Uncle Cui Jin's eyes dodged, obviously lying. However, the Qi family didn't bother with him, but said coldly: "The old body has just said very clearly, the old body didn't care about the big brother in the past, but since you came to the door today, big brother, there is one thing that the old body will definitely tell you clearly." ”

"What's the matter?" Uncle Cui Jin had a bad premonition.

Qi's face did not change, and he continued to say coldly: "When Yuanbao left here, he left all the fields and mansions to your family, and he also made ends with you in front of the patriarch of the Qi clan and even the whole clan. The old man is the wife of the Cui family, and the Yuanbao family is the Cui family, so I will finish with you again today, don't disturb our family in the future, and don't rely on our family to do evil in the township. If you don't know how to converge, no matter what mistakes you make in the future, our family will definitely not care. "If you want to disgust her eldest grandson and disgust their family, you must be prepared to be retaliated.

"You can't be so ruthless, I'm your big brother. "Uncle Cui Jin still doesn't give up.

"Marry your husband, what can you do if you are the eldest brother of the old body? Besides, the old body is Mrs. Shujing, who is personally appointed by the emperor, and if your family wants to see the old body and the ingots, it depends on whether we agree or not!" Then he shouted outside and ordered: "Come here!"

"Yes!" a guard stepped forward.

"Invite the Qi family out to the old body!" The word "please" is already very polite, this time the Qi family is full of firepower and full of aura, not to mention the rest of the Qi family, even Uncle Cui Jin didn't dare to say a word again, for fear of offending her.

After the annoyed person left, Qi's face softened a little and said to the family: "In the future, there should be no such relatives." ”

"Mother!" Cui Jin called out "Mother", and the rest of the words were swallowed. This contains too many of his grievances and unwillingness.

Qi Shi choked and said: "It was my mother who was sorry for you back then, and your mother didn't know the grievances you suffered, but if your mother had turned her face with her eldest brother early, I am afraid your life would have been even more difficult." ”

"My son knows. "He used to be young and ignorant, and he really complained about the Qi family, and when he married a wife and had children, he stayed in the capital for so many years, what else did he not understand.

"Alright, let the past pass. Our family has to plan for the future. This time she insisted on leaving the capital, and did not go back with the prince, she was bound to offend Suzong, and when she returned to the capital, she had no foundation, and she didn't know how many difficulties she would encounter without the protection of the emperor. So before going back, you must let the Marquis of Yongchang Mansion stand up.

"What are you going to do?"

"First of all, we must first benefit the township and let our family have a good reputation. This is also one of the reasons why she is so determined to draw a line with her eldest brother's family today.

"And then?"

"We have to accumulate a certain amount of money, the cost of the capital is too big, if there is no money, many things cannot be done, and people will look down on them. ”

"Mother, don't you have a lot of emperor's rewards in your hands?" asked Cui Jin.

"Most of those rewards are imperial systems, which can only be offered, and cannot be spent at all. ”

"So what can we do to make money?"

"Don't forget, our mother and daughter are natives of crops, and they are also ridiculed soil buns. ”

"Dad, grandmother is right," Cui Zhiwei, who hadn't spoken for a long time, interjected, "Farming is a good way." ”

"Why did Xiao Zhiwei say that?" Cui Jin asked curiously.

"The people regard food as the sky, and the court fights a war or something, doesn't it have to go first before the soldiers and horses move the grain and grass? Then the food is the most important. In the future, if our family can hold half of the grain of the Daxi Dynasty, will we still be looked down upon?"

"Xiao Zhiwei is right. The Qi clan touched Cui Zhiwei's head lovingly, "In the future, if our family controls half of the world's grain, why worry about being looked down upon?"

"But Daxi has rich people everywhere, how can our family control half of the world's grain?" Cui Jin had planted for so long in his early years, and he never thought that farming would make money.

Qi Shi smiled, "It's man-made!"

"Since my mother has decided so, let's try. "He wouldn't be anything else anyway.

"By the way, grandmother, father, mother. Cui Zhiwei reminded, "This is the family land of the Baili family, if we want to buy land, it is better to choose elsewhere." "Don't get involved with the Baili family in the future, and find some unnecessary trouble for their family.

"Zhiwei reminded me right. Qi nodded, "In the future, our family will have to go back to the capital, in addition to our hometown Anping, we will also buy fields near the capital to make it easier to take care of." ”

"The son listens to his mother. ”

"Then by repairing your father's tomb, let the neighbors know that our family has returned. Then ask people to buy land and hire some long-term workers, and then build bridges and roads to do more practical things for their hometown. Speaking of this, Qi looked at Cui Zhixing again, "Zhixing, grandmother and your father and mother can not do much for you, you still have to rely on yourself in the future, and our family will have to rely on you to turn over." "Cui Zhixing can be said to be the greatest hope of their Hou Mansion.

"My grandson knows. Cui Zhixing replied respectfully, and he also knew that he had a heavy responsibility.

"Your marriage is not in a hurry, wait until you return to the capital to pick it slowly. This can be regarded as a reassuring pill for Cui Zhixing.

"Then the grandson went to school. This trip allowed him to see the strength of students outside the capital, among which the third son of the Deng family was particularly prominent. Originally, the two of them should not be able to catch up with one subject, but the third son of the Deng family gave up the township test next year, and Cui Zhixing couldn't catch up with the township test next year, and the two were bound to compete in three years. This made Cui Zhixing suddenly motivated to study and become more diligent, which is not a good thing for him.

Cui Zhiwei is still young after all, so he can't help much in the next things. However, with Li Ruosu here, let him help take a look at the feng shui of his grandfather's grave, and then help choose some fields, shops or something, which can be regarded as a professional counterpart.

Cui Zhiwei studied with Li Ruosu during this period, and after that, he successfully deduced several floods and droughts, as well as locust plagues, which not only allowed the family to avoid disasters perfectly, but also because he received a large amount of food in advance, and won a lot of reputation for the Hou Mansion in the township when he was hit by the disaster, not to mention, he made a lot of money for the family.

Practice brings true knowledge, and Cui Jin understands that farming is only the basis for making money, and the key is to rely on management.

Five years later, although the Cui family did not achieve the expected goal early and controlled half of the grain of the Daxi Dynasty, it was no longer the Hou Mansion that was poor and white at the beginning, and could only gain a firm foothold in the capital by relying on the status of the Qi family in front of Suzong.

In the past five years, Cui Zhixing has lived up to expectations, and he has been the first in the examination one after another. Because they were going to participate in the examination, Cui Jin and others accompanied Cui Zhixing to return to the capital ahead of schedule.

Cui Zhiwei, Cui Zhili and Cui Zhiyi returned to Beijing together after another three years because they had to learn their own skills.
