Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 778;
Chapter 730 three;

Seventy miles northwest of the eight-bedroom old house, Li Yu's army camped here. The front and rear armies were thirteen miles apart, echoing each other from afar.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Yu was sitting reading a book and eating tea, while the next clansman was reporting.

"Have you been fighting for several hours?"

"Yes, Sir, the short-handed handover began at [-]:[-] p.m., and the fighting did not end until half past noon. All the people in the old house were wiped out?"

"Well, how many people are there in the strength of the boss's gathering?"

"A majority of 3000, a small number of them are aliens on the grassland, about a few thousand."

"Well, what about them, how about the casualties?"

"If you go back to Mr. Sanlang, Mr. Sanlang has the Zhuge Liannu and Tang Dao supported by us, and the casualties are all in the early [-]s."

"More than 200? The command ability of the three brothers is too bad. I gave them 200 Tang swords that cut iron like mud, and lent them [-] Zhuge Liannu, and there were more than [-] casualties. Forget it." Say the number of casualties of the other two."

"It's Mr. Lang. There are more than 570 dead and injured at the Clan Elders' Association. There are more than 7000 people from the clan with the thirteen surnames, and the total number is less than [-]."

Li Yu put down the book and his face was as calm as water;
"Don't mention the outsiders on the prairie that Boss got involved with, just say that Bafang's clansmen on both sides of him have killed almost 1 people, that's enough, it's almost the same.

It is enough to avenge Aye. This time, Bafang is considered to be the bottom family in Longxi. If you don’t want to regain your vitality, you will be a real fool. If you continue to follow the route of aristocratic protectionism, doing it again like this is basically equivalent to exterminating the family Disaster, the patriarch of Bafang claims that he has no plans to spare, and he can live his whole life, and finally fell on his eldest son, which is really ironic. "

Li Yu muttered and picked up the book of war again. Tanchun next to him looked all right, and waved to the spy.

Li Yu didn't speak any more, and kept looking at the book of war until the night food was served before getting up and moving his body;

"Leave it alone, I'll go outside for a walk, I don't have to follow."

Tanchun obediently gave a blessing;
"It's Mr. Lang."

Li Yu got out of the tent of the Chinese army, walked around casually with his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, it was dusk.

Liang Boldly put on his armor and helmet, and led three or four guards in front of the tent to wander behind the Patriarch.

Wherever they passed, Li Yu waved his hands. Everyone knew the patriarch's habit, each of them saluted without making any noise, and each was busy with his own business.

Li Yu stood in front of the soldiers who were cooking, and watched with great interest as they skinned the slaughtered sheep and took the meat. The water in the marching iron pot next to him was heating up.

Seeing the cook quickly remove the whole sheepskin and put it aside, Li Yu asked casually;

"What is the use of this sheepskin? Do you want to take it back to the warehouse or sell it for money?"

The cook, who was about to cut the meat for the meat, immediately put down the knife in his hand when he heard the question from Mr. Lang. The rules of the second room are the same as those of other aristocratic families. Using a knife in front of the head of the family is a capital offense.

"Going back to Mr. Lang, it is useful, but the treasury has to be taken back, and the clan will arrange it uniformly, so I don't know where it is used."

"Oh?"

Li Yu, who didn't care at first, was going to wander elsewhere, but when he heard the jealous words, he became interested again, and Li Yu, who settled down, casually chatted with his clansmen;

"Isn't it arranged to be used in the warehouse?"

"Yes, sir, I always recycle it, but I have never seen it used."

"Interesting, it's just that you don't need to collect it. Do you keep it as a credit? Or wait until you have saved enough and exchange it with the grassland people on the Silk Road?"

"Lang Jun is wise, isn't that what it is? Sell it and don't sell it, use it or don't use it. Could it be exchanged with the prairie people? They don't care about these things."

"Well, tell me again, if you use this sheepskin, what can you use it for? Don't tell me to change it for some money and go to the brothel to have fun."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The clansmen in Erfang like to get close to the Patriarch, because the Patriarch is not as aloof and arrogant, and is very approachable. These days when he comes out, he often sits on the ground with ordinary clansmen, chatting and laughing, and sometimes gets together with clansmen to eat big pot meals, so Wherever Li Yu went, there were often crowds of clansmen gathering around to watch the fun and listen to gossip, and this would be the same, a large group of soldiers laughed loudly.

The cook who slaughtered the sheep had a red face and neck, which meant that he had been to the brothel.

"If you go back to your husband, how can you do it? If the sheepskin is used by the minister, the minister will make a simple jacket and wear it inside. It must be a cold winter day on the grassland. There is a sheepskin wrapped around it. , not afraid of freezing."

Li Yu, who was relaxing his sleepy body after sitting for a long time, was suddenly taken aback.

"Yeah, winter is about to begin. When we leave the customs ahead, it's the prairie. It's cold at night, and it's really warm to wrap it in sheepskin."

As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, a clansman who seemed to be in charge came over to intervene;
"My lord, you don't have to be afraid of the cold at night. Our military tents are made of cowhide. They are thick and wind-resistant, and can withstand the cold. There are also many clansmen who sleep together and can keep each other warm. They can't be frozen."

"Well, I know, but it won't work if you go out of the military tent. You can't hide under the covers all day long."

"That's that, but if you do a lot of activities during the day, you won't be afraid of the cold."

"Well, well, what are you supposed to do, don't worry about me being an idler."

"Yes."

The clansman who butchered the sheep picked up the knife and cut the meat quickly, and then the people next to him divided it into small pieces and threw them into the pot. Li Yu got excited and asked someone to help him. Pot of stewed broth.

When I was ready to leave, I found that the manager who spoke before asked casually before leaving;
"Are you from the official treasury?"

"Back to Lord Lang, yes, this minister is the chief steward of the marching treasury, and he was born with the surname of Chen."

"Oh, Manager Chen, I just have something to do, so you follow me into the Chinese army tent to talk."

"only!"

The two went back to the Chinese military tent together, Li Yu pointed to the food on the table;

"Create a meal for Manager Chen and ask him to be my guest tonight."

"It's Mr. Lang."

The servants in the kitchen who were waiting on the side quickly divided up a meal, cut off half of a roast leg of lamb, and put it on the lower table, with Li Yu sitting at the top;
"Eat, Manager Chen, talk while eating."

"Thank you for the reward."

Li Yu was very casual, cut off a large piece of lamb leg, took the garlic soup and put it in his mouth, and Manager Chen over there also ate it with great enjoyment.

The two of them didn't talk much, and Li Yu didn't ask questions until they were full and the servants packed up their things;

"Looking at your face, where's the former steward Chen?"

"Oh, speaking back to Mr. Chen, the previous steward Chen was the minister's seventh uncle. He was from Lantian, and the minister was in charge of the Longxi lair. Seventh uncle was worried that there would be too many things on the grassland this time, and he might not be able to handle it all. I asked the storehouse on this side of the old nest to send out a few second stewards to help, and I didn't feel relieved to leave the boss to work, so I followed in person."

"Oh, no wonder, looking at Miansheng, it turns out that you are the chief manager of the old nest."

"Yes, sir, but I go to Lantian once every two years. I have never been absent, and I have also gone to Lantian to pay for my husband."

Li Yu nodded;

"I know this, but there are too many people, I remember many of you."

"It's okay, Mr. Lang is busy with affairs, and he doesn't live in Longxi's lair, so it's common for me not to remember, as long as I can remember Mr. Lang."

"Hahahaha, it makes sense, it makes sense, the chief manager is really interesting."

"Your Majesty called me into the account. I must have something to ask. Please tell me, Your Majesty, and I will listen with all my ears."

"Well, there is indeed something, it's still a very important event, I won't go around anymore, it's still the topic before the meal, it's going to be winter, and we're here on the prairie for the winter again, can it be warmer? Important, I am afraid that the people of the tribe will freeze, so I asked you to come in and discuss, get a piece of sheepskin for everyone, do you think it is feasible?"

"Oh, by the way, there are also clansmen who came out from Dafang and Sanfang. They also have to be handed over to each other. You can't treat one more like another. The Sanfang are like-minded, so you can't treat them as outsiders."

Originally, there was a big manager who was talking and laughing, but when he heard this, he put away his smile, and when he heard it, he had to be messed with by the other Fang clan people who came out, and he was even more frowning.

"Is there something difficult about the chief steward?"

"I want to report to you, sir, it's not that I'm ostracizing people from other houses. It's just that this is a trick for our family members. Although it is difficult, I can make do with it. With so many numbers added together, I am really It's embarrassing, it's not decimals, sir."

"I know, that's why I asked you to discuss it. First, tell me how much sheepskin stock there is in the old nest. Let's add up the total."

"Okay, back to my lord, it was quite a lot, and it was enough, but I don't have any income here, I just rely on the crops to fill my stomach, and the granary can't be filled for two years.

Therefore, the income can only be supplemented by other sources. The sale of cattle and sheepskins is one of them. Every year at the beginning of summer, the cattle and sheepskins that have been stored for a year are sold and returned as money and silk.

Let’s talk about this year. Before I came here, I checked the various quantities in the warehouse. Just talking about sheepskins, there is only a stock of over [-]. Mr. Lang said that he would arrange one for each of the clansmen who came out. The minister immediately thought, It can be bought from other clans in Longxi, and it can be collected.

But he even arranged for the family members of the eldest and third families, and the minister was so entangled. "

"You don't have to worry about it. We can bid a little higher and take away the inventory of four, five and six rooms, or we can buy it directly on the prairie without their help. It's not difficult to think about it."

"It's definitely not a problem, but it will cost a lot of money, and I feel sorry for others. We can save it for a few years and use it..."

Li Yu shook his head;

"The idea of ​​Lao Wo is still based on the ancient method handed down by the ancestors. This workaround is somewhat lacking, and it will have to be changed in the future.

Don't be too old-fashioned in doing things. For example, at this moment, people are coming out, and winter is about to come. When I have accumulated enough, people will go back 800 years. What is the use of him? "

"800 years, hahahaha, what Lang Jun said is true, but what I think is that I can wrap it to resist freezing when I go back, just like the grassland people, it is not very beautiful, so basically no one wears it like that, the clansmen I'd rather be cold than bloated like a prairie freak."

"It doesn't know how to make or wear it. You just need to arrange it. I'll discuss how to do it with two apprentices of Tailor Jiang in a while. I'll let you see the benefits in the morning."

"Respect the order of the master."

"Try to collect larger skins. In addition, each person may need one and a half, or two. Anyway, you plan to spend two per person, and the sooner the better, don't care about the money. This year Didn’t you just bring more than 700 million yuan to your warehouse here, and you are not short of money, so don’t hold it back, and the clansmen will complain about your pettiness in the future!”

"Lang Jun, one is not enough? Do you want two?"

"Look at it, look at it, you are just like your seventh uncle, every time you spend money, you feel bad, oh, let me tell you a joke,
In the early spring of this year, I prepared the cost of these armor and weapons in advance, but guess what, seeing that it cost more than ten million guan, your seventh uncle fainted immediately. "

"This minister knows, I heard that he was rescued in half an hour."

"That's right, it frightened me too. I didn't dare to bring this up with him for more than a month. Later, I asked his old Aye to intercede."

Manager Chen looked at Li Yu with a different expression;

"Lang Jun, I'm afraid you have found the wrong person. When my second grandfather was the chief manager of the warehouse, he knocked on the door even more. The famous old button quarreled with more than half of the chief managers. It was just to be stingy. What's more, the son he trained by himself?"

"Yeah, when I went, before I opened my mouth, your grandpa directly said that he doesn't care about things now, that he is old and useless, and blocked me tightly, but the patriarch also has a way. I will give him such a Said, in the end he went out in person, but your seventh uncle obediently pulled money out."

"I heard that Uncle Qi gave Lang Jun a total of several million guan, which can be used for the cost of these high-quality treasures, so I guess, Lang Jun must have robbed the cost of liquor before entering the warehouse, or the cost of tea. There is no place to rob, and the ones that came back from the Silk Road have not been sold, half of them are kept here, and half of them are kept in the hands of Uncle Seven.”

Li Yu covered his mouth and laughed, and Tan Chun next to him also laughed.

"Where do you think I robbed?"

"I think it should be the salt of robbery, because it comes quickly, and the amount of money is also large, enough for the gentleman to use."

"That's right! I'm the profit from Jie's salt. I knew that I would be discovered if I failed a few times, so I just told him to mine overnight, sell it quickly, and sold him a lot at one go. In the end, the money he took was useless. Light, the rest, I put them into the private treasury of the mansion, hehehehe!"

Seeing the head of the family robbing his own family like a child, Manager Chen didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Sitting was extremely embarrassing. It was very hard for the maids next to him to lower their heads. Tanchun couldn't bear it. He just turned around and trembled all over, but he didn't make a sound.
