Chapter 92
Originally, he had no sense of belonging to this era, but after experiencing a year of hard work and experiencing another exhausted expedition, he returned to his nest in March. Looking at Wang Fu's wrinkled old face, Wang Hou finally found a long-lost sense of happiness and the feeling of going home.
Power is a double-edged sword. Wang Hou was really exhausted when he went out. He was seriously overdrawn in both physical and mental strength. He didn't bring much back when he came back. He just took his subordinates' holiday and even Zhao Yun went back to accompany his newlywed wife. He tucked him head-on on the warm kang with his mattress. I don't know how many hours he slept.
When he woke up again, it was the next afternoon, and he was full of blood. He stretched his body and pushed open the door comfortably. On the other end, the old butler Wang nodded and bowed to greet him, a very loyal servant.
"Master, you are awake! The young man has sent someone to prepare breakfast! However, the young man has another urgent task to ask the master, which is the salute you brought back... How to deal with it?"
"luggage?"
This trip was a real loss. When Chen Deng came back, he hurriedly led his troops back to Guangling and surrendered to Chen Deng, which greatly improved his power in Xuzhou. However, Wang Hou didn't even catch some local specialties. When it came to his luggage, he really asked Wang Hou's question mark.
However, looking at Chen Deng's strange face, Wang Hou suddenly thought of something and felt a sudden thrust in his heart again, it was broken!
He didn't care about eating anymore, so he hurried to the front wing room and opened the alley. He was indeed dying Lu Ji, and there was an unpleasant smell coming from the box.
Wang Hou had never been beaten in her life and was cut by her! Cao Hongjie was beaten with one-eyed green eyes by this girl. There was a lot of wounds on her face, but she was not scarred and broke her appearance. The same was for safety and to relieve her anger. She tied her hands and feet together and stuffed them into a box to imprison her. However, she was released from the morning, noon and evening to go to the toilet, otherwise her hands and feet might be tied up.
However, when he got home, his head sank, Wang Hou was confused. Seeing that his master tied up a girl, Wang Fu didn't dare to move for a while, and even Wang Ganzi went on vacation. It is conceivable that Lu Ji was suffering after being left for a day and a night.
This was the first time in this life that he was so embarrassed. Although he was so weak that he was dying, the girl opened her eyes and was still fierce like a little leopard, biting the cotton cloth and whimpering, wishing she could bite Wang Hou.
However, if the girl is tied up, she will be disabled even if she is not dead. She can hide for two or three meters away. Wang Hou can't helplessly slap her.
“Relax!”
…………
She was tied up for a day and a night, and hungry for a day and a night. Not to mention a little girl, the strong man had to lie down. Although the rope was untied, Lu Ji had no strength to go to the toilet. She had to mix her into the Gongbao. After cleaning up, she was helped by Wang Hou back to the dining room.
However, she has never been so embarrassed in her life, and she still has a slutty smell on her body. Lu Ji obviously doesn't want to eat anything. She collapsed on the chair weakly. She looked at two bowls of corn porridge and a few light pickles. Her little head with her hair was scattered and glancing proudly to the side, without saying a word, and without looking at Wang Hou at all.
"Eat quickly!"
After being beaten up by her, Wang Hou was obviously not very angry. He hit the table with a spoon and shouted very roughly, but seeing that the girl was obviously disrespectful and ignored her, he hummed helplessly.
"Have you heard of not shaving your head and not taking a bath if you don't shave your head and don't take a bath if you don't eat now, and I won't allow you to take a bath. Then you can go back to the box so smelly!"
These words obviously scared Lu Ji. He almost tortured her crazy last night. It would be better to kill her if she had to carry this smelly body with her overnight. He glared at Wang Hou again with anger. The girl finally tried hard to pick up the spoon. However, it fell! Two times! It fell! The third time, she was still tremblingly holding the spoon handle and holding it upwards, but one hand suddenly grabbed her hand.
Before she could shrink back in fear, Wang Hou had already snatched the spoon from her hand impatiently, served a mouthful of millet porridge, and delivered it to her mouth.
"Do you want to take a shower? Have a quick meal!!!"
After being stunned for a second or two, listening to Wang Hou's impatient shouting, Lu Ji then glared at him in a complicated way and opened her mouth.
Two spoonfuls of porridge and one spoonful of vegetables. This girl was like a child. She was fed by Wang Hou for every meal. After feeding her, Wang Hou squatted in front of her again and patted her waist.
“Come up!”
After waiting for a second or two, the girl didn't move, but Wang Hou shouted impatiently: "Do you still want to take a shower? If you don't want you, go back to the box and smell bad!"
Finally, in more than a second, the girl's soft and light body pounced on Wang Hou's back.
"How come it looks like a girl's house!"
He held her thighs with his hands upwards. Wang Hou walked impatiently and complained, but he didn't pay any attention. The expression on the girl's face on his back became more and more complicated, and even a feminine look was blushing.
However, Lu Ji thought too much and carried her to the bathroom door. Then the two maids took over her. As soon as the door was closed, Wang Hou didn't know where he went.
This woman was in trouble. She took a shower for more than two hours, and took a full bath and ate her stomach. It was considered that Lu Ji had recovered some of her physical strength. Who knew that after she crawled out, she didn't know where her clothes went. Only a big robe left on the shelf. Judging from her leniency, it should be Wang Hou's.
There was no clothes to wear, so he gritted his silver teeth hard. Lu Ji still put on his robe, wrapped around his delicate body, put on wooden shoes, and walked out.
After tossing until now, it was already late, and the backyard of the royal mansion became quiet. Only the little maid who had just served her to take a shower and change clothes lazily leaned against the door and dozed off. She threw the needlework on her hands all over the floor, and her saliva was flowing.
After hesitating for more than a minute, Lu Ji then gently kicked the little maid and asked the first sentence for the past ten days.
"Where is your master?"
"Ah? Is it time to eat?"
A shuddered up from the ground and looked at Lu Ji, who was wearing a big robe and a bath towel. The lazy boy rubbed his eyes in a daze again, just like chanting scriptures.
"The room that Uncle Fu arranged for you is in the backyard. I took the clothes to wash, and the supper should be almost done. The master said, if you want to bring it back to the room, I will send it to you!"
Even Lu Ji, who was stagnant, couldn't help but twitch slightly at this moment. She tried to hold back and asked again.
"Where is the master?"
"The master and Uncle Fu have gone out of the city. Go and check out this year's autumn harvest and account book! I won't come back to use it tonight!"
Lu Ji was a little stunned again. After all, she was just a spoil. When she was in Pengcheng, she was begging for death and was brought back by Wang Houqiang, which means that Wang Hou still liked her beauty. But now she had finished taking a shower. As a conqueror, there were usually some irresistible demands for women! But he actually left himself out of the city and ordered some harvest!
At this moment, Lu Ji didn't know whether she should relax or be disappointed!
Without saying a word, the girl returned to the house assigned to her in a dull manner. When she turned around, she closed the door with a creak. But after she woke up from the afternoon confusion, the little girl in the backyard slapped her forehead and waved her hand excitedly.
"Hey! Are you going to go to the dining room to eat or deliver it to your room?"
With a click, Lu Ji closed the window again.
…………
He didn't know that there was a little story in his yard. After finishing his work at noon, Lu Ji hurriedly ate his meal. Wang Hou drove the carriage and followed Wang Fu out of the city. After all, it was related to whether he could have enough food this year!
But it looks pretty good. Last year, I really harvested more than 80,000 stones as he had done. Last year, Mr. Cao, who was rushing to fight, did not forget to take half of his into the treasury and remove the 10,000 stones of grain that would support the 5,000 to tenants in a year. Wang Hou still had 25,000 stones of wheat left in his hand. This amount would be at least another year without worrying about it!
On the coal mine, Wang Hou implemented the labor-point employment system here, so there was no slack farming. In one winter, he bought 70,000 or 80,000 yuan in reserves. He helped him build more than 20,000 hoes, shovels and other farm tools, and had about 800 plows. Seeing that spring plowing is about to be approaching, he probably can make another payment this year.
However, the only thing that made Wang Hou depressed was that the pig farm he had high hopes for actually lost money!
The meat I mainly ate in this era was indeed not the second senior brother. In addition to the mutton that has been the best food in all dynasties, the Han people also had unique hobbies of dog meat. However, these were eaten by rich people, and the most poor people ate pork.
At the starting point, pork cannot be sold at a price, especially Wang Hou is not selling fresh meat. He requires bacon and ham to be made. After all, there is often war, and fresh meat will smell in three days, but bacon can be stored for at least two or three years, and the market is wider. But this has to be used in another indispensable commodity in this era.
Salt!
And it was this salt that made Wang Hou lose a lot!
Holding the bill, full of disbelief, Wang Hou roared in anger: "A piece of silk and stone salt, rob it?"
"That's right, the price negotiated last year was still ten stones of silk, but a month before the master came back, it suddenly increased to one silk and one stone! The Yan family also said that if the master is angry, just go find him!"
"Hey, who is still so arrogant!"
Listening to this, Wang Hou really sneered. If it were last year, he might have been unable to do anything. After all, Xuzhou had eaten salt from Shanxi at that time, and it was the only source. However, this year, Cao Jun took Xuzhou in one breath and fought to the beach. He was also a good friend with Guangling Prefect Chen Deng. In a few months, a large amount of Xuzhou sea salt could enter the Xudu battlefield. Even if the price did not increase, Wang Hou might abandon the previous salt merchants. At this critical moment, he would still play price increase with him. It is really a death sentence!!
But Wang Fu's words made Wang Hou raise his eyebrows in surprise.
"Go back to the master, that old slave has investigated it. It is the master's family..., former family, Wang Mi, the commander of the Su Duwei!"
