Li Baolu pushed aside all the gold and silver in front of her, and said happily: "Judging from the income of these three stewards, I think 70% of what we get after copying all of them will definitely not be less than 50,000 taels. This is the result of counting all industries, and if there are only these nine people, I can barely count it as thirty thousand."

Li Baolu drooled and said, "Thirty thousand taels, that's a lot of money."

Gu Jingyun was helpless, "I have never been short of your food and clothing, why do you love money so much?"

"How many people in this world don't love money?" Li Baolu disapproved, "Although I love money, I also get it in a proper way. If they didn't go too far, I would have turned a blind eye and let it go. Their."

Li Baolu took the account book and threw it to him, snorting coldly: "Think I'm a little girl who doesn't know the world and can be deceived casually? The loss and the reasons for the loss seem reasonable and interrelated, but if you look at each item carefully, you will know whether it is true or not. Possibly, unless on purpose."

Gu Jingyun took the account book and looked through it, but didn't take it to heart. Baolu is sensitive to numbers, and her spells are better than him. If she said there was a problem, then there must be a problem. Everyone has nothing to do with each other, as long as you keep an eye on the steward's family, but the tenants in the village have many long-term workers, if the steward's family entangles them, can the people you send calm them down?"

"Don't worry," Li Baolu said triumphantly: "I thought about it a long time ago. I asked them to go in the name of inspection and visit. When I went, I asked about the land rent first. I have already thought about it. This year, I will only charge 20% of the land rent, and the permanent wages Add three times, those tenant farmers and long-term workers are not stupid, they first got the news and knew that they were going to check the accounts, and I am afraid that they will help arrest people together for meritorious service."

Gu Jingyun sighed, "Twenty percent..."

Li Baolu nodded, "The Zhongyonghou's Mansion has always received 50%, but I have directly reduced it by three-fifths. I have done the calculations, and there is still a lot left after the expenses for seeds and farm tools we spent."

There is also a reason for the landlord’s high rent, because the seeds planted by the tenant farmers are purchased by them, and if the farm equipment is severely damaged, the landlord has to make up for it.

Of course, people like Zhongyonghou’s Mansion do this, but there are always landlords who save money and get more. The tenants have to pay for the seeds and farm tools themselves, and in the end they still collect more than 50% of the land rent.

It is indeed unfortunate for tenant farmers to encounter such landlords.

Li Baolu felt that she was a very good landlord, with 20% of the land rent including seeds and farm tools, so she was the only one in Mandachu.

Gu Jingyun just liked to see her triumphant appearance, and after watching it, he said: "Your uncle and the others are coming soon," Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "I learned at the Prince's Mansion today that they have entered Baoding today, and they will arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow , have you rented the house I asked you to rent?"

"No more renting," Li Baolu found a house deed from the box, and said with a nod: "The second courtyard in Liu'er Hutong is temporarily lent to them."

Gu Jingyun nodded, "It's cheaper for us."

"That's right, we didn't have a single penny when we were separated from the Gu family, but this ransacking of the house directly led us from poverty to riches. This sudden wealth, it turns out that ransacking the house is the most profitable way."

"This kind of thing can never happen again," Gu Jingyun glanced at her and said, "Don't forget your shape."

"Yeah," Li Baolu nodded fiercely, "I'm a modest and good boy, I won't get carried away."

The two of them stopped talking about Li Hong, because talking about him would make them feel bad, and thinking that they could see him in two days at most, they would feel upset, but as long as they thought that she had fulfilled her promise to her grandmother, rehabilitated the Li family, and made the Li family feel happy. She was happy again when her bloodline left Qiongzhou.

She stared blankly at the gold and silver on the kang and on the table, the Li family had nothing, even if they returned to the Li family in Shunde, their property might not come back, instead of relying on others, it is better to rely on themselves.

Looks like she'll have to give them a fresh start as well.

But this is not difficult, they have passed the most difficult stage, haven't they?

It's just that they don't know when uncle and the others will be able to leave Qiongzhou. The young couple cuddle up to each other and miss their family members who are far away in Qiongzhou.

The two of them looked at the moon outside the window at the same time, Li Baolu said in a low voice, "At least the moon we see is the same one, I guess Niuniu must be asking uncle to tell her a story now."

In the Qin Mansion in Qiongzhou, Niu Niu was grabbing her father's beard and yelling vaguely, "Brother, sister—"

Qin Xinfang had no choice but to show her the portraits of Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu, and corrected her again: "It's Daddy and Mother!"

Niuniu raised her little head, clenched her fists and shouted at him angrily, "Brother, sister!"

Then he pointed at He Zipei and said, "Mother," and poked Qin Xinfang's nose again, "Daddy!"

He Zipei's eyes were moist when he heard this address, he hugged her and said to Qin Xinfang: "Forget it, she is still young, she will be taught when she is older."

Qin Xinfang was neither sore nor hurt, but insisted: "No, children accept death, if you don't teach them now, you won't be able to teach them in the future."

Niu Niu is already one and a half years old, she can walk and run, and she can chase after them and call "Daddy, Mother". Qin Xinfang loves her more and more, and she is more and more reluctant to bear her suffering.

He looked at his delicate and weak daughter, and couldn't help but think of their eldest daughter who lived to be three years old. He asked awkwardly, "Are you willing to let her live in this place for the rest of her life? As a criminal!"

Tears fell from He Zipei's eyes, and he covered his lips and was speechless.

How could she be willing?

Although Jing Yun vowed before leaving that he would find a way to rescue them, but this matter is too difficult. They are adults, not children, so naturally they have to think about the consequences of not being rehabilitated.

They had already agreed that Niuniu would be the child of Jingyun and Baolu if they could not be rehabilitated. When they proposed this idea, they were still a little complacent, thinking that there was nothing wrong with them staying in Qiongzhou. Anyway, the children are good citizens and can leave just fine.

But now that Niu Niu is growing up, she is getting cuter and cuter. If she doesn't see her for half an hour, she will have to think about it, not to mention that they are separated from each other and cannot recognize each other.

Sometimes she feels that there is nothing wrong with the crime, at least they are together as a family, but when she wakes up, she can't help but beat herself rationally, how can it be good, this is Qiongzhou, this is the crime Ah, doesn't she know what life the criminals in Qiongzhou live?

It's only because the Qin family has external support that they can live so well.

But the so-called goodness is nothing more than worrying about food and clothing, and it is far inferior to good citizens who travel freely and have rich entertainment activities.

How could she bind her daughter here because of her own selfishness?

She would hate herself to death!

He Zipei pushed away the daughter in his arms, held her by the shoulders, pointed to Gu Jingyun on the portrait and said, "This is your father, I, I am your aunt," then pointed to Li Baolu's portrait and said, "This is your Mother."

Niuniu stared blankly at the person in the portrait, then at her mother, and burst into tears decisively, holding her neck while crying, refusing to recognize the person in the portrait.

Now Qin Xinfang felt distressed, and quickly hugged her daughter to coax her: "Forget it, forget it, I will teach tomorrow, I am tired today, let's go to bed first."

Qin Wenyin outside the house bit her lip, tears fell drop by drop, Bai Yitang frowned, "Why are you crying?"

Qin Wenyin turned her head away, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and said to him apologetically, "I made Mr. Bai laugh."

"Niu Niu is just a child, and you don't take her out of the village. Even if you call Mr. Qin your father, it's not a big deal. Why are you so harsh?" Bai Yitang was a little displeased, "You teach her like this, and she can't see Jing Yun. And Baolu, there might be even more chaos in the future."

Qin Wenyin shook her head, looked at the family of three on the window paper and said: "If you don't do it carefully, you will fail. There are too many people who want to kill our Qin family. Niu Niu and Jing Yun are the only blood of the Qin family. They must not Error."

Bai Yitang curled his lips, "If you are worried, I will take her to Jingyun and Baolu, let them raise her, find her any identity, pick it up, and adopt it from Yushantang, here in Qiongzhou It’s enough to tell people that the child dies, so why do we need to take so many precautions?”

"..." Qin Wenyin said after a while: "My elder brother and sister-in-law are reluctant to part with her, and the child is still young, so it's better for her biological parents to raise her."

After hesitating for a while, Qin Wenyin couldn't help asking him curiously, "Can Mr. Bai leave Qiongzhou?"

"Is it difficult to leave Qiongzhou?" Bai Yitang asked curiously: "I have left several times, and it was easy."

So why on earth are you willing to live in Sin Village in Qiongzhou?

Of course, it's because there is no vendetta here, and no one troubles him. Of course, the more important reason is that he took in an apprentice eleven years ago, which made him unable to leave even if he wanted to.

But his apprentice is no longer in Qiongzhou, Bai Yitang stroked his chin and wondered if he should go to play with his apprentice.

Glancing at Qin Wenyin out of the corner of his eye, Bai Yitang slapped the idea to death, forget it, he promised his apprentice to take care of the Qin family, so it's not easy to break his promise.

"Mrs. Qin, it's getting late, I'll take you home." Although it's not cold at night in Qiongzhou, but Qin Wenyin's body is so weak, what if she gets sick because of the night wind and dew?

Baolu was no longer in Qiongzhou, and they had to travel a day to the county town to see a doctor.

Bai Yitang forcefully sent Qin Wenyin back to rest, while Qin Xinfang and his wife in the room were sweating profusely to comfort the daughter, and gently put her sleeping on the bed.

The child cried a little hard just now, and even sobbed from time to time when he fell asleep, the couple felt distressed.

Qin Xinfang's complexion changed again and again, and finally said in a low voice: "How about I write a poem and send it to Tonghe?"

Chen Tong, whose name is Tonghe, is Qin Xinfang's best friend. For more than ten years, he has been sending things to Qiongzhou. Sending poems to him is no different from publishing them.

He Zipei and her husband are connected by heart, and as soon as he said it, she understood that he wanted to succumb to the emperor. Jing Yun said that the emperor was getting older and more and more nostalgic, so he took good care of him.

When it comes to old love, who can be suitable for Qin Xinfang?

He Zipei really didn't want her husband to be insulted like this. How proud were they when they left Beijing? But looking down at his sleeping daughter, He Zipei finally nodded.

For their daughter, for her, they would endure any hardship and humiliation.
