Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

Jiang Nianwei suggested, "In that case, why don't you all follow me out to try out this cart and take a walk? Siyu, you stay at home and look after the house."

Duan Yun knew in his heart that Jiang Nianwei's move was actually creating an opportunity for him to be alone with Jiang Siyu.

Jiang Siyu closed the book in her hand, and her eyes finally met Duan Yun's.

Until the others disappeared, there were only two of them left in the yard.

Duan Yuncai slowly opened his mouth and said sincerely: "Siyu, I was indeed too harsh in my tone last time. I apologize to you, and I hope you won't avoid me because of this."

Jiang Siyu smiled as usual, "I'm not angry, I just took your words to heart. It turns out that I was ignorant. Dad told me, 'The people are difficult to govern because they are too smart. Therefore, governing a country with wisdom is a disaster for the country; not governing a country with wisdom is a blessing for the country.' So I want to teach and educate people like Dad."

This was not a sudden idea. She had initially followed Jiang Yan to study in a private school, but she was unwilling to do so and wanted to prove herself.

When she saw those young children, despite being busy with farm work at home every day, they still insisted on coming to the private school to study, and after class every day they surrounded their father and asked all kinds of strange questions.

Completely different from those worldly adults, they are not driven by interests, but only have a pure desire for knowledge in their hearts.

Duan Yun did feel that she was different from before. Change is a good thing, but he felt an unspeakable sense of loss in his heart.

He couldn't help but ask, "Even so, you don't have to hide from me all the time."

Jiang Siyu answered seriously: "I didn't mean to avoid it."

But in the end, he still couldn't finish his sentence. "If you have nothing else to do, then leave early. These pickled plums are specially left for you by my mother. Don't forget to take them with you."

Since she no longer paid any attention to him, Duan Yun could only turn around and say goodbye.

……

Jiang Nianwei and her sister-in-law were strolling along the country road.

The design of this wooden cart is exquisite and practical. Chen Ge'er only needs to sit on it and tie the straps, and the adults can push him leisurely on the flat path. The tires are shock-absorbing, so you can hardly feel the bumps.

In the future, if you get tired of walking, you don’t need adults to hold you.

Chen Ge'er was also very curious about this and looked around while sitting on the cart.

Seeing how cute he was, Qiu Xuemei couldn't help but say, "He seems to like this car very much."

"As long as Brother Chen likes it, that way, everyone can save some effort in holding him in the future."

Qiu Xuemei suddenly sighed, "Seeing that you all have busy things to do, it seems that I am the only 'idle person' left at home."

Jiang Nianwei was afraid that her sister-in-law would have unnecessary worries, so she gently comforted her: "Sister-in-law, don't be so modest. You are definitely not an idle person. The responsibility of raising a child is actually more arduous than any other work in the world. If you find it monotonous and boring, let Chunyu and Taozhi take turns to help you in the future. They will definitely be able to share a lot of your burden."

Qiu Xuemei smiled and shook her head. "They have helped me a lot. My parents never let me worry about any household affairs. When they are free, other family members will take the initiative to help me take care of the children."

She saw that her parents-in-law were still far away, so she moved closer to Jiang Nianwei and asked, "Recently, I often feel night sweats and feel very upset. Do you know what these symptoms are? Is there any good way to relieve my troubles?"

Jiang Nianwei paused when she heard this, then stretched out her hand and placed it on her wrist. After a moment, she opened her red lips and said, "Maybe it's due to qi deficiency. You can try to eat more red dates and lotus seed soup to replenish qi and blood. In addition, I will prepare a prescription for you. You should take it according to the prescription. After a few days, you should feel better."

She thought for a moment, and then continued, "As for your annoyance... If you are interested, I will accompany you to Yazhou City in a few days to take a walk and relax. Perhaps it is because of the isolation of this island that you feel depressed. Going out for a walk may help you get rid of these troubles."

Hearing about going to the weighing area for fun, Qiu Xuemei was delighted: "What you said makes sense, then please take me out for a walk."

"We are family, why bother? Oh, sister-in-law, have you used up the ointment and freckle cream I gave you last time?"

When talking about these, Qiu Xuemei couldn't help but praise them, "Those two things are very effective. The brown spots on my face are now gone. It's really magical."

"I'll get you a few more bottles when I get back."

Jiang Nianwei then quickly moved to Jiang Yan's side and mentioned the matter of reclaiming the wasteland. "Dad, I have found a sales channel. I want to grow fruit on that barren mountain. What do you think?"

Jiang Yan nodded and said slowly: "I have mentioned this matter to the villagers, but the wasteland is indeed huge, and most of the villagers are busy with farming and glass making, so it is difficult for them to get away."

Jiang Nianwei saw his eyes flickering, and knew that this matter was not as simple as he said, "Dad, if there is something hidden in this matter, you might as well speak up and we can discuss it together."

Jiang Yancai sighed: "There is no precedent for planting fruit trees. The villagers are full of doubts. They don't know whether this move can bring benefits, so they are naturally unwilling to make efforts easily."

Jiang Nianwei thought for a moment, and an idea flashed through her mind, "I have an idea."

Since you are afraid of not making any profit, then create some visible benefits.

The area of ​​the barren mountain is quite large, and it is hard to say how long it will take for the family to complete the reclamation if they just rely on their efforts.

"Nianwei, do you have any good ideas?"

Jiang Nianwei smiled slightly and shook her head mysteriously, "It's still a secret now, and my father will know it by then."

There were a large amount of gold ore stored in the space, so she took out a dozen pieces at random and asked her eldest brother to help bury them scattered in the barren mountains.

The gold ore looks huge, but actually there is not much gold produced from one piece, but it is enough to attract other people's attention.

On the second day, Jiang Nianwei hired several free people in the village to go to the barren mountain to reclaim the wasteland.

At first the villagers were not very interested, but one of them suddenly dug up a stone with a golden surface.

Seeing this, Jiang Nianwei pretended to be surprised and came forward to look at the stone carefully, then shouted in surprise: "This... this looks like a gold mine stone! Could there be a gold mine here?"

The villager shook his head and said doubtfully: "How is this possible? Our ancestors have lived here for generations. This land is so barren, how could there be a gold mine?"

Another older villager also came over and said, "This should be gold ore. I've been to a mine before and the ore I saw was exactly the same as this one."

The news spread quickly, and everyone in the village knew there was a gold mine in the ground, so they all started carrying hoes to dig.

In an instant, the villagers picked up their hoes and stepped onto the wasteland that had once been ignored, scrambling to dig out gold from it.

Seeing that she had achieved her desired goal, Jiang Nianwei told Jiang Yan the truth.

"I just took advantage of the villagers' psychology. If I just hired these villagers to work, they would just work step by step and would not do anything without benefits. Now that they know there is gold in the land, they will naturally be motivated and work enthusiastically. Look at the speed. In just a few days, most of the wasteland has been reclaimed. In less than half a month, the wasteland will be reclaimed."

Jiang Yan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh after hearing this, "You, you are really cunning."

He also knew that what his daughter said was true. The gold mines buried in the ground would make the villagers competitive and mobilize their enthusiasm. They would want to get more gold, so they would naturally work harder and faster without realizing it.

If she only guarded her one acre and three mu of land, she would never be able to become truly wealthy, so Jiang Nianwei had no choice but to resort to this last resort.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was not dry. Jiang Nianwei took her sister-in-law and Yunniang to visit Yazhou City.

In order to avoid being seen, they all dressed in disguise and mingled with the common people in the market, just like ordinary passers-by, without appearing the slightest bit unusual.

The two looked at the dazzling gadgets on the street, stopping from time to time to admire them, and they were very curious. "The folk customs here are completely different from ours."

When they arrived in front of a clothing store, Jiang Nianwei suddenly stopped and turned to Yunniang and asked, "Yunniang, what do you think of the location of this store?"

Yunniang looked around carefully and saw that the clothing store was located at the intersection of a busy street. She could not help but nod and praise, "This is an excellent location. It is where people gather. I think the business must be booming."

Jiang Nianwei led them into the store. When the shop assistant saw Jiang Nianwei coming, he greeted her warmly, "Miss, you are finally here. The fashionable clothes you brought earlier are almost sold out."

When Yunniang heard this, she became curious and asked softly, "Are the ready-made clothes you mentioned the ones I sewed myself?"

"That's right. Although this clothing store is under my cousin's name, most of the clothes sold are the ones you skillfully knit. In order to run this store, I have carefully selected several smart assistants and several skilled seamstresses. All the profits from the store are yours. From now on, you can stay here and be the boss lady."

Yunniang's heart suddenly surged with sadness, and her eyes were moist. "Miss, why do you take so much trouble to pave such a path for me? With my status and position, I just want to stay by your side and serve you, and have enough to eat... What virtue and ability do I have?"

"Your embroidery skills are second to none, and the clothes you make are all exquisite and amazing. I have only done a little work to find you a good job, but from now on, I am afraid your life will not be as leisurely as it was on the island."

Seeing that she seemed to have doubts, Jiang Nianwei continued to explain: "Don't worry, this shop is not given to you for nothing. If I open a clothing store somewhere else in the future, I will also have to sell the clothes and embroidery patterns you designed. In this way, both of us can benefit from it. Isn't it wonderful?"

After this explanation, Yunniang was able to accept it without any psychological pressure. She showed a happy smile on her face and said softly, "Yunniang is very grateful for your kindness, Miss."

Jiang Nianwei waved her hand, "You're welcome. You can stay here and check if there's anything the shop is short of. If you need anything, just tell the shop assistant to go and buy it. We'll meet at Baihua Tower at noon and talk in detail then."

When Qiu Xuemei saw that Yunniang had her own shop, she was naturally envious, and she was even more envious of her for having such skills.

Although she was born into an official family, she seemed mediocre in all aspects. She had no talent for business, and the shop she came with as a dowry was managed by her mother-in-law.

Seeing her lost look, Jiang Nianwei waved her over and said, "Sister-in-law, come and take a look. How does this milk cake taste?"

Qiu Xuemei took the milk cake she handed over, savored it carefully, and her eyes lit up slightly. "This milk cake has a delicate taste, sweet but not greasy, it's really good."

"Then let's buy a few more boxes so that Dad, Mom and Big Brother can also try the new things in the city."

The two of them strolled through the bustling streets.

Qiu Xuemei seemed a little melancholy, "Compared with other people in my family, am I very mediocre?"

"Sister-in-law, why do you have such an idea? I think you have many outstanding qualities."

She felt melancholy in her heart, "I know you are just comforting me."

When passing by a cosmetics shop, Qiu Xuemei couldn't help but stop and look, but her eyes were attracted by a porcelain jar in a woman's hand.

The style of the porcelain jar was very familiar to her, and she walked over involuntarily, only to find that it was exactly the same as the one Jiang Nianwei gave her, even the scent was similar.

Qiu Xuemei asked gently, "Miss, do you like this perfume in your hand?"

The woman nodded slightly: "This ointment has a delicate scent that makes people feel relaxed and happy, but the price is a bit high."

"It's expensive, but the effect is worth it. You can smell it on me. I have this fragrance. It's the balm I applied this morning, and it still has a lingering fragrance. And this balm also has the effect of moisturizing the skin, which is double the effect."

Her detailed introduction made the woman excited. "In that case, the price is quite affordable."

Qiu Xuemei glanced lightly around the shop and found the freckle cream again.

She picked up the freckle cream and couldn't help but praise it again, "I originally had a lot of spots on my face, but after using this freckle cream, they have disappeared."

The female customers around her were attracted by her words and gathered around her. One of them asked curiously, "Is the effect really that good? Then I would like to buy a bottle to try."

Following Qiu Xuemei's in-depth introduction and demonstration of usage, several bottles were sold in the shop at once.

Jiang Nianwei came to her sister-in-law and smiled warmly: "Sister-in-law, do you still think you are mediocre now?"

Qiu Xuemei realized it later and smiled shyly, "I never realized that I have such ability."

"I left this in the shop to sell. Now I feel that we are capable of opening a cosmetics shop. Why don't we let you run it?"

Qiu Xuemei's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she waved her hands hastily to refuse: "No, no, how can this be possible? How can I take on such a heavy responsibility? Besides, Chen Ge'er is still young, how can I leave him and do other things?"

"Brother Chen is about to be weaned, and it's time for you to do something you like."
