The struggle of the reborn prince

"Second Master, do you think the houses of our tenants are slowly being rebuilt?" After finishing talking, Zheng Lu hesitated to leave, and said for a long time.

"Why, isn't this something that has been decided a long time ago?" Zhao Tang asked puzzled.

"Second Master, it's a settled matter, but this time you built a winery, expanded the workshop, and recruited so many people, which cost a lot, so you can only embezzle part of the money for building the house. It takes a lot of money to buy materials and tools!" Zheng Lu said in a low voice.

"Oh, I see, how much money is left in our house?" Zhao Tong asked.

"Last year, the Fuchu had a surplus of more than 19 guan. The wages for building embankments and roads plus rewards, food expenses and compensation for land occupation cost nearly 2 guan, less than half of which was paid, and another [-] guan was spent on buying tools and stones. , We invested [-] guan in the winery successively; it took more than [-] guan to re-locate and build a house for the expansion of the workshop. You get [-] guan, the existing money is not enough to cover these items, and the expenses of the mansion have not been taken into account!" Zheng Lu pinched his fingers and settled the account for the prince.

"Yeah!" Zhao Tang nodded and acquiesced, the New Year's welfare rewards, the winery and the craftsman decided on their own, without discussing with them, but the cost was counted to the account of the mansion. Now that the new wine has just been released, the craftsman It is still under construction. Although it will definitely make money, it will have to wait until the end of the year. The workshop may take longer, and the cycle of land investment to recover the cost and generate income will be longer, which cannot quench the thirst of the near.

"Zheng Lu, do the math, how much will it cost if everyone starts working!" Zhao Tang asked after thinking for a moment.

"Second Master, I've done the math. The cost of a house is three guan, and a household with three rooms costs nine guan. According to your plan, you will build four villages, with five hundred households in each village, plus road construction. It takes [-] guan to dig a well and plant a tree, and the mansion still needs [-] guan to spend!" Zheng Lu replied.

"Okay, Jianxi, you allocate 15 guan from the inner mansion and hand it over to the chief steward. There is one more thing you must do well!" Zhao Tuo asked Jianxi to take a satchel and take out a map to draw a circle and said: "Here are five hectares near the river. The land should not be rented out, it should be set aside separately as the land for our workshop, and the simple wharf beside the Bian River should be expanded to be able to dock thousands of stone boats, is this enough money?"

"Second Lord is enough, enough..." Zheng Lu said with a smile in a hurry. The head of the family is afraid that he will have no money to spend. Now the prince gave 15 guan at once, so he can handle things easily.

"My lord, there is not much money left in our inner palace!" Jian Xi said with a sad face, the lord's money comes quickly, and it goes away quickly!

"You know what a fart, money is a dead thing if you put it in it, and you can make more money by turning it around. How can you be more money-obsessed than me!" Zhao Tang kicked him and said.

"Hehe, second master, you see that there are too many things going on in the mansion right now. I really can't take care of the workshop. Should I ask Zheng Fu to help out temporarily!" Zheng Lu asked nervously, he didn't know the prince Have you lost your temper?

"Well... just let him go. You tell him that he must be careful and considerate in doing things. If something happens again, it will not be as simple as letting him feed the horse!" Zhao Tun said after pondering for a while. It has been more than a month since he moved to the stables to feed the horses. He secretly observed several times. Zheng Fu worked hard there, and did not give up on himself because he was dismissed from the position of chief steward. Zhao Tian admired this very much.

"My little one thanked the second master on behalf of Zheng Fu!" Zheng Lu thanked Zheng Fu to the end. After all, he had known Zheng Fu for many years, and his relationship was still very deep. The big shopkeeper.

After Zheng Lu finished speaking, he happily followed Jian Xi to get the money. Zhao Tun stared at the blank space on the map. He originally wanted to build several workshops after the infrastructure construction was completed this year, but now it seems to be in vain.Funds and talents have become the bottleneck of my rapid development. If I can’t solve these two problems, I’m afraid I’ll be busy in vain in the end, but the main problem I’m facing now is funds. If you have money, you can find talents. People can't even eat enough to eat, and if you talk about saving the country and the people in a "good situation", people will probably only regard you as a lunatic, let alone work for you.

Xiao Mei is also re-examining the child in front of her at this time. She has stayed in the mansion for more than a month, and everyone said that although the prince is young, he is brave, generous, and kind to his servants. There were a lot of good words, I just thought they were flattering the prince, but I didn't really believe it.

Today they talked about the affairs of the mansion, they didn't avoid themselves, she really saw it, among other things, he spent the [-] yuan without blinking, and the money was for the tenants to build houses, Not for his own enjoyment.Although Yemen is in the business of killing people and collecting money, he is also known as a chivalrous man in the Jianghu. Of course he has done things like robbing the rich and helping the poor, but at most it is only a hundred and ten, and most of the money is still kept for food and drink. Even the senior brother may not have such a boldness compared to him, but he is still a child...

"I miss your senior brother again, you can meet tonight, don't rely on me to hide him!" Zhao Tang put away the map, suddenly looked at Xiao Mei who was beside him staring at him in a daze, and said with a smile.

"Who misses him? I'm just worried about his injury." Xiao Mei said with a white look at him.

"Hee hee, you still said no, you're laughing just looking at your eyebrows!" Zhao Tang said with a smile, pointing at Xiao Mei's face.

"Nonsense, you bastard doesn't have a single word of truth in your mouth!" Xiao Mei said, feeling her face burning, turning her face away.

"Hehe, Sister Mei, I want to ask you, now that everyone outside has withdrawn and your brother's injury has healed, why are you still here? Do you really want to sell yourself to pay off your debts?" Zhao Tang shook his hand, not joking with her anymore .

"Hey, you want to drive us away, but who would want to if you have two killers by your side!" Xiao Mei said with a sigh, her face darkened.

"You can live here as long as you like. A guy from Yemen has been my manager for half a year. There is nothing to be afraid of. If he doesn't kill me, he might be the manager now." Zhao Tun picked up the fishing rod, hung up the fish food, threw it into the water and said.

"What?! People from Yemen once assassinated you, why don't I know what he looks like?" Xiao Mei asked in surprise.

"About six feet tall, fair skin, small eyes, but spirited, when smiling, the left corner of the mouth slant down, good at wielding a short knife..."

"Needless to say, he is from our Yemen. I said why I haven't seen him for a long time, so he died in your hands!" Xiao Mei said with a serious face.

"As I said before, if he doesn't kill me, I won't kill him. Don't blame me and call for revenge for him." She took a vitamin bsp; "Cut, the little devil has a lot of minds, and he won't take a loss at all. If his skills are not as good as others, he will be killed if he is killed. Everyone in our business has this awareness. I won't find him for him." You are in trouble!" Xiao Mei said as she rubbed the top of Zhao Tun's head twice, her movements seemed a little more intimate, as if her sister was punishing her little brother who said something wrong.

"Sister Mei, my sister, sister, you don't want to call me the second master, but don't call me 'little ghost head, little devil head', it will damage my royal image and honor!" Zhao Tong flung the messed up tapes by Xiao Mei behind her head in a cool and unrestrained manner, and said solemnly.

"Haha..." Xiao Mei laughed in an unladylike manner, suddenly there were two lines of tears on her face.

"Sister Mei, what's the matter with you?" Zhao Tang asked in surprise, he didn't seem to say anything wrong, why did he make her cry, don't be nervous, he moved his butt to the side while asking, Every cell in the body has entered the first level of combat readiness.

"Look at you, I just remembered something from the past!" Xiao Mei was amused by Zhao Tun's nervous appearance, she put her arms around his shoulders, let him lean on her and said, "You don't know, we are all Orphan, I have suffered a lot since I was a child. I was adopted by Yemen when I was five years old. Apart from eating and sleeping, I studied martial arts every day and practiced various killing techniques. When I was eight years old, my master took me to dig a grave in a new grave. A dead body, and then asked me to take him back alone. I was scared to death at the time, but I dragged the body back. The next day, I found that several brothers were missing. I didn’t know about them until I grew up. He was secretly executed for failing to complete the task..."

"Ah! The rules of your Yemen are really big!" Zhao Tang felt that Xiao Mei did not have any malicious intentions, so he moved his body to make himself more comfortable.

"This is actually just the beginning. From that day on, the master put the corpse into various poses, disguised as various people. I will stab the corpse every day, and it must be stabbed at the vital point, which is enough to make people feel sick." People die, until the corpse rots and stinks, and there is no place to put a knife, I have never smiled happily since then!" Xiao Mei looked down at Zhao Tian who was listening to her words and said with a wry smile.

"I killed the first person when I was ten years old, but I didn't feel the slightest fear, and then I began to accept missions frequently and kill people according to the instructions. No one told us whether they were good people or bad people, and I never asked, until A few years later, I suddenly found out that among the [-] people we started with, only my brother and I were left, and they were all dead. The cruel training had already turned us into people without feelings, but I still felt sad, maybe it was the death of a rabbit and the sadness of a fox. It hurts its kind!"

"No, it means that you still have feelings, you are different from them!" Zhao Tong said.

"Maybe, after a few years, the senior brother has repeatedly made outstanding achievements. After the death of the old sect master, the position of sect master was passed on to him. I also became the right guardian of the sect and was responsible for training new killers. Back then, Master used the method to do it, but I couldn’t do it, and at this moment, the business of assassinating Zhang Kangguo was accepted in the door, and the matter was very important, so I went out to do this task with my senior brother, but unexpectedly, I was plotted against!"

"We can be said to be a bitter gourd on a vine. Although I am a prince, I am not in a much better situation than you. If you make a wrong step, you will be lost forever!" Zhao Tong forced a smile and said.
