"Fù people's opinion!" Luo Tianqiu scolded in his heart. ####但是他没有说出口. The big nǎinǎi mother's family also has quite a squire with liliang. And on weekdays, the housekeeper is still virtuous, and the current situation outside is luàn, and the first thing is to "family harmony". He only shook his head and said, "Now is the time to buy people's hearts, and you are not afraid to give this gang of mud tuǐzi to the thieves!" ”

Da nǎinǎi thought about it too, so he had to sigh indignantly. Take care of the girl's food and accompany him to eat. One box contains eight snacks and six plates of rice. Da nǎinǎi poured Luo Tianqiu a cup of wine. The wine was bought from Guangzhou by the trustees, and Luo Tianqiu liked this pure and sweet soju very much, without any miscellaneous taste, and the wine was mellow. Packed in a crystal bottle, it is very comfortable to look at. 大nǎinǎi also uses this wine to soak yào materials.

"There's not much wine left. I asked the steward to buy it, saying that the winery in Guangzhou had been seized by the government. The days are getting more and more luàn. "Da nǎinǎi saw him drinking, and the prison sāo came out again.

Luo Tianqiu smiled: "That wine shop belongs to a thief, of course it has to be sealed." ”

"A thief? Isn't it Australian? ”

"A thief is an Australian, and an Australian is a thief."

"Oh my God! Isn't Pei Xiuli, who is famous in Guangzhou City, just a mother-in-law? But everyone said she was handsome......"

"This, Australians can also be regarded as a kind of Chinese." Luo Tianqiu has been socializing in the county town these days, and he has heard a lot about the origin of thieves or Australians, "They claim to be descendants of the Great Song Yashan. I heard that the first one surnamed Wen is still a descendant of Prime Minister Wen. ”

"Isn't that the queen of loyalty?" 大nǎinǎi was taken aback.

"If it is really after the Yashan Song people, of course everyone is after the loyal ministers. ####跟着xiǎo皇帝抛家别业的漂洋过海去海外蛮荒之地, can you not be a loyal minister? Luo Tianqiu heard a lot of news about the origin of Australians, and at this time, a glass of wine was down, and the conversation also came up, "It's just that people are loyal ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, and they have nothing to do with this dynasty." ”

"Loyal ministers are always good people...... "Da nǎinǎi doesn't read much, and the concept of playing is to look at words."

Luo Tianqiu sighed heavily: "The Australians occupied Lingao, and now they are surrounding Qiongzhou." Tiger Mén also broke it for them, and it won't take many days to hit Guangzhou! Better don't come to us......"

The big nǎinǎi turned out to be the legendary thief who kills people like hemp, and the magnifying cannon is like thunder, and the half-demon is a bit of a turn for a while. She has a great affection for all kinds of things made by Australians, and now she feels sorry to hear that Australians have become thieves who do all kinds of evil.

"It would be nice if Australians were willing to recruit An. I think the imperial court will give them what kind of place to be in it. The Franc machine people are all borrowed to live in the mirror. ”

Luo Tianqiu thought that this was actually an ideal way, but unfortunately the people in power in the court would not agree. He said vaguely: "The thief is not good, I'm afraid things are not so simple." ”

After lunch, Da nǎinǎi was originally going to be xiǎo concubine to serve shì he rested and played a zhongjue. Luo Tianqiu couldn't sleep: the thief was imminent, and he had to be completely prepared. Moreover, the autumn harvest has begun, and the matter of rent collection and rent collection is about to be put on the agenda. Housework also has to be taken care of.

"I'd better go to the outer courtyard and have a look first." Luo Tianqiu wiped his face and went to the outer house.

The place where he specializes in housekeeping is called "Zhangmao Hall", and the three-bay hall is all open, and there is a bluestone courtyard outside. And some of his stewards, stewards, and bookkeepers stood in solemn halls waiting for his instructions.

Luo Tianqiu didn't look at the account book of the prepared haode, and he didn't ask anything, but just said: "Go and rent a house!" ”

The Luo family's rented courtyard is very large, and the walls, like other courtyards, are all made of bricks and stones. ####墙头和mén楼都很高 - This is to prevent the enemy from setting fires, and the rented yard is full of rice, chaff, rice bran, and straw and the like, and it is easy for people to set fires. A high wall is a necessary precaution. The mén building is very thick, there are two thick large méns wrapped in iron sheets, which are topped with thick poles at the mouth of the bowl, which cannot be smashed with axes and wooden sticks, and there is a xiǎo attic at the mouth of the mén, and when necessary, the family can climb up and hit through the shè holes. In the famine years, the peasants rose up to resist rent, or the bandits entered the town, and the bows and arrows and three-eyed guns were guarded on the wall of the courtyard of the Great Mén, and hundreds of people could not rush in.

Not only the rented courtyard, but all the courtyards of the Luo family were built according to such standards. After the closure of various places, the Luo family compound became like a city within a city. The various courtyards of the Luo family are connected by mezzanine roads. The inner mén in the aisle of dawn opens, and it is connected into a whole. After dark, each mén is locked and becomes a world of its own.

Luo Tianqiu crossed the mezzanine and came to the rental courtyard. The large mén of the rented courtyard was open, and in the middle was a large open space of masonry, but it was empty at the moment - the time for the lease had not yet arrived. Around the courtyard are rows of houses, where the bookkeepers of the rented courtyard do their business and live, and in the middle is the place where the rent is checked, with three open halls with canopies, and several large scales are pressed in front of the mén. Baskets, brooms, and straw bags were piled up as high as a mountain, all for rent collection.

Luo Tianqiu looked at it and felt quite satisfied. People who do things do things with heart. He nodded in satisfaction and headed back to the backyard.

The backyard of the rented yard is a warehouse where grain and straw are stacked. The warehouses are very clean. Luo Tianqiu asked how much food he had last year, he had another account in his heart, and he was satisfied when he listened to the number reported by the steward and his memory. Luo Tianqiu asked someone to open a warehouse at will, and the number of points was not cleared in the account. See if there is any difference in the type and quality of the stored grain.

In several of them, he found that there was an obvious problem, the total amount of grain was right, but the grain was very old - he remembered that this batch of grain had not aged too badly when he inspected it last year. Luo Tianqiu sneered, needless to say, he was playing Li Daitao's trick again. He glanced at the men behind him. The phrase "dogs can't change their eating" suddenly came to his heart, to say that which of these people did not receive his great favor? Some people also have a "love relationship" with other people - Sun Yùlin, the steward of these libraries, was originally his scholar and prostitution, and he loved this "xiǎoyùer" very much, and the two were more intimate than husband and wife. Later, when "xiǎoyùer" got older, he came out to be the best and worst in this grain storehouse. In less than five years, the originally handsome young man has become more féi and coarse, and he has almost learned the ability to guard and steal himself!

Luo Tianqiu didn't have a seizure on the spot, he was vicious and ruthless, but he never easily said what he really thought. In the past two years, he has not watched his subordinates as closely as he used to -- the water is clear and there are no fish. What's more, the world has gradually developed a luàn phase, and being too harsh on the subordinates will only attract the resentment of the xiǎo people. If someone has the malicious intention to seduce the bandits and make an internal response, the consequences will be very serious.

He had to settle this matter quietly. He made up his mind, but remained silent. Then I had to go to the west side of the rented courtyard.

"Sir, where are you going to do something? Dirty and smelly......" the butler asked in surprise.

"Check it out." Luo Tianqiu said simply.

The West Side Courtyard is called the "Reminder Office" to the outside world, but it is actually a prison cell set up by the Luo family. Jiāo tenants who did not rent their children and who owed debts would be caught here, tortured and imprisoned.

The courtyard mén of the west side courtyard is very xiǎo, locked, and there are a few family members sitting at the entrance of the mén with a knife holding a whistle, and when they see the arrival of the head of the house, they quickly open the closed big mén. The steward inside also rushed out to greet him.

The courtyard was very large, and there were more than 100 people in arrears of rent and debts in the surrounding group houses, some of them were mourning and weeping, and some of them were moaning in pain.

In the middle of the courtyard, there was also a bloodied man with a big butt tied to the torture bench, who was screaming loudly. There were a few cracked bamboo planks thrown on the ground. Two or three topless men were sitting on the sidelines drinking water.

Luo Tianqiu originally didn't care about this kind of thing, but now the situation is different. The thieves are close at hand, and there are still so many people in their own house, so it will be difficult to do it if any of the family's relatives have bad ideas to seduce the thieves to attack Sanliang City.

"What's the matter with this man?"

"Back to the master's words! This is Hao Shengke. Last year's rent was not full of jiāo.,Write a sweet knot.,This year there is still no jiāo out.。 asked him to take his wife to work in the house for a few years to pay off his debts, and he deduced that he had already divorced his wife - this is not a clear attempt to deceive the master...... "The steward scolded viciously as he spoke, "I will play dead after a few beatings!" ”

"Master, xiǎo don't dare to say a ......" Hao Shengke saw that it was Master Luo coming, and he was immediately frightened. Gu couldn't hurt and screamed for mercy: "It's not xiǎo's intentional resistance, it's really that the old lady who was last year had a serious illness and pulled down the deficit!" I also hope that the lord will have a grace period of a few months, and xiǎo's will be paid off with interest......"

"It's Hao Shengke, forget it, he's also an old tenant for several generations." Luo Tianqiu said slowly, "You are treating the old lady, and it can be regarded as filial piety!" Master, I'll open the net, this board is worth your old debt. As he spoke, he said to the steward, "Clean up for him, let him go back!" ”

The steward was stunned for a moment, and after a moment came back to his senses, he hurriedly beckoned someone to go over and release the rope from the torture bench.

"You're lucky! The lord is very kind today! ”

Hao Shengke was stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses until he was put on the ground and kicked by the steward, and quickly lay on the ground and kowtowed a few times to be taken down.

"The people in charge of this western courtyard have all been cleared." Luo Tianqiu ordered the person in charge, "Let go of the big things." ”
