This thing can't be done for a while, you need to take your time, the first step is to dry the sea ship first, and you can only do the workshop after making money, the Night King is also short of money, the gate valve is also out of money, and the wool can't move.

The Gu and Li families have no money, they can't get it out, and the annual supply to the northwest is a large amount, and the two families have invested all their strength, which the Night King and the Gate Valve family know very well, and the accounts cannot be faked.

Now that there is a shortage of money everywhere in Fandi, and the people need to recuperate, the next step is to reduce or exempt the peasants' taxes again, so that the people can have enough to eat, and Fandi can be more stable.

There is no money without taxes, money is needed for construction, and there is also an increase in troops to protect oneself, and money is needed for piles and piles.

In the blink of an eye, it was snowing, and everyone had changed into thicker sweaters.

"Grandpa, I'll send you to Zhuangzi to recuperate and soak in the hot springs."

It was too cold, and several elderly people in the family were sick before and after, and the government doctor took care of them every day for half a month to get better.

"Okay."

Grandpa Gu thought that a few old brothers were in calamity and needed to cultivate, so he agreed.

"Go, I'll take care of the house, and let the doctor follow."

"Yes."

Li Yu began to arrange, and asked Ming'er to send a few old people to Zhuangzi in the apricot blossom forest early in the morning to recuperate, where there is a hot spring, and it is very comfortable to soak in winter.

Early the next morning, the children of the Gu family personally escorted the carriage to Zhuangzi to settle down.

After more than half a year of modification, Zhuangzi is a very beautiful farmhouse courtyard, pavilions, flowers and trees, all of which are designed to be very elegant, and very suitable for vacation cultivation.

"Brother Xin, pay attention to safety on the road, Wan'er take care of grandpa and aunts."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry."

This time, Brother Xin escorted everyone, Wan'er also accompanied her, she has also been busy for a year, Li Yu feels sorry for her to worry about the family, and there are no two months left at the end of the year, let me go to the hot spring to rest together, and help her take care of the elderly by the way.

Sending the old man away, Li Yu still has a lot of things to do, Gu Lei is busy with the affairs of the town, and he can't start construction in the cold, but there is still a lot of work that doesn't need to be started.

Li Yu wants to count the profits of the family property, as well as his own dowry and the property of the mansion, and at the end of the year, he has to settle the accounts, and he has to make an appointment with the steward to discuss the arrangements for next year.

"It's snowing this year, the snow is quite thick, I'm worried that there will be more rain next year, and this year's grain will not be sold, so let's keep it for ourselves, and the excess will not be wasted as wine."

Li Yu sat in the main hall, met with the stewards, and arranged them one by one.

"Yes, young grandmother, I bought a few Zhuangzi in the summer, and I also need people over there, do you want to dial some skilled hands?"

"You look at the second steward to do it in the past, and lift the young and experienced ones to do the second stewardship, now our family is short of people, and only by doing more can we have a future, otherwise we will not fall well."

"Yes, then I'll sort it out and report back to you."

"Yes."

"The medicinal materials for the beginning of spring should be sent back in time, and when we see that the price of good medicinal materials is right, we will take it, we only have not enough, there is no reason why it cannot be used up, and there is also a shortage of medicinal materials in the northwest, although we are bold to buy, the price must be right, and the money in our hands is limited."

"Yes."

"There are a few civilian places in the academy next year, I want three to come back, the grandson of Steward Sun occupies one, the other two, one is for Steward Yang's grandson, and finally the uncle said to steward Ma, he has worked hard outside all these years, our family has not forgotten everyone's merits, and there is still a chance to turn over the New Year if you are not in the row, don't worry, come and talk to me if you want, you can discuss."

At the end of the year, when it is time to reward and punish meritorious, you must also give the stewards a chance for the future.

What future steward is the rarest, that is, to change the court, who wants to be a slave for a lifetime, and there is no lack of heart.

The third generation of slaves can be good citizens, and Sun Guan himself is the fourth generation, so he naturally hopes to be a scholar, so Li Yu arranged for his grandson to go to the academy to study and enter as a commoner.

Even such an opportunity was not something he could catch by himself, so he was naturally very happy.

Several stewards immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, thanking them a thousand times.

"The slave bows and thanks the master for his great kindness......

"Get up, I also hope that there are more and more talents that our family can use, if your children are promising, you can also consider arranging official seats for you, the premise is to take the right path."

"Yes, we have been Gu family for generations, and the golden nest and silver nest are not as strong as our own kennels."

Steward Sun's words are not rough, they will not redeem themselves to be good citizens, their children and grandchildren redeem themselves for the future, in order to study and get an official position.

It's really a free family, that's the trouble, now it's difficult to survive in the troubled times, the Gu family has deep roots, has military merits, has a family style and connections, relying on the Gu family's connections, children and grandchildren can also be officials if they have merit and fame.

This is the path taken by the servants of the family, taking advantage of the east wind to reach the clouds.

is much more stable than the future of a poor scholar, and there is a background to take care of, and others dare not bully easily, and being an official does not have a future if he is not famous.

And Steward Sun and others have been slaves of the Gu family for several generations, in fact, the Gu family is also their root, and they will never leave unless they have to, even if their descendants have a future, they still have to rely on the Gu family, and they still belong to the Gu family.

"Go and study hard, seize the opportunity, and the future will depend on yourself."

"Yes."

Li Yu made new arrangements and arrangements, and bought a lot of land and shops in the south of the Yangtze River to prepare for the future.

Jiangnan is rich in grain, and it is impossible for the Night King not to see it, so it is necessary to deploy in advance, and the same is true for Shudi.

These strategies need to be arranged by a forward-looking clan woman, and they are also left behind for the family.

The Gu family came out of the capital and was not defeated, it was the old lady who worked bravely and worked hard in several places when she was young, and there were profitable industries in several places, which supported the Gu family from falling.

Now it is Li Yu who is planning these, and it is also a inheritance from generation to generation.

After a busy morning, I was relieved to drink tea.

Gu Lei came back, and Li Yu got up to greet him.

"Is there something to tell you to come back so early?"

"I made an appointment to have dinner in the afternoon, come back early to have lunch with you, are you tired, there are many things to do at the end of the year, I can't finish it and wait for me to come back to get it together, don't exhaust yourself."

Gu Lei touched her little face distressedly.

"It's okay, how can I wait for you, today I met with the steward, arranged a few major events, and then went to key locations such as Jiangnan and Shudi, as well as Guangdong and Fujian to buy Zhuangzi and open a store, and our own road must be paved, so as not to be controlled by others."

"Okay, you can't make a mistake."

"Our workshop is going to increase its efforts to make dyes this year, this piece of small fights last year accounted for one-third of the profits, it is really a lot of money, with the east wind of His Highness, in the past two years, we will grasp the dye thing, get the formula out, and strive to take the lead."

Li Yu reacted quickly, led the family to move forward bravely, had a good strategy and long-term vision, and looked at the problem in the long run, and the family property had regained its vitality and had a thriving trend.

Now the Gu family clan admires her a hundred times, and everyone is in their hearts, and no one dares to disobey her.

The Gu family, which was united, showed its due strength, and also let the gate valve see Li Yu's ability.
