Since the Angel Han Xizai completed the first mission to promulgate, he began to carry out the second important thing, to welcome King Zheng back to Beijing.

Speaking of which, Li Yuan and the other end of the court seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. With the previous "true and sincere" letter from King Zheng, and Liu Jiangsheng's vividness in front of the imperial guards, the return of King Zheng to Beijing was a foregone conclusion. The court took out the reward from the national treasury to reward Li Yuan's success and a large number of gold, silver, money and grain for the great victory in the war were also on the way, and soon they would arrive in Langzhou by water.

With the idea of ​​"handing money with one hand and the other", although Li Yuan was lucky enough to succeed, he still gave enough face to the court and readily agreed to Han Xizai's request to visit the hostel and the servant who was anxious all day long. Then he turned around to handle Wu's daily official duties, waiting for the arrival of the chariots and ships that the court escorted money and grain.

In the past few days after returning to Langzhou, Li Yuan had a good life. After handling the business affairs of the Governor's Office, he finally had the time to enjoy the wonderful time with his wives and concubines. He took them to visit the scenic spots and historical sites in Langzhou City. While soothing his body and mind, he could also calm down and consider every step in the future.

Then, after the discussion of adoptive mother Liu and his wife Zhou Ehuang, they finally chose the auspicious day of October 26th. On that day, Li Yuan officially accepted Wang Jingyao and Peng Qingying and came in together as concubines. This is also a major event in the Governor's Office recently.

All the people and the people in the mansion were also actively involved in this matter, just like Wang Jingyao, who was originally the least visible person in the mansion and was the most low-key person. After marriage, he naturally became the focus of attention of the whole family. He was taken care of in every detail. With a formal identity, Li Yuan could naturally enjoy the rain and dew, and often went to visit and care. The state Wang Jingyao showed was of course excited and confused.

This period of time was also the most comfortable and leisurely time that Li Yuan had traveled through time. Sitting on the high position of the Grand Governor of Langzhou, his beautiful wife and concubines were in the house. All the affairs of the entire Wupingjie Town were also going smoothly. Whether as a time traveler or a true person from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, such a life was also considered a successful life.

Of course, this is what outsiders think, but in Li Yuan's opinion, this is far from enough. Because Li Yuan knows that everything about to happen in the future and some of the upcoming changes may easily destroy everything he has, so Li Yuan had to tighten his nerves and actively deal with it.

On October 29th, a problem that must be faced was finally brought to the desktop for discussion.

That night, Liu and Zhou Ehuang suddenly summoned the whole family to discuss the financial affairs at home. Li Yuan, who had ignored the housework, was also asked to participate in the family meeting because this matter was related to what Li Yuan did.

"Today, my mother and I gathered everyone to gather together, with the purpose of telling you something. This matter should not be so mobilized, but my mother and I both think that this matter requires the husband to express his opinion in public, so we ask everyone to come and give a testimony together."

At the beginning of the meeting, Zhou Ehuang, who was the main wife, suddenly made the atmosphere solemn. Everyone in the unknown looked at Zhou Ehuang in confusion.

Li Yuan was holding a tea cup to drink tea, but when he heard this, he was stunned and frowned and said, "What's so serious? It seems to have a lot to do with me."

Zhou Ehuang smiled softly and whispered to Qiu'er.

Qiu'er is Zhou Ehuang's personal maid, and is considered a confidant. Recently, she became the manager of the mansion and has an extraordinary status in the back house. At this time, she hurriedly bowed respectfully to Li Yuan and explained: "Grandmaster, I asked you to get up today with the permission of the old lady."

Liu sat upright in the main seat, nodding kindly with his eyebrows and eyes.

Li Yuan laughed and said, "No need to beat around the bush. If you say anything happens at home, just say it."

Qiu'er smiled awkwardly, reached out to pick up a book from the pile of books placed in front of her, and said, "This is the general account of the inner treasury in the mansion. You can also see it and have a clear idea in your heart."

"Qiu'er, let's not read it. Just say it, is it the matter in the account at home? Let's just listen." Peng Qingying smiled.

"You just say it, you don't need to read the account book. Can we trust you?" Wang Jingyao also smiled.

Qiu'er glanced at Zhou Ehuang, and Zhou Ehuang nodded slightly. Qiu'er coughed and said, "Okay, I'll just say it. I've been valued by the Grand Commander and the Mission's recently, and I'm lucky to be the manager of the mansion, including the affairs of the inner treasury.

There are three gentlemen in our inner warehouse. Generally, money entry and exit requires permission from the old lady and his wife, so the accounts in this regard are very clear.

It has been seven months since the Grand Governor officially arrived in Zhenlangzhou. In March, the money and gold and silver on the books on the treasury were converted into 6.2 million,390 guan. Do you still remember this number?"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "I remember that most of them are the furniture of Ma Xi'e and Liu Yan. Alas, the family's accounting was discussed and decided by the mother and Ehuang. I don't care about the money, but I came to ask me what I did?"

Qiu'er nodded and said, "It's good to remember the Grand Governor. It's better to put more than 6 million guan in any wealthy family. You will never have to worry about food or drink for dozens of lifetimes. These amounts can even support the entire town... I even calculated that our mansion from top to bottom, even if we add more than a thousand mouths of the personal guards in the mansion. Eat, dress and travel, at most it will cost a fraction of the time.

But unexpectedly, the money was spent so quickly. In a blink of an eye, it had already spent millions of guan, especially the cost was huge recently. This page is the money recorded on the books today, and 30,000 guan was withdrawn on the books today."

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

"This is spent too fast."

Everyone was surprised. After only half a year, she had spent so much money. Even Peng Qingying was surprised. You should know that she was Peng Shichou's daughter and Peng Shiyu's sister. She was naturally a rich woman, but she couldn't understand that she spent a million yuan in just a short time.

"The slave and the gentlemen of the accountant have calculated the accounts. The wages and expenses of our family's food, clothing, housing, transportation, maids and servants have never exceeded 3,000 guan. In seven months, the normal expenses we spent in the mansion were less than 25,000 guan. Three thousand guan per month are considered a big deal. If we follow the slave's idea, the monthly expenses in the mansion can be completely controlled within 2,000 guan.

But the Grand Governor once said, spending money should not be too tight. After all, we are a big family, and we don’t have money. Even if we use it openly, we have never saved money in terms of cost at home. But in this situation, I have to raise this matter. If this continues, I am afraid it will not work." Qiu'er lowered her head and said.

"Qiu'er, since our cost is not more than 25,000 guan, why did we spend million guan on the book in the first half of the year? This is wrong." Peng Qingying frowned.

Qiu'er dared not touch her. Zhou Ehuang hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Yuan and said, "I'm going to ask the husband about this matter. Today I want to raise this matter for everyone to judge."

Li Yuan pointed to his nose and said, "Is it my business? I don't seem to have spent a lot of money. Although I am the chief governor, I am still very frugal. At most, I reward my subordinates on weekdays. Sometimes I invite officials from all over Wuping to have a few meals and drink a few wines, but I can't spend a lot of money."

Zhou Ehuang said: "My husband, how much money can you spend on reward banquets? One thousand guan is enough for you to reward people and how many times will you hold a banquet."

"Yes, then why is this money gone?" Li Yuan said in surprise.

Qiu'er's slender jade finger was dipped in saliva and opened a few pages of the account book and said, "On the first day of October, Hu Gui's inner treasury received 20,000 guan. On the sixth day of October, Hu Gui's inner treasury received 70,000 guan. On the fifteenth day of October, Hu Gui's inner treasury received 30,000 guan. On the nineteenth day of October, Hu Gui's inner treasury received 40,000 guan. On the twenty-ninth day of October, Hu Gui's inner treasury received 30,000 guan. In less than this month, Hu Jiancheng came to the inner treasury to withdraw 190,000 guan. Where did the money go?"

Zhou Ehuang's face also turned red, and she was obviously extremely angry.

Everyone was surprised. In less than a month, the military weapon supervisor Hu Gui actually received so much money from the inner treasury.

Li Yuan said in surprise: "The military weapon supervisor needs a lot of money to develop weapons and armor. I know this, but it has always been borne by the Wuping Treasury. My Treasury is only providing some support at most. Why did I only get money from the Treasury recently? What's going on?"

Zhou Ehuang said quietly: "Why did you ask us? Have you ever remembered that before you went back to Dongxi, you specifically instructed me that Hu Gui would not stop him from coming to the inner treasury to collect the money. He just needs to sign and confirm the details and report the details to check. It was Lang Jun who gave him the convenience of collecting money himself, but now he is here to ask us?"

Li Yuan frowned, and he suddenly understood what was going on.

Liu, who had been silent, frowned and asked, "Brother Yuan, what's going on? Then why did Hu Gui use so much money? Where did he use it?"

Zhou Ehuang sighed and said, "Didn't the husband ask him to be responsible for the twenty alchemy sorcerers whom he found from the capital to refine the fire subduing formula? Those people spent money like flowing water. It is said that a large sum of money was spent like flowing water. One furnace would cost 7,000 guan, and ten alchemy furnaces would cost 70,000 guan. Moreover, these warlocks were very particular, and they would also need a elixir room if they wanted a elixir furnace.

I heard from people that hundreds of families around the military weapon surveillance were forced to move away. Because the smell of alchemy was too bad, they all went to the state government to complain. In the end, the state government had to spend a sum of money to resettle new residences for these people. The sulfur, saltpeter, and all kinds of strange things were also very expensive. All the money was put into the stove... "

After hearing this, Liu frowned deeply and said, "Brother Yuan, tell your mother, are you addicted to the way of immortality? You have been a smart person since you were a child, how can you believe in these illusory things? Those elixirs are harmful things, so you can't eat them randomly..."

Everyone suddenly realized that many people knew about Li Yuan asking someone to refine the fire subduing prescription. Naturally, they didn't understand what Li Yuan's use of refining the fire subduing prescription. However, Li Yuan is the head of the family. No one dared to do anything, so no one stopped him. But now, in their eyes, it would be forgot to burn money, but they were afraid that it would harm Li Yuan's body.
