Chapter 54: Cloud Villa
Back in his compound, Cui Haoran looked at the maid slaves standing in two rows in the front hall of the courtyard, and suddenly had the illusion of being a big landlord.
So he asked the four maids who were able to write and martial arts in the front row, "What are your names?" Report it to each other. ”
The tall, exotic woman was the first to speak: "Master, we don't have a name, and we ask the master to give us a name." ”
After hearing this, Cui Haoran was a little stunned, he seemed to feel that this was the slave society before the previous life, and slaves did not deserve a name or surname.
After being in a daze for a while, Cui Hao was rapidly spinning in his mind, thinking about the names of those otherworldly, sinking fish and geese women, could it be difficult to call them 'Xi Shi' and 'Diao Chan'......
Dispelling the thoughts in his mind, Cui Haoran was silent for a while, raised his hand and pointed at them separately, before he opened his mouth and said to the four maids he bought:
"Your name is Lichun; Your name is Lixia; Your name is Liqiu; Your name is Lidong. From now on, you will be my eldest maid, responsible for taking care of my yard and my diet and daily life. ”
"Lichun, you pick 5 maids in the back, and you will discipline them, they are called Yushui, Jingyi, Spring Equinox, Qingming, and Guyu."
"Lixia, you pick 5 maids in the back, and you will discipline them, they are called Xiaoman, Mangzhong, Xia Solstice, Xiao Xia, and Da Xia."
"Liqiu, you pick 5 maids in the back, and you discipline them, they are called the heat, white dew, autumn equinox, cold dew, and frost."
"Lidong, you pick 5 maids in the back, and you discipline them, they are called Xiaoxue, Daxue, Winter Solstice, Xiaohan, and Dahan."
Cui Haoran looked at the tall phoenix-eyed Lichun in front of him, the big-eyed Lixia, the slim jade-faced Liqiu, and the black-haired Lixue, the heart that had been silent for a long time was also a little impatient, and there was an indescribable pride and a slightly obscene inexplicable feeling.
Twenty-four girls are just opposing the twenty-four solar terms, Cui Haoran feels that he has taken a name or even a cow fork, and his eyes are shining with a beautiful and proud light.
Next, the four big girls selected the little maids they were responsible for according to their own abilities and the abilities of the maids behind, and finally completed the preliminary division of labor after a while of chattering.
Lichun and Lixia are responsible for everything in the manor outside the city; Liqiu and Lidong are responsible for everything in Cui Haoran's city compound.
Among them, Lichun is responsible for taking care of all Cui Haoran's female dependents, and he is a general manager; Lixia is responsible for all the sanitation and cleaning of the hospital; Liqiu is responsible for food and daily life; Lidong will be responsible for Cui Haoran's finances, and now Cui Haoran no longer has to worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt, and can think about the major events of dominating the world.
Next.
Cui Haoran, who got up early, finished eating the breakfast prepared by Liqiu and other maids, leaving Liqiu and Lidong to take care of the big courtyard in the city, leaving them 10 guards to be responsible for safety.
He took Lichun and Lixia into his carriage and rushed to the manor outside the city with the support of 10 guards.
Outside Liuhe City, Daqing Mountain, Cloud Mountain Villa.
Cloud Mountain Villa is located at the foot of Daqing Mountain, because Daqing Mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, so the mountain villa got its name.
Within a radius of 20 miles, the villa is a sub-territory of the villa, plus the game and mountain delicacies on the Daqing Mountain, it can be regarded as a mountain villa with good income.
Cui Haoran and his party left the city gate, and it took a whole day to come to the territory of Cloud Mountain Villa.
Along the way, seeing that the crops in his territory were growing well along the way, and the tenants were working hard, Cui Haoran's hanging heart was put down, and he was afraid that the cheap dad would give him a discount, so his start would not be perfect.
When he came to the gate of the villa, he saw the steward of the convoy from a distance and went out early to greet Cui Haoran.
"The old slave welcomes His Highness from the distant mountain." The tall and thin old housekeeper stood in front of the door and saluted Cui Haoran.
Cui Haoran heard the housekeeper say that his name was Yuanshan Copper, he was a little shocked, and asked with some doubts: "Yuanshan?" ”
"Exactly, in the past, he went out with the Hou Ye to obtain military exploits, was given a surname and name by the master, and was arranged by the master to retire in this land of green mountains and green waters after retiring. Your Highness can call me Lao Tong. After the old butler said this, his tall figure seemed to become more erect.
After hearing this, Cui Haoran was silent, he heard a lot of things from this sentence.
First of all, the most obvious point is that the old housekeeper is his own person, an old subordinate who was born and died with the Marquis of Yuanshan, and he is worthy of his trust.
The second meaning is that Yuanshan Copper is a capable talent specially assigned to him by Yuanshan Hou, and with his help in this wilderness manor, he should be much easier.
The third fear is that Cui Haoran himself will use his strength to subdue such a pacesetter.
Thinking about the meaning of several layers here, Cui Haoran nodded at Yuanshan Tong, and then took his maids and guards to settle in the manor.
When he came to the hall, Cui Haoran sent the maid to rectify the manor, and asked the guards to patrol the surrounding territories to investigate, leaving the old housekeeper to tell him in detail about the situation of the manor.
"Elder Tong, you tell me about the situation of the manor in detail."
"Yes, Your Highness." After saying this, Yuanshan Copper pondered for a while before speaking.
"Your Highness, the annual net income within a radius of 20 miles of the manor is 200 stones (about 20,000 catties) of grain, 1,000 taels of silver, and mountain goods. His Royal Highness has just taken over the manor, and the Hou Mansion has left His Highness with this year's income untouched. ”
"The crops outside the village will not be harvested until the second half of the year, and the Liukou on the mountain will occasionally come down the mountain to harvest, and the Liukou is afraid of the prestige of the Hou Ye, so our manor does not need to pay the mountain tax."
"Rogues?"
"That's right, Your Highness, the rogue, now the country of Lu can be regarded as a war and chaos, rogues, bandits, bandits...... It's already rampant all over the world. ”
……
After a while, the report of the old butler in the hall was subdued.
The general situation of the manor The old housekeeper Yuanshan Tong said seventy-seven eighty-eight, and the next few arrangements about the manor Cui Haoran was no longer interested, so he asked him to discuss it with his eldest maids Lichun and Lixia.
At this time, Cui Haoran began to wander around his manor, the manor is not big or small, there is a courtyard in front, a martial arts training ground in the back, and a watchtower next to it, and the 10 guards he brought are afraid that they are a little stretched.
However, the walls of the villa are relatively high, not only are there defensive walls mixed with stone and earth, but there are also rows of sharpened wooden fences on the defensive walls, which are more than enough to defend against ordinary rogue beasts, but they cannot withstand the strong attack of the regular army.
Standing on the highest watchtower of the manor, Cui Haoran looked at the green crops swaying in the wind in the distance.
Some of the world is too real, or it is inherently real. This is a little different from the world he experienced before, and Cui Haoran has an unreal hallucination affecting his emotions.
There are also 20 guards, 24 maids, and two housekeepers, and they can easily get these, is it the arrangement of the wheel of fate, or what is affecting their fate.
There is also the bonsai obtained by the auction house yesterday, Cui Haoran felt that all this came too easily, and with his somewhat cowering personality, he felt that something must be wrong.
