Li Lanzhen's meeting was over, but she left Han Minghai behind.
"Big brother, can you forgive mother for handing over the grain store in Beijing to the second brother's father-in-law?"
Han Minghai looked at his mother and smiled innocently.
"Mom, look at what you are saying. How could your son blame you?
You must have your reasons for handing the shop over to Uncle Xue. Your son won't blame you.
Sons always listen to their mothers. "
Li Lanzhen nodded with relief.
"You are the manager of our family's farm and shop businesses.
But I want you to focus on Youzhou City.
Isn't there a big farm outside Youzhou City? It should have more than 1000 acres of land, right?"
"Yes, mother, that farm is very big, with more than a thousand acres of farmland. It's not easy to buy it.
Thanks to my master's mediation, we were able to take over the farm."
Han Minghai added hot tea to Li Lanzhen's tea bowl.
"Mom, you don't know how wonderful that farm is, with mountains, water, and fertile soil.
Fortunately, there is a three-story courtyard, which is also kept clean. "
Li Lanzhen took a sip of hot tea and said, "Okay, I'll give this Zhuangzi Niang to you.
I have already informed Manager Hua and asked him to complete the transfer procedures.
I'll give it to you after it's done.
You see, why not let your brother-in-law Zhang Songshu take charge of that farm.
It would not be good if there were no one of your own in the farm, and the farm has more than 1000 acres of land.
We need to run it well.”
Han Minghai was about to refuse, but when he saw his mother's look, his eyes suddenly became moist and he lowered his head.
He looked up again, "Mom, son, thank you."
Li Lanzhen smiled and gently warned, "You should also slowly save some money. Yinan has gone to the capital to be the prince's companion. I'm afraid he will grow up in the capital. He still has a long way to go.
In the future, it will cost a lot of money to study and get married."
"Yes, mother, I understand!
Mom, you just said you wanted to open a furniture store in Youzhou City.
Is it the big two-story shop you asked me to buy?"
"Yes, it's that shop. I have completed the transfer procedures and put it in your grandfather's name.
This is a gift from me as your daughter and you as your grandchildren to your grandparents."
Han Minghai nodded repeatedly, "Of course."
Li Lanzhen looked at her eldest son who showed no reluctance at all and smiled, "However, your grandma and grandpa want to split it with me 50-50.
There was no other way, so I ended up splitting the profit between them 30% and 70%.
I want to give 10% of my 30% profit to the Taohuayuan Village Committee."
"Okay. Mom, your decision is right.
Is there anything else I can do for you?"
“Don’t worry about this furniture shop.
I have explained everything in detail to your uncle and nephew.
They will start the event in the next two days, and we can just go and participate when it opens.
Besides, there is another shop, a smaller one with a backyard.
I want to give this shop to your wife, and let her open an embroidery shop to sell the plush toys, embroidered handkerchiefs, and large embroidery works they make.
Yu Niang likes these and has good skills. Although the shop is small, she can make a lot of money if she manages it well.
I won't plan how to design this shop for you. You've been in charge of several shops, so you should have some experience. Can you get a plan and decorate it yourself?"
"Okay, mother, let's make our own plans. If we encounter difficulties or problems, we can come to you for advice.
Mother, I thank you on behalf of Yu Niang."
Li Lanzhen patted Han Minghai's arm, signaling him to be quiet.
“There’s one more thing I want to discuss with you.
The grain shop in the capital was given to your Uncle Xue, and the farm outside Youzhou City was given to you and your father-in-law's family.
Now that the third son's father-in-law's family is here, we can't just give him nothing, so mother has to treat him fairly."
Han Minghai nodded. "That's right, what do you think?"
Li Lanzhen raised her head and thought for a moment before she said, "I want to give the grocery store in Youzhou City to my third father-in-law.
However, this shop cannot be divided 30% and 70% respectively.
I want a 40% to 60% split. Han Shunde gets 60%, and I get 40%.
Similarly, I took out 20% of the 40% profit and handed it over to the village committee.
how are you feeling? "
"Okay, I agree with mother's decision. The things sold in the grocery store are all produced in our Peach Blossom Land, as well as mountain products from the mountains.
The consignment goods of the villagers are also in the grocery store.
According to my son, the income from the consignment sales of the goods from the families who left the place is five or six taels of silver a year."
……
The mother and daughter were talking in low voices in the yard.
What they didn't know was that Zhang Deshui had called Xue Lao Hu, Han Zhaoxiong, and Han Mingjiang to hold a meeting at their house.
Among Li Lanzhen's three relatives, Zhang Deshui is the oldest and a generous and kind person, so both the older and younger generations respect him very much.
He said he had something to discuss, so everyone went to their house and sat in the yard.
"Come on, come on, let's all sit down and talk while drinking water."
Zhang Deshui took a sip of tea and told everyone straight to the point.
"I asked everyone to come here because I thought we couldn't always let Sister Lan Zhen worry about us.
We all heard just now that she has made careful arrangements for each family, taking our emotions and interests into consideration.
So I have some ideas too, let's talk about them here, we can't let Lan Zhen think about everything."
He glanced at Han Mingjiang and said, “Nephew, you are the general who is going to guard the southwest border.
My great nephew, we all saw what you said just now and what you did with the long stick.
This child is a promising one. I guess no one can persuade him. If we really keep him here, it would be a waste of his talent!
what are you thinking? "
Han Mingjiang laughed when he heard Zhang Deshui praising Han Yisong.
"He has this ambition, so I will take him there, but I have to go back and coax my wife."
Xue Lao Hu opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but then he lowered his head and said nothing.
Zhang Deshui glanced at Xue Lao Hu and said to Han Mingjiang.
"Nephew, your military camp has sent over 100 people here this time. They all started out as small soldiers with you.
You have feelings for them, and you can't bear to see them become homeless, so you send them here. And you know in your heart that your mother will never refuse as long as you ask.
But have you ever thought about this? You will be a general this time, and you will have more soldiers under your command. There will be so many wounded in every battle. Do you still want to send them all here to trouble your mother? ! "
Han Mingjiang reached out and touched the back of his head, "Uncle, if this happens again, I won't bring them here.
I also know that I caused trouble for my mother last time."
Zhang Deshui asked him again, "Have you ever thought that after a war there will be disabled soldiers?
What should we do with these people? There are also homeless people among them, how are you going to accommodate them?"
Han Mingjiang looked serious and frowned, "At present, our Li Dynasty does not have any regulations or documents regarding the resettlement of soldiers injured on the battlefield."
Zhang Deshui laughed and said, "Look, nephew, I have an idea, do you think it's right?
The training camp in the ditch behind us listened to your mother's advice and planted crops and vegetables while training, and later they also raised so many chickens.
In this way, the food, vegetables and meat problems are all solved.
What's your mother's word for it? 'Self-sufficiency'.
I think this model is pretty good. I have discussed it with your brother Songshu, and he wants to go with you this time.
Go to the vicinity of your garrison, gather some people there, and have them grow food and vegetables for your army, and you can also engage in breeding.
Disabled soldiers from the army can also be accommodated there.
What do you think of this method? "
