Seeing Su Si's beautiful eyes blinking, Zhao Hao said softly: "Miss Su, since there is no problem with you, then come with me to the first floor."
Su Si was stunned: "Master, are you going over now?"
Zhao Hao nodded: "Go over now. I have other things to do today. I need to take Lao Zhong away."
Su Si understood: "Okay, then follow the master's arrangements!"
Zhao Hao took Su Si and the maid Xiao Hong and set off immediately, came out of the house and went straight to the first floor.
After having breakfast on the first floor, Wang Mengyu and Zheng Zhiqian arrived not long after.
Zhao Hao announced in public that Su Si succeeded Lao Zhong and became the new shopkeeper on the first floor.
Of course no one would have any objections.
I don’t dare to say anything if I have an opinion.
Then Zhao Hao took Wang Mengyu, Zheng Zhiqian, and Lao Zhong, and the four of them went directly to the Huangzhuang.
When the imperial edict of his knighthood came down yesterday, the edict was naturally conveyed to the Imperial Mansion as soon as possible.
Granting imperial estates to ministers or to the royal family are relatively routine operations.
The servants guarding the Imperial Manor also knew what to do.
Therefore, after the four people arrived, the person in charge immediately handed over the land deed and account book.
There is also the household registration in Zhuangzi.
Zhao Hao looked carefully and found that there were more than 5,000 households in each imperial village.
The largest one has 6,700 households.
Based on an average of five people per household, the population in the three imperial villages is conservatively over 80,000.
Huangzhuang was placed under Zhao Hao's name, and these tenant farmers naturally became his.
After walking through the last village, Zhao Hao summoned all the dozens of people in charge of the three villages.
In the discussion hall of the Third Village, Zhao Hao sat at the top.
Behind him stood Wang Mengyu, Zheng Zhiqian, and Lao Zhong.
Standing below were thirty or forty main persons in charge of the three major Zhuangzi.
Zhao Hao took a sip of tea and pointed at the account books piled next to him like a mountain.
"From today on, you and the tens of thousands of people in the three villages will all have to eat under me, Zhao Hao!"
"I know that you people in charge are the emperors of the earth."
"I'm afraid these account books won't stand up to any careful inspection..."
When Zhao Hao said this, one of the people in charge of Zhuangzi immediately stood up.
This man was not tall, and looked to be in his forties. He was as fat as a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered during the Chinese New Year.
However, the most iconic thing about this person is not his fat body, but his eyes.
The eyes are small, not much bigger than a soybean grain.
Coupled with obesity, it is almost as if he is growing to death.
"Sir, I don't understand the other two Zhuangzis, but there is absolutely no problem with the Zhuangzi I manage."
"If your lordship doesn't believe it, you can send someone who knows the accounts to come and investigate carefully!"
This fat man was the person in charge of the first Zhuangzi that Zhao Hao took over.
His name is Luo Bi.
When Zhao Hao heard this, he immediately smiled and nodded: "Well, it's rare for Manager Luo to be so confident, so that's good!"
"As stewards, you must have such confidence."
"It's clear and clear, it's clear!"
"Everyone here must learn from Manager Luo in the future!"
When he took over the first Zhuangzi, Zhao Hao had already discovered that Luo Bi was really powerful.
Normally, Zhao Hao's arrival today should be extremely sudden.
And he came in person, not by sending servants from his family.
But even so, Luo Bi dealt with everything in an orderly manner during the whole process.
Whether it is account books, household registration, or land conditions, what crops are grown in the entire village and how they are growing.
Whenever Zhao Hao asked, Luo Bi could answer fluently.
It was obvious that everything was in his mind and not something he had just memorized on the fly.
Moreover, when the tenant farmers in the village saw him, they all took the initiative to say hello.
It shows that this person really managed Zhuangzi very well.
Hearing Zhao Hao's statement, the two people in charge of Zhuangzi looked at each other and spoke quickly.
The second person in charge of Zhuangzi, Li Yong, said: "Sir, the Zhuangzi I am in charge of also has no problems. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to check the accounts!"
Kong Weiqing, the third person in charge of Zhuangzi, also said anxiously: "Sir, the same goes for the Zhuangzi I manage. If you are worried, Sir, you can send someone to check the accounts!"
When Zhao Hao heard this, he immediately became happy, and then nodded with a smile.
"Okay, since Director Li and Director Kong both have requirements for auditing the accounts, I will satisfy you."
"Old Zhong, when you go home, call more accountants over and conduct a careful inspection of Manager Li and Manager Kong's Zhuangzi."
Li Yong and Kong Weiqing were dumbfounded when they heard this.
Both of their faces turned ugly.
You kid doesn't play by the rules?
Luo Bi said so, but you didn’t investigate.
If we say so, you have to check it, right?
Looking at the two people's expressions that were even uglier than crying, Zhao Hao waved his hands and said:
"Two stewards, you may not know me, Zhao Hao, yet."
"But I advise you, it's best not to treat me as a fool."
"I can ignore Zhuangzi's previous accounts, so you don't have to worry about me actually checking them."
"However, from today on, I will set rules. If you violate my rules, there will be nothing to say."
"No matter who is behind you, they can never save your lives."
These people can become the leaders of Huangzhuang, of course they all have connections behind them.
And there must be royalty behind it.
As soon as Zhao Hao finished speaking, everyone immediately looked at each other with their own thoughts.
Zhao Hao didn't care, his eyes fell on Luo Bi.
"Master Luo, how about you take me to your village for lunch?"
Luo Bi said quickly: "Your Majesty, it is Luo's honor to show you your face!"
The group of people immediately surrounded Zhao Hao and headed towards Zhuangzi, which was in charge of Luo Bi.
Looking at their leaving figures, Li Yong and Kong Weiqing suddenly frowned.
Kong Weiqing snorted: "Brother Li, this Zhao Hao seems to be quite impatient. The imperial edict was issued just yesterday, but he actually came to take over Zhuangzi today!"
"And those words just now were obviously hitting both of us!"
Li Yong said calmly: "So what? He doesn't dare to really replace us. Although Zhuangzi is in his hands, can he survive without us?"
"Aren't you going to leave it to us to take care of in the end?"
"Don't worry, you and I don't have to worry about our positions. We will make the accounts more beautiful when the time comes."
"How can he, a young boy, tell anything?"
When Kong Weiqing heard this, he couldn't help but smile and nodded.
"Brother Li can clearly see that this Zhuangzi is his, but this Zhuangzi is also ours!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Zhuangzi, who was in charge of Luo Bi, was immediately taken in after Zhao Hao and his party arrived.
Luo Bi also quickly ordered the people below to prepare lunch.
Zhao Hao waved his hand towards the other party: "Master Luo, please sit down and talk."
Luo Bi nodded and sat down at the bottom.
Zhao Hao said: "Director Luo seems to be dissatisfied that I didn't go into details about Director Li and Director Kong just now!"
