Moreover, the Xin family is rich, right?

Then be more sympathetic to the tenants of the Xin family.

After the dinner was cooked in the kitchen, Li Qiao interrupted the conversation between Xin Zhi and Li Yu'an, it was time for dinner.

The weather is cold, Zheng Qianqian, Li Xia is not good to take Li Erbao and Brother Tangerine around, and they know that Xin Zhi is here, Li Yunning and Li Xiaolan did not come, so today's dinner is Li Qian Taozhu took Li Xiaorui, Li Changfeng, Li Yunfan, and the three little guys to eat with Xin Zhi and Li Yu'an.

Li Qiao's staple food is still snail noodles, and while he eats, he talks about Zhuangzi through Li Liang Wang Guihua.

It is now the slack period, but Li Liang and Wang Guihua have set up a small sweet potato vermicelli workshop, so the couple is quite busy, just like Li Dashan and Li Shu, who take care of the shop, they go out early and return late every day.

However, the couple's main business is farming.

It had not snowed for a long time, and the couple talked about what would happen after the beginning of spring, and planned to dig a few more wells in his family's grange.

"Comfortable, do you have many wells on your farm?" Li Qiao asked casually.

When Li Yu'an heard this, she also looked at Xin Zhi on the other side of the table.

"Uh...... It should be enough. ”

Xin Zhi couldn't answer.

Although he already knew how difficult it was for farmers to farm, he paid attention to the farmers in Dasheng as a whole, and he didn't know about his family's tenants and granges.

He hadn't wandered around his farm......

But it is obvious that in front of the Li family, his answer is not enough.

Facing the sight of Li Qian and Li Yu'an, he immediately said: "After I go home tonight, I will ask the housekeeper who is in charge of this area, and when I take a break next time, I will personally go to the Grange for a field trip." ”

Li Qiao wanted this, but it was not enough, he made a look of reminiscing about the past: "Planting crops, the most tiring work is watering the ground, it is good to have a cart at home, if there is no cart, then you can only use a flat pole to carry a bucket, bucket by bucket to irrigate the crops." ”

"But a bucket of water is so little, but an acre of land is so big, I think about the situation when my eldest brother and sister-in-law and my father and mother watered the land in the past, I hate to kill my former self."

These words resonated with Li Yu'an, and he nodded his little head: "When I was in the Song family before, my mother carried a flat pole to water the wheat, and both shoulders were bloody from the flat pole. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xin Zhi couldn't help but gasp.

He didn't know about it before!

"Xiao Yu'an, don't worry, I will definitely fill the Xin family's grange with wells, and I will never let those tenants worry about watering the crops."

He patted his chest and reassured.

You can't be sad because of the lack of wells.

"You're so nice." Li Yu'an couldn't help but smile, and her eyes lit up when she looked at Xin Zhi.

Xin Zhi was looked at by this look, and immediately straightened his back, and said: "Not only the grange here in the capital is digging wells, but I will also explain to those who should dig wells, and those who should dig ditches must make every tenant of the Xin family not worry about irrigation." ”

"Hmm...... Wouldn't that be too much of a hassle? ”

When Li Yu'an heard this, she didn't care about knowing it, but was a little apprehensive.

He commanded Xin Zhi to do things in the Xin family before he got married to Xin Zhi, what would the Xin family think of him......

"It's not troublesome, how can it be troublesome? It's just a matter of one sentence. Don't worry, my family is fine, so I won't have an opinion on you because of such a trivial matter. ”

Xin Zhi took in Li Yu'an's worried little expression, understood what he was worried about, and immediately spoke out to make him relax.

"Really?" Li Yu'an was a little skeptical.

"Of course it's true! If you don't believe me, you can ask your fourth uncle. Xin Zhi pointed at Li Qiao.

Li Qiao immediately said: "This is indeed a trivial matter for the Xin family, Yu'an, don't take it to heart." ”

With Li Qiao's words, Li Yu'an was finally relieved, and he smiled at Xin Zhi: "Your family is so good. ”

"That's not it, after my family was disgusted by the emperor, I can still enjoy the glory and wealth in peace, just because the family is good."

Xin Zhi was a little proud, and couldn't help but start talking about the generous deeds of his family.

His family members are very good-natured, and they don't engage in bullying and preying on the common people, they eat, drink and have fun all day long, and enjoy the peaceful days.

Of course, his family also wants to return to the center of power in Dasheng, but this is what his grandfather, father, and uncle should consider.

The relatives of his Xin family eat and drink every day, buy and buy all kinds of things, and enjoy a rich life.

If Xiao Yu'an got married, she would have lived this kind of life.

However, Xiao Yu'an is used to being busy, he can hand over the affairs of his own courtyard to Xiao Yu'an to manage, if Xiao Yu'an wants to help in the shop, then he also supports it.

Eating and drinking is a day.

It is also a day to work diligently.

Anyway, Xiao Yu'an is happy.

Li Yu'an listened to these words, the more she listened, the more she couldn't hold back the smile on her face, Li Qian sat aside, although she wanted to interrupt Xin Zhi's words, but for the sake of Xin Zhi's happy promise to make irrigation facilities for the Xin family's fields, he couldn't help but want to intervene between the two of them.

The Xin family actually doesn't have much land in Shengjing, and the Xin family's fields are all in their hometown, with 500,000 acres of arable land, all over Huaidong Mansion, where the Xin family is located.

If the Xin family builds water conservancy in their hometown, it will benefit the people of the entire Huaidong Mansion.

Now Xiao Yu'an has solved the irrigation problem of the entire Huaidong Mansion with just one sentence, and this Xin family is indeed worthy of being entrusted for life.

After dinner, Xin Zhi stayed for a while, and then reluctantly left under Li Qiao's urging.

Not long after Xin Zhi left, the Li family, who had been busy outside for a day, came back.

Today's Li family has happy events:

Li Ershan fell in love with a girl and wanted to go to this girl's house to propose marriage.

This is a big deal in the Li family.

Li Ershan is twenty-two years old this year, and he will be twenty-three after the New Year, which is a proper older youth in ancient times.

Li Qiao had a family affair with him and Li Xia a few years ago, Li Xia fell in love with Zhao Shen at first sight, and now the orange brother born to Zhao Shen is more than a year old, and he finally has a move!

Li Qiao was very concerned and hurriedly asked who this girl was.

Although Li Ershan has long been able to take charge on his own, he is much more mature than before, but he is still a little embarrassed when it comes to the girl he likes.

"It's Miss Fan Jiawu who does coal business in Xishan Province, she loves to eat duck goods, and always goes to our shop, I see that she is very kind, so I ......."

Speaking of this, he coughed lightly: "I feel that she has a good impression of me, and always looks at me secretly, so I came back and asked you, uncle, how is this Fan family?" Can this be done? ”

"Fan family, ......"

Li Qiao was a little surprised.

The Fan family is in the coal business, and there are several coal mines in the family.

Previously, when Sheng Hongguang invited people with strong financial resources to divide the Grand Canal wharf, the Fan family successfully won a wharf located in the south of the Yangtze River, which shows the financial strength of the Fan family.

His impression of the Fan family was still good, because he heard a few words from Zhao Daren of the Ministry of Industry, saying that the Fan family's coal business was very safety-oriented, and even if there was a mining disaster, the compensation would be enough.

However, now Li Ershan is actually eye-to-eye with the fifth lady of the Fan family?

It was so unexpected.

Previously, his official position was low, and Li Ershan's range of choices was not wide, but in the past two years, he has been promoted to an official position, and Li Ershan is a little picky.

Because there are too many people who come to the door to be matchmakers.

Among them, there are also noble families, and these nobles are willing to marry their noble daughters and noble brothers.

But after Li Ershan looked at each other quietly, he didn't agree.

Li Ershan looks ordinary, grew up in the countryside since he was a child, and has followed Li Qiao around the city, the capital, and the capital in recent years.

In the final analysis, there is a world of difference between it and the noble daughters and noble brothers raised by big families.

Xin Zhi and Li Yu'an can get along well, more because Xin Zhi, the son of the Hou Mansion, lacks heart and eyes, has a simple temperament, and has no problems with self-esteem and contempt for people.

But Xin knows this lack of heart, and he can't find a few in the capital, so Li Ershan is not interested in the noble girl and noble brother who introduced him.

These noble ladies and noble brothers are amiable on the face, but in fact they dislike him as a rough man from the countryside.

Ken went on a blind date with him, purely for Li Qiao.

Li Ershan doesn't like these people.

But now Li Ershan has fallen in love with the fifth lady of the Fan family!

Then this fifth lady of the Fan family should be a good person.

"I'll do a good job and give you the results in the near future." Li Qiao said with a smile.

If Li Ershan really marries the fifth miss of the Fan family, then the fifth miss of the Fan family will live in the Li family, and there will be one more person in the family, so he must inquire carefully.

The next day, Li Qiao first went to the Ministry of Industry to find Lord Zhao.

In Dasheng, the coal is under the control of the Ministry of Industry.

After inquiring from Zhao Da's mouth, he went to Lang Zhong, the head of the household department in charge of Xishan Province, to inquire about the Fan family's taxes, land properties, household registration and other matters.

At the same time, he also sent people to the vicinity of Fan's house and Fan's shop to inquire about the Fan family and the fifth lady of the Fan family.

Of course, in the hometown of the Fan family in Xishan Province, he also hired people from Royal Logistics to go to find out the news.

After this round of probing, he didn't find any fault.

Tao Zhu also took out the donation list of Shantang, and the Fan family donated thousands of warm clothes in the second wave of donations.

So, Li Qiao first sent the matchmaker to Fan's house to talk to Fan's family, the head of the Fan family, and then on the twentieth day of the lunar month, he deliberately took a day off and took Li Ershan and Li Liangwang Guihua to Fan's house to propose marriage.

The Fan family was naturally ecstatic and tried their best to entertain Li Qiao and his party, lest Li Qiao be dissatisfied and make this family affair yellow.

Li Qiao was naturally satisfied.

The Fan family, whether in Xishan Province or Shengjing, has a good reputation, and not only has several mines at home, but also has 300,000 acres of cultivated land at home, and is a proper landowner.

With so much arable land, as he did when he talked to Xin Zhi, he naturally mentioned the hardships that Li Liang, Wang Guihua, Li Ershan and other Li family members had suffered because of farming.

Li Liang and Wang Guihua have planted crops for half their lives, and they have a special say on this topic, plus they have a common topic to talk about with Fan Bu, so the two have been spinning on this topic.

The couple has always been able to carry it clearly, at present, Li Ershan and the fifth miss of the Fan family are just married, besides, even if they really get married, the couple will not point fingers at the affairs of the Fan family, so what they are talking about is their own business.

But Fan didn't listen.

As a big fat sheep who is easy to slaughter, Fan Bu is particularly able to figure out the thoughts of the superiors, Li Qiao, like Sheng Hong, shows his preferences and style of acting clearly, and never engages in moodiness and concealment.

Thinking of Li Qiao's generosity, generosity, and compassion for the people at the bottom, Fan Bu secretly made a decision that in the future, the Fan family should treat their own tenants in line with Lord Li.
