Although the female soldiers under Zhao Yanhuan are stronger than the male soldiers, men naturally despise women.

So when Zhao Yanhuan arrived in Yi'an Prefecture with [-] guards including [-] women, Wei Yizhe, the magistrate of Yi'an Prefecture, didn't feel any threat after receiving the news.

In Wei Yizhe's view, Zhao Yanhuan is a big businessman under Prime Minister Dong Guan.

But any big businessman has to travel north and south to do business. The world is so chaotic, and it is impossible to go out without a guard.

So it was normal for a big businessman to have several thousand guards, Wei Yizhe was not surprised.

Especially when he learned that there were so many women in the guard, Wei Yizhe even looked down upon him a bit.

I just think that it is really not good for a woman to be a businessman. The guard actually uses a woman. Isn't it free to meet bandits?

Of course, on the surface Wei Yizhe didn't dare to show the slightest contempt, this is Prime Minister Dong Guan's man.

Moreover, in order to pave the way for the other party, Dong Guan also uprooted the entire Wang family of the local emperor in Yi'an Prefecture vigorously and vigorously in advance, without giving any face to the family behind the Wang family.

Although Wei Yizhe was also from a noble family, he did not dare to provoke Dong Guan.

The other party has great power, because the emperor trusts and even has military power, the family will not easily confront Dong Guan head-on.

So when Zhao Yanhuan came to visit directly, Wei Yizhe was very enthusiastic and asked the housekeeper to bring him to his private house.

Wei Yizhe is a fat middle-aged man, at first glance he is very kind, as if he is easy to talk to.

When Zhao Yanhuan saw Wei Yizhe, when he was about to salute, Wei Yizhe gave him a little help.

"Miss Zhao, don't be too polite. You are the Prime Minister's man, so we are considered a family. We will come and go often in the future, so don't be too polite."

That's right, Wei Yizhe, who used to be in cahoots with the Wang family, directly uprooted the Wang family himself after receiving Dong Guan's order to bring down the Wang family.

Wei Yizhe's attack was very ruthless, and the Wang family, a family that paid him a lot of gold and silver, was treated badly by him.

Wei Yizhe even used this to climb into Dong Guan's door, not only kept his official position, but also had a better future in the future, which shows how tactful he is.

So even though he looked down on Zhao Yanhuan very much, when they actually met, he didn't show the slightest bit of contempt.

Wei Yizhe first expressed his closeness to himself, and Zhao Yanhuan also showed a two-point closeness on his face.

"It's all for Mr. Xiang. In the future, I will ask Master Zhizhou to take care of me."

After Zhao Yanhuan finished speaking, he waved his hands behind him, and the servants who were carrying two boxes behind him immediately stepped forward, put the boxes in front of Wei Yizhe, and opened them directly.

After the box was opened, Wei Yizhe's eyes were attracted by the contents of the box.

Of the two boxes that Zhao Yanhuan brought, one was full of silver ingots, which contained 1000 taels of silver.

In another box is a set of glass wine sets that Zhao Yanhuan got.

Among them, the overall shape of the jug is a big crystal clear peacock, and the wine glasses are small peacocks with different shapes.

These peacocks have different postures and vivid expressions, and each one is different. It is said that it is a wine set, but it is more like a set of art.

Wei Yizhe didn't look at the 1000 taels of silver, although 1000 taels was a lot, it really wasn't in his eyes.

What he was more interested in was this set of glazed wine utensils.

Wei Yizhe valued the wine set not only because of its beauty, but also because the value of this set of glazed wine set with such a good appearance must not be low, and it is by no means comparable to a mere thousand taels of silver.

Zhao Yanhuan smiled at Wei Yizhe and said, "I don't know what Master Zhizhou likes, so I prepared this set of glass wine sets and gave it to Master Zhizhou to enjoy."

Wei Yizhe carefully picked up a wine glass, looked at it carefully, and praised: "Good thing, these peacocks have different postures and come alive, they must be made by everyone. This is the first time I have seen such clear glass. "

Wei Yizhe couldn't put it down, he decided to turn around and build a special display stand, and put this set of drinking utensils alone, even if it is not used for drinking, it is very satisfying to appreciate it every day.

After admiring it for a long time, Wei Yizhe reluctantly put down the wine glass in his hand and asked the servants around him to put away the things.

Watching the servants put away the things safely, Wei Yizhe looked at Zhao Yanhuan with a more genuine smile.

"Miss Zhao, I have already counted and registered all the land of the Wang family according to the order of the Prime Minister. Miss Zhao is now ready to take over."

"My butler will accompany Ms. Zhao. If there is anything inconvenient or unclear, he can help Ms. Zhao to deal with it."

Obviously, Zhao Yanhuan gave the right gift, and Wei Yizhe liked it very much, so he asked his housekeeper to accompany Zhao Yanhuan.

To take over the land of the Wang family, it has to be divided into two parts. The first part is the land registered by the Wang family in the government. Zhao Yanhuan has to buy these according to the market price and go to the government to apply for a red deed.

In the future, these lands will have to pay taxes, because Zhao Yanhuan is a businessman, not a family, and there is no preferential treatment for tax exemption.

However, Zhao Yanhuan relied on Dong Guan, even if he paid taxes, he only had to pay a small amount of normal taxes, and there would be no other miscellaneous taxes that forced the common people to starve to death in a good year.

Of course, this part of the registered land is only a small part, and the real big part is the large number of hidden fields of the Wang family, which are not registered with the government.

If Zhao Yanhuan didn't make friends with Wei Yizhe first, but came up directly to take over the Wang family's land, then Zhao Yanhuan would definitely not get all the hidden fields of the Wang family.

Officials at all levels exploited one by one, and in the end they could give Zhao Yanhuan half as much as possible.

Even if Zhao Yanhuan is dissatisfied, it's useless. Yintian, which is not registered with the government, can't be verified at all, and there are as many people as they say.

But now that there is Wei Yizhe's housekeeper, it means that Wei Yizhe, the biggest official in Yi'an Prefecture, is on Zhao Yanhuan's side.

In this way, the officials in the entire Yi'an Prefecture would not dare to trip Zhao Yanhuan and covet the land that should have been given to Zhao Yanhuan.

This is also the reason why Zhao Yanhuan first visited Wei Yizhe and gave him gifts as soon as he arrived.

Qianglong doesn't overwhelm local snakes, no matter how powerful Dong Guan is, these old fritters officials can do one thing to the face and another to the back.

The butler Wei Yizhe sent was a very shrewd middle-aged man. Before starting work, Zhao Yan sent him five hundred li of silver.

The housekeeper was very happy, and he worked very actively in the next step. He helped Zhao Yanhuan deal with various officials throughout the whole process, and very smoothly took all the land of the Wang family into Zhao Yanhuan's hands.

After Zhao Yanhuan collected all the land of the Wang family, he discovered that the land occupied by the Wang family was more than Zhao Yanhuan expected, occupying almost half of the land in Yi'an Prefecture.

With so much land being taken over by the Wang family, one can imagine how sad life will be for the people of Yi'an Prefecture.

Besides the land in Yi'an Prefecture, what surprised Zhao Yanhuan was that the Wang family also had a large pasture in Qingmiao Prefecture next door.
