Li Yuan also knew this, but she felt that this was not an option.
She also wants to open a workshop after the new year. She can't be afraid of doing anything because of her scruples, right?
With this thought in mind, she voiced her concerns.
Ma didn't think it was anything. Hearing this, he said: "What's the matter? We have a lot of people in Lijia'ao. People outside can't be trusted, but our tribe can still be trusted. We are all from the same tribe, you and Shao'an Only if we are good can we as a whole tribe be good.”
Li Sanhai also said, "Don't worry, Yuan Niang. Tomorrow, Uncle San will ask someone to send a letter back to Lijia'ao. Then, just ask your Uncle Hua to send some younger people who are quick in hands, precise in speech, and good in brains to come over."
Li Yuan doesn't want people from these industrial families to get involved too much, even if they are all for her own good.
But this is only the beginning. As time goes by, it will be difficult to tell whether there are any careful thoughts.
In addition, she and Brother Xie asked everyone to go to Lanxia City in Luyang Prefecture to settle down and set up a tea garden or something, also for the future consideration of the clan members.
Once the tea gardens are opened, once the tea seedlings are ready, the clan will have to select people to learn the art of tea making and brewing.
Seeing that Li Yuan was silent, Mrs. Ma turned her head and looked at her man, then looked at her again and asked cautiously: "Mother Yuan, do you think this is bad?"
Facing her three uncles and three aunts who were all devoted to her, Li Yuan couldn't tell any lies.
She said truthfully: "Three uncles and three aunts, to be honest, the two big mountains opened by everyone in Lanxia City are not tea gardens built by wealthy businessmen in the capital at all, but bought by Brother Xie. In order to get them, except for the initial In addition to having a resettlement place for the clan members to leave Liuyun County, the main purpose is to let everyone learn a trade so that they can take care of future generations. It is Brother Xie’s wish for Brother Cao to take care of it there."
Very few people knew about this matter, except for Chen Yang and Cao Zhi who handled it, and only Wang Can and his wife.
Lijia'ao, including the people in the Li family's old house, are unknown.
When Li Sanhai and his wife heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath.
Even if they haven't gone to Lanxia City and haven't seen with their own eyes how big those two mountains are, they still know that it will cost a lot of money to buy them.
What's more, we have to pay everyone monthly silver, plus the future tea seedlings and other things, the future tea making workshop, etc. How much money will this cost?
Thinking about it, the couple's hands couldn't stop shaking slightly due to the shock.
After a while, the two of them calmed down and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Mother Yuan, this silver, Shao'an..."
Li Yuan knew that her third uncle wanted to ask whether Brother Xie had collected money that he shouldn't have received, so she said: "Uncle Third, the money is the dividend from Brother Xie's writing of the book. It comes from a legitimate source. You don't have to worry. After he won the election, everyone We only accepted the money from my son who knew the details, and we confiscated all the others."
Li Sanhai was still worried. He had stayed in Fucheng and the capital, and even though he didn't go out much, he knew a lot.
It can be said that my horizons are much wider than when I was in Lijia'ao, Liuyun County.
Hearing this, he asked: "Did you only accept congratulatory gifts from the Guo family, where shopkeeper Guo is located, as well as the Min family and the Su family?"
At the family dinner that day, there were only the Su family, the Guo family, and Wei Xiting from the Min family. I think it was just these three families!
"The Min family confiscated it, and the congratulatory gift sent by Wei Xiting only represents himself. Apart from him, the gifts from the Guo family and the Su family were accepted."
"The Guo family is Brother Xie's partner all year round. The owner intends to sell well. If Brother Xie doesn't accept it, people may think too much about it. As for the Su family and Wei Xiting, we have a good relationship with Sister Su, so it's okay to accept it a little bit. It doesn't matter. Otherwise, Mr. Su and Wei Xiting might wonder if we thought they gave too little, so they refused."
Li Sanhai was relieved when he heard that he only accepted these three companies.
"That's good, that's good. These three families are equal to two families. One family has a good relationship with Shao'an and has interests in it, so it won't be detrimental to Shao'an. The other family is now tied to you, so that's fine. Yuan Niang, Remember, if you are short of money in the future, just talk to Third Uncle and never take money that you shouldn’t. Even if Third Uncle doesn’t have it, he will write back and ask everyone in the clan to chip in. of."
Mr. Ma also nodded: "Mother Yuan, your third uncle is right! It's hard for some of our Li family to get into official careers. Don't ruin your future just for a little money. If you are short of money, just ask, and we will find a way." Yes. After the Chinese New Year, everyone in the clan will grow sweet potatoes and watermelons, and then life will be good."
What's more, these are all thanks to Yuan Niang and his wife, and they should feed back.
Li Yuan was very touched and felt warm in her heart, so she nodded: "Well, don't worry, third uncle and third aunt, Brother Xie and I know what we are doing. At present, our vegetables are selling well, and we have enough money."
Ma glanced at her man and said, "Yuan Niang, your third uncle and I still have a hundred taels on hand. In addition to what we earned in Liuyun County, the rest is from when your uncle and the others were growing watermelons." , divided between us. You can’t buy a house in the capital with this money, but you can still rent a yard and land in the suburbs.”
"Your third uncle and I have planned to rent a yard when the greenhouses are no longer planted after the new year. Then we can plant some watermelons and sweet potatoes. So besides your third brother's study, it won't cost much. Silver, you use the share of this dish first, you don’t have to give it to us. As elders, we can’t help with anything else, so this is all we can do.”
Speaking of Li Zheng's studies, Li Yuan said: "Third uncle, because I was looked down upon by others in the Hou Mansion, Junzi also decided to continue studying and take the college entrance examination. I think I will ask if there is a better academy then. , let them go in and read.”
The three-bedroom couple originally heard that Li Jun would not continue to take the college entrance examination, and they felt very sorry.
In their opinion, Li Jun's nephew really had a talent for reading. No matter how he became a scholar, he would become famous within a short time of picking up books again.
If he continues to study, he will definitely have a better future in a few years.
Maybe he passed the exam that his father failed to pass.
By then, not to mention what he can bring to the clan, at least Shaoan will be able to have help from many of his own family members in his official career.
When they heard that Li Jun was willing to continue to take the college entrance examination, they were happy but also quite unhappy.
Because the premise of all this is that Yuan Niang is looked down upon by others!
Li Yuan didn't know what they were thinking, so she told them her plan.
"Third uncle, this is what I think. When I buy Zhuangzi in the next year, can you help me? We will continue to cooperate as we do now. I will calculate the dividends for you. The specific amount should be paid, and we will add it up. You I also know that Junzi and Zhengzi have to study, and Brother Xie will enter the Hanlin Academy after the palace examination if nothing happens. In the future, I won’t be able to personally handle matters in the field, and I don’t trust outsiders..."
