Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 224;

Chapter 220: Enlarging the Workshop
"Lang Jun, if we expand a few more workshops, it will not be enough for our more than 20 people."

"It's okay, you don't have to worry, just take them to work,
The newly opened workshop, I want your son to be one of the stewards, and Tie Dan to be one of the stewards. You have to be optimistic about these three workshops. "

When Liu Zheng heard that his eldest son could be a big manager, the life of the family would be better in the future, so he thought about it when he frowned;

"Report to the Lord, the Lord is not in the mansion recently, the villain can only report to Manager Li,

Erlang, the villain, has been here to help for more than ten days. His hands are not as good as the big ones, but he is also on par with Tie Dan. "

"That's good, I just want to open a few more workshops, but no one will take care of them. Since your youngest son has also learned from you, then open three more workshops.

Tomorrow, I will ask someone to vacate the yards next door, and start preparing. "

As long as there are people working, Li Yu can't wait to make [-] catties of liquor a day, and try to get as much as possible before the aristocratic family comes.

After explaining the matter clearly and checking the inventory, Li Yu turned around and went back to the backyard.

"Hey, Tie Dan, if you don't go to work, what are you doing with me?"

Li Yu found that Tie Dan followed him directly out of the workshop, so he stood in the yard and asked.

"Report to my lord, the villain has something to say."

"Oh, go ahead and listen."

"Yes, just now, Mr. Cai said that he will increase his manpower to brew liquor. The villain is afraid that the owner will find those outsiders, so I want to say a few words that should not be said.
"Then do you think they should all come to our mansion?"

"Yes, there are [-] families in our mansion who have children, and there are a total of [-] families with surnames. Each of these [-] families has three clan elders who are in charge.
Now that the population is prosperous, there are thousands of children in the family alone, and the owner of the family does not need to find outsiders to learn how to brew wine, so that outsiders can avoid stealing and revealing the secret method. "

"Li Yi, what this iron egg said is not unreasonable, he is quite loyal."

Li Yu turned his head and said to Ergou who was following him.

"That's what Tie Dan said, and it's also the villain's heart. Although the people in the five villages have followed us for many years,

But the villain still thinks that we have children from the Li family in Longxi, which is the most reliable. They are all loyal, and they will definitely not ruin the family head's affairs. "

Tie Dan saw that the Patriarch didn't care, so he continued to persuade;
"Report to Patriarch, although outsiders will be loyal, after all, they will not be like our own mansion, who are so determined,

And we have to divide the wages between them. If we all use our own family to have children, how can there be so much trouble?
It's better to find some strong ones in our family to have children, so as to prevent the secret method from being leaked. "

"This secret method of brewing wine, whether it is leaked or not has anything to do with physical strength. This is a question of people's hearts."

Li Yu felt that the logic of this iron egg's speech was wrong.

"Patriarch, what the villain said is well-founded, just like the nine stewards who fired bricks in the Houzhuang. Although they were loyal, they were too old to be easily tossed about by villains.

A while ago, when the Patriarch was in Chang'an City, the gangsters who came over easily subdued them.

If it was a strong one, how could this happen, so the villain felt that it was better for young people to do this wine making job. "

"Bad people? What kind of bad people? Five of us are like iron buckets, and there are still bad people who dare to come?"

The more Li Yu listened, the more confused he became.

"Patriarch, the thing is like this, the Patriarch just came back from Chang'an today, and the Chief Steward is at Xiaoxian Zun's place to help resettle the new home, so it's too late to report.

For a while, people from the Qinghe Cui family have been coming to make trouble, trying to get the owner's secret method of cement production.

The first two times, they were beaten away by the night patrol soldiers arranged by Uncle Liu, but this third time, many people came from the other party.

He secretly went to the Zhuangzi at the back, tied up two burnt brick elders, and interrogated them in the middle of the night by the river.

The two old men were very strict and didn't utter a word. After tossing until dawn, the group of people left.

The farmer who went down the river to build the embankment went out to work, only to see the two people tied up in the field, and they were rescued.

Now he is still recovering from his injuries at home, and he is already old, so this torment is enough.

The villain went to see it on behalf of the mansion, and estimated that it would be difficult to live for another two or three years. After that, the old man would become the seventh old man after burning bricks. "

Er Gou said while shaking his head regretfully.

Li Yu's eyes were narrowed tightly, and he said with a fake smile;
"Is there such a thing? I really don't change my nature. Why does this surname Cui disagree with me.

In the city of Chang’an before, there was a person surnamed Cui who bullied my maidservant, and here he appeared again, bullying my steward...

hum!It's really interesting, Guanshi Li, you lead the way, let's go to the Zhuangzi at the back and see how the old people of the two families are hurting.

In terms of emotion and reason, you should take care of it, Tie Dan, you should also call it a day, it is time to grow your body, don't be so determined to work until midnight. "

The second steward, Li Yi, took two servants and followed the Patriarch to the front yard of the mansion.

"It just so happens that they are emptying the money bank. Go and get a few bolts of cloth and ten silver coins. You can't see the wounded with empty hands."

"Yes, the villain will go now, the owner will wait a moment."

The sky in the twelfth lunar month was already very dark, but when Li Yu arrived at Zhuangzi behind, it was already completely dark.

Li Yi was worried, so he ordered more than a dozen servants in the mansion to follow him.

Li was accompanied by a group of people, knocking on the old door of a dilapidated house.

"Lang Jun, I've seen you, hurry up and invite me inside,"

The one who opened the door was the oldest son of Zhang Chengfeng, who was the oldest son of Shaozhuan, and warmly welcomed a group of people into the main hall.

"Where are you Aye?"

"Go back to my lord, Aye is recuperating in the back room."

"Take me there."

"Yes."

"Aye, Aye, my lord is here to see you."

Li Yu looked at the house with its bare walls, the dim oil lamps were flickering on and off, casting figures on the dirt walls, swaying and swaying.

Lying on the couch was an old man Li Yu was familiar with, the high spirited man he used to be was no longer there, leaving only a faint breath lingering, proving that he was still alive.

Li Yu couldn't help but think of the scene where the old man directed everyone to burn bricks and pull cement,

I used to be full of energy, and I was full of expectations for living in a red brick and big tile house in the future. I had endless strength for a better life in the future, and now...

The sleepy old man was awakened by his son's calling, and slowly opened his old and firm eyes, and Yixi could still see the former style...

"Lang Jun? Has Lang Jun returned to Zhuangzi?

Da Lang, if you haven't brought Mr. Lang a wooden seat to sit down on, when will you wait? "

Although the old man was injured, his voice was still as loud as before.

The obedient son turned around and walked out.

"My father-in-law, don't panic, I just sit on the couch."

Li Yu sat down by the couch while talking.

"How does this make the old man's bed very unclean..."

Li Yu grabbed the old man's hand and stopped him from continuing,

"Bring over the lantern."

"promise."

Chunlan and Qiuxiang, who were on duty, quickly brought the two lanterns closer to the bed.

"These are the injuries of that gangster?"

With tears in his eyes, Li Yu pretended to be indifferent.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, the two old brothers didn't say a word even when they were killed. Our cement secret method has never been revealed."

The old man on the couch struggled to sit up, saying that he was beaten to death without saying a word, full of a tough posture, even though he was old, he was still majestic...

Li Yu choked up and asked;

"Why is my father-in-law so stubborn? It doesn't matter if I give it to them, at least I won't suffer from it."

"What are you talking about, Mr. Lang, when the steward found me and the other nine people, the first thing he said was, what Mr. Wang wants is someone who is prudent in his work and strict in tone.

The old man also swore an oath, brought it into the coffin, and didn't tell others, how could he spoil Mr. Lang's great affairs just because he suffered less.

The secret method of our Li Family Manor must not be stolen by others, even if the old man is killed, he will not utter a single word.

They bully me as an old man, but they don't know the rules of our Li Family Village, even if they beat me to death, the Lord will come back to avenge me, so the old man is not afraid of them. "

"The rules of the Li family village have never been broken, and it will be the same this time, my father-in-law will take care of himself, and don't worry about other things.

Manager Li put down the silver and left half of the cloth.

Li Yi thought about it, it was agreed in the mansion just now, two old men, one family of five, why should this family all stay,
Guessing that the head of the family is only talking, he is afraid that he has forgotten that there is another family that has not gone, so he kindly came to remind him;
"Patriarch, this ten is to see two families, and the next family has not gone..."

Before he could explain a word clearly, Li Yu let out angrily;
"Get out!"

Li Yi has never seen such an appearance of the Patriarch, how can he bear it?

In a panic, he ran out, bumping his head against the wall of the inner room, and didn't dare to cry out the pain, so he covered his head and hurried out.

Seeing two servants put ten strings of silver coins in the corner, the old man who never begged for mercy when he was beaten, instantly shed two lines of old tears.

Zhang Chengfeng has never been greedy for money in his life, nor has he accumulated so much money in his life.
What moved me tonight was not the amount of money, but this young gentleman, who never forgot about him, an expired and useless old guy.

Li Yu held back his tears, raised his hand to wipe away the old man's dirty tears, and forced a smile on his face;

"Everyone says getting old and getting younger, isn't that what my father-in-law is? How come he's still like this when he's old."

"Now that I am old, I can no longer be sent by your lord. I am afraid that this money from your lord will be lost."

"Then this business has suffered a lot."

After saying a word, everyone, old and young, burst into laughter.

"So that my father-in-law will know that the construction will start when spring begins, and the front village will be finished in less than half a year. A certain family decided to start from this back village first.

Therefore, the father-in-law has to fight for his breath, so that he can recuperate, and he will move into a new house in the future and live in it for a few years.

Mr. Ben, there are still many means to be used in the future. In the days to come,

The five Zhuangzi in my Li family are all rich, and they all have to live in big red brick houses.

Doesn't the father-in-law want to live in a house built with red bricks, cement and built by himself? "

Li Yu knows that human beings rely on willpower to support their lives. As long as they have faith, they can fight even serious illnesses. He wants to give the old man the faith to persevere...

Sure enough, after listening to the scene described by Li Yu, Zhang Chengfeng's eyes lit up, as if he came back to life, and he was no longer lifeless.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, I won't die. You must see with your own eyes how powerful Mr. Lang's methods are."

"My father-in-law wants to rest, so I want to go to the house that suffered with you, so I won't sit any longer, and I will leave."

"Lang Jun, go slowly, Da Lang, send Lang Jun to the old Wangtou's house, it's getting dark, I can't see the road clearly, you know the road well, remind me."

"It's Aye, you are resting, and I'm going to see you off."

Zhang Chengfeng is very satisfied with his son. Although he came from a poor background and a small family, but this son is kind-hearted and very filial, serving him with shit and urine.

The son's woman also asks about her health every day. Although the family is not rich, they are happy and harmonious.

Li Yu, who was about to leave, looked at the middle-aged man who was respectful to the old man, and asked;
"My lord has something important to ask, I don't know how hard you may be,
And this time the secret method is more important than cement, if you are also kidnapped in the future,
Will you be as strong as you, Aye, who won't say a word when you are killed? "

Before the person being asked could answer, the old man on the bed hastily stretched his neck to interject;

"Lang Jun, please forgive me, old man, it sounds uncomfortable. Since ancient times, I have been a hero and a hero, and my son of Zhang Chengfeng will never be a coward, a coward,

Dalang, what are you still doing, why don't you hurry up and salute the gentleman,

Immediately there will be a fortune, fall on your head, you idiot, I am really anxious to kill the old man. "

The woman behind the man also quickly pushed him,
The surprise came too fast, and Zhang Xiangchen realized that Mr. Lang wanted to arrange a position in charge for himself.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I, Zhang Xiangchen, will try my best, but I won't ask anyone to say, cement secret method.

And villains can endure hardships. I have worked with Aye for several months, and I am very familiar with those jobs. "

"It's good to be able to endure hardships, but you don't need to burn those red bricks and cement. There are more important things that I have to tell you. From tomorrow onwards, you can go to the mansion to work."

"Yes."

Watching a large group of people leave, Zhang Chengfeng was full of energy. The beating was really not in vain, and what he got in return was that the eldest son was valued by the gentleman.

The woman in the room asked with concern;
"Aye, I've been sitting for a long time today, why don't you lie down and rest."

"No, the old man is in a good mood today, it's okay to sit for a while,

You keep the silver money for a long time, it is considered as the old man gave you, and the other ones are divided into two shares and distributed to Erlang Saburo behind.

You don't want to say that I am partial, you man, you will never be short of money in this life, but Erlang Saburo, who knows how to farm, the old man has to think more about it. "

The honest eldest daughter-in-law replied softly;

"Aye is the head of the family, so it makes sense how to distribute it, and my son won't earn it. What kind of temper is my son, Aye, don't you know?"

"Aye, according to the rules handed down from our Li Family Village, almost all positions in charge are inherited by the eldest son of Nagato,

My man is Aye's eldest son, so he should inherit Aye's job in the brick yard.
Why is he going to work in the mansion again? Aye is experienced, so he can see the details. "

"Son, how did you know that the brick yard is worse than going to the mansion.

Since what is to be done in the mansion must be of the utmost importance, you are a blessed one, you have endured all these years and it was not in vain, finally waiting for your man to gain momentum. "

An honest country woman, she also smiled sweetly after hearing her father-in-law say that her man is about to become a man, and she will be blessed to enjoy it in the future...
