Zhen Wanyi was already a little dissatisfied with the red sleeves' assertions several times, and she was even more displeased with the Li family's letting her daughter come forward to plot, but now Aunt Li's behavior not only did not make Zhen Wanyi pity, but became more and more dissatisfied. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I don't think you dare, but too daring. Why did Red Sleeves disappear, you really don't know the slightest sign? What does Red Sleeves think about Xia Hua, will you be unclear as a mother-in-law? A few years ago, I asked you to show the red sleeves, but you kept dragging it until you were almost twenty years old, and you ran away with your brother-in-law to find someone to ask me for, you really treat everyone else as a fool, right? Does the red dress know about this? ”

Seeing Aunt Li's changed expression, Zhen Wanyi was even more angry, "It seems that the red dress knows, why didn't she go to the palace to seek justice from me in person?" Hmph, it's funny that you don't want your two daughters to throw the blame on me when they turn against each other. ”

Aunt Li's face was as white as snow, "No, don't dare, the slave doesn't dare, the princess, please investigate." ”

"What else do you want to find out, split your head and see what you think?"

Aunt Li really didn't dare to speak, and she fell to the ground with obvious crying in her voice, "Please forgive the princess." ”

Zhen Wanyi snorted coldly, and saw that Aunt Li was really scared before she calmed down the anger in her heart a little, "Don't say anything about forgiveness or not, Xia Hua has already helped Red Sleeves redeem the deed of sale, and your son has also entered the army, and now only the deed of sale of your old couple and Red Sleeves is with me, and I will not embarrass you for more than ten years, I will return the deed of sale to you today, you can live your own life." ”

The Li family first managed the grange in Qinghe City, and then managed Zhen Wanyi's nearly 4,000 acres of fertile land in Daxing, Xia Hua helped re-plan, and the grain output was generally higher than that of other families, so many years were in the hands of the Li family, Zhen Wanyi only collected rent, she didn't believe that the Li family didn't make some money.

More than ten years have passed, and the relationship between master and servant should be exhausted today.

It's just that Aunt Li obviously didn't think like this, and looked at Zhen Wanyi with a shocked face, "No, no, princess, the slave and maid will not redeem themselves, the slave and maid family will always serve the princess, and they will never dare to have two hearts, and ask the princess to give the slave and maid a chance, and the slave and maid will no longer dare to make claims." ”

Zhen Wanyi became more and more suspicious when she saw Aunt Li being so anxious, there are still people in this world who are unwilling to be masters and willing to be slaves? There is only one situation if you are willing to be a slave or a maid, and that is that the benefits of being a slave and a maid are better than being your own masters. The Li family manages a huge grange with nearly 100 tenant farmers, where they are the masters, and there are too many people who can do anything about rent.

"No need, you didn't come to me, I will tell you this year, I have other uses for this farm, I don't have to worry about you next year, you came just in time today, Ming'er will go to Daxing with the people of the palace to pick it up."

Wait until next year, Xia Hua should also come back, if she really finds a high-yield crop such as corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes, then she will definitely plant the first batch in her own grange, which is rare and expensive, and she can buy a grange of the same area in Jiangnan in only one year. In a few years, she will have a wide range of planting, and she can also launch a variety of agricultural and sideline dishes, and sweet potato flour is perfect for making hot and sour noodles. Potato flour is used in the fire in winter, stewed until it is white and crystalline, and the soft taste is accompanied by a thick gravy aroma, which is definitely a great delicacy.

Thinking of this, Zhen Wanyi became even more anxious to take back the farm. When Aunt Li was about to speak again, Zhen Wanyi said, "Why, this Daxing Grange is not mine?" ”

Aunt Li can only swallow more words, but her heart is like drinking Coptis water, and she is miserable. Over the years, their Li family has also been a number of characters in Daxing, and when they go out, everyone else has to call Master Li, who doesn't know that that land is Princess Rong's dowry, and who doesn't give the Li family some face? Now it's gone because of her few words.

Zhen Wanyi asked her to take Aunt Li to the guest room to rest, and on the second day, she asked the person introduced by Guardan to go to Daxing with the deed of sale.

A month later, Li Qingshan came back from Daxing, covered in dust but full of energy, and saluted Zhen Wanyi through the screen, and said respectfully: "I have seen the princess in my humble position, and I am not dishonored, and I have brought all the account books of Daxing." ”

Lu Liu took it from Li Qingshan's hand and handed it to Zhen Wanyi, Zhen Wanyi turned a few pages and closed it, "But what's the big problem?" ”

Li Qingshan muttered secretly for a while before he said: "The princess's fields are all connected together, and they are extremely energetic, this Uncle Li is worthy of being a good hand at serving the crops, and the yield per mu is much higher than others, no wonder he can receive so much rent and have a balance of more than one hundred taels every year." ”

Li Qingshan is a tent gentleman in the front yard of the palace, and the front yard of the palace manages the income and expenditure of the entire palace, that is, Zhen Wanyi's annual management of the backyard is also taken from the front yard account, but there is more than the account every year.

What Li Qingshan meant by this was that every year, the Li family secretly hid more than 100 taels of silver from her.

"Is it about the same every year, or is it more and more every year?"

Li Qingshan showed a smile on his face, but his voice became more and more calm, "In the first two years, it was thirty or forty taels, and then the harvest in the grange gradually rose year by year, but it was one hundred and sixty taels in the past three years." ”

Zhen Wanyi looked at Li Qingshan in surprise, this person is very capable, the account books of more than 4,000 acres of land for nearly nine years, he can check it so clearly in just one month, it is really not simple.

"Did you give them the deed of sale?"

"Back to the princess's words, the humble duty was given. The humble duty feels that this Li family is not an insatiable black hearted person, they are greedy but greedy in a certain range, and will not exceed the limit of the master's family, so the humble duty feels forgivable. After speaking, he looked at the hazy figure behind him through the screen embroidered with flowers and peonies, and added, "When the water is clear, there are no fish, and some things can only be completed with one eye open and one eye closed." I have exceeded my duties, and I ask the princess to forgive me. ”

If it weren't for the fact that the prince personally summoned him and told him two words before leaving, he would not have used his lifelong enthusiasm to clean up the account books of a small grange. You must know that the account book of the palace is tens of thousands of taels in and out, which can be compared to the small grange that enters and exits only a few thousand a year? But who made the prince value it, so he could only use the whole body to complete such a small task, and also helped solve the princess's worries.

This man of the Li family is not bad, but Aunt Li is unwilling, so she has to beat a few words after clearing the account. Fortunately, I know what is good, and with the evidence in my hand, I am not afraid of what waves the Li family will make.

Zhen Wanyi took the account book and didn't look at it carefully, and directly sent Hu Niu's brother and sister-in-law to Daxing to officially take over the grange there. Then he picked a few maids from the house to let the green willow Yang Yi take them, and now that there are more children, they have to put some trustworthy and stable maids around them. Especially Brother Heng, a few days ago, Qi Rong actually said that he would find two dignified maids for Qi Rong to put in the room, which made Zhen Wanyi worried.
