Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich
Chapter 71 Unexpected
The next morning, Ye Guo took Xiao Wan and got on Ye Xuan's carriage.
They did not inform anyone of their departure, not even Uncle Chen, who thought they were just going out to buy some daily necessities.
"Are you just leaving like this? Are you sure about your second brother?" Ye Xuan felt that he couldn't understand her anymore.
When involved in such a big thing, most people would try to get to the bottom of it and even get a piece of the pie.
She was fine, she left cleanly and neatly.
"My second brother woke up this morning and I've said goodbye to him. He's different from you and he supports my decision."
Ye Guo hugged his package to his chest, bent his legs, and squatted on the seat, swaying like a tumbler, looking both pitiful and funny.
Ye Wan had been trying to get her to sit still, but she was powerless. It was because Ye Guo was feeling very insecure and didn't want to listen to any advice.
"Why did you come to Lingnan? Is it also for the salt?" Ye Guo suddenly asked after the carriage had been going for an unknown amount of time.
Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I came here to look for my master, and now that I have met him, I am able to give you a ride along the way."
Yes, one trip. Ye Xuan would not send them back to Yejia Village, but would send them to Changhua County.
"What does your master have to do with salt?"
Ye Xuan was really surprised by her political sensitivity. What was even more shocking was, how could she, a girl, so easily start discussing current affairs with him?
"How do you know that my master is related to Yanyin?"
But there was no answer to this.
Ye Xuan waited for a long time before he resigned himself to his fate and said, "My current job is to edit the Imperial Academy, so I am naturally more informed than the outside world. The matter of the salt permit was decided three months ago. Master went on this trip to stabilize the situation in Lingnan."
Ye Guo nodded to show that he understood, and didn't want to say another word.
Ask him who his master is?
An ant trying to shake a tree? In feudal society, human rights were not respected.
All Ye Guo was concerned about now were the sugarcane in the package and the rice seeds on the cart.
It's funny to say that there are street stalls everywhere. She bought all these things from the roadside stalls on Women's Street.
Sugarcane is grown in the backyard and can be used to make sugar after harvest.
Rice seeds need to be germinated before they can be grown into seedlings. As long as there are no consecutive rainy days, there is enough time.
A small portion of the rice seeds at home were bought directly by her and then picked out one by one.
Before she came out, she told her eldest brother in advance and asked him to go to the rice fields to choose those with thick branches and full grains, and then dry them separately for breeding.
She confirmed again and again that the newly purchased rice seeds would take three months to grow.
Along the way, Ye Guo spent all his time sleeping and thinking about farming.
This made Ye Xuan even more confused. It was hard to imagine how she could do this and really not care about it.
The truth is, Ye Guo is too aware of his own status. Asking or not asking, the result is not much different, it is better to control his curiosity.
From the perspective of a book traveler, the second brother's poison was cured, he woke up, and the Sun family owed him a life-saving favor, so he actually made a profit.
She kept wondering, how bold and reckless were those people to poison the tea?
However, after a detailed conversation with Uncle Sun, he came to know that the people who were supposed to be in the private room that day included not only them but also members of the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce who were familiar to him and all of them were wealthy.
His original intention was to let her and her second brother see it, but he ended up making things worse.
As soon as the incident happened, the government received the report and caught the person who poisoned the food before curfew.
The person was found by Jinzunlou themselves, a kitchen helper who had only been working there for three months.
As for the people behind the scenes, there are too many things involved, so it can only be a business matter and should be resolved in the business world.
Ye Guo wanted to avenge her second brother, but what could she do? They could crush them to death with just a flick of their fingers.
Uncle Sun said that people who did not come to the private room that day had their supplements delivered over one after another, and some even delivered them directly to the house or to other people.
Her second brother was once the youngest student in Changhua County. Outsiders did not know his intelligence, his talent, and his mind, and these were only briefly mentioned in the book, but she understood.
Few people are content to be ordinary in life, so it is better to give them a chance to change their fate.
If she stays in Lingnan, more people's attention will only be focused on her, which is putting the cart before the horse.
As for the poison in my second brother's body, Uncle Sun has already taken care of him personally, so what else is there to worry about?
After visiting Lingnan, she realized that Daqing's agriculture, handicrafts, commerce, and politics were much more developed than she had imagined.
However, due to the inconvenient transportation, the gap between regions is huge.
If you want to get rich, build roads first. This is indeed the insight left by our ancestors.
The reason why Lingnan Prefecture is so advanced is mainly due to its developed water transportation, docks, and canal transportation, all of which are hens that lay golden eggs.
The most important thing is that before returning, Uncle Sun gave her a letter, asking her to pass the letter to the prefect of Changhua County.
The time of delivering the letter is decided by her, which is actually equivalent to giving her a stepping stone.
Ye Guo has been traveling through the book for such a long time, but he has always been timid. The main reason, apart from the plot of the heroine, is mainly due to his limited social status.
Now that the time had come, she could act.
Three days passed in a flash, and when the carriage entered Changhua County, Ye Xuan took the initiative to remind.
"Let's go to the Jade Tea House. I want to eat the osmanthus cake there."
Ye Xuan always thought that he was a calm person, until he met Ye Guo and heard these words. He took a deep breath and then gave the orders as if nothing had happened.
"What? Do you think I shouldn't care about food now?" Ye Guo was speechless.
He is indeed a young master from a prominent family, who has not experienced the harsh experiences of society.
"You should thank me for allowing you to smoothly pick up the person you wanted to pick up."
"What do you mean?" Ye Xuan didn't think that she really knew everything.
Ye Guo had a good impression of him, so she didn't mind him asking knowingly, "Where is your little book boy?"
Seeing that she really understood, Ye Xuan was very surprised: "So when you suggested going along the way that day, you knew I would definitely agree?"
"Why not?" Ye Guo lifted the curtain and got out of the car. "I never do anything that I am not sure of."
What was her heart like? Every step was beyond his expectations.
Did she already have a plan when they met in Lingnan? If not him, would there be someone else?
So when Ye Laoer went to Lingnan, did he never think of coming back from the beginning?
If Ye Xuan asked directly, Ye Guo would tell him that the answer was yes.
When it comes to studying for the imperial examinations, even if Xiaolu and Xiaomu are geniuses, their progress is too slow and the Ye family simply cannot afford to wait.
After the two of them sat down in the private room, Ye Xuan no longer hesitated and took the initiative to ask someone to find Ah Shu.
Ye Guo drank some boiled water and ordered a bowl of noodles for Xiaowan.
Then he sat alone on the right side of Ye Xuan and asked with a smile, "What exactly is there in Changhua that is not available in other places? I am really curious."
