When Qi Yan entered the study with a cup of soup, she saw Ye Chen in a daze.

"What's wrong? What's the news that made your face look so ugly?"

Qi Yan asked considerately.

Ye Chen shook his head, "The father pointed out the marriage to King Xiao, and he married Lord Mei's daughter."

"Mr. Mei Sinian's father?"

Qi Yan dared not confirm that she did not know much about the ministers in the court.

Ye Chen took the soup cup and nodded in response, "Yes."

"Mr. Mei seems to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He heard that he was timid and afraid of things and was timid in his work. He has been staying in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for so many years. If he had not settled the accounts, he would have been replaced by someone long ago."

Qi Yan also told her understanding of Meidu.

Ye Chen shook his head, "Mei Du has no real power in the Ministry of Revenue. The one who has real power is Gu Nan, the Minister of Revenue."

"Will it not help at all when King Xiao married the daughter of Meidu?"

Qi Yan was surprised that she could see clearly, and she didn't believe that King Xiao would be willing to marry him.

Ye Chen chuckled, "Min Lan, the Min family has collapsed, and Min Lan will not bring any help to King Rui."

"It's different. Before the Min family fell, most of the civil officials followed King Rui. When the Min family fell, these civil officials would only be more loyal to King Rui."

Qi Yan analyzed that she is not stupid.

Ye Chen took a sip of the soup, "You are right, it's true. King Rui was brought out by Prime Minister Wei after all. Although Prime Minister Wei is a little petty, his ability is not to be coveted. Otherwise, his sons would not be so capable. To be honest, if Wei Xiu had not been weaker, I think he should be the one who succeeded the Wei family."

Qi Yan didn't expect that Ye Chen would look down on Wei Xiu so highly, "Is he really that powerful?"

"Well, I have decided to let him be responsible for some trivial matters in Fengcheng. A person's energy is limited and I don't care about too much. It's better to give him a chance to show off. Don't worry, it's just some civil affairs matters and won't let him contact the city guards."

Ye Chen made a statement.

Qi Yan nodded. She would not do everything by herself. If she had started something, it would be best to find someone she trusted to take over.

But at this moment, when she heard Ye Chen say that Wei Xiu was a character, she thought that it would be better to let him take charge of his farm, which always needs a general manager.

She thought for a moment, "Your Highness, if you don't trust Wei Xiu very much, why would you let him take charge of our farm? What do you think?"

"Farm? Are you talking about managing 12,000 acres of land?"

Ye Chen raised his head and looked at her, then said, "Okay, then I'll call him tomorrow and you can talk to him."

"Well. The soup is almost cold. Your Highness will take a break after drinking breakfast."

Qi Yan urged that her relationship with Ye Chen was actually a bit like a way to get along with each other.

Deep love is not enough. Between them, love is not the only one, so the bond is not that deep.

Even though there is a husband and wife, this is not the end of each other's relationship.

It was late at night, and the two of them fell asleep together.

...

The air passed overnight and the air was chilling.

Qi Yan tightened her clothes and then went to the study to see Wei Xiu.

Wei Xiu came here early in the morning, and he and Hongwei came together.

This is the meeting again after the 100-day banquet.

This time, Wei Xiu came to the door and brought some meeting gifts.

Qi Yan saw his polite and polite look. When Ye Chen saw her coming, he introduced to Wei Xiu, "I'm here to come today. It's the Crown Princess who has something to do to ask you for consultation."

"Please say it, Princess."

Wei Xiu nodded and said calmly.

Qi Yan handed over the land furnished in her hand, "Two days ago, I bought some barren mountains and fields and planned to recruit some farmers to go to the village to help me with work. Of course, there are many people in need of 12,000 acres of land, so I was wondering whether Mr. Wei Xiu would be the general manager of this village?"

"Ten thousand acres?"

Hongwei was stunned. He didn't expect Qi Yan to make such a big deal.

Wei Xiu just glanced at Tian Qi's terrain and nodded directly and agreed, "Okay, as the Crown Princess said, I would like to be the headmaster of this farm."

"The monthly silver is 100 per month, and you can live in the village. You can take the account of food, housing and transportation by Ye's mansion. If you have any objections, you can raise it."

Qi Yan gave the treatment.

Wei Xiu smiled slightly, "I have no objection."

In this way, Wei Xiu was responsible for Qi Yan's farm manager.

After Ye Chen asked Butler Cao to send the person out, he looked at Qi Yan, "Don't you mind Huaiwei's family?"

"Wei Xiu did not participate in those things, I am not the same as others."

Qi Yan looked calm.

Ye Chen shook his head, "Although Wei Xiu did not participate in those things, what about Mrs. Wei? Don't forget that Mrs. Wei and Wei Xiu live together."

"The orphan and widowed mother would rather leave the Yun family in Tongzhou than come to Fengcheng, which is unfamiliar with life, and surrender to us. What else can you fear about Mrs. Wei? Wei Xiu's illness is to take medicine for the rest of her life, unless Mrs. Wei bears the will of her heart to watch her only son die before her."

Qi Yan sighed, she didn't like to kill everyone.

Wei Xiu surrendered, and she gave her the chance, which was the only chance.

If Mrs. Wei and Wei Xiu want to betray him, I’m sorry. Not to mention that Fengcheng cannot tolerate the mother and son, even Dayan will not have their place to stay!

Qi Yan is not a Virgin. She has no obligation and must forgive anyone.

Ye Chen smiled knowingly, "I know, since that's the case, then you have to be careful not to give up all power. Wei Xiu is a talent, but he is also a double-edged sword. If you are not careful, you will hurt yourself."

"clear."

Qi Yan nodded. She knew that she would not doubt people, but she would not doubt people.

But Wei Xiu still needs to be wary of being bitten back.

After the New Year, it is time to prepare for the beginning of spring. As soon as the Lantern Festival is over, it is necessary to welcome the day of working in the farm. Corn and potatoes can be planted later, but the rice of Dayan can be planted first.

Qi Yan and Ye Chen told Ye Chen that the Duanmu family would go to Jingzhou. Just after the Lantern Festival, Mr. He from Tianxing Pavilion heard news that Duanmu Fan planned to set off for Jingzhou Jade City after the Lantern Festival.

This suddenly changed the itinerary, which was surprising.

But this is a good thing for Qi Yan.

So she talked to Ye Chen and took Feng Yin, Yuying Guard and his group to Jingzhou Jade City.

The purpose was to squat Duanmufan in Jingzhou in advance. Duanmufan, the son-in-law of Emperor Southern Jin, would come to Jingzhou Jade City. On the surface, it was for jade, but it was unknown why it was secretly done.

Qi Yan was also prepared for the transaction. If Duanmu Fan had for jade, the raw stones she had could be traded with him.

As for the others, we can counterattack them according to the move.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen asked her to buy some rice and grain at the right time when she was in Jingzhou.

The city guard's granary has been built to store grain. As for the money, Ye Chen gave her 30,000 taels of silver notes.

Qi Yan packed the silver notes, patted her chest and said, "Okay, I will ask the Yuying Guard to arrange people and transport grain back."
