Coming out of Dingguohou, Chi Erlang was no longer obsessed with face-saving matters, and directly greeted the old steward of Dingguohou's Mansion and the chief steward who is now in power.

To say that the old marquis has foresight, knowing that his eldest son is not very capable, and the intimate people he finds are all cultivated by the old marquis.

As for the country, he is very obedient, he has 100% trust in the old marquis, and he has been reusing the housekeeper given by the old marquis for so many years.

So at this time, it is convenient for the new Dingguo Hou Chi Erlang, how heartily the old housekeeper is also trained by the old Hou Ye, and everything is done with the Hou Mansion as the first priority,

Although there are a lot of emotions about the replacement of the old master of the Hou Mansion, it is really at a critical time, and he is unambiguously on the side of the Dingguo Houfu, that is, the side of the new Dingguo Hou.

Seeing the old housekeeper with the stewards, holding a stack of booklets, account books or something, Chi Erlang was a little startled, didn't he make a fake account to fool himself, the various threats and temptations prepared were useless, how could the steward turn against him, and he didn't dare to say anything else, his uncle was not thin on the old stewards when he was still in the country, and he was afraid that even his brothers would have to be behind.

I didn't see the things in the house, their brothers didn't know anything about it, and the old steward understood everything, and everything was thorough. No matter how you look at this battle, it's all a fraud, no wonder Chi Erlang was surprised.

The old steward leaned over: "The slave has seen the Hou Ye, the slave was born in the Hou Mansion since he was a child, and he was a scholar for the old Hou Ye, when the Hou Ye was young, the old slave was still in this garden for the old Hou Ye as a housekeeper, until the old Hou Ye went, and put the slave next to him as the chief steward of the country. If there is anything that the Hou Ye doesn't understand about the Hou Mansion, just ask the old slave. ”

Smart people don't need to explain, they have been by the old Hou Ye's side for so many years, and when they have seen the Hou Mansion at its most prosperous, they have wanted to come for so many years, and they have been aggrieved even when they are in charge.

The old steward probably wants to see Dingguo Hou be able to get out of the haze of his uncle for so many years, so at this time of the alternation of the old and the new, he can stand behind the Hou Mansion so unswervingly, in other words, it is not he Chi Erlang who is chosen, but the steward who submits to the Hou Mansion, whoever is the Hou Ye is the same, and this one will do his best to assist.

Anyway, it's nice to have someone who understands. Ji Erlang doesn't mind letting people know that he is a polite corporal, knows how to make good use of people, and still remembers old feelings.

He said to the old housekeeper and Yan Yuese: "Erlang is young and knows very little about the old affairs of the Hou Mansion, so he will have to borrow the old man's place in the future. In the future, the Hou Mansion will bother the housekeeper to worry about it. ’

The old steward sighed in his heart again, there is nothing wrong with the Hou Ye after the old Hou Ye passed away, compared to this one, it seems a little worse: "The old slave obeys the orders of the Hou Ye." However, the old slave is old after all, I am afraid that he is weak, and the time to follow the Hou Ye is short, and he also asked the Hou Ye to send a few useful people to familiarize himself with the trivial matters of the Hou Mansion with the old slave. ”

Chi Erlang felt that the people trained by the old marquis were not ordinary, if Dingguo Hou had this vision, why would the Hou Mansion become like this, it would become a first-class stage in the capital, and people all over the capital were waiting to see the excitement: "Since this is the case, please bother the old housekeeper." ”

Corporal Lixian can show a little bit or something, but the identity of the Hou Ye can't be lost. When it was time to put out Hou Yefan, Chi Erlang could still hold it.

After the two were polite, the old steward began to ask the stewards around him to turn over the account books, and explain clearly to the new Dingguo Hou one by one.

The first and foremost thing is the private property of the Dingguo Hou, as well as the public property. The old steward is one by one, one by one in front of Chi Erlang, and every Zhuangzi, every shop, and every private property has at least twenty years of account books, that is to say, it can be checked until the time when the old marquis is there.

No wonder Dingguo Hou and his family are so tossed to death, the Hou Mansion can still stand, it turns out that his grandfather has already placed the manpower. A conscientious old steward.

Chi Erlang was tired and panicked for his old grandfather, for such an unlucky son, how much effort did he put into it, how many follow-up moves were arranged, otherwise how could his uncle have been climbing in the court for so many years.

sighed in my heart, but unfortunately the old grandfather couldn't predict the prophet and couldn't place a few more sons for his eldest uncle, otherwise the vein of the big house would really be safe.

Look at the old steward again, what a big heart is that little bit of money. Looking back, I remember to ask my wife to subsidize the old housekeeper, it was not easy for so many years.

The old steward didn't know that the new marquis was thinking. After explaining the private property, he slowly spoke: "Our Hou Mansion has been in a lot of old friends for so many years, and the relationships are complicated and complicated, and it is not easy for the old slave to explain it clearly with the Hou Ye for a while. ’

Chi Erlang nodded: "This is not in a hurry, you can wait for a while and wait for the prince to stand up, and the provincial steward will have to talk to the fat brother again when he goes back." ”

The old steward looked up at this brave and extraordinary Hou Ye, and even the son was decided, it was really good, very good. There is nothing more reassuring than the continuation of the descendants, and it can be seen that the old steward has bothered a lot in the affairs of the prince of Dingguo Houfu over the years.

The old steward took out two thin booklets from the butler behind him, which looked a little old: "The old slave here, as well as the current roster of our Hou Mansion, the token for dispatching these parts was handed down by the old Hou Ye back then, and it has always been kept personally in the hands of Dingguo Hou." After so many years, the original 5,000 parts are now only more than 3,000, a few years ago, Hou Ye and the Hou Mansion separated, and the Hou Ye took a small part of it, and now the Hou Mansion is only more than 2,000 parts, all in the booklet. ”

Chi Erlang: "Wait, I didn't take more than 1,000 people with me at the beginning, so why are there more than 2,000 left." ’

The old steward bowed his head, the Hou Mansion is not as good as a year after year, and those parts are also going to live. The old ones are old, the little ones are still young, and the succession is not good.

Chi Erlang doesn't feel very good, who are these two thousand parts.

Looking at the old housekeeper, he couldn't help but ask: "Won't it all be the same as the part that was assigned to us in the second room?" ’

The old steward looked entangled, and he didn't know how to answer, the people taken away by this Hou Ye were really not good, but now the remaining people, after so many years, are not much better than those people at the beginning.

The soldier is a trained thing, and his own Hou Ye hasn't even had a decent errand over the years, and a large group of people are just raised without starvation, what can it be.

Not to mention that compared with the people in the hands of the old Hou Ye at the beginning, even compared with the people in the hands of this Hou Ye, they are all far, far behind. What's the way, it's difficult for Master Hou.

Now it's not appropriate to call Hou Ye anymore, and it should be said that General Feng'en is not easy.

Chi Erlang's face is not very good, forget it, let's not talk about what people look like, now he doesn't even have the token for the dispatch department. His uncle is going to take something away from him, and I'm afraid he won't take out the token.

Chi Erlang didn't want to bother with him, so he asked the steward: "I can dispatch those people without tokens." ”

The steward's eyelids are not very good: "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be." ”

Chi Erlang clicked his lips: "That's can." ”

The steward was silent, Chi Erlang was relieved, and finally didn't have to work hard with Dingguohou: "You can't make a forest alone, the huge Hou Mansion, relying on one or two people, it can't prosper, and you still have to work together with the descendants of my Hou Mansion, you know, a few Lang Jun in three rooms and four rooms have made a good errand, but people don't have a lot of hands." The old housekeeper is like a method, I can't be an errand boy in my Hou Mansion, and I don't even have a decent manpower around. ”

This Hou Ye is really unkind, and he is not implicitly asking for the scheduling power of the part.

The old steward took out a piece of paper from the booklet: "This is what the token looks like." ”

Chi Erlang was dumbfounded, what does this mean. Let me steal it like this, or be a fake. Isn't this really a joke for him? That's the way it should be.

His dignified Dingguo Hou used his own subordinates, and he also used this crooked and evil way, which was not laughing off his big teeth. Whether it is good or not, Chi Erlang's face turned red, and he was a little annoyed, he was sealed by a saint, and the clansmen wrote to the country. This is definitely an insult in disguise to his way of destining the country.

The old steward looked at Chi Erlang's face and said that he didn't say that he had to have a token to dispatch the department, and the old marquis also said that the court would not reuse these private soldiers of our Hou Mansion today, and it doesn't matter if there is a token or not, it's just a symbol, and the meaning is just that." ”

Ji Jiro had a gloomy face, staring at the steward.

The old steward's scalp was numb, and the new marquis was not very easy to speak: "The subordinates of our Hou Mansion are all the retainers of the ancestors at the beginning, to put it bluntly, they are the retainers of the Hou Mansion who have signed the deed, and they are the subordinates." Although the grace of the ancestors later made them military households and let go of the deed, it was still there in the end, and only the Dingguo Hou of the past dynasties could dispatch his Dingguo Mansion. Tokens don't matter anything. "What the old marquis is afraid of is that the people of his Hou Mansion let others take the token and requisition it. didn't expect that the civil strife in their Hou Mansion would fulfill their grandson.

Chi Erlang eased his face, that is to say, with the booklet, he can gather these parts, how to use them and how useless, in the end, the old marquis has insight, isn't this what is the case with today's parts,

The saint will no longer let the general of any family, the marquis or something, pull private soldiers to the battlefield.

Even the people around Chi Erlang at the beginning, they were all with him as guards. Those hundred households who stayed in Liaodong also put the deed of deeds, and after that, there were 100 steps of the court, which were the soldiers and horses of the saints, not from his Chifu.

Both of them were a little silent, and the old steward was sighing, there are 5,000 households, there are only so many people left, and there are 5,000 households in the Hou Mansion in the past, all of them are people's households, good people, and military households. It was a household under the head of the Hou Mansion. But now, at most, it's called a person, and what kind of household is it? Doesn't count. Especially in recent years, many households have lost because the male is gone.

Chi Erlang was thinking, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to have such a small number of people in the future, so let's divide it among a few brothers, there won't be much left. Not to mention the 10,000 households, even the 5,000 when the old marquis was there, and the current 3,2000 can't be kept.

Chi Erlang: 'I don't know why we have placed these parts. ’

The old steward: 'When the old marquis was here, the people in the two alleys in Xicheng belonged to our Hou Mansion. When I arrived at the Hou Ye, there were too many nobles in the capital, it was not easy to live, and there were not so many parts to resettle, so I bought an alley in Xicheng, and the remaining alley was the largest entry of our Hou Mansion today, and the entire alley was rented out to make a store. Those parts were placed on Zhuangzi near the outskirts of Beijing. The expenses of the Hou Mansion are not small, and it is not easy to live in those parts. ’

Chi Erlang went to the west exit to air conditioning, and finally knew how bad his uncle was, and he actually sold an alley, which was the street of the capital.

Grinding his teeth, grinding his teeth again, he couldn't pour the karmic fire in his heart, how much silver did his wife spend to buy a shop in Xicheng.

No matter how Chi Erlang curses his uncle, the Hou Mansion's family property will not come back.

Just let the steward leave the account books and look through them slowly, it is not easy to defeat the silver in an alley, and I don't know if the Hou Ye has left some private property for him to be a Dingguo or something.

The old steward didn't say anything, but bowed back.

Chi Erlang had a dark face and asked a few elders around him to carry the account book to find his wife.

This steward left so many account books, it may not be that there is no place for him to be embarrassed, and the accounts of the past twenty years. He is not afraid of trouble.

Chi Erlang asked people to carry the account book directly to the inner courtyard of Mrs. Fang, and Sister Fang looked at the thing in front of her: "What kind of thing, someone will give a gift when you become a master." ”

Chi Erlang grinned and smiled innocently.

Sister Fang: 'Don't laugh like that, it doesn't match your personality. ’

Chi Erlang touched his face and stiffened his smile: "I can't say that I can't give gifts, I'm here to give gifts to my wife, outside the male protagonist and inside the female protagonist, these are all dead to the accounts of our Hou Mansion, as well as private property, and they will be handed over to Mrs. to deal with in the future." ’

Then he took two thin booklets, quickly turned around and left.

The rest of the Mo replied beside Mrs., in a word, the old housekeeper is not a thing, and he who specializes in making this thing to embarrass his own Hou Ye, so he relies on his wife to help Hou Ye solve his worries. I can't let the old steward see the joke, the account books have been handed over, and they still don't understand it.

Sister Fang laughed angrily when she was made of ink: "Okay, don't toss around here, remember to ask your Hou Ye to send you more monthly money, it's not easy for your Hou Ye." ”

Seeing that Mrs. had answered, Langmo went down happily. Looking for Hou Ye to report the good news, he said that Mrs. is an atmospheric person, and she will definitely not ignore Hou Ye.

Looking at these account books, if the four big girls are here, a few of them will have to work for a few days, not to mention that now Ah Shou, Shuangqiao, and Ah Fu are not there, pointing at the two of them, it is too troublesome. Sister Fang directly asked people to carry the account books to the outer study, and by the way, Steward Lu brought his wife and a bunch of account gentlemen over. She took Ah Fu and Shuangmao, as long as she looked at the total sum of the annual ledger. (To be continued.) )
