Chapter 611 Winter is coming
The day is getting colder, the maple leaves are red, and the forest is dyed.
The wild fruit is abundant, bending the branches, and it is harvest season.
Zhemei City is unprecedentedly busy, and in the autumn harvest season, it is time for the lord to collect rent.
Li Yu has set aside many preferential areas, but the hundreds of industries that are not in this area still have to pay taxes according to the regulations.
The peasants were busy with the autumn harvest, the herdsmen were busy with the autumn grass, and all kinds of affairs were exposed.
Chen Bin was very busy, and after this period of observation, Li Yu also selected a few shrewd and capable characters from Wang Xiaolei, Wang Dong and other families in a timely manner to enrich his shogunate. These people first judged the situation and took the initiative to contribute, and became Li Yu's retainers.
Again, their heads of the family are dead, they are not the successor heads of the family, once they take refuge in Li Yu, they are extremely dependent on Li Yu, and Li Yu does not have to worry about them becoming rebellious. And when it comes to business management, it is really not something that can be borne by casually promoting an obedient small citizen, who has not been trained and has no ability at all.
Li Huan and the others were also pretending to be inspecting, since they said that they were coming to Ji County to establish a trade point, of course they couldn't stay on the mountain all day, so they had to walk around from time to time. Li Huan and Dugu Xiaoyue's moods gradually became delicate.
Li Huan had the feeling that he was also involved in it, accompanying Li Yu to build his own foundation. In the investigation of Li Yu, he gradually became convinced and believed that Li Yu must stand out, so in the future, he will also be under Li Yu, as usual, and accompany him to create a bigger career, right?
And Dugu Xiaoyue has a mentality of inspecting her beloved. Li Yu didn't notice that this somewhat restrained and shy little girl had been quietly observing him, and gradually fell in love with him because of his talent and character.
"Jixian is well managed, but it's still a lot rougher, if I take care of it......"
Occasionally, such a ridiculous idea came to mind, which made Xiao Yue'er panic, and this fall came so quietly. So much so that one of the thoughts that often came to the mind of the little girl had nothing to do with her investigation: "He...... Will he like me? ”
"The lord has only been in Ji County for half a year, and now the weather, compared with the past, has changed dramatically! Ha ha! ”
Li Huan first complimented, and then said: "However, my Li family wants to set up an economic and trade here, mainly because of the trade with Tibet. ”
Li Huan stared at Li Yu with a smile: "We have been to Binhai Town, and that Luo Feng is very skillful, and the goods he got from Tubo are twice as many as before. However, one of the reasons is that Yongdan was imprisoned by the lord of Tubo, and his ministry was in turmoil, and the smuggling of goods was inevitably frequent. And these goods, even if they are all given to our Li family, they will not be enough to eat. ”
Li Huan said a difficult question, looked at Li Yu with a slight smile, and looked forward to him giving him a pleasing answer.
Dugu Xiaoyue'er also stared at Li Yu for a moment, wanting to see what he said. Because she was worried that Li Yu would not have a way to deal with it, she was unconsciously nervous, her pink fists were clenched, and her palms were dripping with fine sweat.
Li Yu smiled slightly and said, "That's why I ask Mr. not to rush to conclusions, and why you might as well stay on my Zhemei Mountain for a little longer." Now that the chill is getting stronger, and the first snow is coming, Sir will soon be able to see that I will open up a smooth trade route to ensure the business needs of Li Valve and everyone else. ”
Li Huan raised his eyebrows: "This matter must have fallen on that little whole thing Yongdan, right?" ”
Li Yu bowed his head: "Mr. is wise, it is true." ”
Li Huan stroked his palms and laughed: "If that's the case, then Li will wait and see." ”
Li Bohao dug his nostrils and said lazily: "Are you finished?" Walked away. Second, let's compete today to see who can climb up. Take a walk. ”
Li Zhongxuan rubbed his hands and said: "Compare and compare, whoever loses will go to Wangcai and call uncle, go!" ”
Li Huan shook his head and smiled bitterly, these two things that are not doing their jobs, if Li Valve hands them over to them in the future, the future is in danger! However, any of the owners of Li Valve, there is really no one who is a gentleman who follows the rules and is square and dull, not to mention that such a person is between the valves, that is, in the family, if he wants to stand on a high place, he will be gnawed by people sooner or later. There was once a valve owner, who was eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, full of five poisons, and after becoming a valve owner in his forties, he was an unprecedented master, perhaps this is also the current valve owner conniving at his two sons...... it!
Li Huan suddenly reacted, what are these two goods going to do!
Yesterday, when they passed by the small peak that abruptly rose on this Zhemei Peak, Li Bohao and Li Zhongxuan said that they wanted to climb up.
Zhemei Peak is a very large peak, above the peak, in fact, there is a small peak, because it is too steep and narrow, in fact, this peak can not be seen at the bottom of the mountain. And because of its steepness and dense trees, no one has climbed this peak since ancient times.
This waterfall flows down from this peak, and as expected, there should be a huge spring on it. These two rammers are going to climb this peak? What if something is going to happen?
"Stop! Wait for me! Rude faux pas! ”
Li Huan chased a few steps, hurriedly turned around and hugged his fist to Li Yu to apologize, and rushed out.
Dugu Xiaoyue stood behind Li Huan's seat, and kept watching Li Yu come intently, Li Huan ran away in a hurry, and the little girl suddenly panicked. When facing Li Yu alone, she was a little at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Li Yu noticed her cramped expression and was a little amused. In his heart, this delicate and pretty little girl has always been Li Huan's forbidden personal pet, and it is rare that she has always been clear-eyed, delicate and lovable, and not the slightest cheesy.
Li Yu said kindly: "Miss Xiaoyue doesn't have to be nervous, Li doesn't eat people, haha." ”
Dugu Xiaoyue pursed her lips, her face was slightly hot, and said, "Slave...... The slave is not afraid, but the slave does not know...... I don't know what to tell the lord...... What ......"
Li Yu is funny, could it be that this little girl still has social phobia like my stepfather?
Li Yu became more and more azy: "Miss Xiaoyue, you are a guest, you don't have to be too restrained, sit down and talk." ”
Dugu Xiaoyue hesitated, pursed her lips, walked around to the front as she said, and sat down cautiously. With his hands on his knees, he looked at Li Yu with blank eyes.
Li Yu secretly squirmed, this girl ...... Is this going to be a lecture? I really don't know how to speak.
Poor, the only daughter of the dignified lonely lord, the family of the three queens once came out of the family, because of her father's sternness and dislike, the little princess was raised sensitive, inferior and timid, but that well-behaved, it really looked like a little sister next door, and Li Yu became more and more kind.
"Miss Xiaoyue, where are you from?"
"The slave is seventeen years old this year, a Xianbei family, living in the clouds, and still has parents at home. Others are just of the same kind. ”
"Uh......" Li Yu just asked about his origin, but people said it all in one breath, Li Yu didn't know what to say for a while, but he couldn't just be so cold, Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The girl is only seventeen years old, and she traveled with Mr. Li Huan, which is really hard." ”
Dugu Xiaoyue shook her head and said faintly: "I like to come out, my heart is very relaxed." ”
"Oh?"
"My father is strict, my mother is cowardly......"
Dugu Xiaoyue sniffed, raised her head and smiled at Li Yu: "The time on this Folding Plum Peak is Xiaoyue's happiest day." ”
When Li Yu saw her appearance, he vaguely seemed to see the appearance of Jixiang being excluded at home, and he felt pity in his heart, so he said softly: "If you want to open some, if your heart is small, you can see big things." If the heart is big, the big things can also be seen small, and don't drill the horns of the bull in everything. ”
"Hmm!"
Xiao Yue'er was well-behaved like a primary school student, with her hands on her knees, her little head dotted again and again.
Li Yu sighed secretly, looking at this, this girl can't help but be unfavored in front of her parents, Li Huan is afraid that she doesn't take her very seriously, it's probably just a plaything by the pillow, which makes her so cautious.
Li Yu was about to chat a few more words, so he asked someone to send her back to her residence first, and heard a report from someone outside the hall: "Sir, Wangdui, the housekeeper of the Yongdan family in Tubo Xiaoding, asks to see her." ”
Xiao Yue'er said "ah", jumped up suddenly, and said in a panic: "Slave avoidance." ”
As soon as she said this, Li Yu didn't want to drive her away, and was about to tell her to just sit down, and she had nothing to avoid, when someone had already broken in at the door.
"Stop, I didn't get permission from the lord......"
"You dodge, I can't wait...... Ah, sir! O sir! ”
When Wangdui saw Li Yu, he knelt on the ground. The newly paved floor tiles in Li Yu's hall are smooth and smooth. Wangdui pushed away the guards, and as soon as he knelt down in the forward rush, the whole person slipped over, slid all the way to Li Yu's knees, and hugged his thighs.
"Lord Kai'en, if you have any conditions, just mention it, let my master go back, if the master doesn't go back, the Yongdan family will fall apart and cease to exist!"
Li Yu was surprised and said: "Manager Wangdui, why do you bother, hurry up and speak." ”
Wangdui sobbed: "Sir, our second lady has fallen out with the eldest lady, and the people of our tribe want to divide the land for self-government." Our master's younger brother Ye Sang hooked up with Dong Tuo, the big minister of the whole thing, and wanted to take the position of the small whole thing at the cost of attaching himself to Dong Tuo. The third young master Basang copied a lot of the family's treasures and ran to the capital to operate, wanting to inherit the position of the small whole thing, and the eldest young master Norbu took the samurai to chase and kill the capital......"
Dugu Xiaoyue was dizzy when he heard it, it was so messy, could he understand?
The little girl's wonderful eyes subconsciously focused on Li Yu again, and she saw Li Yu touching her chin: "Hmm...... I can't remember much for a while, but that's what you mean...... It's messy? ”
Dugu Xiaoyue snorted, and couldn't help laughing, but immediately realized that it was rude, and couldn't help but blush with shame.
Wangdui heard the laughter, turned his head to look at her, and said with a sad face: "Madam, don't laugh, our Yongdan family is really messy, now, it's almost over!" ”
Dugu Xiaoyue's little face fluttered, like a little hen that laid eggs for the first time, she was suffocated, and she glanced at Li Yu in a panic, embarrassed and embarrassed.
Li Yu coughed and said, "Don't scream!" Are you saying that the people of the Yongdan family have their own thoughts, and now they have fallen apart? ”
Wangdui cried: "Yes! Madame can't hold it anymore, if the lord doesn't go back, the Yongdan family will cease to exist, the lord is gracious, what else do you want, just mention it, just let our lord go back immediately, otherwise...... Otherwise......"
Li Yu smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "What are you anxious about, isn't this still me?" ”
Wangdui raised his face and looked at him with tears in his eyes, with a blank expression: "Have you?" What's the matter with you? ”
Dugu Xiaoyue looked at Li Yu's smiling face, but no matter how she looked at it, she had a feeling that she was smiling. It's obviously bad, why isn't it annoying at all? I like to watch it.
