At night.

Lights are everywhere in the mansion.

Gu Chensha sat on the chair of the Grand Master, and the adopted son stood beside him, with servants standing with their hands hanging down, some standing under the eaves, some standing beside the corridor, some holding scissors and wicks, and some cleaning the courtyard, all silently, each with ulterior motives, and secretly looking at the two people in the main house.

"Master, this is the list. There are only 500 people in the entire mansion." The adopted son put it on the list.

"Five hundred people, so many?" Gu Chensha frowned: "I looked at this mansion and the surrounding fertile orchards, and can only raise up to two hundred people."

"Yes, my wise eyes are like a torch." The adopted son said: "The original housekeeper of this manor used public service and private services, and raised a lot of idle people. All the aunts and aunts were stuffed into it. In fact, the mansion was empty and there was no money at all. In addition, there were tens of thousands of foreign debts. I had already summoned everyone to give me a lecture and removed four hundred people, leaving behind a hundred honest people, and gradually replaced my own people in the future."

"Yes, I just have to do this. Are there anyone who is dissatisfied with causing trouble?" Gu Chensha knew that managing a family is like governing a country, and he must not be taken lightly.

"Who dares? Wang Fashen is so strict? If it were before, they would dare to be disrespectful to the master. However, the master was appreciated by the emperor and did not know the current affairs. There is only one way to die. It is a serious crime to bully the master with a slave. We can directly execute him in the mansion." The adopted son said in his tone: "But Old Man Xia, who is in charge of our manor, is difficult to deal with. He was sent directly by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"You just let go of this matter. I would rather no one do anything than outsiders penetrate it." Gu Chensha said.

"This is naturally. I am, we will hold a big banquet in a few days. After all, it is a big event for the opening of the mansion. Officials, even princes and nobles will send gifts according to etiquette, and we will also send gifts back. It cannot be too cold, otherwise it will damage the majesty." The adopted son calculated with his finger: "In addition, I have fifty armored soldiers, and I have to recruit them myself and pay them for military pay. This is also a lot of money. When our Duke's mansion is running, everything cannot be separated from money. Although the emperor gave 300,000 yuan, I think it will be used up in a year. The first thing now is to increase revenue and reduce expenses. I am not as support from other princes, and my mother's family."

When other princes were strong in their mother tribes, they even started to build power for him, and built mansions early and laid out talents, such as the eighteenth prince Gu Hongsha, who did not live with the mansions given by them at all, but built them on their own, with thousands of slaves under their hands, masters and money like flowing water. Such forces can naturally be circulating in the court and the country and do things easily.

And ancient Chensha can only work hard to manage.

"Yes, you need money everywhere, but I have a way to get money, you don't have to worry about this." Gu Chensha thought, and at this time he could kill the tiger and wolf pills and sell them through secret channels.

The tiger and wolf pill is an ancient strange pill. Once it appears, it will definitely attract the favor of countless people and of course it will also cause trouble. If Gu Chensha is an ordinary person, he would have great concerns, but he is a prince, with one person above ten thousand people, but he is not afraid of being investigated. As long as the emperor does not deal with him, no one can start from the national law level.

If a tiger and wolf pill is really sold, it may be worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. As long as you sell a little, a hundred can completely solve the financial crisis.

"Can you sell the elixir I take?" the adopted son said, "But how can you explain the origin of the elixir to others?"

"It's okay, just say that I occasionally got a jar of elixirs left from ancient times. Who dares to check me?" Gu Chensha remained silent.

"Indeed, if an ordinary big family gets such elixirs, they can only be dedicated to the court, otherwise they will be raided and destroyed, but the identity of the master doesn't matter." The adopted son felt relieved: "But my master has been too popular recently. I think he will be silent for a while and the elixirs will also be sold to reliable people. If he is taken over by another prince, it will be equivalent to a entrusting enemy."

"Yes, I already have a buyer." Gu Chensha said.

"Long Yuyun?" The adopted son could see through it at once.

"Little adopted son, it seems that you have achieved success in your experience. Long Yuyun is a good channel, but I actually want to sell it to the Lou family. My father intends to let Lou Baiyue get close to me, so I naturally have to rely on the power of the Lou family." Gu Chensha smiled and said, "Of course, the Lou family is unfathomable, and I have to be careful."

"That's natural. The Lou family has always been hostile to the master. This time, the tiger and wolf pill was sold to the Lou family. They couldn't stand the temptation and had to swallow it. Once swallowed, the Lou family's strength would inevitably double. Now the Lou family is already half-day. If it expands again, the master will be shocked by the master and the end will be miserable!" The adopted son sneered: "Then Lou Baiyue bewitched the tenth prince and beat the master back then, and the account must be calculated. Besides, if something happens to the Lou family, he can also find a way to take over the power of the Lou family and plan a big deal."

"There is no need to be such a conspiracy." Gu Chensha looked at the adopted son differently, and he could not have thought that this kid had such profound ideas. "It's just that he must be guarded against others, and he must not be harmed by others."

"I am open and upright, and the scenery is bright and beautiful. These dark little things and sins have been done by the little adopted son." The adopted son remained silent.

"Hey..." Gu Chensha sighed: "You ask Old Man Xia, the manager of the manor, to come to see me."

An old man stood in front of ancient Chensha.

Wearing a brocade dress and a hat, a thumb-sized jade piece inlaid on it. Half of the jade piece is emerald green, half of it is the color of flame, and a jade ring on his hands is white, with a faint holy light. The boots on his feet are exquisitely leather, and they are also inlaid with gems.

"Long and warm jade?" Gu Chensha recognized that the jade, which was half green and half flame, was a rare cold and warm jade. After wearing it, it can absorb the heat in summer and release it in winter. The cold air can be absorbed in summer and released in summer. The circulation of yin and yang energy is not only of great benefits for the human body, but also can make practice twice the result with half the effort.

The jade ring is also a vague treasure and is of great value.

The small manor manager is so rich.

The outfit on this body is worth at least 30,000 to 50,000.

Tianfu is in this dynasty, and it is extremely prosperous. The trend of extravagance among the people is gradually emerging. It is not uncommon for wealthy people to dress up like this. But now, as the manor manager, it is necessary to avoid suspicion. Now, there is no need to avoid any hiding, that is, he is confident and has a huge backstage.

"The villain Xia Huang has seen Master No. 19." When the old man saw Gu Chensha, he even bowed slightly and did not kneel down.

"Bold, don't kneel down!" the adopted son shouted.

"It's okay." Gu Chensha stopped the adopted son from stepping forward, "Xia Huang, are you the manager of my manor?"

"Yes, the villain manages hundreds of acres of orchards around this mansion and thousands of acres of fertile land to maintain the expenses and repairs of this mansion." Xia Huang said: "This mansion originally belonged to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The emperor gave it to Master No. 19, so I will naturally manage the property for Master No. 19 in the future."

"So that's it." Gu Chensha said calmly: "Then I ask you, why are there no money deposited in the accounts of the mansion? Instead, there are foreign debts? How did you manage it?"

"The 19th Master is not in charge of the family and does not know the difficulty of being in charge of the family. This mansion is so large that the expenses of the people from all over the country are quite large. It also needs to be repaired regularly to prevent deterioration over time. The income of a few fruit forests and a few fields is not enough, so the income is not enough." Xiahuang was not in a hurry.

"Xia Huang, I know you have enough pockets. Now I will give you a choice to spit out the swallowed property and get out of it. You can spare your life." The adopted son snorted coldly.

"Why did the righteous man say this?" Xia Huang was not surprised at all: "Although the villain is humble, he is not a casual slander. The nineteenth master is clear."

"Is that?" Xiao adopted son sneered and asked a half-dead person from behind, covered in blood: "This is the account. After my torture, I have taken out everything. He also took out a lot of account books, all of which are here. As long as I hand them over to the clan's mansion, you not only have to search the house, but also exiled the whole family to the border to work as a laborer and build the Great Wall of the Stone. You have already thought about it."

The accountant was thrown by the adopted son and woke up, "Master Xia, I have no choice but to be beaten to death..."

"Now, everyone has evidence and physical evidence. Xia Huang, what do you have to say? I don't want to give you the money I have embezzled over the years, a total of 200,000, so I won't make things difficult for you." The adopted son hosted here, Gu Chensha just watched.

"Master 19, don't go too far." Xia Huang's eyes sharply: "I am the Prince of Fan, and the entire Interior Office is also managed by Prince of Fan. If I touch me, I will go against Prince of Fan. I think we will not violate the river. Master 19, I will continue to manage this mansion. How about you be Duke of Chen with peace of mind?"

"The third brother's person?"

Prince Fan is the old San Ancient Fansha.

He controlled the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs and the old prince entered the Dao Realm early, led the powerful soldiers, fought with the barbarians at the border, and held real power. The current Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Minister Fan Ruhai was his cousin.

Although Gu Chensha has been valued by the emperor for the time being, his foundation is still shallow and far from being compared with the four princes among the princes. This is also the reason why Xia Huang doesn't care at all.

Gu Chensha stood up, walked slowly to Xia Huang's side, and suddenly made a move and slapped him like lightning.

Bang!

Xia Huang was slapped in the face, and he was beaten away, hitting the pillar of the palace and rolling down, wailing in pain.

"What are you? Use your third brother to suppress me?" Gu Chensha sneered: "Your martial arts is good, and you can slap me in the face without fainting. The adopted son tied him up and notified his family members, saying that he would hand over all the embezzled money to redeem the people. Otherwise, I would use the means of dealing with the slaves to cut off his hands and feet and throw them out."

"Yes." The adopted son dragged Xia Huang out and took off all the gems on him. After tied them up, he came back and reported: "Master, did we offend the Third Master if we do this? That would be difficult to mess with."

"This is impossible. If this thorn is not removed, the family business will not be rectified. If the family cannot be cured, how can we do big things? Leaving this summer wasteland means there are more thieves. Day and night defense are useless. Anything we do will spread to others on the same day." Gu Chensha understood in his heart: "It will be easier to pull out this nail. Of course, there are still many nails in this mansion. Let's pull them out one by one, replace them with trustworthy people, and leave them to you to do the things. These days, I will go to seclusion and practice, and go further."

Anything is false, only strength is true.
