Returning to his mansion, Wang Dun watched a man who looked like a manager come in.

"How's it going? Have you done what I asked you to do?"

The black-clothed steward nodded and said, "I sent someone to inquire about that Wang Sheng."

The steward told Wang Dun the information he had obtained in detail, and the latter's eyes gradually brightened after listening.

"No wonder he wanted to exchange the wine for three hundred gold. It turned out to be for this reason. According to your words, it was the sudden death of his father that caused the Wang family's temperament to change drastically, but this is how he learned his temperament."

The steward was stunned for a moment, and then said in a low voice with a flattering smile: "Perhaps this gentleman of the Wang family was hiding his clumsiness before, but his father's wife did not allow him to stand in front of the stage. There are always some people who do not like vanity."

Wang Dun nodded.

"When you say this, the matter can be explained. This husband of the Wang family is indeed someone with whom we can have a close friendship."

Wang Dun rolled his eyes slightly and said to the steward in black: "Go to the manor today and restrain the tenant slaves. Don't make any trouble then."

The steward nodded, bowed to Wang Dun and left slowly.

But the corners of Wang Dun's mouth curled up slightly.

The current situation is turbulent, and there are different voices in the Langya Wang family. Maybe you can ask the Wang family husband for his opinion, maybe there will be different surprises.

After returning home, Wang Sheng handed a small box of gold nuggets to Zhang to put away, and then pulled Hong Xiu over.

He didn't know much about the affairs of the manor, and Hongxiu was the concubine of the Wang family after all, so he presumably knew a lot about the affairs of the manor.

Wang Sheng took out the land deed and body deed from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

Hongxiu's beautiful eyes opened slightly, and she was slightly surprised when she saw these land and body contracts.

"Hongxiu, I'm not familiar with the affairs of the manor. There are some things that need attention. I'm afraid I need your advice."

Hong Xiu nodded and took up the land deed and looked at it carefully.

"Mr. Lang, this manor is not small."

The red-sleeved green-white little finger pointed at the dark yellow land deed and said: "This manor is fifteen miles outside Luoyang, adjacent to Jingu Cave. It has forty acres of cultivated land and twenty acres of orchards. Wang Dun bought it from a businessman for three thousand gold.

Yes, but after the Wang family has been in business for several years, I’m afraid the value is much more than three thousand gold."

Three thousand gold, converted into soft girl coins, is equivalent to tens of millions of villas and estates.

What a great work by Wang Dun!

"There are 40 acres of cultivated land and 20 acres of orchards. I think it will take a lot of people to take care of it."

Hong Xiu nodded. She took the deed from Wang Sheng's hand and said, "This manor should be managed by three families. They all seem to be slaves of the Wang family."

"In that case, then I will go to the government to exchange the land deed and body deed in my name."

Hongxiu didn't want to but shook her head.

"Lang Jun, you can go to the government to hand over the land deed, but I'm afraid you can't hand over the physical deed."

Wang Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized something as if he had thought of something.

Fortunately, he had studied the history of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties before, and actually forgot about the land occupation system of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Due to years of wars and a population of less than ten, the Western Jin Dynasty implemented a land occupation system, which stipulated the land owned by officials of different grades and the number of tenants and tenants.

The tenants are similar to the ancient "housekeepers" who serve the master's family and generally do not engage in manual labor. The tenants work for the master's family in peacetime and serve as soldiers for the master in wartime, mainly engaged in manual labor.

The food and drinkers and tenants are dependent on the host family in social and personal relationships, and the land given to them by the state also belongs to the host family.

Ordinary people can occupy one hundred acres of land per household, and officials of the ninth rank can occupy twenty acres of land. They can have one food and clothing customer and one tenant household.

Officials of higher rank could occupy more land and have more food, clothing and tenants.

Wang Sheng currently has no official position, so logically speaking, he cannot have tenants.

Therefore, these tenants still have to be recorded in Wang Dun's name. Of course, they are actually Wang Sheng's tenants.

This kind of nominal thing exists at any time.

"I see."

Wang Sheng was about to transfer the title deed, but when he was about to go out, Hongxiu called him softly.

"Lang Jun, after all, the manor originally belonged to the Wang family. They have always been trustworthy in employing people to manage the manor, and they check it frequently. I am afraid that Lang Jun should go to the manor earlier to take a look and understand the depth of it."

Cao Chong was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

He did plan to go to the manor. Firstly, he wanted to see what the manor was like in this era. Secondly, he planned to spend three months in the manor for renovation.

After all, Wang Dun is his biological father. His biological father passed away not long ago, and a son should observe filial piety. Wang Shuang had to end his filial piety due to special reasons. It is definitely not a good thing in this era.

Zhongni required his parents to observe mourning for three years after their death, but this was criticized by many people. In this era, officials stipulated that the period of mourning should be one year, and ordinary people generally should observe three months.

After I went to the government to pass on the land deed, it was getting late and the crescent moon began to show its head in the sky.

As dusk fell, Wang Sheng asked Hong Xiu a lot about the manor at night, and then calmed down the noisy little Lolita, and finally lay down to sleep.

A quiet night.

The next morning.

The sky was slightly bright, and Wang Sheng stood up under the service of Hongxiu.

Today he plans to inspect the manor.

However, if he went alone, he would inevitably be weak and unable to act as a deterrent, so Wang Sheng called Tiezhu Laifu over to show off.

As for Hong Xiu, she is a woman after all, and it is not easy for her to show off in public. Otherwise, she should be better at handling village affairs than Wang Sheng.

It was not easy to leave the village empty-handed, so Wang Sheng scattered the hardware and exchanged fifty strings of five-baht coins, and then headed towards the manor outside the city with Laifu Tiezhu.

Fifteen miles is not far, but it is definitely not close.

After trekking in the early morning, the sun gradually became stronger when we arrived outside the manor.

Fortunately, Wang Sheng borrowed two donkeys. Otherwise, although Wang Sheng would not be exhausted after walking fifteen miles, he would definitely be in bad shape.

When we arrived at the gate of the manor, we saw a plaque with "Peach and Willow Garden" written in small seal characters.

This is the name of this manor.

The manor seemed to know that someone would come today. Not long after Wang Sheng arrived at Taoliu Garden, five people came out of the manor.

The leader is a middle-aged man who looks gentle and elegant, wearing a straight black shirt and a scarf on his head. Judging from his appearance, he should be the steward of this place.

"I don't know if I am the prince of the world?"

Wang Sheng nodded slightly.

"I am Wang Sheng."

"It turns out it's my master. The little man Zhao Fu is the steward of Taoliu Garden. I've been waiting here for a long time. Please come quickly. Everything is ready in the house."

The steward Zhao Fu was very enthusiastic, and the four men behind him in coarse brown clothes also stepped forward to greet him.

After entering the manor, the scene inside was quite elegant, but Wang Sheng's brows did frown slightly.

Why are there only stewards and guards in Taoliu Garden, but no tenants?
