Chapter 130 Zhaoer is promising

This wing is very large, equipped with all kinds of furniture, and the decoration is unique.

This is an independent courtyard, with a main house and an annex. There are five main rooms and three annexes. Between the main house and the annexes, there are two suites connected to the main house, and there is an aisle that leads to the backyard.

, there is also a courtyard wall that separates the courtyard into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard.

Here and there are guest rooms, which are clearly the owner's residence.

The housekeeper actually arranged for him to live in his employer's house, which was a disgrace to him. In the past, such a place would have been suitable for him, but it was different now. He was a down-and-out person and should not receive such courtesy.

This family is so polite.

Over the years, he has also realized that he is no longer the rich man he was before, but a person on the edge of a businessman and a farmer. Such a person has the least sense of existence.

If you have no sense of existence, you will have to realize that you are an inferior person.

Li Jinong was very uncomfortable with it and quickly refused, "No, no, no, Li is so virtuous and capable." He bowed and walked out quickly.

"Master!" The butler became anxious and knelt down quickly, his arms throbbing with blood. At this moment, if he didn't call him 'Master' and didn't try to keep the master, if the young master knew about it, he would be doomed as a butler.

He didn't care whether the master liked this title or not.

"You are a virtuous and capable man, and you will definitely be able to live in such an elegant room. This is specially prepared for you by the young master."

Yes, when Li Zhao renovated the manor, he deliberately reserved two rooms. One room was reserved for his uncle, and the other room was naturally reserved for his mother.

However, the two men were never found, so they remained vacant.

The housekeeper naturally knows about this.

"Young master prepared it specially for me?" Li Jinong stopped and wondered. He was not familiar with his master's master, so why did he prepare it for him? Moreover, the butler called him "master", could it be that his master was his old friend?

You must know that before the Li family went bankrupt, he had met many people of high status and naturally had many friends. He thought that his boss might be his friend.

He's an old friend! It's normal to prepare such a luxurious room for him, so he asked:

"I wonder who the owner is?"

Upon hearing this, the butler's eyes widened with a strange expression. The master had been wandering around for a whole day, but he still didn't know who his boss was!

Didn't he come here to find the young master? Why didn't he know?

"Oops!" The housekeeper slapped his head and thought clearly. The master must not have known that the young master was the master of Chang'an Township! He was just a servant.

It was his fault that he didn't explain clearly, so he quickly said: "My boss is the young master, your nephew Li Zhao."

"Li Zhao, Zhao'er?" Li Jinong's pupils dilated and he was filled with disbelief.

"Exactly, this place belongs to the young master. No, the entire Chang'an Township belongs to the young master. It was given by the emperor himself." The steward explained quickly.

"Given by the emperor himself?" At this moment, Li Jinong was completely unable to digest the news and was stunned on the spot.

It took him a long time to realize, "Are you serious? Is the young master really Zhao'er? Did he sow the rice ears? Is he also the one who produced the paper?"

A series of questions showed his disbelief, but the butler's expression showed that everything was true.

"Of course! In addition to these, the fertilizer workshop is also opened by the young master, but it is now in the preparation stage." Yes, fertilizer has not begun to be accepted by everyone. If it is mass-produced and sold, it will be a business. In addition to heavy taxes, there are also many

There is a risk, so the output is just to maintain the demand.

Phew! Li Jinong took a breath, and everyone could feel his shock. The owner was actually his nephew, the person who grew such ears of rice and made paper? How incredible.

Presumably, if it hadn't been for the butler's suggestion, he would never have guessed that his nephew was the boss.

Li Jinong was not interested in fertilizer workshops. He pointed to the rice fields not far away. He wanted to ask clearly whether this rice could really yield eight shi per mu.

“Is this rice really capable of yielding eight shi per mu?”

"Yes!"

"Is this paper really made by Zhaoer?"

"indeed!"

"How much money can a paper-making workshop make per month?"

"It's a few hundred gold for the time being, and it's still in the limited edition stage."

Huh! Li Jinong took another breath. Hundreds of gold, and he still hasn’t fully exerted his power. What an astronomical figure this must be!

I think that when the Li family was prosperous, their monthly income was only this amount, but now my nephew only has a papermaking workshop and can make this amount casually. Then he will be able to do it in the future. Don't forget that there is still rice in the fields that can yield eight shi per mu.

ear.

He knew very well what eight stones meant in the agrarian Qin.

His nephew has changed into something that even he can't believe.

As he was thinking about it, Li Jinong's eyes suddenly became strange. He pretended to cough twice and said, "Butler Xiao, how much money does our Li family have?"

"It's a lot. If necessary, I should let the master handle the account. As for the cash, I have to wait for the young master to come back." The steward knew what Li Jinong was thinking and immediately said, of course, he couldn't be the master of the cash, so he could only wait for Li Zhao.

"Very good, very good!"

Li Jinong was very satisfied. The next moment, he thought of a question and asked: "Steward, you said Chang'an Township was a gift from the emperor? Did Zhao'er make great contributions?"

"This." The steward couldn't figure it out. When the emperor gave them to the young master directly, he didn't know why. These days, he didn't ask, so he said, "I don't know either. I only know that the emperor named the young master the title of young concubine."

.”

"Shao Nei?" Li Jinong was very surprised. His nephew turned out to be a Shao Nei. Although the Shao Nei was just an internal official and had no real power, he was better than a peasant. At least he was an official.

Of course, he is a bit lower than those powerful people.

"Hey! Considering how lonely our Li family is, the young lady can do well. Of course, it would be better if Zhao'er can take a step further."

The housekeeper took a serious look at the master and realized that the master seemed to know nothing about the young master, but he soon felt relieved. Hearing that the master had fled Xianyang for a long time, he naturally did not know much about the young master, so he said: "Master, actually the young master has taken a step forward.

"

"Oh! How do you say this?" Li Jinong became interested.

"The young master is already a general of a thousand men, leading an army of two thousand. He has real power, and he also has a second-level title."

"Thousand-man general? Second-level title?" Li Jinong's body trembled when he heard this, and he froze on the spot.

Was his nephew actually a thousand-man general, or a second-level knight? This was something he couldn't even imagine.

The Thousand-Man General has separated from the peasants and is now a member of the army! His nephew is promising, and he has a second-level title, which is even more remarkable.

You must know how difficult it is to obtain a title.

In their heyday, the Li family tried every means to obtain a title, even donating a large amount of money and silk, but failed in the end. He did not expect that after the Li family fell into decline, his nephew could obtain it on his own. What a blessing to the family!

After obtaining the title, the Li family is no longer simply a family of merchants, but a family with status.

It is true that in the Qin Dynasty, the status of merchants was very low, and some were even worse than farmers. But having a title was different. They had risen to the level of aristocrats.

Have a respected position.

Zhaoer has a promising future.
