"Second master, do you think our tenants' houses are slowly being rebuilt?" After saying the matter, Zheng Lu didn't leave, and said after a long time.

"Isn't this something that has been set a long time ago?" Zhao Ta asked puzzled.

"Second master, it's a matter of decided, but this time you built a winery, expanded the workshop, and recruited so many people, the cost is very large, you can only embezzle part of the money from the construction of the house, and you have to buy materials and add tools to the workshop, which requires a lot of money!" Zheng Lu said in a low voice.

"Oh, I know, how much money do we have in the account?" Zhao asked.

"Last year, there was a surplus of more than 190,000 yuan in the house, and only the wages for building embankments and roads plus rewards, food expenses and land compensation cost nearly 80,000 yuan, which was less than half of the overspending, and it cost another 50,000 yuan to buy tools and stones, and we invested 20,000 yuan in the winery; It took more than 20,000 yuan to relocate the site to build a house to expand the workshop, and after the summer harvest and summer planting, it was necessary to prepare to pave the road and build two bridges, and the cost was also very large, estimated to be 50,000 yuan, and the existing money was not enough to cope with these items, and the expenses in the house were not counted! Zheng Lu pinched his fingers and calculated an account for the prince.

"Hmm!" Zhao Ta nodded and acquiesced, the New Year's welfare will be rewarded, the winery and the craftsman are their own decisions, without consulting them, but the cost is calculated in the account of the house, now the new wine has just been listed, the craftsman is still under construction, although it will definitely make money, but it will soon wait until the end of the year, the workshop may take longer, and the cycle of recovering the cost of land investment will be longer, and it is far from quenching the thirst.

"Zheng Lu, calculate how much money it will cost if we start working!" Zhao Ta thought for a moment and asked.

"Second master, the small one has been calculated, the cost of a room is three yuan, and one household with three rooms will cost nine yuan, according to your plan, it is to build four villages, 500 households in each village, plus 30,000 yuan to build roads, dig wells and plant trees, and the cost of the house will also cost 30,000 yuan!" Zheng Lu replied.

"Okay, see you allocating 150,000 guan from the inner mansion and handing it over to the chief steward, there is one more thing you must do well!" Zhao Ta asked Jianxi to take out a satchel and take out a map to draw a circle and said: "The five hectares of land near the river here should not be rented out, but should be set aside separately as the land for our workshop, and the simple wharf on the side of the Bianhe River will be expanded, so that it can dock a thousand stone boats, is this money enough?" ”

"The second master is enough, enough..." Zheng Lu said with a smile in a hurry, I am afraid that I will have no money to spend, but now the prince has given 150,000 yuan at once, and it will be easy to do things by myself.

"Lord Wang, we don't have any money left in our inner mansion!" Seeing Xi crying and saying with a sad face, the prince's money comes quickly, and it doesn't go slowly!

"You know a fart, money is a dead thing, let them turn to make more money, how can you be more money than me!" Zhao Ta kicked him and said.

"Hehe, second master, you see that there are too many things in the house now, I really can't take care of the craftsman's side, do you want Zheng Fu to help temporarily!" Zheng Lu asked worriedly in his heart, he still didn't know if the prince of Lu Dao was angry.

"Hmmm... Just let him go, you tell him that he must be careful and thoughtful, and then something will not be as simple as letting him feed the horse! Zhao Ta pondered for a while and said, Zheng Fu has been moving to the stable to feed the horses for more than a month since he was beaten by the board, and he secretly observed several times, Zheng Fu worked hard there, and did not give up on himself because he was removed from the post of chief steward, which made Zhao Ta admire very much.

"The little Dai Zheng Fu thanked the second master!" Zheng Lu thanked him to the end, after all, he had been friends with Zheng Fu for many years, and his feelings were still very deep, he didn't expect that the prince would not only happily agree, but also become the big shopkeeper again.

After Zheng Lu finished speaking, he happily followed Jianxi to get the money, Zhao Ta looked at the blank space on the map steadily, he wanted to build several workshops after the completion of the infrastructure this year, but now it seems that it is going to fail. Funds and talents have become the bottleneck of their rapid development, if these two problems are not solved well, I am afraid that they will be busy in vain, but now the main problem is still funds, you can find talents if you have money, if you can't even eat, and in the 'a good situation' empty talk about saving the country and saving the people, people will probably only treat you as a madman, let alone work hard for you.

Xiao Mei is also re-examining the child in front of her at this time, she has been in the house for more than a month, and everyone up and down said that although the prince is young, he dares to act, acts generously, and treats his subordinates well, anyway, there are a lot of good words, I just think that they are flattering the prince, and I don't believe it. ,

Today they talked about the affairs of the house, they did not avoid themselves, she really saw it, not to mention anything else, he spent the 100,000 yuan of money without blinking his eyes, and the money was for the tenants to build houses, not for his own enjoyment. Although Yemen is doing the business of killing people and collecting money, but it is also known as chivalrous in the rivers and lakes, of course, he has done things to rob the rich and help the poor, but at most it is a hundred and ten times, and most of the money is still kept for eating and drinking, that is, the senior brother may not have such a big courage compared to him, but he is still a child...

"I miss your senior brother again, you can meet tonight, don't rely on me to hide him!" Zhao Ta put away the map, suddenly looked at Xiao Mei beside him and looked at himself in a daze, and said with a smile.

"Who misses him, I'm just worried about his injuries." Xiao Mei glanced at him and said.

"Hee-hee, you still say no, look at your eyebrows and smile!" Zhao Ta pointed to Xiao Mei's face and said with a smile.

"Nonsense, you little devil doesn't have a word of truth in your mouth!" Xiao Mei felt that her face was hot, and she turned her face and said.

"Hehe, Sister Mei, I want to ask you, now that the people outside have been evacuated, and your senior brother's injuries are healed, why are you still here, do you really want to sell yourself to pay off your debts?" Zhao Ta shook his hand, not joking with her.

"Alas, if you want to drive us away, who would want to have two killers guarding by your side!" Xiao Mei sighed and said, her face darkened.

"You can live here as long as you want, one of your guys at the night gate has been in charge of me for half a year, what is there to be afraid of, if he doesn't kill me, he may be the big steward now." Zhao Ta picked up the fishing rod, hung up the fish food, and threw it into the water and said.

"What?! Our people from the Night Gate once assassinated you, why don't I know what he looks like? Xiao Mei asked in surprise.

"About six feet tall, very white skin, big eyes, but there is a spirit, when you smile, the corner of the left mouth is slanted downward, and you are good at using a short knife..."

"Needless to say, he is from our night gate, I said why I haven't seen him for a long time, it turns out that he has died in your hands!" Xiao Mei said with a solemn face.

"I said it before, if he doesn't kill me, I won't kill him, don't put the account on my head, shouting and killing to avenge him." Zhao Ta saw that she recognized it, and quickly gave her a tablet of vitamin C to prevent colds.

"Cut, the little ghost has a lot of eyes, he doesn't want to eat at all, his skills are not as good as others, he will kill them, everyone who does our business has this awareness, I won't trouble you for him!" Xiao Mei rubbed the top of Zhao Ta's head twice and said, there seemed to be a little more intimacy between the movements, as if her sister was punishing the little brother who said the wrong thing.

"Sister Mei, my sister, my sister's scream, if you don't want to call me the second master, it's okay, but don't call me the old 'little ghost, little ghost', this will damage my royal image and honor!" Zhao Ta casually threw Xiao Mei's messy hairband behind his head, and said seriously.

"Ha Lu Ha · Xiao Mei was very unladylike, and she smiled, laughing, and suddenly there were two lines of tears on her face.

"Sister Mei, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Ta asked in surprise, he didn't seem to say anything wrong, why did he make her cry, but don't be nervous, he asked his ass and moved it to the side, but every cell in his body entered the first level of combat readiness.

"Look at you, I'm just reminded of the past!" Xiao Mei was amused by Zhao Ta's nervous appearance, reached out to wrap her hand around his shoulder, let him lean on him and said: "You don't know the way, we are all orphans, we have suffered a lot since childhood, I was adopted by Yemen when I was five years old, and every day in addition to eating and sleeping is to learn martial arts and practice various killing skills." When I was eight years old, my master took me to dig up a corpse in a new grave, and then asked me to get him back alone, I was afraid to die, but I still dragged the body back, and the next day I found that several of my brothers and sisters were missing, and it was not until I grew up that I realized that they had not completed their mission that night and were secretly executed..."

"Ahh Your rules for the night gate are really big! Zhao Ta felt that Xiao Mei had no malicious intent, so she moved her body to make herself more comfortable.

"This is actually just the beginning, from that day on, the master put the corpse in various poses, disguised as all kinds of characters, I have to stab that corpse every day, and it must be stabbed on the vital point, enough to kill people, until the corpse rots and stinks, and there is no place to go under the knife, I have never laughed happily since then!" Xiao Mei looked down at Zhao Ta, who was listening to what she was saying, and said with a wry smile.

"When I was ten years old, I killed the first person, but I didn't feel the slightest fear, and then I began to accept frequent tasks, and killed people according to instructions, and no one told us whether they were good or bad, and I never asked, until a few years later, I suddenly found that the only fifty people we started with were me and my brother, and they were all dead. The brutal training has long turned us into emotionless people, but I still feel sad, maybe the rabbit died and the fox hurt something! ”

"No, it means that you still have feelings, you are different from them!" Zhao said.

"Maybe, after a few years, the senior brother has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, after the death of the old master, the position of the master of the door was passed to him, and I also became the right protector of the door, responsible for training new killers, I tried to do it according to the method of the master back then, but I couldn't do it, just at this time, the door took over the business of assassinating Zhang Kangguo, the stakes are very high, I went out with my senior brother to do this task in person, but I didn't expect to be conspired against!"

"We can say that we can say that it is a bitter gourd on a vine, although I am a prince, I am not much better than yours, one wrong step is a catastrophe!" Zhao Ta reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said.
