Chapter 1425: Don't you still believe in Lord Hou? (Thanks to Hans’ Wan...

"Hey hey, stop! This is Yong'an Houfu, ordinary people are not allowed to

enter without authorization! If you are looking for my Houye, please go to

Yunshan!"

Lantian County, Yonganfang, in front of Houfu Gate.

Just when Li Zexuan raised his foot to enter the mansion gate, a small servant

suddenly appeared next to the porch and blocked him.

The young man is also a visionary. He saw that although Li Zexuan's clothes

were not extremely luxurious, but the extraordinary temperament on his body

was obviously not what ordinary people could have, so he was left in the

words. Kind of polite!

When Li Zexuan saw this young man, he knew that it should be the young man

recruited by his father and mother. In other words, the area of this mansion

is five or six times the size of the original mansion in Chang'an. He wants to

take care of it. One of the homes must hire 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 in person!"

Before Li Zexuan spoke, Liu Feng behind him couldn't help but laugh.

He was also based on the politeness of the young man's words, so he didn't say

anything against him.

"Ah? You...you are Lord Hou!"

That little servant is not a stupid person. He doesn't think anyone would dare

to pretend to be a prince in front of the Hou Mansion. After all, there are

still Li Zexuan's parents and many former servants of the Li Mansion in

Chang'an City! If someone pretends to be Li Zexuan here, wouldn't they

immediately reveal their stuff?

Therefore, after listening to Liu Feng's words, he couldn't help his eyes

widening, and he was very frightened. He hurriedly bowed to Li Zexuan and

said, "Master Hou, forgive me. The young man is a newcomer not long ago. Yeah,

small crimes deserve death~!"

Li Zexuan doesn't know how to care about with a servant in his own house. He

waved his hand and said, "It's okay! It is said that the person who does not

know is not guilty, and there is nothing wrong with you. What is your name?"

The young man saw that Li Zexuan was not angry, he couldn't help but breathe a

sigh of relief. He heard this and stood up and said, "Master Hou, the younger

one is named Wang Baile. I rank ninth at home. Everyone is called My Wangjiu!

Lord Hou, you You can call me that again in the future!"

Li Zexuan nodded, then patted Wang Bole on the shoulder, and said, "Well!

Bole, do it! Don’t think that being a concierge is a lifeless life. This

concierge is very knowledgeable. The two former concierges of the Hou Mansion,

now They can all help Benhou to stand alone. They are your role models!"

Li Zexuan was talking about the Three Treasures and Ah Fu. The two were

originally the concierge of the Li Mansion. Now one is helping Li Zexuan mine

in Shudi, and the other is helping Fu Bo in the workshop. They are a role

model for the entire Li Mansion!

Ahem, but now the people in the Hou Mansion are the most envious of Xiao He

and Xiao Xi, after all, although these two are also subordinates, they can

wait by Li Zexuan's side all day, and they are envious of others!

But this is only the envy of the maids in the mansion, the family members

still envy the Sambo and Ah Fu!

Hearing what Li Zexuan said, Wang Baile's heart was about to jump out. He felt

that his whole body was already burning, so he bowed with excitement, "Thank

you, Lord Hou, for the little ones. A person like Brother Sambo who is useful

to Lord Hou!"

Li Zexuan nodded, and walked in without saying anything!

...............

"Xuan'er, just for the mother heard that the servant at the house stopped

you?"

Xinhou Mansion has a larger area and more luxurious interiors. Rockery pools,

pavilions and pavilions complement each other. Now it is the midsummer season.

The gardens in the mansion are beautiful with flowers and lush forests. I

walked around the house. After the circle, Li Zexuan accompanied the elders in

the garden while tasting fairy tea under the pavilion in the garden, while

chattering about gossip, Mrs. Li couldn't help but smile.

"Mother, how can you care about this trivial matter? There are a lot of

newcomers in this mansion. They don't know me. That's normal. I'll know each

other a few times!"

Li Zexuan was embarrassed upon hearing the words, and said quickly.

It was said that he returned to his own home, but was stopped by his own

subordinates. If this spread out, it would have been laughed off by people.

Mrs. Li glanced at her son angrily, and said with a smile:

"You! I'm ashamed to say? It's not that you are busy with official duties on

weekdays. The new mansion has been built for so long, and you don't come back

to see it. The new mansion has been beaten several times than the previous

one. Naturally, more people are needed. Those newcomers don’t know you now,

who can be blamed?"

"My mother taught that my son will definitely live here more in the future!"

Li Zexuan quickly said.

Mrs. Li shook her head and said: "Wei Niang didn't mean to force you. Yanhuang

Academy is where all your efforts are made. It is understandable that you live

next to and take care of it. As long as you can find time to come back and

take a look, it will be done! For the benefit of tens of thousands of people

in Lantian County, I, a mother, can't be your stumbling block!"

Although Li Zexuan was touched by the reasonableness of his wife, he couldn't

bear to watch the two elders guarding this huge but empty mansion all day

long. How is this different from those empty nest elderly? So he hurriedly

said:

"Mother, look at what you said, Yunshan is only two or three quarters of an

hour away from Lantian County. If the child lives here, he can also look after

Yanhuang Academy. When the work is finished recently, the child and Yuxi will

move back to live! Just treat it as a temporary small building over the

Yunshan Courtyard!"

He is now not only the head 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, such as this time The land ruffians attracted by the drought and the

explosive growth of merchants in the city all need him to come forward to

solve them. The people under him do not have this courage, so it is a very

good choice to sit in the city and control and dispatch in the middle!

Mrs. Li was pleasantly surprised: "Xuan'er, are you telling the truth?"

Li Zexuan smiled slightly and said, "This is naturally true! Oh, yes, mother,

where did the new recruits of the mansion buy it from? Is it reliable?"

Li Zexuan has no intention of harming others, but he has to guard against so

many newcomers. After all, he has a special status now, and it is impossible

to guarantee that there will be some People with ulterior motives mixed in,

there are too many secrets in Li Mansion that outsiders want to know!

Mrs. Li replied: "These servants naturally bought them from Jamaica. The

servants sent from other people's homes naturally dare not use them. These

servants have a clean foundation, and they all passed through your father and

your grandfather. After passing the glance, they see people's eyes, Xuan'er,

you should always believe it, right?"

Isn't it only Li Zexuan who knows to watch out for his servant? Naturally,

Mrs. Li and the others know that, after all, the drawings drawn by Li Zexuan

stored in the Li Mansion are worth a lot of money if they are placed outside.

It is hard to guarantee that those with bad behavior will not be tempted!

Hearing this, Li Zexuan nodded quickly and said, "Since my father and

grandparents are self-checking, the child is naturally relieved!"

Both Papa Li and Ye Guozhong have experienced the vicissitudes of life, and

their vision is naturally extremely accurate. In the past, Li Jingmo's

subordinates were personally selected by Li Jingmo, although the appearance of

bean sprouts uncovered several "traitors" "But there are a total of one or two

hundred maidservants in the mansion, but only a few traitors have appeared.

This is enough to show that Li Jingmo's eyesight is extremely accurate~!

Li Jingmo snorted "tenderly", as if saying, "I think you are acquainted"!

"Hehe! When will Xuan'er, you and Yuxi move back?"

Mrs. Li smiled and asked again.

Li Zexuan pondered for a moment, and then replied: "Mother! After finishing

the affairs on Yunshan side, the child will move back to live with his

parents!"

"Haha! Instead of this, your kid might as well give your mother a big fat

grandson, so your mother won't be bored and talk about you every day!"

At this moment, Father Li, who was sitting aside, joked.

As soon as this remark came out, Mrs. Ye couldn't help but echo: "Haha! That's

right, that's right! Xiaoxuan, grandmother also hopes to see my great grandson

in her lifetime~!"

Although Mrs. Li didn't speak, the eager look in her eyes revealed the

thoughts in her heart. Obviously, she did think so in her heart.

Li Zexuan's face immediately blushed, and he secretly said that his father's

words are ambiguous, what is meant by letting me give you a fat grandson, do I

have that function?

"Ahem! Dad, mother, and grandmother, Yuxi and I are still young, and Yuxi is

also weak in body. This childbirth is a very detrimental thing to a woman.

Waiting for her to be a little stronger, write it down. Now let’s talk about

fertility~!"

Hearing what Li Zexuan said, Mrs. Li frowned slightly, but she couldn’t

persuade her. After all, she was also a woman. Knowing that giving birth to a

woman is like walking through a ghost gate. Before giving birth, she should

Good health will nourish the body!

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Li smiled and said:

"Then when you move back to live, my mother will cook you and Yu Xi every day,

so you can make up for it!"

No matter how thick-skinned Li Zexuan was, he couldn't help being embarrassed

when he heard such a sentence from his old mother's mouth. He quickly got up

and said, "Mother, my son is in good health. I don't need any supplements. My

child still has things to do, so I will return to Yunshan first~! We will move

back to live in a few days!"

After all, without waiting for Mrs. Li to react, Li Zexuan hurriedly fled,

leaving Mrs. Li's anger in the air:

"This kid is still shy? The mother is right! Having a child is not a matter of

one person. It is justified that two people should make up for it!"

...............

In the afternoon of the same day, Lantian County's county office recruited

civil servants to renovate the canal and a notice was posted at various key

intersections inside and outside the county, ordering all villagers to report

the number of civil servants recruited to the county government before dark

tomorrow. , From the day after, the work of repairing the canal will be

officially launched. Anyone who participates in the repair of the canal will

not only be exempted from three months of corvee, but also get five cents of

wages and a full meal every day!

Moreover, people over thirteen and under forty-five and in good health can

sign up!

The news broke out and the whole county shook!

This year is particularly rainless. Farmland in many places has been dry and

cracked. There are signs that this year will be a year of severe drought! For

the ancients, drought meant reduced food production, and reduced food

production meant death, and many people would starve to death!

Therefore, although it is very hard to carry water and irrigate the ground,

there are still many people who will go to the river to carry bucket after

bucket of water!

Nowadays, the county government is willing to organize civil servants to

repair the canals. Even if the people don't need wages, they are still 10,000

happy!

What's more, now not only pays wages, but also takes care of food, and can

also reduce three months of corvee. Although Datang has greatly reduced the

corvee of the people since the founding of the country, no one thinks that

this thing is too small.

Therefore, people who saw the notice, whether men, women, young or old,

flocked to the homes of Lizheng and asked to sign up for the county's water

canal repair project! If it weren't for a 45-year-old age limit, it is

estimated that every old lady in the 50s and 60s on Zhuangzi would have to

rush to sign up!

Everyone understands that once this canal is built, there will be no need to

carry buckets of water from the river in the future, and all the crops in

their fields will be saved!

But there are a few people in Zhuangzi who are not so enthusiastic, such as

Yujiazhuang in the northernmost part of Lantian County!

"Lizheng, even if this canal has been repaired to our Yujiazhuang, can the

water in the Bahe River flow over? Will the fields on our Zhuangzi continue to

be dry?"

"Yeah! Yeah! Zhong Lizheng! The terrain of our Yujiazhuang is so much higher

than that of the Bahe River. Instead of repairing the canal, we might as well

continue to carry water and irrigate the ground! If we can rescue a little

field, we can rescue a little bit. It's better than repairing the canal!"

"That's right! That's right! The nutrient bowls in my home have not been

watered yet! This repair canal, I can't go there anymore!"

In Yujiazhuang, in the courtyard of Zhonglizheng's home, many farmers

gathered, and the farmers were talking about it. In short, everyone was not

very enthusiastic about repairing the canal!

"Guys, you are all quiet, listen to me!"

At this moment, Yu Dejing took a notice, walked to the crowd, and shouted

aloud.

"It's Yu Xiucai!"

"Yu Xiucai, if you have anything you want to say, just say it! We are all

listening!"

"Yes! Yu Xiucai, you read a lot of books, so you just make up your mind for

us!"

The people respected Yu Dejing, a scholar, and soon became quiet.

When Yu Dejing saw this, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com opened the mouth and

said: "Guys, look at this notice, but it says clearly and plainly that after

the canal is repaired, the water from the Bahe River can be irrigated. All the

farmland in Lantian County has spared all the people of Lantian County from

drought! What does this mean? It means that our land in Yujiazhuang can also

be nourished by the water of the Bahe River!

This report shows that the county government of Lantian County, for such a

huge project, it is certainly not possible for the magistrate He to make a

decision alone, and Lord Hou must also know! But since this notice can be

released, what does it mean? It shows that this is also Hou's guarantee to us.

You don't believe that the water from the Bahe River can flow to Yujiazhuang,

but don't you still believe in Hou's? Believe it or not, I, Yu Dejing,

definitely believe in Lord Hou! "
