into the night.
There are lights everywhere in the mansion.
Gu Chensha was sitting on the grand master's chair, Xiao Yizi was standing beside him, servants were standing everywhere, some were standing under the eaves, some were standing by the corridor, some were cutting wicks with scissors, and some were cleaning the courtyard , they were all silent, each with their own ghosts, secretly looking at the two people in the main room.
"Master, this is the list. There used to be five hundred people in the entire mansion." Xiao Yizi put it on the list.
"Five hundred people, so many?" Gu Chensha frowned: "I checked this mansion and the surrounding fertile orchards, and it can only support two hundred people at most."
"That's right, my master's eyes are like torches." Xiao Yizi said: "The original housekeeper of this manor used public services for personal gain and raised a lot of idlers. All the seven aunts and eight aunts were stuffed in it. In fact, the mansion is already empty, and there is no savings at all. In addition, there are tens of thousands of foreign debts. I have called everyone to give a lecture, dismissed 400 people, and left 100 honest people, and gradually replaced them with my own people. "
"Yes, that's what you want to do. Is there anyone who refuses to accept and make trouble?" Gu Chensha knows that running a family is like running a country, so he must not take it lightly.
"Who dares, the king's law is strict. If it was before, they would dare to be disrespectful to the Lord, but the Lord has been appreciated by the emperor, and he is still ignorant of current affairs. He can only die. Bullying the Lord with a slave is a serious crime. We can directly execute him in the mansion. There is cruelty in Xiao Yizi's tone: "But the old man Xia who is in charge of our manor is difficult to deal with. He was directly sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"You can handle this matter freely. I would rather have no one to do it than have outsiders infiltrate it." Gu Chensha said.
"It's only natural, my lord. In a few days, we will hold a big banquet. After all, the opening of the mansion is a big event. Officials, even princes and nobles will send congratulatory gifts according to the etiquette. It is detrimental to the majesty." Xiao Yizi counted with his fingers: "In addition, the Lord has fifty armored soldiers, and he has to recruit and pay the army himself. This is also a lot of money. Our Duke's mansion Everything is inseparable from money. Although the emperor bestowed 300,000 yuan, I think it will be used up in a year. The first thing to do right now is to increase income and reduce expenditure. My father has the support of his mother family like other princes. "
For other princes, the mother clan is powerful, and even at birth, the mother clan began to build power for him, and built the mansion early. Luozhi talents, such as the eighteenth prince Gu Hongsha, did not live in the rewarded mansion at all, but built it himself. With thousands of servants, masters like clouds, and money like flowing water, such a power can naturally run across the government and the opposition, and do things with ease.
But Gu Chensha can only work hard.
"Yes, money is needed everywhere, but I have a way to get money, so you don't have to worry about that." Gu Chensha thought, at this time, he could kill the tiger wolf, refine the tiger wolf pill and sell it through secret channels.
Hulangdan is the ancient Qidan. Once it appears in the world, it will definitely attract the favor of countless people, and of course it will also cause trouble. If Gu Chensha was an ordinary person, he would have great scruples, but he is a prince. Above, but not afraid of being investigated, as long as the emperor does not deal with him, no one can deal with him from the national law level.
If a tiger wolf pill is really sold, it may be worth tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. As long as a few hundred pieces are sold, the financial crisis can be completely resolved.
"Master, can you sell the elixir that I take?" Xiao Yizi said, "But how to explain the origin of the elixir to others?"
"It's okay, let's just say that I accidentally got a jar of elixirs left over from ancient times, who dares to check me?" Gu Chensha remained calm.
"Indeed, if ordinary wealthy households get such pills, they can only donate them to the imperial court. Otherwise, they will destroy their families, but the identity of the master doesn't matter." Xiao Yizi felt relieved: "But the master has been too popular recently, I think If you want to be silent for a while, you will have to sell the elixir to someone who is reliable, if it is collected by other princes, it will be tantamount to being an enemy."
"Yes, I already have a buyer." Gu Chensha said.
"Long Yuyun?" Xiao Yizi knew it all.
"Xiao Yizi, it seems that you have really achieved success through experience. Long Yuyun is a good channel, but I actually want to sell it to the Lou family. Father intends to let Lou Baiyue get close to me, so I naturally have to rely on the Lou family. power." Gu Chensha smiled: "Of course, the Lou family is unfathomable, so we have to guard against it."
"That's natural. The Lou family has always been hostile to the Lord. This time the Tiger Wolf Pill was sold to the Lou family. They couldn't bear the temptation, so they had to swallow it. Once they swallowed it, the strength of the Lou family would definitely double. Now the Lou family is already The building is in the middle of the dynasty, if it expands again, the merits will be high, and the end will be miserable!" Xiao Yizi sneered: "The Lou worshiped the moon and bewitched the ten princes to beat the Lord, this account has to be settled, besides, the Lou family If something happens, I can think of a way to take over the power of the Lou family, and then I can plan big things."
"Then there's no need to be so scheming." Gu Chensha glanced at Xiao Yizi differently, he didn't expect this kid to have such deep thoughts, "It's just that the heart of defense is indispensable, and the heart of harming others is indispensable."
"Master is upright, bright and bright, these dark little things and sins are all done by the little one." Xiao Yizi remained calm.
"Hey..." Gu Chensha sighed, "You let Old Man Xia, the manager of the manor, come to see me."
An old man stood in front of Gu Chensha.
Wearing brocade clothes, wearing a hat, inlaid with a piece of jade the size of a thumb, half of the jade piece is emerald green, and the other half is the color of flames, and there is a jade wrench in his hand, but it is pure white in color. Holy Light, the leather boots on his feet are exquisite, even inlaid with gems.
"Cold and warm jade?" Gu Chensha recognized it. The half emerald green and half flame jade is a rare cold and warm jade. After wearing it, it can absorb the heat in summer and release it in winter, and it can absorb cold air in winter and release it in summer. Not only is it beneficial to the human body, but it can also make the exercise more effective.
That jade ring finger is also vaguely a treasure, and it is very valuable.
The steward of a small manor is actually so rich.
The outfits on and off the body are worth at least three to fifty thousand.
Tianfu's dynasty covers all over the world, it is very rich, folk luxury is gradually rising, it is not uncommon for rich people to dress up like this, but right now this old man is the manager of the manor, according to avoid suspicion, he should be more simple, now he is not shy, That is to be confident and have a huge backing.
"The villain Xia Huang has seen Lord Nineteen." Seeing Gu Chensha, the old man bowed slightly but did not kneel down.
"Bold, don't kneel down!" Xiao Yizi shouted.
"No problem." Gu Chensha stopped Xiao Yizi from moving forward, "Xia Huang, are you the steward of my manor?"
"Yes, the villain manages hundreds of acres of orchards around this mansion, and there are thousands of acres of fertile land to maintain the expenses and repairs of this mansion." Xia Huang said: "This mansion originally belonged to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Your Majesty Given it to Lord Nineteen, I will naturally take care of the family property for Lord Nineteen in the future."
"So that's how it is." Gu Chensha said calmly, "Then let me ask you, why is there no money in the mansion's accounts? Instead, there are foreign debts? How do you manage your business?"
"Master Nineteen is not in charge of the family, and he doesn't know the difficulty of being in charge. This mansion is so big, and the expenses of the upper and lower personnel are quite a lot, and it needs to be repaired frequently to prevent it from decaying over time. The income of a few fruit groves and a few fields is simply not enough, so Can't make ends meet." Xia Huang didn't rush.
"Xia Huang, I know that you are rich in private pockets, now I will give you a choice, spit out the property you swallowed, get out of bed obediently, and you can even spare your life." Xiao Yizi snorted coldly.
"Why did Mr. Yi say such a thing?" Xia Huang wasn't surprised at all: "Although a villain is humble, he can't be framed casually. Lord Nineteen is clearly aware."
"Really?" Xiao Yizi sneered, and brought out a half-dead man covered in blood from behind: "This is the accountant. After my torture, everything was recruited. He also brought out many account books, all of which are in my Here. As long as I hand it over to the clan's mansion, you will not only confiscate the house, but also exile the whole family to the border to do coolies and build the Great Wall of Giant Stones. You have made up your mind."
The accountant was splashed with water by Xiao Yizi, and he came to his senses, "Master Xia, I can't help it, I was beaten to death..."
"Now there are all the witnesses and material evidence, Xia Huang, what do you have to say? I don't want too much, I want you to hand over the money embezzled over the years, a total of 200,000, and I will not make things difficult for you." Xiao Yizi is here Host, Gu Chensha just watched.
"Master Nineteen, don't go too far." Xia Huang's eyes became sharper: "I belong to Prince Fan, and the entire House of Internal Affairs is also managed by Prince Fan. If you move me, you are against Prince Fan. I think we should not offend the river. Lord Nineteen, I will continue to manage this mansion, so how about you being the Duke of Dust with peace of mind?"
"Third brother's person?"
Prince Vatican is the third oldest Vatican.
Controlling the entire House of Internal Affairs, the veteran prince stepped into the Dao Realm early on, commanded the army, fought against the barbarians at the border, and held real power in his hands. Fan Ruhai, the Minister in charge of the House of Internal Affairs, is his cousin.
Although Gu Chensha has been valued by the emperor for the time being, his foundation is still shallow, far from being able to compare with the four princes among the princes, which is why Xia Huang doesn't care at all.
Gu Chensha stood up, walked slowly to Xia Huang's side, and suddenly shot, slapped like lightning.
Snapped!
Xia Huang was slapped on the face, his whole body was sent flying, hit the pillar of the palace and rolled down again, howling in pain.
"What are you, you use the third brother to suppress me?" Gu Chensha sneered: "Your martial arts are good, and you can get slapped in the face without fainting, Xiao Yizi, tie him up, and then inform his family, Said to hand over all the embezzled money to redeem people, if not, I will use the means of dealing with domestic slaves, chop off his limbs and throw him out."
"Yes." Xiao Yizi dragged Xia Huang out, stripped off all the gems on his body, and after tying him up, he came back and replied: "Master, did we offend the third master by doing this? That's not good." provoke."
"This is impossible. If you don't get rid of this thorn, the family business will not be rectified. If the family can't be cured, no matter how big things are done, leaving this summer famine will mean that there will be more house thieves. There will be no day or night defense." No, everything we do will spread to other people’s ears on the same day.” Gu Chensha understood in his heart: “If you pull out this nail, things will be easy to handle. Of course, there are not a few nails in this mansion. Let’s pull out one by one and replace them with other nails. Trustworthy people, I will leave it to you to find reliable people. These days, I will practice in seclusion and make great strides forward."
Everything is false, only strength is true.
If Gu Chensha reaches the Dao Realm, then everyone will give him three points of face.
