Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 712;

Chapter 660: Han Yingxiang's prestige
Lijiazhuang, Lantian County, the front yard of the Hou Mansion in Jianguo County.

It has been three days since Li Yu came back to receive Master. Every day is a big or small banquet. The etiquette is very good. After three days, it will be back to normal. Li Yu is sitting in the side hall on the west side of the front yard, After drinking two pots of tea, he stood up.

Now there is Mrs. Liu in charge of the mansion, the front, middle and back courtyards are arranged in an orderly manner, Li Yu also adjusted the holidays for his remaining seven personal first-class maids, and the seven are on duty in turn. It is Han Yingxiang these few days, look When Lang Jun got up, Yingxiang smiled and stepped forward;
"Do you want to eat at night, Mr. Lang? You don't need to move around, come here! Ask the kitchen to serve food."

"It's a lady."

"Oh, no need, I'm not too hungry, just go out for a walk in the village, it won't be too late when I come back."

Li Yu was about to go out when a servant ran in;
"Report to my lord, there is a letter from General Qin."

Li Yu sank her butt down again, and Han Yingxiang next to her stretched out her right hand;
"Oh, bring it."

"It's a lady."

"Go down."

"It's a lady."

"My lord, please check the wax."

"Ah."

"Li Yu checked it again, then opened the letter, read it carefully and handed it to Yingxiang to keep."

"The matter of farming together with the imperial court has finally been accomplished. This is not the work of one person, but the work of the civil and military ministers of the Qin Palace."

Yingxiang brought the maids in the room together to salute;
"Slave servant congratulates Mr. Lang, congratulate Mr. Lang, finally the wish has come true."

"Okay, okay, everyone is happy, everyone is free."

"Thank you sir."

"Let's go, I'm in a good mood this time, and I can feel more at ease when I go out and walk."

"Yes."

Han Yingxiang casually ordered a few maids to follow her, and then waved her hand. A servant immediately ran out and arranged for the guards to follow her. When Li Yu reached the gate of the mansion, dozens of guards living in the concierge had already followed her out. .

In fact, the dusk of spring is still very early, the village is full of households gathering together, and the two foaming mouths who have traveled far away are talking about rare things from all over the world, and the children are dumbfounded!
A capable person who just stopped talking suddenly found Li Yu outside the crowd, and stood up happily;

"The patriarch is here, and the villain pays his respects to the patriarch."

"where?"

"What? The Patriarch has come out?"

"Oh, it's really the Patriarch, meet the Patriarch."

Li Yu cheerfully stretched out his hands;

"Okay, okay, don't be busy, sit when you should sit, and squat if you should squat."

After Li Yu finished speaking, he picked up a two-year-old boy and sat on a stone pier;
"Go on, you enjoyed what you said, and I also enjoyed listening to it, let's talk about the new things in Lingnan."

The old man who traveled far and wide quickly agreed;

"It's the patriarch, bastard, come down quickly, you bastard, why don't you take you with you, don't tire the patriarch."

The boy in Li Yu's arms hugged Li Yu's neck tightly, and responded in a childish voice;

"Grandpa, I, Aye, went to catch rabbits and said that I will make rabbits for me tonight. My grandson doesn't want to come down."

"Oh, you suffocating grandson..."

"Hahahaha, tell me what you want, this kid is smart, I'll hold him for a while longer."

The old man was so happy from ear to ear when the head of the family praised his grandson;

"It's the patriarch. You don't know the patriarch. That year, the villain followed Alang to Lingnan and walked for more than three months. Our extremely precious ivory is in the south of Lingnan. It's so powerful that it's not worth it. How much money, you can exchange for pearls, ivory, and rhinoceros horns with whatever you want! The villain is not talking nonsense!"

Listening to the old man's words, many people in the clan were overheard;

"God, can these be exchanged?"

"What do you want in exchange, Third Uncle?"

"How much grain does this cost?"

"I know, what you said is the truth. The ivory and all kinds of rare things in the backyard are probably the ones you exchanged for that time, right?"

"That's right, sir, it was those two changes. You don't know, sir, that Lingnan has a huge territory. From the south of Lingnan to the north, it takes thousands of miles of land. What a pity.
There are all uneducated tribes there, many of them still live in caves, they have few houses, and they don’t know how to grow food. Thousands of miles of good land were wasted. I remember Alang said that if he bought all the land It is a pity that a piece of land in the south of the Lingnan can grow the grain of the whole north in a year if it is planted with millet. "

Li Yu was taken aback when he heard this, and thought to himself, isn't it? At this moment, Lingnan is vast and sparsely populated, which is equivalent to the entire territory of Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, and parts of Hunan, Jiangxi and other provinces in later generations. It is indeed not small. Yes, if it is well developed...

"Changsha County on Jiangnan Road used to be the land of Lingnan. Are there few people there?"

"Going home, if you say it is less, it looks a lot less compared to the north. In fact, there are not many, but no matter how many people are, it is useless. From the previous dynasty to the present, the court has never cared about it. There are several officials, whether there are or not, they are still headed by the tribal chiefs. When the villain accompanied Alang, there were often tribes fighting to the death. Many rare things in our mansion were given by the tribal chiefs back then. Yes, they asked us to help them fight the war, and they didn’t have any money or silk, so they sent those things.”

Li Yu nodded, and listened carefully to what the old man said later. The child in his arms had a few friends, so he broke free from Li Yu's arms and went to play. Li Yu also took the opportunity to leave the crowd, aimlessly Li Yu, who only walked with his head bowed, unknowingly wandered to the northwest corner of Lijiazhuang.

A group of women were sitting at the door talking, seeing Li Yu coming over, they were all very happy;
"Slaves pay homage to the Patriarch."

"The servant has met the Patriarch."

Li Yu raised his head and looked around;
"So it's here for you."

"Yes, sir, why don't you go and rest in the house. This is the yard of our seven sisters. I will make tea for you."

"good."

As Li Yu was invited into the next house by seven women, the women outside were making noise everywhere like crazy!

"The master is here."

"The head of the family has come to see us again."

A little behind the middle of Lijiazhuang, it started to go northwest, and several rows of houses were housed by women rescued from those temples in Ci'en Temple. Several young and middle-aged women arranged it properly, dividing food and clothing.

Most of these women thought that their family might be able to take them in, but in the end they all went back and ate behind closed doors. In desperation, they came to Lantian crying. Fortunately, this noble Lord Hou fulfilled his promise and really took in the homeless. women.

So every time Li Yu came to visit this area, the women from hundreds of households were all overjoyed. No matter which house Li Yu sat in, they were all surrounded and impenetrable, and she was the least seen among the second-bedroom Li family. group of women.

These women came back and registered with the Li family, nominally raising chickens, ducks and geese with Zou Shujuan for the time being, so every time the steward Zou was invited to come over to talk with the patriarch, and this time was no exception. Li Yu just ate half a bowl of hot water, and Zou Shujuan was invited by a large group of women.

"Master Zou, are you all right?"

"See you, sir. Thanks to him, everything is fine. It's just that my sister complained a while ago that he doesn't remember our sisters now. I haven't seen him visit Zou's house for almost a month."

"presumptuous!"

As soon as Zou Shujuan finished speaking, Zou Shuyi, the head of the farming department outside, followed her. The boss Zou knew her sister's eloquence better than anyone else. Seven or eight of the Zou family lived in the front row. People with the surname of Zou's family went to report.

The first lady of the Zou family always urges the eldest daughter to hurry over and accompany her, so don't make the second child talkative!So Zou Shuyi takes the girl very seriously!
Li Yu snickered before putting down the tea bowl;
"Shuyi is here too."

"My family pays homage to the lord, and the lord is blessed and safe!"

"Free of charge, give them sister seats."

"Here."

"Thank you sir."

Li Yu looked at the seven women in the house obediently waiting beside him, smiling and caring;

"Are you all living in a habit?"

The seven women scrambled to respond;

"Go home to the Lord's words, and you will get used to it in the first two days."

"That's right, Patriarch, the servants will be at ease on the day the house is divided."

"That's right, Patriarch, you don't know that slaves are more secure than living at home before."

"Isn't that right, Man Zhuangzi is a member of our tribe, so he is no longer afraid of being bullied by outsiders."

"Hahahahaha, of course no one dares to bully you. Which villain has the guts to come to my Li family's second wife to act wildly? He doesn't want to live anymore!
correct!If you have nothing to do in Zhuangzi, go shopping more often. Don’t stay at home all the time. The people in the clan are very kind. As long as you enter the household registration of Li’s second house, no one cares where you are from and what you have done in the past. You can live your life with confidence and boldness . "

"Patriarch, don't worry, the tribe treats us poor women very well."

Li Yu pointed at a tall woman;
"I talked to you when I rescued you from the cellar that night, and you said you would cook for me later, so I came to your house after today's day, to see your skills and the skills of the seven of you sisters , go, make some food and bring it..."

The seven women did not respond. Although they looked happy and excited, they all knew their identities. As members of the Zou family, the seven women hurriedly went to see the two chief stewards of the Zou family. Zou Shuyi couldn't say much, after all, these The woman has only been in Zhuangzi for half a month, and there are many other problems...

Zou Shuyi had no choice but to visit Han Yingxiang, the owner's first-class maid.

Ying Xiang smiled and bent down to Li Yu's side to ask for persuasion in a low voice;
"Lang Jun, the ladies have been working on the chicken farm for a long time, and they are tired and exhausted, why don't you ask someone to come and serve you in the kitchen of Chuan Mansion?"

Li Yu didn't say anything, just looked at the seven women, and one of the seven women led quickly responded;
"I want to report to Mrs. Han, the servants are not tired, and I still have the energy to cook a meal for you..."

The woman kept her mouth shut as she spoke, because the owner's personal first-class maid stared at her with neither joy nor sorrow. The steward's gaze and aura?Quickly bowed his head and dared not speak again.

"Okay, Yingxiang, don't put on such a face, they are poor people, they finally found a family, they should care more, don't scare them, since they are not tired, let them wait on me for a while!"

Han Yingxiang squatted down politely;
"It's the lord, and I want to report to the lord. The slaves and maids didn't show their faces. They are all of the same clan. As long as there are no bad rules, the slaves will not show their faces."

"Yeah! I know your temperament. Among the seven of us, Yingxiang is the gentlest, so you don't have to be afraid."

"It's Mr. Lang."

"Thank you Mr. Lang for your compliment."

After Han Yingxiang agreed, she waved her hand, and the servants who followed at the door quickly stepped forward and stood still;
"Please do as you please, my lady."

"Go and call some capable people from the kitchen, bring some ingredients, meat, and give some pointers to the seven ladies, so that the ladies can improve their craftsmanship."

"only!"

The seven women saw that Guanshi Han's maids were still guarding the main hall gate, and they looked at each other without daring to move. Li Yu asked a few more homely words, and the seven women hurriedly answered. A team of people came to the kitchen, carrying two baskets of expenses.

Han Yingxiang smiled gently at the seven women;

"Don't panic. You didn't give way just now because there was no one in the kitchen. Our second bedroom has a deadly rule. No matter which house the head of the family visits for dinner, people from the kitchen must arrive to prepare it. These are unchangeable rules. You also have to remember that the days to come will be very long."

"It's the lady, the servants will remember."

"It's best to remember that the Patriarch came to eat, which is equivalent to handing over his property and life to the seven sisters. The matter is of great importance. I think you will protect the Patriarch well, right?"

"That is."

"What Manager Han said is right."

"It makes sense, what the lady said is very reasonable. The slaves will remember that any outsider and bad guy who wants to do sneaky things can't let him take advantage of the loopholes. In the future, the slaves will also learn the rules taught by the lady."

"Very good! Let's go."

"It's a lady."

Without Yingxiang's order, the four maids guarding the door saw the cook coming from the mansion, and they automatically stood on both sides. The seven women left the main hall and discussed in the yard how to prepare delicious food for the owner!
After the room became quiet, Zou Shuyi stretched her neck and asked;
"Lang Jun, I wonder when the court will pass the matter of asking us to cultivate the court's land?"

"Hurry up, uncle opened the letter today, and the documents from the three provinces and six ministries have been signed, and it is very likely that officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs will come down to announce the decree tomorrow.

It is not known exactly where the land will be distributed, but I guess that we will never use all the land in a certain county, and it should be distributed in all directions. "

"It's so fast, that's great, sir, it's just that... the slave family is worried. If the land is divided thousands of miles away, it will be too inconvenient to plant, but it doesn't matter. As long as the court agrees, it will be fine if it is farther away." It doesn't matter, at most the slave family runs around all year round, the slave family can suffer this."

Li Yu hasn't seen Zou Shuyi, a mature woman, for a long time. Tonight, Manager Zou has deliberately dressed up again. In addition, he has been pampered for more than a year and has been in a high position for a long time. Li Yu's temperament is getting more and more exciting, and Li Yu is in a good mood Li Yu could not wait to go up and press the two sisters on the bed, the smile on his face was extremely lewd;
"Don't worry, beauty, I won't tell you to run too far. Most of the elders in the imperial court worry about it. How can they divide the land thousands of miles away?"

Come and sit here, both of you, come and sit next to me, and I'll see if you two have gained weight recently. "

Now who doesn't know that the two sisters are the women the head of the family wants?It's an open secret!

The two sisters didn't dodge at all, and moved to Li Yu in a generous way...
