Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

Chapter 143 Transfer

Raising children is so hard.

Xu Siyu is no longer like Xu Wangshi who was always worried about not having enough food at home, but even if there is enough food, there are new worries.

Xu Siyu also issued an ultimatum, requiring Lin Xuan to apologize to both Master Du and Master Cen before leaving the house. Her child's character must not be distorted.

The end of the year is the busiest time.

Lin Yiqing checked accounts everywhere, so Lin Xuan naturally couldn't find anyone to plead for him.

Similarly, he blamed his mother Xu Siyu for letting him leave the house. Although he received education, he had a resentful feeling towards Xu Siyu for a long time.

The gap between mother and son was gradually resolved only after he had children.

Xu Siyu's move to Lezhou City had some impact on the Xu family's business.

Originally, Changjia Prefecture was the center of the industry, but since both of their leaders were not there, the real center naturally shifted to Lezhou.

When Lin Yiqing returned home, he told her that the business situation in various places was generally improving, but there were still some disturbances and disputes, and the local leaders had to pay more for mediation in order to resolve them.

The money isn't much, but this kind of trouble is becoming more and more common and it's a bit annoying.

The two discussed the general ledger for a long time and finally decided to dispose of some assets to reduce the burden.

"The King of the Southwest has taken a fancy to this horse farm and plans to convert it into a training camp. It's far from here, and it would be troublesome for us to maintain it. It would be better to rebuild it near Lezhou..."

"Sell!"

The King of the Southwest had a good idea and wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Changjia Prefecture was promoted from a county to a prefecture, and after several years of stable development, it was no longer what it was when he led his troops to "harvest".

Good locations and good assets all have owners. The King of Southwest is powerful, but he cannot seize them by force. He can only collect or exchange some of them openly or secretly.

During the few days that Lin Yiqing returned to Changjia Mansion, he was "forced" to receive the King of the Southwest at Yuye Cottage.

The asking price for the palace was three thousand taels, which was a few hundred taels more than what Xu Siyu spent on building it, so Xu Siyu readily agreed to sell it.

More than 30 hectares of farmland under the Changjia Mansion were also selected by Xu Siyu and included in the sales list.

"Xu Zhuang? This is the best fertile land under Chang Jia Mansion. Are you planning to sell it?" Xu Siyu used to treat this property as her root, and Lin Yiqing was a little surprised that she was going to give it up.

Lin Yiqing looked at the list that Xu Siyu had checked off. The only things left under Chang Jia Mansion were his own house - Cuihua Garden, the guild hall by the dock used for business contacts and rest communication for caravans, and a few department stores that were roughly maintained.

"Well, Lezhou has 160,000 hectares of land. Using my seeds, it can produce at least tens of millions of dan of grain. Lezhou will use a maximum of 200,000 dan for itself. Do you think anyone is jealous of the rest?" Xu Siyu said this bluntly, implying that the court would find various reasons to ask for it.

What is in your hands may not be kept. Those on other people's territory can be recruited at any time, and may even be used with courtesy first and then force, or directly robbed without courtesy.

Anyway, this is how Xu Siyu views the imperial power at this time.

Lin Yiqing nodded, the truth was simple and clear.

"You still have those two plots of land in the north?" He was referring to the wild pasture and the cotton field.

"of course."

The ranch was a gift from the imperial court, so she couldn't sell it and had to return it. It would be better for her to continue raising cattle and sheep.

As for the cotton fields, they were related to the welfare she left for her daughter and the transactions with the imperial court, so naturally she had to keep them.

In the final analysis, it was just about selling the properties under the Chang Jia Mansion, so that Lin Yiqing, who was in charge of foreign affairs, could have a lighter burden. Xu Siyu didn't want him to be away for so long.

Whether in love or career, Xu Siyu hopes he will always be by her side.

Before the news was released, Lin Yiqing went to Changjia Mansion again to represent her in communicating with the Xu family in Yunyang Town about betraying Xu Village.

The Xu family was reluctant to part with the property and bought 40% of it. With Xu Siyu's consent, the Lin family, as relatives, took the opportunity to buy 30% after the Xu family's share. Later, after the news was released, the remaining 30% was taken by the Southwest Palace.

The assets that Xu Siyu sold disappeared before they even entered the market.

This is the charm of high-quality assets. If you want to get them, you must first have the news and then the power to obtain them.

Long before this transfer, some "old" people who were used to following Xu Siyu also moved to Lezhou.

In fact, Xu Siyu's nephews all wanted to move to Lezhou with her.

They had anticipated the changes in the business world long ago. Now that Xu Siyu was no longer in charge of Changjia Mansion, some things would definitely not be as easy to do as before.

But the industries they are responsible for are all connected to the land and cannot be moved, or it is too difficult to move.

The Xu family is a considerable force in Changjia Prefecture. Without Xu Siyu, it would be a little more difficult for them, but they can still do it. Moreover, the Xu family, who have lived in Changjia Prefecture for three or four generations, have regarded Changjia Prefecture as their hometown. Without war and famine, their parents and grandparents do not want to leave their hometown, so it is not easy for them, as sons, to move.

Only Xu Nianyue's duck down workshop can be operated anywhere, without being restricted by any region. She does not have so much reluctance to leave and the heavy responsibility of inheritance. She brought her husband, a village doctor, and two children to live with her aunt.

Another person who made Xu Siyu happy was Huang Jiu's son Huang Yifei.

After he arranged his father's funeral, he still chose to follow Xu Siyu.

This group of bodyguards were very mature and rational. They did not blame Xu Siyu for the defeat of Huang Jiu and his party. Instead, they were concerned about the fact that their brothers were not well-trained. They spent a lot of money to recruit people from the martial arts world to be their martial arts coaches and improve their fighting ability.

However, Uncle Zhao stubbornly followed the master and moved with the attitude of being in charge of the accounts.

The next month after he arrived in Lezhou, Mrs. Hong, who was supposed to take care of him in his old age, also came with her son and daughter-in-law...

They all came here voluntarily, so Xu Siyu certainly welcomes them.

As the teachers' relatives and friends also moved in one after another, Lezhou had nearly thirty more households. Together with the newborns in Lezhou, Xu Siyu's initial goal of a population growth of 200 people a year was accidentally achieved.

Of course, what made her happiest was that her City Lord's Mansion officials finally had some clues.

Now that she knew Master Du's background, Xu Siyu naturally would not let him teach. Since he was someone she could trust, she would just appoint him as the Tongpan of Lezhou to help her organize the system of civil administration.

The Lezhou Military Supervisor boldly selected a man whose ancestor was exiled to Lezhou and who had just produced three generations of descendants - Fan Boyu.

After a preliminary survey of Lezhou's population and school enrollment, many hidden dragons and tigers who had been exiled emerged.

Xu Siyu carefully selected several third or fourth generations of people whose crimes were not primary but secondary, and tried them out as appropriate to see how they would perform.

Fan Boyu has the support of his cousin, a military scholar from the Li Dynasty who had his tendons cut out due to defeat in battle. Xu Siyu chose him because she wanted to "buy one, get one free". Although he has lost his martial arts, he will never forget his military knowledge, not to mention that he is a soldier who has actually been on the battlefield.

Not only in terms of human resources, after slowly getting to the bottom of things, Lezhou's own advantages have gradually been discovered.
