They were all untouchables with household registration, and each of them had a wooden tooth tag issued by the yamen.

The tooth card, also known as the body card, is a small piece of polished wood.

This is the identification of ancient city residents, which is equivalent to the resident ID card of later generations.

It is engraved with the name, date of birth, main family members, place of residence, etc., and has the firemark mark and number of the issuing yamen.

In the Final Jin Dynasty, only legal residents who lived above the county seat were equipped with tooth plates to enter the city gate for easy inspection.

The vast countryside outside the county seat is not so particular.

If these people want to go to the city to run errands or visit relatives, they must go to the place where they are registered and apply for a customs clearance document, which explains where to do what to do.

This is somewhat similar to the police station certificate in later generations, or the letter of introduction from the unit.

Soldiers use nameplates, which have the unit number, military rank and rank, etc

The identity certificate of the official is called the waist card, which is more detailed, and there are also job slips, titles, and which yamen belongs to Cao.

The material of these waist cards varies with the status of the owner.

Wood, iron, copper, silver, gilt, jade, etc.

Pure gold or gold and jade belong to the exclusive use of the palace.

The identities of these concubines and servants who came to Jingyuan before they came, Ling Hupo slowly figured it out later.

Most of them are wives, concubines, children and domestic servants of the remnants of the destruction of the country, and these are all Southern Dynasties.

It is said that at that time, there were more than 100,000 members of the Southern Dynasty royal family and their families in the capital.

These people are veritable 'slaves of the country'.

There are also some ministers and officials of the Final Jin Dynasty, whose wives and concubines and children were demoted to untouchables after being asked by the emperor to behead their homes.

These huge groups of people, the imperial court organized them, screened, selected, admonished and trained.

Then the emperor will give it as a gift to the ministers and meritorious ministers.

Among the twenty men, there were two concubines, two maids, three rough women, and thirteen men, including the steward, the nurse, and the manservant.

The housekeeper's name is Yan Yao, about fifty years old, and he turned out to be the housekeeper of a large family in the Southern Dynasty.

This family was raided and destroyed, and he belonged to the court of the final Jin Dynasty, and was later assigned to the Qin State Mansion as a servant.

Now, he was ordered to bring his wife and come to Jingyuan.

There are a lot of wind and frost wrinkles on the face, but the bones of the body are quite tough.

Two concubines, one is twenty-one or twelve years old, the one is called Su Yumei, and the other is about eighteen or nineteen years old, and the more delicate one is called Chen Xianglian.

Both of them were born into the nobility of the Southern Dynasty, and they were still girls before the destruction of the country, and they were included in the Yeting Palace with the captive's family.

They grew up in the Yeting Palace, and they have been trained in all aspects of professional skills for concubines and maids.

The concubines who came out of the Yeting Palace are all like fairies, and they are all good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

When they became adults, they were rewarded to the civil and military ministers as a benefit for their dedication to the imperial court.

Of course, there are many shadows of the imperial court sitting in it.

Yumei and Xianglian belong to the concubines established by the yamen, and their status is naturally higher than that of Yan Yao.

Yan Yao came to the main hall with all the servants to meet the new master.

Linghu Po took Xu Shichang and the two concubines and formally met with the servants in the main hall.

He held their respective tooth tags in his hand, checked and inquired one by one, and officially took over the money, silk, material ledger and some treasury keys.

"Shao Dongjia, all the accounts are here, the inventory in several warehouses is recorded, and there are still some money and silver in the underground stone cellar, which are also recorded in the account books."

The housekeeper was respectful.

After Ling Hupo took over the accounts, he probably flipped through the account books.

They entered the Jingyuan for a short time, only about ten days, and there were very few accounts.

The source of these money was given to Linghupo by Guo Xiang, the Duke of Qin, one thousand taels of silver.

and twenty pieces of silk and cloth.

However, some of the silver taels were exchanged for broken silver, five baht coins, and grain storage in the granary.

Guo Xiang is very generous, this is for Xiuniang to see, but in fact, it is also to buy the hearts of Linghupo's people and block his mouth.

One thousand taels of silver, more than 20 people, it will be no problem to sit and eat for a few years.

"Five hundred taels of silver, one thousand gold baht, five baht for thirty thousand hangings, seven hundred stones of corn..."

Ling Hupo swept the account books and had a good idea of the current mansion reserves.

It's a small fortune.

The imperial court used a five-baht coin, which was a copper coin with a round square hole.

Of course, there is also gold baht, which is more valuable than silver taels.

After Ling Hupo read it, he handed the key to the small vault of gold and silver money to the elderly concubine Su Yumei.

She was stunned for a moment, and then pursed her lips, full of autumn waves, so excited that she didn't want to.

Ma Ya, who is in charge of the money of the mansion, and the housewife is not there, then he can be regarded as half a heroine.

It's unbelievable.

After returning the account book and other house keys to the housekeeper Yan Yao, Ling Hupo said:

"From today on, we are a family, we are in the same boat, Young Master Ben is here, mainly to learn to read, deal with government affairs, etc., in the future, only important things can be reported to Young Master Ben, and the rest of the matters are guarded by Xu, Su Yumei and Yan Yao are responsible for the division of labor, is there a problem?"

"Yes..."

"Of course, the young owner is so young, the old slave must do his best to saddle the horse and take care of all the mundane things, and then give the young owner the master if there is a big matter."

What the housekeeper Yanyao added was very real.

After all, his identity is only a slave, and the power is given by the owner, who will be in charge and who he serves, it is not complicated.

Ling Hupo was very satisfied with his attitude.

Of course, even if they all said so, Ling Hupo was skeptical, not all of them.

In the future, we will see the performance of these people, and then slowly sort it out.

The most important thing is to prevent the secret agents of the imperial court or the Duke of Qin, or other undercover agents, from being placed by their side.

Although he is not a conspirator, he has an undercover agent sent by someone else, so he loses his sense of security and privacy.

This is something he will never allow to exist.

That's a story for later.

In such a large house, there are twenty concubines, maidservants, maids, housekeepers, nurses, craftsmen, etc.

Just serve him as a master, what a luxury.

Linghu Slope, who crossed over from later generations, really can't imagine the extravagance and waste enjoyed by the magnates in ancient times.

Don't worry about it so much, you can enjoy it.

Think about those hard days on the frontier, licking blood on the tip of a knife, and pinning your head to the waistband of your trousers, this is the way people live.

Ling Hupo told Xu Shichang that he should try his best to mobilize those men and practice his fists, feet, knives and sticks every day to strengthen the strength of the nursing home.

In the future, he can apply to the yamen for the number of government soldiers, and with government soldiers, it is a reserve of strength.

There are many rooms in the backyard, and the bedroom and study where Linghu Po lives are very large.

The bedroom has an outer room and an inner pavilion, separated by a wall and a screen, and a curtain of beads hangs at the door.

According to modern measurement, the study room has more than 100 square meters, with a neat layout and simple and elegant furnishings.

In addition to the curled edge and bent foot writing case, the four treasures of the study are complete.

The most valuable thing is the various books neatly arranged on several shelves.

Nowadays, this is a priceless treasure and a symbol of the wealthy family.
