After Long Hanfeng and Guo Ruyu got married, they began to run their family and property in Shuntian Mansion.

Long A has been a human being, so he quickly adapted to the role of Long Hanfeng.

However, Hua Zi, Hua Zi used to be a pure heifer, so it was difficult for her to adapt to the brand new role of Guo Ruyu!

In order to let Hanako adapt to the dual role of Guo Ruyu and Long Hanfeng's wife as soon as possible, Ah Long began a difficult road of education for Hanako.

For the future development of this family, Aaron not only has to help Hanako adapt to the new environment and new life, but at the same time, Aaron has to think about a lot of questions.

He thought that the reason why Long Tianwei, Long Mengwen and others let him get the Guo family's property was that they must have thought that it was much easier to snatch these properties from his Long Hanfeng than it was to snatch these assets directly from Guo Baichuan, so Ah Long thought that sooner or later, several villains of the Long family would gradually embezzle and snatch this commercial street from him and Guo Ruyu!

If such a thing happens, his family will lose their only source of livelihood!

If this development continues, it will not take a year or two for them to be so poor that they will have nothing to eat, and at that time, they can only live a life of wandering, begging for food and wandering!

Thinking of these things, Aaron felt a cold sweat break down his spine again!

When Ah Long was working as a junior in an antique shop in the capital, when he encountered a similar problem, he would go to ask for advice, the tiger aunt he admired very much! And Tiger Gu can generally give him a very satisfactory coping strategy, or answer!

But now, there is no such person as Hugu by Ah Long's side, and even if there is, Ah Long can't believe them!

Ah Long knew that without the help of external forces, according to his current ability to analyze and judge things, he would not be able to deal with the problems in front of him.

Now, Hanako is the most reliable person in Aaron, but Hanako has no experience in being a person, and she definitely doesn't know how cunning, insidious, and vicious people are!

Therefore, Ah Long can only hold a lot of words in his heart, he doesn't dare to tell Hanako too many things, Ah Long is worried that Hanako is thinking, talking and doing! In this way, she will not only kill herself, but also the people in the entire Shuntian Mansion will be miserable!

At this time, Aaron could only silently bear these thoughts and troubles.

Therefore, these days, in addition to dealing with household chores, educating Hanako on how to adapt to the role, and learning history, the art of war, martial arts and spells from the three teachers, Ah Long began to go around the outside of Shuntian Mansion, and he began to get familiar with the internal environment of Xianyuan City, as well as the commercial street belonging to Guo Ruyu on the south side of Chengdong Street.

Xianyuan City is a square, and the city is divided into four urban areas, such as the southwest, northwest, northeast, and southeast districts, which are arranged with the north and south streets of the city center line!

The southwest area is the city's industrial and commercial area, mainly agricultural and sideline products processing, liquor, oil, soy sauce and vinegar various handicraft workshops, cattle, sheep and pig slaughterhouses, as well as grain, meat, tea, agricultural and sideline products of farmers' markets, agricultural tools and home workshops, spinning and weaving workshops, commodities and groceries markets, etc., in short, in this processing and market area includes materials and commodities related to the city's life and work, etc., everything is here!

The northwest area is the military control area of the city, where there is the Dragon Mansion, and is stationed in the Xianyuan County Terracotta Metropolitan Supervisor General Barracks under the management of the Great Song Dynasty Military Department, the military barracks of the Garrison Army under the management of the Xianyuan County Yamen, as well as the gun repair office, military material manufacturing plant and warehouse are all in this area.

The Northeast District is the administrative district of the city, there are Xianyuan County Yamen, Xianyuan Town Yamen, as well as the public security office, arrest center, prison under the management of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, the household registration office under the Ministry of Households, the land and property rights registration office, the tax and labor apportionment office, etc., all arranged in this area, of course, the officials and messengers of Xianling County, as well as their families, all live in this area.

The southeast is the noble living area of the city such as luxury business, entertainment services, and the residence of the wealthy, and the Shuntian Mansion where Ah Long and his family live, as well as the commercial street under the name of Guo Ruyu, Guo Mansion and so on are in this area.

Guo Ruyu's commercial street, 2,000 meters long, 200 meters wide, they are three-story wooden structure, brick wall buildings, a total area of 1.2 million square meters, together with 2,000 sets of three-storey connected, an area of 600 square meters of standard shops, of course, two sets of shops close to each other can be connected between the floors of the operation.

The average rent of each set of standard shops, which is 600 square meters of three-storey shops connected up and down the street, is 25 taels of silver per year, so that the normal annual rental income is 50,000 taels of silver, and the rental business tax rate of the tax and labor apportionment office is 5%, so the normal profit income of this commercial street is 47,500 taels of silver!

Since the Yamen collects taxes at the beginning of the year, the landlord of this commercial street also collects a year's rent from the merchants who lease the shops, and then pays a tax of 2,500 taels of silver to the Yamen, otherwise, the Yamen will come to block this commercial street.

Therefore, Long Tianwei owes two years of rent to this commercial street, which is equivalent to Guo Baichuan helping Long Tianwei pay taxes for two years! Therefore, Guo Baichuan made a loss-making deal with Long Tianwei, and it can be expected that Guo Baichuan hates Long Tianwei, the old devil!

This commercial street is the most lively and prosperous commercial street in the city, there are shops on this street, real estate trading agents, bulk commodity trading firms, carriage and horse supplies stores, silk shops, tailor shops, gold and silver jewelry shops, restaurants, teahouses, hotels, casinos, money villages, pawnshops, green buildings, theaters, bath shops, massage parlors, etc.

Therefore, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., the street is always bustling with traffic, bustling, and crowded, and the cries of hawking come and go!

After learning about the environment of the whole city and the basic situation of this commercial street, Ah Long believed that he would immediately set up a management team, and in the future, let this management team be responsible for the management of the "lease contract" such as the collection of rents by merchants in the commercial street, the promotion of merchants, and the removal of merchants, and be responsible for the coordination between the Shuntian Mansion and the yamen such as the tax and labor apportionment office.

Although Ah Long is already a dragon cold wind on the outside, he is still the second shopkeeper in the antique shop in the capital in essence, Long Taixuan!

He knew that he needed a mentor in life and career, but now he didn't dare to have such extravagant hopes, because, in the Shuntian Mansion, he didn't dare to trust any retainers and servants easily!

Ah Long had just been beheaded once, and he knew very well that it was very dangerous to easily trust people, and if he didn't trust the goldfish-eyed boss, he wouldn't have been beheaded!

However, Aaron feels that maybe he is too suspicious and cautious now!

Long Taixuan is a kind child! Therefore, he still believes that there should be a good person everywhere, and he feels that his martial arts coach Yi Shanhe is straightforward, loyal and honest, therefore, Ah Long thinks that he may be a good person!

Therefore, Ah Long secretly decided to talk to Master Yi Shanhe first and discuss with him how to form a commercial street management team.

One afternoon, Ah Long invited Yi Shanhe to the Longgui Building of Shuntian Mansion, where he drank tea and talked in the living room of his study.

Ah Long smiled and said, "Teacher Yi! We've known each other for a few months now! You know, back in the day, I was just an idle playboy! Suddenly, I got married to Guo Ruyu, and my father asked me to be this family again! Seriously, I don't know how I should manage and run this home! However, I know that this family consumes a lot of silver taels every day! If this family has no operating income, after a year or two, this family will definitely close down and break up! I really don't want this to happen right in front of my eyes! Therefore, I would like to immediately set up a management team for the commercial street of Suncheonfu and take charge of the business of the commercial street belonging to Suncheonbou! Teacher Yi! You are many people in Xianyuan Town, and you are highly respected! Can you introduce me to some of the business experts in this area?! ”

Yi Shanhe said: "Young Master Long! You're welcome! You and I have a master-apprentice relationship! We are our own family! I know that the business insider and doorway of the commercial street are very deep! In the future, you will have to deal with the government, and there will be many villains, liars and scoundrels, etc.! It's not easy to earn this money! My son Yi Bender! 18 years old this year, he originally gave Guo Baichuan's eldest son Guo Wanqian, and did an errand for rent collection in Xianyuan Town Commercial Street! Therefore, EBENDA is very familiar with this aspect of business! Now, Yi Bende is at Hugua Ferry, Xianyuan County, and follows the messenger there as a temporary inspector! If Young Master Long needs my son, I can ask him to come to Shuntian Mansion to help you with things!" As for my son's salary, you can talk to him yourself! ”

Ah Long smiled and said, "Okay! Tell your son to come and interview me!" I want to put this management team together as soon as possible! Teacher Yi! Can you help us see who is better suited to do this among my house slaves?! ”

Yi Shanhe said: "Young Master Long! I once saw Huang Shunyu, Huang Ergouzi helped Guo Baichuan collect the rent of the shop, and the Ergouzi fist and foot kung fu are very powerful! Because he injured several arrogant merchants when he was earning, Guo Baichuan was worried that he would get into trouble again, so he let him and his son Golden House and others go to farm outside the city! In the past few years, I see that Huang Shunyo's temper has changed a lot! You can have Huang Shunyu and Golden House join your management team! ”

......

On the morning of the third day of Ah Long's conversation with Yi Shanhe, Yi Shanhe took his son Yi Bende to Longgui Building, Ah Long's study and living room.

After Yi Shanhe introduced Ah Long and Yi Bende to each other, he went to do other things!

Yi Bende is a dignified-looking young man, burly, more than 1.8 meters tall, he is as tall as Ah Long!

After Mr. Yi left, the two of them sat on the sofa in the living room drinking tea and talking.

Yi Bende smiled and said, "Young Master Long! My father said, you need to find a supervisor here who collects rent for the commercial street and deals with the yamen! In the past, I followed Guo Wanqian, and Master Guo has done this for several years! Therefore, I know the nature and habits of these merchants better! At the same time, I am very familiar with the officials and messengers in the yamen! If, Young Master Long doesn't dislike himself for being stupid! Give me a chance to try it out! If, I don't have this ability, I can't meet Young Master Long's requirements! I'd rather not take Young Master Long's salary! ”

Aaron smiled and said, "Brother Bend! You are too modest! I believe in your abilities and character! Therefore, I am going to hire you now to be the supervisor of rent collection and coordination of all parties in the commercial street of Suncheonbu! You see, in the future, how will I settle your salary?! ”

Yi Bende smiled and said, "Thank you Young Master Long for your appreciation!" The position of the rent collector has rules in Xianyuan Town, and the salary is two taels of silver per month, and in normal times, the owner gives them food and accommodation, and also pays office expenses, tea expenses, and errand fees! Wages are paid at the beginning of the following month! ”

Aaron smiled and said, "Oh! We can afford this salary and treatment! So, when will Brother Bender be able to come to me to sign a contract with me and officially work?! ”

Yi Bende said: "Young Master Long! My errand at the Hugua Ferry will not be completed until the end of the month! In this way, on the eighth day of the next month, I will officially come here to work! ”

Aaron said, "Okay! Now, there are still more than ten days until the eighth day of next month! During this time, I will arrange an office and a place to stay for you in the front yard of Suncheonfu! At the same time, I'll give you a few helpers to do specific things! When you come over, you're ready to get to work! ”

After the matter was discussed, Yi Bende went to say goodbye to his father, Yi Shan Daodao.

After Yi Bende left, Ah Long asked Xi'er to call Huang Shunyu, Golden House and other father and son.

Soon, Xi'er brought Huang Shunyu and the Golden House to Ah Long's living room.

Huang Shunyu has thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of muscles, is nearly 1.8 meters tall, and looks about 30 years old!

The appearance of a handsome boy in the Golden House, who is more than one meter seven tall, and now, he is almost ten years old!

Aaron asked them to sit down on the sofa to drink tea and talk, but neither of them dared to sit down!

Huang Shunyu lowered his head and said, "Young Master Long! Now, the two of us are slaves! You are our master, and we dare not be your equal! ”

Aaron smiled and said, "Alas! Now, why are you still talking about these rules! I'll let you sit, and sit down! Otherwise, won't you be again and disobey your master's orders?! ”

Everyone laughed!

So, the two fathers and sons of the Huang family sat on the sofa and talked to Ah Long!

Huang Shunyu smiled and said, "Young Master Long! You asked our father and son to come over just to make us have tea, right?! ”

Ah Long smiled and said, "Of course! At the beginning of next year, we will be responsible for collecting the rent of the shops on the southeast street of the city! I've just hired a supervisor of rent collection! On the first day of the next month, this supervisor will come to work in Shuncheonfu! I want the two of you to work under him! What do you guys think?! ”

Huang Shunyu smiled and said, "Young Master Long! In the past, I followed Master Guo Baichuan to do rent collection! Later, I wounded a couple of scoundrels! Mr. Guo asked me to go outside the city to farm! That's why we father and son are more than happy to do it! ”

The Golden House smiled and said, "Young Master Long! It takes a lot of brain and energy to do this! In addition to food and shelter, will you still pay us?! I think, when we have money, we have to redeem ourselves! We really don't want to live this kind of slave life without a little freedom! ”

Ah Long smiled and said, "At that time, I had to pay you another salary!" How much money do you owe Master Guo?! ”

The Golden House said, "Alas! Our Huang family has a bad year this year! Just after spring planting this year, I took two big buffaloes to the mountaintop pasture outside the city to graze! Who knows, these two big buffaloes were grazing, and suddenly they fell in love, and they chased each other, and suddenly fell under the cliff, and fell to their deaths! These two buffaloes are the treasures of the Guo family's farmhouse! Therefore, Master Guo calculated that these two buffaloes were worth 400 taels of silver, and the Guo family asked me and my father and others to compensate so many taels of silver! Our wages for a year's farm work in Guo's family don't add up to 20 taels of silver! Therefore, my father and I had to sell ourselves into slavery! ”

Aaron said, "Oh! You've met two buffaloes in heat, and they've jumped off a cliff! This thing is really bizarre! Okay, as long as you father and son are serious about helping me collect five years of rent! As long as you don't make mistakes in your work! When the time comes, I will free you from slavery! And, give you a sum of money to do what you want to do! What do you think?! ”

Huang Shunyu smiled and said, "Young Master Long! You are truly a bodhisattva! We followed the right host! Young Master Long, don't worry, I'm very familiar with the details of these leasing merchants, and I don't know how many times I've turned over their little fancy intestines! As long as they see my Huang Ergouzi standing in front of their shop, they will definitely obediently send the rent to Young Master Long! ”

Ah Long smiled and said, "Huang Er Dog! You can't brag in front of me! My father Long Tianwei's rent, do you dare to collect it like this?! ”

Huang Shunyu smiled and said, "Alas! Master Long has the support of the Long family army, as well as a few fart officials of the yamen! He will definitely dare not to pay rent to the Guo family! But, now, aren't you your dad's owner?! You father and son will still pay each other's debts?! ”

Everyone laughed!

Aaron said, "Alas! You know, I'm the son of my stepmother! Therefore, my dad must be on my account! Tell me, how can I get my dad's rent?! ”

The Golden House smiled and said, "Young Master Long! It's not that hard to do! As long as you can do it, when your dad doesn't pay you rent, your dad will immediately feel sick and feel sad! In this way, your father will definitely give you the rent obediently! ”

Aaron smiled and said, "Alas! Okay, you're a cat and a dog! You don't help the master find a way! You still give the master a problem?! Don't you want to live anymore?! ”

Everyone laughed!

Huang Shunyu smiled and said, "Young Master Long! What a good plan for a cat! In fact, the tax collectors hate your father Long Tianwei very much! Because, relying on his own power, your father never took these petty officials seriously, and never paid them a penny in taxes! However, behind that official, isn't there a row of backers?! Young Master Long, as long as you dare to report your father for tax evasion! The government will definitely dare to close your father's shop! The royal law is better than the scoundrel's method, right?! When the time comes, will your father not obediently pay you rent?! ”

Aaron said, "Alas! Then there is a reason for a son to report his father?! However, there is some truth in what you say! In fact, the taxes that these tenants did not pay were paid by our landlords! Therefore, in the future, we will let the merchants pay their own taxes! When the tax amount is verified, the tax office must ask the landlord to verify it with the contract! In this way, we can also receive rent from robbers! As for whether my father will give me rent or not, I will talk about it slowly in the future! At least let his old man owe me a debt of affection! ”

Huang Shunyu smiled and said, "That's it! Wait for that supervisor to come to work in Suncheonfu! Young Master Long! You just let him go and clear the personnel of the government! Now, people in the government, who doesn't want to charge a little more money?! ”

Aaron said, "Very good! Two dogs, cats! This matter must be kept secret, and the whole content of our conversation just now can only be known to the three of us! If, let my dad know, I use this method to calculate him! He's sure he's killing me! Do you understand? From today, the two of you will find a few wings in the front yard of Shuntianfu, next to the reception building, to be the office and accommodation room of the Shuntianfu rent collection office! You hurry up and lay them out, and put away the "lease contract" and bills of the shops on the south side of Dongdajie given by Mr. Guo Baichuan, as well as the documents and files of the tenants! If you encounter something you don't understand, you should hurry up and ask Mr. Guo or his housekeeper, Mr. Mu Sansi! ”

The father and son of the Huang family stood up and said in unison, "Thank you young master for cultivating!" ”

Then, Huang Shunyu, Golden House and others left the living room, and they began to prepare for the Shuntianfu rent collection office and other things!

......
