Chapter 1613 Knowing a lot
If the prince is a man of courage and ability, he may be able to turn the situation around and seize power.
But, he is not that kind of person at all!
Even if he succeeded to the throne, the Qin Dynasty would not be at peace, and the fighting would only become more brutal and cruel.
There is nothing better than being away from the capital and the court.
The prince still expected him to stay in Beijing and become an official. How could it be possible...
Xie Jingrong's understanding of An Zezhou was unexpectedly comprehensive and profound. He talked eloquently, and Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were both fascinated for a moment.
The couple only knew that the place was full of bandits and was very difficult to deal with. The local big families secretly colluded with the bandits and controlled almost everything in the local area, one openly and one secretly, but that was all they knew.
We can only wait and find out the specific situation.
Xie Jingrong knew the names of the most powerful bandit forces there, and knew the status of the three major families there...
He didn't even know where he got a map of Anze Prefecture from. Shao Yunduan was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.
Xie Jingrong didn't want to show that he had too close a relationship with Shao Yunduan. They should be just casual acquaintances who admired each other, so he left after staying for half a day.
There is no benefit in letting people know that Shao Yunduan and the others have such a good relationship with him.
After the two of them sent Xie Jingrong away, Shao Yunduan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Brother Xie is really knowledgeable and knows everything. Listening to his words, everything suddenly became clear. No wonder the Crown Prince cares so much about whether he can enter the government. We owe him a big favor again!"
Qiao Xuan also admired him sincerely.
Shao Yunduan's appointment as the prefect of Anze Prefecture was a foregone conclusion and could not be changed. Shao's residence immediately became deserted and almost deserted.
I think there will be fewer people visiting to give New Year gifts before the New Year this year. The numerous invitations Qiao Xuan received last year to come to her house for banquets, to appreciate flowers and to listen to operas should have disappeared this year.
Qiao Xuan actually thought this was a good thing. Xie Jingrong and her husband were not optimistic about the situation of the princes fighting overtly and covertly. There would be more trouble in the future. She hoped that no one in the capital would remember them...
Just as the twelfth lunar month began, the resettlement project in the village of Yunshui Town was finally completed.
That day, Qiao Xuan took Aye, Mianmian, Lixia and Liqiu to take a look.
The farm originally had 1,200 acres of land, and Qiao Xuan bought another 400 acres a while ago, so it now has 1,600 acres.
In the past few years, we have planted potatoes, strawberries, watermelons, cantaloupes, melons, radishes, cabbages, etc. for sale. When potatoes become worthless in the future, we will switch to planting other things.
The place on the farm is spacious, so there is no need for Zheng Sangge and more than 70 people to live together as one big family. It would be better for each family to live separately as before.
In the days to come, each family will live on their own, and everyone will help each other if there is any problem.
Qiao Xuan also had the same idea. This was the long-term solution. When one had nothing and was extremely poor, only by sticking together could one survive. At that time, survival was already difficult, so naturally no one would have any other thoughts.
However, with a stable and promising future, every adult can earn a living through his or her own labor. If we continue to eat from the same big pot, conflicts of one kind or another will arise sooner or later.
It would be a shame to hurt the friendship we have shared through all these years. It would be better for us to live separately and help each other when we are in trouble.
