This is where the guards of the county palace live.

And these guards are all exclusive guards assigned by the Zongren Mansion to the major royal palaces of the royal family.

According to the rules of the Great Zhou royal family.

Each prince can have 300 soldiers, and there is no need for the Zongren Mansion to transfer troops to guard it.

The status of the county king is one rank lower, but he can also have a hundred soldiers.

The expenses of the family soldiers were all supported by the extra money given by the Zongren Mansion.

But there is not a single soldier in the palace of Linping County, all of them are guards transferred from the Zongren Mansion.

There weren't a lot of people, just seventeen.

In the entire county king's mansion, there is only one Zhou Lang in the main family now.

Including the other servants, there were only thirty-three in all.

"Little Shunzi, go and tell them to get up."

Zhou Lang said lightly.

Zhou Xiaoshun hurriedly pushed open the door and woke up the ten guards who were resting in the room one by one.

In an instant, the grumbling continued to sound.

"Xiao Shunzi, what are you doing?"

"It's early in the morning and it's not time to be on duty."

"What are you arguing about?"

"I played cards all night last night, and I haven't slept well."

"Hurry up, the prince is waiting outside!"

"Shizi, he hasn't been in the back house all the time."

"What are you doing here?"

A group of guards dressed in surprise and reluctantly walked out of the room.

Sure enough, I saw Zhou Lang, dressed in a brocade robe, standing in the courtyard.

"See the Son."

"Shizi, do you want us to accompany you to practice so early?"

The guards greeted each other with a smile on their faces.

In their hearts, this son has no deterrent power.

The guards who have been guarding the palace of Linping County all the year round have watched this son grow up since childhood.

I'm used to laughing together.

"Guys, I'm here today."

"I have something to tell you."

"My father has passed the seal of the county king's mansion to me."

"From now on, I am the only owner of this county palace."

Zhou Lang raised the seal and said lightly.

"Ah......h

"His Royal Highness the King of the County has given you the seal!"

For a moment, all the guards stared at the seal, and their eyes were straight.

With the seal of the county king's mansion in hand, Zhou Lang is the real new owner of the entire county king's mansion!

It's just that they don't know, what the hell is the son going to do?

"You are the Qianniuwei sent by the Zongren Mansion to guard the county palace."

"From now on, you will have to obey my commands alone in the palace."

"You're all clear, right?"

Zhou Lang asked.

"Subordinates, obey the orders of the prince!"

All the guards put away their smiles and hurriedly bowed their heads and clasped their fists in salute.

"Follow me to the front yard to be on duty."

"Everything is at my command."

Zhou Lang turned around and strode towards the main courtyard in the front yard.

He just wanted to figure out all the running expenses of the county king's mansion as soon as possible.

and the silver money and materials in the warehouse of the county king's mansion, as well as the situation of his own fiefdom.

This is the basic condition for Zhou Lang's future survival.

Can you live the luxurious life of a famous nobleman?

It depends on the past property of the county king's mansion......

When they came to the main courtyard, several servants were cleaning the courtyard.

Seeing Zhou Lang, he only nodded slightly and said hello casually.

Zhou Lang was speechless.

This stupid prince is in the county king's mansion, and he hardly has any prestige.

And along the way, the servants Zhou Lang saw were all old men and old women.

Not a single young servant.

When I came to the main hall of the palace, I looked at someone in the account room on one side.

Zhou Lang didn't go in directly.

"Xiao Shunzi, who is in the tent of the main hall?"

"Qiqi Shizi, it should be the housekeeper inside."

Zhou Xiaoshun replied.

"Have the guards guard around the courtyard and hide."

"Then gather all the people in the palace to come."

Zhou Lang said lightly.

"Understood."

Zhou Xiaoshun already understands that the prince is going to make a move on the head manager!

Excitedly, he hurried to inform an old man who was cleaning the courtyard.

Let him call all his subordinates......

Zhou Lang stood outside, waiting quietly.

Ten Qianniu guards carried long knives at their waists and hid in the hiding places around the courtyard.

At this time, they were also very curious.

What the hell does this stupid man want to do today?

After a while, many servants on both sides of the main courtyard rushed to hear the news.

They didn't know what was going on, and they all stood in the corner of the courtyard in confusion.

Whispering to each other about the situation.

"Shizi, the number of people in the county king's mansion has reached fourteen."

"Except for the bookkeeper and the general manager, and the people who sent out."

"It's all here now."

Zhou Xiaoshun reported.

Zhou Lang glanced back, speechless in his heart.

Just because most of the people he saw in the county king's mansion were men over fifty years old.

There is not a single young woman or strong man in sight.

How could the situation in the Junwang Mansion be so weird?

"Call the steward out of me."

"Yes."

Zhou Xiaoshun walked up the steps, pushed open the door and entered the main hall.

After a while, a man's reprimand sounded inside.

"Xiao Shunzi, what are you doing in the account room early in the morning?"

"What, the prince is outside?"

"He, he came to the front yard?"

The man's voice asked in surprise.

"Chief, go and meet the prince."

Zhou Xiaoshun urged.

With the sound of footsteps, three people walked out of the gate.

Led by a man in his thirties.

The man's appearance was quite Sven, but there was a sly look in the man's eyes.

made Zhou Lang feel a little uncomfortable.

It seems that his guess was correct.

The county king's mansion has been controlled by the chief manager for so many years, and I am afraid that he has made a lot of oil and water in the middle.

"Slave Zhou Fu, see His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Slave Wanfeng, see His Royal Highness the Prince."

Manager Zhou hurriedly walked down the steps and said with a fist towards Zhou Lang.

The bookkeeper who followed behind him bowed his head and saluted respectfully.

"Excuse me."

"I came to the front yard today because I was entrusted by my father."

"I want to see the current accounts of the county king's mansion."

"Is it to the point where you can't open the pot?"

Zhou Lang said lightly.

"His Royal Highness the King of the County asked the prince to check the accounts?"

"Why didn't the minions get the message......

"Son, where is Your Highness now?"

Manager Zhou's eyes widened in surprise.

"Father has returned to the back mountain to practice."

"Sir, take out the accounts and let me take a closer look."

"Why did I go to Gufu to propose marriage, and the bride price was only worth fifty taels of silver?"

"Shizi, you don't know anything."

"It's not that the slave refuses to spend a lot of money to prepare the bride price."

"Rather...... There is no money in the county king's mansion! ”

"Your bride price is still the cost saved by the minions gritting their teeth."

"Otherwise, you won't even be able to get thirty taels of silver......

Zhou Fu hurriedly explained.

"Joke!"

"The palace of Linping County is dignified, and one thousand and two people's mansions are enshrined every year."

"There are also 300 fiefdoms and 2,000 acres of fertile land."

"How can you not even take out thirty taels of silver?"

Zhou Lang sneered.

"The son of the world doesn't know anything."

"The county king's mansion is offered 1,000 taels every year, and most of it has to be supplied to the cultivation needs of His Royal Highness Houshan."
