"Fourth uncle, there is one thing we have to pay attention to. Hu Xiaoer said with some concern. "We bought the Bai family's land in large quantities this time, although we did not reduce the price, but this time we bought it like this, will it attract the attention of some people. Even after the Bai family recovers, is it possible to retaliate against us? After all, the Bai family also has a bit of an official background in this Yecheng, so you have to think of a good countermeasure. ”

Fourth Uncle Hu frowned when he heard this. "There shouldn't be any problems in the near future, as soon as we buy the Bai family's land for him to relieve the siege, and all the money is a conscience price, this kind of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, the Bai family should not do it, and the eyes of those dignitaries and nobles in Yecheng in the near future should be attracted by Feng Zongyu and the matter of Nuwa's tomb, and even people from other places may be attracted to it, after all, it is a big deal for Nuwa's tomb to be broken. It is impossible not to cause a sensation, although the situation may be blocked for the time being, but after all, the paper cannot contain the fire. However, we are still safe in the near future, and when this incident is over, no one should trouble us again. ”

Hu Xiaoer nodded. "In this way, I will do the land transfer with the Bai family in the next two days. ”

Fourth Uncle Hu nodded, although his old face still looked energetic. "That's it. With the rest of the money, we can hire more tenant farmers to work for us, and the benefits can be appropriately higher than those around us. ”

Hu Xiaoer nodded to himself, and then walked out of the door. As for Ye Xuan, Hongrui and Shen Yu in the lobby, plus a group of maids, this long day, except for receiving two guests, the rest of the time sat in their respective positions in a daze. Yes, it's really boring, but work, a lot of the time, it's just aimless. As for Fourth Uncle Hu, he has never been out of the inner hall at all. I am not worried about the slacking behavior of employees.

Of course, the reason for this is that there is a certain reason for the good money with Uncle Hu, and the reason is probably because of the problem of providing jobs, Yecheng needs stability, so each store has been issued an indicator of how many sales personnel to be reached, and the government will have a certain subsidy every month after the index is completed. The benefit of this indicator is that Yecheng can reduce the factors that generate unrest, and reducing the number of unemployed vagrants is the solution to this problem. The method of apportioning this indicator among each operator and paying subsidies every month is an effective way to stabilize social stability, and it is in line with the social norm that no one can eat.

It is precisely because Uncle Hu's shop is not big, and he does not rely on this pawnshop to make a lot of money, so the management is a lot more relaxed, and it is really a job with more money and less trouble, but there is only one point, that is, the working hours are quite long, from the time the sun comes out in the morning, and then after the sun sets in the evening, you can close and rest, and if you have nothing to do, you have to stay in the store. However, under normal circumstances, the store is in a state of fineness, and as for the work of underground exploration again, it may not be possible for a few months, maybe a year or two. There is not much outdoor work. Most of them will flip through the books in the pawnshop, but the only advantage of this job is that you can read books while working, and there are really too many books to read. The employees in the pawnshop have also improved their experience a lot during their work. During this period, Ye Xuan also learned a lot about the strange people and history of Nanzhan Zhou. The small life is quite leisurely.

And the Angelica inn where he lived, because of Hongrui's military coercion, the sour scholar was a lot more cautious about Hongrui, and after that time, the regular customer of the Angelica Inn, Boss Wang, never took his little lover to the inn again, and since then, Ye Xuan and Hongrui have become the only guests of the inn, and the scholar seems to have lived a small life of receiving rent on time every month. Because of the rent given by the two of them, Prince Lu has gained a lot of weight, and his body is not as thin as it used to be. There are a lot more smiles on his face.

However, what impressed Ye Xuan was that when Lu Wanghou gave him monthly rent every month, he always went to the bookstore to pay off the book money first, and then it didn't take long for him to buy a lot of books, and then continue to be in debt. Of course, it may be that the bookstore owner can pay for the books on time every month, and for a long time afterward, it is much easier for Lu Wanghou to get the books.

Ye Xuan is sometimes curious and explores some questions with Lu Wanghou, for example, one afternoon Ye Xuan was sitting in the inn hall, while Lu Wanghou was holding a brand-new bamboo slip and was reading with relish, but the speed of reading the book was also very fast. And Hongrui was also paying her salary that day, not long ago, and she didn't know where to go shopping to buy food.

And Ye Xuan happened to be bored, so he also asked: "I said Lu Xiucai, you read books so fast every day, and the books are so miscellaneous, why don't you calm down and study a classic." ”

Lu Xiucai didn't think much about Ye Xuan's question, but blurted out directly: "The book is a thing, there is nothing to study, it is composed of small stories, and they are all reasonable stories made up by the author through a certain thing or what concept he wants to promote." Basically, a book has a lot of the author's own unique point of view.

But if I only study one book for a long time, then my life is really boring. And reading a lot of books, I can understand many things that I can't touch around me, such as the magnificent and magnificent mountains and rivers, the ethereal hermit masters, the unique and powerful ideological concepts, including the open and secret battles above the temple, and the love and hatred of the guests who go south and north, from the son of heaven to the beggars. Everything can be seen in the book, and I only need to sit in a small room to learn so much about the world, and at the same time I can read the book, my own mind can collide with the author's ideas. What an interesting and miraculous thing this is? As for those old scholars who have only studied one book all their lives, I, the prince of Lu, can only praise him for his perseverance. But for the rest, I really don't dare to say anything. It is undeniable that some strange books can be read many times and have many feelings. But if you take the time to study a book and read a large number of books, you may gain more and the breadth of your life will be broadened.

It is undeniable that the classics of the saints are really thoughtful, but if I were to only read the classics of the saints, then I might be sleepy, after all, the good books of the classics may not be as fascinating as the books that seem vulgar. ”

Lu Wanghou's words also made Ye Xuan very convinced. But he still threw a question. "It is said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books. You read books every day. What do you think?"
