Chapter 208 Clan Affairs
"Who do you fan?"
Gu Lei was curious and poured tea for Wang.
"I want to see that no one has to be favored by your sixth brother, this couple still has to like each other in the future to be more tolerant and harmonious."
"My uncle meant to wait a little longer, what's the reason?"
Wang thought for a moment before saying, "I'll talk to you, you can't talk outside." ”
"Of course, you can't trust me."
Gu Lei blinked, leaning in front of the Wang family like a child who loves to listen to gossip.
"The Night Princess took a fancy to your sixth brother, and originally said that she would be a matchmaker for your eldest brother, but later our family contacted the Xie family first, and the Night King also agreed, so don't you look down on Brother Xi. The night princess's maiden niece is also of the right age, and she didn't say she was dead. ”
Wang weighed back and forth in his heart.
"Oh, the Night Princess's family is also a military general, but there were heavy casualties in that battle, and her brother is gone, so it seems that there are only widows and young daughters left, all of whom are taken care of by the Night Princess, saying that her niece has been raised by her."
"Yes, you've seen it?"
"I've taken a look at it from afar, and I'm not paying too much attention to it, I'll go back and show you."
Gu Lei remembered something and said to Li Yu: "Did you see anyone at the banquet last time?" ”
"No, maybe I didn't notice, I'll go back and ask."
"Forget it, the children taught by the Night Princess can't be wrong. Don't interfere, you can't ruin the girl's reputation, I'll ask myself, you don't care. ”
"Okay."
The New Year will be celebrated in a few days, and Li Yu will lead the girls in the clan to preside over the middle feed and host the New Year's banquet, so that the younger sisters can learn to raise their eyebrows and lower their eyes.
The clan also has to hold a clan banquet, all of which are organized by the girls in the clan together, and they are becoming more and more presentable.
Boss Li also returned on time to attend the clan banquet, one was to talk to the clan about the plan for the next year, and the other was to restrain his children and grandchildren, give encouragement and teaching, and there were a lot of odd things as the patriarch.
In the past, the second child helped deal with it, cleared all difficulties in the rear, and solved problems for him.
Now that the second child is gone, he can only do these things by himself, after all, the children are young, and they can't take charge alone, they can only help, and he has to make his own decisions.
The old man lost a son, and his health was not very good, so he has been taking care of it for the past two years, and he didn't dare to let him worry about it.
Boss Li first said a few words about the school, and then talked about clan affairs.
"There are still a lot of slack places in clan affairs, I can't take care of the family outside, other brothers have to help each other, this time is different from the past, no matter how slack there is no money and no connections, what is delaying is the future of children and grandchildren, don't make the wrong idea."
"Also, Yu'er said that she would do a few more workshops and fill in the entry for her family, and the important thing is to help the Night King support the refugees, and it will not be possible if you don't get in and out."
"Last year, I spent more than 10,000 taels of silver just to deliver the porridge to the water truck, and the family didn't have that much income. With such a large population, there is no input if you don't fill in the industry, and it cost a lot of money to buy medicinal herbs and soak in medicinal baths last year. ”
This sum of money is actually in Boss Li's heart.
"That's the case, you have to do your best to do some clan affairs, the future of the master has been earned back for you, this is all the old lady's dowry money, Yu'er spent all the money, and there is no complaint for the future of the brothers, you go out to restrain a little, and worry about the family affairs."
The grandfather also put down his chopsticks and beat his children and grandchildren.
"Third uncle, don't worry, we all remember it in our hearts, this account book is in our hearts, and we can't forget it. This year is not good, the wasteland has not returned to its original cost until now, and I have to put money into it, and I have to buy some good land. ”
"Yes, uncle, it's not that we don't worry, the carpentry room is not manpowered, and there are a lot of lists, and they are happy to work, but there are not enough people."
"The big order of the library pavilion has just started to work now, and this person can't pull it by hand, and he also said that he can't do it at all when he opens a furniture shop."
"We know that the child is really thinking about the family, let us make more money, but this man is not enough, and those who can work have joined the army."
Li Jiaerlang is a generalist, not only can fight but also have skills to support himself, the fourth brother can also be a machine and carpentry, and now they are all going to the army to train, and there are many fewer people to work at once.
"Manpower is indeed a problem, let's take our time, the existing industry has to protect my capital at the very least, and the old sister-in-law's property has also been donated to the clan, when it is given to you, it is profitable, and you lose money in your hands, but don't blame me for whipping you, there is no complaint."
"That can't be, we're sure of it."
"After making money, I can invest more in the school, otherwise where will the money come from, Yu'er will get married next year, and let me be cheeky to take money out of the child's pocket."
"Originally, I said that the old sister-in-law's property was used as a dowry for the child, and Yu'er took it out to contribute to the clan, and in the future, if Yu'er has difficulties, you can't just ignore it, regardless of whether the child lives or dies."
Grandpa specially mentioned this.
"Third uncle, look at what you said, we are not ungrateful beasts, how much Yu'er has contributed to the family and the clan, everyone has an account in our hearts. When will she be the children and grandchildren of my Li family, unless our family is dead, otherwise we can't let others bully our daughters. ”
Boss Li's clan brother was the first to speak, and the other uncles also nodded in agreement.
"You guys think about the workshop, I think about getting a furniture shop and a wine shop first, and now there is a workshop, let's go to Dali to do it, recruit more people, don't you give it away to each family, work first, and send it back if you want to learn the ability to work without working."
"Okay, will you let the carpenter in?"
It's about the secret core that doesn't let you learn.
"Come in, it doesn't matter, you can only learn one, two, three in ten years, and you can't learn anything in three or five years, so it's not a secret of the Mo family to be easy to learn."
Li Yu interjected.
"That's fine."
"Whoever comes to work first, get rid of those lists, and get the money back so that they can do something else. It's good that Steward Liu sent me a few jobs, Uncle Nine, I'll come down and tell you carefully, you pick a few people to do it first. ”
"Okay."
"Ming'er will send someone to pick up the goods in the afternoon, and I will buy some medicinal herbs and come back."
Li Yu didn't put the money in his pocket after making money from shipping, so he bought some medicinal herbs for his brothers and sisters in the clan to soak in medicinal baths, and the elderly and elders in the family couldn't do without medicinal herbs and needed to recuperate.
"Cheng, I remember."
"Yu'er, are you still buying people this year?"
"If I want to buy some, the steward told me that there are not enough manpower, and there are not enough tenant farmers, so the manpower in the government is selected from the tenant farmers first, and the death contract guarantees loyalty, and the Zhuangzi can be more relaxed, and the long-term and short-term workers are selected, and the important positions have to be guarded by their own people. The trained Zhuangzi can't let outsiders in, and it doesn't matter what else it is. ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Some other clan uncles took the initiative to answer and take the job.
