    Years pass by like a fleeting time, year after year passes by in a hurry.

    New Year is a grand festival. Liu Ke has been fighting non-stop in the past few years and has almost no time to rest.  After finally catching an opportunity, it was natural to have a more grand celebration.

    Although the New Year has not yet arrived, people in Dongyang City have already begun to walk freely through the streets and alleys, busy buying new year's goods.

    As long as you work hard, you will get a good salary. This is the rule set by Liu Ke.

    Nearly 200,000 prisoners who were building roads were also stopped. During the Spring Festival, Liu Ke promised that they could taste fine wine.

    With the shortening of labor time, they are looking forward to their future life.

    They have the opportunity to live in Yangzhou, which is the greatest encouragement.

    The custom of celebrating the New Year has been around for a long time. No matter where you live, no matter how much money you have or how little money you have, you must always have a decent New Year.

    At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, every household began to be busy killing pigs and sheep, which was a great pleasure.

    In order to supply the meat market in Yangzhou, Liu Ke specially purchased a batch of cattle and sheep from Youzhou.

    The throughput of the people in Yangzhou was simply terrible, and they were all consumed in one go.

    This also proves that people are gradually getting richer.

    Farmers are also free, and many people will get married at this time, which is very lively.

    Liu Ke had nothing to do at home, so he often patrolled the military camps and gave them blessings in advance.

    Because he has decided to spend time with his family during the Chinese New Year, these things can only be done in advance.

    Liu Ke doesn¡¯t bother with military affairs at all, otherwise the soldiers below don¡¯t know him, how can this be done?

    Regardless of the issue of trust, controlling the army is what a ruler should do at all times.

    After several days of this, Liu Ke fell down from exhaustion.

    And the burden of settlement for his family¡¯s shop also fell on Liu Ke¡¯s shoulders.  We can¡¯t let Zhao Yu come, right?

    Liu Youyi doesn¡¯t care anymore.

    The things that Liu Ke needed to deal with were left by Liu Xian after picking them out. Even so, the ledgers filled the entire room.

    This Chinese New Year is different from what Liu Ke imagined. He is just like a machine.

    "Master, the wine reserves are not enough." Liu Xiandao.

    Is there any use in telling me this kind of thing?

    "Like this, you give a few jars to each minister and keep the rest." Liu Ke ordered, and added, "Write a plan. Forget it this year, plan how much wine you will produce next year."  .¡±

    Plan?

    Liu Xian recorded them one by one.

    "Not just wine, but also other materials, make a statistics, don't be in a hurry when the time comes." Liu Kedao.

    ¡°Then the cunning Liu Ke went straight to Mi Zhu¡¯s door, borrowed more than a dozen accounting experts, and returned home to fight at night.

    Mi Zhu is the brother-in-law, so his request for leave from Liu Ke will definitely be approved. As for the other prefects, there is no way.

    Keep an eye on the troubles in Yangzhou!

    The New Year is a festive day, but it is also prone to trouble.

    Liu Ke¡¯s processing efficiency is jaw-dropping. Others deal with accounts page by page, but he handles accounts one by one.

    Even so, it took two days and two nights.

    It was New Year¡¯s Eve in a blink of an eye. Liu Ke held a big banquet in the front yard, said some words of encouragement, ate and drank with him for a while, and then left.

    Back in the backyard, Liu Ke lay on the round table in the pavilion, and Cao Zhen immediately gave him a massage.

    "Husband, let me play a song for you!" Cai Yan said with a smile, which was very nice.

    "That's a good relationship!" Liu Ke said happily.

    The melodious sound of the piano made Liu Ke almost fall asleep.

    Mi Yue ordered her servants to put the food on the table and hung a curtain on the pavilion to block the cold wind.

    He lit the stove and the pavilion was suddenly as warm as spring.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Quite elegant.

    "Whose idea was this? It's not bad!" Liu Ke praised.

    The girls just smiled, and Liu Ke didn't dare to guess.

    After a while, Zhao Yu was helped over by the maid. At this time, her belly was already very big.

    Liu Ke had a good meal with them.

    On the first day of the New Year, the servants and maids divided their duties and were extremely busy.  Butler Liu has also seen big scenes and is very comfortable in commanding them.

    After Liu Ke took his daughters to greet his father, he planned to show off his skills and cook.

    The sweet potato he madeThe seeds are soft and sweet.  The best thing is the French fries, crispy and delicious.

    Where have you seen such food?  They were all full of praise.

    When Liu Youyi found out, he even scolded Liu Youyi for his filial piety.

    This kind of dish is simple and easy to understand. With Liu Ke taking the lead, the chefs quickly learned it and used it directly at the banquet.

    ¡°Brother, this is so delicious!¡± Dian Wei said, munching on the French fries.

    Before, Dian Wei lived in the Liu Mansion, but later Liu Ke disliked his eldest son and asked Zhao Yu to arrange the marriage.

    Dian Wei naturally moved out after they got married, but he still had his own small courtyard in the Liu Mansion.

    Now the shameless Guo Jia is unmarried, but he has more than ten concubines, so Liu Ke doesn¡¯t need to worry about him.

    "Greetings to the Marquis of Dongyang!" Princess Wannian came out at this time.

    At Liu Ke¡¯s signal, Cai Yan took her over.

    "If you don't mind, please call me brother. Dongyang Hou is often seen outside!" Liu Ke wanted to touch the little girl's head, but found that her hair was well combed, so he couldn't bear to make trouble.

    "Well" Princess Wannian whispered.

    "Come and try this!" Dian Wei said, handing Princess Wannian a plate of French fries.

    Princess Wannian tasted one carefully, then snatched away Dianwei's plate, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

    Wannian felt embarrassed and ran away without a trace.

    Soon, the food of French fries spread all over the country, and Dongyang Hou¡¯s erudition was also widely praised.

    After eating and drinking, it¡¯s time for a grand sacrifice.

    Liu Ke originally wanted to skip this step, but was dissuaded by Guo Jia.

    Since the troubled times, the people have been displaced all year round and have no fixed place to live. Countless relatives and brothers have died on the battlefield. Sacrifice is a way to show hope for the coming year and to remember these tragic relatives or heroes who died in the war.

    Liu Ke held a grand lantern festival in order to let the people participate.

    There are also performances at the lantern festival, where warriors go into battle shirtless and fight directly to show off.

    In order to take care of the feelings of literati and poets, as well as guessing lantern riddles, the moat is also covered with painted boats for people to enjoy.

    The next day, there was an endless stream of people visiting Liu Ke, and Liu Ke was reluctant to accept the gifts.

    Although the governors from various places did not come, they all sent their close men to deliver gifts.

    What¡¯s even more exaggerated is that Zhou Xin also sent a so-called auspicious gift, and Liu Ke scolded him directly, but in the end he still praised him because he gave him the lightest gift.

    As long as it doesn¡¯t cost people or money, everything is fine.

    Liu Ke has long made it clear that only creative gifts can be given.  Although Xiangrui met the requirements, he always felt that he was treating people like fools.

    Zhuge Jin was so honest that he directly sent a cart of large sweet potatoes, all of which were carefully selected to be the largest and best looking.

    However, one person still gave him a heavy gift. Liu Ke did not blame him, but was very happy.

    That¡¯s hundreds of cartloads of books!

    The person who gave the gift was Situ Wangyun.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
