard of doing things loses the sense of justice, I am afraid that it is not suitable for the position of elder."

"That's right. My children and relatives also live in the village behind. I've heard of some of them, which can prove that Elder Wang's words are not nonsense."

Old Master Zou didn't wait for others to speak, he picked up a brush and ticked off the book, and wrote some small characters...

Needless to say, everyone's elders are doing this, this person definitely has no hope of competing for the eldership, but I don't know if this person will be half dead when he hears that he and the eldership have passed by?
Li Yu is very satisfied, as usual, he can get the number of elders surnamed Zou together today. It can be seen that this group of people are very serious, and they are doing very well and standard. It also added Li Yu's guiding ideology, which is quite advanced in the world of Tang Dynasty.

Li Yu silently pulled Zou Shuyi out of the crowd and out of the clean and tidy courtyard, Zou Shuyi asked softly;

"Didn't Mr. Lang say he wanted to go in and see the progress? Why did you back out again?"

Li Yu responded with a smile;
"I've seen it, so you don't need to go in and disturb their important affairs. It seems that your elder Zou will be almost in order today, and the progress is really fast.

Under the leadership of you Aye, the elders are also very active in handling the affairs of the Zou family. As long as the elders are tidy, they can start to divide the number of households that each elder needs to be responsible for.
After the division is completed, if each household has something difficult to decide, it can ask the elders to come forward to solve it like the other nineteen surnames.

In addition, if there is any matter in the clan, it can be passed on quickly after being explained. The Zou family's surname has taken shape, and the speed is much faster than I imagined. The farmers are also actively participating. I am very satisfied with all of this. "

Zou Shuyi's Aye was so affirmed by the patriarch, of course he was very happy, and the farmers finally entered the Li family's household registration according to their own guesses and expectations.

Since then, they no longer have to worry about food and clothing, and they have become a family of their own, with the Zou family as the leader. Therefore, the refugees are very devoted to the affairs of their family, and they respond to thousands of people with every call. answer……

"It's good that the patriarch is satisfied. It's already noon. Would you like to go to my place for lunch? Or if the patriarch is not tired, we can go to the fields by the river to have a look."

What Zou Shuyi actually thinks about is not about eating, but what she thinks most about is farming. Farmers are in their own way, and Zou Shuyi is the only chief steward in the Zou family. She has always been a focus of attention.

However, since she became a big manager, she hasn't really done even one thing that can be shown on the table. Many people say that she will take the team out to collect chicks...

Because Zou Shuyi took people out to buy all the big chickens that the five Zhuangzi ran all over the place now, and some people secretly called Zou Shuyi the chicken manager, but Zou Shuyi was very angry!

It was rumored in private that she would use her beauty to seduce the young and ignorant patriarch, so she won the position of chief steward, and she was also a very important chief agricultural steward in the Li family. The three of Zou Shuyi and her brother couldn't even do a second job well, so why bother talking about a big job?

This series of gossip was naturally passed on by Zou Shuyi's caring subordinates, especially in the past two days when Zou's surname became a refugee, the leader of the refugee faction, the voice of discussion became more obvious!

Some ignorant people even proposed that everyone speak up together to ask the patriarch to remove Zou Shuyi's power to manage affairs, and ask capable people from the refugee school to come forward.
He also said that the farming manager only has pocket money, eats and does not work, and the fields have been deserted since they were plowed, and some people have long been impatient!
Farmers don’t want to grow crops, they leave the best fields empty and deserted, but they feel sorry for many clansmen. These rumors have been spread for two or three days, and Zou Shuyi is so angry that she wants to vomit blood.

She hid in bed and cried several times in private. What she is most anxious about now is to quickly use the land and quickly start cultivating crops, so as to block the crowds. Look, I, Zou Shuyi, don't just use beauty to seduce people...

Therefore, Zou Shuyi intentionally or unintentionally wants to get the patriarch to the field by the river to check the vacant first-class land.

Li Yu didn't know about these twists and turns, but it was indeed still early. It was close to noon here, which was almost eleven o'clock at noon.

"I ate a lot in the morning, and I'm not too hungry at the moment, why don't we go for a walk by the river, and see how the plowing is done."
