After Liu Ming finished speaking, Liu Wenyu waved his hand and let him leave.
After Liu Ming left, Liu Wenyu said, "Replace the young master's servants with a more obedient batch. Get rid of Jin Fu. Also, send someone to watch him. He is not allowed to leave the courtyard without orders."
"yes"
After giving his instructions, Liu Wenyu was already thinking about which estates his family owned. He was considering sending Liu Ming to the countryside to prevent him from causing trouble all the time.
After a while, Liu Wenyu instructed again, "Aunt Yao, please send someone to keep an eye on her, and be careful with her pregnancy."
Another reason why Liu Wenyu completely gave up on Liu Ming was that someone in his backyard was pregnant. He had a difficult time having children. In the past, he only had one healthy son, Liu Ming, and he couldn't give up on him even if he wasn't a good one. Now that someone in his backyard was pregnant, this was good news.
Although Liu Wenyu had given up on this son, he still had to clean up the mess for him. He discussed it with Madam Guo and gave the second branch of the Guo family a lot of compensation, and that was how the matter was settled.
Although Guo Shu disliked being schemed against, in the end, it was indeed their second branch of the family who benefited from this matter. Although Guo Shu had youthful impetuosity, he was not one to act rashly. He knew when to stop and, upon hearing that Liu Ming had been sent to the countryside estate by Lord Liu, he considered the matter closed.
Xu Nian reported to Bo Bo at any time, and Bo Bo knew everything about the matter. She was quite interested in Guo Shu, having heard that he was quite knowledgeable.
Of course, Bobo only left an impression in his mind; he didn't intend to do anything specific. As a prince, he wouldn't be so eager to curry favor with a scholar just because he had some ability.
Another month passed, and Bobo was about to return. Yinzhen's purpose was to give Bobo some experience, not to exile him. Bobo had indeed gained a lot of experience during this time. Before, he had only talked about things on paper. This time, he mainly came to handle financial matters and met many people, which gave him a better understanding of human nature.
"Is the eldest prince going back?"
Fucha Qinglan had a lot to learn. He and Bobo were close in age. Although Bobo held a prestigious position in this place, she was not difficult to get along with. Fucha Qinglan and Bobo had a pretty good relationship. Hearing that he was going back, Fucha Qinglan was naturally a little reluctant to part with her.
“The eldest prince can’t stay here forever. After all, the capital should be the eldest prince’s home turf.”
Fucha Qinglan has recently been personally taught by his father, which has not only deepened his knowledge but also taught him about some political matters.
"What Father said is true. Can we set a time for the return trip?"
"It's settled. In ten days, you and the First Prince have a good relationship, and you don't know when you'll see each other again. The First Prince is planning to visit the countryside in Jinghai County soon, and you should go with him."
Fucha Mingsi knew that the First Prince's itinerary was probably authorized by the Emperor. It was a good thing that the First Prince could experience the hardships of life in the countryside.
This is a good opportunity to let his son see for himself. Before he became rich, his family seemed poor, but it was much better than in the countryside. At least his family never had to worry about making a living.
Fucha Qinglan naturally had no objections.
Before Bobo went to the countryside, he sent a letter back to the capital. The contents of the letter were nothing other than evidence of Liu Wenyu's crimes. Liu Wenyu had indeed governed Jinghai County well on the surface, but he had touched things he shouldn't have.
For example, he was actually connected with Japanese pirates at sea. When he found out, even Bobo himself couldn't believe it. Although Tianjin was close to the sea, it wasn't a place where Japanese pirates often came. Bobo never expected that someone he randomly investigated would be related to Japanese pirates.
Bobo knew this matter was of great importance, so he ordered the information he had found to be sent back to the capital. This was not a matter he could decide on his own right now.
After organizing the evidence and sending it back, Bobo and Fucha Qinglan went to the village in the countryside.
This estate was newly purchased by Bobo. It's not a large estate, but there are many farmers working there. Bobo went there this time to see the farming process and to understand the lives of ordinary people.
Yinzhen's original intention was to let Bobo know the current prices, as this was the easiest way to falsify accounts.
"Master, Young Master Qinglan, we've arrived."
Bobo and Fucha Qinglan got off the carriage. To be honest, in their opinion, the manor was rather simple and shabby.
Well, it was a royal estate, and royal estates also grew crops, but each estate had a mansion, which was no less impressive than the residences of high-ranking officials in the capital.
This village is actually just a few rows of houses with blue tile roofs, and behind them are many thatched houses.
The tiled houses were for the master or steward, while the thatched houses were for the farmers who worked on the farm.
Xu Nian had heard beforehand that the conditions here weren't very good, but he didn't expect them to be this bad. Xu Nian wasn't sure if the owner of this place would get angry, since the conditions were indeed terrible.
Bobo was genuinely surprised to see this, but not to the point of being unable to bear it.
"Let's go and take a look at where we're staying."
After all, I'll be staying here for the next few days, so I should at least take a look around.
Seeing that his master showed no disgust, Xu Nian felt much relieved. His master was usually very clean, and he was afraid that his master would get angry.
"yes"
The accommodations were quite basic, so Xu Nian had people tidy up the resting area to make it as comfortable as possible.
Then Bobo and Fucha Qinglan went to the fields.
There are hardly any crops left in the fields now; they are preparing to plant winter wheat, so what they used to see were farmers turning over the soil.
Bobo and his entourage were dressed in a noble manner. The people in the fields knew that the young master of the main family had come to inspect the place today, so they were quite reserved and uneasy when they saw Bobo and his group.
