"Hey, hey, stop! This is Yong'an Hou's Mansion, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter without authorization! If you want to find my Hou Ye, please go to Yunshan!"
The county seat of Lantian County, Yonganfang, in front of Houfu Gate.
Just when Li Zexuan lifted his foot to enter the mansion gate, a servant suddenly appeared next to the porch, blocking the way.
The servant is also very discerning. He saw that although Li Zexuan's clothes were not extremely luxurious, the extraordinary temperament on his body was obviously not something that an ordinary son of a family could have, so he kept his words. Kind of!
When Li Zexuan saw this little servant, he knew that it should be a newly recruited servant by his father and mother. Speaking of which, the area of this Hou mansion is five or six times that of the original mansion in Chang'an City. One of the family's family must have to recruit more servants.
"Haha! You little servant, as a servant of the Hou Mansion, don't you know your own Lord Hou? You really don't know the true God face to face!"
Before Li Zexuan could speak, Liu Feng, who was behind him, couldn't help but laughed.
He also saw that this little servant was more polite in his words, so he didn't speak ill of him.
"Ah? You...you are Lord Hou!"
That little servant is not stupid. He didn't think anyone would dare to pretend to be a prince of the dynasty in front of the Hou's Mansion. After all, Li Zexuan's parents and many servants of Li's Mansion in Chang'an City still live in this mansion! If someone pretended to be Li Zexuan here, wouldn't it be revealed immediately?
Therefore, after listening to Liu Feng's words, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and was very panicked, so he hurriedly bowed to Li Zexuan and said: "Master Hou, forgive me, I'm a newcomer, I don't know Hou. The real body of the Lord, small sins deserve ten thousand deaths~!"
Li Zexuan doesn't care about a servant in his house, he waved his hand and said, "It's fine! It's just the so-called ignorant person is not guilty, and there's nothing wrong with you just now, by the way, what's your name? "
Seeing that Li Zexuan was not angry, the young servant couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He heard the words and got up and said, "Master Hou, my name is Wang Baile, I'm the ninth in the house, and everyone calls me Wang Jiu! You can call me that!"
Li Zexuan nodded, then patted Wang Baile's shoulder, and said, "Well! Baile, do your best! Don't think that being a concierge means that you will be useless in your life. This concierge is very knowledgeable. All of them can help Ben Hou stand on his own, and they are your role models!"
Li Zexuan was talking about Sanbao and Ah Fu. The two were originally just the concierge of Li's house. Now, one is helping Li Zexuan open a mine in Shu, and the other is assisting Fu Bo in the workshop.
Ahem, but now Hou's servants should be most envied by Xiao He and Xiao Xi. After all, although these two are servants, they can serve Li Zexuan all day long, and they are envious of others!
But this is only the envy of the maids in the house, the householders are still envious of Sanbao and Ah Fu!
Hearing what Li Zexuan said, Wang Baile's heart was about to jump out. He felt that all the blood in his body was already on fire, but he bowed excitedly and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your suggestion, Xiaoxiao will definitely work hard. Become someone who is useful to Lord Hou like Brother Sanbao and Brother Afu!"
Li Zexuan nodded and walked in without saying anything more!

"Xuan'er, just now for my mother, I heard that the servant at the gate of the mansion stopped you?"
The Xinhou Mansion covers a larger area and has more luxurious interiors. Among them, the rockery pools, pavilions and pavilions complement each other. Now it is the midsummer season. The gardens in the mansion are full of flowers and lush trees. After the circle, Li Zexuan accompanied the elders in the family while drinking fairy tea under the pavilion in the garden, while chatting gossip, Mrs. Li couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.
"Mother, how can you worry about this trivial matter? There are a lot of new servants in the house. They don't know me, so that's normal. After a few times, they'll know me!"
Li Zexuan was embarrassed when he heard the words, and said quickly.
It was said that when he returned to his home, he was stopped by his servants. If it were spread out, he would probably be laughed at.
Mrs. Li glanced at her son angrily and said with a smile:
"You! I'm embarrassed to say it? It's not that you are busy with official business on weekdays. The new mansion has been built for so long, and you don't come back to see it. The new mansion is several times more expensive than the previous mansion, so naturally you need more servants. Who can blame those new servants who don't know you now?"
"My mother taught me that my son will definitely come back to live here more in the future!"
Li Zexuan said quickly.
Mrs. Li shook her head and said, "Wei Niang didn't mean to force you. Yanhuang Academy is where all your hard work lies. You live next to it and look after it. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with it. As long as you can take time to come back and have a look! Benefiting tens of thousands of people in Lantian County, as a mother, I can't be a stumbling block for you!"
Although Li Zexuan was moved by his mother's reasonableness, he couldn't bear to see the second old man guarding this huge but empty mansion all day long. What's the difference between this and those empty nesters? So he hurriedly said:
"Mother, look at what you said, Yunshan is only a quarter of an hour away from Lantian County. If the baby lives here, you can take care of the Yanhuang Academy. After the recent work is over, the baby and Yuxi will move back!"
He is now not only the mountain chief of Yanhuang Academy, but also the owner of tens of thousands of people in Lantian County. What he has to consider is not only Yanhuang Academy, but also the livelihood of these tens of thousands of people.
For example, the local ruffians attracted by the severe drought and the explosive growth of businessmen in the city all need him to come forward to solve them. The people under him still do not have such courage, so sitting in the city and commanding and dispatching is the long-term solution!
Mrs. Li was pleasantly surprised when she heard the words: "Xuan'er, are you telling the truth?"
Li Zexuan smiled slightly and said, "This is of course true! Oh, by the way, mother, where did all the new recruits in the house come from? Are they reliable?"
As the saying goes, the intention to harm others is indispensable, and the intention to guard against others is indispensable. Li Zexuan has no intention of harming others, but he has to guard against so many new servants. People with ulterior motives are mixed in, there are too many secrets in Li Mansion that outsiders want to know!
Mrs. Li heard the words and replied: "These servants are naturally bought from the Jambank. The servants sent by others are not used by my mother. Don't worry, Xuan'er, these servants are all clean, and they all pass through you. Dad and your grandfather passed eyes, they look at people, you should believe Xuan'er, right?"
Is Li Zexuan the only one who knows to beware of his servants? Mrs. Li and the others naturally know that, after all, the blueprints drawn by Li Zexuan stored in the Li Mansion are worth thousands of dollars if they are placed outside.
Hearing this, Li Zexuan nodded quickly and said, "Since the father and grandfather are the ones who are in charge of themselves, the child will naturally feel relieved!"
Father Li and Ye Guozhong are both people who have experienced the vicissitudes of life, and their eyes are naturally very accurate. In the past, Li Jingmo's servants were also personally selected by Li Jingmo. Although Li Zexuan used bean sprouts as bait before, he found out several of them. "Traitor", but there are a total of one or two hundred servant girls in the mansion, but there are only a few traitors, which is enough to show that Li Jingmo's vision is extremely accurate~!
Li Jingmo snorted "proudly", as if he was saying, "You are a wise boy!"
"Haha! When will you and Yuxi move back in, Xuan'er?"
Mrs. Li smiled and asked again.
Li Zexuan pondered for a moment, then replied: "Mother! It will only take ten days! After finishing the affairs over Yunshan, the child will move back to live with his parents!"
"Haha! Instead of doing this, you kid might as well give your mother a big fat grandson, so that your mother will not be bored and talk about you every day!"
At this time, Father Li, who was sitting beside him, said jokingly.
As soon as this statement came out, Madam Ye couldn't help but agree, "Hehe! That's right! Xiaoxuan, my grandmother also hopes to see my great grandson in her lifetime~!"
Although Mrs. Li didn't speak, the earnest look in her eyes revealed the thoughts in her heart. Obviously, she did think so in her heart.
Li Zexuan blushed suddenly, and secretly said that his father's words are ambiguous, what is it to let me give you a big fat grandson, do I have that ability, me?
"Cough cough! Father, mother, grandmother, Yu Xi and I are still young, and Yu Xi is also weak. For a woman to have a child, it's a big detriment to her strength, and she will be a little stronger when she grows up. Now, let’s talk about fertility again~!”
Listening to Li Zexuan's words, Mrs. Li frowned slightly, but it was not easy to persuade her. After all, she was also a woman. She knew that giving birth to a woman was like walking through a gate of hell. Before giving birth to a child, she should A good life will nourish the body!
After a moment of silence, Mrs. Li smiled and said:
"Then when you move back in, mother will make delicious food for you and Yuxi every day, and let you all make up for it!"
No matter how thick-skinned Li Zexuan was, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard such a sentence coming out of his mother's mouth. He quickly got up and said, "Mother, my son is in good health, he doesn't need any supplements, cough, cough, I still have things to do, so I’ll go back to Yunshan first~! We’ll move back in a few days!”
After all, before Madam Li could react, Li Zexuan hurriedly fled, leaving Madam Li's resentful voice in the air:
"This child is still shy? You're right! It's not a matter of one person to have a child. It's just right that both of you should make up for it!"
…………………………
In the afternoon of that day, the notice of Lantian County government recruiting people to repair the cement ditches was posted at various key intersections inside and outside the county, ordering the villagers to report the number of people recruited to the county before dark tomorrow. Ya, from the day after tomorrow, the project of repairing the canal will be officially launched. Those who participate in the repairing of the canal will not only be exempted from corvée labor for three months, but will also receive five cents a day in wages and a full meal at noon!
Anyone over the age of thirteen and under the age of forty-five, and able-bodied people can sign up!
The news broke the whole county!
This year is especially drier, and the farmland in many places has been dry and cracked. There are various signs that this year will be a year of severe drought! For the ancients, drought meant a decrease in food production, and a decrease in food production meant death, and many, many people had to starve to death!
Therefore, although it is very hard to fetch water and irrigate the land, there are still many people who will go to the river to fetch water bucket after bucket!
Now the county government is willing to organize civilians to repair the canal.
What's more, now not only pays wages, but also manages meals, and can also reduce the corvée for three months. Although the Tang Dynasty has greatly reduced the corvée of the people, this is something that no one thinks is too little, right?
Therefore, people who saw the notice, men, women and children, as long as they were free recently, all flocked to their homes in various Lizheng, requesting to sign up for the county's canal repair project! If there is no age limit of forty-five years, it is estimated that each Zhuangzi has those
Old men and old ladies in their 50s and 60s are all rushing to sign up!
Everyone understands that once the cement ditch is built, it will no longer be necessary to fetch water from the river in buckets in the future, and all the crops in their fields will be saved!
But there are a few villagers whose people are not so enthusiastic, such as Yujia Village in the northernmost part of Lantian County!
"Lizheng, even if this canal has been repaired to our Yujiazhuang, can the water in the Bahe flow over? Will the fields on our Zhuangzi continue to be dry?"
"Yeah! Zhong Lizheng! Our Yujiazhuang is so much higher than the Bahe River. Instead of repairing the canal, we might as well continue to fetch water and irrigate the ground! If we can save a little field, we will save a little! It's better to repair the canal!"
"That's right! That's right! The nutrition bowls in my family haven't been watered yet! I can't go to repair the canals!"
In Yujiazhuang, in the courtyard of Zhonglizheng's house, a lot of farmers gathered, and the farmers were talking about it. In short, everyone was not very enthusiastic about repairing the canal!
"Folks, you all be quiet and listen to me!"
At this moment, Yu Dejing took a notice, walked to the crowd, and shouted loudly.
"It's Yu Xiucai!"
"Yu Xiucai, if you have anything to say, just say it! We are all listening!"
"Yeah! Yu Xiucai, you read a lot, so you can make up your mind for us!"
The people respected Yu Dejing as a scholar very much, so they quickly calmed down.
Seeing this, Yu Dejing said, "Folks, look at this notice, but it clearly states that after the canal is repaired, the water from the Ba River can be guaranteed to irrigate all the farmland in Lantian County. Let the people of Lantian County be spared the suffering of drought! What does this mean? It means that our land in Yujiazhuang can also be nourished by the water of Bahe!
This announcement came from the Lantian County Government Office, such a huge project, certainly not the magistrate He can make a decision alone, and Hou Ye must know about it! But since this notice can be published, what does it mean? It means that this is also the promise of Lord Hou to us. You don't have to believe that the water of Bahe can flow to Yujiazhuang, but don't you still believe that Lord Hou? Believe it or not, I, Yu Dejing, definitely believe in Lord Hou! "
