It's just like weeds on the roadside. No matter how it is crushed, it can still survive.

But Mr. Xie's life like this brought a heavy burden to the whole family.

The capital city was more than a thousand miles away from the border they were going to. If his grandfather continued to live like this, wouldn't he have to carry him on his back all the time?

Just thinking about it, Xie You felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and he wished that Old Master Xie would die immediately.

Little did he know that Xie Ying secretly asked Xiangxiang to poison Old Master Xie. This poison can stimulate a person's vitality, but the price is to shorten his lifespan.

Unless the old man is killed, he will definitely be able to reach the border alive.

As for Xie Yun, he was still thinking about Qu Wan'er and their four children.

I thought that once Qu Wan'er and Aunt Liu settled down with their child, they might find a way to help him.

However, the very next day after they left the capital, Qu Wan'er and Aunt Liu parted ways.

Qu Wan'er planned to take the children back to their hometown and changed their surnames.

Aunt Liu went to Biyang County to live with her daughter.

As for Xie Yun and others who were exiled to the border, probably only Xie Ying, Xie Xiu, Tu Jiaojiao and Luo Zheng would care about them.

However, Xie Ying only paid attention to it for a few days, and soon her attention was attracted by another matter.

Xie Ying took a fancy to a piece of forest.

This place originally belonged to the Chen family, and many pine, cypress, willow and elm trees were planted here.

Later, as the timber was continuously cut down, the value of this forest land became lower and lower.

Even if new saplings are planted, it will take at least ten years for them to grow into usable timber.

How can ordinary people afford to wait?

So this piece of forest has become a useless existence.

No matter how you get this forest, there are only two choices.

Or you can just leave it in your hands for now and wait for the saplings to grow into timber and leave it to future generations.

Or you can plant fruit trees instead, so that in two or three years you can harvest a lot of fruit.

But there are many fruit orchards in the capital. Even if fruit trees are planted here, the fruits cannot be sold at a good price when they are harvested.

So no one really cares about this piece of forest.

Except Xie Ying.

After dealing with the Chen family, Emperor Taihe wanted to exchange the confiscated properties for silver, so he specifically asked the Ministry of Revenue to arrange for these properties to be put up for sale.

Commodities like shops, land, and houses in the capital are all in great demand. Before they are even listed, many people are already inquiring about them, fearing that they will not be able to get a bargain.

The only thing that Xie Ying had her eyes on was the forest, but no one had ever shown any interest in it.

Because the Chen family's forest covers an area of ​​1,000 hectares, or 100,000 mu. Even if the price per mu is low, the entire forest is still worth a lot of money.

If it were somewhere else, the price of such an immature forest would naturally not be that high.

But it is located in the suburbs of Beijing, so the land price is naturally different.

You can't take over such a large forest without 100,000 taels of silver.

If it weren't for the mountains and forests surrounding that place, it wouldn't be suitable for building a house. With such a large area, building a vacation home alone would be a sure win.

Unfortunately, the surrounding environment is too bad and there is no beautiful scenery, so it is always disliked.

Few people are willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver just to buy such a forest.

Except for those wealthy businessmen who are eager to curry favor with others.

Xie Ying heard a lot of news from Xiangxiang and found out that someone was already discussing buying the land. She was so anxious that she scratched her head and wondered how to get her family to pay for the land.

They had previously taken back the Luo family's property from Xie Yun, so they could come up with 100,000 taels of silver.

It’s just the Luo family’s property, so it should belong to Luo Zheng.

If Xie Xiu were to use it to buy land, it would actually be inappropriate.

However, Xie Ying thought that the land would be valuable in the future, and she could give Luo Zheng a share of the profits then, ensuring that he would make a profit.

The question is, how can she get Xie Xiu to buy the land?
