Seeing Su Si's beautiful eyes blinking, Zhao Hao said softly: "Miss Su, since there is no problem on your side, then follow me to the first floor."
Su Si was stunned: "Sir, are we going over now?"
Zhao Hao nodded: "Let's go now. I have other things to do today, so I need to take Lao Zhong with me."
Su Si understood: "Okay, then I'll follow your arrangements!"
Zhao Hao immediately set out with Su Si and his maid Xiaohong, leaving the mansion and going to the first floor.
We had breakfast on the first floor, and soon Wang Mengyu and Zheng Zhiqian arrived.
Zhao Hao announced in public that Su Si would replace Lao Zhong and become the new manager of the First Floor.
Of course, no one had any objection.
I don't dare to express my opinions.
Then Zhao Hao took Wang Mengyu, Zheng Zhiqian, and Lao Zhong, and the four of them went directly to the imperial farm outside the city.
When the imperial edict conferring the title on him came down yesterday, the decree was naturally conveyed to the imperial estate at the first opportunity.
Granting imperial farms to ministers or royal family members was a relatively common practice.
The servants guarding the imperial farm also knew what to do.
So, when the four people arrived, the person in charge immediately handed over the title deed and account book.
There is also the household registration in the village.
Zhao Hao looked carefully and found that there were more than three thousand households in each imperial farm.
The largest one has 6,700 households.
Assuming that there are five people in each household on average, the three imperial estates had a conservative population of 70,000 to 80,000 people.
The imperial farm was transferred to Zhao Hao's name, and these tenant farmers naturally became his.
After visiting the last village, Zhao Hao summoned dozens of persons in charge of the three villages.
In the meeting hall of the third village, Zhao Hao sat at the top seat.
Standing behind him were Wang Mengyu, Zheng Zhiqian, and Lao Zhong.
Standing below were thirty or forty main leaders of the three major estates.
Zhao Hao took a sip of tea and pointed to the account books piled up like a mountain next to him.
"From today on, you and the tens of thousands of people in the three villages will all eat at my feet!"
"I know that you leaders are local tyrants."
"I'm afraid these account books won't stand up to any scrutiny..."
When Zhao Hao said this, the person in charge of one of the manors below immediately stood up.
The man was not tall, and looked to be in his forties. He was as fat as a 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 soybeans.
Coupled with obesity, it looks like he is about to die.
"Sir, I don't know much about the other two manors, but there is absolutely no problem with the manor I manage."
"If you don't believe me, you can send someone who knows the accounts to investigate carefully!"
This fat man was the person in charge of the first manor that Zhao Hao took over.
His name is Luo Bi.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hao smiled and nodded.
"Well, it's rare for Manager Luo to be so confident. That's great!"
"As managers, you should have this kind of confidence."
"It's clear and transparent!"
"Everyone present here, you must learn from Manager Luo in the future!"
When taking over the first manor, Zhao Hao had already discovered that Luo Bi was indeed quite powerful.
Normally speaking, Zhao Hao's arrival today should have been extremely sudden.
And he came in person, not sending his servants.
But even so, Luo Bi managed everything in an orderly manner throughout the entire process.
Whether it is the account books, household registration, or the land situation, what crops are planted in the entire village and how they are growing.
Whenever Zhao Hao asked questions, Luo Bi could answer fluently.
It was obvious that everything was in his mind, not something he memorized at the last minute.
Moreover, the tenant farmers in the village would take the initiative to greet him when they saw him.
This shows that this person really manages Zhuangzi very well.
Hearing what Zhao Hao said, the heads of the two nearby manors looked at each other and quickly spoke.
Li Yong, the person in charge of the second manor, said: "Sir, there is no problem with the manor I manage either. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to check the accounts!"
The third manor manager, Kong Weiqing, also said anxiously: "Sir, the manor I manage is the same. If you are worried, you can send someone to check the accounts!"
Zhao Hao was immediately happy, and then nodded with a smile.
"Okay, since both Manager Li and Manager Kong have requested to check the accounts, then I will satisfy you."
"Old Zhong, go home and call some accountants to come over and check the farms of Manager Li and Manager Kong carefully."
When Li Yong and Kong Weiqing heard this, they were dumbfounded.
Both of them looked grim.
Aren’t you playing by the rules?
Luo Bi said so, so you don't investigate.
If we say so, you will check it, right?
Looking at the two people's expressions which were uglier than crying, Zhao Hao waved his hands.
"Two managers, you may not know me, Zhao Hao."
"But I advise you not to treat me as a fool."
"I don't care about the old accounts on the farm, and you don't need to worry about me really checking the accounts."
"But starting today, I will set the rules. If you break my rules, there will be nothing to say."
"No matter who is behind you, your life will never be saved."
Of course, these people are able to become the persons in charge of the imperial farm because they have connections behind them.
And there must be a royal family behind it.
As soon as Zhao Hao finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.
