Chapter 175

"The servant has already prepared it, please take a look!" Guanshi Xia laughed.

"Oh?" Mu Zhixu glanced at him with a half-smile, so self-conscious, is it because he is confident in his own methods, or does he think she is easy to fool?
Mu Zhixu suddenly looked forward to seeing the ledger and deed.

A thick stack of ledgers was placed on the table in Mu Zhixu's hand, and the corners of her mouth suddenly curved.

"I'll take the ledger and the contract back to read, and I'll come back tomorrow. Manager Xia is a smart person, so he shouldn't follow in the footsteps of others, right?" Mu Zhixu's eyes fluttered, and he suddenly spoke.

Manager Xia was stunned for a moment, he thought she was planning to come at this time, just to catch everyone by surprise.

But now it's all here, and they went back with only the ledger. What does this mean?
Before Guanshi Xia could think too much, Mu Zhixu left with Mingyan and Tingzhu Shiran.

Manager Xia with deep eyes was left behind.

"Girl, are we going back like this?" Ting Zhu asked suspiciously in the carriage.

Mu Zhixu curled the corners of his mouth, his eyes were so deep that no one could see what was going on in her heart, "Compared to the manager who was sold out, this manager Xia is the real smart person. It will definitely be done in a watertight way, and we won't be able to find out anything."

Manager Xia is very respectful to her this time, she has no excuses for having a fit.

Mu Zhixu actually likes such smart people.

"Then let it go like this?" Ting Zhu didn't understand.

"Silly girl, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. If Guan Xia's affairs are not so excessive, and they are all within my acceptable range, then that's fine, but it depends on his ability." Mu Zhixu has a lot of meaning. She doesn't care about the matter, as long as the steward can put herself in the right position in the future.

"Anyway, girl, I have a small heart. Once you are unfaithful, you won't use it a hundred times. Everyone has only one chance."

After saying this, listening to Zhu and the Mingyan who drove the car outside, they were thoughtful, and their hearts were very clear.

The girl is usually easy to talk, but she can't rub the sand in her eyes.

Back in the house, Ting Zhu went to prepare food, while Mu Zhixu looked at the account book and deed.

There are also registered ledgers.

She took a closer look, and found that there were quite a few people in the village, and the difference from the original deed of prostitution was actually quite large.

After all, after some slaves got married, they gave birth to children. The sky is far away from the emperor here, and no one renews the contract of sale for them. Many children live in such a vague way.

These days, slaves are much better than black households.

The same is true of the other Zhuangzi, but there is a mess over there, and nothing can be seen at all.

On this day, Wei Qingsong's affairs were very heavy.

Guessing that he will be busy all day without sleep, Mu Zhixu rubbed his sore eyes.

After dinner, when she and Mingyan Tingzhu saw Zizi all the time, they finally figured it out.

Manager Xia is really smart, and there are indeed problems with the ledger, but they are all trivial matters.

within the controllable range.

That is to say, judging from the books, Manager Xia is a slave with a bottom line, well, that's not bad either.

But it must be worthy of the name, she yawned, "you two go to rest."

"Yes." Mingyan folded his hands and retreated, Tingzhu went to fetch water for Mu Zhixu to wash before leaving.

Logically, she should rest in the outside room, but Mu Zhixu was not used to being guarded when sleeping at night, so he asked the maids around him not to abide by this rule.

Although she slept late at night, Mu Zhixu got up at dawn, and Mingyan and Tingzhu were the only ones who were earlier than her.

Tingzhu had prepared the water for washing, and after Mu Zhixu cleansed his face, he ate a hot breakfast.

The japonica rice porridge simmered over low heat, the fragrant fried buns, sprinkled with black sesame seeds, has a tangy aroma, and two pan-fried poached eggs, served with a bowl of steaming pimple soup, makes the whole body comfortable .

It is suitable to eat this kind of winter morning, how comfortable.

Mingyan took Tingzhu to go out. The weather was not good today and it was raining. Mingyan was wearing a thick cotton coat with a coir raincoat wrapped around it.

With a bamboo hat, I can't get wet.

Last night, she already knew from Mingyan that all the people who were sent to Yahang yesterday were accepted by the people of Wuzhong. There were more than 30 of them, and they were sold for more than 200 taels of silver.

It is estimated that Wei Qingsong will be able to count the family members of these more than 30 people today, and she does not plan to keep the family members.

To avoid future troubles!

By the way, there is also the son in charge who has not shown up so far, which is also a hidden danger.

As a human being, Mu Zhixu is used to not leaving hidden dangers for himself.

When they arrived at Huangzhuang, Guanshi Xia came after hearing the news, and led them in with a smile, his face even more respectful.

After thinking about it all night, he knew better how to treat the new master of Zhuangzi, and from now on, he will also be his new master.

Mu Zhixu also saw the change in the steward's eyes.

She remained calm, but in fact she was a little happy in her heart. She still liked dealing with smart people.

Sitting down in the living room, Mu Zhixu got straight to the point, "The affairs of the Zhuangzi should be managed by Xia Guanshi."

As soon as these words came out, Guanshi Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

"But in the future, Zhuangzi will have to follow my request, whether it's planting or other things."

"Yes, I understand." Guanshi Xia also vaguely understood, it seems that the Zhuangzi gave Mu Zhixu because of her new crops?

Since he was able to win the favor of the Holy One, he naturally had his reasons.

In any case, he would not treat himself badly.

"The output on the Zhuangzi is sent directly to the Mu family in Xiushui Village, Rong County. I live there. Everyone on the Zhuangzi is registered, but some people have no household registration..." Mu Zhixu looked at several people in the hall. personal.

Seeing that everyone has become more careful, she said, "You are slaves now, and so are your family members."

When she finished speaking, seeing that everyone was not dissatisfied, she continued, "Of course, if there are people who have made great contributions, I don't mind releasing everyone as slaves."

Everyone raised their heads suddenly upon hearing the words, and their breathing became short of breath.

Even Guanshi Xia was a little unbelievable, he frowned subconsciously, thinking that this could not be some kind of malicious attention, right?

But it shouldn't be, they are slaves, or new slaves...

Mu Zhixu took everyone's expressions into his eyes, "Just keep in mind what I said. I have read the account book and deed. There is no big problem, but this way of keeping accounts is too cumbersome. Listen to Zhu, You stay and teach the bookkeepers."

After a moment's pause, he said again, "I'll go to the Zhuangzi next door first, and come back later. The manager asked the maid to clean up the room. I'm going to stay tonight."

Going back yesterday was a buffer time for the steward, today she will stay and deal with things thoroughly before leaving.

Such a big house is not for the people of Zhuangzi, they live in rows of brick houses, and the house is for the master.

The maid is also in case of emergency.

Mu Zhixu left with Mingyan, but Tingzhu stayed without any discomfort.
