After Xie Ronghui saw the land deed for the eighty acres of fertile land in front of him, he didn't know what to do for a while.
"Father, your son shouldn't want this."
"Since you call me father, why shouldn't you? I originally wanted to buy you these eighty acres of tax-free land when my father was last year, but unfortunately I was busy with work, and it happened that your cousin had nothing to do. So I sent him once, and now the eighty acres of land and the tenant contracts are with your third uncle. I have made an agreement with him that if you are in the capital, just send him back once a year."
"Thank you father."
Xie Ronghui didn't know what to say.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't get even an acre of land.
"You are the grandson of my Xie family. In the future, you will inherit most of your grandpa's property. Therefore, I will not buy too much property for you in the future. Your mother has also made an agreement with the Chen family on this matter. .”
"Yes, my son knows."
"In the past few years, my family's expenses have been quite large. In addition to you, Brother Ye and others are studying and eating here. I have never asked your grandpa for any expenses. It is not because I am generous, but It’s because my father now has this ability, so he should be nicer to you juniors.”
Although Xie Xiuwen didn't like Xie Xiuran and his former sister-in-law, he was still very fair to his two nephews, at least he wouldn't hate them.
Although I can't say I like these two nephews very much, I can at least watch them grow up calmly.
"Your marriage has been decided, so you have to learn to be a man, and you have to learn to take on the responsibilities that you should shoulder as soon as possible. The family will naturally prepare it for you during the usual wedding ceremony, but at Miss Chen's place, you also have to take it on your own What a plan."
Xie Ronghui's face turned slightly red. It was a bit embarrassing for him to have his father teach him about such things.
"You are a person who wants to pursue an official career. Naturally, you cannot compete with the people for profit in the future, so you have to stay away from doing business, but you also need to know how to adapt."
Xie Ronghui immediately lit up his eyes: "Please ask father for advice."
"Last year, we inspected the Wang Shilang's Mansion. I also asked someone to make connections and purchase two farms on the outskirts of Beijing. One is smaller, with a field of about 800 acres. I have discussed with your mother about the property. I’ll leave it to you to take care of for now.”
Xie Ronghui was stunned, he still wanted to take the scientific examination!
Xie Xiuwen saw his confusion and added: "My father has called Xie Rongye from Gaoyang County. He is smart. You can send him if you have something to do in the future. You can leave the general affairs to him to take care of it, but you can do it yourself." Don’t turn a blind eye.”
"Yes, my son understands."
An eight-hundred-acre farm, excluding the sharecroppers' share of the annual income, could put into the treasury at least 500 taels. If managed properly, it would be possible to put into the treasury seven to eight hundred taels.
Xie Xiuwen had already made plans. It was impossible for Xie Ronghui to take care of the farm, and he currently had no suitable people available. Therefore, after taking over the two farms last year, everything was operated as it was under the old owner. Now there are If you kill your own people, you will naturally have to take good care of it.
Xie Rongye does not have to go to Zhuangzi to be the head of the village, he just needs to run back and forth. It seems easy, but in fact it is a hard job, and he has to worry about much more than just Zhuangzi.
Since Xie Xiuwen intended to use him, he naturally had to train him first.
Xie Xiuwen purchased eighty acres of land under Xie Ronghui's name. There was nothing to hide about it. Liu Ruolan knew about it early on.
No matter what, Brother Hui called her mother. Now that she was engaged, she should save some money, otherwise, she wouldn't even have the money to give her fiancée a rare gift.
Liu Ruolan originally thought of giving money directly to Xie Ronghui, but Xie Xiuwen said that it was not appropriate to give any amount. After all, there are rules in the family now, and everyone has monthly money. If he gave it to Brother Hui alone, what would Brother Lang do?
That's why Xie Xiuwen came up with the idea of letting him manage the industry on his behalf. In fact, it was to give him an opportunity to save money.
If he can keep it secret without anyone noticing, then that's his skill.
If Xie Ronghui can't afford to think so, then Xie Xiuwen has a reason to allocate him more monthly money.
In short, it is easy to handle no matter what.
Xie Xiuwen just arrived home that day, and before he even got off the carriage, he was surrounded by a young boy.
"Thank you, sir. My master has invited me."
Xie Xiuwen took a closer look and saw that it was from Wang Qinshan's house.
"But what is Mr. Wangge's order?"
"I don't know, I'm just here to invite you to visit me."
Xie Xiuwen hesitated for a moment, then ordered Douzi to go back to the palace to deliver a message. He only said that he would not be back for dinner at night, and then Li Shan and Li Si accompanied him all the way to the palace.
Wang Qinshan was so worried that he didn't know what to do. When he heard that Xie Xiuwen was coming, his brows immediately widened.
"Zicheng, you are finally here, come in quickly."
Wang Qinshan didn't beat around the bush with him and explained the matter clearly in a few words.
Wang Qinshan had a student named Fang Zheng, who was temporarily appointed as a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
This foreign minister has a lower position and has no power. However, once something goes wrong and the superiors hold him accountable, he is often pushed out to top the cylinder.
"Fang Zheng has been in the Ministry of Civil Affairs for more than two years and has been working conscientiously. Now the Ministry of Civil Affairs has conducted a self-examination and found out that he had accepted bribes. Fang Zheng was arrested by Dali Temple today, and there is no news about him until now."
Xie Xiuwen's eyebrows moved slightly. He had heard about Fang Jin being taken away, but he didn't think about Wang Qinshan.
"Uncle Master, please don't worry. Dali Temple must rely on real evidence when recruiting people. Can you ask someone to inquire?"
"The people at Dali Temple are very strict, but my people got the news that some of the books have obviously been altered, but there is no way to prove that someone is making false accusations to frame the housing survey."
This matter is indeed difficult to handle.
Although Xie Xiuwen has real power now, he can't get his hands in everything.
Dali Temple, that was not a place he could reach out to.
Once the Holy One finds out about it, I'm afraid he will be punished.
But this matter was also related to his uncle, so he couldn't ignore it.
"Uncle, don't worry. I remember that I have a small official who has some friendship with a jailer in Dali Temple. I immediately went to find him to find out something. At least, we must first ensure that Fang Zheng has not been tortured in prison."
Wang Qinshan nodded: "What you are saying is that we must first ensure that he will not be beaten into a trap. However, he is still a fifth-grade official. As long as he has not been dismissed from office for a day, he should not be punished."
Xie Xiuwen sighed helplessly, how could this uncle, who had been an official for so many years, still be so naive?
Is this the place where these truths can be discussed in a place that handles prison cases?
If Fang Zheng is found injured at that time, and he only says that he was injured by a prisoner in the prison, what can he do to the jailer?
Xie Xiuwen was worried about leaving the matter to others, so he went there himself.
As soon as Xie Xiuwen left the palace, Mr. Qin Ge came to the door.
