Steward He stood up from the chair calmly and said: "Master, this matter was caused by He's poor supervision. He is willing to resign from the position of steward in the mansion and donate five hundred taels of silver to make up for the loss of the young master."
After hearing this, Hu Changan nodded lightly.
Five hundred taels of silver is almost the amount of money He Guanshi has been greedy for over the years.
Guan He is quite sensible, so let's save him some face.
Of course, when a group of people are fired, a group of people must be promoted.
Hu Changan turned to look at the boy standing beside him and said, "Laifu, you will be in charge of the farm from now on."
Although Laifu had just arrived at Hu Mansion not long ago, he was smart, knew how to get things done, and most importantly, he was loyal to himself.
The last time he fell from his horse, Laifu was beside Hu Changan.
If he hadn't helped him, Hu Changan would have died long ago.
"Yes!" Laifu was immediately excited.
To be promoted from a young boy to the general manager of a farm can be said to be a step to the top.
When Laifu looked at Hu Changan's eyes, he felt extremely grateful.
Follow the young master and you will have meat to eat!
"Shopkeeper Chen, from now on you can take over the job of manager He," Hu Changan ordered calmly.
"yes!"
When the rest of the people saw this, they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in their hearts. They all watched with eyes, nose, nose and heart, not daring to say a word.
Young Master, things are indeed very different from before.
In a few words, he exposed the conspiracy of several shopkeepers and used thunderous methods. It was not easy.
The little thoughts that some people had hidden in their hearts were also extinguished.
At this point, the storm has finally subsided.
At this time, the whole Hu family was in harmony as never before.
...
It's another early morning.
Hu Changan woke up slowly listening to the crisp chirping of birds and stretched out.
Phew, it's still comfortable to live in your own home.
Although the palace was gorgeous, there were so many rules and regulations that Hu Changan always felt bored.
After being dressed and washed by several maids, Hu Changan took Manager Zhang and Manager Chen, who was newly promoted yesterday, to go to Yahang (firm) to buy someone.
According to Hu Changan's future business plan, the existing people in Hu's mansion are definitely not enough.
And when people buy it, they must be trained.
Instead of rushing to prepare for the situation, it is better to plan ahead and identify the characters early.
Anyway, Hu Changan's soap business is getting bigger and bigger now, and it's no problem to have more servants.
Along the lively streets, Hu Changan and others walked leisurely and looked around, and came to the largest dental store in Yingtian City.
As soon as they entered the door, an enthusiastic waiter came up to them and greeted Hu Changan and his party with a smile on his face: "Hello, distinguished guests, what do you want to buy?"
"We want to buy some servants from the mansion."
"Okay, okay, our shop just got a batch of official slaves yesterday. Whether they are strong men or delicate little girls, we have them all here. We have all the services including the contract of sale and so on. I guarantee your satisfaction.
.”
As the boy spoke, he led Hu Changan diligently to the side hall of Yahang. Inside, there was a row of people kneeling on their knees, all of whom were slaves for sale.
When Hu Changan saw this, he couldn't help but feel sad.
In ancient times, human life was not really valuable, and living people could be bought and sold at will like commodities.
But this is the social system of ancient times, and it cannot be changed for a while. We can only adapt to it.
Hu Changan looked at them for a moment, pointed out a few men who looked honest and honest, and sent Manager Zhang to go through the formalities.
After buying the servant, Hu Changan said to the boy at Yahang: "I wonder if you have any land for sale here?"
"Hey, there's everything, there's everything, there's plenty of good fields." When the boy saw a fat sheep coming, he couldn't help but laugh so hard that his teeth couldn't be seen.
"Do you have any flat open space here? No fields, just wasteland."
"Ah..." The boy suddenly had a problem.
Nowadays, nine out of ten people who come here want to buy land. How come there are people who want to buy wasteland instead of good land?
The boy thought hard for a long time before he managed to pull out a piece of land from his mind and quickly replied: "My lord, there is a piece of wasteland in the west of the city. Do you want to see it? But that piece of land is a bit far away from Yingtian City, I guess.
The carriage ride takes more than an hour."
"Okay." Hu Changan waved his hand and prepared to follow the boy to take a look.
After all, Hu Changan bought this land with the intention of building a factory. As long as the land is big enough and it is not farmland, everything will be easy.
After getting on the horse brought by the young man from Yaxing, Hu Changan and Manager Chen galloped towards the west of Yingtian City under the guidance of the young man.
After walking for a while, Hu Changan felt that his butt was about to fall apart. The boy finally slowed down his horse, pointed to an open space in front of him and said: "Here, sir, it's right here. At the foot of the mountain, there are twine threads."
This fenced land.”
Hu Changan dragged his painful buttocks off his horse and looked at the land in front of him.
It's said to be a wasteland, but it really is a wasteland.
The ground is overgrown with weeds and rocks, and the twine used for marking is crooked and hidden in the grass. You can't really see it unless you look carefully.
But the land is big enough.
Hu Changan made a rough estimate and found that the land was at least ten acres long and could be seen at a glance. It looked like good material for a factory.
Hu Changan nodded with satisfaction, mounted his horse and said to the young man: "Yes, I want this piece of land. How much money will it cost?"
"Guest, this is wasteland. One acre of land only costs one tael of silver. This land totals eleven acres, which means it costs eleven taels of silver." The boy replied respectfully.
"Okay, let's go back and complete the formalities." Hu Changan said cheerfully.
So, the group of people walked towards Yingtian City along the way they came.
...
When he returned to Yahang, Hu Changan was completely paralyzed.
Huh, this horse riding is really not something humans do. It is better to use cars in later generations. Motion sickness is better than bumping around on a horse.
Hu Changan forced himself to maintain his posture and sat down on the soft chair in Yixing, almost losing control of his facial expressions.
"Sir, do you plan to sign the land deed today, or come back later?" The young man asked Hu Changan attentively, bringing a cup of hot tea.
"Just for today." Hu Changan took a sip of hot tea to calm down.
Since I can't walk now, I might as well rest in Yahang and sign the land deed.
"Hey, okay, I'll call the owner of the land." The boy smiled enthusiastically, turned around and walked out of the side hall quickly.
Huh, how come everyone is riding a horse, and they can still run around like nothing is wrong, but I am paralyzed directly. It seems that I need to exercise more.
Hu Changan thought with some frustration.
While Hu Changan was waiting for someone, he was chatting with Manager Chen about the soap business.
When the conversation was getting interesting, a voice suddenly came from the door: "Hey, it turns out you want to buy this land from me."
