When Li Yuan heard that Xie Yanzhi had bought Zhuangzi, she looked at him in surprise.
"Brother Xie, can you buy Zhuangzi? I've been asking Junzi to look for people in the dental shop to pay attention. It turns out that either the location is particularly remote, the land is not good, or the price is too high."
"I bought it and asked Brother Ziran to help me. Our village is not far from here, with a total of one hundred and sixty acres of land, plus a large persimmon forest. Yuan Niang, if you are not busy tomorrow, let's go see it Look at the village head."
"Celebrate the New Year tomorrow, the day after tomorrow!"
"OK!"
Xie Yanzhi replied, then lowered his head and started eating.
Li Yuan sat next to him, staring at the manor title deed.
It wasn't until Xie Yanzhi finished eating that she asked: "Brother Xie, the total you just mentioned is four thousand taels, so did you use the remaining 600 taels?"
Xie Yanzhi shook his head: "No! The remaining 600 taels were sent back to Mr. Xu after I figured out that Zhuangzi was short of manpower. The 500 taels were used to assist Liuyun County in rebuilding the city, and the other 100 taels were for him and Bai Yuyuan's hard work. fee."
Li Yuan originally wanted to talk to him about this matter, but she didn't expect that he had already thought about it and even got the matter done.
For such a man, Li Yuan once again sighed in her heart, she married the right person!
"Brother Xie, did Junzi tell you that the third aunt will come back on New Year's Eve?"
"Yes! Junzi originally wanted to send me back, and he would drive back tomorrow. But because of the cold weather, I was afraid that his absence would make my siblings feel uneasy, so I asked him to go back. He said that I had driven the car back, so Zheng I will go to the city to pick up my third aunt on my thirtieth day."
"Uncle San knew you were coming back earlier, so he asked me to ask if you knew. Since Thirty is going to pick someone up, I'll tell him tomorrow."
"Um!"
Xie Yanzhi responded and took the initiative to get up and go to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
As he walked to the kitchen, he did not forget to tell Li Yuan: "Mother Yuan, go wash up first."
Li Yuan did not go to wash up, but held the deed of Zhuangzi, followed him and asked: "Brother Xie, this Zhuangzi, why do you want to write my name? Isn't it still in the name of dowry?"
It was just a bowl. Xie Yanzhi quickly washed it, wiped his hands clean, and walked out of the kitchen.
When he reached Li Yuan, he held her with one hand and led her to the bathroom.
Li Yuan was confused by him, "Brother Xie?"
"You wash up first, and I will stand here with you. If you have any questions, just ask."
At this moment, how could Li Yuan still not know what he meant.
Her face felt warm, but they were a couple after all, and she had nothing to be pretentious about.
Seeing her cooperation, Xie Yanzhi smiled brightly, and then began to answer what she had said before.
"In your name, I want to give you protection. People in the world look at people with colored eyes. They don't know that you are an immortal. They only think that you are a country man and a divorced woman. They are trying to seduce you both inside and outside. I am the only one Clearly, what exactly is going on.”
"Our house, Zhuangzi, and future shops are all in your name. If there are still people who say that you are not worthy of me, Yuan Niang, you can just say that you have been supporting me. I am not afraid of what the world says about me. If your bones are weak, you are afraid that the world will look down upon you."
Li Yuan: "..."
He was afraid that in addition to being in Zhenguohou Mansion, he was also stimulated in the Imperial College.
However, he could always think about her in his heart, and she couldn't brush off his kindness because of this.
Li Yuan, who was deeply touched, couldn't help but say while taking a shower: "Brother Xie, aren't you afraid that you will buy everything as my dowry? One day we can't live together and divorce, and you will lose both your life and wealth?"
Xie Yanzhi didn't like to hear such words. Hearing this, he looked at Li Yuan who was rinsing the foam and squinted his eyes.
His voice suddenly became hoarse, "Don't be afraid, I believe there is no one in this world who can treat you better than me!"
After saying this, he waited for Li Yuan to turn off the hot water, then quickly walked in, picked up the bath towel, and wrapped her in it.
Before taking her out to dry her hair, he didn't forget to peck her hard on the mouth.
From that night on, Li Yuan never got up early the next day.
So much so that she originally planned to visit Zhuangzi after the Lunar New Year, but postponed it to the twenty-eighth of the Lunar New Year.
This time we went to Zhuangzi, not only Li Yuan and his wife, but also Li Sanhai.
As Xie Yanzhi said, it is not far from Zhou Caijing's Zhuangzi. It takes less than two quarters of an hour by foot. It would be faster by carriage.
Except for the Zhuangtou family, there is no one else in Zhuangzi, and I don’t know if they were dismissed by the master’s family.
Zhuangtou, whose surname is Dong, is in his forties. When he saw Xie Yanzhi and Li Yuan coming over, he said that his family was going back to his hometown.
It’s just that the New Year is coming soon, please allow them to wait until the New Year is over before leaving.
Li Yuan and Xie Yanzhi are not mean people. The New Year will be celebrated in two days, and they can't do anything to drive people out of Zhuangzi.
After returning from Zhuangzi, Li Yuan asked Xie Yanzhi.
"Brother Xie, we need to find someone to take care of our village, right? After the New Year, we have to recruit all the people. Otherwise, what will happen to the farming after spring?"
"If Third Uncle is willing, our village will be managed by his family for the next three years. If not, then I will find someone to take care of it. Also, as for our family's housekeeper, I have asked Brother Ji Ming to recommend a suitable candidate. , if nothing unexpected happens, we can find it before we try it.”
"The other thing is, Canniang, you will open a workshop here after the new year. I thought that after I try it, I will ask Brother Cao. I want to hand over these general affairs to him, that is, let him make it big. It means taking care of things.”
Li Yuan knew Brother Cao's abilities and the loyalty of others, but she didn't know him as well as Xie Yan.
After hearing this, she asked: "Brother Xie, can you do it?"
Xie Yanzhi knew the uncertainty in her words, so he nodded firmly.
"It can be done! I talked with Brother Cao when I was in Xinyang Mansion before. He felt that instead of hiding in a small place, it would be helpful for his descendants to follow me. Of course, this presupposes that I become a Jinshi and become an official. ."
When Li Yuan heard that, in addition to loyalty, there was also a link of interests. No, it should be said that there was a link of interests on the basis of surrender, so she felt relieved.
"Brother Xie, can I know how you calculate the money for Brother Cao? Is it moon silver, or?"
"At this stage, I will give him 12 months of silver every month. When the tea garden makes a profit, I will share it with him 25% and no longer receive monthly silver."
Li Yuan knew that the Cao family had a deep foundation in Liuyun County. The two in-laws, Cao Zhi and Zhang Cong, were equal to the bright and dark leaders in Liuyun County.
Ten taels of silver a month was just drizzle to Cao Zhi.
Once a tea plantation makes a profit, it becomes a hugely profitable industry. Isn’t it a bit much to give him 25%?
While thinking this, I heard Xie Yanzhi say: "The reason why I gave him 25% is because he is a master of tea making, and all future tea sales and other issues will be solved by him. At the same time, he will also choose from the Li clan. Take a smart person with you. If there is a need for this process and I happen to be able to solve it, then I will do it."
When Li Yuan heard that there were these additional conditions, she asked again: "Brother Xie, is this 25% always going to be like this in the future, or is there a time limit?"
"Yes, it is limited to ten years after making a profit. After the tea garden is built, it will be signed in the form of a deed. Yuanniang, you come and sign with him then."
