"It's okay. The main thing is that you are capable. If you are not capable, I would not recommend you." Shang Lian said with a smile.
"I still have to thank Lord Shang for speaking well of me in front of His Majesty." Wei Xi bowed.
"Okay, now that you're at the rubber factory, you have to work hard. His Majesty actually values you very much." Shang Lian said seriously.
"I understand. Thank you, Lord Shang, for the reminder." Wei Xi said seriously.
Wei Xi first went to the Ministry of Revenue, handed over the work in his hands to the people in the Ministry of Revenue, and then went home.
After returning home, he asked his wife to start cleaning up.
The appointment letter stated that he should arrive in Lingnan within a month. Since he had already accepted the job, he wanted to do his best and go there early so that he could have more contact with Wang Yuan and learn more about the rubber factory from him.
"So urgent?" Mrs. Wei asked in surprise.
"Let's go there early so that we can learn more from Lord Wang." Wei Xi explained briefly.
"I understand, but Xin'er is still too young. It will be tiring for us to go there like this. Is it really okay?" Wei Xin is Wei Xi's youngest daughter, who is only one year old this year. Mrs. Wei said worriedly.
"We take a boat, which is faster and safer." At present, Daqin's water transportation is very developed, especially after steam engines were used on large ships, the shipping industry has developed rapidly.
Nowadays, steamships are not only used in wars, but some are also used for civilian purposes. They are specially used on rivers in various places, making it more convenient and cheaper for people to travel by boat.
"Okay." Mrs. Wei said no more. As long as Wei Xi's decision did not harm the family, she rarely objected.
The status of women in the Qin Dynasty has improved a lot, and many women who are as good as men have emerged.
However, Mrs. Wei was not that kind of woman. Rather than being an official, a teacher, or even starting her own business, she preferred to focus on her own small family.
Wei Xi has a high salary, and she only has one son and one daughter. Her eldest son is smart and sensible, and she doesn't need to worry about him at all. Her youngest daughter was just born and is also well-behaved and cute.
Although there are no parents-in-law to help take care of the family, she can still handle it with ease.
Now I have to move away suddenly, and I’m not used to it.
"What should we do with this house in Xianyang?" Madam Wei looked at Wei Xi. This house was a reward from His Majesty. It had a good location and was spacious. She liked this house very much.
"Let's rent it out. We will probably be staying in Lingnan for several years." Wei Xi said after thinking for a while.
As long as you put the house up for sale, there will be plenty of people willing to rent it.
"We are in a hurry to go to Lingnan, so we will have to trouble my brother with this matter. Please go there later." Wei Xi decided to ask his brother-in-law to take care of the house rental.
"Okay, I should tell my grandmother and the others." Mrs. Wei agreed seriously.
I've been gone for several years, so I definitely have to go and tell him about it.
While his wife was taking their little daughter to her parents' home, Wei Xi also began to tidy up his study. This trip to Lingnan would take several years, so he had to take important books with him.
Although books outside are cheap, money is needed everywhere in the house. The children will also need to go to school in the future, and the whole family needs food and clothing. All the pressure is on him, so he can only try to save as much as possible.
When Wei Xi had almost finished tidying up, his wife actually called several of his uncles over.
"Brother-in-law, we are here to help you clean up." The few of them did not put on airs and came to help with the work.
"Grandfather asked my eldest brother and the others to come over, saying that we have a lot of stuff and my eldest brother and the others are very strong, so it would be difficult for us to carry the things. He asked my eldest brother and the others to send us to Lingnan, which would also protect our safety." Mrs. Wei explained in a low voice.
"Will this be too much trouble for my uncle and his family?" Wei Xi asked hesitantly.
"It's okay. It's not the busy farming season these days. We haven't been to Lingnan before, so we can go there and broaden our horizons." Brother-in-law Lin Qingshan said with a simple smile.
Mrs. Wei's family was just an ordinary farming family, and they had never expected that Wei Xi would fall in love with their girl. Moreover, after Wei Xi got married, there was only Mrs. Wei as his wife, and she never had any affairs outside, which made them value this son-in-law even more.
Wei Xi wasn't particularly interested in those things. They didn't cost money, did they? With two children at home now, the burden of supporting the family fell on him, and he still had endless work to do. He didn't want to support those women for nothing.
"Now that you're all gone, you'll feel more at ease knowing your parents-in-law are at home, right?" Wei Xi looked at his uncles with some emotion. He was often busy with work, so whenever there was something going on at home, his uncles would often come over to help.
"My wife and the others are here, it's okay." Lin Qingshan said nonchalantly. The security in Xianyang is so good that there is no need to worry at all.
In the end, Wei Xi agreed to let them go together.
The family has accumulated some property in the past few years, and it is indeed difficult for the couple to take these things to Lingnan.
Wei Xi and his companions set off two days later. Before leaving, they came to the palace. Zhao Qingrui asked him to take an imperial edict to Wang Yuan and gave him some money before sending him away.
Walking out of the palace with the money, Wei Xi's mouth twitched. He found that the emperor quite liked to give rewards, especially to some officials from ordinary families.
The money is not much, but it can make life at home a little better.
However, His Majesty's actions still made him feel warm in his heart, and made him want to work harder to repay His Majesty.
After Wei Xi left, Zhao Qingrui started to look at the account books sent by the Ministry of Revenue. Although these account books had been sorted out, the Ministry of Revenue was in charge of many affairs of Daqin, and there were still a lot of accounts. She needed to understand each item and have a clear idea of them.
