Inexplicably sighed for a while, Li Zexuan raised his feet and walked towards the southernmost courtyard.

That place was a random area with better lighting, but he didn't expect that there would be a hot spring there, and if he had known, he wouldn't have designed this villa so stingy in the first place.

Because his previous idea was just to get a temporary residence here, after all, it was only a few steps away from Yanhuang Academy, but now that there is an unavoidable hot spring here, Li Zexuan is a little bit of a desire to build a larger residence, at least the scale should be about the same size as the Li Mansion now, and it can be regarded as a manor of the Li family outside Chang'an City at that time.

Although it will cost a lot more money in this way, Li Zexuan is not bad for money now, in his opinion, he has earned so much money, wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't enjoy it~?

"Hey~! Owner, are you here~? ”

When he came to the gate of his own courtyard, Li Zexuan met an acquaintance.

"Gu Xiaomao~? What are you doing here~? ”

Li Zexuan asked strangely.

According to Yan Shaoning, now all the craftsmen of Yanhuang Academy are concentrating on building the remaining buildings, and Gu Xiaomao, as the captain of the eighth team of a group, has no reason to hang around here~!

Gu Xiaomao hurriedly replied: "Back to the east, Commander Yan ordered me to take the time to bring a few people here today, and conduct a comprehensive investigation against the construction drawings to see if there are any construction omissions, he said that the academy is about to open, and these other courtyards are likely to be put into use soon, and there can be no difference~!" ”

When Li Zexuan heard this, he suddenly said angrily in his heart: "Okay, you Yan Shaoning, you have obviously arranged for someone to come over to investigate, but you deliberately didn't tell me, causing me to run a special trip, you kid definitely did it on purpose~!" ”

"Oh~! Then have you finished the investigation~? ”

Li Zexuan adjusted his feelings and asked.

Gu Xiaomao took out a piece of paper, nodded and said: "Hey, the owner, after the investigation, nothing has been missed in your courtyard, but on the side of the No. 7 courtyard, there are two fences and a stone bench missing, and I will bring someone over to repair it after reporting to Commander Yan for a while~!" ”

Li Zexuan's eyes glanced at the piece of paper slightly, and found that there was not a single Chinese character on it at all, it was full of patterns of ghost drawing symbols, obviously, Gu Xiaomao had never gone to school. But even so, the attitude of this job is remarkable.

"Xiao Mao, last month's evaluation, how many places did you rank in your group~?"

Li Zexuan asked seemingly casually.

"Hey~!"

Gu Xiaomao scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and replied: "Last month, we won the first place in a group, and everyone's salaries were doubled, and the group I led was rated as one of the five best groups, and I was rewarded with five dollars, plus the salary and some bounties in the month, there are about nearly ten dollars, I have never seen so much money in my life~!" Thank you to the owner~! ”

Feeling the happiness of this young man from the heart, Li Zexuan's slightly bored mood gradually improved, and he smiled: "Xiaomao, you don't have to thank me, these are all you got with your own hands~!" And you have achieved such good results with a group of eight teams, Qingque, the original captain, probably has to thank you~! ”

Where did Gu Xiaomao dare to answer this, he knew Li Tai's true identity.

"By the way, Xiaomao, you are working here, has the autumn harvest at home been affected~?"

Gu Xiaomao bowed and said: "This doesn't have much impact, but I heard my father say that this year's harvest is one to two percent less than last year's, fortunately, the owner is kind-hearted and gives me such a high salary, with this money, the grain that my family has reduced will have no impact~!" ”

Li Zexuan's face became a little solemn, and he suddenly remembered the problem of Hanjiazhuang's grain production reduction that Han Yuxi told him a while ago, so he asked: "Xiaomao, is it only your family whose grain harvest has decreased~?" ”

Gu Xiaomao shook his head and said, "No, the owner~!" No one in our village has more harvests than last year, and the harvest of several families has even decreased by more than 30%~! Alas~! They are not as lucky as me to meet such a good owner as you, I estimate that they will definitely starve before the autumn harvest next year~! ”

Li Zexuan was silent, they saved one family, but they couldn't save thousands of families~! He patted Gu Xiaomao's shoulder and said, "Okay, you don't have to worry, the imperial court must have a way~!" ”

"Hmm~!"

Gu Xiaomao nodded in a low mood.

Seeing this, Li Zexuan diverted the topic and said: "Xiaomao, how much money have you earned in the past two months~?" ”

If someone else asked, Gu Xiaomao's first feeling must be that the other party must have taken a fancy to his money, but Li Zexuan asked, it was different, Gu Xiaomao summed it up a little, and replied: "There should be fifteen~!" ”

Gu Xiaomao's team performs positively, often ranking among the best in every evaluation, the salary is actually not much, but the bonus is really much, so there is a miracle of earning fifteen times in two months.

After so long, Li Zexuan is no longer the little white who doesn't understand anything, he understands very well what fifteen runs mean to an ordinary person's family, so he asked: "That little mao, have you ever thought about what to do with this money~?" ”

Gu Xiaomao was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and said: "My father, my mother wants me to use the money I earn to ask for a daughter-in-law, but I don't want to start a family so early, I want to use the money to buy medicine for my mother first, and cure her illness, if there is any leftover, I plan to use it as capital and go to Chang'an City to do some small business~!" ”

Li Zexuan was surprised: "Your mother is sick~?" ”

Gu Xiaomao replied sadly: "Well, my mother fell ill when she gave birth to me, and then she often became dizzy, and she was prone to leg pain, which has become more and more serious in recent years, and my father didn't dare to let her get out of bed to work~!" In the past, the doctor said that my mother could make up for it if she took some medicine to replenish her body, but... But the medicine was too expensive, and my family couldn't afford it, so I just... It's been delayed until now~! Therefore, this time I must cure my mother's illness~! ”

Li Zexuan praised: "Good~! Xiaomao, your idea is right, filial piety comes first, I support your decision~! ”

Gu Xiaomao was a little embarrassed to be praised, and he said shyly: "Thank you, the owner~!" ”

"Then what business do you plan to do after you cure your mother's illness~?"

I don't know why, Li Zexuan suddenly wanted to get closer to the world of this simple peasant child, perhaps, because he was also a peasant child in his previous life~!

Gu Xiaomao thought for a while and said, "As long as you don't break the law." I want to make more money, build a big house like these other courtyards in the future, and then go to ask for a wife, and then I will send my son to study in such a magnificent academy as Yanhuang Academy, if he can't pass the exam in one year, I will let him take the exam for two years, and if he can't take the exam for three years in two years........."
