"I've seen the son."

Li Yi bowed and then stood up straight, his attitude was not necessarily very respectful.

"Oh, Gong Li, please come into the house and sit." Xu Zixian did not wear official clothes, changed into a homely robe, he reached out and made a hand gesture, and invited Li Yi to sit in the study.

Li Yi looked at the books placed in front of Xu Zixian's case and asked, "The prince is reading the Zhaoming anthology?" ”

"Take a look, it's actually already stacked." Xu Zixian smiled and said: "Showing it to others is like a peacock opening the screen, and it will always show its gorgeous side...... Actually, I've been watching the Water Margin of Loyalty recently. ”

When Li Yi heard this, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Shizi is really a witty word." Li Yi suddenly looked pensive, and said slowly: "I don't know if it's an illusion of the lower officials, since the prince fainted, he was confused for a long time, and then the person has changed a little, open-minded and cheerful, and often has witty words." And he acted with great discipline and perseverance, which was very different from before. ”

Xu Zixian was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "If people don't encounter some hardships, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to grow...... Half a year ago, I was afraid that Li Gong would not come to me to chat, and I did not have the mood and desire to chat with Li Gong. ”

If Li Yi thought about it carefully, he would have understood that a few months ago, how could he have the heart to sit here and chat with Xu Zixian? A handsome young man, full of aristocratic atmosphere, a spoiled hairy boy...... Although he has not done anything evil when he is young, and the reputation in the market is not good, how can Li Yi pretend to Xu Zixian?

The position of Fengchang is an official of the imperial court, from the rank of seven ranks. In addition to presiding over the daily affairs of the Hou Mansion, he must also be responsible for the imperial court and receive official salaries in the imperial court. This is the old custom of the Han Dynasty, the Hou State has a state minister, and Li Yi, who is a regular person, is the Hou State Minister in the Han Dynasty.

In addition to Fengchang, there are also lieutenants, guards and guests who are responsible for ushering in and sending them, and these three official positions are all official positions of the imperial court officials to check the order, and they can be transferred and transferred, all of which are from the seventh grade, and the Yulu is also issued by the imperial court.

The official affairs of the commissioner are appointed by the Hou Mansion, and the Ministry of Officials is recorded as an official, which is regarded as an order, but the Yu Lu is issued by the Hou Mansion itself.

There is also a secretary and accountant, who is in charge of the public account of the Hou Mansion, and is also a servant.

The treasurer is also a clerk.

Pedestrians and vice-pedestrians are all officials.

Hou Fuya will have one hundred people according to the system, all of them are eight grades, and two sentinels are from nine grades, which are also issued by the state to Yulu.

The generals were recruited and appointed by the Hou Mansion itself, and of course the Yu Lu was also issued by the Hou Mansion itself.

This point is far less than that of civil officials, when the prime minister of the dynasty Yuan followed 100 people, the governor Yuan followed 70 people, and the privy envoy Yuan followed 70 people, all of them were distributed by the imperial court on behalf of the money, food, and money.

The Hou Mansion now only has Fengchang, captains, guests, heads, and sentinels, all of which are vacant.

Xu Zixian himself only has food and clothing, how can he raise so many idlers, only in the Hou Mansion there are more than a dozen generals, that is to protect the Hou Mansion and the Nan'an Hou Temple, and the other is to protect the Marquis's silver seal, once the seal is lost, the temple is destroyed, theft, are all major crimes in addition to the Lord and destroy the country.

Xu Zixian said again: "When Li Gongshi came in, he had a sad face? ”

Li Yi looked at Xu Zixian with interest, the current Xu Zixian really made him feel very interesting......

"Guanzhuang's food is sealed and collected, once a month." Li Yi lowered his eyes, his attitude was calm, but he was obviously still worried, and he said slowly: "This month, I collected 12,500 yuan, but the Hou Mansion's expenditure was more than 87,000 yuan, and the deficit was too big, and it would be difficult to maintain it if it went on like this." ”

At that time, the price was expensive and silver was cheap, Xu Zixian knew that silver had not yet become an official currency at this time, and the circulation currency of the imperial court was still mainly copper coins, as well as a small amount of iron money and paper money, that is, Jiaozi. Silk cloth and silk also have the function of goods, and are quite popular with people, but this kind of thing is a luxury, and ordinary people do not use it.

You must know that the people also need to spend dozens of wen a day, and they need to spend more than 1,500 wen a month.

Xu Zixian was silent for a moment and said, "Gong Li knows that we are already trying to be as frugal as possible...... Try not to use many people, but there are places to use money for monthly money, rewards, daily meals, dressing and hats, and making shoes and socks. ”

Xu Zi looked at Li Yi first, and then said: "I am the general of the fourth grade, the marquis of the clan who is to be attacked, and I am very ashamed to talk about this." ”

"That's what the prince said."

"I'm going to try to." Xu Zixian said suddenly: "In addition to the official Lu, the exempt money of the main household, the income money of the main household and the hidden household, do Li Gong know about these?" ”

Li Yi looked at Xu Zixian and said: "The lower officials know it, but the accounts of the official village are more chaotic. ”

Xu Zixian tapped his fingers on the table and said, "It's still hateful for evil slaves to bully their masters." Tolerate indulgence and do not want to forge ahead, this is the failure of our generation. ”

Li Yi originally just had the attitude of chatting with Xu Zixian, he came to have other things tonight, but speaking of this, seeing Xu Zixian's attitude and hearing such a conversation, he also said solemnly: "If the prince has any advice, please speak up." ”

Xu Zi smiled and said, "Gong Li is planning to resign, right?" ”

Li Yi took a sign and said, "Why did the prince say this? ”

"I haven't seen Li Gong for more than ten days, and I heard Xu Ming say that Li Gong sent five or six letters in a row?"

Li Yi was quite shocked, he wrote some private letters, begging him to work for him in the northern state capital in the same year, but Xu Zixian is now so keen and observant.

Li Yi was in debt at the moment, and said with a wry smile: "Xia Guan hasn't drunk the water of his hometown for 20 years, so he is really a little homesick...... I also ask the son of the world to be fulfilled. ”

Xu Zixian pursed his lips and said: "The Hou Mansion has a person who is Fengchang according to the system, and he can be promoted to the local government as an official after his labor, and now that my father has died, I, General Mingwei, am not enough, and I don't know when I will be able to fill the position of Marquis, I know that Duke Li is a little anxious...... Up to now, the guests of the Hou Mansion have not made up for the people, except for the actual public account every month, the donation money of the hidden household, the contribution money at the end of the year, and the conversion money of forced labor, which makes Li Cheng greedy for ink. After my father's death, Li Cheng and others bullied their masters, joined hands up and down, and held the account book, which was very rude. If I want to do great things and inherit my father's ancestor Yu Lie to serve the country, I have to get rid of this slave. The ancients said, if you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world, I hope that Li Gong can help me. You and I may be able to achieve a legendary career. ”

Xu Zixian stood up, poured a glass of water for the stunned Li Yi, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry Li Gong, I don't like to drink tea soup, there is only white water here." ”

Li Yi subconsciously took the cup, took a sip, and accidentally choked on it, and her chest was full of water stains.

"It's rude." Li Yi put down the cup and said with emotion: "If there is no detailed discussion tonight, Xia Guan really doesn't know that the prince of the world actually has a good heart, and Xia Guan is far from it." ”

"Gong Li is my father's minister." Xu Zixian smiled slightly and said: "It's okay to mess around when I was young, I'm going to win the crown, I have to inherit the family business and do the things in my hands better, which is the right father." ”

Xu Zixian muttered again: "The good things and enjoyments in the world are endless, people want to get a lot, sometimes the desire and ability do not match, this is the biggest pain." ”

Li Yileng waited for a long time, nodded and said, "Yes, but most people in the world are like this." ”

"I also want more, not only to be able to conquer the knighthood, but also to revive the family business, even stronger than my ancestors." Xu Zixian looked at Li Yi and said in a deep voice: "Li Gongju is from a person's background, his knowledge and ethics are admired by His Majesty, and he is my father's best friend for many years, and he is my uncle's generation, I don't know if Li Gong can stay and help me?" If Duke Li is embarrassed, at least after I enter Beijing to appear in the Zongzheng Division, if I can't attack the lord, then Duke Li can do his own thing. ”

Xu Zixian really wanted to keep Li Yi, he knew Li Yi very well, even more than Li Yi himself. The Donghu people broke through the pass in the nineteenth year of Chongde, swept all the way, Li Yi scattered all his family wealth in the Daimyo Mansion to raise strong men to garrison the city, fought to the death and did not retreat, and the family of more than 20 people were all martyred.

"Since this is the case, then the lower officials will be left until the crown of the prince." Li Yi is not a hypocritical person, he is also very curious about the current Xu Zixian, and wants to know how far this uncrowned offspring can go...... Li Yi has seen two generations of Nan'anhou, and they are all ordinary, could it be that the ordinariness of several generations should be in the young man in front of him?

"How do you get started?" Li Yi was quite curious, and also had the intention of taking the test better than Xu Zixian.

Xu Zixian muttered: "To do things, the first thing is to win people and talents, so that you can spread." Now the Hou Mansion has insufficient expenses, and does not dare to invite people, and there are insufficient manpower to spread the ......."

Li Yi was finally moved! In fact, there are two princes in Fuzhou, five princes, and more than ten marquises, the princes of each clan family and the princes of the state are the best, the officials are big, the prestige is heavy, and a certain amount of power, so for several generations, even if it is not rich and rivals the country, it is also rich in family resources, it is easy to do things with money, and it is easy to ask for a powerful helper.

At the level of the marquis, if the people are prosperous and there are many civil and military officials, the family can generally maintain prosperity, and after the clan is removed, it can still be a local gentry family.

In the city of Fuzhou, there are at least dozens of such families, and they still maintain a considerable political status and have a certain amount of wealth, and there are many officials in the family, who are called "family with the surname of the country".

Nan'an Hou passed down three generations, the previous generation of Xu Yingbin was just two brothers, the other has passed away, no children, Xu Yingbin only has a son and a daughter, the family is thin, no respect for the elders, of course, there is no helper, can not get political power, it seems that the day is thin, the marquis of the clan is just a guarantee of status, if you want to get more, you need more helpers, this can get more resources.

"The son of the world is only seventeen years old...... Li Yi sighed repeatedly, he was really impressed this time, and his eyelids were about to fall off.

"The clan relatives of this house are thin and unreliable." Xu Zixian remained silent, and then said: "Only if there are many people invited to come here to help, and only if there are talents can we do things." Otherwise, it's just on paper. ”

"What kind of talent does the prince want now?"

"The first is to make up for the captain, which is the most important. The second is to make up for the secretary and the accountant......"

The warden, the soldiers of the marquis' mansion, protect the wings left and right, if there is a thief, go to attack it.

The accountant, looking at the unqualified officials, is actually quite useful in the current situation, and without such characters, it is easy to become unknown.

Li Yi said: "I can't think of a reliable and usable person with high martial arts skills for a while, the secretary and the accountant, but I think of one." ”
