The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Fu was still on his way to Jingyang County. As soon as he left Chang'an City, Li Shao became the head of the Zhuangzi.

After Li Shao gradually understood the things in Zhuangzi, he became more cautious.

"Every one of these things in Zhuangzi is of great importance and will attract people's attention. I didn't understand why my husband was so nervous before, but now I really understand." Li Shao sat in the study, looking through the account books in his hand and many materials left by Li Fu.

As for the drawings drawn by Li Fu himself, although they were not good-looking, they were also very valuable. Li Fu also gave them to Li Shao before leaving.

"Before my husband left, everything was arranged properly, but in the past two days, it has been clearly discovered that there are more people spying around the manor than before." Lao Zhao said, "Two people have been captured in the military camp and handed over to the Hundred Cavalry Division to take away."

"They are taking advantage of my husband's absence from Chang'an City to become active again." Li Shao smiled and said, "Is everything fine in the military camp?"

"With General Su and Guard Bai here, everything is fine. The granary in the military camp has begun to be built." Lao Zhao said, "After the construction is completed, the extra grain from the wine workshop will be transported there. In addition, the expansion and recruitment of the wine workshop in the manor are also being prepared this year."

"These things have been sent by Master Yan." Lao Zhao explained, "As for Master Yan, he is still in charge of the new house."

"It's also thanks to you, How is the farm recently? Every spring, water use in the farm and the fiefdom is a big problem. "Li Shao said, "I haven't heard of any fights over water yet."

"I haven't heard of any news yet. After the water conservancy in the farm was renovated last year, the water use problem has been alleviated." Lao Zhao said, "Last year, there was a fight between the two villages. At that time, Langjun went to mediate on the spot. After the last time, even if someone wants to make trouble this year, they have to think twice.

What's more, the 1,000 guards of the palace also have to take care of things. "

"It rained twice this spring, and the river channels and canals have stored a lot of water. At present, it should be enough. "

"I hope everything goes well this year. Who is responsible for the farmers' affairs in the fields now?" Li Shao asked.

"Originally, there was a steward named Zhang Huan on the farm. He was responsible for these matters. But last year, Zhang Huan was sent by my husband to raise pigs, and these matters were handed over to Steward Zhou. Now Steward Zhou is in Chang'an City. I have exchanged positions with Steward Zhou, and now I am still in charge of the overall planning." said Lao Zhao.

Li Shao nodded seriously and thought for a while.

"In this way, you have to take care of everything. Isn't it very hard?" Li Shao said: "You have an apprentice in the palace in Chang'an City. My husband said that when it was busy last year, you and Steward Zhou were both on the farm, and your apprentice was in charge of Chang'an City."

"Yes." Lao Zhao responded.

"Now that Steward Zhou is in charge of the Jingyang Palace in Chang'an City, why don't you transfer your apprentice here and bring him with you to continue teaching. There will be many places to use people in the future, and more people who can stand on their own will be needed." Li Shao said.

"Yes, thank you, madam." Lao Zhao hurriedly bowed his hands to thank him.

Steward Zhou was in Chang'an City, responsible for many affairs of the palace. His apprentice had to step down naturally, and his current position there was rather awkward.

If he could come to the manor, his future would be bright, and it would be appropriate to bring him with him.

On the boat, Li Fu stood on the deck, and the guards were scattered around the deck.

Jiang Que came out of the cabin and walked to Li Fu.

Li Fu was looking at the scenery on the shore.

In other words, Yang Guang had to take a boat to go to Jiangdu, and it was more comfortable to take a boat than on land.

The road conditions were not so good, and the carriage was bumpy. Even if you slept in the carriage, you would hit your head. It was bumpy all the way.

After arriving at the ferry, you got on the boat, which was better.

As for the inland river, there were no big winds and waves, and it was safe to navigate.

"The two rains this spring don't seem to have changed much." Jiang Que said.

"You mean the river water?" Li Fu turned his head and looked at Jiang Que.

Jiang Que nodded.

"Yes, but thanks to the water conservancy project built on the farm last year, a lot of water can be stored for irrigation. This spring, we don't have to worry about watering the crops in the fields." Jiang Que said, "But in the future, it's hard to say."

"How do you say that?" Li Fu was curious.

"Looking at the mountains, rivers, celestial phenomena, and nature, you can see some clues." Jiang Que said, "This summer, I guess the people in Guanzhong will still have a hard time."

LiLi Fu never knew that Jiang Que was half a charlatan.

Can you read this?

"I know a little bit." Jiang Que said seriously.

"No, I'm just a little curious, where did you learn this skill?" Li Fu asked.

"I read some books handed down by my ancestors." Jiang Que said: "I have learned a little bit of everything since I was a child."

Li Fu gave Jiang Que a thumbs up.

It has to be you, but Jiang Que was born in Tianshui, and his ancestors have some skills, which is reasonable.

These days, officials in the court are really all-round talents.

Chang'an City, Wei Family.

Wei Ting hurriedly came back from outside, and as soon as he got home, he asked the housekeeper where his brother was now.

"Master." The housekeeper bowed and replied: "The Duke is in the study in the side courtyard."

Wei Ting hurried to the side courtyard, arrived at the door of the study, and pushed the door open directly.

Wei Deyun was startled by the sudden intrusion, but he was relieved when he saw that it was his brother.

"Erlang, are you trying to scare me to death?" Wei Deyun felt sympathetic.

"If you have done nothing wrong, what are you afraid of?" Wei Ting said angrily.

"Erlang, what did I do?" Wei Deyun spread his hands, his face full of confusion.

"I ask you, did you send a group of people out of Chang'an City! Follow the King of Jingyang!" Wei Ting pointed at Wei Deyun and shouted angrily: "Are you going to kill our whole family?"

"I just asked people to follow me, I didn't give any other orders." Wei Deyun said: "Erlang, you have to know that I am now in charge of all the industries and businesses of our family. If I don't change, don't make progress, and don't find ways to expand our family's industry, then how can our family continue in the future?

The court is gradually taking back the salt and iron business rights. This knife is going to cut our necks."

While Wei Deyun was speaking, he gestured with his hand knife to his neck.

"This is cutting off our family's financial resources. Are we going to sit and wait for death?

This is a very important source of income. In our family, this business accounts for the majority."
