It took half an hour for the convoy to arrive at Da Li Zhuang, and the eunuch Guan Zhuang was waiting at the entrance of the village to greet him. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, the people in the car got out of the car, and Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houwei brothers led the little girl to the front.

Because of the greeting in advance, the identity of Zhu Houzhao and others was not revealed when they entered the village this time, so the tenants were not notified, only Cao Luo brought the villager, accompanied by the current to greet him. At a cursory glance, about 30 people, all kneeling on the ground, the leading Cao Luo kowtowed and said, "The slave and the eunuch Cao Luo knocked to see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness, Second Highness, and the Princess." Zhu Houwei only looked at him carefully at this time. Looking at the age of about 40 years, the appearance is very ordinary, it seems that he is still a little loyal and honest, it doesn't look like he will make money, but people can't look good, so let's investigate it.

Zhu Houzhao said at this time, "Get up, go to your place first." Everyone slowly stood up. Cao slightly bent down to lead the way in front, and the large army slowly walked towards the village. The children and old people around don't know who is coming, but the person who wants to let the father-in-law of Guan Zhuang come to greet him in person is still so old, it is estimated that it is the master of Zhuangzi, the prince and his younger brothers and sisters. But no one came up to salute, after all, it was royal, and everyone was still very afraid in their hearts, so they stood far away with curiosity, watching silently, the atmosphere was a little weird, even the children in the village who loved to fight were silent, and there were only not very neat footsteps on the street. When these people passed, the villagers returned to their old state.

Da Li Zhuang is much larger than Xiao Li Zhuang, and it feels like it has the feeling of a small town, and there are some brick houses in the village, and in the center of the village is a mansion enclosed by a wall, which is Cao Luo's residence. There is also a wall at the gate when you first enter, which seems to have been built according to the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital. When they arrived at the main hall, the three brothers and sisters sat down, and immediately a maid brought tea and snacks. Zhu Houwei looked at the carvings on the pillars of the hall and the luxurious decoration in the hall, and couldn't help but sigh, "Gonggong Cao is doing well, my eldest brother's East Palace is not as comfortable as yours." Cao Luo, who was standing on the side, immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, the things in this house look luxurious, in fact, the slave maid found a tenant with good craftsmanship in the village, and the wood was also cut from the surrounding forests, but it didn't cost much." After listening to this, Zhu Houzhao asked, "How much output was there in Zhuangzi last year?" ”

Cao Luo sighed in his heart after hearing this, and now he knew what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was doing in this imperial village. However, he still said, "Last year, I got a total of 5,800 taels of silver and 18,000 stones of various grains." After speaking, he looked up at Zhu Houzhao who was sitting, but Zhu Houzhao ignored him at a glance, and Zhu Houwei had been studying the decoration in the hall and didn't look at him at all.

Zhu Houzhao's face was a little angry, in the end, he was a young man, and he couldn't be happy and angry, far worse than the demon Zhu Houwei. Zhu Houwei looked at Zhu Houwei, who was youzai, and Zhu Houwei smiled and said to Cao Luo, "Father-in-law Cao, go and bring all the account books, big brother wants to take a look." ”

Cao Luo thought to himself, "From the 5th year of Hongzhi to the current 16th year, there are so many account books, when do you want to see when either the eunuchs like me or the five big and three thick guards come, and there are 5 children, it is estimated that it is not 15, the account books are given to you, is there a problem with it?" The mental activity was very rich, but the expression on his face remained the same, and he replied, "Yes, the slave and maid will go now." ”

At this time, Steward Liu said to a few guards who brought, "You guys go along, there are so many account books, and Gonggong Cao can't take them." The tone was calm, calm and unmixed with any emotion. The guards nodded in response, and four people followed Cao Luo.

After a while, the ledger was carried out by the guards in boxes and placed in the hall. Zhu Houwei looked at it, there were a total of 11 boxes, each box was the same size, about 80 centimeters long, half a meter wide, and about half a meter high, and some of the boxes already had a large layer of ash on them. At this time, Cao Luo Shili said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the account books of the crown prince Zhuangtian from the fifth year of Hongzhi to the sixteenth year of Hongzhi this year are here, and I invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to check it." The tone was very respectful, but there was a hint of a playful smile on the face that no one saw.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then the five men and three women from the Zhu Mansion took out charcoal pens and blank notebooks and began to check the accounts. Cao was slightly surprised, he never thought that Zhu Houzhao was asking these children who seemed to be his playmates to check the accounts, but when he turned his head and thought about "how can such a big child do the work of the accounting room", he couldn't help but feel relaxed.

It will take a while for so many account books, so the three brothers and sisters, escorted by Steward Liu and 2 guards, went to the farmland next to the village to have a look. Knowing that they were going to the village today, the three of them wore relatively close-fitting clothes.

After a while, the three of them arrived at the edge of the farmland, and when they arrived here, Zhu Houwei's mood suddenly relaxed a lot, the current farmland is actually nothing to see, it is only the beginning of February, the seeds have not been planted, and it is still in the stage of plowing. Most of the fields are pulled by men pulling plows and slowly moving through the fields, after all, not every household has cattle to use. The three brothers and sisters were visiting the field for the first time without a task, and the three were in a good mood. After walking less than half a mile to the north, I saw a small river, but it was only about 5 meters wide, and the deepest part was only 1 meter.

People are very fond of water, especially children. When the little girl saw the fish in the water, she immediately ran to the river, if it wasn't for Zhu Houwei to stop her, the little girl would have gone to the river to catch fish. However, as soon as the little girl ran to the river, the fish in the water heard the footsteps and swam away, which made the little girl discouraged. Zhu Houzhao was energetic, saying that he wanted to go down to the river to help his sister catch fish, Zhu Houwei knew that he was only helping his sister by the way, and the most important thing was that he wanted to go. But it's only February, and it's still very cold, and if you go into the water, you may freeze out. But seeing the eldest brother and younger sister scratching their ears and cheeks anxiously on the shore, Zhu Houwei smiled and gave an order to the guards next to him. After a while, the guard came over with a branch about 3 centimeters thick and about 1.5 meters long, and sharpened it with a saber at the end of the branch.

The brother and sister were a little puzzled by the short spear Zhu Houwei was holding in his hand, but they knew that he would not be untargeted, so they watched quietly from the sidelines. I saw Zhu Houwei holding a short spear and walking lightly to the shore, and stood still at a bunch of aquatic plants. The short spear in his hand was slightly high, and then stood still, and Zhu Houzhao and the little girl looked at him a little nervously. Suddenly, the short spear in Zhu Houwei's hand quickly pierced half a meter into the shore, and then saw that the water there suddenly became turbid, as if something was twisting, turning the mud under the water up, and after a while, the thing stopped twisting, Zhu Houwei also slowly pulled out the short spear, and then the brother and sister saw a crucian carp less than 20 cm stuck in one end of the short spear. The two ran towards Zhu Houwei excitedly, and then carefully studied the immobile fish. Zhu Houwei handed the short spear to Zhu Houzhao, and then kept twisting his wrist. The current body is not very good, and this time the sudden maximum practical force caused discomfort in the wrist, but there was no sprain.

Then he watched Zhu Houzhao plug in the fish there. It is a very ordinary entertainment for rural children, but it brings great joy to the children of the royal family. However, Zhu Houzhao changed several places along the riverbank, and the short spear struck no less than 50 times, but he did not stab a fish, which made him a little anxious.

Zhu Houwei also explained the refraction of light to his brother briefly, although his sister didn't understand much next to him, he still looked at the second brother with admiration, and nodded while listening to the second brother, Zhu Houwei saw his sister's cute appearance, and felt that he was very great, Zhu Houzhao didn't mind, he knew that compared with this second brother, most of them were inferior to him, but he also had his own point, that is, he was more open-minded and more generous. Don't look at Zhu Houwei smiling all day long, but he is very dark-bellied, once two students in Zhu's house were talking in private, saying that the current nature class is actually useless, because I know that some disasters will happen but they will still happen, and there is no way to prevent them, such as earthquakes, typhoons or something, which happened to be heard by Zhu Houwei who returned from going to the toilet, and then found a small mistake between the two of them and closed the small black house for a day. As for generosity, Zhu Houzhao has no place to use money so far, he doesn't value money in the first place, Zhu Houwei is different, he often uses money accurately to the text, the intermediate links must be transparent, and the ins and outs of each article must be well-founded. Whether it is good or bad, that is the opinion of the benevolent, and the wisdom of the wise.

After that, Zhu Houzhao continued to stab fish, and Zhu Houwei had no end, he wanted to maintain the tall image of every thorn in the eyes of his sister. There was still some luck last time, after all, he was not a rural baby in his last life, and he couldn't maintain 100% hit for this high-tech entertainment at all.

However, Zhu Houzhao is very athletic, he can play any sport well, after some guidance, the short spear stabbed a fish on the 5th time of the second attack, and then it was out of control. An hour later, he stabbed a total of 20 fish, and was finally dragged back to the village by Zhu Houwei, otherwise he would continue to play.

When they arrived at Guan Zhuang's mansion, they entered the hall and saw that 5 people were still calculating, so Zhu Houzhao asked them, "How is the investigation?" The eldest was a girl, and at this time she stood up and replied, "Back to the eldest young master, from the 5th year of Hongzhi, now it is found that in the 11th year of Hongzhi, there are a total of 128 taels and 550 texts in the 5th year of Hongzhi, 628 taels and 650 texts in six years, 1320 taels and 430 texts in 7 years, 3500 taels in 8 years, 8000 taels in 9 years, and 18000 taels in 10 years. ”

Cao Xiao, who was still calm just now, seemed to have seen a ghost. He didn't expect that these 5 dolls would be checked so much in 2 hours, so accurate, all the "missing" silver, he recorded it in a book, and he also remembered the amount of each year. Zhu Houzhao's eyes were full of anger, and he said in a deep voice to Cao Luo, "What else do you have to say?" Cao Luo was stunned for a moment, and his brain couldn't turn around. Zhu Houzhao said to the guards at this time, "Tie him up, send him to the palace, let his father dispose of it, save some face for him, put it in the carriage, and don't let people see it." "Yes," the guards replied, and then stepped forward to tie Cao Luo up.

At this time, Cao Luo came back to his senses, he knew that if this matter was found out, he would definitely die, after all, he had been an errand boy in the palace for so many years, and the rules were clear. I saw that he trembled uncontrollably, and his face was a little pale, but he still asked Zhu Houzhao, "Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, how can these dolls be able to count so many accounts in such a short period of time, and they can be so accurate, and I hope to inform them, and let the slaves and maids understand." Although Zhu Houzhao was very angry, he still nodded at the leading girl among the five and asked him to answer, after all, he didn't know much about this thing. I only heard the girl say in a trembling voice, "Father-in-law, this is the double-entry accounting method taught by the second young master, and the numbers used to record are Indian numbers. "Although I only know the true identity of the two young masters today, I have developed the habit of shouting "eldest young master, second young master" in a year, and the eldest young master and second young master did not let them change their words, saying that they just called the young master, and looked kind, just don't tell other people in the house, they will know when they should know.

Cao Luo was a little stupid and muttered, "Double-entry accounting, Indian numerals, second young master" was taken away after a while, stuffed into a carriage, and went to the capital first. Since then, no one has ever seen Gonggong Cao again, of course, this is a later story.

At this time, Zhu Houwei took his sister's little hand and slowly approached the lobby, and looked at Zhu Houzhao with an inquiring look, Zhu Houzhao just nodded, and the two tacitly agreed, after all, it is better not to let the little girl enter the adult world too early.

After that, Zhu Houzhao instructed to leave 4 guards to take care of the Zhuang guests in the Zhuangzi, the companions, and the property in the house, so he took the spoils of war today's stabbing fish, and got into the carriage, when he came, there were 3 carriages, and now Liu Jin took his companions back to the capital to explain the situation, and the remaining 2 cars, one with 3 brothers and sisters, and the other with 5 people from Zhu's mansion and the unfinished accounts, just slowly drove towards the capital.
