The manor given by Prince Yu is in Luliu Village, 70 miles outside Yujing City, and its name is also called "Luliuzhuang". After Hong Yi came back from the palace, he moved over overnight.

He didn't have any possessions, so it was easy to move, and a carriage carried several large boxes, four horses, and four people, and he was flexible.

The location of Luliu Village is very good, outside the village is a big river, called Bailang River, which winds thousands of miles from the south, through Yujing, and then into the East China Sea.

The Bailang River runs through almost half of the water transportation in Daqian, so that all the materials and commodities in the south are continuously transported to Yujing, and even the surrounding towns.

Therefore, the town of Luliu Village is also extremely prosperous, and if you want to buy something, you don't have to travel far to Yujing.

Zhuangzi is in the depths of Luliu Village, full of hugging willows, small bridges and flowing water, staggered harbors, dense springs, fertile fields, fish ponds and fish and shrimp are fat, it is like the land of fish and rice in the south.

"Lots of big houses. ”

This is the emotion that Xiao Mu exclaimed when he saw Zhuangzi for the first time.

Indeed, there are many houses in the manor, more than 30 rooms, one sè of fine cedar wood, built of thick blue bricks, and even the outside is all made of thick brick walls, which are three people high, and the walls are made of thistles to prevent people from climbing.

What's more, in all corners of the manor, there are lookouts built of stone towers, so you can see the situation outside from afar. You can also condescendingly use a bow and crossbow to hit people outside the wall.

Hong Yi looked at these lookouts, and nodded secretly in his heart, if something happens, as long as he sends jīng archers who are good at shè righteousness to step on the lookouts, even if there are hundreds of people outside, it will be difficult to attack them.

Generally, these things were also built in the courtyards of large families to prevent natural disasters and famines, tenant riots, and bandits and robbery.

On the other side of the Zhuangzi is a mill, a winery, an oil press, and a farm for raising pigs, chickens and ducks, half of which are eaten by themselves and half are sold to increase income.

In addition to this, there are mulberry trees outside, houses for raising silkworms and weaving silk.

In addition to paddy fields, vegetable fields, and mulberry forests, there are also tea mountains and fish ponds.

This is a typical farm, in addition to salt, firewood, rice, grain, rape, tea, meat, all self-sufficient.

"Wuwen Houfu also has such a Zhuangzi outside Yujing City, about 30 more, a Zhuangzi brews wine, raises silkworms, produces tea, etc., and also has an income of 5,000 taels. Prince Yu is the prince, and Zhuangzi should be more, about a hundred. ”

Hong Yi knew that the main source of income for those princes and princes in Yujing City was to rely on the annual income of these estates. In addition to that, the treasury of the Lu, that is a drizzle.

The princes and princes are not in business, and occasionally there are greedy interests, but they only provide convenience for businessmen and share dividends. But even this is easy to be criticized, not by scholars.

"The annual expenditure of the Marquis of Wuwen's Mansion is about 100,000 taels of silver, and the income from the seven or eight hundred people in the Great Marquis Mansion is just flat! If there is any flood and famine year, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Hou Mansion to turn around. But the Hou Mansion has never been short of money for so many years, but I am afraid that there is money transferred by the Zhao family. ”

After Hong Yi became familiar with the manor given to him by Yang Qian, the Prince of Jade, a thought suddenly surged in his heart.

"No wonder Hong Xuanji relies so heavily on Mrs. Zhao, he wants to maintain decency, maintain his incorruptible image, and can't take bribes to do things, but a huge Hou Mansion, seven or eight hundred people eat and drink, all kinds of etiquette, sacrifices, rewards, no silver is absolutely impossible. If there is no support from the Zhao family, don't look at the scenery of the Hou Mansion, but it is also difficult. ”

"Yes, what is my mother? Even if she is a saint of the Supreme Dao, she has no wealth or power. Compared with Mrs. Zhao's slut for hundreds of years, it is nothing at all! Hong Xuanji wants to be honest in the imperial court, not let people seize the handle, and maintain his own decent power, so he has to rely on the Zhao family. ”

Hong Yi suddenly deeply understood that his father Hong Xuanji and Mrs. Zhao's money, power and interests were combined.

Under this combination of interests, his mother has no room at all.

After moving, three days later, the manor was officially handed over to Hong Yi, and various land deeds were also transferred to Hong Yi's name.

At the same time, Yang Qian, the prince of jade, also removed the original manager's head of the village, the account office, the family members, the martial artist of the nursing home, etc. In addition to those long-term workers who worked, the tenants also remained, maintained the production of the manor, and all the people who controlled the manor went out and let Hong Yi arrange it himself.

Hong Yi knew that Prince Yu was not suspicious of using people, and he didn't need to be suspicious, and he didn't send anyone to monitor him. This is even more benevolent and effective.

in the room.

Shen Tianyang became the big butler, holding a large pile of account books, gradually counting the money.

Although he is an old man, he has so many properties in his hands, counting them one by one, and the expenditure is the first time, and his expression is quite excited.

"Benefactor, now the balance of silver in the treasury in Zhuangzi is 7,000 taels of silver, in the past, every year, when the year was good, Zhuangzi's annual income was so much, if you don't pay tribute to the prince, it is enough for Zhuangzi's own expenses. ”

Hong Yi sat on a chair, which was made of yellow rosewood, which was a standard wood for large landowners.

"Well, although it is said that this Zhuangzi was rewarded to me by the prince, but the annual offering is still given, and the palace expenses are very large, since I have promised to assist him, I can't hold him back in the money. Let's take care of the Zhuangzi better, and make more offerings every year than the original, which is the matter. ”

Although Hong Yi is only sixteen years old now, at this age, he is already an adult in Daqian, and it is not uncommon for him to be the master of the house.

took refuge in the Jade Prince, and Hong Yi knew in his heart that he was already a prosper and a loser.

"But how can we increase Zhuangzi's income? This year doesn't seem to be a good year, and after a few months, it has rained a chūn. I'm afraid the harvest is not as good as in previous years. Shen Tianyang frowned.

"Harvest?" Hong Yi closed his eyes, and suddenly, his thoughts flashed: "Last time in the valley, I ate the little fox's peanuts and sweet potatoes, which tasted very good, they said that they were easy to plant, I might as well go and take a look, there must be seeds, the people of Daqian Yujing like rare things, if these two things are planted, at the beginning, they should be able to buy a good price!"

Thinking of this, Hong Yi was also quite excited.

On the martial arts training ground outside the window, it was Shen Tiezhu, who was nine feet tall, practicing martial arts with ten strong men!

These ten strong men, all of them have sharp eyes and martial arts, and they were lost by the little marquis of Changle.

It just so happens that after the Jade Prince's Zhuang Ding and the courtyard are withdrawn, these people can act as guards.

"Xiao Mu, prepare the horse, let's go to Xishan. ”

Seeing Xiao Mu firing the bow and arrows outside, his technique was like a bead, and he was so shocked that a strong man who had been a soldier was speechless, and Hong Yi screamed.
