I was a gentleman in ancient times

Xie Zhuo was going to arrange the tea tree seeds. This kind of thing was not very complicated. He could easily handle it by himself, but he just brought Tao Jin together.

Tao Jin was very speechless, what's the matter with me intervening in your business?Besides, the relationship between the two of us may not be so good, right?It's nothing more than walking together all the way.

No matter what Xie Zhuo said, he has always dealt with Tao Jin very well, but he is just sloppy.How can a humble gentleman like Tao Jin be able to defeat him?Often also had to surrender.

After saying goodbye to Wei Su, the two walked out.Tao Jin flicked the sleeves held by Xie Zhuo, and stared at him, "What does this have to do with me, why did you drag me out?" He still wanted to say goodbye to his husband, this man is really unreasonable.

Xie Zhuo crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows to look at him, "Do you have eyesight? Mr. Wei has just become an official and is busy with his affairs. Why are you disturbing Mr.?"

Tao Jin was taken aback for a moment, what he said made sense, but he was not convinced.He raised his chin and said, "How can this be called an interruption, can't I stay and help Mr. Wei?"

"Can you help? Are you sure it's not helping?"

The words meant something, Tao Jin blushed, and there was no end to it, grabbing her sore foot and refusing to let go, this person is really annoying!

"I'm too lazy to argue with you, I'll go back to the guest house, you can do it yourself!"

Just as he was about to leave, Xie Zhuo grabbed him by the hand and pulled him hard. Tao Jin fell into Xie Zhuo's arms without any warning.

As soon as he looked up, he saw the corner of Xie Zhuo's raised mouth, which seemed to be a smile but not a smile. Tao Jin blushed and struggled to get up. Under the urgency, her voice changed, "What are you doing! Let go!"

Because of the anger, Tao Jin's face was red and her eyes were red, as if she could cry at any time.

Xie Zhuo likes his appearance the most, every time he provokes him to blow up, he always looks so wronged, Xie Zhuo can't stop, he is the only one who can bully him.

Seeing that the person was really anxious, Xie Zhuo's brows and eyes were filled with joy, and he was content to stop teasing him.He reached out and took off the dead leaves from his hair, and put them in front of Tao Jin, "I'll help you remove the leaves, you should thank me."

As he spoke, he let go of his hand.Tao Jin immediately bounced away, looked around, and was relieved when she saw no one around, "Who wants you to pretend to be kind? Just wait and see!"

Tao Jin sternly put down a harsh word, and ran away like a frightened little rabbit.

Hearing the deep laughter from Xie Zhuo behind him, Tao Jin's heartbeat accelerated for no reason, and she panicked even more.

Xie Zhuo, the tea tree seed, just needs to write a letter to Lingnan and Central Shu, and someone there will handle it and organize a convoy to send it over.

Wei Su was short of manpower here, and the two of them were not in a hurry to leave, so they settled down here first, so that Mr. Wei could use their place at any time, and they could obey.

Within a few days, a large number of people came to the government office, and the Li family father and son shrank tremblingly in the crowd.There are also many farmers and common people like Li's father and son, standing in a pile, with miserable expressions on their faces.

Min Lu came in to report in a panic, Wei Su raised his head from the paperwork on the table, and seemed not at all surprised by Min Lu's news.He just calmly pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers to dispel the tiredness from reading the documents all the time.

Wei Su nodded, and ordered: "Go tell them to wait, I'll come here when I have a little tidy up." After speaking, he continued to look down.

Min Lu was sweating profusely, what kind of people came here, chief stewards of important figures in the court.Normally, they wouldn't show up because of this kind of thing, but today almost everyone gathered, waiting for Mr. Wei to do something.Mr. Wei is not in a hurry at all, and he read the paperwork leisurely, what, what should people say?

Min Lu's mood was extremely complicated. None of these people, their officials, could afford to offend, "Master Wei, it's best not to keep them waiting..."

Wei Su didn't even raise his head, but just waved his hand, motioning him to do as he said.

Min Lu hesitated to speak, and knew Lord Wei's temper, so he could only resign and leave. It was really a headache to appease these people.However, Lord Wei is still there to support the sky falling, since Lord Wei is not in a hurry, why worry about it.

The people who came were all the chief stewards of the nobles of various aristocratic families. This kind of trivial matter could have been done by sending someone to run errands.Unexpectedly, my master ordered them to deal with it personally. If they can't handle it well, they don't have to come back.

These people have refilled the tea soup several times, but Master Wei did not come out, and their hearts were burning with anger.People like them, although they all work for the master, but in the face of the master, who dares to disrespect them, they represent the face of the master outside.

"Your Majesty Wei is too trusting, isn't he? How long have you been waiting, and you haven't even shown your face? How unreasonable!" one person said dissatisfied.

This remark aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone present, and everyone complained.If the master hadn't given the order, they would have just flung their sleeves and left.

Qiu Da, the steward of the Shaoqing Mansion, took a sip of the tea soup slowly, but his face was not as impatient as others, and he even closed his eyes to rest in his spare time.He knew that his master had suffered a lot from Wei Su's place, and the little steward surnamed Wang had already been dealt with by the master.

It stands to reason that a small little Situ is absolutely incapable of daring to go against Mr. Shaoqing.Which of the previous young Situ dared to say anything about the business of the aristocratic family's land?But this Wei Su slapped Shaoqing's mansion, and Shaoqing's mansion had nothing to do.

It is really not easy for Master Wei to make his master suffer and get out of the way.When he comes here today, he must act cautiously, and must not bring any trouble to the master.

"Master Qiu, I heard that you have had a face-to-face meeting with this little Situ before, so you should know Mr. Wei better? What kind of person is Mr. Wei? Why don't you come and listen to us?"

They have all heard about Wei Su, but they have never seen or contacted him.Since we are going to deal with Master Wei today, we will be more confident if we know more about him.

Upon hearing this, Senior Steward Qiu opened his eyes, spread his hands, and said helplessly, "Mr. Li, where do you start with this? Although our young steward from the Shaoqing Mansion had a little relationship with Mr. Wei because of the locality. Contact. But you must also know that because the little steward offended Mr. Wei, my master has already killed him. I have not dealt with other matters, so I don't know."

Everyone gasped. It is well known that Shaoqing's mansion protects the weak, and Zhai Shaoqing actually beat and killed the mansion's slaves because of this matter.Although it is very common to kill domestic slaves, in Shaoqing Mansion, it has never happened because of such a thing.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, each with their own calculations in their hearts.Does this Wei Su really have such great ability?Today, so many of them came together to put pressure on them, they don't need to worry about anything, they must put their heart into doing what the master asked them to do.

At this time, a small official came to spread the word that Master Wei had come.Everyone looked out together, and saw Shi Shiran, a young man in official robes, walking in.Everyone didn't dare to be angry, such a refined and elegant young man turned out to be the world-famous Mr. Wei?

Wei Su was not as superior as they imagined, but smiled amiably.After entering the door, he bowed his hands to everyone, and said gently: "I kept you waiting for a long time, because I have been busy with the paperwork until now, so please don't blame me."

Wei Su's courteousness could not be wronged by everyone, and the people who originally wanted to stab Wei Su couldn't utter a few words.Maybe something really happened, so what if they waited?After all, if I came to find Master Wei to do business, I couldn't get past Master Wei.

Even though everyone felt extremely uncomfortable, they still returned the salute one by one.

Wei Su sat down, without beating around the bush, and went straight to the point, "Why are you here today?"

Chief Steward Qiu stood up, "Master Wei, I am the chief steward of Zhai Shaoqing's residence, and I am here today to deal with the sale and purchase of land by the order of my master."

Wei Su took a sip of tea, looked at it calmly, and then turned around and asked, "What about you? You also want to buy and sell land and sign a contract?"

Everyone nodded, and someone said: "In the past, I didn't have to make this trip, I just needed a small official from the government office to be a witness. Mr. Wei has just taken office and has new rules, so I dare not say anything. Then just follow the adults' rules. As long as the adults allow the sale and purchase of fields, everything is easy to talk about."

What he said was so logical that everyone agreed with him.

So many people came together to handle the land sales contract, hehe, the people behind it really took great pains.

Steward Qiu watched Wei Su's expression calmly, but he didn't notice anything unusual.He lowered his eyes and came to a conclusion that Mr. Wei was calm in dealing with things, and his concentration was far beyond comparison.

Wei Su smiled, "It's very good that you follow the rules. In fact, these are not the rules of my official, but the rules passed down from the previous kings." He looked around and said leisurely: "Buying and selling land, as long as both parties Voluntary, of course I have nothing to say. But if it is forced to buy and sell, then I am sorry, and I will ask you to speak up."

As soon as the words fell, everyone present was silent for a while. How many people are willing to sell the land today?If there is no coercion and strong means, how can the masters of each family have a large manor field?

Everyone turned their attention to Manager Qiu, since this matter happened because of Zhai Shaoqing's house, of course he had to rush to the front.

Manager Qiu bite the bullet and said with a smile: "Master Wei, since we are here, of course it is voluntary. I wonder when Master Wei will start the process?"

The sooner this matter is done, the better, and I can go back to my life sooner.

"As long as it complies with the rules, I can handle it right away. Have both parties involved come?" Wei Su asked.

A small official had already gone down to bring up the father and son of the Li family from the other party.Li Ada supported his father, they had never been in an official office in their life, let alone seen so many powerful people, both of them couldn't help but their feet went weak, and they knelt down in the hall.

"Don't be afraid, old man. I'll just ask you a few questions, and I can leave the rest to you." Wei Su's gentle voice resounded, which made the two feel more at ease.Both of them nodded in unison.

A small official fetched documents and bamboo slips, Wei Su flipped through them for a while, and then asked: "The land to the south of Shanyangfu belongs to your Li family?"

"Go back to your lord, yes."

"Now Zhai Shaoqing's mansion wants to buy your piece of land, but you voluntarily sell it?" Wei Su asked according to the rules.

The Li family father and son were silent, and at this moment a sinister gaze looked over, and the Li family father and son could not help but shudder.Thinking of the safety of the family members, there is nothing to do.Lord Wei also said that they could not keep their land, but he could help their family fight for it, so that they would not starve to death or become slaves. Now they can only trust Lord Wei.

Manager Qiu was not afraid of their betrayal. The Li family was in his hands. If he wanted to crush them to death, it would be like crushing an ant. He didn't believe that the Li family and his son could really disregard their own family.

Sure enough, the two of them kowtowed to Wei Su, gritted their teeth, and said, "Yes, it's a voluntary transfer."

Manager Qiu was proud of his work, and cupped his hands and said: "Master Wei, you have heard it yourself, the two parties voluntarily bought and sold land, according to the rules, we can always get a contract now, right?"

Everyone couldn't help being delighted when they saw this scene. Master Wei can't just live up to what he said, right?Haha, I thought Wei Su would be so difficult to deal with, but it turned out to be nothing more than that. My master really didn't know what he was worried about, and made such a big fight.

Wei Su smiled slightly, "What's the rush, take your time."

Manager Qiu sat back, and now he is not in a hurry, it depends on how Wei Su handles it.

Wei Su flipped through a few more documents, and then said: "The official here is based on the size of the Li family's land, the output in previous years, and settled the reference price of the land. The two of you should not buy or sell below this reference price, otherwise you will be deemed is void."

Everyone was confused, what is the reference price?No matter how many lands they have dealt with in the past, they have never heard of this thing.

Manager Qiu frowned. He could understand every word of Wei Su's words, but couldn't understand them together?

Just about to ask out the doubts in his heart, Wei Su continued: "The land of the Li family is priced at ten gold. Uncle Li, Li Ada, do you have any objections? As long as Zhai Shaoqing's mansion gives ten gold, the contract will be completed. There is one more thing, let me make it clear here, the government will collect [-]% of the tax on the sales of land, and the two families will each get half of the tax."

"What... what?" The Li family members and Manager Qiu asked in unison.Did they get it wrong?Everyone sighed, Mr. Wei, this is the lion's mouth, right?

The voices of the Li family trembled, ten gold?Master Wei means that their land can be sold for ten gold?They can't earn so much in their lifetime.

Steward Qiu's face was livid, and he asked in a deep voice, "Master Wei, what do you mean?" For so many years, it's not just a matter of whose land they want and which piece of land they want. Wei Su is purely Looking for something.

"The literal meaning, the official has already said it very clearly, hasn't the chief manager understood it?"

"Our Shaoqing's mansion has never bought land like this. We have to pay ten gold to buy the land of the Li family. Are you really joking, Mr. Wei?"

Wei Su was serious, "Do you think I'm joking? Of course, if there is anything unclear about the chief steward, I can explain it."

Manager Qiu was about to explode with anger, "It's impossible for such a small amount of land to be worth ten gold pieces. Lord Wei, although our Shaoqing Mansion has a great family and business, we are not the ones who can be taken advantage of."

Wei Su listened very carefully, and was not at all dissatisfied with Qiu Da's targeting.He nodded and said: "So, I can tell you that these officials are calculated based on the combination of the land value of Lou Kingdom in the past dynasties and the current price. Recalculate the calculation."

Wei Su waved his hand, and the clerk at the side had already sent the account book just calculated to Manager Qiu.Manager Qiu looked through it, his face turned blue and white, unpredictable, but in the end he couldn't say a single word.

What Wei Su took to read was indeed the explicit laws and regulations of the Lou Kingdom, and he couldn't find any mistakes or omissions.Other stewards nearby also took over and looked at it, and then murmured in their hearts, I am afraid this matter will not be so easy to deal with today.

Wei Su drank his tea slowly, with a smile in his eyes.With a light cough, "You have seen it, I also act according to the law. Youdao is the law of the state. Since Mr. Lou appointed me as the little Situ, he trusted me. Naturally, this official lives up to the king's entrustment. This official is in accordance with the law of the state. If your master has any objections to the law of the Lou Kingdom, then you can go to the King and ask the King to make a decision. I also want to know whether the King can deny it when faced with the family law of the ancestors."
