Chapter 162: Wei Liangqing, Fu Yingxing

Wei Chunhua murmured, "My father is doing well, so I feel relieved."

"Mom, who is he?" A boy about sixteen and seven years old walked out.

"Call him uncle!" Wei Chunhua said as she pulled the man.

The young man stared at Gao Shixin, who was about the same age as him, and asked Wei Chunhua again: "Mom, this official looks about the same age as a child, why should he call him uncle?"

"You child, he is older than you. He is the youngest brother of my mother. Call me uncle!" Wei Chunhua scolded her son.

The old lady also came out and pulled her grandson: "Good grandson, call her uncle quickly! He is your uncle!"

The old lady felt happy that having such an uncle was a blessing from her previous life! How many senior officials of the Jinyiwei like this want to compete with them for relatives and not even have a door? Her grandson having such an uncle still dare not recognize her? This child is too ignorant.

Gao Shixin took out a fifty taels of silver ingot and handed it to the old lady: "Old man, this is what Eunuch Wei asked Gao to give to you. He said that as his in-laws, he had never been here once, and he felt very guilty."

The old lady quickly took the money and thanked her: "I can't use it, official, how can I ask for your money?"

"Old man, this money is not mine, it is from Eunuch Wei, which is given to my eldest cousin and her father. It is for your family and his grandson to live a better life. After a while, Eunuch Wei will take your family to the capital to enjoy the happiness, and will also find an official position for his brother-in-law and nephew." Gao Shixin said with a smile.

The old lady smiled like a trumpet flower on her dry face: "Really? I didn't expect that today will be there! My son and grandson will be a high-ranking official in the future! Humph! Who dares to look down on our Yang family in the future!"

Yang Liuqi also came out of it and thanked Gao Shixin repeatedly.

"Brother-in-law, I'm here today, I'm visiting relatives. Let's do this. You can follow me and go to my uncle's house. My elder sister probably haven't been there for a long time, so I'll go together today." Gao Shixin said.

"Oh, lord, you don't have to eat at home before leaving?" the old lady greeted warmly.

"Auntie, let's have a better day. There are more opportunities in the future. In the future, your family will go to the capital and we will be relatives." Gao Shixin said with a smile.

After saying that, Gao Shixin gave Wu Liuqi a piece of silver: "You go and hire the best car to come and prepare to take your sister and brother-in-law to visit relatives in Lihua Village!"

"No!" Wu Liuqi took the silver and rode his horse away.

The village was already full of joy, and the villagers knew that the child bride in the Yang family actually had a younger brother of the Jinyiwei! She also gave the Yang family a lot of money and was preparing to take Yang Liuqi and his wife to visit relatives. And I heard that they planned to take Yang Liuqi and his son to the capital to become officials in a while.

"It's great now. How can we get the land in our village back in the Fuwang Circle a few years ago?"

"With such a big official support, there will definitely be no problem!"

"Come on, no matter how high the official is, can you be more powerful than a prince? Stop dreaming!"

The villagers were talking about the land they circled when the Fu King was in the vassal of the past few years. These lands were originally private land, and the farmers worked hard for a year and could still find food and clothing. However, they were conquered by Fu King and became the land of the vassal king. The people became tenants who rented the land of the vassal king, and they had to pay tenant rent every year, and the year of disasters was not reduced. In normal years, they could only barely make a living. In the year of disasters, they could only owe usury and even sell their children.

Gao Shixin was not clear: "Didn't King Fu be a vassal in Luoyang? How did he recruit land to Northern Zhili?"

The people didn't know why. Later, Gao Shixin realized that King Fu was Wanli's favorite son. Originally, Wanli had always wanted to confer the title of King Fu as the crown prince, but he had to give up because of the opposition of the ministers in the court. In order to compensate for this son, Wanli chose the best land in Northern Zhili, Henan and Huguang and transferred it to King Fu as a vassal land. He even transferred part of the miscellaneous taxes in Yangzhou, Southern Zhili to King Fu, and also gave the salt taxes in Sichuan!

Wanli had a lot of effort to compensate for this son who could not become the crown prince. Therefore, it is not surprising that Hejian Mansion was expropriated.

Gao Shi said in confidence: Civilian officials and gentry are exempt from taxes, military households are exempt from taxes, and vassal kings are exempt from taxes. These are the three major cancers in the late Ming Dynasty. Chongzhen died of poverty in the end, and was harmed by these three major cancers, and these problems must be solved. But now, he did not dare to go to the villagers, saying that he could help the people get the conquered land and attack the vassal kings. It would take several years later, so he had to treat it as if he didn't hear it.

"Boss, the car is here." Wu Liuqi is back.

Gao Shixin asked his eldest cousin Wei Chunhua, his cousin Yang Liuqi and his nephew to get on the car together. Then the group rushed to Lihua Village, a 9,000-year-old hometown.

When we arrived at Lihua Village, the same scene happened as before when we went to Yangjia Village: the villagers working in the farmland threw down their work and fled in scattered them. In the huge village, no one was seen in the blink of an eye.

It seems that the great reputation of this Jinyiwei is really not worthy of.

"Sister, you recognize the way to my cousin's house. This is my first time here. Please show me the way." Gao Shixin said.

After finding Wei Jinde's family, Gao Shixin asked the carriage to wait at the door, jumped off the horse himself, walked up to knock on the door: "Uncle, cousin, are you at home?"

When Wei Jinde heard the knock on the door, he was so scared that his family was wet with their pants, but who knew that the person who knocked on the door called "Uncle, cousin" and so on. So Wei Jinde walked to the door tremblingly and opened the door. He saw a Jinyiwei official standing at the door, looking at him with a smile on his face, which scared Wei Jinde to the ground.

"Uncle, get up quickly!" Gao Shixin quickly helped Wei Jinde up, "Uncle, I am your nephew from afar."

"Nephew?" Wei Jinde was also stunned.

"Yes, my mother belongs to the Li family, and my second uncle is Wei Si. It was my second uncle who asked me to come to find you."

"Wei Si?" Wei Jinde was shocked when he heard this name, "Where is that bastard? Our old Wei family has long regarded it as no such person!"

Gao Shixin replied: "Uncle, my second uncle is doing well now. He entered the palace as his husband and lived a hard life for more than 20 years, but now he has finally turned around. He has not lived well in those years and dared not come to find you. Now, the hard life is over, and he asked his younger generation to come to find you."

After saying that, Gao Shixin handed the heavy bag to Wei Jinde: "Uncle, here is 400 taels of silver. My second uncle said he is sorry for your family. I haven't seen you for so many years. The 400 taels of silver is for you. After a while, he will take your family into the capital."

I just gave the Yang family fifty taels and the Wei family four hundred taels, and there were still fifty taels of silver left, which was left for another cousin. The cousin was named Fu Yingxing, the son of the nine thousand-year-old sister, and the ninth-year-old nephew.

Although Wei Jinde despised his younger brother in his heart, the Wei family's life has been very unsatisfactory since the Wei family's farmland was left by the Fuwang Circle. Since his younger brother sent the money, he would accept it.

"Oh, my brother, how could you be so successful as your distant nephew?" Although Wei Jinde accepted the money, he still despised his brother. After all, it was not a glorious thing for a big man to be an eunuch without eggs. What's more, the father of the Wei family was just angry to death by Jiu Qiansui.

If you lose money to sell your daughter after losing a bad bet, your wife will also divorce. Anyone who puts this matter on you will be angry to death by this incompetent son. You will be angry to death by your father, forcing your wife away, and selling your daughter. Aren’t such a person a bastard?

"Uncle!" Wei Chunhua walked in from outside.
