Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

Zhao Yuanzhen also asked Zhao Yuanlan who he should go to if he wanted to buy land on both sides of the Yellow River!

Zhao Yuanlan thought about it, wrote a letter, and asked her to take it to see Lord Wu, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture.

Zhao Yuanzhen accepted the letter.

Then he told him that if he was about to come back, he should send him a letter in advance so that he could wait for them by the Yellow River.

Zhao Yuanlan said he understood.

After exercising for a while, I went to bed.

It’s not her fault that she sleeps too much. It’s dark now, why not sleep?

If we leave now, Zhao Yuanlan will definitely not agree.

All I can do is sleep.

The next day, Zhao Yuanzhen got up early because she slept too much.

Then he went to say goodbye to Zhao Yuanlan.

Zhao Yuanlan prepared a large backpack of food for her.

After Zhao Yuanzhen finished her meal, she took some food prepared by Zhao Yuanlan and set off.

Zhao Yuanzhen returned alone and was not in a hurry. Sometimes she rode a horse, and sometimes she rode a bicycle when there was no one around.

Just keep on going.

On the seventh day, we returned to the Yellow River.

"Mom, you're finally back. I was so worried."

This was the first time he had been separated from his mother for such a long time. More than half a month. He was a little uncomfortable with it.

"I'm back now, right? Is there any problem here?"

"Everything is normal here. We have helped some refugees across the river in the past few days. We have earned more than 20 taels of silver."

He handed the silver to Zhao Yuanzhen.

Zhao Yuanzhen accepted the silver.

You have to give it to the village chief when you get back.

After returning, I bought the land and told the villagers about crossing the river. From then on, my family bought the land privately.

The ones we have bought now include these 20 servants, Zhang Xinnian, and a few villagers.

The women have all gone back.

Zhao Yuanzhen planned to take these people back, transfer the property to them, and buy some things. She also had to buy some land. The land by the river was frozen because it was too wet. She couldn't start work.

So we can only go back and wait until spring comes to build.

But what should we do with the bamboo raft?

Zhao Yuanzhen asked everyone to carry the bamboo raft into the woods by the river, and then find something to cover it.

Finally, everyone put it away.

Fortunately, there is a lot of space now. The bamboo raft is 3.5X12, and the space height is 15 meters, so the bamboo rafts can be stacked together.

Finally Zhao Yuanzhen discovered that there was no one in the carriage.

Helplessly, everyone could only walk back.

Fortunately, everyone is used to walking here.

Prepare to go home tomorrow morning.

The next day, everyone packed up and there was not much food left.

Just let each person carry a little bit.

The remaining items were placed on the horses' backs. The tent was also folded up and placed on the horses' backs.

And so, everyone started walking.

Fortunately, there is a county town just half a day's walk away.

Kaiqiao County.

Zhao Yuanzhen led everyone into the county town, found a hotel, and asked for a room.

Then he ordered Zhang Xinnian to buy a carriage.

Buy two more.

I really can't walk anymore.

Then he went into the room to rest.

After resting for a while, I felt less tired and came out again to order three tables of food from the waiter.

Zhang Xinnian also came back and everyone started to eat.

After dinner, everyone went back to sleep.

Walking is really tiring!

The next day, Zhao Yuanzhen finally got to ride her beloved Xiao Hei again. She was very satisfied.

On the morning of the fourth day, they finally arrived home.

Zhao Yuanzhen went to the village chief's house first.

He gave the silver to the village chief and bought back the indentures of the 16 people.

Zhao Yuanzhen gave the village chief one tael of silver to each person. The village chief said it was too much. Zhao Yuanzhen forced him to accept it.

Those two have been sold to the dental clinic.

They sold them at 4 liang each. The village chief took 500 wen and gave the rest to the two men.

Zhao Yuanzhen went back after finding out the market conditions.

Everything is fine at home. Nothing is wrong.

Zhang Xinbai and his family have already moved into their new home.

The furniture had been bought as Zhao Yuanzhen had ordered. The carpenters were still working on the remaining sizes and styles that were not available. It was almost finished.

Zhang Xinnian asked people to unload the cart and take care of the horses.

Zhang Xinbai went to help others build a house.

Qian Xiaohui and Li Zhijuan came over and talked to Zhao Yuanzhen for a while, then prepared to boil water for their mother to take a bath, and then prepare dinner.

Looking at this large group of people.

Zhao Yuanzhen said that she had something else to do.

Zhao Yuanzhen arranged for them to rest today and clean up the yard tomorrow.

Then we started to arrange accommodation for this group of people.

The wing on the left is now the restaurant, kitchen, small dining room, warehouse, and small dining room.

There are two empty rooms.

The carpenter happened to be there, so Zhao Yuanzhen took the drawings of bunk beds and asked the carpenter to make 15 bunk beds.

Let's just stay together like this for the time being.

The house is still a little short, mainly because I didn’t expect to buy so many servants at once.

Zhao Yuanzhen watched the yard being slowly planned.

Two large rows of gatehouses were built on both sides of the gate wall.

But keep some distance away from the gate wall.

You still have to buy materials.

Because there were still few houses in the village that had been completed, Zhao Yuanzhen had to wait two days to build the gatehouse.

Then build the wall first.

Zhao Yuanzhen said she would go tomorrow as she didn't want to move today.

Then I planned to take a look at my beloved little house first.

Before leaving, he told Zhang Qingyan to live with him in the west bedroom.

The room was carefully arranged according to the drawings given by Zhao Yuanzhen.

Zhao Yuanzhen was very satisfied.

As expected, Song-style furniture is the most stylish.

Qian Xiaohui and the others didn’t decorate the place with soft furnishings, so I don’t know what Zhao Yuanzhen likes.

All the furniture is already placed.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the pictures of her grandmother's room and noted the missing soft furnishings.

While she was still recording, Zhang Qingyan called her and said that the bath water was ready and she could take a bath.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at herself, she was dusty and exhausted. Her fur coat was also dirty.

So I took some clean clothes and went to take a shower.

After taking a shower, I changed into clean clothes.

She took out her quilt and mattress.

Zhang Qingyan helped her lay them out.

Fold her clean clothes and put them in the closet.

Then he made tea for her on the small table on the bed.

Just take the dirty clothes to wash.

The fur coat is not easy to wash, so you have to take apart the outer cotton cloth to wash it. After washing and drying, you can sew it back together.

Zhao Yuanzhen lay on the Arhat bed and didn't want to move.

The fire dragon in the house is burning warmly,

I continued to record the soft furnishings. I needed to make a few cushions for the Luohan bed, a few pillows, and bamboo curtains for partitions. The quantity was huge.

There must be a bed curtain, although hers is a kang, but it does not interfere with the bed curtain and mosquito net.

Vase porcelain.

Candlesticks, palace lanterns and so on.

It is listed in bits and pieces on two pages.

Zhao Yuanzhen was lazy and unwilling to move.

Zhang Qingyan came back after doing laundry. Seeing her like this, she thought she must be tired from the journey.

Give her a massage.

Zhao Yuanzhen lay on the Arhat bed, lazily enjoying Zhang Qingyan's service.

After enjoying it for a while, Qian Xiaohui came to call them to eat.

Zhao Yuanzhen and Zhang Qingyan had no choice but to go eat.

The table for the restaurant has been set up. It is a large round table with a diameter of 1.5 meters.

Everyone placed Zhao Yuanzhen in the main seat, and then began to set the table and eat.

After dinner, Zhao Yuanzhen went to visit their small courtyard to see if they needed anything and go shopping together tomorrow.

She found that the houses of several other people were also decorated according to the pictures given by Zhao Yuanzhen.

They all thought the pictures my mother gave them were very nice and beautiful, so they arranged the room according to what my mother had said.

Zhao Yuanzhen said, that’s great, it saves trouble, the soft furnishings are basically the same, so just buy them together.

After the visit, I went back to my little house.

Then he went to Zhang Qingyan's room to take a look.

I found her room to be quite simple.

There is a step-out bed, a wardrobe, a table and a stool, and that's all.

Zhao Yuanzhen said it was too simple.

Add some more tomorrow.

Add a long table so that she can use it for embroidery.

Add a few more treasure cabinets to store embroidery threads, cloth and other things.

Then a screen comes.

Spend as much as you want.

I'll have a desk set, and I can draw some embroidery patterns. I'll have a dressing table.

Zhao Yuanzhen gestured to Zhang Qingyan, showing where to put something and where something was missing.

Zhang Qingyan felt very warm seeing her second sister-in-law like this.

The second sister-in-law treated her well from the bottom of her heart.

After Zhao Yuanzhen finished her demonstration, she went back to her bedroom to rest.

Her bedroom was just to the east of Zhang Qingyan, separated by a living room.

Zhao Yuanzhen was lying on the kang.

She sighed comfortably, it was indeed more comfortable at home. The kang was warm, Qian Xiaohui and the others had already heated it up for her.

Lying on the kang, Zhao Yuanzhen finally had time to check the spoils.

First of all, gold and silver.

There were more than 5 taels of gold and more than 80 taels of silver in cash.

The silver notes amounted to more than 2300 million taels.

He really deserves to die! How many people must have been harmed by this! Zhao Yuanzhen's mother's family is a wealthy merchant family with only a few million in assets.

The Sixth Prince's banknotes are worth 2300 million yuan.

Followed by various collectibles, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, etc.

Zhao Yuanzhen sold them all!

But I picked out some porcelain vases that had no marks and looked good and kept a few.

I picked out some jewelry from the princess and the crown prince's wife that was nice-looking but not too eye-catching, and kept a few for my daughter-in-law.

All the others were sold.

Just sell it like this.

The points are now over 5500 million!

This palace is indeed a wealthy one!

A piece of porcelain in the palace can be sold for more than 100,000 points.

The system said that this is the top porcelain making technology of this dynasty. The craftsmanship is good and the shape is good. So it is expensive.

In addition to silver and gold, the things recovered also included some food and things from the study.

The food is all rice, about 20 kilograms.

Zhao Yuanzhen only collected half of it, which turned out to be more than 20 kilograms.

Zhao Yuanzhen put the rice together with the previous food.

Then I started looking at the things in the study.

The things in the study were collected in a hurry, and Zhao Yuanzhen was afraid that they would be mixed with other things, so she put them in a corner separately.

The books were moved in together with the bookcase.

There must be about 20 bookcases.

No wonder it is said that wealthy families have more books.

This would require tens of thousands of copies.

These are all precious cheese treasures!

Moreover, the prince's collection consists of precious single copies or sets of books, which you cannot even buy or read under normal circumstances.

Zhao Yuanzhen took a quick look at the collection of books, which included all kinds of books.

Then look at the various letters and account books found in the secret room.

It's a mess, full of evidence of beheading.

After looking at it for a while, Zhao Yuanzhen threw it aside.

Then he sold all kinds of miscellaneous items such as pens, ink, paper, and inkstone ornaments, calligraphy and paintings, etc.

Mainly, these things are so good.

Any item that was taken out would arouse suspicion. In order to avoid this situation, Zhao Yuanzhen sold it every time and bought what she needed.

If they can’t buy something, it means that that thing is not within their reach with their current status.
