Hearing footsteps behind him, Fang Er knew it must be that guy Wei Zheng sneaking away.
But he was too lazy to care about him now. Let him run, could he run out of Great Tang?
He saw Chang Le warily sizing up their surroundings, then quietly stuffed a letter into Fang Er's trouser pocket.
"Brother-in-law, father wants me to give this to you."
"Hey, brother-in-law, what's in your pocket?"
"It's soft..."
"Wow, it's so big..."
"Is it a snake?"
The little girl, after stuffing the letter, couldn't bear to take her hand out of the pocket.
Fang Er was so awkward: "It's poisonous, hurry and let go, be careful it spits!"
Damn it, this little girl is definitely doing it on purpose!
This is outside the Liangji Hall, what is she trying to do?
The two palace maids on the side blushed instantly at the sight, thinking of the night Fang Er stayed in the palace before.
It was rumored that several princesses had not escaped.
So envious...
I wonder when the prince consort will stay in the palace again, maybe there will be a chance to be a substitute?
The princess just said it was so big.
Ah, it's so shameful, just thinking about it makes me feel faint (wet)...
Chang Le obediently pulled her hand out of the pocket, and before leaving, she still squeezed it a couple more times, making Fang Er almost lose his composure.
Feeling the letter in his pocket, he knew that Li Shimin was inconvenient to see him at the moment.
So he smiled at Chang Le and said, "Brother-in-law has to go back to Shenyang. Be good, listen to your mother in the palace, understand?"
"I don't, I want to go too!"
"Mother said that cousin has built a very big swimming pool at her home in Australia, and Chang Le has never seen it."
"Brother-in-law, take Chang Le with you, okay? Father has already agreed."
Chang Le tugged at Fang Er's arm, blinked her big Kazlan eyes, and looked at him with innocent eyes.
Fang Er couldn't help but frown. What was this old Li up to?
He walked out of the palace with Chang Le, and those two palace maids also followed with Haha.
Haha was already five or six years old, a grown husky, his eyes kept darting into Fang Er's trouser pocket.
Just now, the little princess seemed to be touching there for a long time, was there anything delicious?
Fang Er turned his head and met the sneaky eyes, and felt a wave of disgust in his heart.
What the hell, this guy wants to go too?
He immediately frowned and reprimanded the two palace maids: "No, you two, take Haha back!"
The two palace maids stopped when they heard the voice, and looked at Chang Le with some trepidation.
"Your Highness, the princess needs someone to take care of her..."
"Take care of what, I have servants in my manor, I don't need you, hurry back."
Fang Er waved his hand impatiently, then took Chang Le and left.
It didn't matter about the two palace maids, the main reason was that he disliked Haha. Damn it, he could do anything like carrying Gao Yang all over the city back then.
If he brought it home, wouldn't it run away with his own daughter?
The two palace maids looked at each other, not knowing what went wrong.
She entered the palace at nine years old, and it has been seven or eight years. If she doesn't find another home, her flowers will wither!
The Emperor is always away from home, and there is finally a young and "strong" noble son, but she hasn't approached him yet.
Very disappointed...
Back at Fang Family Manor, Old Ma Tou, Old Sun Tou, and others were sitting in the yard chatting. Chai Yue was sitting in the main seat, answering in a desultory manner.
These people were Fang Er's earliest helpers.
Without them, his career would not have developed so quickly.
Those wheat seeds, those vegetables, were all carefully cultivated by Old Ma Tou back then. See kǎn shū lā
Look at the chickens and ducks running around the manor now, this is Old Sun Tou's credit.
"Greetings, Your Highness, greetings, Princess."
Hearing the footsteps, everyone turned their heads and saw Fang Er and Chang Le, and quickly got up to bow.
"Sister Yue..."
Chang Le let go of Fang Er's big hand and ran towards Chai Yue with her arms open.
Fang Er nodded at Old Ma Tou and the others, signaling them to sit down and talk.
"Your Highness, here are the income and expenditure accounts of the various workshops in the manor, for your perusal."
Old Ma Tou picked up a chest from his feet and sent it over.
After Zhao Gang went to Shenyang, the burden of overseeing all the workshops of the Fang Family Manor fell on him.
Although he didn't understand, his seniority was there, and almost everything was carried out under his supervision.
Fang Er waved his hand: "I won't look at this."
He looked around at the people in the courtyard.
Cement workshop Ma Shan.
Carpentry workshop Niu Liang.
Coking workshop Wang Mo.
Caustic soda workshop Lin San.
Printing workshop Wang Wu.
Glass workshop Ma Qi.
Soap workshop Zhou Mu.
Schoolroom Ma Tongyuan.
Sewing workshop Liu Xiuniang.
Finally, his gaze stopped on Old Ma Tou and Old Sun Tou.
After thinking for a long time, he slowly said.
"Over the years, the affairs of the manor have been handled by all of you."
"To be honest, these industries no longer have much meaning to me."
"So I have decided that all the income from these workshops from now on will belong to the manor collectively."
"Bridges and roads, weddings and funerals, medical treatment and dispensing of medicine, etc., will all be paid from these funds."
"The remaining part, twenty percent will be distributed annually to each household based on headcount."
"Build another courtyard outside the village, hang the sign of the Villagers Committee, and you will be the first members of the village committee."
"No matter what happens in the village, including financial expenditures, the village committee will be responsible."
"That's it."
After speaking, he sat back in his chair with a smile.
This statement was like a bolt from the blue.
For Old Ma Tou and the others, it was no less than Feng Lao Kou's feeling when he heard the words "abolish imperial power".
However, no one here collapsed like him.
Eleven industries, except for the school which was a deficit, the other ten combined had a surplus of at least nearly a million guan annually!
With the development of these years, every household in Fang Family Manor has surplus grain, and those who are full and warm think of that...
Therefore, the population of the village has also increased rapidly.
A large number of babies are born every year. kAnshu伍.ξà
Today, Fang Family Manor can be said to be the number one village in the Great Tang in terms of scale.
In the past few years, distributed according to headcount, even after deducting expenses, each person can receive at least ten guan per year!
Although this is a good thing, Old Ma Tou frowned.
He walked up to Fang Er and knelt down with a plop.
"Your Highness, is it that something was done poorly in the manor, or did someone anger you?"
"You say it, no matter who it is, I, this old man, will break his leg with my own hands, even Ma Chao is no exception!"
The manor did not know about Fang Er's demotion, and he did not intend to correct it.
He just looked at Old Ma Tou's worried look, which made him want to cry but laugh. He stepped forward to help him up and said with a smile.
"Look at what you said, who can provoke me?"
"Unless it's the Emperor, who else in this Great Tang can bully this King?"
Old Ma Tou was immediately unhappy when he heard this.
"Damn it, the Emperor is not allowed either, Your Highness, you sit first, I, this old man, will go and call someone!"
"Let's attack Chang'an and take the emperor's position, and you sit on it!"
After speaking, he turned to Old Sun Tou.
"Hurry up and send a telegram to Chao'er and Mengzi, and ask them to bring the Skyfire Army back!"
"Rebel against him!"
