After the steward reported them one by one, Sima Nan asked Sima Tan with a smile: "How much do you remember?" ”

Sima Tan said frustratedly: "I didn't remember anything, but I remembered a few faces." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Sima Nan laughed, Sima Nan did not lie in this regard, but he was much better than those who did not know how to pretend to understand.

After laughing, Sima Nan turned his face to look at the Ten Princes: "How much does Zhen'er remember?" ”

The Ten Princes thought for a while: "The stewards you choose are all very ordinary, and they are not easy to recognize in the crowd. I can still recognize some today, but I'm afraid I won't remember any of them in a while. ”

Sima Nan nodded and set his eyes on Lin Ruochen.

"What did Lin Gongzi remember?"

Lin Ruochen closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear.

"The city lord of Sima met with a total of forty-nine stewards today, and the least profitable of them was 70,000 taels of silver, and the highest was as high as 250,000 taels of silver. And their expenses are also a huge amount, totaling about 120,000 taels. If calculated based on the annual profit of 160,000 taels of silver, the net profit of the Sima City Lord is about 40,000 taels of silver per year. ”

"Brother Lin, how do you calculate? It's amazing! The Ten Princes were almost about to applaud Lin Ruochen, although he didn't know if Lin Ruochen's calculation was correct.

Sima Nan nodded with satisfaction, such a mind is really rare in a hundred years, fortunately he is not an opponent, otherwise the Ten Princes would not have the qualifications to fight at all.

"I've been listening, I've been calculating. The only difference with you is that I know which numbers are important and which ones are negligible. ”

"Which numbers don't matter?" Sima Tan scratched his head, his brain still sticking to the paste.

Sima Nan handed the account book at hand to Sima Tan, and then waved his hand: "Take the account book back, and I will send the chief steward over to tell you how to read the accounts and keep the accounts in a while." ”

Sima Tan looked at the thick account book in front of him and felt that there was more and more paste in his head.

When Sima Tan returned to the room with a thick account book, Sima Nan took the Ten Princes and Lin Ruochen to meet some other people.

"Who are these people? When they joined the team, I wondered, why don't I meet you alone in private? What Lin Ruochen said was the ten guards who joined the team when Sima Nan went out.

Sima Nan sighed, as if there was something unspeakable. However, he didn't want to talk about the past, so Lin Ruochen naturally didn't need to delve into the reason.

"Anyway, I need you to remember a few words today, and that is - you can't tell anyone about the existence of these people, including Sima Xing."

"Why?" The Ten Princes wondered: "Didn't you recognize him as a righteous son and hand over all the property in your hands to him?" ”

Sima Nan explained: "Although the property is handed over to him, he is at your service, so from this point of view, you are his secret master." I will explain to him tonight that if he cannot serve you, then he will have to be replaced by someone else. ”

Lin Ruochen knew that Sima Nan not only wanted to say this to the Ten Princes, but more importantly, let him understand that the Ten Princes were the masters, and he, like Sima Tan, was a slave!

Of course, Lin Ruochen understood this, he never thought of replacing the Ten Princes, nor did he think about controlling the rights in the hands of the Ten Princes.

"Like Brother Sima, I will remember my duties clearly."

Sima Nan nodded, he didn't know if it was right to believe in Lin Ruochen like this, but since he decided to hand over the Ten Princes to Lin Ruochen for support, he should naturally believe in him wholeheartedly. This is probably the use of people, but this sentence is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do.

"Originally, these people shouldn't have been let you see, but I believe in you, so please help Zhen'er remember these people, because they will be very important to you in the future."

Lin Ruochen nodded, he would not live up to Sima Nan's trust, let alone disappoint the Ten Princes. Because, his purpose has never been power and money, everything he does is to give himself the ability to protect Xia Chuyan.

"Come in!" Sima Nan said to the door.

As soon as the words fell, a strangely ugly-looking person walked in. To be honest, Sima Nan's steward looks ordinary, after all, it's better to keep a low profile in order not to be noticeable.

But this person, as long as you look at it, you won't forget it, because such an ugly person is really one in a hundred.

"How is the city lord doing?" The ugly-looking man had a hoarse voice, which matched his appearance.

"I'm fine, I'm introducing you to two people today. My grandson Mo Xiuzhen and his staff Lin Ruochen Lin Gongzi. Sima Nan introduced the identities of the two respectively.

After the introduction, Lin Ruochen was impressed by the person in front of him. Because when Sima Nan introduced them, he also said the names of the two of them. Lin Ruochen is not a nobleman, and there is nothing to say his name. But the Ten Princes are different, he is a prince, is it necessary to say his name to a commoner?

It seems that this person is very important to Sima Nan, at least Sima Nan respects him very much.

The person in front of him was about to salute when he walked in front of the Ten Princes, but Lin Ruochen hurriedly stopped him.

"Sir, you're welcome, the Ten Princes never care about these false courtesies. In the future, everyone will be friends, and if there is trouble to Mr.'s place, I hope that Mr. will give me more advice. ”

Although the Ten Princes did not understand Lin Ruochen's approach, he believed that Lin Ruochen must have done so for a purpose. So he also said Lin Ruochen's words, and said to this person who looked really unpleasant: "Yes, I am young and have little knowledge, and I hope that Mr. will teach me more in the future." ”

"The Ten Princes are polite, I can recognize you as the convincing of the small people, and if you need to use the small people in the future, the small people must be the first to look forward!" If he had to salute the Ten Princes just now for the sake of etiquette, then now he looks much more natural, at least his actions look very sincere.

Sima Nan was very satisfied, but he didn't know if he was satisfied with the respect of the Ten Princes and Lin Ruochen for the person in front of him, or if there was any other reason.

"Okay, you're welcome, there will be a chance to meet in the future. Old Joe, let's introduce yourself first! ”

The ugly person in front of him is nicknamed Lao Qiao, and he is always called Qiao Ye on weekdays, and only Sima Nan calls him Lao Qiao.

Lao Qiao nodded, and then formally introduced himself to the Ten Princes: "My nickname is Lao Qiao, and my brothers politely call me Master Qiao." As for the original name, even I forgot it myself! But I remember vividly that I was a prisoner who escaped from the death row of the current emperor, and I escaped on the first day of beheading, and since then I have come here to beg in a different way. Later, I was fortunate enough to be the eye of the Sima City Lord, and in order to repay his kindness, I stared at the poisonous snakes and beasts in all directions for him! ”
