Back in the room, Wei Xiaobao found that Jianning was not in the outer room. Instead, he could hear the two of them laughing and laughing. He cried out in his heart that this was not good. What kind of temper did these two have? If they bumped into him, he would be finished. He walked back and forth outside, but he didn't hear the quarrels and curses inside. He only heard the whispers and laughter of the two people. Wei Xiaobao was a little surprised, but he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile as he walked into the room."What are the two of you talking about? Why are you so happy?”
The two of them were very united. They only turned around to look at him, but they continued to speak as if they did not see him. Wei Xiaobao felt really uncomfortable, so he had to listen carefully, hoping to hear what they were saying. However, the two of them seemed to be deliberately whispering, and he couldn't hear them no matter how close he got.
Jian Ning glanced sideways at Wei Xiaobao, who was slowly approaching him, and kicked him in the waist. Wei Xiaobao fell to the ground. Jian Ning stood up and glanced at him before saying to Su Ma,"Today, I'll tell brother emperor to let you serve me.”Wei Xiaobao stood up, puzzled, but Jian Ning and Su Ma each grabbed his ear.
"Hmph, you're lucky," Jianning whispered in his ear. Hurry up and propose to the emperor brother. Sister Su Ma will go out with him as a dowry.”
Wei Xiaobao was pleasantly surprised. He didn't know what had happened during his time away, but the two of them had solved the problem he had been most afraid of.
"Don't be happy too early. When we leave the palace, we'll settle old scores with you!”Su Ma whispered into his ear, and the two of them walked out together.
Wei Xiaobao watched the two of them leave, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
During the morning court session, Wei Xiaobao finally returned to his true form and became one of the officials. After the court session ended, the ministers came forward to congratulate them. When Wei Xiaobao saw Ming Zhu, he came forward with a smile and cupped his hands."Lord Wei, I didn't know that you were a fake eunuch yesterday, so I offended you. Please forgive me.”
Although Wei Xiaobao was still a little unhappy, there were so many people present that he couldn't say anything. He returned the greeting."Lord Ming Zhu, you're worrying too much. It's normal to have some disputes when discussing court politics. How can I be so petty?”
"That's good. I wonder when Lord Wei will be free to have a few drinks at my residence.”Ming Zhu smiled in relief when she heard that.
"I'll definitely go when I'm free!" Wei Xiaobao laughed and talked to the people around him. However, he did not hear Ming Zhu's cold snort when she turned her head.
When they finally left the palace, Wei Xiaobao was pulled aside by Suo Ertu and Prince Kang to see his house. His house was originally the residence of the Obois gang, but it had not been used since it was seized. Today, Kang Xi had just mentioned that Wei Xiaobao must leave the palace to live, and Suo Ertu immediately mentioned this house. Kang Xi had given it to Wei Xiaobao.
Although the house was not as grand as the one in Soeh Tu, it was small and exquisite. There were pavilions and waterside pavilions everywhere, as if they were in a water village south of the Yangtze River.
"Brother Wei, you'll be staying here for now. When the day comes, I'll give you a big Wei Residence!”Suo Ertu said.
"You're welcome. I'm very satisfied with this house, really. Thank you for your effort, brother!" Wei Xiaobao was very satisfied. With so many messy corridors, he would be able to escape in the future.
"Brother Wei has been disturbed in my house, so I'll add some maids and servants to your house to calm you down."”
Wei Xiaobao accepted it politely. Actually, he didn't really care about these things at the moment. After all, he was considered a rich man, so he didn't care about these small amounts of money at all. However, since Imperial Prince Kang had given it to him, it was bound to be someone who had undergone training. He could use it directly, which saved him a lot of trouble.
They worked like this until the afternoon before sending these people away. Wei Xiaobao admired his new home alone, looking at the busy servants, his heart filled with warmth. He suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Li Manru and the other orphans for a long time. He didn't know how they were doing, so he changed into casual clothes. Just as he was about to go out, he ran into Suksaha's official. He said that he wanted to return the land that Oboi had seized and asked Wei Xiaobao to check it out.
Wei Xiaobao had no choice but to follow them out of the city to take a look at his own land. The thousand hectares of fertile land were unusually large, and it would be difficult to manage them if they were separated. What was rare was that Suksaha actually connected these lands together, saving Wei Xiaobao a lot of trouble. Wei Xiaobao knew that Suksaha wanted to repay him for saving his life, so he was very satisfied with the land he had chosen. "It seems that if I have the time, I will have to pay a visit to this loyal minister.”Wei Xiaobao thought to himself that he would feel bad if he didn't thank her for such a generous gift.
Wei Xiaobao had just taken the title deed from the guards and was about to leave when a group of farmers suddenly barged in and knelt in front of them."Dukes, may I ask who will own these lands in the future?”
The leader pointed at Wei Xiaobao and said,"These lands will belong to Lord Wei in the future.”
The farmers immediately begged,""Lord Wei, please let us live!”
"What are you talking about?" said Wei Xiaobao.”
The leader of the farmers said," Lord Wei, this land originally belonged to the Obois family. It is all cultivated by the people of our farm. I am the owner of this farm." Sir, the traitor Oboi is guilty, but we only know how to farm. We are innocent. Now that the government has confiscated all of Obois 'property and taken all of his land, we have no land to grow. How are we supposed to survive? I beg Lord Wei to leave us here to farm for you, please!”Following that, a group of people knelt on the ground and begged endlessly.
Wei Xiaobao took a deep breath. He had been so preoccupied with finding a way to settle the people in the city who lacked food and clothing that he had forgotten to consider the tenants who had been farming here. After thinking for a moment, he looked at the pleading farmer and felt a little sorry. In his previous life, he was a farmer. He had seen the suffering of the farmers and could not bear to let them suffer. He said,"In that case, you can stay here and continue to help me farm.”
"Lord Xie, we will definitely work hard!”The farmers were overjoyed and kowtowed in thanks.
"What's your name?" Wei Xiaobao asked the leader.
"My name is Zhang Shunyi, you can call me Shunzi.”
"Straight?" Wei Xiaobao saw that the manor lord was in his forties or fifties. His son was probably older than him, and his grandson might even be a busybody. How could he call him that? "I'll call you Big Brother Zhang. You don't have to refuse. I still need you to manage these lands and help me protect my family!”Zhang Shunyi wanted to decline, but he chuckled and agreed.
However, what about Li Manru's group of unemployed people? If he asked them to make bras, these old men who cared about their reputation would probably fight him to the death. A yellow leaf fell from the tree, and as he looked at the fallen leaves on the ground, Wei Xiaobao thought to himself that it was almost winter. Suddenly, he had an idea. Hence, he brought Zhang Shunyi to Li Manru's place and asked him to arrange the refugees 'whereabouts.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Wei Xiaobao still couldn't help but gasp when he saw Li Manru's dense crowd. "Manru, where did so many people come from?”
"These few days, many people who have nowhere else to go have come to seek refuge. I really can't bear to…" Li Manru said embarrassedly.
" Sigh," Wei Xiaobao sighed. He would lock Li Manru up at home and not let her go out. In just a few days, almost all the vagrants and refugees in the capital had flocked to her.
" Sir," Zhang Shunyi said with some difficulty," Sir, you originally said that there were only a few hundred people. Our farm should be able to accommodate them, but now there are actually a few thousand people. The total population of our farm is less than a thousand. To accommodate so many people, I'm afraid..."
Wei Xiaobao waved his hand impatiently and frowned. Li Manru saw that Wei Xiaobao was in a difficult position and said aggrievedly,"Little Treasure, I know I've put you in a difficult position again. I didn't want this to happen, but they're really…really pitiful. As for how to arrange them, the money we earned from the business we did these days is enough to feed these people. It's just that all that money was yours. I used it without your consent.”
"You don't have to say it. I'm not worried about this. That money is your dowry anyway. Don't come to me again when you've spent it!”Wei Xiaobao teased. He was unhappy that Kang Xi was supposed to be the one to deal with the refugees, but now he had to solve the problem for him. In fact, according to his current financial resources, he could even arrange for ten thousand people.
"Big Brother Zhang, bring these people to the farm and divide them into two groups. One group will build houses on the farms for you to live in, and the other group will build greenhouses on the fields.”Wei Xiaobao wanted to build a greenhouse and plant vegetables in it. He told Zhang Shunyi about how he wanted to build the greenhouse, mainly to achieve the effect of heat preservation, and asked him to arrange for people to repair it. This way, these refugees would finally have something to do during this period of time. He would not have to feed these people all day long for nothing. In the early Qing Dynasty, there were no restrictions on private mining, so there were some small coal mines around Beijing, so it was convenient to use coal.
?" Oh, right." Wei Xiaobao remembered the so-called co-op in his later life and reminded Zhang Shunyi," You divide the work daily and make sure no one is idling around." As for those who ate and drank all day but did not work properly, they were directly chased out. Tell them in advance that I'm a third-grade official of the imperial court. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I'll definitely teach them a lesson!”
"By the way, what's the name of your farm?”
"Milord, this farm doesn't have a name.”Zhang Shunyi smiled awkwardly.
"If that's the case, why don't we call it a stronghold? It sounds smooth and bold.”Wei Xiaobao suddenly wanted to play a prank.
"Listen to my lord, I'll get someone to put up a sign when we get back. From now on, our farm will be called Dazhai.”
"Daren is indeed kind-hearted. In a moment, you thought of where these people went.”A familiar voice came from behind him. Wei Xiaobao turned around and saw that it was Ma Wenlong. After capturing Oboi, the man refused to receive a reward from the court, so Wei Xiaobao had no news of them.
"So it's Big Brother Ma. It's been a long time since we last met. Why is Big Brother Ma here?”
"Brother Ma has been helping me all this time. It's all thanks to him. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to take care of so many people.”Li Man said like a relative.
Looking at Li Manru's happy face, Wei Xiaobao wondered if Ma Wenlong was interested in Li Manru. " Thank you for taking care of my Manru, Brother Ma," Wei Xiaobao said as he pulled Li Manru into his arms, telling Ma Wenlong to stop dreaming." What are your plans for the future, Brother Ma?"”Wei Xiaobao thought to himself.
Li Manru felt uneasy. She was being hugged by Wei Xiaobao in front of so many people. She felt a little shy and broke free.
" Brother Wei, don't worry." Ma Wenlong smiled." I'm only here to save more people." Ever since my unwed wife died, I've lost interest in anyone.”
Only then did Li Manru react. She punched Wei Xiaobao a few times, her face flushed red as she said,"You petty bastard!" Embarrassed, Wei Xiaobao let go of her and scratched his head."Brother Ma, hehe, I'm sorry. Why don't Brother Ma stay here and help Brother Zhang take care of things in the manor?”
Ma Wenlong smiled and agreed. He then turned around and started to work. Wei Xiaobao was naturally lazy, so he couldn't be bothered with these trivial things. With Ma Wenlong and Zhang Shunyi's help, he could save a lot of time for other things. As for these important things, they were just teasing Li Manru, his wife.
Unfortunately, it seemed that he would not be able to live in peace for a moment today. Just as he was about to tease Li Manru, whose face was flushed red, there was another commotion in the distance.
