Night.

The mansion is lit up everywhere.

Gu Chensha sat on the Taishi chair, Xiao Yizi stood beside him, and the servants everywhere stood with their hands down, some stood under the eaves, some stood by the corridor, some were holding scissors to cut the wick, and some were cleaning the courtyard, all silent, each with a ghost, secretly looking at the two people in the main house.

"Master, this is the list, there were originally five hundred people in the entire mansion. "Xiao Yizi gave the list.

"Five hundred, so many?" Gu Chensha frowned: "I have taken a look at this mansion and the surrounding fertile fields and orchards, and I can only raise two hundred people at most." ”

"Yes, my eyes are like torches. Xiao Yizi said: "The original housekeeper of this manor pretended to be public and private, and raised a lot of idlers, and all the seven aunts and eight aunts were stuffed into it, but in fact, the mansion was empty, and there was no money at all." In addition to this, there are tens of thousands of foreign debts. I have gathered the people together to give lectures, and I have dismissed four hundred, and I have left a hundred honest ones, and they will gradually be replaced by their own people. ”

"Yes, that's what you have to do, are there any people who don't accept the trouble?" Gu Chensha knows that governing a family is like governing a country, and it must not be taken lightly.

"Who dares, the king's law is strict, if it was before, they still dare to be disrespectful to the lord, but the lord has been appreciated by the emperor, and he doesn't know the current affairs, there is only one way to die, and it is a big crime to bully the master with slaves, and we can be executed directly in the mansion. There was ruthlessness in Xiao Yizi's tone: "But the old man Xia who is in charge of our manor is difficult to deal with, he was directly sent by the Internal Affairs Office." ”

"You just go and do it here, I'd rather no one do things than outsiders infiltrate. "Ancient dust and sand road.

"This is natural, lord, in a few days, we will hold a big banquet, after all, the opening of the mansion is a major event, officials, and even princes and nobles will send congratulatory gifts according to etiquette, and we must also send back gifts, not too cold, otherwise it will damage the majesty." Xiao Yizi wrenched his fingers and calculated: "In addition, the master has an establishment of fifty armor soldiers, and he must recruit and pay his own salary." This is also a lot of money, and when our Guogong Mansion operates, everything is inseparable from money. Although the emperor gave 300,000 yuan, I think it will be exhausted in a year, and the first thing at the moment is to open up sources and reduce expenditures. ”

Other princes, the mother family is strong, and even born, the mother family began to build a power for him, built a mansion early, and weaved talents, such as the eighteenth prince Gu Hongsha, who did not live in the rewarded mansion at all, but built it himself, with thousands of slaves under his hands, masters like clouds, and spending money like flowing water.

And Gu Chensha can only work hard.

"Yes, you need money everywhere, but I have a way to get it, so you don't have to worry about that. Gu Chensha thought about it, at this time, he could kill the tiger wolf, refine the tiger wolf pill and sell it through secret channels.

Tiger Wolf Dan is the ancient Qi Dan, once it is in the world, it will definitely cause countless people to favor, of course, it will also cause trouble, if Gu Chensha is an ordinary person, then there are great scruples, but he is the prince, one person is above ten thousand people, but he is not afraid of being checked, as long as the emperor does not deal with him, no one can attack him from the level of national law.

If a Tiger Wolf Pill is really sold, I am afraid it will be worth tens of thousands, or even 100,000, as long as it is sold a little bit, it can completely solve the financial crisis.

"Can you sell the kind of pill I take?" Xiao Yizi said, "But how do you explain the origin of the pill to people?"

"It's okay, let's just say that I occasionally got a jar of elixir left over from ancient times, who dares to check on me?"

"Indeed, if an ordinary big family gets such an elixir, it can only be dedicated to the imperial court, otherwise it will be a raid on the family, but the identity of the master does not matter. Xiao Yizi was relieved: "But the master has been in the limelight too much recently, I think it will be silent for a while, and the elixir will also be sold to reliable people, if it is taken in by other princes, it will be equivalent to an enemy." ”

"Yes, I already have a buyer. "Ancient dust and sand road.

"Long Yuyun?" Xiao Yizi can see through a little.

"Xiao Yizi, it seems that you are really experienced, Long Yuyun's side is a good channel, but I actually want to sell it to the Lou family, my father intends to let Lou Baiyue get close to me, so I naturally have to use the power of the Lou family. Gu Chensha smiled: "Of course, the Lou family is unfathomable, and it has to be guarded against." ”

"That's natural, the Lou family has always been hostile to the master, this time the tiger wolf pill was sold to the Lou family, they couldn't stand the temptation, so they had to swallow it, once swallowed, the strength of the Lou family will inevitably multiply, now the Lou family is already a half of the Lou Dynasty, if it expands again, the merit will be high and the lord will be shocked, and the end will be miserable!" Xiao Yizi sneered: "Then Lou Baiyue bewitched the ten princes to beat the master, this account must also be calculated, besides, if something happens to the Lou family, the master can also find a way to take over the power of the Lou family, and he can plot big things." ”

"Then it doesn't have to be so contriguing. Gu Chensha glanced at Xiao Yizi differently, and he didn't expect this kid to think so deeply, "It's just that the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and the heart of harming people is indispensable." ”

"The lord is upright, the scenery is beautiful, these dark little things and sins, let the little ones do it well. Xiao Yizi remained silent.

"Hey" Gu Chensha sighed: "You let the old man Xia, the steward of this manor, come to see me." ”

An old man stood in front of Gu Chensha.

Wearing a brocade robe, with a hat, there is also a thumb-sized jade piece inlaid on it, this jade piece is half emerald green, half is the color of flames, and there is a jade wrench on the hand, but it is a white color, faintly about the holy light, and the boots on the feet are exquisite leather, and they are also inlaid with precious stones.

"Cold and warm jade?" Gu Chensha recognized, the jade that is half green and half flame, is a rare cold and warm jade, after wearing, it can absorb the heat in the summer and release it in the winter, and it can absorb the cold in the winter and release it in the summer, the circulation of yin and yang qi not only has great benefits for the human body, but also can make the practice twice the result with half the effort.

That jade wrench finger is also vaguely a treasure, and it is worth a lot of money.

The little steward of the manor was so wealthy.

This line is worth at least 350,000 yuan.

Tianfu this dynasty sits on the four seas, very rich, the folk extravagance is gradually rising, and it is not uncommon for rich and noble people to dress up like this, but now this old man is the manager of the manor, and he must be simple according to avoiding suspicion.

"The villain Xia Huang has seen the Nineteenth Master. When the old man saw the ancient dust and sand, he bowed slightly, and he did not kneel.

"Be bold, don't kneel down yet!" Xiao Yizi shouted.

"It doesn't matter. Gu Chensha stopped Xiao Yizi's forward movements, "Xia Huang, are you the steward of my manor?"

"Yes, the villain manages the hundreds of acres of orchards around this mansion, as well as thousands of acres of fertile land, and maintains the expenses and repairs of this mansion. Xia Huang said: "This mansion originally belonged to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the emperor gave it to the Nineteenth Master, and I will naturally take care of the family property for the Nineteenth Master in the future." ”

"I see. Gu Chensha remained silent: "Then let me ask you, why is there no money in the accounts of the mansion?

"The nineteenth master is not a family, I don't know the difficulties of being a family, this mansion is so big, there are a lot of expenses for people up and down, and it has to be repaired often to prevent decay over time, and the income of a few fruit forests and a few fields cannot be raised at all, so it is impossible to make ends meet. "Xia Huang is not in a hurry.

"Xia Huang, I know that you have filled your pockets, and now I will give you a choice, spit out the swallowed belongings, get out of here, and I can spare your life. Xiao Yizi snorted coldly.

"Why did the righteous father-in-law say this?" Xia Huang was not shocked at all: "Although the villain is humble, he is not something that can be framed casually, and the nineteenth master is aware of it." ”

"Really?" Xiao Yizi sneered, and brought out a half-dead person from behind, covered in blood: "This is the account room, after my torture, everything has been recruited, and he has also taken out a lot of account books, all of which are here with me." As long as I hand it over to the Zongren Mansion, you will not only have to raid your home, but also exile your whole family to the border pass to work as coolies and build the Great Wall of Megaliths. You've figured it out. ”

The account room was splashed with water by Xiao Yizi, and he came to his senses, "Xia Ye, I can't help it, I was beaten to death"

"Now that the human and material evidence are there, Xia Huang, what do you have to say? I don't want more, I want you to hand over the money that has been embezzled over the years, a total of 200,000 yuan, and I won't embarrass you. "Xiao Yizi is presiding here, Gu Chensha is just watching.

"Nineteenth Master, don't go too far. Xia Huang's eyes sharpened: "I am Prince Fan's person, and the entire Internal Affairs Office is also managed by Prince Fan, and if I move me, I will be against Prince Fan, I think we still don't interfere with the river water, Nineteenth Master, I will continue to manage this mansion, how about you be the prince of the dust country with peace of mind?"

"Third brother's people?"

Prince Van is the third ancient Fansha.

In charge of the entire Internal Affairs Office, the veteran prince stepped into the Dao realm early, commanded the male army, fought with the barbarians at the border passes, and held real power, and the current Minister of the Internal Affairs Department, Fan Ruhai, was his cousin.

Although Gu Chensha has temporarily attracted the attention of the emperor, the foundation is still shallow, and it is far from being comparable to the four princes among the princes, which is also the reason why Xia Huang doesn't care at all.

Gu Chensha stood up, walked slowly to Xia Huang's side, and suddenly made a move, slapping like electricity.

Syllable!

Xia Huang was slapped in the face, and the whole person was knocked out, hit the temple pillar and rolled down, wailing in pain.

"What are you, taking the third brother to press me?" Gu Chensha sneered: "Your martial arts skills are good, you can actually be slapped by me without fainting, Xiao Yizi, tie him up, and then inform his family, saying that he will hand over all the embezzled money to ransom people, otherwise, I will dispose of the house slave, cut off his hands and feet and throw him out." ”

"Yes. Xiao Yizi dragged Xia Huang out, deprived him of all the gems on his body, and after tying them up, he came back to reply: "Master, if we do this, are we offending the third master, it's not easy to provoke." ”

"This is no way to do it, if you don't get rid of this thorn, the family business can't be rectified, the family can't be cured, how to do big things, leaving this summer famine, it is equivalent to more thieves, it's useless to prevent day and night, and whatever we do will reach the ears of others on the same day." Gu Chensha understood in his heart: "Pull out this nail, things will be easy to do, of course, there are not a few nails in this mansion, let's pull them out one by one, replace them with trustworthy people, and leave the matter of finding reliable people to you, these days, I will retreat and cultivate, and go further." ”

Anything is false, only strength is true.

If Gu Chensha reaches the Dao realm, then everyone will give him three points of face.
