A scholar becomes a landlord

Although it was very sad to leave, both Xia Jue and Wei Le had their own responsibilities to bear, so Xia Jue resolutely got into the carriage, poked his head out of the window and waved to Wei Le.

"I will definitely be back."

Xia Jue yelled at him.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Wei Le smiled, and made a trumpet-like response with both hands.

The carriage went farther and farther, and all the people from Wei Zhai came out. Xia Zhengyang and Wei Fan were sent by Wei Le to send Xia Ju back to the capital, and they would come back after Xia Ju returned to the capital.From then on, Xia Zhengyang never had to be separated from Wei Fan again.

Xia Ju kept waving his hands until he could no longer see Wei Le's Li Cun, then turned around and sat in a daze on the carriage. Compared with returning to the cage in the capital, staying in Li Cun was the most comfortable.

If he can, he really doesn't want to go back, but he can't~~

Now not only the capital has been urging him to go back, but even small villages like Li Village have received the news that more than a dozen foreign countries have knocked on their side at the same time. , Ruiqi is too young for fear that he won't be able to hold back!

No matter how reluctant Xia Ju is, he can only leave with a feeling of reluctance.Taking out the small box that Wei Le secretly stuffed for him last night, Wei Le said that he could only open it to read it after he was on the road. Xia Jue thought that he should be able to read it at this time.

So he opened it without hesitation. Not only was he stunned by the contents of the box, but also Mr. Zhao, who wanted to serve him, was also stunned.

"A bill of 30 taels of silver."

Xia Jue's eyes were hot, and he almost couldn't hold back his tears.

Wei Le turned all the bank deposits in the family into bank notes, Xia Jue knew how much Wei Le's family had, and all the money of Yi Feng's husband and wife was here.

It is not easy for Wei Zile and Yi Feng to save the 30 taels of silver. Although the treasury is abundant now, it cannot afford to deal with more than a dozen Fan kingdoms at the same time. Although 30 taels of silver is not a lot, it is enough to deal with the war of a small Fan kingdom. This can be regarded as a solution to the siege of the Daqing Dynasty. At least in terms of budget, a small country can be set aside, and the advance payment will be much more relaxed.

"Master, there is a letter below."

Eunuch Zhao had sharp eyes and immediately saw that there was a letter under the stack of banknotes.

"Let me see."

Xia Jue didn't care about the banknotes, took the letter out of the box, and threw the box to Zhao An, Zhao An hurriedly caught the box, fearing that the banknotes would get wet.

"Old man Xia, you take this bank note. Our family pooled together these 10 taels of silver. Don't feel too little if you don't have too much money. If you think too little, I can't control so much. If you really feel guilty Just teach Xiaosan well, let him take care of the Daqing Dynasty, let the people of Daqing be proud of Daqing, and make Daqing the richest country in the world."

Wei Le wrote a lot in it, but there is only one meaning, there is no need to send the money back, it is for him to use.The most important thing now is to get through the difficulties. If Daqing is invaded by these foreign countries, the people of the world will not be able to please him. In that case, no matter how much money there is, it will be useless, and it will not be cheaper for those foreign people and barbarians.

As early as when Ruiqi was preparing food and grass, Wei Le knew it was not good and there would definitely be a big war, so he let Yi Feng arrange it early, except for saving some money for backup, and dug up other money to exchange for bank notes, bank notes It is common throughout the country, and it can be exchanged into silver when you get it in the capital.

Yi Wei took it from the Four Family Alliance of Cheng, and only collected about [-] silver in total. Although many big households in the county town couldn't get this money out, it was all the deposits of the four families, and no more than four families could get it. not coming out.

They do this not only for themselves, but also for the people of the world.They can no longer charge forward to kill the enemy and defend the country, but they also do their best. In every war, besides people, the most important thing is food, grass and military equipment.

There have been no major natural disasters in Daqing in the past few years, but there have been many minor disasters. Although the treasury has money, sometimes having money does not mean that you can buy grain. Especially in ancient times, many fields were in the hands of big families. In fact, the national treasury does not have much food tax every year.If it weren't for Wei Le in the past few years, the national treasury would have been empty, so how could he have the confidence to fight against so many foreign countries.

In fact, there are so many countries, and Daqing is enough to deal with it. Only the barbarians in the north are the most troublesome. This is a nomadic people. No matter men, women, old or young, they can fight with swords and kill the enemy, and they are all proficient in riding and shooting, so they are the most stressful enemies.

In order to deal with the barbarians, the northern side has the most troops, as long as the other places are not allowed to attack the city gates. Although the number is a little smaller, there are cannons and other defenses, so the pressure is not particularly high.

But just as Xia Jue thought before, all the pressure in Daqing came from the north. The barbarians united dozens of tribes, large and small, to wield knives to grab people and food on the border of Daqing. Shaocun was robbed of food and women, men, old people and children were all killed.

Facing such cruel barbarians, Ruiqi's hands were bruised when he received the memorial.These dead people were all his subjects, and as the emperor of the Daqing Dynasty, it goes without saying that he was angry.

The emperor was furious, and the courtiers naturally couldn't say that peace is the most important thing, they must fight.Beat down all these ambitious foreigners and teach them to be human again.Let them know how powerful the suzerain is, otherwise they will be annoyed if they always take the Daqing Dynasty as a fool!

Now no one dares to say anything about the tolerance of the suzerain. If they don't stand up at this time, do they have to wait until they hit the gate of the capital before they know how to resist?

Therefore, all the people in the court became busy tops and bottoms. It was not a trivial matter for more than a dozen Fan Kingdoms to attack the Daqing Dynasty at the same time.At this moment, they suddenly heard the news that the Supreme Emperor had returned to the palace, and the veterans and newcomers were relieved for a while.

It's not that they have any dissatisfaction with the new emperor, but that the new emperor has not been in the throne for a long time and has never experienced war. In this regard, the Supreme Emperor is a veteran. He was the one who beat all the surrounding Fan Kingdoms to the ground.

So as soon as the Supreme Emperor came back, everyone felt that they had Dinghaishenzhen, and the anxiety in their hearts disappeared in an instant.

Of course, if the new emperor hadn't panicked and ran out of the palace where the Supreme Emperor lived when he received the gift from his husband, it might have been more complete. The hateful thing is that the Supreme Emperor is still laughing behind him, and it is useless to scold the new emperor.Let the new emperor be funny and helpless, his father and husband are really trying to punish him in different ways!But as his son and disciple, he has nothing to do with the old and the young.

The capital temporarily calmed down, and Wei Le, who was far away in Li Village, asked the four families to take out all the food in the house except for the two years' food, even the newly harvested food. After all, the four families can collect tens of thousands of shi of grain and send it to the border.

Their place is the closest to the military camp in the north, and before Xia Juan left, Wei Le asked him for an imperial decree to have the food sent to the border military camp directly, so as not to send it to the capital and be corrupted by others.

As for whether anyone in the military camp would dare to embezzle, Wei Le sneered.If someone dared to reach out for the food he sent, he would dare to chop off their paws.

Yi Feng also wanted to serve as a soldier in the north before, and he knew who would be most at ease in delivering the food, so this time he made a trip in person to deliver it before the heavy snow blocked the road.

"It's the only thing I can do."

Seeing the food delivery team leave, Wei Le had time to deal with family affairs.

He has already started to suspend classes, and the children in the village are all helping the adults at home now. They have also heard the wind and know that the husband has important things to do now, so they usually go to Li Zi when they encounter things they don’t understand. A few, they didn't understand to find Mr.

"You have lived here for a while, are you still used to it?"

Wei Le was sitting in the yard drinking tea, while Chu Jing and Xu Ziqing were standing in front of him.Ever since they knew the relationship between this gentleman and the Supreme Emperor, the two of them were always a little cautious when facing Wei Le.

"No need to be like this, just be casual."

Wei Le laughed when he saw this, it seemed that Xia Jue's existence frightened them.I thought that Xia Jue would be better after leaving, but I didn't expect the two of them to be like this.

"I'm not a scourge, you just treat me as an ordinary friend, don't you think of me as a friend?"

Wei Le deliberately asked with a straight face.

"No no……"

The two of Chu and Jing hurriedly shook their heads. After getting along for a while, they already regarded the people in Wei Zhai as friends.

"Then sit down, don't stand up. You are not tired, I am still tired!"

Wei Le propped his chin with one hand, besides him, there are only these two people in Wei Zhai who can talk to him.Others either have something to do or can't chat with him, it's so boring!

But fortunately, these two people are here, otherwise Yi Feng would really worry about taking Brother Xiang Tian and Cheng Yong to deliver food, because Wei Fan followed him to the capital, and if they weren't with Wei Le, there would be no one to protect them. You said Yi Feng Can you rest assured?

The two readily agreed to Yi Feng's request.

After they came to Li Village, they caused trouble for Wei Le.Although he helped Wei Le back then, it was just a trivial matter, if they didn't really have nowhere to go, they wouldn't bother Wei Le.Wei Le's taking them in has already offset the kindness of the year, not to mention that Wei Le pleaded with Xia Juan, so that the Supreme Emperor's people intentionally or unintentionally obstructed the two families from investigating the whereabouts of the two.

With the help of the Supreme Emperor, Chu State Duke's Mansion and General Xu's Mansion were too busy to talk about it, and they were played around. Wei Le told them after knowing about it, and the two were relieved.Once again, I admire Wei Le's position in the Supreme Emperor's heart. After all, it is about the family affairs of the courtiers, and the Supreme Emperor can ignore it. In the end, the other party not only took care of it, but also Wei Le did what he said.

"Thank you, Brother Wei."

After they thanked each other and sat down, Wei Le poured tea for them.

"Please."

"Please."

The two took a sip and stared at each other. This is the top-quality tribute tea that only the emperor is entitled to drink. It does not exceed one catty a year. I did not expect to drink it in this place.They also drank it once by chance, and it was just that one time. The two of them haven't forgotten the taste until now, so now they taste it as soon as they drink it.

"Any questions?"

Wei Le was puzzled, although he knew the tea he drank, but he didn't know how good it was, this tea was sent by Ruiqi in the capital, and he only said it was for the husband and father, as for what kind of tea, the other party said nothing I didn't mention it either, Xia Jue didn't want to burden her friends, so she kept it a secret.
