Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1403: 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 master Hou, 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 an ordinary son could have, so he said nothing. Just stay a bit polite!

When Li Zexuan saw this young man, he knew that it should be the young man recruited by his father and mother. He said that the area of ​​this mansion is five or six times that of the original mansion in Chang'an. To manage such a big home, it is sure to 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!"

Li Zexuan hadn't spoken yet, and Liu Feng behind him couldn't help but laugh.

He is also looking at this little servant's polite speech, so there is no evil talk.

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

The young man is not a fool. He doesn't think anyone would dare to pretend to be a prince in front of the Hou Mansion. After all, there are Li Zexuan's parents and many former servants of the Li Mansion in Chang'an City. Too! If someone pretends to be Li Zexuan here, wouldn't they be exposed immediately?

Yes, 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: "Hou Lord, forgive me, the young one is a newcomer soon. If you don’t know the real body of Lord Hou, you deserve death for a small crime~!"

Li Zexuan doesn't care about arguing with a servant in his house. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay! It's not guilty that you don't know, and there is nothing wrong with you. What's 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 called Wang Baile, I rank ninth at home, everyone is called Wang Jiu! Lord Hou, you can call me like that in the future!"

Li Zexuan nodded, then patted Wang Bole on the shoulder, and said, "Yeah! Bole, work hard! Don't think that being a concierge means nothing for a lifetime. This concierge is very knowledgeable. The concierge can now 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 concierges of the Li Mansion. Now one is helping Li Zexuan mine in Shu and the other is assisting 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 all day, and they are envious of others!

But this just envied the maids in the mansion, the family members still envied Sambo and Ah Fu!

Listening to what Li Zexuan said, Wang Baile's heart was about to jump out. He felt that his blood was already burning, so he bowed excitedly and said: "Thank you, Lord Hou, for the little ones. Do it, become a useful person to Master Hou like Brother Sambo!"

Li Zexuan nodded, and walked in without saying anything!

"Xuan'er, just for the mother, I heard that the guard at the house stopped you?"

Xinhou Mansion has a larger floor area and more luxurious interiors. Rockery pools, pavilions, and pavilions complement each other. Now it is the midsummer season. The mansion’s gardens are beautiful with flowers and lush forests. After a round of turnover, 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 house. They don't know me. That's normal. I'll get to know you a few times!"

Li Zexuan heard this and said quickly.

By the way, I went back to my own house, but was stopped by my subordinates. If this spread out, I would probably be laughed off.

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 business affairs on weekdays. The new mansion has been built for so long. You don't come back to see it. The new mansion is several times larger than the previous one. Naturally, you need more. People, 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 naturally understandable that you live nearby and take care of it. As long as you can take the time to come back and take a look! My ambition is to benefit 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 mother, he couldn't bear to watch the old man guarding this huge but empty mansion all the time. 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. Come back and live! The Yunshan Courtyard is just a temporary small building!"

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 Both the drought and the land ruffians attracted by the explosive growth of merchants in the city need him to come forward to solve them. The people under him do not have this courage, so it is a pretty good choice to sit in the city and command and dispatch in the center!

Ms. 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 do the new recruits of the mansion buy it from? Is it reliable?"

As the saying goes, the heart of harm is indispensable, and the heart of defensiveness is indispensable. Li Zexuan has no intention of harm, but for so many newcomers, he has to guard against it. After all, he has a special status now. There will be people with ulterior motives mixing into it, and there are too many secrets in Li Mansion that outsiders want to know!

Ms. Li replied after hearing the words: "These servants naturally bought them from Jamaica. The servants sent by other people's houses naturally dare not use them for their mothers. These servants are all clean, and they all passed through your father. If you crossed your eyes with your grandfather, they looked at people's eyes, Xuan'er, you should always believe it?"

It's not just Li Zexuan who knows to watch out for his servants? 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 conduct will not be tempted!

Hearing this, Li Zexuan nodded quickly and said: "Since Dad and grandfather are self-checking, the child is naturally relieved!"

Papa Li and Ye Guozhong are both people who have experienced the vicissitudes of life, and their eyesight is naturally extremely accurate. In the past, Li Jingmo's servants were personally selected by Li Jingmo, although the appearance of bean sprouts has uncovered several of them. A "traitor", but there are a total of one or two hundred maidservants in the mansion, but only a few traitors have appeared, which is enough to show that Li Jingmo's eyesight is extremely accurate~!

Li Jingmo snorted "toldly", as if saying, "I count you as acquaintance"!

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

Mrs. Li smiled and asked again.

Li Zexuan pondered for a moment and replied: "Mother! After the Yunshan side's affairs are processed, the child will move back to live with his parents!"

"Haha! Instead of this, your kid should give your mother a big fat grandson as soon as possible, so that your mother will not be bored and talk about you every day!"

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

As soon as this statement came out, Mrs. Ye couldn't help but echo: "Haha! That's right! Xiaoxuan, my grandmother also hopes to see my great grandson in her lifetime~!"

Even though Mrs. Li didn't speak, the eager look in her eyes revealed the thoughts in her heart. Obviously, she did think so too.

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?

"Cough cough! Dad, mother, grandmother, Yuxi and I are still young, and Yuxi is also weak. For a woman, giving birth is a very detrimental thing, waiting for her to be raised. Written a little bit strong, let's talk about fertility~!"

Listening to what Li Zexuan said, Mrs. Li frowned slightly, but she was not good to persuade. After all, she is also a woman. Knowing that giving birth to a woman is like walking through a ghost gate, before giving birth. , It should be good health and nourish the body!

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

"Then when you move back to live, my mother will make you and Yuxi make good food every day, so you can make up for it!"

No matter how thick-skinned Li Zexuan is, he couldn't help but feel 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. Heh heh, 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 child, is still shy? The mother is right! Having a child is not a matter of one person, it is reasonable 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. The notice was posted at various key intersections inside and outside the county. The villagers were ordered to report the number of civil servants recruited before dark tomorrow. For the county government, from the next day onwards, the work of repairing the canal will officially start. 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 lunch meal every day. Stuffed!

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!

So, 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!

Now that 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 infrequent?

So, the people who saw the notice, men and women, young and old, flocked to the homes of Lizheng and asked to sign up for the county 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. 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 still continue to be dry?"

"Yeah! Yeah! Zhong Lizheng! Our Yujiazhuang's terrain is so much higher than the Bahe River. Instead of repairing the aqueduct, we might as well continue to carry water and irrigate the ground! We can rescue a little field, Just save 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 is the repair of the canal, I can't go to the old man!"

Yujiazhuang, in the courtyard of Zhonglizheng’s home, there are many farmers gathered, and the farmers are talking about it. In short, everyone is 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 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 common people respected Yu Dejing, a scholar, and soon became quiet.

When Yu Dejing sees it~IndoMTL.com~, she 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 the land in Yujiazhuang can also be nourished by the water of Bahe River!

This announcement is from Lantian County's county government. Such a huge project is certainly not a decision made by the county magistrate alone. 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 Bahe can flow to Yujiazhuang, but don't you still believe in Hou's? Whether you believe it or not, I, Yu Dejing, definitely believe in Lord Hou! "
