But who makes the prince come for the first time, he always has to make an attitude, and there are so many officials in the entire Weicheng Mansion, either this family has something to do, or that family has something to do, and there are a lot of them.

But thinking about the generous gifts sent by those officials when she and He Louyuan got married, Ling Xiaorou really didn't think it was difficult to return some gifts, although He Louyuan was not a huge greed, but it definitely had nothing to do with honesty, and King Ning Yuan always took advantage of things like human relations.

Ling Xiaorou went back to her courtyard with the account book to look, while He Louyuan went to deal with government affairs.

Don't look at King Ningyuan before he got married, but because he first arrived in Weicheng Mansion not long ago, although he collected the army and officials, many things are still a little unreachable, not to mention that he has just received Li Xun's holy decree, the seemingly calm Weicheng Mansion is actually not calm, and if he is not careful, he may let Jiang Mengguo take advantage of it.

Not to mention that the finances of Weicheng Mansion are still a mess now, and if he doesn't tidy it up, how can he rest in peace?

Unlike those officials who are trying to figure out how to make money, because King Ningyuan's fiefs are self-sufficient, even the army wants King Ningyuan to use the taxes of the fief to support, and the tax and silver collected directly go into King Ningyuan's treasury, and how much to allocate is also a matter of King Ningyuan's words.

Whether it is Jicheng or Weicheng Mansion, it can be said that the taxes on the fief are the private property of King Ningyuan, and the army on the fief can also be regarded as King Ningyuan's own army, and the people on the fief are also the people of King Ningyuan.

This was the case when I was in Jicheng before, Jicheng is a rich city, it has always been smooth, although there is a lot of population loss due to the war, but the situation is much better than elsewhere, not to mention that Jicheng has a good development of shipping, and the tax of shipping is higher than that of other places, and King Ningyuan is really sitting at home to collect money.

But Weicheng Mansion is different, although the territory is much larger than Jicheng, but it is really vast and sparsely populated, don't look at the many years without a war, every official in this Keli is eager to dig three feet into the ground to make money, the people really can't live, those who can move away have moved away, let alone taxes.

Moreover, although Weicheng Prefecture is surrounded by the sea on three sides, the sea transportation is not very developed, and occasionally some ships transported by sea are also colluded with those corrupt officials, and there is no tax or silver to collect.

So much so that the annual tax revenue of Weicheng Mansion is not even half of that of Jicheng, and through the military register I saw a few days ago, the number of soldiers is tens of thousands more than that of Jicheng, and I don't know if there are really these soldiers, or if someone forges the military register to eat empty salaries.

Judging from the taxes of Weicheng Mansion, it is already good to raise such a large number of troops, barely enough to break even, and if there is another disaster year, King Ning Yuan will have to pay for his own money.

Of course, the prince would not do this kind of thing to fatten others with his own family funds, so in the case that the Weicheng Mansion has been taken over by him, he will send someone to the army to investigate it in the new year, and things like eating empty salaries will never be tolerated.

There is also how to make Weicheng Mansion prosperous is also the key, to find out if there are people who eat empty salaries, can only be regarded as throttling, if you want to make Weicheng rich, you don't have to worry about the prince always having to take money from his own pocket, then it can only be open source.

The richer the Weicheng Mansion, the more taxes there are, and the more bulging the prince's pocket, isn't it?

The prince thinks that he has never been a fresh and refined person, who is idle with more silver?

Fortunately, although the Weicheng Mansion is large, under the oppression of the prince's extreme means, those officials are also honest, and He Lou, who had offered his family property before, has not found a back account, but the family property will not be returned if it is confiscated.

Originally, he wanted to send it to the capital and hand it over to Li Xun, but now Weicheng Mansion is his fiefdom, and the silver is also accepted by He Louyuan with a smile, and the total amount is more than the total tax revenue of Weicheng Mansion in a few years.

As for the finances that are still a little chaotic, He Louyuan will hand them over to He Louyu to take care of, don't look at He Louyu's notoriety when he was in the capital, in fact, he is really an expert in managing accounts, looking at the accounts that make people feel like numbness to his hands, but they have all been straightened out in ten days, and even some of the excessive accounts left over from history, He Louyu have been sorted out again, and it is difficult for me to take advantage of loopholes one by one.

It is said that when the water is clear, there are no fish, and He Louyuan did not plan to pursue the bad deeds of the previous officials, anyway, more than half of the embezzled silver was in his hands, and it was meaningless to pursue it further.

As long as they promise to do their best in the future, and the hand that should not be stretched out is not stretched, He Louyuan will turn a blind eye to what happened to them before.

After all, corruption in Weicheng Mansion has a long history, and almost everyone has a share, and it is impossible for He Louyuan to change the blood of the entire Weicheng Mansion, and a large part of these corrupt officials are also affected by the environment here, and they are all really talented and learned.

Officials with a handle like this, as long as they give some favors, they are also honest and obedient, as long as they understand the rules under his jurisdiction in the future, he will not be ruthless if he is not too excessive, just like Jicheng is governed by him so well, isn't there still a corrupt official?

The men were busy opening up sources and reducing expenditure, while Ling Xiaorou was busy managing the accounts in the mansion, and seeing that there were twenty days left before the New Year, this year was not only the first year after she got married, but also the first year that Ningyuan Wangfu spent in Weicheng Mansion.

Early on, officials and local wealthy gentry sent New Year's gifts, and Ling Xiaorou also returned gifts to some important officials according to the rules of previous years under the guidance of Xi Qiu.

In the evening, when He Louyuan came back, it was already dark, Ling Xiaorou had just bathed, and several maids were wiping her hair with dry handkerchiefs. On the first day of the wedding, the groom did not come back so late, and it was really not easy for the prince to be the prince.

Just thinking about someone outside, someone announced, "The prince is back!" ”

Ling Xiaorou's eyes lit up, she was finally back, it was a bit shy to say that she was embarrassed...... Everyone is so familiar, Ling Xiaorou really doesn't.

After greeting He Louyuan, the maids withdrew very interestingly, and closed the door by the way, when there were only two people left in the house, Ling Xiaorou came over to help He Louyuan take off his coat.

He Louyuan hugged Ling Xiaorou in his arms, and Ling Xiaorou pushed him but didn't push him away.

He Louyuan said in a low voice: "Big girl, let me hold you for a while, I can't see you for a day today, but I miss me!" ”

"It's sweet in your mouth." Ling Xiaorou's heart was about to turn into a mess of water, sweet, who would have thought that King Ning Yuan, who was as serious as an iceberg in the eyes of outsiders, would also speak sweetly in private, and he would speak very smoothly.

He Louyuan hugged Ling Xiaorou and took a few deep breaths of the fragrance in his hair before he reluctantly let go of the person, but a pair of eyes were reluctant to move away from Ling Xiaorou.

If it weren't for the fact that he was so hungry, he really wanted to carry the person directly to the bed.

Ling Xiaorou asked the maid to pass the meal, and ate some with the old lady in the afternoon, the old lady was old, so she had two meals a day, and she ate lunch and afternoon dinner together.

In order to wait for He Louyuan to come back and eat together, Ling Xiaorou only ate a few bites, and at this time she was still hungry, and the rice came up, He Louyuan ate a bowl in a few bites, and the maid added another bowl, and He Louyuan took a few more bites.

Ling Xiaorou shouted from the side: "Slow down, slow down, how many times have you been hungry?" ”

He Louyuan smiled and swallowed the food in his mouth, "I drank a few bowls of soup at my mother's place in the morning, and I haven't eaten it for a day today." ”

What He Lou didn't say was that he ate fast not only because he was hungry, but mainly because he wanted to eat early and rest early.

Although he is married, this newlywed Yan'er, if he is not together, his heart is like being scratched by a cat's paws, and then there is the effect of his mother's tonic soup that makes people boil is really good, this whole day, although he is too busy to get out, he almost threw down the affairs at hand several times and came back to see Ling Xiaorou.

Ling Xiaorou completely misunderstood what the prince meant, thinking that she had been busy all day and had no time to eat, and she only drank a few bowls of soup when she got up early, so she couldn't be hungry?

It seems that Ming'er has to make some food for He Louyuan that is convenient to carry and easy to eat, or Ming'er has someone to send food to He Louyuan at noon, she is really hungry for her man, and she is also distressed.

As a result, her mind was full of how to get food for He Louyuan, and when she was hugged to bed by He Louyuan, who was full of food and drink, Ling Xiaorou remembered that they were already husband and wife, and they were still newlyweds, and it was not too much to do anything at night.

Just wanted to say that eating and drinking enough is not suitable for strenuous exercise, but he Louyuan has torn off the clothes on his body, after bathing before, the room is very warm, Ling Xiaorou wore a loose robe, which is convenient for He Louyuan.

It wasn't until Ling Xiaorou, who was so tired that she didn't have the strength to raise her hand, that she said shyly that the prince was so considerate to her last night, look at this combat effectiveness, if she missed breakfast because she couldn't get up and got up, would she be made fun of?

And Ming'er can't let the prince drink so much tonic soup again, not to mention the problem of being full, her small body can't stand the prince who has been making up for it all the time.

When she returned to the door three days, the old lady prepared a generous gift, He Louyuan accompanied Ling Xiaorou back to Ling's mansion, Ling Feng supported Yilan with a strong stomach to stand in front of the mansion and wait, Yilan also held Ling Ruixi's little hand, although the child was silent, but his two eyes kept staring at the road outside.

Ling Xiaorou got out of the carriage, and Ling Ruixi broke free of Yilan's hand and rushed over, "Aunt, aunt......"

Jumped into Ling Xiaorou's arms, was picked up by Ling Xiaorou and spun around twice, staring at Ling Xiaorou's face when he stopped, and muttered: "Aunt, you have lost weight, is the food in Ningyuan Wangfu not delicious?" Or you won't go back! ”

He Lou stared from the side, originally when he saw Ling Xiaorou hugging Ling Ruixi, his heart was sour, how could his woman hug other men? Even if the man wasn't eight years old.

Not to mention that Ling Ruixi wanted to rob his daughter-in-law as soon as he came up, and he didn't tear Ling Ruixi off Ling Xiaorou's arms and throw it away, he was still afraid that Ling Xiaorou would be angry.

And what made He Louyuan's nose even more crooked was that after listening to Ling Ruixi's words, Ling Feng couldn't help nodding beside him, "That's it, sister, you can't get used to living in Ningyuan Palace, just go home, look at this thin monster is distressing." ”

If it weren't for seeing that many people on the street were stretching their necks to look at this side, He Louyuan really wanted to drag Ling Xiaorou directly into the carriage and go back to the palace, and he wouldn't come to the Ling family in the future.
