[Ran^Text^Library] There were more than 30 people in Zhuangzi, but only 18 of them were slaves of the Yuan family, who signed a death contract, and the remaining dozen or so were hired people.

The first man is called Yuan Zheng, who was the chief steward of Zhuangzi, and the daughter-in-law is the housekeeper of the inner courtyard, the son is fifteen years old, the daughter is fourteen years old, and the second man is called Yuan Fang, who is in charge of the rent collection of those fields, the daughter-in-law is in charge of the kitchen, the son is fourteen years old, the daughter is nine years old, the third man is called Yuan Tu, who is in charge of the chickens and ducks in the mountains and forests behind the Zhuangzi, and the daughter-in-law is in charge of the vegetable fields in the Zhuangzi, the daughter is ten years old, and the son is seven years old.

The four mothers-in-law were in charge of the cleaning work in the yard, and the two girls, one named Qingya and the other named Nenghong, were in charge of waiting in the upper room.

"Waiting in the room?" Gu Xinyue frowned and looked at Gu Mohan puzzled.

"Xu is the master's family who came and waited?" Gu Mohan didn't understand very well, and said to Yuan Zheng, who bowed down in front of him, and replied, "You say." ”

"It's mainly in charge of the daily cleaning of the upper room, not close service." Yuan Zheng still bowed and replied.

Glancing at the two maids who were about seventeen or eighteen years old, one was delicate and the other was beautiful, Gu Xinyue nodded and looked at the dozen or so people standing on the other side.

Unlike the house slaves here, the tenth-level people were much more rude in appearance and dressed in rough clothes.

"Back to the master, these are the neighbors in the neighborhood, who have signed a ten-year long-term job with Zhuangzi, mainly responsible for the fruit forest behind, as well as some rough work in Zhuangzi, if it reaches the harvest period, they will hire short-term workers." Gu Xinyue's eyes moved, and Yuan Zheng said.

"Harvest time?" Gu Xinyue blinked.

"Yes, there are a total of 600 acres of mountain forests in Zhuangzi, and in addition to peaches and plums, some paulownia trees are also planted." Yuan Zheng replied respectfully.

"Kiulownia? Is it the oil tung tree? You can squeeze out tung oil and use it as paint......" Gu Xinyue rushed out, and when Gu Mohan looked sideways, she closed her voice, covered her mouth with the back of her hand, and smiled at him: "I heard Cui's mother say that this oil is very expensive. ”

Gu Mo was silent for a moment, then turned his head and said, "Then, how is Zhuangzi's income?" ”

Seeing how this girl fell into the eyes of money, she still wanted to have a bottom in her heart while she was asking clearly.

"Back to the general, there are 500 acres of fertile land in Zhuangzi, and you can collect 700 stones of rent a year, and you can get 500 taels of silver in exchange for silver, and 600 acres of mountains and forests can get more than 80,000 catties of tung fruit a year, which can be sold for 3,000 taels of silver, and the rest of the fruits and vegetables plus poultry and wild things, in addition to the mansion in the past, you can also get more than 400 silver, if you don't provide for the mansion, you can get 1,500 taels." Yuan Zheng lowered his head and said in a respectful tone.

That's a total of five thousand taels of silver!

Not only did Gu Xinyue's eyes widen, but Gu Mohan was also very surprised, and said, "How many tung fruits have been planted?" Why not all of them? ”

"Back to the general, tung trees must be planted on the slopes of the sun, and our woodland is only 400 acres by the sun, and some seasonal fruit trees are mixed."

"So." Gu Mohan nodded, and said: "What you did before, how you will do it in the future, as soon as you obey my sister-in-law, no matter what happened before, this Zhuangzi is my dowry for my sister-in-law, you are so good to serve, it is indispensable for your benefits, if you have the heart to be a traitor, then think about the head on your head." ”

Yuan Zheng took the lead, and everyone knelt on the ground, saying to Gu Xinyue that they didn't dare to show their loyalty, but Gu Xinyue glanced at Gu Mohan.

Five thousand taels a year's income! She is only a thousand taels a year as a county lord!

Just gave her as a dowry?!

Gu Mohan chuckled a faint smile, and wanted to reach out to rub her head, remembering that it was not good for so many people to be in the end, he clenched his hands into fists and said, "Okay, you guys go do things first." ”

Yuan Zheng answered, led the others to retreat, and when he walked to the verandah moon gate, Yuan Zheng's son, who had been following Yuan Zheng with his head down, looked back at Gu Mohan, who was looking sideways at Gu Xinyue and smiling.

That gaze was too cold, so that Gu Xinyue, who was facing the moon gate, was suddenly stunned, and then looked closely, but the young man had already gone out with Yuan Zheng, leaving only the shadow of the eaves falling.

Retracting her gaze, Gu Xinyue said: "Brother, this Zhuangzi is too valuable, I can't ask for it, you still have to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

When everyone left, Gu Mohan's hand opened from his fist, rubbed it on her head, and said, "What are you worried about for my brother?" Ge has three Zhuangzi, and this is only the smallest of them. ”

From the very beginning, he planned to give her the Zhuangzi that she lived in directly.

Chu Yu gave him three Zhuangzi, the other two, one was King Wu's big village with thousands of acres of fertile land, and the other was located in the north of the Great River with 4,000 acres of fertile land.

This 500-acre is really a small village.

If it weren't for the two big Zhuangzi Chu Yu staring closely, he would have wanted to give it all to Gu Xinyue.

It's just that Chu Yu must not have thought that the output of those 600 acres of forest land was actually higher than that of 4,000 acres of fertile land.

"But ......" Gu Xinyue was still a little entangled.

Annual income of 5,000 taels!

"Okay, let's go, go and see your reward, and, brother, give it to you." Gu Mohan smiled and pulled her, got up and said.
