Chapter 735: Copying the Book
"This manager must be very capable!"
Wei Youqing smiled and said: "This is natural, he is not an outsider, he is the righteous brother of his father-in-law, named Yixin." He used to follow his father-in-law and help him take care of the house, and now he comes to help me. He just doesn't like to be an official, otherwise with his talent, why not be a Zaifu? β
Li Taoyao nodded, swallowed the last bite of sugar cake, and shook her head suspiciously: "But even so, what can it do?" It's just some businessmen......"
When Li Taoyao said this, he was alert that there was a contempt for businessmen in his words. But the father and son of Wei Youqing in front of him are the identity of the imperial businessman.
Li Taoyao secretly regretted it in her heart, but Wei Youqing nodded approvingly: "You're right, that's all, of course it's nothing." But what if most of the land in the states and counties was in my hands? β
Li Taoyao looked at Wei Youqing in disbelief and said, "Won't it?" It seems that it is not possible to hoard land like this......"
Wei Youqing said with a smile: "Of course not, in fact, even if someone goes to Jiangnan Province to check, not a single cent of the land in Jiangnan Province is mine." There are now four largest landlords in Jiangnan Province, and their surnames are Hua, Wu, Sun, and Yu. These four families occupy forty percent of the land in the south of the Yangtze River, and the rest are small landlords. β
Li Taoyao's eyes lit up, she looked directly at Wei Youqing, and said with a smile: "I guess, you have to tell me next that fifty percent of the remaining sixty percent of the small landlords are actually yours." β
Wei Youqing laughed, poured a cup of tea for Li Taoyao, and said, "It's comfortable to talk to smart people, and you can explain everything clearly in one sentence." β
Li Taoyao was praised by Wei Youqing, she was in a very good mood, and asked with a smile: "What about the four families of Hua, Wu, Sun, and Yu?" You told me that most of the land in Gangnam Province is in your hands, and now it is only half of it. β
"The Hua family accounts for one and a half percent of these forty percent of the land, and they are the famous Tanzhou Huafu. Now that their housekeeper has left the house for some reason, the young master of Washington does not like to bother with mundane things, and because he is friendly with me, he entrusts him to me. Now Uncle Yixin helps Washington take care of the land.
The Wu family and the Sun family have children as officials, and they and I Pearl Island have always had well water that does not interfere with river water, and each of them occupies a percentage of the land. The rest of the Yu family is the boss of the Jiangnan Che Ma Gang, and has a deep relationship with the Yazhu Guild. β
Li Taoyao doesn't understand the meaning of this "deep origin", and she doesn't know that in Jiangnan today, the Chema Gang is no longer cooperating with Wei Youqing, but completely taking refuge in Wei Youqing.
Yu Fangfang was optimistic about the young hero's Chen Wang Ye before Li Chengyu succeeded to the throne, and the close relationship between the Yazhu Guild Hall and the two princes made Yu Fangfang take refuge in Wei Youqing without hesitation when the news of Qian Miao's death came out.
After Li Chengyu succeeded to the throne, Wei Youqing's status was in full swing, and the Yazhu Hall was now a fake snake in Jiangnan Province. Officials of all sizes in Jiangnan Province and officials at the gates of various yamen, as long as they arrive in Jiangnan, they must visit the local Yazhu Hall.
These are just things that everyone sees, and secretly Wei Youqing's relationship with Xu Weiran and Yue Wupeng has made Wei Youqing a figure who can't get around the black and white roads of Jiangnan Province.
"Tao Yao, if you are Your Majesty, will you let me go back to Jiangnan? We'd better not even mention it. β
"Youqing," Li Taoyao listened to Wei Youqing's words, but became even more scared, she grabbed Wei Youqing's hand on the desk, and the warmth from the other party's hand made her feel a little calmer, "Can Your Majesty let you do this?" I'm afraid he's going to hurt you. β
Wei Youqing smiled indifferently. "Hurt me? Don't worry, no one can harm me in this mortal world. Wei Youqing's eyes narrowed, as if he was thinking about many past events, "I also believe that Your Majesty will not harm me." β
Li Taoyao was finally relieved when she saw him say this, but there seemed to be something in Wei Youqing's expression that made her uncomfortable.
Li Taoyao shook her head gently, shook some strange things away, and then smiled at Wei Youqing: "Okay, after talking about it, it's time for me to go to the study to copy the book." β
Wei Youqing smiled: "I'll go too, and I'll give you ink." β
Seeing him like this, Li Taoyao laughed and said, "Then how can you work hard to drive the marquis?" Seeing that Wei Youqing was about to wave his hand, the conversation changed, "It's better for the little woman to study ink, and Master Hou will copy two copies for me in imitation of my words, right?" β
Wei Youqing was so amused by Li Taoyao's words that she couldn't cry or laugh, and she was about to change her face and tickle her. Li Taoyao was afraid of itching and told him again and again, "It's funny!" Funny! Spare your life! β
Wei Youqing laughed and withdrew his hand, took Li Taoyao's hand, and the two ran along the porch to the study, and the birds along the way were startled, and the maids and maids retreated and bowed their heads.
The white long-haired dog lying on the swing shelf woke up at this moment, shaking his fat ass and pounced on Li Taoyao.
Li Taoyao was startled, but she saw the dog wagging its tail at her, and her cute look was really cute, so she reached out and hugged it.
"It's a snow wolf, your dog." Wei Youqing knew that Li Taoyao didn't remember the snow wolf, so he told her directly.
"Snow ...... Wolf? Li Taoyao couldn't help but look at the little short-legged long-haired dog with a naΓ―ve face in his hand, "Where does it look like a wolf?" Let's call it Xuetuaner! β
Wei Youqing doesn't like dogs, and in his opinion, the fangs of any dog make him feel uncomfortable. It was only because the snow wolf was Li Taoyao's dog that people picked it up from Wupeng Villa.
The four treasures of the study room have been placed in the study, Li Taoyao knelt down in front of the desk, put Xue Tuan'er in front of the desk, and was just about to pick up the pen to copy, Wei Youqing came over, helped Li Taoyao fold up the big sleeves, pulled them up, and said: "Fold the sleeves well, otherwise the sleeves will be swiped by the sleeves for a long time, and it will be time to cry again." β
Li Taoyao watched Wei Youqing carefully help him fold his sleeves, and at this moment he felt that his heart was warmed by Wei Youqing.
She was so in love that she suddenly straightened up and kissed Wei Youqing lightly on the cheek. Then even she herself was stunned, and she was about to cover her face and run away, but she was held in her arms by Wei Youqing.
Wei Youqing's heart was full of joy at that moment, she picked up Li Taoyao's face, and said with a smile: "I still want to run after I recruit you, don't you?" Kissed Li Taoyao's cherry lips directly.
Li Taoyao felt that the whole world was confused, although this was not the first time she had kissed Wei Youqing, but Li Taoyao felt that it was the first time, the first time she was so emotional, and she couldn't help but cater to it.
It wasn't until Xue Tuan'er pounced on the two of them and shouted "Wang, Wang, Wang" that Li Taoyao came to her senses and realized that she had rolled onto the thick carpet with Wei Youqing at some point.
Li Taoyao's heart couldn't be suppressed, and her cheeks were hot. Xue Tuan'er desperately threw herself into Li Taoyao's arms, a little frightened but very brave and bared her teeth at Wei Youqing.
