Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 1223 If you can't afford it, why don't you let others buy it?

"Hehe, this is all my own thinking here. After all, the second brother and the others are going to take the township examination next month." Fang Xiaofu laughed again, and began to justify himself.

"Although they just want to take the exam and are not in a hurry to go to Beijing to take the exam, who can say for sure when it comes to next year? Just like this time, they will go to the provincial exam. Why don't they just sign up when they say it?"

"I thought they were going to become officials when they were still young. My brother has already entered the court. Will he be squeezed out? Will he offend others? Hey, the more I think about it, the more I think..."

Fang Xiaofu sighed exaggeratedly, curled his lips and smiled embarrassedly.

"Xiao Qi'er, don't blame uncle for talking about you, you really think too much. But uncle understands you, and you are also worried about them, just like I am worried about your second, third, and fourth uncles. Only when you experience it can you understand it.”

Xu Shouye shook his head, not to mention, such a topic can really resonate and empathize with him.But Xiao Qi'er's another level of worry also aroused his vigilance.

No matter whether the little girl is on purpose or not, it is very dangerous to stand on the wrong team in the court.

Not to mention who is more powerful, Orthodox or Ye Luzi, just considering that Mr. Tianyi, as a staunch orthodox faction, has already entered the court, this momentum is obvious.

Those officials may have some calculations, but there are many officials, large and small, who entered the court at the same time as Mr. Tianyi. As the little girl said just now, they are all newborn calves.

They are like a stream of fresh water, which will make the court present a different look, and when they have to stand in line, they must squeeze behind Mr. Tianyi without any accidents.

The little girl was actually hinting to him, don't let his younger brothers stand on the wrong team and become an enemy of Mr. Tianyi, right?
Indeed, this is not good for them or the Xu family.

Thinking of this, Xu Shouye's expression became much clearer. While eating grapes, Fang Xiaofu was also observing Uncle Xu's expression. Seeing that his brows relaxed and his eyes became firmer, he felt relieved. .

If the uncle of the Xu family can control the power of the Xu family, it will be a good thing not to be used by others, even if it is not orthodox, at least not to cause chaos.

"Xiao Qi'er, don't think about these things in the future, think more about cake recipes and biscuits. It's hot these days. It's really good to have a piece of cake when you don't want to eat."

Xu Shouye put down his teacup and brought the topic back to business.

"I know, Uncle, I've actually been thinking about it recently, but it's hard to concentrate when there are too many things." Fang Xiaofu smiled brightly, and suddenly said, "To tell you the truth, Uncle, the business I talked about last time in the capital is about to It's opening, so I'm nervous."

"Oh? Prosperity and Famous Garden?" Xu Shouye's eyes lit up, he became interested immediately, then his smile collapsed, and he complained, "Little Qi'er talks about such a big business with people, it's a pity that uncle didn't make it in time ah."

It has been so long, and it still hurts when I mention it now.

"Uncle has never been idle. This business is getting bigger and better." Fang Xiaofu laughed, not directly responding to the sour emotions.

Xu Shouye also laughed and stopped talking about it.The topic returned to next month's mooncake business. After talking about the business for a while, Xu Shouye was about to leave.

Because he was rushing to the capital, there was still a lot of preparations to be done, and he didn't stay in the other garden for dinner, but when he left, he suddenly asked Fang Xiaofu if she would go to the capital when the Famous Garden opened.

Fang Xiaofu showed a troubled expression, saying that it depends on whether his brothers are busy or not.After Xu Shouye left, her expression suddenly collapsed, and she sighed sadly.

Shengshi Mingyuan started to be created last year, and it has been busy with construction throughout the winter, spring, and summer.There are dozens of people involved in the big steward, not to mention the small steward.

Such a big battle is not considered news in the capital. No matter what class of people are looking forward to it curiously, they don't even know what the Prosperity and Famous Garden is.

Shengshi Mingyuan is more like a large manor, with gardens, roads, rockeries, canals, ponds, yards, pavilions, pavilions... plus its name "Shengshi Mingyuan".

Many people think that it is a large manor, and it is built by the owner of Ruyizhai, the wealthy merchant Zhao's family.Therefore, people who knew the Zhao family thought they were building a villa.

But the Zhao family didn't know what was being built, and they couldn't comment on other people's curiosity.But instead, various speculations, discussions and even rumors emerged.

The forces that had been supporting and wooing the Zhao family were ready to move, but Zhao Shulang said lightly that it was just a garden.I didn't dare to say more after that.

But even though he explained it, he didn't say anything.There are too many people building gardens, but who will buy a few streets to build?It's just that Zhao Shulang rarely showed up afterwards.

Now the prosperous and famous gardens in the southwest of the capital are about to open, but the barren land outside the southwest city has not been bought yet.In the beginning, it was an unowned wasteland, but the Yamen always had a reason to procrastinate.

Later, Zhao Shulang went to the yamen to tell the truth, saying that since the yamen didn't even release the wasteland, he had no choice but to go to the Ministry of Industry to ask why.

In this era, all land, farming, construction, water conservancy, transportation, etc. are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, but owned farmland, forests, etc. are also managed by the Ministry of Households.

The Six Departments of the Central Committee of the Central Committee have six offices in each county government to be responsible for the local work.But in the capital city, if the purchase of the land was not successful, it was for such a reason that he could directly go to the Ministry of Industry to sue.

Only then did news come out that the land had long been favored by Prince Rui's son, and they were raising money to buy it.Since the children of the royal family want to buy it, the yamen naturally dare not sell it outside, they can only wait for others to raise all the money, right?
It's good to have the answer, it was almost Chinese New Year at that time, but after Prince Ying's son finished fighting with King Fu, he turned to talk about the land purchase by Prince Rui's son as a joke in the court hall.

He raised three questions in the court, why would Prince Rui take a fancy to a piece of land that was so barren that no one would buy it?Why do you want to buy but only let go and never buy?If you can't afford it, why not let others buy it?

All the ministers were startled for a while, some secretly lamented that the little overlord was fighting for a piece of land again, and some secretly watched the excitement.

The sons of the princes have no real positions and no edicts, so they cannot go to the court to discuss politics, but the sons of the British king are also the Marquis of Anning.

Because he went to court every day and often found faults, the King of England felt ashamed, and he had already been sick at home, disdaining to discuss politics with his son.

But the matter of buying the land was started by the Marquis of An Ning, and the other three Marquis immediately responded, which is really embarrassing.Especially King Rui's face turned dark, his fists clenched in his wide sleeves, he didn't know whether he was blaming his son for his incompetence, or angry at his nephew for causing trouble.

But when things get noisy, it is not easy for anyone to buy, and whoever buys will become the target of suspicion.
