When he came back from the craftsman king, as soon as Li Yao sat down, Wang Changzhu came to Li Yao and said, "Master Hou, I'll report to you the income and expenditure of our Hou Mansion this month!" ”

Li Yao said: "Changzhu, we grew up together, we are like brothers, don't call me Hou Ye, it sounds too awkward, just call me big brother like dogs in the future!" ”

Wang Changzhu said in fear: "Master Hou, although Changzhu grew up with you since he was a child, he still understands humility, Changzhu doesn't dare to call Master Hou as a big brother like those young masters!" ”

Wang Changzhu is good everywhere, but the distinction between respect and inferiority is too clear, Li Yao saw that he couldn't persuade him, so he didn't continue to persuade him, and said, "Didn't you just say how much money is left?" How much money do we have in our family now? ”

Wang Changzhu said: "We still have 1.2 million taels of silver left in our mansion, and the main expenditure is on those refugees......"

One and a half million left? Li Yao was shocked, how could he spend it so quickly, he spent a million taels of silver in just two months.

Wang Changzhu said: "Young Master Tao Qiang (thin monkey), Young Master Guanghao (fat man) went out and brought a lot of silver, the army recruited by Young Master Zhou Bin (blind) needs to spend money, the secret agent recruited by Young Master Wanxun (dog head) also needs to spend silver, the more than 900,000 peasants you brought back two months ago also need silver, the first battalion of city guards of General Li Feng also needs to spend silver, the saltpeter and sulfur purchased also need to spend silver, and the mechanic bureau of the king of craftsmen also needs to spend silver. ”

Listening to Wang Changzhu, Li Yao's sense of crisis came, it seems that he is about to become poor, he spent a million in two months, it seems that it won't be long before he will become a poor egg, thanks to these refugees are free, otherwise he would have spent all his money!

It seems that he has to make some money, otherwise, the expenses will not be enough, since Hou Yejiu has been recognized by so many people, he can start from this point.

Changzhu, you have to pay attention to the acquisition of the winery, it is best to buy it in the next few days, we have to make a lot of money from this.

In addition, the fat man's grain buying work was also temporarily arranged for him, so that he could arrange the grain buying for someone he trusted, so that the fat man could rush back and start selling alcohol.

Wang Changzhu said with a smile: "Master Hou, I will arrange this acquisition of the wine shop immediately, I have to say that Master Hou wine is the strongest wine I have ever drunk, and it is also the most mellow wine!" If it can be mass-produced, it can indeed be sold at a good price! ”

Li Yao nodded, then you can arrange it as soon as possible, I will go to the king of craftsmen tomorrow, this still will be made quickly, otherwise it is impossible to make wine in large quantities.

Li Yao's Hou Ye's Mansion is quite far away from the Mechanic Bureau, even if it takes an hour to ride a horse, Li Yao looked at the sky and it was not too early, so he returned to the study, picked up a brush and drew a simple picture of the still, so that the craftsman would make it easier.

As for the people who make wine, they can only be selected from the peasants, because it is free, and they have a lot of their own grain, more than two million quintals of grain, and it is still possible to divide some wine.

Those refugees, Li Yao renamed them, and the household registration was also popularized there, even if they were farmers in Qi Country with household registration, although the name changed, those rights still did not change, and they were still free to use, but it was certain that they had to take care of their own food!

The peasants had already begun to plough the fields with oxen and retired military horses, and with the water source, everything was alive, the saplings had begun to be planted, and the grass had grown on the side of the canal in such a short time, and the birds could be faintly heard.

It's summer now, the weather is starting to get stuffy, there is this thing saltpeter, of course Li Yao won't waste it, use saltpeter to make ice, with sour plum, add sugar, in the grinding, make sour plum shaved ice, Li Yao took a bite, the taste is really refreshing, don't don't want it.

Li Yao used the afternoon to make a large pot of sour plum shaved ice, and called Gu Yina, Lian'er, Tao'er, Goutou, Blind and others. Li Yao let everyone taste his new invention, and after everyone took a bite, they were all overjoyed, saying that they had never eaten such a delicious thing, which made Li Yao very satisfied.

The first time she ate something with ice in the summer, Guina was very happy and asked, "Where did this ice come from?" Was it saved in winter? The wisdom of the Han people is really amazing! ”

Li Yao smiled under Gu Yina's envious expression: "You will know how this ice came from in the future!" Don't worry about it so much now, just eat. ”

Gu Yina is still childlike, and she has no scruples about her image when she eats it, which opened Li Yao's eyes, but even if she eats shaved ice, Gu Yina is still full of temptation.

It's just that this girl is still underage, and she can't touch it, so I can only hope that she will become an adult soon.

After admiring the eating of several girls, Li Yao went to the study and read the military books.

When it was time to go back to sleep in the wing room at night, Li Yao was taken aback, Lian'er and Gu Yina slept on the same bed. So where do you sleep?

In fact, it is very taboo to have sex with the male owner before the male owner marries his wife, because the eldest son must basically be born to the wife, and if the maid in the same room gives birth to the child first, it will be passed to the head of the main house and raised by the wife of the main house.

Although Lian'er is a maid in the room, she is the maid in the room of Li Yao's wife, so her status is very high, so high that even Gu Yina can't teach her a lesson.

Since she is a maid in the room, if she is not promoted to a concubine, she should spend the night in the master's room.

Li Yao instantly figured out why the two of them slept in the same bed, and Li Yao could even guess their outfits under the quilt.

That's not going to work! These two girls are underage, so they can't be touched, but looking at their longing eyes, Li Yao still held back, sat on the chair in a regular manner, pulled out the chronicle of the Qi Kingdom from the bookshelf next to him, and began to read it!

Li Yao said while watching: "Don't get up, if I'm sleepy, I'll go to bed, you just lie on the bed now, and sleep when you're sleepy." ”

Li Yao's tone was very serious, so the two girls lay on the bed and didn't get up.

Li Yao looked at the oil lamp, which was full of lamp oil, and thought to himself, "These oils should be enough for one night!" ”

Li Yao didn't read the book this night, but he didn't waste it this night, at least he confirmed that the oil lamp filled with oil could be used to burn the oil lamp for a night, and Li Yao spent a tangled night in the infinite resentful eyes of the two girls.

Seeing that the sky was bright, Li Yao wanted to go out to exercise and breathe in the fresh air, and the two girls didn't sleep all night. I'm going to pull Li Yao back to wash and change clothes.

As a result, Li Yao just went out, took a breath of fresh air, and before he could sigh how fresh the air was in ancient times, he was pulled back to the wing.

"Husband, are you sleepy now?" Guina asked.

Li Yao said with a smile: "I eat a lot of supplements these days, so I am very energetic, and I don't sleep at all without sleeping." ”

Gu Yina said disappointedly: "Okay, Lian'er, serve the Hou Ye to change clothes, I'll rest for a while." ”

Gu Yina obviously has the spirit of a hostess, and she began to arrange people to work on the first day she entered the door, but Lian'er was also happy to change Li Yao's clothes, because Lian'er always felt that Li Yao had a special temperament.

If Li Yao knew that Lian'er thought so at this time, it is estimated that he would not let Lian'er change her clothes!
