Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 1713: Forming an Alliance (19 More)
Hu Shijie was wronged this time, as can be seen from his silhouette.

In the Forbidden City, everyone in the Forbidden City used to be in awe of the "King Hu Yan". Now he is wearing a Gebu arrow suit and a black belt with a white jade hook around his waist. He is squatting by the lake, his whole body is full of loneliness.

Wanxi glanced at Yuye, and Yuye hurriedly coughed from a distance as a notification to the other party.

The palace doesn't like to shout "Master So-and-so is here" if they don't understand, but they mostly use clapping and coughing sounds to inform each other without speaking.

As soon as he heard a woman's cough, Hu Shijie knew that the head of the inner court had arrived, so he got up quickly, and when he saw that it was Wanxi, he stepped forward in three steps and knelt down in two steps.

Therefore, Wanxi skipped those sad words and didn't mention them, instead she joked first, "Is Manager Hu fishing?"

Hu Shijie threw his hands away in embarrassment, "Master is joking, what this servant is holding is a willow stick."

Wanxi raised her eyes and looked at the fields in Xinghua Village, "Boss Hu has been squatting here for a long time, if I take an exam with Boss Hu now, I think Boss Hu won't disappoint me - this Xinghua Village How many acres of land do you have? How much melons and vegetables can you produce, and how much money can you sell for?"

Hu Shijie was also taken aback by the question.I thought Wanxi was taking the school exam on purpose. He just came to Yuanmingyuan, did he understand the food in Yuanmingyuan?

Hu Shijie calmed down and answered calmly: "Xinghuachun Pavilion covers an area of ​​33 mu, the building occupies three mu, and the remaining land is 25 mu. The vegetable garden should be cultivated at least [-] mu."

"This garden was set up for the emperor to experience farming. The fruits and vegetables in the garden have never been estimated for money, so it is not good for the slave to return to the master directly at this moment. It is just based on the land. The slave used to be in the Jingming Garden on Yuquan Mountain. Instead, they set up an account. There are twelve acres of land in Jingming Garden, and rice fields, vegetables, fruits, etc. are produced, and they can be sold for about 20 taels of silver a year."

Wanxi nodded, "20 taels, although not much, but if it gets older, it will be a lot."

Wanxi asked the reeds by the back lake again, how much they can produce every year, and how much silver they can get.Although Hu Shijie didn't make a budget, but with his flexible mind, he was able to come up with numbers that Wanxi could compare.

Wanxi clapped her hands, "Calculated in this way, the property and land rent of the nine small islands by the lake behind us alone amount to 500 taels of silver every year."

Only then did Hu Shijie realize that something was wrong, so he knelt down and asked.

Wanxi deliberately lowered her voice, "... Hu Shijie, it's better to come early than to come at a good time. It just so happens that you also moved to the garden. Then what I just said, I count on your help."

Hu Shijie also opened his mouth wide in shock, "...Master Ling, do you need a silver envoy?"

In fact, it's not just the imperial concubine, who in the palace is not short of envoys?If you count on that idea for a year, you will always be able to make ends meet after a year.

Wanxi sighed softly, "When Zhao Guobao died, there was a sum of money that could not be proved. Although the emperor doesn't care about it, I still can't let go of this shortfall in my heart, so I want to try to make money out of this money."

Zhao Guobao died at the hands of Hu Shijie. How could Hu Shijie not know, so he lowered his head sadly, "All slaves deserve to die."

Wan Xi chuckled, "Don't say you deserve to die. You should be alive. If you still don't let go of this matter, then help me, let's try to earn that money back, and make yourself feel more comfortable. "

Hu Shijie frowned, "It's four or five hundred taels a year. Wouldn't it take more than ten years to make up for that shortfall?"

Wanxi thought for a while, "No, I have other ways. After all, you earn the first year's money for me first, and I have my own way to make money."
