Time Traveling: The Little Hou Ye is the Head of the House

The door of Eunuch Yu's room was open, and there was a sound coming from inside. It seemed that there were guests. Hearing the guard's voice, Eunuch Yu came out.Eunuch Yu is in his thirties, and looks very shrewd and steady. He knows Steward Ji, and when he saw Steward Ji smiled, he said, "What wind brought Steward Ji here, isn't Eldest Young Master here?" His eyes wandered. After a while, he didn't see Li Hong's figure, but he looked at Li Luo again from the corner of his eye.After all, the battle surrounded by guards is a bit huge.

"The eldest young master is not coming, and the meritorious field will be handed over to our Lord Hou in the future. This is our Lord Hou." Ji Butler introduced.

Eunuch Yu was taken aback, a little surprised, this little boy turned out to be Zhongyonghou.Then he immediately laughed and said, "Ah, my slaves don't know Mount Tai. I don't even know that the young master is coming, so I ask the young master to forgive me."

"There are quite a lot of slaves here who don't know Mount Tai." Li Luo followed his words.

Eunuch Yu was swallowed, and then laughed again: "Young Master, why are you here this time?"

"Benhou will send someone to take charge of the meritorious field from now on, and I won't bother the House of Internal Affairs anymore. This time, Benhou is here to settle the bill." Li Luo said directly, "Is Eunuch Yu going to talk to Benhou here? Or?"

Eunuch Yu immediately made a gesture of invitation: "Master Xiaohou is here to invite, the people inside happen to have something to look for at the Houfu."

"Oh?" Li Luo strode in.

There were three men sitting in the inner hall, all of them had sullen faces, it could be seen that their conversation inside just now was not happy.

"Three foremen, this is Marquis Zhongyong. The farm work you did before was in the fields of Lord Hou's house. If you have anything to do, you can directly talk to Lord Hou." Yu Gong said.

There was a smile on the corner of Li Luo's mouth, which was interesting, is Eunuch Yu giving him power?

Li Luo sat directly on the main seat: "If you have anything to say, you might as well just say it."

The three foremen looked at Li Luo as a child, what should they say about this?They looked at each other and hesitated for a moment.Finally, one of them decided to give it a try: "Master Hou, we haven't paid us the wages for working in the fields in the first half of this year. When will we be paid?"

Salary for the first half of the year? "Steward Ji, the ledger."

"Yes." Butler Ji hurriedly took out the ledger.

Li Luo took the account book and asked Eunuch Yu: "Eunuch Yu, you gave this account book to my brother, right?"

Eunuch Yu stepped forward to take it, and flipped through it: "The servant gave it to the young master."

"If I'm not mistaken, the account book says that the balance of the rice in the first half of the year is 200 taels of silver. The balance means that after deducting all expenses, why haven't they paid their wages yet?" Li Luo asked. 200 taels of silver is equivalent to a balance of income and no money to make.

"Hou Ye is like this. The balance of the rice in the first half of the year is indeed 200 taels, but the money for the rice sold in the first half of the year has not been returned. If all the money is returned and the wages are paid to them, there will be a balance of 200 taels. .” Eunuch Yu replied.

"Really? Then in the first half of the year, our 36-mu meritorious field has a total of 100 catties of rice. The price of 1 tael per 3600 catties of rice should be [-] taels, right?" Li Luo asked.

Eunuch Yu was a little surprised. Although the little boy may have prepared in advance, his verbal expression was really clear, and the numbers were also quite clear.

"Hou Ye is right, Hou Ye is really good at arithmetic." Eunuch Yu praised.

Li Luo smiled slightly, a little embarrassed: "This Marquis was taught by the Holy Majesty since he was a child, and he dare not disappoint the Holy Majesty's hope."

Eunuch Yu smiled, but his smile was stiff because his heart was already turbulent.This little boy was raised by the Holy Spirit?Eunuch Yu took the initiative to make up Li Luo's meaning. "The emperor treats Lord Hou very well."

"Hey..." Li Luo sighed, "You also know that Benhou's father is Li Xu, who died four years ago for the Holy Majesty, so the Holy Majesty has always been very kind to Benhou. No, I returned it to Benhou some time ago. I mean marriage, guess who is it?" Sometimes, the fiancé's reputation is not in vain.

Li Luo decided to pretend to be a tiger.

"Which family's Miss Qianjin is it?" Eunuch Yu found that this little boy was very unusual.

"It's His Royal Highness Qi. The Holy Majesty has appointed this Marquis to His Highness Qi. Do you think it's Lord Hou? Or Princess Qi?" Li Luo asked.

Eunuch Yu smiled awkwardly, and could only answer: "Your Majesty has a high status, so either one is fine." The little boy did it on purpose, and he came here to show him off.

Immediately, Eunuch Yu had one head and two big ones, his heart was pounding, and his forehead began to sweat.

Li Luo caught his expression in his eyes: "Grandpa Yu, how much did we get back for the 3600 taels of rice, and how much is the difference? The wages of the common people plus materials are about 3400 taels of silver. How much have we paid now?" , how far is it?"

The topic changed too quickly, and Eunuch Yu didn't realize it all at once.

"Eunuch Yu?" Seeing that Eunuch Yu didn't answer, Li Luo called out again.

"Ah?" Eunuch Yu came back to his senses, "Master Hou, I suddenly have a stomachache, can I make it easier for me?"

"Go, you really look like Eunuch Hai, he often has a stomachache in the middle of chatting with me." Li Luo said casually.

Eunuch Yu's heart tightened again: "How can a slave compare with Director Hai, I dare not dare." Then he seemed to be able to escape for his life.

After leaving his house, Eunuch Yu went to find Eunuch Bu.

"What did you say?" Eunuch Bu put down his teacup abruptly, "Is that little boy engaged to His Royal Highness King Qi?" He remembered that it was said in the city that His Highness King Qi was engaged to a little boy, but what kind of person, and they This kind of person can't get involved at all, so he just listened to it as gossip, how could he know that the future Princess Qi is actually that little prince.

"He seems to have a good relationship with Shengshang and Chief Hai." Eunuch Yu said again.

"Nonsense, the future Princess Qi must be favored by the Holy Majesty." Eunuch Bu's face darkened.

Eunuch Yu shrank his head, now he hit something hard, but what does this matter have to do with him?Although he took advantage, it was only a little bit of triviality, and it was incomparable with this eunuch Bu.It was not his idea to report 500 catties of rice for 350 catties.

When it came time to say that he didn't receive it, it wasn't even his idea. Now that it's all over, it's on the future Princess Qi, so he showed his face to himself. Could it be his problem?

"I'm going to marry the account book today. Don't worry about what was taken away before. Now if he takes it out, he will have a handle, and he won't let us go. After all the wages are settled, it is said that the money is with me. I I have been busy these few days and forgot to tell you." Eunuch Bu thought for a while and said, "Send this Buddha away immediately."

"Be polite, King Qi is the only one in the entire capital, and he is more honored than the princes." Emperor Zhao Ning respected his elder brother Prince Yan too much, and treated his nephew better than his son. know things.

When Eunuch Yu left, Li Luo asked the three foremen for some information, and everything he knew was clear.The rice sold at the wholesale price of 100 taels of silver 100 catties, the rice shop sells [-] taels of silver [-] catties, which is equivalent to half of the profit, which is really good money.However, the price of rice is almost the same across the country, because the price of rice cannot be messed up.

Li Luo had an idea in his mind. He didn't bother to buy such cheap rice, but he had his own idea.There are still 5000 taels of silver he brought from Gu Junchen, and 8000 taels of the 4000 taels given by the emperor are left. The box of jewelry left by Li Xu has not been cleaned up. Where is the money?

How to make money is not important, what is most important is how to do something that is beneficial to yourself.

When Eunuch Yu came back, he was carrying a bag of silver. "Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time. When I came back, I ran into Boss Bu. Boss Bu said that the people from the rice shop had already delivered the money. He was too busy a few days ago and forgot."

oh?Such a coincidence?What about cheating ghosts?

"Really? What a coincidence." Li Luo smiled implyingly, "In that case, let's pay the foreman first."

In front of Li Luo, Eunuch Yu gave the wages to the foreman, and gave Li Luo the remaining 200 taels of silver.

In this way, the account in May has been settled, and the rest is the rice that will be harvested in September. "I heard that according to the rules, the wages of autumn rice are settled after the rice harvest in September, right?"

"Yes, this is the rule here." Mr. Yu said fairly.

"In this way, aren't ordinary people afraid of the boss's repudiation?" Li Luo asked.

Eunuch Yu didn’t know how to answer the question. He thought to himself: Even if he reneged on his debts, he could only consider himself unlucky. After all, ordinary people are lowly, how can they compare with rich and powerful bosses?But in front of Li Luo, Eunuch Yu couldn't answer, so he could only say: "No, the people who cooperate here are all old relationships, and they trust each other very much."

Li Luo nodded: "I don't have Qiu Dao's account book here. I plan to take over Qiu Dao myself. Eunuch Yu will give me Qiu Dao's account book."

Eunuch Yu was taken aback: "Qiu Dao Qian Mu, are you busy enough to come here? If you are so busy here, you will be too tired."

Li Luoman said indifferently: "What's the matter? I have twenty guards and a hundred servants in the Hou's mansion, and there are private soldiers, guards and servants in the Qi Wang's mansion. I even greeted Eunuch Hai yesterday. Even the Ministry of Internal Affairs who are short of manpower can also lend out."

Eunuch Yu wants to scold someone, is there anything so irritating? "Master Hou, you are right. If you have labor in hand, you can save money."

"Of course, these wages can be used to buy food for poor families." Li Luo was very grateful for Yu Gonggong's words, "Frugality is a virtue, we must learn from it."

Learn from your sister.

"Then when do you plan to settle the wages for Autumn Rice?" Eunuch Yu asked.If the wages are paid from them, they can still make some money. Five taels of silver is said to be six taels. This kind of money is very easy to earn, but if Li Luo settles the settlement by himself, I'm afraid it won't work.

"You gather all those who owe wages. I live in the village these days, so I should settle the accounts first," Li Luo said.

"Yes, I'm going to gather right now. There are a total of ten foremen in Qianmu Land. Besides these three foremen, there are seven more, all of whom are from nearby villages. About two days will be enough." Yu Gong said, The Buddha should be sent away early.

"In two days, I'll come back the day after tomorrow. I'll be back to the Hou Mansion in the afternoon." Li Luo said.

"Master Hou, go slowly." Go fast.

Li Luo came out of the manor and said to Li Changcheng: "Leave six guards, and let them watch here in groups of two, and let them put their own safety first."

After Li Changcheng ordered the guards, Li Luo and his party went back.Back at Hou Mansion, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.Li Luo first went to Yuanse Courtyard, and then said to Ji Guanjia: "Go and invite the young master to come to Yuanse Courtyard."

Li Yang was a little surprised that Li Luo came back so early. In fact, she had been worried since Li Luo left in the morning. Even Li Hong couldn't solve the matter of the meritorious field. Although Li Luo was a bit courageous, how could a five-year-old child solve it? Got it?So she has been restless.Seeing Li Luo come back now, she hurriedly got up: "Brother Luo is back? How is it? Did they make things difficult for you... Madam Yang, prepare sweet soup for the young master."

"Mother, don't worry, everything is going well." Li Luo sat down and drank a bowl of mung bean soup. The taste was light and not very sweet, but it was just right.

Li Hong arrived soon, and was very excited to see Li Luo: "Sixth brother, are you okay? Those people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs have made things difficult for you.

Li Yang smiled lightly: "Your sixth younger brother is Lord Hou and your future Princess Qi, how dare they make things difficult?" Although she was very worried just a moment ago.

"Mother is right." Li Luo took out the account book and money, "This is the balance in May, 200 taels of silver. By May, all the accounts have been settled."

Li Hong was surprised: "Have you got the 200 taels of silver? In the past, the balance of silver had to be delayed for a year to get it. Even if a thousand mu of fertile land is rented out, there is still a thousand taels of silver a year. The two batches of rice in summer and autumn are not worth 1000 taels." The balance, the House of Internal Affairs is a place to eat people."

"Shut up, who are you talking to? Be careful that walls have ears." Li Yang said sternly, "You just don't care when you speak. Your sixth brother is younger than you, but he does things more reliably than you. Learn from your sixth brother." point."

Li Hong smiled awkwardly: "That's right, but mother, you should also save me some face."

Hong sighed. "Then according to Sixth Brother's intention, we only have Qiu Dao's account left?"

"En." Li Luo responded, but did not continue to answer.

Li Yangshi was thinking, and wanted to wait for Li Luo to continue, but Li Luo didn't speak, and she didn't know what Li Luo was thinking?She originally wanted to say that since the meritorious service field was given to Li Luo, Li Luo was in charge of everything, but it seemed that the division was too clear.She knew that in the future, only they could rely on Li Luo, not Li Luo.

"Do you have any plans?" Li Yangshi asked carefully.

Li Luo came back to his senses and nodded: "Yes, there is a thousand acres of fertile land, which can grow about 50 catties of rice, and sell it wholesale for only 5000 taels of silver, so I plan to use this 50 catties of rice for charity .”

"Doing good deeds?" Li Yang was startled, 5 catties of rice to do good deeds, which is a big deal.How much courage and wisdom does it take to say such a thing? "How are you going to do good?"

"I plan to open a charity shop dedicated to doing good deeds. The meritorious field is rewarded by the sage, but this honor is bought by my father with his life. The rice twice a year should be a blessing for my father and a meritorious deed for the descendants of the Marquis Mansion." "Li Luo thought for a while, and then continued, "I have always made great achievements, but no one has done good deeds. I think His Majesty is also willing to use the meritorious deeds bestowed by the Holy Majesty to give back to the people. The children and grandchildren of the family will inherit it, and may they continue to accumulate virtue and do good deeds for the descendants of the Marquis Mansion."

Li Yangshi was deeply shocked, and after a while, she gradually became clear-headed.They calculated a little bit of money, but this person was thinking about the future, is this really a five-year-old child? "So I can use my shop." She found herself a little nervous. Her shop will be reserved for her grandchildren in the future. It would be best to use it as a charity shop. "My mother has no talent in business, and the shop can't make much money." Money, just enough for you to use."

Li Luo was a little surprised.He has always thought that Li Yang is a very scheming person who clearly divides interests.In fact, Li Yang's division of interests is indeed very clear, but what Li Luo does is beneficial to the Hou family, and what is beneficial to the Hou family is also beneficial to her.So she still thinks very far. "I have three shops on hand, one of which is my dowry, and the later two were bought with the money from the public. The shops in the public are all from the Hou's mansion, which is just right for charity. The one I got as a dowry A shop, and I will give it to Sister Lin as a dowry in the future."

"Listen to mother's arrangement." Li Luo had no objection, "Are the two shops big?"

"The two shops are lined up together, with two facades, you can take a look." Li Yang said.In fact, these two shops were bought with her private house, but since it was taken out, it is better to say that it is a shop in the public house, and the money for buying the shop is subsidized from the public house to her private house.

"Okay." Li Luo had no objection, "There is one more thing. I have officially taken over the meritorious field since Qiudao, and I will take care of all the accounts inside. But... I want to hand over the charity shop to my elder brother. .”

Li Hong had something to do, and he was very happy.But he also felt bitter, he is a scholar, he can't do anything, in such a situation at home, let a five-year-old child be the head of the house, he is really useless.

"Don't worry, big brother will manage it well."

"But if this is the case, the wages for the autumn rice, the wages for the shop... If the money comes from the public, the cost is not small." Li Yang said, "The only income of the public is the lease of 1200 mu of fertile land. The income of a thousand taels of silver is only enough for the expenses of our Marquis Mansion."

I'm ashamed to say that the Hou Mansion has a big facade, but it's really down and out.

"It's okay. The wages come from the rice sold. If you sell some 50 catties of rice, it will be enough for your wages."

After the three discussed, Li Luo returned to Qiongji Courtyard.

"Master Hou, you are back." Xin Bao happily stepped forward, "His Royal Highness Qi Wang sent you a letter."

oh?Li Luo took the letter, opened it and read it, and the result was one sentence: What does it mean?

Li Luo looked at it, and leaned forward and backward with a smile.Thinking of Gu Junchen's stern expression asking what he meant, Li Luo found it interesting. "I'll write a letter and you send it."

Qi Wangfu

When Xin Bao delivered the letter, Gu Junchen was ready for dinner.Hearing the letter from Zhongyonghou's mansion, His Royal Highness Qi Wang said lightly: "Let him come to the study." After saying that, he went to the study by himself.The pace... a little fast.

Gu Junchen opened the letter written by Li Luo: Memoda means a kiss.

Gu Junchen looked at the letter, unable to concentrate.He felt that his lips were a little dry, so he stuck out his tongue and licked them.He felt his throat was dry and wanted to drink water, but there was no tea in the study.When that little bastard was not engaged to himself, he had all kinds of kisses.Well... I only kissed myself once when I jumped forward, and it was still on the mouth.Now that she's engaged, she's becoming more frivolous and less reserved.

Gu Junchen touched his lips, is it really okay for the little bastard to be so Meng Lang?But he and the little bastard are unmarried couples, so Meng Lang is fine.

If the two respect each other as guests, this day will be monotonous.

Gu Junchen thought for a long time, and finally replied.

When Xin Bao went back with the letter, he was carrying other things in his hand, which were some of Li Luo's favorite snacks.The cook of Prince Qi's Mansion came from the Imperial Dining Room, and there was only one in the big capital. Li Luo couldn't find the cook he wanted to hire.In fact, according to the idea of ​​taking care of Junchen, I really want to pack the cook directly to Zhongyonghou's mansion, but the cook was rewarded to him by the emperor after all.

Li Luo moved his nose: "It smells so good, what did you bring?"

"Snacks and dishes are all you like." Xin Bao put the things on the table, and then took out the letter, "This is a letter from the prince."

Li Luo was not in a hurry to read the letter, and he didn't like to be served by servants when he was eating, and he didn't have a big appetite, so Xin Bao shared some leftover snacks with everyone, and then went to the study to read the letter.

Gu Junchen wrote back: My king allows you.

Hahaha... Li Luo leaned on the chair and looked at the letter with a smile.The character of King Qi is quite interesting. He looks very cold, but he is actually very gentle.

Gu Junchen...

Li Luo closed his eyes and rested, but his mind couldn't be free. He thought about the details of coming to ancient times. The past four months have not been easy.The Hou's Mansion is not down and out, but the Hou's Mansion without a hero, anyone can step on it.He has lived in the center of the pyramid since he was a child, so he doesn't have to worry about anything.When he came here, he first lived in that poor village. He was ready to take the imperial examination to support his family, but unexpectedly, there was a secret in his life experience.

That family was poor, but that shrewd and petty old lady really loved him and gave him the best.

When I came to the capital, I listened to Li Xu's story along the way. Li Xu is a hero. He has his own lofty aspirations. He sacrificed himself for the country and the king. Such a person deserves Li Luo's respect, and his children are also worthy of Li Luo's respect. to protect.After all, he was the one who occupied the original owner's body, and Li Luo will always remember this kindness.

I thought that by hugging the emperor and King Qi's thighs tightly and being cute, life would be fine.Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhao Ning was a cheater and married him to Gu Junchen.

Li Luo opened his eyes, a subtle light flashed in his eyes, Gu Junchen... Thinking about it, the corners of Li Luo's mouth curled up, feeling very happy.He likes Gu Junchen's appearance very much, and his character, Li Luo also thinks he is very loving. The only thing that is not good is his identity. With such an embarrassing identity, he will be in danger if any son of Emperor Ning succeeds to the throne in the future.

Unless... Gu Junchen succeeds to the throne, or becomes an idle prince.
