Chu Lixuan had a dark face the whole time. Even when Jiang Xinyan made him laugh, he restrained himself from laughing.

Jiang Xinyan turned around and teased the cute baby Chu Lixiang. The two of them laughed constantly. The cute baby was really cute and silly towards his elder sister-in-law.

She didn't face Wei Yan's strength at all. She was just a little puppy no matter what, and Wei Yan was so angry that she didn't know what to eat.

She really wanted to talk to her eldest cousin, but his dark face was still very scary. Despite this, Wei Yan still liked him very much.

Wei Yan patiently talked to Jin Niang in a gentle manner. Jin Niang was a good person. She thought that she had made things clear to Wei Yan, so she was not afraid that Wei Yan would miss Brother Xiang.

So Jin Niang talked to Wei Yan enthusiastically. Wei Yan wanted to attract Chu Lixuan's attention and tried to turn the topic to him several times.

It's a pity that Jin Niang didn't dare to say anything in front of her eldest son. This was a habit she had developed many years ago and was just an instinctive reaction.

Wei Yan scolded Jinniang in her heart for being unkind and guarding her. This was really an injustice to Jinniang.

Everyone couldn't finish the meal. Some were happy and some were worried. Jin Niang was completely unaware of all this.

After eating, Chu Lixuan took his little wife and took Chu Lixiang away, while Wei Yan naturally stayed to accompany Jinniang.

Grandfather Wei and the sons of the Wei family had several delicious meals and fell in love with this place, especially the harmonious atmosphere in the castle.

Grandfather Wei and Grandfather Nie went to dry the valley with Master Cheng and Mr. Song. Not only were they relaxed and happy, they were also able to talk about the mountains.

Grandfather Wei was a little worried that he was too old to do other jobs. When the rice was dried, wouldn't they just have free rice?

Grandfather Song said, "Look what Brother Changshan said, after our rice is dried, we will go to the breeding farm, and we will cut pig grass, dig earthworms and raise chickens. There will be a lot of work!"

"Do you raise pigs or chickens in this castle?" Grandpa Nie asked uncertainly.

"Yes, there are also horses, cattle, and sheep. Do you know how many horses we have in Xuanyan City?" Grandfather Song asked mysteriously.

"I don't know! Our grandson didn't tell us, do you know?" Grandfather Wei became excited.

"We definitely know it. When the gang is very busy, they only arrange work for us two old men. We usually walk around, there is nothing we don't know!"

"What? You don't usually have to work? I thought you would just have free rice if you didn't work!" Grandfather Wei sighed.

"You can eat free rice, Mrs. Chu said, an elder in a family is a treasure, and we are the treasures in the castle." Grandfather Song was very arrogant.

After hearing what Grandfather Song said, several old classmates started chatting happily all over the place again, and they were very happy.

Chu Lixuan and Jiang Xinyan took Chu Lixiang out of the palace gate. Chu Lixuan originally took his wife to go to Nie Cimeng and the others to discuss matters.

"Brother, sister-in-law, let's go see my new friend together." Chu Lixiang's little eyes turned expectantly.

"Husband, if you have anything to do, go ahead and get busy. I'll find you later. It's rare for Brother Xiang to make new friends."

Chu Lixuan looked at his wife, wondering what he could do but pamper her. He glared at Chu Lixiang fiercely and turned around and left.

The uncles of the Wei family and the Nie family, as well as the younger generations over the age of eighteen, finally met the legendary owner of the castle, the Marquis of Zhennan, who made the southern barbarians fearful.

Today, Chu Lixuan was disgusted by Wei Yan and was in a very unhappy mood. In addition, his wife was not around, so he wore a face that had been darkened for thousands of years, making everyone afraid to express his anger.

Zhao Yu and Wei Dabin thought that Chu Lixuan had made Jiang Xinyan unhappy, and their expressions suddenly darkened.

Wei Dabin's father learned from Nie Cimeng to take charge of the entire castle's land, household registration, taxes (not required at the time of praise), salary and other financial matters.

To put it simply, it means that he controls the money and food of the entire castle, which is equivalent to the position of the Minister of Household Affairs.

All this was easy for Wei Huaiyu, who was originally the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Nie Cimeng selected an uncle from the Nie family to be in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs together with Wei Huaiyu.

The Minister of Hubu is respected as the local official, and the agencies under the Hubu include Qianfa Tang and Baoquan Bureau, which are responsible for making money.

The three treasuries of the household department (silver treasury, satin treasury, and paint treasury) are in charge of the treasury, and the Cangchang Yamen is in charge of warehousing and water services.

From a functional point of view, the Ministry of Household Affairs is equivalent to the current combination of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Finance Bureau, the Land and Resources Bureau and the Central Bank.

These require the selection of talents, such as (ministers, directors, and presidents) who are called ministers in Dongchen Kingdom.

Nie Cimeng has already been selected, but Wei Huaiyu, the boss of the household department, still needs to see and try the job in person. Wei Huaiyu is only forty-five years old and can still work for several years.

Nie Cimeng is equivalent to the future chief assistant. The head of the six departments, the Ministry of Industry, has been handed over to Luo Yansong.

Wei Dabing managed the entire military department, and Zhao Yu managed the criminal department. They were both still young, and they had slowly figured out their management methods based on the guidance of their father and wife.

The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel do not need to be established for the time being, in terms of some specific affairs that the Ministry of Rites is in charge of.

In fact, some of the things in charge of the Ministry of Rites are somewhat similar to the current Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Education.

For example, there are some important ceremonies in the court, such as ceremonies such as offering sacrifices to ancestors, or ceremonies such as offering sacrifices to heaven and earth.

The Ministry of Rites is responsible for all the large and small matters involved, including the imperial examinations held by the imperial court...

The castle does not need these things for the time being. The main reason is that they are afraid of causing the madam's resentment, so they are not ready to set up one yet.

The entire meeting hall is under low pressure. The Wei family and the Nie family are very worried about the future. Isn't it said that the people here are easy to get along with!

Chu Lixuan was scary enough when he wasn't smiling, but there were two other people with dark faces, which made everyone even more depressed.

The younger generations of the Wei family and the Nie family, all those under the age of eighteen went to work in the fields, and those who studied martial arts were prepared to be thrown into the military camp for training.

Those who study literature will go to school to study, but whether they study martial arts or literature, they must take martial arts classes and liberal arts classes.

Chu Lixiang took Jiang Xinyan to meet his new friends, Wei Wenbin and Nie Ciyuan, two eleven-year-old children with very lively personalities.

Jiang Xinyan also likes them very much. The young master who has lived in fine clothes since he was a child is currently piling grain.

It is to pick up the stalks cut from the front and pile them into a pile, and wait for the stalks to be handed to the person stepping on the threshing machine.

This is not a technical job, and it won't hurt people. Novices can learn it once, and Chu Lixiang will do it with them as soon as he goes.

Jiang Xinyan talked to them for a while, encouraged everyone, and then went to the meeting hall to find Chu Lixuan.

The meeting hall was originally cold and ice-cold, but as soon as Jiang Xinyan stepped in, the warmth of spring blossomed.

Chu Lixuan looked at his young daughter-in-law's excitement and knew that she was in a good mood. Seeing her happy, he also had a soft smile on his face.

Wei Dabin and Zhao Yu looked at the lady with smiles on her brows and eyes, and their dark faces instantly turned into smiles.
