Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 488; All nineteen surnames rejected

Chapter 490; All nineteen surnames rejected

Seeing that the head steward of the Liu family was doing an errand for one of his redundant brothers, the stewards in the family couldn't help but recommend their own redundant brothers who had no errands. They thought it might not be possible, because Li's For all the errands, the number of second stewards under the head steward is only four. I didn't expect that everyone asked the patriarch this time, and the patriarch agreed!

Li Yu promoted nine second stewards at once, this was the first time in Lantian Li's records, Li Yu couldn't help smiling when he saw the somewhat surprised senior stewards;
"It's nothing surprising. The re-opening of the Silk Road is not something that can be done overnight, and it is not something that can be done by three or two stewards. Don't be surprised, but the nine second stewards are still not enough.

In addition, I want to organize 3000 people as the main force to reopen the Silk Road. Today, everyone is here to make it clear.

In the next two days after the household registration of Li's second house is completed, 500 people will be selected, and when everything is ready, Agui and Daniu come back, and then they can go west. There must be no mistakes in cooperating with King Bin. "

"It's the patriarch."

Li Yu leaned back in the grand master's chair a little sleepily;
"Okay, I've basically outlined everything that needs to be said. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it. If there's nothing to do, let's leave. I'm tired after sitting in the carriage for a long time."

Dozens of big stewards looked at me and I looked at you, and some who wanted to speak held back their mouths, all of them were winking, the patriarch had just returned from Chang'an and held a discussion with all the chief stewards of the second room, he must be exhausted Yes, this time is really not the time to talk about things, so everyone shook their heads separately, and finally bowed and retreated.

Seeing everyone leaving, Li Yu relaxed and picked up the tea bowl without taking a few mouthfuls. Qin Huaidao, who was almost four years old, and Li Lizhi, who was eight years old, held hands. They followed two groups of maids and servants, chattering to the main hall.

Li Lizhi asked curiously;

"Brother, your house is so big, it's bigger than my little sister's palace."

Li Yu laughed out loud upon hearing this;

"Isn't it? Your own palace only has more than 20 rooms and two courtyards. Because you don't have many people, it is enough to live there. Brother, there are too many people here. If it is not as big as your palace, there are so many people. Where do people live?"

Before Li Yu finished speaking, Qin Huaidao touched his stomach and said;
"Brother, when can we eat? I'm so hungry!"

"Big Brother Lizhi still wants to eat chicken."

"Well, don't worry, it's not dark yet, but since you two are hungry, we won't delay any longer, just start eating."

Li Yu nodded to the maid serving beside her, and the maid saluted and went out to make arrangements, while Li Yu looked at the nurses of the two little people and gave orders;
"The two of them don't need to look for me when they're hungry, they just go to the Tongchuan kitchen to serve, lest they can't find me, it's not beautiful."

"It's Lord Hou."

"It's Lord Hou."

After a night without talking, Li Yu got up on time on the second day and was served by a group of maids. She dressed neatly and came in to report after eating too early;
"Reporting to my lord, the patriarch Gongshu is here."

"Oh? Please hurry up. Forget it, I will invite you in person."

Li Yu was very excited when he heard that the patriarch Gongshu had arrived, and strode out of the main hall. The old man Gongshu was looking at a peach blossom tree in the yard with his hands behind his back in good spirits.

"My father-in-law is very elegant. It is now in March, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom. How can my father-in-law have breakfast? If not, I will ask someone to arrange it immediately."

Gongshuban wore clean and tidy new silk and satin clothes made by the three major tailors of the second bedroom of Li's family. After half a year of self-cultivation, the slaves and maidservants were well-fed and well-fed. Today's Gongshuban is not what it used to be, and there is an air of upper-class people spontaneously.

"Meet the patriarch, a certain family is polite."

Seeing the stubborn old man coming to salute again, Li Yu hurriedly jumped two steps sideways to avoid it, and then jumped back again;

"My father-in-law, can you stop doing this, how nice it is for none of us to perform this vulgar ceremony for anyone?"

"That can't be done. Back then when my Gongshu family was hunted down thousands of miles away, it was the old patriarch who led his troops to rescue the people of my Gongshu family.

Then you get the courtesy of the patriarch, you treat him as a guest, and you are in charge of all construction matters, and you are the elder of the guest. , also extremely grateful.

Now the people of the Gongshu tribe are all superior, and they are promoted everywhere because of the kindness of the patriarchs of the two generations of the Li family. I am not a fool who knows what is good and what is bad. "

Li Yu kept shaking his hands;

"Patriarch, why are you mentioning this? You presided over the construction of Zhuangzi and worked hard day and night. There are also new waterwheels and river management. Which one is not a big deal?

I can't even imagine what it would be like without the Gongshu family. Fortunately, God blesses and sent the Gongshu family to help my Li family's second wife. Well, let's not talk about it. I just want to ask the patriarch, our Zhuangzi's How is the build going. "

When it comes to things that Gongshuban is good at, Gongshuban's eyes immediately light up;
"The Hui patriarch's words are basically over. The next step is to sort out the newly built roads in the east. Please tell the patriarch if you have any arrangements."

"Don't dare, I also said yesterday that we will build the same brewery again. During the discussion yesterday, you didn't answer the patriarch. I feel a little uneasy."

"Forgive me, Lord Hou, this is the first time for me to participate in the major events of Li's ancestral hall as an elder guest, and I am not used to it, so I don't want to say more.

But I have already remembered what the patriarch said yesterday. I told the clansmen when I went back last night. I came here today to ask Lord Hou. Whether the half-old Zhuangzi in the west can start to be built, or according to the previous plan, start with other Four Zhuangzi start? "

Li Yu rubbed his hands and let go of his restless heart. All his future development will be inseparable from this home of the most powerful craftsman in the world. Yesterday he talked about building a new brewing workshop. Yu felt uncomfortable.
I'm afraid that the old man doesn't want to do it, and he still has a lot of big things to dream about in the future. If the public loser quits, who can he turn to?
So Li Yu was in a bad mood yesterday, so he didn't want to talk too much. After a brief explanation, he announced the end. Now he heard the old man say that it was his first time attending a meeting and he was not used to it, so Li Yu felt relieved;
"Oh, that's it. I thought the patriarch didn't care about building anymore, but I was shocked yesterday."

"Not caring? Master Hou is really joking. If the descendants of our public losers have no work to do, they will live like walking dead. What is the difference between them and the dead? If they have work to do, they can't take charge of the overall situation or take power. It's still troublesome." It's terrible, I'm still worried that Lord Hou won't arrange to live, it's impossible if you don't live..."

Li Yu laughed from ear to ear when he heard this;

"That's that, if your family doesn't work, it's really boring. If you don't come back these days, I don't know how Zhuangzi is doing. If my father-in-law is free, let's go to the east side of the newly built building?"

"It's what you want, Master Hou please first."

"My husband please."

The two walked towards the front yard talking and laughing, and Li Yu was startled as soon as they turned around the back wall of the shadow. Four tables were set up in front of the gate of the front yard, and many books were placed on each table. There were five or six people, and there was a queue in front of each table, with heads all over the place, but no one spoke. Ji Wuchang, the chief steward in charge of the household registration, stood beside the first table with his eyebrows frowned, silent, four None of Ji Wuchang's four second managers at the table dared to speak...

Li Yu walked up to him and asked along the way;
"Master Ji, what are you doing? You're so melancholy? And why haven't these people started registering after sitting down? There are a lot of farmers here?"

"Huh? Oh! Greetings to the Patriarch, if you go home to the Master, it is not difficult to register and make a register. It's just that the people in Li's second bedroom have a total of 900 surnames. Regardless of whether they are in Longxi Laowo or Lantian, they have been with each other for more than [-] years. The head of the family leads the people of all surnames, no matter how big or small the matter is, the head of each family speaks alone and decides everything, this..."

Li Yu said indifferently;
"If you have something to say, just say it directly, don't hesitate."

"It's the head of the family. Let me tell the head of the family that suddenly so many people entered the house, I really don't know which of the nineteen surnames should be placed in it, so I'm in trouble and I ask the head of the family to show me."

"This is..."

This time it was Li Yu's turn to hesitate, let alone the household registration manager, Li Yu also frowned and walked back and forth...

That's right, it's not a minority. With over ten thousand people, it's not right to put that surname under them. Besides, whether you can obey them with peace of mind is another matter. Li's family has children who have camps, and they know to listen to their surnames when they are born If you are a parent, God knows if these farmers can abide by these rules?

This time the yard was quieter, and the farmers who came did not dare to say anything out loud, for fear of ruining the long-awaited good news because of this matter.

When Li Yu made the fourth round, Gongshuban couldn't help but speak;

"Master Hou, I have a suggestion, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"My father-in-law wants to say, separate the household registrations of these farmers who do not have the nineteen surnames?"

Gongshuban nodded;
"Master Hou is unparalleled in wisdom. From the current point of view, this is the only way to go. No matter which family name these many people are placed under, it is not suitable. Only by letting them form a family name can they be unified, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble."

Li Yu also understands these truths, let's not talk about the balance between families and children, just say that it is a big trouble for any family to let these people go, and who gets into trouble?Therefore, all the patriarchs of the various surnames arranged for someone to pass on the message to Ji Wuchang, and they absolutely cannot accept these mobs.

Although Ji Wuchang is the chief steward in charge of household registration, those old parents are not to mention elders, they are also the people in power of the previous generation. They have been majestic for a lifetime, so it is not easy to offend them all, right?

What's more, there is also my own old Aye, who is also the head of the Ji family. Last night, he seriously warned himself that these refugees from the southeast and northwest must not be placed under the household registration of the Ji family.

He still took the trouble to explain to himself that these refugees and refugees could not even learn the rules. If they were placed under the Ji family, they might cause a lot of trouble. Wouldn't it mean adding a lot of trouble to the Ji family?
So I strictly ordered myself not to accept these people. As long as Ji Wuchang dared to soften his heart and get these refugees under the name of Ji's family, he would not recognize his son, and he would even die on the wall of the new house, forcing Ji Wuchang to write a promise, the old man Aye said no more.

Ji Wuchang had just dealt with his old Aye at night, and as soon as he left the house early this morning, he was blocked at the door by the eldest sons of the heads of [-] other families, almost all of them today's major managers, and made it clear that his family name would not be accepted. Anyone can register.

That's why Ji Wuchang stood here and was entangled. The household registration books of nineteen surnames were all on the table, but he couldn't mess around.

However, the owner of the family made it clear yesterday that he agreed to accept these refugees. Don’t refuse to accept them here, and the owner of the family has a strict order to complete the registration and bookkeeping within two days. This is really embarrassing...

Just now Ji Wuchang was thinking about whether to register these people separately as his own surname, and was hesitating how to discuss this matter with the Patriarch, and the Patriarch came out.

Without saying a few words, Gongshuban came out to make a rescue, and his opinions were exactly the same as what he thought. Ji Wuchang was very happy, eager to solve his troubles quickly, so he accepted Gongshuban's words;
"To the Patriarch, what the Grand Steward of Gongshu said is very reasonable. No matter where these many people are placed, it will be a big trouble. It would be more worry-free to make a separate book management according to the Grand Steward of Gongshu. Please think more about it. Making a decision."

Li Yu didn't speak, and looked at Li Zhong, the chief steward of the front yard next to him. Li Zhong's Aye was the chief steward of the previous generation, and he was also the head of their family. Seeing the head of the family looking at him, Li Zhong immediately smiled with him;

"Patriarch Rong, our Li family now has a group of people in Longxi and a group of people in Lantian. There are still a lot of things in our family, and it is difficult to deal with them. If we add more, there will definitely be troubles. Please forgive me. I, Aye, made an explanation last night, if I dare to nod my head, I will take down my job as a big manager..."

Li Zhong's voice became smaller and smaller, until finally he lowered his head and didn't dare to say any more. Li Yu looked at Ji Wuchang again, and Ji Wuchang responded embarrassingly;
"Patriarch, I dare not be the master. Old Aye is the head of the Ji family..."

No matter which one of Li Yu's family has a child, the other party hastily bowed his head, and the farmers and refugees waiting in line on the scene were worried and didn't know what to say, they were all in a hurry.

Li Yu turned to look at Gongshuban;
"It's okay to make a separate book, but it can't be scattered. It needs to be restrained by parents. Wouldn't it be a mess if no one restrained it? What does the public transportation manager think?"

"What Hou Ye said is very true. There is a person in his heart who is far away, acts upright, and handles things with integrity. He is often invited by the farmers to judge and uphold justice. Hou Ye can arrange for this person to be the new head of the surname to restrain everyone. Words and deeds, so that farmers can advance and retreat in the same way."

Li Yu nodded and said;

"It is really necessary for someone to speak up. Is that Mr. Zou what my father-in-law said?"

Gongshuban nodded solemnly;
"Of course, Master Hou is extremely smart and he guesses right. This is the person I want to talk about. This brother from the Zou family is one of the only two people in the village who can read. He acts fairly and does not have selfish motives. The key He is also highly respected by the farmers, and he is the only suitable candidate."

"That's right, what my father-in-law said is in line with the situation, and it's also the standard candidate I thought of. Well, if that's the case, let's register and make a book, and list the farmers as a separate surname, and first register and make a book according to the original surname of each family. I will be registered as the father-in-law of the Zou family, and other matters will be discussed later, and the household registration matter will be settled quickly today and tomorrow, so as not to delay my important business."

Ji Wuchang threw out a big burden and immediately agreed with a smile on his face;

"Yes, honor your family's orders."

Ji Wuchang turned his head and ordered his subordinates;

"People!"

"The villain is here, please give orders."

"Go and invite the head of the No. 20 surname Zou to come and discuss the matter."

"only!"

One of Ji Wuchang's subordinates, who was in charge, agreed and hurried away with two subordinates...
