sure you.Mrs. Wen sighed.It's truly awkward for the couple to meet up with the Wen family.When it comes to blood ties, nothing is closer than family.But when disaster struck, Wen's actions were too co...Li Zhensheng nodded, quickly calculating in his mind, and said: "My lord, the Wang family has a lot of land. Two hundred acres are too cheap for them. I think we can get five hundred acres." 。And I know that the Wang family has a large estate in Yunhe Town, fifty miles southwest of Xin Du. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with five hundred acres of fertile land in the middle. 。This estate brought the most yield to the Wang family, making it their most prized possession. 。When I helped the Wang family before, I went there twice and am very familiar with it. 。If you were to plant corn and potatoes, which farm would be most suitable 。"

'There's such a good place in the Wang family' The Marquis was also surprised, turning his head to look at Ye Shan, 'Send a message to the Wang family, bring the deeds and land titles of the Zhuangzi in Yunchuhe Town. Once Wang Laosan has them, he can get out of prison'>>> 。"Yes, Lord." 。He turned his head and walked away. 。Li Zhensheng then suggested, "Master Hou, for the sake of secrecy, those Wang family members on that estate definitely can't be used anymore. And for five hundred mu of good farmland, at least twenty households of tenant farmers and a hundred or so people will be needed to cultivate it." 。Whether it's the Lord or our village, we don't have enough manpower at the moment. So, should we look for help The Lord looked up and met his gaze before smiling, "You mean... Liu Zhiheng"Li Zhensheng also smiled, "Yes, Lord. Although Liu Zhiheng seems to be greedy for food and wealth, he is very measured in his actions, intelligent and righteous..." 。And the Liu family was also a prominent local clan, so even though the Wang family was resentful, they dared not easily offend them. 。After getting the land estate, it could be registered under my name. The Wang family would only think that the Marquis was helping me vent my anger and thus demanded this estate for me. 。I'll release word again, saying that I've sold the estate to the Liu family and redeemed the shops and Seahorse Residence that I sold earlier. 。Thus, Liu's family would send people to cultivate the land and manage the estate. No one would suspect anything, and I could go south to see if there were any suitable goods. Upon returning, I would reopen the shop and tavern businesses, bringing in some income for the family. 。The Lord listened and nodded, becoming even more impressed by his elder brother's intellect. 。Thus, it appeared to be a simple exchange, yet each party benefited, while also concealing it from the outside world. 。The only issue is, the Liu family put in effort and helped mediate, so what benefits should they receiveAlthough Old Master Liu appears to be a loyalist to the emperor, he has never returned to court and hasn't clearly stood by the emperor's side to oppose the Empress Dowager. 。He had to think carefully. If he handled this well, with help planting corn and potatoes, he could also help the Emperor completely subdue the Liu family... With the first snowfall, the weather turned bitterly cold. 。Every household's children were dragged by their mothers, ears pulled, reluctantly changing into padded jackets and trousers. 。Early in the morning, after breakfast, the children grabbed their schoolbags and skipped happily to the new school. 。Uncle Zhao and the village head were strolling through the village with their hands behind their backs, when they almost bumped into a mischievous boy who was running wild. 。Uncle Zhao caught the mischievous boy and patted his back lightly, laughing, "What's the hurry The school is so close, I could never leave you behind!" The mischievous boy put on a sad face and bowed, begging for mercy, "Grandpa Zhao, please let me go to school. If I'm late, the teacher will punish me with board..." 。" Having said that, he hopped away like a rabbit. " 。Uncle Zhao and the village head both laughed, "Since this school opened, the boys have a place to gather, and the village has become much quieter." 。"Yes, but that's a good thing too. Children should learn to write numbers and rules. They will be successful in the future." 。"The day before yesterday, I ran into the headmaster of the Dahuai tree outside the village. He even asked me about this. From what I heard, he also wanted to send his child here to study, but I vaguely brushed him off." 。"That's how it is," the village head pondered, "I'll gather everyone tonight and see what Zhen Sheng and the second son have to say." 。“Yeah, we're getting old. We can still look after the village, but in the long run, it's not as thorough and secure as what the second son and his family are planning. It would be good to ask them for advice.” 。Uncle Zhao nodded and said: 。Though the two had negotiated well, the three surrounding villages couldn't wait any longer. 。The new learning hall is beautiful. All the playful friends who used to run around are now sitting inside reading and writing. 。The boys from those three villages envied them, went home rolling and crying, and also wanted to study. 。Of course, families love their children and want the best for them. Studying is a good thing, and we shouldn't stop them from pursuing knowledge. 。Therefore, many people went to their respective in-laws' homes and begged them to intercede. 。The insiders also want to take this opportunity to get along with the people on Shui Jin Tan, so that they can have more interaction in the future. It's all good and no harm. 。They chose a day to visit Xin Cun together. The three of them didn't bring anything valuable, only a bundle of yellow tobacco leaves, an old hen, a basket of eggs, and a good jar of wine. 。Just happened to run into Zhao Shu and the village head on the way, so we chatted for a bit and then went to the village head's house for some drinks and casual conversation. 。Among the young masters, as long as wine glasses are raised, there is nothing that cannot be said. 。The village headman of Da Huai Shu Village grabbed Zhao Shu's hand, his voice choked with emotion as he pleaded, "Old brother, we know that because of the incident with Mr. Li's family, our two young men made a grave mistake, but it has been over ten years since they died. Even the biggest grudge has passed..." 。If the Li family is still angry, I will go and kowtow to them, as long as the master calms down. 。“But by all means, don't cut off our village boys' path to education because of this.” 。"We're all ordinary folks, just hoping our children learn some skills so they can support themselves and their families more easily in the future, wouldn't you say" The other two people weren't going to be outdone either. 。"Yes, old brothers, you don't know, we toil all year, just scratching out a living in the dirt. Seeing your village so prosperous, we dream of it and our mouths water with envy." 。"

Now, we don't expect anything else. We just hope that the neighbors living nearby will also pay attention to the children in our village and give them a chance to learn something"

The village head and Zhao Shu were repeatedly complained about, flattered, and begged by these three old men. In the end, they couldn't stand it anymore and agreed muddleheadedly." 。As the sun began to set, the three officials happily went home. The village head and Zhao Shu also woke up from their drunken stupor and realized they had been a bit reckless. 。The academy was built with the dividends from the marquis's estate. The headmaster is the eldest son of the Li family, and it was built to give the village children a better future. 。Now that they've agreed to take in the children from the village outside, it just feels a bit off, doesn't it 。Then, the two old men went to Li's house briskly. 。The Li family was busy cooking, while the Lord held Jia Yin's hand and strolled in the courtyard. When they saw the Village Head and Zhao Shu coming over, he invited them to have a meal. 。The village chief and Zhao Shu were both thinking about something. They didn't eat much, and when the table was cleared, the two blushed and began to talk about the school. 。"Drinking gets in the way of things, from now on we can't drink anymore." 。"Yeah, I got tricked into it after drinking a few bowls. My head was spinning and I blurted out an agreement. " 。Both old men were filled with remorse, hanging their heads like repentant children. 。The Lord and the Li family members quickly tried to persuade them, fearing they would catch a fever again. 。Soon, the children were driven to the side room to play, and Li Zhensheng said, “Uncle Village Head, Uncle Zhao, you wouldn't have come today. My brother and I were also going to come to you to discuss this matter.” 。"As for the academy, we definitely need to accept children from the other three villages. However, there will be a test first, and we can't just accept everyone who applies." 。After the spring, planting winter melon and muskmelon should also include these three villages. 。“

Two old men had initially breathed a sigh of relief, but when they heard that the winter melon and sweet melon also needed to be divided, they became anxious again. 。This can't be right, cucumbers and melons are our village's treasure trove. How could we just give them away so easily 。Li Zhensheng quickly waved his hand, signaling them to calm down, and finally said a few words in a low voice. 。The two old men didn't react for a long time, they were so startled their mouths could fit an egg. 。 Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!ir shells off, they'd probably turn into old turtles right away!Just like everyone else, Jiaren and the others were curious too.They had a suspicion in their hearts, but they couldn't believe it!Wang...
