She spoke very clearly, speaking out word by word, making sure that the bankers outside could hear her clearly.
The room was silent for a while, no one spoke, and you could even hear the autumn wind blowing the fallen leaves outside.
Lin Yue's eyelids twitched and he didn't even dare to raise his head.
This matter was indeed mentioned last night, but up to now, the steward who went to the capital to ask questions has not come back yet.
Wei An opened and closed his mouth and asked the farmers to pay back all the rent they had paid over the years.
Go back, come and go, it’s a stroke of fortune This huge expense has not been in the hands of Wei Yumin for more than ten years.
Naturally, not a penny has been in the hands of the Wei family.
But now the Wei family cannot collect this year's rent.
You have to pay attention to the achievements of more than ten years.
Bankers all said that they paid more every year, and later on, they paid more than double what they paid ten years ago.
This village has a pond to raise fish, and there are trees on the mountain to raise chickens and ducks.
Every year, the village head pays only 1,100 taels of silver.
When there is heavy snow or chicken plague, the payment is even less.
The minimum is only 4,500 taels. .
As for the annual rent paid by those farmers, except for the years when there were natural disasters, which were reduced by half, the rest of the time totaled nine hundred taels of silver.
This is not a small amount of money, and the tenants also said that they have been urged to pay more than double.
That means, including the extra money paid over the past ten years, if Guardforce really wants to replenish them, it will have to replenish at least nearly Ten thousand taels of silver come.
Ten thousand taels What a huge sum this is I'm afraid that when Wei An gets married in the future, the dowry will only be this amount.
But Wei An easily made the decision for his superiors.
In the end, the matter was not completely settled, because the stewards did not dare to make the decision without permission, and they had no money, so they had to go to the capital first.
But now that Wei An has said this to the bankers, even if it is not settled, it must be settled.
Lin Yue sighed, feeling that this girl was decisive, but just a little bit clueless.
If she could find the head of the village, she might be able to recover some losses.
But if we can't find the head of the village, then for more than ten years, wouldn't it be that the village has been sitting here in vain without any profit?
He was worried, but the dealers were all ecstatic.
At first, they suppressed their disbelief.
When they were convinced that they had heard correctly, they all couldn't help but cheer.
In recent years, life has become unbearable, and many of them have sold their daughters, just to hold on to that one-third of an acre of land so that they can have food for a long time in the future.
They thought they were about to be forced into a desperate situation.
Who would have thought that the master who came back this time would be so charitable, and they all knelt down and kowtowed to Wei An.
Wei An immediately stopped someone and asked them softly not to kneel down: "I just want to trouble you all to bear witness.
I have never sent anyone to Mrs.
Xu's house to talk to her.
If the Yamen invites you to come and ask, please tell me if you have anything else.
What."
After another pause, he asked, "Does the person who went to Mrs.
Xu's house to deliver the message have any relatives in the village?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you.
Finally, someone came out and nodded: "She is the master of our village."
It's no wonder, these people can be said to be alive even if they are dead.
Intimidating a lady Xu is not an easy job.
She nodded and told Lin Yue: "Find someone to bring everyone from this master's family."
She wanted to see who was so powerful that he wanted to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble and add a murder case to her head.
After just a few words, someone from the Yamen came again.
Those Yamen officials were very knowledgeable.

They had never entered the Wei family's courtyard before, and now they were just waiting outside in the rain, saying they were being found out.
That night, the master went to Mrs.
Xu's house and wanted to take the master to the Yamen for questioning.
Wei An sent someone out to deliver hot soup and an umbrella, and then asked Wei Jie to come forward and hand over the master wife.
When several bankers were summoned to record their confessions, Manager Lin also came back.
He went down and changed into clean clothes before coming to see Wei An: "The matter is over.
It has been found out that it has nothing to do with our family. , it’s not for our servants to threaten you.”
Wei An asked his mother-in-law to pour him tea, nodded and talked about Liao Sheng.
Lin Hai's brows immediately wrinkled: "I tied him up and tortured him."
Wei An did not hand over Liao Sheng to save trouble.
Otherwise, when Liao Sheng arrived at the Yamen, he was a member of the Wei family.
He could not be gossiped about.
In the end, it was said that Liao Sheng was serving as a scapegoat for the Wei family.
But if there are other uses, Liao Sheng has none.
"How to torture?"
She sneered and shook her head: "They do it without anyone noticing.
I asked, but the master wife didn't see anyone, but someone asked her to go to Madam Xu's house through the window to say such things.
But Who it is, she shakes her head and doesn’t know.”
"Needless to say, Liao Sheng was already confused by a pot of wine.
Even if the person who instigated him was standing right in front of him, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize him."
Having said that, Lin Hai's frown did not relax at all: "But can it just be settled like this, and we will suffer such a hidden loss?"
This is clearly someone who is deliberately plotting against Wei An and the Wei family.
This matter may be a big deal or a small matter, but if someone wants to make a fuss, especially the censors' eloquent skills, they can immediately make up countless stories about the Wei family's harsh treatment of their servants and their disregard for human life.
No matter what, I'm afraid I can peel off a layer of skin from the Wei family.
Really evil intentions What's more, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light.
If the person is not caught, I will really feel uneasy.
Wei An then smiled and said, "Forget it, what else can we do?
If we can't find someone, we can't dig three feet into the ground."
Lin Hai felt that the matter was not that simple.
He glanced at Wei An and waited for Wei An to give instructions.
This seventh lady of my family has never really been a master who swallows her anger.
Even if she endures her anger at the loss before her, the person who offends her will rarely get anything good from her in the future.
The calmer she is, the more angry she will become.
Sure enough, after a while, Wei An asked: "The news that Liao Sheng and his wife were missing here just now has spread."
Lin Yue immediately stood up and replied: "My reply to Miss Seven has been spread among the bankers.
According to your instructions, the bankers went home happily to tell them the good news that you are going to make up for the deficit."
Wei An nodded with a smile: "Very good, go to the Yamen in person, take the Wei family's name card, and send a message for me.
Tell He Zhizhou that if he can do it for me, Dingbei Hou Mansion will definitely Miss him."
She paused for a moment, saw Lin Yue lowering his head in agreement, and then said: "Go and invite the fourth brother to come in
