Chapter 175 The Marquis Mansion’s Wealth Astonishing (3)
Li Li continued: "These old masters have earned 190 million taels, 300 taels of silver after excluding the cost and supporting the people in the north. There are also twelve cities such as Chang'an, Luoyang, and Qingcheng. There are twelve houses, 37 shops, 270 acres of land, and 270 nine pieces of antique calligraphy and paintings."

Qu Shi, Li Laoshi, and Li Qubing were dumbfounded.

Li Yunqing knew it from Li Li's tone beforehand, so she wasn't that shocked.

He Shi was shocked in his heart, and after thinking about it, he understood.

Her father-in-law is a genius, and he is also very proficient in business. With He Dong's support and a powerful information network, his business has more information than ordinary businessmen.

She knew that the most valuable things were not millions of taels of silver and land, but 37 shops and nearly [-] pieces of antique calligraphy and paintings that could continuously produce money.

"Zhu Niang, the total amount of money I have sent you over the years is only a few thousand taels. I am afraid that there will be too much money at home and thieves will peep." Li Bing said softly with guilt on his face, "You have suffered."

Qu was very pleasantly surprised and asked, "Our family has 270 mu of land?"

"That's right." Li Bing nodded and said, "The land I earned over the years and the land bestowed by His Majesty total more than [-] mu."

Qu's eyes worshiped, and he said excitedly: "Bingge, you are really capable."

Li Bing was praised by his wife, he smiled, and went to beat his grandchildren, but he was surprised but did not lose his composure.

Li Li presented the account book to Qu Shi with both hands, and said respectfully: "Old lady, please have a look."

Qu Shi happily took the ledger, suddenly thought of being illiterate, her face flushed with shame and she bowed her head.

Li Bing asked softly: "Zhu Niang, do you think we can hand over the account book to Yiniang, and let her be the housekeeper in the future?"

"Okay." Qu Shi nodded, and immediately handed the ledger to He Shi who was sitting next to him, and said, "Sister Yi, you just need to worry about it."

"Mother, you are welcome, this is my job." He quickly got up and took the account book with both hands, with a solemn expression.

She is the eldest daughter-in-law of Li Bing, the current owner of the Hou Mansion, and the biological mother of Li Yunqing, the successor owner of the Hou Mansion. She has been authorized by Li Bing and Qu Shi, and the housekeeper is justified.

Qu's eyes were concerned, and said: "I'm tired of looking at my sister-in-law's housekeeper. When you become a housekeeper, don't get tired like her. Don't get up so early in the morning."

The He family smiled and said: "Mother, our family has a simpler population than the Qin family. We have no relatives in our family, so we should be more manageable."

Qu nodded and said: "That's the truth. But our family just arrived in Tanzhou, and we are not familiar with the place, so it must be difficult to manage at the beginning."

She is illiterate, but she understands human affairs. She gets along very well with every family in Qujia Village, and rarely quarrels with others.

She knew that there were hundreds of officials in the mansion today, and the wives of these officials would definitely come to the mansion in the future, and these human affairs would take a lot of effort.

Mrs. He said softly: "Don't worry about this mother, my sister gave me a pamphlet today, which describes the situation of the rich and powerful families in Tanzhou."

Qu said happily: "My sister-in-law really has a heart."

Li Bing looked around at his children and grandchildren and asked, "Ms. Jing gave 10,000+ taels of silver to the family. I decide to give her a house, [-] acres of land, and four shops in Chang'an. What do you think?"

Li Laoshi, Li Qubing, and Li Yunqing all replied immediately: "It's all up to father (grandpa) to decide."

Li Bing was satisfied, and said to Li honestly: "Changsheng, you have been working as a tent in Guanli for nearly ten years. The house is idle."

Li Laoshi showed joy, nodded and said: "Thank you, Daddy."

Li Bing's gaze fell on Li Qubing, who looked the most like him, and asked, "Qubing, your current status is the founding marquis of the third rank, and you already have an honor. Do you want to go to the examination for merit?"

Li Qubing stood up and replied, "Father, I have always wanted to take part in the scientific examination and get a Jinshi."

Li Bing said slowly: "You have this ambition, and your mother and I are very pleased. You have not experienced setbacks at a young age, and you have successfully been admitted to Tanzhou Academy, and you have not suffered hardships, and you have won the title. You must keep your heart , Don’t be fooled by wealth, be pushed around by villains, and have undue thoughts.”

Li Qubing nodded and said, "My child will always remember what Daddy said."

He stayed in the other courtyard of the Qin State Mansion for a few months and learned a lot about the Qin family.Qin Yue is the second son of the direct line, so he cannot inherit the Duke's honor and the Duke's mansion.

He is the second son, and his status and situation in the Li family is the same as that of Qin Yue in the Qin family.

He is much luckier than Qin Yue.He was conferred the honor of Li Bing as the founding marquis of Cong Sanpin, and this title can be hereditary to his descendants.

He is already quite satisfied, how could he think otherwise.

Li Bing said earnestly and earnestly: "Study is the most taboo to become a nerd by reading dead books. In the future, when you get married, you will set up another mansion. You should learn how to support a family earlier."

Li Qubing nodded repeatedly.

His elder brother Li Laoshi went to work in Guanli when he was ten years old, and later he was promoted to a tent, and all the money he earned was given to his mother to support the family.

His eldest nephew Li Yunqing went to Guanli to work as a handyman when he was eight years old, and suffered a lot from watching people's faces.He has been living a comfortable life at home.

Before he entered the clan school, he wanted to go to Guanli many times to work as a handyman to earn money to support his family, but his mother refused to agree.

Li Bing said slowly: "I gave Jingniang 5000 mu of land and [-] households of military slaves. If you have a salary from the imperial court, I will give you [-] mu of land, [-] households of military slaves, and [-] taels of silver. I will give you the moon silver."

In the Ding Dynasty, there were titles, salaries, and food towns, but they were often false titles.The main economic rights and interests of the titles and honors are to obtain Yongye land by virtue of the title.

The salary of civil servants is lower than that of military officials.From the third grade, the founding marquis was a virtual civil servant with no real power. His salary was 65 taels of silver per month, and his annual income of 360 shi was grain.

One stone in the Ding Dynasty is one hundred catties, and 360 stones are thirty-six thousand catties.A catty of rice costs four copper coins, and a catty of noodles costs two copper coins.

In addition, the founding marquis should also have permanent land that can be left to future generations.

Li Laoshi and Li Qubing are now the founding princes, with a monthly salary of 65 taels of silver, 360 shi of grain per year, and no permanent land. In the past, they were enough to support their families, but they could not live a life of luxury.

Li Bing gave Li Qubing land, people, and capital, so that he could learn how to make money as soon as possible, so that he could be independent as soon as possible after getting married.

Li Qubing showed joy, bowed and said, "Thank you, Daddy."

Li Bing continued: "Five hundred acres of land is rented, and there are hundreds of taels of silver every year. You can use 5000 taels of silver to do some business, and you will own all the profits. If you pay the compensation, I will talk about it."

Li Qubing said: "Yes."
