Wealth and glory seek stability

This man's revengeful mentality is too strong. There is no guarantee that he will cause trouble for Jian Xi when he is not around in the future. If he had not discovered this man today, and Jian Xi lived alone at her home in Songzi Lane, the consequences would be disastrous.

He wished he could kill this man directly to prevent future troubles, but this was not on the battlefield. The laws of the Xuanyuan Dynasty were strict, and killing someone without reason required the person to pay with his life.

The silver on Shen Nanxing's body was given to him by Jian Xi, who said that in addition to daily food and drink, this silver ingot would come in handy if there was anything he needed.

He didn't expect this moment to come so soon.

When the two officers and soldiers first arrived, they obviously didn't want to get involved in this matter, but they didn't refuse because of his status.

When he took out the silver, the two of them not only smiled but also promised to do the job well.

Shen Nanxing thought, this must be what Jian Xi told him: money makes the world go round.

It seems that it was right to listen to Jian Xi!

Jian Xi didn't expect that her unintentional words would shape Shen Nanxing's view on money.

If I knew, I would definitely say: This child is teachable!

Jian Xi returned to her own little room and collapsed on the bed, exhausted.

I'm so tired.

She went from being a wealthy woman with assets worth tens of thousands to a penniless landlord.

This bed board is so hard. When I have time tomorrow I must buy two more quilts to put underneath.

As I was thinking, I fell asleep in a daze.

She has a very regular schedule, so I estimate the time to be around six or seven in the morning.

Thinking about the silver he got from Baoxiu Fang, he went to the corner room early to call Caixia over.

When Caixia took the two hundred and fifty-five taels of silver, she felt dizzy.

"Sister Jian Xi, is this silver for me?"

"Yes, I told you last time that we will split the profits after we sell the fan. You can keep it. This cloth bag was originally the fan cover you sewed. It's a good bag to hold the silver. It also saves others from seeing you carrying so much silver."

Caixia felt it was unreal. After thinking for a while, she took out fifty-five taels of silver and gave it to Jian Xi. "But the fan handle is yours. How can I take advantage of you? Give the silver to you. Two hundred taels is enough for me."

Jian Xi felt warm in her heart, "You are really honest. Since we have agreed on it, don't refuse. I don't need the fan handle and it will be a waste if it is left there. You should take it back and put it away quickly. There are not many people here now and you won't meet many people when you take the silver back." Although she was greedy for money, she never had the habit of taking advantage of her friends. Besides, she sincerely hoped that the little girls could live a better life.

Caixia was moved and said, "Then I won't say much, thank you, sister." Then she went back to her room holding the purse tightly in her arms.

Even after locking it in the box, Caixia still felt it was unreal.

The money came too quickly. She asked the housekeeper, and found out that she had sold her body for 200 taels of silver. This time she earned 255 taels of silver. Combined with the money she earned from selling small items, rewards, and monthly allowance, she already had 300 taels of silver in her small treasury.

Even if I leave the palace in the future, I can still buy a few acres of land and collect rent. Just thinking about it makes me happy.

Not to mention that she also learned embroidery from Jian Xi. Although Sister Dingxiang always said that she had no talent, hard work can make up for lack of talent. Even if she can't become a master of embroidery in the future, it will definitely not be a problem for her to support herself. If she finds a husband who can live a down-to-earth life, she is confident that she can live a prosperous life.

As Caixia thought about it, her round face turned red. She covered it with her hands and smiled foolishly on the bed.

"Hey! You don't have a fever. What are you crazy about?"

Lai Xi put his hand on Caixia's forehead to test the temperature, feeling a little puzzled.

Caixia pulled Lai Xi's hand away and said, "I'm not sick!"

"You're not sick, why are you so crazy? You're frightening, don't you know that?"

Caiyun also looked worried, "Yeah, you don't know how you looked just now, shaking all the time, Laixi was worried that you might have had epilepsy."

......

Caixia wiped her face, a little embarrassed, "It's okay, it's just that Sister Jianxi is back, I just asked her to give me the money I got for buying embroidery, I'm a little happy."

Lai Xi put on his clothes and went to fetch water with a basin, muttering as he walked, "He's really greedy for money, and I've been worrying for nothing."

Caixia said awkwardly: "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Caiyun was very considerate and said, "I'm glad you're okay. Lai Xi and I have to be on duty during the day. We'll go find Sister Jian Xi when we're free." After saying that, she tied her belt and hurried out.

Caixia felt so relieved. She was so lucky to have such a friend. If it were someone else, they would have asked her how much money she had or felt jealous.

Jian Xi returned to the palace, and everything went on as planned.

She told Lei Zi that if there was any problem in the shop, he could send a message in.

According to the rules, maids in the inner courtyard were not allowed to communicate privately with outsiders. She just said that it was a letter sent by her brother, and with Qiangwei's protection, no one had any objections.

The most important thing is that Jian Xi is too young.

Shen Nanxing sent a message saying that last time she came out of Baoxiufang, a middle-aged man followed her. He gave him a lesson and had someone take him to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. He told Jian Xi to be careful and not to show off her wealth when she went out.

From then on, every time she went home, she would ask Caixia and a few other little girls to accompany her.

Caixia and the others were naturally happy. They had no relatives in the capital and were at the age when they loved to play. In Jianxi's house, they were in charge of everything themselves. The day of rest every month became a day they looked forward to day and night.

Lei Zi lived up to Jian Xi's expectations and ran the shop very successfully.

He was quick-witted and used many channels to establish connections with many wealthy families, thus opening up sales channels.

When Jian Xi returned home, Lei Zi would often come to report on the harvest from the farm and the shop. Unexpectedly, he and Caiyun fell in love with each other after a few visits.

Jian Xi simply pretended not to see anything, as long as the two of them didn't do anything excessive.

Time just passed by like this.

Jian Xi is not an agricultural talent, but she knows that if she wants to make money from the farm, the most important thing is to increase production.

Unfortunately, I had never learned any agricultural knowledge before, and I relied on the little knowledge of genetics and reading a lot of agricultural books.

She planned to use the most stupid method and set aside a large experimental field in the farm.

We select the best rice seeds from the harvest every year and cultivate them generation after generation.

Every year a seed selection meeting is held on the farm, and the person who selects the largest seeds and the most rice ears will be rewarded with one or two taels of silver.

She always believed that there would always be brave men when there was a big reward.

By sowing the best quality rice seeds and cultivating them year after year, you can always increase the yield.

Jian Xi took out one thousand and two taels of silver to open a book school on the farm. He hired a teacher to teach the villagers how to read and write, and invited officials from the Ministry of Agriculture to give lectures in the village twice a month.

The effect was quite good. In the first year, the harvest in the farm increased by 50%.

In an ordinary rice field, one acre can produce a maximum of three shi of grain. In the first year's harvest season, one acre can produce four shi, almost five shi.
