Restart the Disaster of Another World

Time passed quickly, the weather turned colder rapidly, the wind was blowing outside the door, after a few autumn winds, the weather was getting colder and colder, and there was a tendency for winter to come.

The business in Jing Yao's stores is getting better and better.

The influence of sweet potato noodles and grilled fish is much greater than that of tofu.

Ran to the shops to buy goods and resell them to other places.

In order to make up for the shortage of manpower, Jing Yao held several job fairs and recruited many people.

Wen Qun was particularly afraid of the cold. He sat in a fluffy and warm down quilt, wearing a rabbit fur hat on his head, rabbit fur socks on his feet, and holding a delicate and warm hot water bottle in his arms.

Wrapped in a quilt, he drank warm tea sip by sip. The room was warm with charcoal fires burning everywhere. At this time, he was unwilling to leave the warm room at all.

His belly had already bulged out into a small semicircle. After drinking his tea, Wen Qun habitually put his hand on his belly.

"Baby, can I tell you a story?"

He stroked his belly and said gently, "Once upon a time, there was a little rabbit who loved carrots very much..."

Wen Qun's voice was so gentle and soft, as if it could melt people's hearts.

The cold wind howled outside the window, but the house was full of warmth and tranquility.

Gradually, the beautiful little deer eyes lazily half-closed, the eyelids became heavier and heavier, and Wen Qun felt sleepy. He wanted to sleep. He wanted to wait for Jing Yao to come back and see him before going to sleep, but now he couldn't bear it anymore, so he just lay down quietly and took a nap.

In cold weather, the happiest thing is to snuggle up in a warm bed and fall asleep.

The winter in the north is more unbearable than the winter in the south. The wind blows, raising dust and fallen leaves, which scratch your face like a knife.

The sky was gloomy, as if it was pressing down, giving people a depressing feeling. The ground was covered with thick snow, which made a crunching sound when stepped on, which reminded people of playing in the snow when they were children.

As Wen Qun thought this, her beautiful eyes closed completely. She lay in the soft duvet, feeling really comfortable.

Jing Yao came back home after a busy day, shivering all over. It was too cold outside and everyone was wrapped up tightly in three layers. Although he was not afraid of the cold, he still followed the crowd.

I took off my coat and shoes in the outer room, wiped my face with a towel, and went into the bathroom to take a hot shower.

"The young master is back!" Lotus said in a low voice.

"Where is Qun Qun?" Jing Yao asked while wiping his hair.

"My husband is sleeping in the room."

Jing Yao walked into the bedroom and saw Wen Qun lying on the bed, covered tightly with a quilt, revealing only a small face, sleeping soundly. He sat gently beside the bed, looking at Wen Qun's sleeping face, his heart filled with tenderness and love.

Jing Yao looked at the bulge on the bed and raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the little guy actually fell asleep.

Jing Yao reached out and gently pinched Wen Qun's cheek, then lifted a corner of the quilt, crawled into the bed, and hugged Wen Qun in his arms.

"Hmm..." Wen Qun opened his eyes dazedly, and saw Jing Yao, with a smile on his face, "Ayao, you're back."

"Sleeping again, little lazy bum."

Jing Yao looked at the person wrapped like a dumpling on the bed and felt helpless.

Every time he came back recently, he would see Wen Qun lying on the big bed, sound asleep. But it was normal to think about it, after all, he was pregnant, and sleepiness was a common pregnancy reaction.

"Ayao, it's so cold?" Wen Qun, who had slept a lot, heard the voice, opened his eyes drowsily, and saw Jing Yao standing by his side. He immediately smiled brightly at him.

"Yeah, I've been back for a while." Jing Yao replied, reaching out and gently pinching his face, "Why are you so sleepy?"

"I don't know... I just want to sleep..." Wen Qun muttered, yawned, and wrapped himself tighter.

Jing Yao looked at him like a cute little animal and couldn't help laughing.

"I'm hungry and want to eat." Wen Qun suddenly poked his head out from under the quilt, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Jing Yao with his watery eyes. The look in his eyes clearly said: Come and feed me! Come and feed me!

Jing Yao was amused by his appearance and nodded, "Okay, what do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat braised pork, sweet and sour spare ribs, steamed fish... and chicken soup..." Wen Qun drooled as he spoke, and his stomach made a rumbling sound.

Jing Yao touched his head lovingly and said, "Okay, I'll make everything for you." Then he turned and went to the kitchen to ask people to prepare food, but the dishes were not the ones that Wen Qun had reported.

Jing Yao looked at Wen Qun, who was pregnant with a child, and his heart was filled with pity and love.

He knew that pregnant women needed special care and attention, so he was particularly indulgent to Wen Qun. Whether he wanted to lie in bed all day or any other needs, Jing Yao would satisfy him. For Jing Yao, as long as Wen Qun felt comfortable and at ease, he was willing to give everything.

Wen Qun continued to lie in bed, waiting for Jing Yao to feed him.

Soon Jing Yao brought people back with the meal. When Wen Qun saw that the food was not what he wanted to eat, he pouted but didn't say much.

Wen Qun felt Jing Yao's love and enjoyed this favor even more unscrupulously. He felt that lying in the warm bed was so comfortable that he was too lazy to get up even to eat. So he decided to lie in bed and wait for Jing Yao to feed him spoonful by spoonful.

Jing Yao carefully picked up the bowl, scooped up the food with a spoon, and then put it to Wen Qun's mouth. Wen Qun opened his mouth slightly, took the food, and chewed it slowly. The whole process was full of warmth and sweetness.

Jing Yao carefully took care of Wen Qun, wondering if all Shuang'er looked so lazy when they were pregnant. He thought to himself, maybe this was also a pregnancy reaction.

After feeding Wen Qun, Jing Yao asked He Hua to clean up the dishes and leave the room. Then, he took off his coat and gently got into bed.

He hugged the chubby Wen Qun tightly, feeling the warmth of his body. Their skins touched, their breaths intertwined, as if the whole world was left with only the two of them. Jing Yao gently stroked Wen Qun's belly, feeling the movement of the baby inside, with a happy smile on his face.

Jing Yao kissed Wen Qun's forehead and said, "Well, go to sleep."

Seeing Wen Qun's lazy look, like a cute little sleeping pig, he couldn't help but laugh. Jing Yao gently stroked Wen Qun's hair and said softly: "Have a good rest, I will always be by your side to take care of you."

Wen Qun nodded, closed his eyes and continued to sleep. Jing Yao hugged Wen Qun and felt very satisfied.

Jing Yao gently patted Wen Qun's back, hoping that he could sleep more peacefully. He knew that Wen Qun was very tired recently and needed a good rest.

Wen Qun gradually fell asleep in Jing Yao's arms, with a happy smile on his face. Jing Yao looked at him, his heart full of love and pampering.

In the cold winter, the whole world is covered with snow, which makes people feel lonely and bored. People walking on the road will fall down if they are not careful, as if the earth has become unpredictable. Since Wen Qun is pregnant, Jing Yao naturally dare not let him go out easily, for fear of any mishap.

Wen Qun sat quietly in the warm room, holding a thick account book tightly in his arms, and began to carefully calculate the accounts. In this quiet and cold winter, the only pleasure he could find was to count the wealth that shone with silver light.

"This is a lot of silver!" Wen Qun couldn't help but sigh, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

Jing Yao smiled and nodded, agreeing: "Yes, food, clothing, housing and transportation all require money. If there is not enough oil and water, it is impossible to make a living with just the meager salary of my eldest brother. So I have to work harder."

He knew that he was responsible for supporting many people, which was very different from when he started from scratch. Jing Yao thought to himself that his elder brother was now shouldering a heavier burden and more pressure.

Wen Qun shook his head slightly and said with emotion: "I never thought that being an official would cost so much money."

Jing Yao smiled and explained, "Not all officials are like this. We have just hired a lot of craftsmen recently, which is quite expensive. When the spring comes, the crops can be planted and harvested smoothly, and the people can live a stable and happy life, then we will see the rewards."

Jing Yao stroked his chin and thought for a while. He had been spending money during this period of time. Although each amount was small, he had spent several thousand taels in total.

Wen Qun frowned and said worriedly, "We don't know what the soil is like in Qingyang County. We don't know if the crops we plant will grow well."

Jing Yao said nonchalantly: "The land in Qingyang County is still good, and we also have a secret weapon - fertilizer."

Fertilizer is a good thing. As long as there is enough fertilizer, there is no need to worry about crops not growing on the land. Moreover, they can sell the excess fertilizer to other places. In this way, not only can the problem of Qingyang County be solved, but also a lot of money can be made.

Thinking of this, Jing Yao couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.

He continued, "Besides, my elder brother said that if we report this, there should be a reward. I wonder how much the reward will be. If the emperor is generous and gives me tens of thousands of taels of silver, then we can just eat and wait for death from now on."

Wen Qun said helplessly: "You are dreaming."

Jing Yao: “…”

Who says it's not true? Emperor Xuanyuan Ting seems to be stingy and a poor emperor.

So, his idea is just a thought.

Wen Qun held the account book and said expectantly: "If the emperor wants to give a reward, it should not be small." After all, he is the emperor. If he is stingy, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

Jing Yao nodded in agreement, his lips slightly raised, his eyes gleaming with anticipation, and said, "There is no such thing as too much silver, the more the better."

No matter how poor Xuanyuan Ting was, he was still the emperor! As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, so he would definitely be able to give a lot of rewards.

Due to the long distance, it took a long time to transport the fertilizer and the curved plow to Kyoto. After hearing the news, the emperor went to see the effect of the "curved plow" on the land. He was overjoyed and thought it was a sign of prosperity for the country.

He praised Wen Yu for presenting the "curved plow" and ordered the Ministry of Industry to make every effort to produce this "curved plow" and put it into widespread use before spring plowing.

Seeing the emperor so happy, a group of officials began to praise the emperor for his wisdom and intelligence, saying that only such a wise monarch could make such a magical treasure come into the world.

Their flattery is endless, which makes people sigh at the hypocrisy and flattery in officialdom.

However, these compliments seemed to have no effect on Xuanyuan Ting. He was still immersed in joy and looked forward to the future of the country.

"Ayao, Qun Qun, you are all here. The reward from the capital has arrived." Wen Yu entered the study room carrying a box and saw the two sticky people. He pretended not to see them and said.

Hearing this, the two of them came over to take a look with great interest.

Wen Yu put the box on the table and opened it. Inside was an imperial edict and some silver.

What was special was that there was a letter inside. He picked up the letter and handed it over, then said to Jing Yao: "Ayao, the emperor is very satisfied with your performance. He has specially issued an edict to commend you and bestow you with 5,000 taels of silver as a reward."

After Jing Yao heard this, he showed a hint of surprise on his face, but soon regained his composure. He took the letter and read it carefully, and found that in addition to praising his own achievements, it also mentioned the emperor's expectations and trust in him.

Qun Qun on the side was extremely excited, with a gleam in his eyes, and could not help saying, "Wow! Five thousand taels of silver! We can buy a lot of delicious and fun things!" As he said that, he reached out to touch the pile of silver.

Seeing this, Wen Yu pushed the box over to him so that he could see it more conveniently, and said with a smile: "Qun Qun, these are the rewards from the emperor, they are all specially cast gold ingots. Moreover, the emperor's reward this time is more than five thousand taels. It's just because the emperor has just ascended the throne and needs money for many places, so he can only give this much for now. However, I believe there will be more rewards waiting for us in the future."

Jing Yao nodded to show his understanding. He knew that the emperor had just ascended the throne and the country was in a state of disrepair and needed a lot of financial support. It was already very good to receive such a reward, and he did not feel disappointed or dissatisfied.

Wen Yu continued, "In fact, the emperor originally intended to confer a title on you. However, because you were born a commoner and did not have an aristocratic background, some officials opposed it. They believed that doing so was against the rules and would easily arouse public anger. Therefore, the emperor had to temporarily shelve this idea and wait for the right time to confer a title on you."

After hearing this, Jing Yao smiled slightly and didn't care. He knew very well that the officialdom was complicated and there were constant conflicts of interest.

Jing Yao nodded and said nonchalantly: "With my abilities, I am good enough to be a businessman, but it is not appropriate for me to be promoted to a higher position."

"In fact, Ayao, if you are willing to be an official, you will also be a good official." Wen Yu joked with a smile.

Jing Yao shook his head to refuse.

Although he felt a little regretful for not being able to be knighted, he preferred his current life.
