Chapter 338: Empty Joy?

There are 7,500 households in Luling County. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The annual income of taxation is 30,000 stone of rice, 20,000 horses of silk, and 20,000 catties of silk, according to the market price, which is equivalent to 12 million copper coins, but nowadays copper coins are worthless, in recent years, natural disasters are frequent, and successive wars, all industries wither, the real physical goods, far more than this price, often higher.

Huan Yu's annual allocation of money and materials to the public in the clan has increased from the initial two million yuan to five million yuan in just nine years.

In addition, the eldest sister-in-law, the county lord of Xinhui, and the second sister-in-law, Liu, each received a sum of money and goods worth about one million guan each year, and the remaining five or six million guan money were responsible for the 30,000 yuan of military funds on the border of Xuzhou, as well as the salaries and daily expenses of officials and staff at all levels in the general's palace.

Fortunately, there are rewards in the palace every year, and there are also state and county incomes.

If you rely solely on the income of the county's domestic food, I am afraid that it will already be stretched.

No wonder, he wants to straighten out the expenses of the clan.

"You're too poor." Zheng Sui stared at the accounts handed over by Xin Yi and couldn't help but quip.

Huan Yu next to him generously admitted, "Since you know that I am poor, why don't you consider borrowing me a little every year." ”

"As the saying goes, if you don't help the poor, I can't save you."

"Then when I'm in a hurry, I'll borrow it from you."

Zheng Sui glanced at Huan Yu angrily, "It's good for you to hit the snake with the stick." ”

Huan Yu smiled, reached out and hugged Zheng Sui into his arms, kissed him twice, and then said, "It's not poor yet." ”

Holding her, he glanced down at the account books on the case, the details were clear, the rules were clear, and the handwriting was dignified, and he was immediately impressed, "When did you hide a master by your side, this account is almost as good as Dou Langzhong, who manages taxes in the house, and at the end of the year, it is estimated that Dou Langzhong will have to borrow someone from you." ”

"Of course, Xin Yi was specially allocated to me by my sister-in-law, the family is a trilogy, the Hou family has more staff, if Xin Yi is a man, with the skill of settling accounts, he can serve as a staff member at home."

"Does she have any brothers?"

"There's only a three-year-old brother."

"Then in another two years, send people to Dou Langzhong to cultivate well."

"Okay."

Zheng Sui nodded, there was no objection, and he followed her, but taking care of the grange under her name can keep a piece of food and clothing, but it is different from Huan Yu's side, at least there is one more opportunity to earn a future.

"This is Xin Yi's transcription, all the abnormal expenditures are visible, you can take a look." As he spoke, Zheng Sui took out a booklet from the pile of account books on the desk and handed it to Huan Yu.

"Okay," Huan Yu took it happily, "When I get the money back, we'll go back to Xuzhou." ”

Looking at Huan Yu's excitement, Zheng Sui intuitively felt that he was not only taking back the money, there must be others, but at the moment, Wen Weng and Liu Yuan were not by her side, and she had no one to discuss.

Sure enough, on the day of departure, there were nearly 1,000 more people in the team, all of whom were young and middle-aged, and went to Xuzhou with them.

Zheng Sui probably guessed, Huan Yu used a trick to draw salary, instead of raising these people in vain, doing nothing all day, and consuming rice and grain, it is better to train them to be pro-soldiers, in the end, they are more trustworthy, first, they can find a future for them, and second, they will not be idle to make trouble in the clan.

After this rectification, Huan Yu gave people who did not contribute to the clan, and the support was only to maintain food and clothing, which was shared in the clan, and was directly reduced to 800,000 yuan.

It's just that two days before departure, Zheng Sui received the news: Cai Fu died.

Although she already knew that this day would not be too far away, after all, even the criminal doctor shook his head, unwilling to prescribe medicine, and when he came back, he directly said that he would prepare for the future, however, when she first heard the bad news, she was still stunned for a moment, and ordered for a long time: "Burial, as a loyal servant, buried in the ancestral grave of the Huan family." ”

"Only," Xin Yi replied with red eyes, "The maid will arrange someone to do it." ”

Xin Yi was just about to exit the house, but Zheng Sui shouted again.

"Wait."

Xin Yi retreated, raised his head, and saw a flower in front of him, as if he saw tears flickering in Zheng Sui's eyes, and hurriedly bowed his head and waited beside her, without saying anything immediately.

After a long time, Zheng Sui spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, "You bring Ah Man over and reward their family with 5,000 yuan, Ah Man will be your and Niu Jin's child in the future...... After two or three years, they will report their family to death, and after that, Aman will have no relationship with their family. ”

Xin Yi thought in her heart that this was the best, she had no connection with that family, she was very willing to raise that child, and Cai Fu had passed away, the lady would only remember Cai Fu's good, and this good would be left to Ah Man in the future.

"The servant will personally take someone to do this." After Xin Yi finished speaking, he saw Zheng Sui nodding his head, and went out without any more orders.

Zheng Sui was lying on the window of the car, and Chenfeng took a concubine-colored down and draped it on her, "It's cool outside, the lady should go back to the carriage earlier." ”

"Where's Xin Yi, didn't you come?" Zheng Sui turned around, the carriage was empty, this time back to the country, personal maids, only brought Xin Yi and Chenfeng, when she first came back, Xiao Shi saw that there were few people around her, dialed ten maids to her, before going out, she brought them together, because they were not commonly used around, they were not used to it, and they didn't like it, so they didn't let them get on this ox cart.

"It is said that Aman's child made a lot of trouble, and he changed several nurses, but they were useless."

"Maybe it's a filial child." Zheng Sui turned around and lowered the curtain of the car window.

In late autumn, there is no other scenery outside except for a cold wind blowing the leaves.

Chenfeng exclaimed: "The lady is laughing, she is only six months old, what can she know." ”

"My grandmother once said that mother and son are connected, even if they are still in infancy, they can have the pain of grieving their mother."

Chenfeng sounded strange to this, and only felt that the lady was not only talking about Aman, but also others, so he didn't answer, and after a while, he suggested: "Lady, why don't you let the accompanying doctor go and take a look at the child at night?" ”

"No, it'll be fine in a few days." Zheng Sui leaned back on the hidden sac, a little sleepy, I don't know if it was too brain-consuming to check the accounts, and his spirit has always been a little poor recently.

When Huan Yu came in, he saw a picture of a beautiful woman sleeping soundly, his head resting on the warm jade pillow, the whole person was shrunk in a silk quilt woven with colorful brocade, with a fox fur mattress underneath, and the long blue hair of the crow hung down at the back of his head, which should be put down after falling asleep, slightly sideways, and the shadow of the light, and the white face revealed a rare peace.

The long eyelashes fell down, covering the pair of smart and flowing apricot eyes.

Huan Yu glanced at Chenfeng who was guarding beside him, and asked softly, "Why did you sleep again?" ”

"The lady seems to have been sleepy lately."

As soon as he heard Chenfeng's words, Huan Yu thought about it and felt that it was true, and Zheng Sui's appetite had been excellent recently, and what Han Yu had mentioned suddenly appeared in his mind, saying that pregnant women have two major symptoms, one is drowsiness, and the other is either an excellent appetite and can eat anything, or an extremely bad appetite and vomiting whatever she eats.

Huan Yu's heart suddenly burst into ecstasy, as if he had opened up the six veins of Baihui, his whole body was comfortable, and even his blood was shouting excitedly.

The bottom of the eyes and eyebrows are full of joy, and the faces and corners of the mouth are smiling.

It keeps rising, and it can't be covered.

Immediately waved away the morning breeze, got to the front of the couch, saw Zheng Sui lying on his side at this moment, slightly revealing a little baby fat face, couldn't help but reach out and touch it, his skin was white and creamy, and his tentacles were slippery, he loved this feeling very much, hesitated for a while, and then gently rubbed it.

Even in his deep sleep, Zheng Sui will unconsciously dodge, his eyebrows are light, revealing a bit of love, which makes Huan Yu more and more happy, and grinning.

It's a blessing in the end.

No wonder the sister-in-law said that she was a blessed person.

"I don't know if it's Xiao Langjun or a little girl?" Huan Yu reached out and touched Zheng Sui's face again, his eyes unconsciously swept to the position of Zheng Sui's abdomen, and he was suddenly a little annoyed by the actions last night, which was too frivolous.

But his hard work in the past few months has finally paid off.

For a while, the smile became thicker, and they were almost behind the roots of their ears.

The morning breeze next to him, at the beginning, wondered, why Lang Jun was suddenly so happy, showing a stupid appearance, not to mention that he usually can't see it, even if he does, in Huan Qin's words, it hurts his eyes extraordinarily.

So, she lowered her head and couldn't bear to look at it.

It wasn't until he heard the soft muttering words that Chenfeng suddenly understood, and he was stunned, and without thinking much about it, he blurted out directly, "Impossible, the lady only came here some time ago." ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the expression on Huan Yu's face suddenly froze, looked up at the morning breeze, and asked, "Is it?" ”

The voice was dull, but the eyes were like lightning like torches, shooting towards the morning wind, as if it could burn people through.

Chenfeng suddenly wanted to escape, she retracted her previous words, she would rather look at Lang Jun's stunned appearance and hurt her eyes, than face Lang Jun who woke up from a beautiful dream, and replied in a trembling voice, "Yes, Lang Jun...... The lady didn't ......"

"Why is it so noisy?" Because the voice that Fang Chenfeng blurted out was not controlled, it was a little loud, Zheng Sui was woken up, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and wanted to shrink into the quilt, but he seemed to see Huan Yu squatting aside, and looked at it, but it was not Huan Yu, but his face was not too good-looking, "When did you come?" ”

"Just came in, not long after." Huan Yu's voice was still very dull, it was difficult to accept anyone who fell from the clouds to the mud all of a sudden, not to mention, it was still the thing he valued and cared about the most, raised his head and knocked on the wall of the carriage, and the ox cart quickly stopped, so he waved his hand to the morning wind, "You go down." ”

The morning breeze answered and left in a hurry.

"What just happened, why is she so afraid of you." After all, Chenfeng has always been bold, and it is rare for Zheng Sui to see her face frightened and flee quickly.

"Nothing." Huan Yu helped Zheng Sui sit up and hugged her into his arms, "Wake you up, that girl is too unstable, I reprimanded her." As he spoke, he still reached out and touched Zheng Sui's stomach without giving up, but he didn't notice the change, but let Zheng Sui pat it away, and stared at him again.

Huan Yu was a little lost in his heart, regretting that he didn't bring Han Yu with him, and there was an old man with years of experience around him.

It is said that it will take two months for the doctor to take the pulse.

Wait, and he will not believe it, and he will not be able to give birth to a son and a daughter. (To be continued.) )
