"Oh, hey, stand still! This is the Yong'an Hou Mansion, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter without permission! If you want to find my lord, please go to Yunshan! ”

The county seat of Lantian County, Yong'an Fang, in front of the Hou Mansion.

Just when Li Zexuan raised his feet and wanted to enter the door, a small guy suddenly popped out next to the porch and blocked him.

That little guy is also a discerning person, he saw that although Li Zexuan's clothes were not extremely luxurious, the extraordinary temperament on his body was obviously not something that ordinary sons could have, so he left a little politeness between his words!

Li Zexuan saw this little house, and knew that it should be a little guy newly recruited by his father and mother, saying that the area of this Hou Mansion is five or six times that of the original mansion in Chang'an City, and if you want to take care of such a big family, you must recruit more servants.

"Haha! You, this little guy, as a member of the Hou Mansion, don't you know your own Hou Ye? You really don't know the true God in person! ”

Before Li Zexuan could speak, Liu Feng behind him couldn't help but laugh.

This is also for the sake of this little guy's more polite speech, so he didn't speak ill of each other.

"Huh? You... You are Master Hou! ”

That little guy is not a stupid person, he doesn't think that anyone will dare to pretend to be a prince in front of the Hou Mansion, after all, there are still Li Zexuan's father and mother living in this mansion and many people from the Li Mansion in Chang'an City! If someone pretended to be Li Zexuan here, wouldn't it be immediately exposed?

Yes, after listening to Liu Feng's words, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, he was very frightened in his heart, and hurriedly bent down to Li Zexuan and saluted: "Master Hou forgives the sin, the little one is also a newcomer, he doesn't know the true body of the Hou Ye with eyes, and the small sin deserves death~!" ”

Li Zexuan didn't bother with a subordinate in his own house, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay!" As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty, and besides, there is nothing wrong with you, what is your name? ”

Seeing that Li Zexuan didn't look angry, the little guy couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he got up and said when he heard the words: "Master Hou, the little one is called Wang Baile, I am the ninth in the family, and everyone calls me Wang Jiu!" Master Hou, you can also call me that in the future! ”

Li Zexuan nodded, then patted Wang Baile on the shoulder and said, "Hmm! Bole, do a good job! Don't think that being a porter is a lifetime of no interest, this porter is very knowledgeable, the two former porters of the Hou Mansion can now help Ben Hou to be alone, they are your example! ”

Li Zexuan is talking about Sanbao and Ah Fu, these two people were originally just the gatekeepers of the Li Mansion, and now one is helping Li Zexuan open a mine in Shudi, and the other is assisting Fu Bo in the workshop, which can be regarded as a role model for the entire Li Mansion!

cough cough, but now the most envious of the Hou Mansion should be Xiaohe and Xiaoxi, after all, although these two people are also subordinates, they can wait by Li Zexuan's side all day long, and they are envious of others!

But this is just envy of the maids in the house, and the family is still envious of Sanbao and Ah Fu!

Hearing Li Zexuan say this, Wang Baile's heart was about to jump out, he felt that the blood in his body was already burning, so he bowed down excitedly and said: "Thank you Hou Ye for mentioning it, the little one must work hard and become a useful person to Hou Ye like Brother Sanbao!" ”

Li Zexuan nodded, didn't say anything more, and walked straight in!

............................

"Xuan'er, I just heard that the little guard at the house stopped you?"

The area of the Xinhou Mansion is larger, the interior is more luxurious, among which the rockery pool, pavilions and pavilions, contrast with each other, and now it is the middle of summer, the garden in the house is full of flowers, the forest is luxuriant, it is very beautiful, after a circle around the house, Li Zexuan accompanied the elders of the family to taste fairy tea under the gazebo in the garden, while chatting about gossip, Mrs. Li couldn't help but smile at this time.

"Mother, how can you worry about this trivial matter? There are a lot of newcomers in this house, they don't know me, that's normal, I'll know you after a few more times! ”

Li Zexuan was embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly said.

said that when he returned to his home, he was stopped by his own subordinates, and if this was spread, it was estimated that he would be laughed out of his big teeth.

Mrs. Li glanced at her son with disgust, and said with a smile:

"You! Are you embarrassed to say? It's not that you are busy with official business on weekdays, the new mansion has been built for so long, you don't come back to take a look, the new mansion is several times more than the previous mansion, and naturally you need more subordinates, those new subordinates don't know you now, who can blame them? ”

"What my mother taught me is that my son will definitely come back to live here more in the future!"

Li Zexuan hurriedly said.

Mrs. Li shook her head and said: "I don't mean to force you for my mother, Yanhuang Academy is where all your hard work is, you live next to it and take care of it, naturally it is understandable, as long as you can take the time to come back and have a look!" My son is determined to benefit tens of thousands of people in Lantian County, and I, the mother, can't be a stumbling block for you! ”

Although Li Zexuan was moved by his mother's reasonableness, he couldn't bear to watch the second elder guard this huge but empty mansion all day long, what is the difference between this and those empty nesters? So he hurriedly said:

"Mother, look at what you said, Yunshan is only two or three quarters of an hour away from Lantian County, the child lives here, and he can also take care of Yanhuang Academy, and when he is done with his work recently, the child and Yuxi will move back to live! Over there in Yunshan Annex, it can be regarded as a temporary small building! ”

He is now not only the head of Yanhuang Academy, but also the master of tens of thousands of people in Lantian County, what he has to consider is not only Yanhuang Academy, but also the livelihood problems of tens of thousands of people, such as this drought and the ruffians attracted by the outburst of merchants in the city, all of whom need him to come forward to solve them, and his people do not have the courage to do so, so it is a pretty good choice to sit in the city and command and dispatch in the center!

Mrs. Li was pleasantly surprised when she heard this: "Xuan'er, are you true? ”

Li Zexuan smiled slightly and said, "This is naturally true!" Oh, by the way, mother, where did all the new recruits in the house come from? Is it reliable? ”

As the so-called heart of harming people is indispensable, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, Li Zexuan has no intention of harming people, but for so many newcomers, he has to guard against it, after all, he has a special identity now, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be some people with ulterior motives mixed in, there are too many secrets in the Li Mansion that outsiders want to know!

Mrs. Li heard the words and replied: "These subordinates are naturally bought from the tooth shop, and the servants sent by other people's families naturally dare not use them for their mothers, these subordinates are all clean, and they have all passed through your father and your grandfather, they look at people's eyes, Xuan'er, you should always believe it, right?" ”

Could it be that Li Zexuan knows to beware of his subordinates? Mrs. Li naturally knew that after all, the drawings drawn by Li Zexuan stored in the Li Mansion were worth a thousand gold if they were placed outside, and it was difficult to guarantee that those subordinates with bad conduct would not be tempted!

Hearing this, Li Zexuan hurriedly nodded and said, "Since my father and grandfather personally check it, the child will naturally rest assured!" ”

Father Li and Ye Guozhong are both people who have gone through the vicissitudes of the world, and their eyes are naturally extremely accurate, and the subordinates of the Li Mansion were also personally selected by Li Jingmo in the past, although the appearance of bean sprouts before found out several of the "traitors", but there are a total of one or two hundred maids and servants in the house, but only a few traitors have appeared, which is enough to show that Li Jingmo's vision of people is extremely accurate~!

Li Jingmo snorted "arrogantly", as if he was saying, "Count your kid acquaintance"!

"Huh! When will you and Yuci move back to live in that Xuan'er? ”

Mrs. Li smiled and asked again.

Li Zexuan pondered for a moment and replied: "Mother! After the affairs of Yunshan are completed, the child will move back to live with his father! ”

"Huh! Instead of this, you kid might as well give birth to a big fat grandson for your mother, so that your mother and her won't be idle and bored, and she will talk about you every day! ”

At this time, Daddy Li, who was sitting on the side, joked.

As soon as these words came out, Old Madam Ye couldn't help but echo: "Hehe! That's right, that's right! Xiao Xuan, my grandmother also hopes to see my great-grandson in her lifetime~! ”

Although Mrs. Li didn't speak, the eager look in her eyes revealed what she was thinking, obviously, she did think so in her heart.

Li Zexuan's old face suddenly turned red, and he secretly said that his father's words are ambiguous, what do you mean by letting me give you a big fat grandson, do I have that function?

"Ahem! Father, mother, grandmother, this me and Yu Xi are still young, Yu Xi her body is also weak, this birth of a child is a big thing for a woman, and when her body will be raised a little stronger, let's talk about childbirth~! ”

Hearing Li Zexuan say this, Mrs. Li frowned slightly, but it was not easy to persuade again, after all, she is also a woman, and she knows that giving birth to a child is like walking through a ghost gate, before giving birth to a child, she should have a good birth and raise her body!

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Li smiled:

"Then when you move back to live, my mother will make food for you and Yuxi every day, and let you all make up for it!"

Rao is Li Zexuan is thick-skinned, and when he heard such a sentence coming out of his mother's mouth, he couldn't help but be embarrassed, he quickly got up and said: "Mother, my son is in good health, I don't need to make up anything, cough cough, the child still has something to do, so go back to Yunshan first~!" We'll be moving back in a few days! ”

After that, before Mrs. Li could react, Li Zexuan hurriedly fled, leaving Mrs. Li's strange voice in the air:

"This kid, are you still shy? It's not wrong to be a mother! Giving birth to a child is not a one-person thing, it is only right that both people should make up for it! ”

............................

In the afternoon of the same day, the notice of the Lantian County County Government to recruit people to repair the canal was posted at various key intersections inside and outside the county, ordering the Li Zheng of each Zhuangzi to report the number of people recruited to the county government before it gets dark tomorrow, and from the day after tomorrow, the project of repairing the canal will be officially launched, and all the people who participate in the repair of the canal can not only be exempted from three months of forced labor, but also get a daily salary of five cents and a full meal at noon!

And people over the age of thirteen, under the age of forty-five, and in good health can sign up!

When the news broke, the whole county shook!

This year has been particularly rainless, and farmland in many places has dried up, indicating that this year will be a year of great drought! For the ancient people, drought meant a decrease in grain production, and a decrease in grain production meant death, and many, many people would starve to death!

Therefore, although it is very hard to carry water to water the ground, there are still many people who will go to the river tirelessly to carry buckets of water!

Now the county government is willing to organize the people to repair the canal, even if the people don't want to be paid, it is 10,000 willing!

What's more, now not only pay wages, but also take care of food, and can also reduce the forced labor for three months, although since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the people's forced labor has been greatly reduced, but this thing, no one is too little, right?

Therefore, the people who saw the notice, men and women, young and old, flocked to the homes of each Lizheng and asked to sign up for the county's project to repair the canal! If there is no age limit of forty-five years old, it is estimated that those fifty or sixty-year-old old men and old ladies in every Zhuangzi will rush to sign up!

Everyone understood that once the canal was built, there would be no need to fetch buckets of water from the river, and all the crops in their fields would be saved!

But there are a few people in Zhuangzi who are not so enthusiastic, such as Yujiazhuang in the northernmost part of Lantian County!

"Lizheng, even if this canal is repaired to our Yujiazhuang, can the water in the Bahe River flow over? When the time comes, won't the fields in our Zhuangzi continue to be dry? ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! Zhong Lizheng! The terrain of our Yujiazhuang is so much higher than that of the Bahe River, instead of repairing the canal, we should continue to carry water to water the ground! If you can salvage a little field, you can save a little! It's better than repairing a canal! ”

"That's right! That's right! I haven't finished watering the nutrient bowl in my field! This repair canal, I can't go anymore! ”

In Yujiazhuang, in the courtyard of Zhonglizheng's house, there are many villagers, and the villagers are talking about it, in short, everyone's enthusiasm for repairing the canal is not very high!

"Folks, you all be quiet and listen to me!"

At this moment, Yu Dejing took a notice, walked to the crowd, and shouted loudly.

"It's Yu Xiucai!"

"Yu Xiucai, if you have anything to say, just say it! Let's all listen! ”

"That's right! Yu Xiucai, you read a lot of books, just to get an idea for us! ”

The people respected Yu Dejing very much, and they quickly quieted down.

Seeing this, Yu Dejing said: "Fellow villagers, look at this notice, but it is clearly and clearly written that after the canal is repaired, the water of the Bahe River can be guaranteed to irrigate all the farmland in Lantian County, so that the people of Lantian County will all be spared the suffering of drought!" What does this mean? It shows that the land of our Yujiazhuang can also be moistened by the water of the Bahe River!

This notice comes from the county government of Lantian County, such a huge project, it is definitely not something that He County can make a decision by himself, and Master Hou must also know! But since this notice can be published, what does it mean? It shows that this is also Hou Ye's guarantee to us, you don't believe that the water of the Bahe River can flow to Yujiazhuang, but don't you still believe Hou Ye? Whether you believe it or not, anyway, I, Yu Dejing, will definitely believe Master Hou! ”
