Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 501;
Chapter five hundred and third; someone escaped
Li Yu sat firmly at the top of the main hall and his head was as motionless as a pine tree. More than 2000 children from Longxi came in one by one to visit the head of the family, and many of them hadn't seen Li Yu for two or three years, so they came in to visit. All the time, I carefully observed the appearance of my Patriarch, in order to recognize the Patriarch more clearly and remember it in my mind.

The elders of each family with their own surnames came forward and introduced that it belonged to our family. Of course Li Yu couldn't remember these things, he felt that they were all human heads, men, women, old and young.

Finally, when it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, I met all the families from Longxi, sent all the parents away, and invited Mrs. Liu to enjoy the lunch together.

"Boss, it's time for lunch, why don't we eat together?"

Old lady Liu looked at Li Yu with a smile;

"In the case of the homeowner, the old woman is old, and the old ones are slow to eat. Besides, there are a lot of children and grandchildren with her, so I don't want to disturb the homeowner to enjoy the lunch. Let's go to the backyard to eat."

"Oh. That's a big deal, please take care of yourself."

The old lady bowed her head;
"Then please leave."

"allow."

"Thank you, Master."

Mrs. Liu stood up with the support of her daughters, and said to the crowd who were about to leave;
"Old Ba, you stay here to serve the head of the family, and we will go back to eat the rest."

Manager Liu was taken aback when he heard that, but he quickly agreed;

"Yes, I respect Auntie's life."

The old lady's daughter and granddaughter all began to leave;

"Chen and concubine retire."

"The slaves retire."

Li Yu also stood up and waved his hands generously;
"allow."

A group of people left with the old lady leaving, only Li Yu and his maid were left in the main hall, and there were also a few servants who were on duty. Maid, come to Li Yu and stand still.

Lady Liu was standing half a step behind Li Yu. This was where Lin Rongniang usually served, and no one else had ever occupied it.

Manager Liu was very embarrassed. Ever since she left her position as the number one manager in the backyard, she never had the opportunity to serve the head of the family.

The old lady is also confused today, she probably forgot that she is no longer in charge, she actually confessed herself to serve the good Patriarch like before, it is extremely depressing!
But when there are so many people, Mrs. Liu is not good at being disobedient and unfilial, so she can only agree with her mouth. It is awkward to stand beside the Patriarch at this moment...

Li Yu didn't pay much attention to it, Lin Rongniang was always serving her in the past, let alone changing her face today is quite new, especially this mature woman, he has even played with her body all night, she is very familiar.

It was like a vast ocean, Li Yu asked anxiously when he saw Li Yi coming in;

"Manager Li, lunch is ready in the kitchen, I'm a little hungry."

"Patriarch, I just came back from looking around there, and everything is ready in the small kitchen, waiting for the Patriarch to call."

"Then what are we going to eat today? Also, sister and brother have to make arrangements."

"For the master of the house, we will eat two meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes today. The meat dishes include roast chicken and braised pork. Vegetarian dishes, green vegetables, and wild vegetables are brought by Manager Liu. He said they are what the head of the house likes to eat."

Li Yi, who changed his name, was used to being called Mrs. Liu since he was a child, and he still couldn't change it after all these years. It's not wrong to call it the big steward who manages the mother-in-law even though she's in charge.

"As for the princess and the young master, they haven't come out today. They are probably still playing in the backyard. The villain will ask the maids to bring the food into the backyard later."

"Well, let's serve then."

"By the way, you send someone to call the steward Ji Da, who manages the household registration, to the mansion. I have something to ask him."

"It's the head of the house."

Li Yi backed out with a promise, ordering his subordinates along the way;
"Go to the personal communication kitchen to serve the food, and I will do the rest. I will go to the steward Ji's house. I have to go there myself."

"only!"

Li Yi and the rest of his subordinates hurried to the gate of Ji Da's house on the east side of Zhuangzili. Before entering, he heard the lively scene inside, and walked into the yard.

The home of the chief steward of the Ji family has been overcrowded in the past few days. Several second stewards and a group of small stewards are registering here every day.

After the Zou family sent a copy, it will be registered here immediately, and people will be sent to check the registered households carefully to understand the population, and to check the family's general information. Temperament, personality, etc., this tossing group of people is very busy.

A group of people are busy, Ji Da steward sits at the head and drinks tea, and the servants come in to report;
"Reporting to the chief steward, Li Yi, the steward of the front yard of the mansion, is here."

Steward Ji, with star-browed Chinese character face and a three-inch beard hanging down his chin, looks majestic and very steady. He heard that someone from the mansion put down his tea bowl;

"Please."

"only!"

Not long after, Li Yi came down to the main hall under the guidance of his servants, and after taking a look at the busy people, Li Yi went straight up to meet him;
"My son sees the eldest uncle, and the eldest uncle is well."

"My son is free."

"Thank you, Uncle."

"I remember that you just finished your rest yesterday, and you should be on duty in the mansion today. Why did you come to my place to hang out?"

"Back to uncle, Mr. Lang asked uncle to go ahead and ask questions."

"Oh? Well, let me go with you and report to the patriarch what happened in the past two days."

Steward Ji Da stood up quickly and explained to everyone before leaving;
"I'll go to the front to report the affairs. If you wait for the daytime meal, you can eat and drink as much as you want, and you won't be able to finish it in a while. You can eat and work with peace of mind."

"Yes."

"Thank you for your concern."

Steward Ji has never talked much, and Li Yi has been a little afraid of this majestic uncle since he was a child, so the two of them went directly to the side hall in the front yard without saying a word, and after being allowed to enter, Li Yi left directly, and Steward Ji Go into the hall alone.

Li Yu had just started to eat, and Mrs. Liu next to her was filling rice for Li Yu, and the steward Ji waited for Li Yu to swallow the food in his mouth before speaking;
"Meet the patriarch, the patriarch is blessed."

"No courtesy, no courtesy, come! Show the seat to Steward Ji."

"promise."

The two maids who were waiting on the side came out in response, carried a grand master's chair and placed it on the opposite side of Li Yu's dining table, and steward Ji bent over;

"The villain dare not, just stand up and answer."

Li Yu raised his head and glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him. He was in his early fifties, with a straight face. Although he was dressed in satin, he was very clean, without fancy embroidery or hidden flowers, standing straight.

"Sit down and talk. You are also a person in charge of one side and a person of status. It doesn't look good to always talk standing up. Just sit down."

"Yes, thank you Patriarch for your seat."

"You don't need to thank me, I'm not a stranger."

Li Yu twisted his neck, as if he felt sleepy after sitting for a long time today, Lady Liu's personal maid immediately took a step from both sides, preventing other maids from coming to beat the back and shoulders of the Patriarch, Tanchun Yingchun, who was on duty today, faced each other After a glance, they all stopped in unison.

Lady Liu quietly raised her jade-like onion fingers and pinched Li Yu's sleepy shoulders gently, and Li Yu also relaxed his nerves.

"The Chief Steward was invited to come to the mansion today to inquire about something. These days I was only concerned with other matters, and I haven't had time to inquire clearly. Let's open the door of household registration. How is everyone's reaction? The Chief Steward can pick up the important ones and talk about it." .”

Steward Ji sat down for more than half of his buttocks, nodded and answered;

"Yes, to report to the patriarch, there were seven farm households who fled the night the patriarch announced that they would enter our Li family's household registration. Hand it over to the Lin family, and the patriarch can rest assured that they will all be captured within ten days."

When talking about these escaped refugees, Manager Ji seemed very unhappy. He has always pursued perfection in his work, and he is meticulous in any errands. Therefore, in accordance with the rules of Li's Second Household, Steward Ji notified the matter to the Lin Family of the Li Family's Second Household Guards for disposal immediately.

Li Yu frowned and asked;

"When did it happen? Did the Lin family send someone out?"

Steward Ji's face was dark and his tone was very bad;

"As for the head of the Hui family, I followed our Li family's rules, signed the letter and signed it with the imprint of my Lin family's second-bedroom household registration, and sent it to my old Aye, the head of the Ji family.

Then I, Aye, went directly to the Ninth Elder of the Lin family. The Ninth Elder was very angry when he received my report letter at 36:[-] yesterday. Go out and make a catch.

On the one hand, the Ninth Elder reported the matter to the head of the Lin family, and on the other hand, he also recorded the matter in the Lin family's affairs book, and I also notified Li Zhong, the chief steward of the front yard of the mansion, to record the matter in our Li's family affairs. "

After Mr. Ji explained the matter clearly, he looked at the head of his family frowning, and immediately comforted him;

"Don't worry, the patriarch, the seven white-eyed wolves are nothing more than the seven white-eyed wolves. I believe that the Lin family will be able to capture all these white-eyed wolves within half a month. At that time, according to our Li family's clan rules, all the old and young will be killed by the clansmen. In front of them, they have to pay the price for committing crimes, this is their own death, no wonder which one! Hmph!"

Li Yu suddenly said something;
"There is nothing wrong with the Li family rules. The problem is that he is not in our Li family registration. How did you beat him to death?"

"This……"

Li Yu thought about it carefully before saying;
"There's no need for this or that. It's useless to catch them back. If you want to leave, you can't stop them. Mrs. Li doesn't need this kind of people. Let them go."

Manager Ji Da heard that he just let those families go like this, and answered very unwillingly;
"But the patriarch, they took our Li family's selling money and signed the contract. Let them run away now. Where is our Li family's face? This kind of treachery should be arrested and beaten. The canon punishment of death is..."

Li Yu put down the bowl and chopsticks and waved his hands before Ji Daji's words were finished;
"After Aye should have given the money and food, he arranged for household registration. Those with household registration who violated the family rules can be dealt with according to the family rules. This incident will be a lesson in the future. When refugees are taken in, they will pay the money with one hand Household registration, those who violate family rules and family laws, just follow the rules."

Steward Ji nodded helplessly;

"It's the patriarch."

Li Yu stood up and walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back;

"The world is like this. When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. There are those who know how to repay their kindness, and there are also those who repay their kindness, and there are also those who recognize a thief as their father. In short, there are everyone. If everyone behaves well, the court wants the law. What? What do the major families want family rules and family laws for?
It is precisely because people in the world do not have self-discipline that they need family rules and family laws, and court laws to constrain them. This is also a question I have thought about. If I become an official in the future, I must pay attention to court laws and rule the people by law.

I always think that the legalist thinking is correct and will never be outdated. Without laws, the people are like tigers out of the cage, which can hurt others and themselves, so the most urgent thing is not to arrest people, let alone catch them and kill them. , the most important thing now is to help the Zou family's elders, stewards, and support them as soon as possible.

The family rules and family laws of the Li family must be taught to them as soon as possible to the Zou surnamed family members. They must all be able to memorize them and be familiar with them. Once they know how to recite the family rules and family laws, they will naturally know what will happen if they break them.

Management is very important. Today and tomorrow, you should put the household registration in place as soon as possible, as well as the family law and family regulations. It is really impossible for the family to help the Zou family with nineteen surnames. One family to one family, one family to another, I still don't believe it, but those 20 or so are things that fools can remember as long as they teach them a few more times.

After a while, I will arrange for someone to explain, all the children in the family should not stand and watch the jokes, but help them one-on-one, one day!I only give you one day, and let go of all other things. After one day, I want everyone in the family with the surname Zou to memorize it by heart. There is no excuse for any reason. If you can’t remember it, you won’t be given food until you remember it. "

Steward Ji is not afraid of work, but this work seems a bit difficult, so he couldn't help asking;

"Report to the patriarch, some young people may not be easy to teach, the patriarch has learned from it."

Li Yu, who turned around again, sat in the upper chair of the Grand Master;
"Women who are 15 years old and hair-tired, and 15-year-olds with curly hair, use this as the standard. Remember the words when you reach this age. Don't waste your energy if you are dissatisfied. Their Aye Niang will teach them in the future."

"It's the patriarch. If this age group is used as the division, then one day is enough. Our family has children with nineteen surnames. It only takes half a day to teach them one-on-one."

Li Yu thought for a while and asked again;
"How is their household registration going?"

"As for the head of the Hui clan, I looked at the book I brought and reckoned that it would be over tomorrow."

"Well, that's good. I have one more thing to tell you. The surname Zou has just become a surname. They currently have too few elders who have come out to take care of their families. The elders at your household registration office have finished handling the household registration matters and go to help them. .

One is to review the affairs of their elders, and the other is to tell their elders that in the future, we can't make them act like headless chickens, arrange everything as soon as possible, and then wait for the clansmen from Longxi to move. We still have a lot of things to do to do. "

"It's the patriarch. Don't worry, the patriarch. Apart from being in charge of household registration and family rules and family laws, our surname Ji is really not too busy. We should help them more. It should be almost done in three to five days, and the patriarch's affairs will not be delayed. of."

"That's great, but we can't delay too much. The millet seedlings have already sprouted, so many fields need to be watered, and the sheds need to be closed to raise the temperature. The crops need people to take care of them, so we can't waste all of them on messy things.

Speaking of these fields, their previous land was granted by the imperial court. Now that they have entered the Li family's household registration, the imperial court's land property will naturally be taken back. Fortunately, I reported this to the Supreme, and the Supreme allowed us to pay Money will settle these matters. Uncle Changsun has already explained it. We only need to count the population of Uncle Ding, and then send someone to explain it to the household department. When Uncle Liu goes to Chang’an City to collect money, we will directly deduct the corresponding money. Just count. "

"Patriarch, when the new imperial court distributed us those land properties, there were all kinds of land in A, B, C, and D, and they were recorded in detail by the field stewards. If you want to figure it out again, don't be miscalculated by the people in the household department. gone?"

"What are you afraid of? The meat is rotten in the pot. Don't always think about taking advantage of the court. You have to learn to be disadvantaged. Being disadvantaged is a blessing.
Remember that the more losses you suffer, the better, and you can't do anything to take advantage of it. You can't be wrong if you listen to me, and you will know it slowly in the future..."
