"Um?!"

"When we came to the capital from our hometown more than 30 years ago, do you still remember the situation at home? How much land does it have? How much savings do we have?"

"Why don't you remember?" The old housekeeper showed a memory. "Our family only has more than 2,000 acres of paddy fields, which is called the best of only 500 acres, and they don't have much savings. For the cost of your entrance exam in Beijing, the master also specially sold 100 acres of good fields and raised 1,500 taels of silver for us.

As a result, in the first two months after going to Beijing, we spent almost all the money, so we had to switch to small inns and help others write some letters and articles to earn living expenses.”

"Then how much land do we have now?" Cao Yi asked again.

"When my family wrote a letter last year, it should be 450,000 acres, right?" When I remembered this, the old butler showed a satisfied look, "With these fields, our descendants can enjoy wealth and glory!"

The old housekeeper was tied to Cao Yi.

His two sons are both in Jiangnan and work with the eldest son Cao Suping.

There is also a son in the capital, following the second young master Cao Susheng to do a job.

Although the butler in Jiangnan is Chen Zisen, once Cao Yi retires and returns home, the butler in the family will automatically become him.

Therefore, the Cao family is prosperous and prosperous, so the old butler family will be very popular and spicy.

Once something unexpected happens to the Cao family, their family will naturally be in trouble.

Cao Yi smiled faintly when he heard this, "So, now we have some setbacks, let everyone know that I, Cao Yi, are not omnipotent, and the Cao family is not as strong as I imagined. It is also a very vigilant towards everyone, including me!"

The old butler was shocked: "What do you mean?"

"Our family has changed from thousands of acres of land to more than 400,000 acres over the past 30 years. Do you think no one noticed it? They only saw that our Cao family is constantly flourishing and developing, and did not notice how these fields came about?"

"This... everyone did this?" the old housekeeper said embarrassedly, "In recent years, your salary, and the business of the eldest and second masters..."

"Okay, there are only two of us here, so there is no need to tell lies like that." Cao Yi said, "In fact, I have been worried about this, worried that after I retreat, I will be liquidated. Or after I die, the Cao family will be liquidated."

"We Dakang don't have this tradition, right?" the old butler said with a change in his face.

"I thought I was too worried before. But now..." Cao Yi shook his head with a wry smile, "A deputy prime minister, four second-rank master, all of them were confiscated, almost beheaded, and there was no decent at all... What kind of special treatment do I have, a prime minister who is not as good as Nangong Ji?"

"No, no!" The old housekeeper denied it repeatedly, but the tone seemed to cheer himself up.

"So!" Cao Yi said: "This time I was hated by everyone and suspicion for everyone. I also induced this hidden danger in advance, and it is not a bad thing!"

When he said this, the old butler understood the meaning of what Cao Yi said before.

After such a careful series of reflections, the old housekeeper deeply admired his master.

It’s really not because of luck that the master can be the prime minister!

Cao Yi wasn't finished talking about this.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Send another letter to the boss. Tell him that if someone wants to come to liquidate the fields of our Cao family recently, you must not resist, you must obey and cooperate actively!"

The old housekeeper was a little surprised, "Master, didn't you just say that we have caused hidden dangers and there will be no trouble in the future? Why are there anyone else who liquidated the Cao family? Is it the emperor?"

Cao Yi nodded slightly.

nonsense.

Of course, the only one who can liquidate the Cao family is the emperor.

"What should I do?"

The old housekeeper was panicked now.

I just said that more than 400,000 acres of land were enough for the Cao family to be stable and prosperous, but the master turned to the emperor and said that the emperor wanted to liquidate the Cao family!?

Cao Yi smiled slightly, "It's okay, the emperor cannot do anything ruthless... This is also my guess, maybe it won't happen?"

The old housekeeper could only smile bitterly and pray that what the master said would not happen.
