Although the female soldiers under Zhao Yanhuan are stronger than the male soldiers, men naturally despise women.
So when Zhao Yanhuan arrived in Yi'an Prefecture with 3,000 guards including a thousand women, Wei Yizhe, the governor of Yi'an Prefecture, did not feel any threat after receiving the news.
In Wei Yizhe's opinion, Zhao Yanhuan was a big businessman under Prime Minister Dong Guan.
All big businessmen have to travel north and south to do business. The world is so chaotic that if you don't maintain a bodyguard, you won't be able to get out.
Therefore, it is normal for a big businessman to have thousands of guards in his hands, and Wei Yizhe is not surprised.
Especially when he learned that there were so many women in the guard, Wei Yizhe even looked down upon them.
I just feel that it’s really not good for women to be businessmen. They actually use women as bodyguards. If they encounter bandits, don’t they give them for free?
Of course, Wei Yizhe didn't dare to show the slightest contempt on the surface. This person was Prime Minister Dong Guan.
Moreover, in order to pave the way for the other party, Dong Guan also resolutely uprooted the entire Wang family of Tu Di Emperor in Yi'an Prefecture in advance, without giving any face to the aristocratic family behind the Wang family.
Although Wei Yizhe also came from a noble family, he did not dare to provoke Dong Guan.
The other party has great power, and because the emperor trusts him and even has military power, the family will not easily confront Dong Guan.
So when Zhao Yanhuan came to visit directly, Wei Yizhe was very enthusiastic and asked the housekeeper to bring him to his private residence.
Wei Yizhe is a fair, fat, middle-aged man. At first glance, he looks very friendly and seems to be easy to talk to.
When Zhao Yanhuan saw Wei Yizhe, he was about to salute but was helped by Wei Yizhe.
"Miss Zhao, don't be too polite. You are the Prime Minister's servant, so we can be considered a family. We will come and visit often in the future, so don't be too polite."
That's right, Wei Yizhe, a man who once colluded with the Wang family, directly uprooted the Wang family by himself after receiving Dong Guan's order to bring down the Wang family.
Wei Yizhe was very ruthless, and the Wang family, a family that had befriended him with a lot of gold and silver, suffered a lot from him.
Wei Yizhe even used this to gain access to Dong Guan. Not only did he retain his official position, but his future prospects were even better, which shows how smooth he was.
So even though he despised Zhao Yanhuan, he didn't show any contempt after meeting him.
Wei Yizhe showed his closeness to him first, and Zhao Yanhuan also showed a hint of closeness on his face.
"This is all for the sake of the prime minister. Please take care of me in the future, Mr. Zhizhou."
After Zhao Yanhuan waved his hands behind him, the servants carrying two boxes behind him immediately stepped forward, placed the boxes in front of Wei Yizhe, and opened them directly.
After the box was opened, Wei Yizhe's eyes were attracted by the contents in the box.
One of the two boxes Zhao Yanhuan brought was filled with silver ingots, totaling a thousand taels of silver.
In another box is a set of glass wine sets that Zhao Yanhuan got.
Among them, the overall shape of the wine pot is a large crystal clear peacock, and the wine glasses are small peacocks of different shapes.
These peacocks have different postures and vivid expressions. Each one is different. It is said to be a wine set, but more like a set of art.
Wei Yizhe didn't look at the one thousand taels of silver. Although one thousand taels was a lot, it really didn't matter to him.
What he was more interested in was this set of glass wine sets.
Wei Yizhe valued the wine set because of its beauty, and also because the value of this set of glass wine set in such good condition must be high, and it is definitely not comparable to a mere thousand taels of silver.
Zhao Yanhuan smiled at Wei Yizhe and said, "I don't know what Mr. Zhizhou likes, so I prepared this set of glass wine sets for Mr. Zhizhou to enjoy."
Wei Yizhe carefully picked up a wine glass, looked at it carefully, and praised: "Good stuff, these peacocks have different postures and are vivid. They must be made by everyone. This is the first time I have seen such clear glass." "
Wei Yizhe simply couldn't put it down. He decided to build a display stand to put this set of wine sets alone. Even if he is not using it for drinking, it is very satisfying to appreciate it every day.
After admiring it for a long time, Wei Yizhe reluctantly put down the wine glass in his hand and asked the servants around him to put things away.
After watching the servant put things away safely, Wei Yizhe looked at Zhao Yanhuan and his smile became more genuine.
"Miss Zhao, I have already counted and registered all the Wang family's land in accordance with the Prime Minister's instructions. Miss Zhao is now ready to take over."
"My housekeeper will accompany Miss Zhao. If there is anything inconvenient or unclear, he can help Miss Zhao handle it."
Obviously, Zhao Yanhuan gave the right gift, and Wei Yizhe liked it very much, so he asked his butler to follow Zhao Yanhuan.
To take over the land of the Wang family, it must be divided into two parts. The first part is the land registered by the Wang family with the government. Zhao Yanhuan must buy these at the market price and go to the government to apply for the red deed.
In the future, these lands will have to pay taxes, because Zhao Yanhuan is a businessman, not a family, and there is no tax exemption.
However, Zhao Yanhuan relied on Dong Guan, so even if he paid taxes, he only had to pay a small amount of normal taxes, and there would be no other miscellaneous taxes that would starve the people to death in good years.
Of course, this part of the registered land is only a small part, and the real big part is the Wang family's large amount of hidden land. These are all properties that are not enthroned by the government.
If Zhao Yanhuan did not make good friends with Wei Yizhe first, but came directly to take over the Wang family's land, then Zhao Yanhuan would definitely not get all the Wang family's hidden land.
Officials at all levels exploited him one by one, and in the end, only half of it was left for Zhao Yanhuan.
It's useless even if Zhao Yanhuan is dissatisfied. Yin Tian, who is not enthroned in the government, can't verify it at all. People say there is as much as there is.
But now that Wei Yizhe is the housekeeper, it means that Wei Yizhe, the largest official in Yi'an Prefecture, is on Zhao Yanhuan's side.
In this way, the officials in Yi'an Prefecture would not dare to hinder Zhao Yanhuan and covet the land that should have been given to Zhao Yanhuan.
This is why Zhao Yanhuan came to visit Wei Yizhe first and gave him gifts.
Even if Dong Guan is powerful, these old officials can still do one thing in front of their faces and another behind their backs.
The butler sent by Wei Yizhe was a very shrewd middle-aged man. Before starting work, Zhao Yanhuan gave him five hundred miles of silver as a gift.
The housekeeper was very happy, and he was very active in the next work. He helped Zhao Yanhuan deal with all the officials throughout the process, and successfully transferred all the Wang family's land into Zhao Yanhuan's hands.
After Zhao Yanhuan collected all the Wang family's land, he discovered that the Wang family had occupied more land than Zhao Yanhuan expected, occupying almost half of the land in Yi'an Prefecture.
With so much land being taken over by the Wang family, you can imagine how miserable the people of Yi'an Prefecture will be.
And in addition to the land in Yi'an Prefecture, what surprised Zhao Yanhuan was that the Wang family also had a large pasture in Qingmiao Prefecture next door.
