"See the prince."

Li Yi bowed and stood up straight, not very respectful.

"Oh, Mr. Li, please come into the house and sit in the house." Xu Zixian did not wear a public uniform and changed into a homely robe. He reached out to do a hand gesture and asked Li Yi to sit in the study.

Li Yi looked at the books placed in front of Xu Zixian's desk and asked, "Is the prince reading Zhaoming's selection?"

"Looking at it, I've actually been putting my hands on it." Xu Zixian smiled and said, "It's like a peacock spreading her tail, and it always reveals its gorgeous side... Actually, I'm reading the Loyalty Water Margin recently."

Li Yi couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

"The prince is such a witty word." Li Yi suddenly showed a contemplative look on his face and said slowly: "I don't know if it's an illusion of a lower official. Since the prince was confused, he was confused for a while, but later he changed a little. He was open-minded and cheerful, and he often had witty words. He also acted very well and had perseverance, which was very different from before."

Xu Zi was silent for a while and said slowly: "If a person does not encounter some difficulties, it may be difficult for him to grow... Half a year ago, Mr. Li would not come to me to chat, and I did not have the mood and desire to chat with Mr. Li."

If Li Yi thought about it carefully, he would understand that a few months ago, he would not have the intention to sit here and chat with Xu Zixian? A playboy, full of noble spirit, a spoiled boy... Although he had not done any serious evil things at a young age, the popularity of the market was not good. How could Li Yi pretend to be Xu Zixian?

The position of Fengchang is an official appointed by the court, who is in the seventh rank. In addition to presiding over the daily affairs of the Marquis' Mansion, he must also be responsible to the court and receive official salary from the court. This is an old custom in the Han Dynasty. The Marquis' State had a prime minister. Li Yi, the Fengchang, was the Marquis' State in the Han Dynasty.

In addition to Fengchang, there are also Dianwei, the commander of the marquis, the guards and guests, who are responsible for the welcome and sending them. These three official positions are checked by the Ministry of Personnel of the court, and can be transferred to the office, all of which are from the seventh rank, and the salary is also paid by the court.

The officials and village affairs were appointed by the Marquis’ Office. The Ministry of Personnel was a record of the officials and was considered an order official. However, the salary was paid by the Marquis’ Office.

There is also a clerk in the account of the marquis and the official account of the marquis’s mansion, and he is also a clerk in the official account.

The treasurer is also an official.

Passers and deputy travelers are all officials.

The Hou Mansion will follow the system, and there are 100 people in the capital, the eighth rank, and the two whistle chiefs are from the ninth rank, which is also paid by the state.

The Yidu Ya general is recruited and appointed by the Marquis' Mansion, and of course the salary is also paid by the Marquis' Mansion itself.

This is far less than that of civil officials. The prime minister Yuan followed a hundred people, the general manager of the dynasty was 70 people, and the Privy Councilor Yuan followed a seventy people, all of which were paid by the court.

There are only Fengchang, Dianwei, Guest, Dutou, and Chief of the Sweeping House in the Hou Mansion.

Xu Zixian had to have enough food and clothing himself, so how could he raise so many idle people? He could only keep a dozen or sophomore generals in the Marquis' Mansion. That was to protect the Marquis' Mansion and the Nan'an Marquis' Clan Temple. In addition, the silver seal of the Marquis' guarding Marquis. Once the seal is lost, the ancestral temple will be destroyed and theft will be a serious crime to eliminate the title and destroy the country.

Xu Zixian said again: "Mr. Li was worried when he came in just now?"

Li Yi looked at Xu Zixian with interest. Xu Zixian now really feels interesting...

"The salary of the official village is collected once a month." Li Yi lowered his eyes and was calm, but he was obviously worried. He said slowly: "This month, he collected 12,500 yuan, but the Marquis's expenses were more than 87,000 yuan. The deficit is too great, and it will be difficult to maintain this."

At that time, the price was expensive and the silver was cheap. Xu Zixian knew that silver had not yet become a formal currency at this time. The circulating currency in the imperial court was still mainly copper coins, and there were also a small amount of iron coins and paper money, that is, Jiaozi. Silk cloth and silk also have the function of goods and were quite popular with people. However, this kind of thing was a luxury and ordinary people in the people could not use it.

You should know that people also have to spend tens of cents a day, and more than 1,500 cents a month.

Xu Zixian was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Li knew that we were trying to save money as much as possible... and tried not to use many people, but there were places to use money for monthly money, rewards, daily meals, clothes, hats, shoes and socks."

Xu Zi first looked at Li Yi and said, "I am a fourth-rank general. I am a marquis who is waiting for the title of the clan. When it comes to this, I am very ashamed."

"What the prince said is."

"I'm going to try my best." Xu Zixian said suddenly: "Does Li Gong know about the exemption from official positions, the money for the official and the money for the hidden households?"

Li Yi looked at Xu Zixian and said, "The officials knew it, but the accounts of the government bank were relatively chaotic. Before, when the Marquis was alive, he thought about checking the accounts, but later the incident was defeated by Qizhou, and it was left alone."

Xu Zixian tapped his finger on the table and said, "It is still abominable to hate slaves and bully the master. Tolerating indulgence and not being enterprising, this is our fault."

Li Yi was originally just a casual conversation with Xu Zixian. He had something else tonight, but when he said this, seeing Xu Zixian's attitude and hearing this conversation, he also said solemnly: "If you have any advice from the prince, please speak out."

Xu Zi smiled and said, "Mr. Li is planning to resign from his post?"

Li Yizheng said, "Why did the prince say that?"

"I haven't seen Mr. Li for more than ten days, and I heard Xu Ming say Mr. Li sent five or six letters in a row?"

Li Yi was quite shocked. He wrote some private messages asking him to plan for him in the Northern Prefecture in the same year. Unexpectedly, Xu Zixian is so keen and observant now.

Li Yi immediately bowed and smiled bitterly: "The officials have not drunk water from their hometown for twenty years. They are really homesick... They also want to ask the prince to fulfill his wish."

Xu Zi pursed his lips first and said, "The Marquis' Mansion is a man who is in charge of the marquis's office. After overwork, he can be recommended to be appointed as an official. Now that my father has passed away, I am not worth enough, and I don't know when I will be able to be replenished as a marquis. Mr. Li is a little anxious... Until now, the guests of the Marquis' Mansion have not yet replenished people. Except for the monthly official account, the money from the hidden households, the money from the end of the year, and the money from the labor service, all of which are called Li Cheng's greed. After my father's death, Li Cheng and others bullied the master, joined forces to hold the account book, which was very rude. If I want to do a big thing, I will inherit my father and grandfather Yu Lie and serve the country, so I have to get rid of this trick slave. The ancients said, "How can I clean up the world if I don't clean up a house? I hope Mr. Li can help me. You and me can achieve a legendary career."

Xu Zi stood up first, poured a glass of water for the stunned Li Yi, and said with a smile: "Sorry, Mr. Li, I don't like tea soup, there is only white water here."

Li Yi subconsciously took the cup, took a sip, and accidentally choked, making her chest full of water stains.

"The official is rude." Li Yi put down his cup and sighed: "If there was no detailed discussion tonight, the official really wouldn't know that the prince actually had a hill and a valley, and the official was far from enough."

"Mr. Li is my father's orphanage." Xu Zixian smiled slightly and said, "It's okay to make a fuss when I was a teenager, but I'm going to be the best. I have to inherit the family business and do the things I have in my hands better. This is how I can get my father."

Xu Zixian pondered again: "The good things and enjoyment in the world are endless, and people want to get a lot. Sometimes desires and abilities do not match, which is the greatest pain."

Li Yi was stunned for a long time and nodded, "Of course, but most people in the world are like this."

"I also want to get more. Not only can I inherit the title, but I can also revive my family business, even stronger than my ancestors." Xu Zixian looked at Li Yi and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Li was born as a juren, and his knowledge and ethics are admired by me. He is also a close friend of my father for many years and my uncle. I wonder if Mr. Li can stay and help me? If Mr. Li is in a dilemma, at least after I go to Beijing to attend the trial, if Mr. Li cannot inherit the title, then Mr. Li can do it himself."

Xu Zixian really wanted to keep Li Yi. He knew Li Yi very well, even surpassed Li Yi himself. In the 19th year of Chongde, the Donghu people broke through the pass and swept the way. Li Yi spent all his family wealth in Daming Mansion to recruit strong men to guard the city. He fought to the death and died. He died and died. All his family members died for their country. The so-called "bangdang" knew loyal ministers. Such a person is worth working hard to stay.

"Since that's the case, then the magistrate will be left until the crown prince gets the crown." Li Yi is not a pretentious person. He is also very curious about Xu Zixian now, wanting to know how far this young man who has not won the crown can do... Li Yi has seen two generations of Nan'an Marquis, and they are all ordinary. Could it be that the ordinary of several generations should be in front of the young man?

"I don't know how the prince will start?" Li Yi was quite curious and also had the intention of taking Xu Zixian.

Xu Zixian pondered: "To do things, the first thing is to gain people and talents, so that you can show some development. Now the Hou Mansion is insufficient in expenses and dare not hire people, but the staff is insufficient in order to show it..."

Li Yi was finally moved! In fact, there were two princes in Fuzhou, five dukes, and more than ten marquis' mansions. The princes and dukes of each clan are the best at the first level, with great official positions, dignity, and certain power. Therefore, after several generations, even if they are not rich enough to compete with the country, they are rich in family resources. It is easy to do things with money and can easily hire effective helpers.

If the marquis is at the level of marquis, if the population is prosperous, many of them are civil and military officials, their families can generally remain prosperous, and after they are removed from the royal family, they can still be local gentry clans.

In Fuzhou Prefecture, there are at least dozens of such families. They have emerged from the royal family and maintained a considerable political status and have a certain wealth. There are many officials in the family who are called "national families".

The Marquis of Nan'an was born in three generations. The previous generation Xu Yingbin was just two brothers. The other one had passed away and had no children. Xu Yingbin only had one son and one daughter. His family was weak and he had no respect for his elders. Of course, he had no helpers and could not obtain political power. He naturally seemed to be in a weak position. The marquis of the clan was just a guarantee of his status. If he wanted to get more, he needed more helpers to obtain more resources.

"The prince is only seventeen years old..." Li Yi sighed. This time he looked at him with admiration, and his eyelids were about to scrape off.

"The family members of this mansion are thin and cannot be trusted." Xu Zixian said calmly, "Only by asking more talents to come here to help, talented people can do things. Otherwise, it will be just a talk on paper."

"What kind of talent does the prince want now?"

"First, we need to make up for the Dianwei, which is the most important thing. Second, we need to make up for the official account of the Secretariat..."

The Dianwei leads the troops from the Marquis’ Mansion to protect the wings and left and right. If there are thieves, they will attack them.

The tent officials, as if they are not of rank, are actually quite useful in the current situation. Without such figures, it is easy to get rid of the nameless.

Li Yi said: "I didn't think of a reliable and capable person, and a strong martial artsman, I remember one of the officials of the Sishu and Accountants."
