After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

The noise in the potato field was getting louder and louder, and someone went to deliver a letter to the village chief, Uncle Li.

When Uncle Li heard that something happened in the potato field, he quickly sent someone to invite the three clan leaders over.

They went to the field together with torches to check the situation.

When we got to the field, we saw a group of people gathered together.

In the middle of the crowd were several people tied up with ropes.

Those people kept their heads down and never looked up.

"Uncle Li, you're here. These are the people from the next village."

"Yes, Uncle Li, this is Zhang Liuzi. I've seen him before."

"They came here just to steal potatoes from the Shen family's fields."

After Uncle Li heard this, he said, "They came here to steal potatoes."

Shen Jinyao stepped forward and said, "Uncle Li, are they all from the next village?"

It was only then that Uncle Li discovered that there was a circle of people from the Shen family standing around.

Uncle Li: "Let me check and verify. If they are indeed from the neighboring village, I will take them to the government office."

"However, Mr. Shen, Miss Shen, I'm not saying that you should consider the safety of this potato field."

Shen Jinyao said, "Thank you, Uncle Li, for the reminder. I'll have someone keep an eye on it starting tomorrow."

Uncle Li took his men away the people who stole potatoes, and the rest of the people dispersed.

There is still an hour before dawn, and Shen Jinyao guessed that those people would not dare to come and steal again.

After this incident, Shen Jinyao felt that there were two things that must be done.

One is that if you want to keep growing potatoes, you have to build a farm nearby.

We have to use the land specifically to store potatoes, and we will have to hire someone to look after the potato fields in the future.

It would take about ten days to dig up all the potato fields of 100 acres, and it would be the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Another important thing is that Shen Jinyao has to get rid of these potatoes quickly.

Shen Jinyao found Shen Zhizheng and said, "Brother, take Zhiyong and Zhixue with you and go to the village to find a few strong men and have them watch over the potato fields at night."

"The pay is three times what it would be for digging potatoes. Each shift is two hours, so there are three shifts in total."

Shen Zhizheng nodded, and he also thought of finding someone to keep an eye on him.

After all, the Shen family alone does not have enough people to keep an eye on things.

Shen Zhizheng: "Don't worry, I'll go find someone."

Shen Jinyao: "If it's hard to find, just take the gongs and drums, or go directly to the village chief."

After hearing this, Zongshi thought for a moment and said, "There's no need to make a big fuss. There are a few young people in the village who are good at digging potatoes."

Meng Da: "Yes, I know a few too."

Shen Zhizheng: "In that case, take us to find them when we go to work today."

Shen Jinyao nodded, so that she could have some peace in the next few days.

But Shen Jinyao knew that doing so would not solve the fundamental problem.

The fundamental problem is where to put these potatoes.

The answer is also very simple, either sell it or put it in space.

Putting them in the space is just a transition. The most direct solution is to sell the potatoes.

Shen Jinyao said to Shen Zhizheng, "Brother, I have to go to the military camp. I'm relying on you to take care of the family affairs."

Shen Zhizheng asked: "What are you doing in the military camp?"

Shen Jinyao: "Of course, I want to see if the general wants to buy potatoes."

Shen Jinyao had two sacks moved onto the carriage. Although Shen Zhizheng didn't know what Shen Jinyao wanted to do, he really had no better way at the moment.

At this time, Shen Tingyao actually stopped the carriage and said, "I want to go too."

Shen Jinyao looked at Shen Tingyao, who was actually wearing men's clothes.

Shen Jinyao was about to refuse, but she heard Shen Tingyao say, "I'll go give the jade pendant."

Shen Jinyao did not refuse. After all, these two bags of potatoes were not for sale, and the military camp was very safe. If Shen Tingyao wanted to go, she could follow.

She knew that if she didn't let Shen Tingyao go, Shen Tingyao would definitely find a way to send it to the eldest prince.

After all, what the eldest prince said last time was somewhat insulting, and Shen Tingyao gave the jade pendant to him for the sake of her own face.

Shen Jinyao did not expose Shen Tingyao, but said: "Don't run around there."

Shen Tingyao didn't expect Shen Jinyao to agree so quickly. The other people in the Shen family were busy and didn't know that Shen Tingyao followed Shen Jinyao to the military camp.

The two young ladies were wearing men's clothes, and everyone in the village went to dig potatoes, so no one noticed them.

On the way, Shen Tingyao looked at the two bags of potatoes in the carriage and asked Shen Jinyao curiously, "Jinyao, are you planning to sell the potatoes to the military camp?"

Shen Jinyao nodded and said, "Yes, although Master Kang said that he could buy our potatoes, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst."

"You know what happened last night. We need to take these potatoes home quickly. I don't want to keep them at home forever, so I might as well sell them."

Shen Tingyao: "Then why did you think of selling it to the military camp?"

Shen Jinyao said, "In our area of dozens of miles, the place with the most people, the most food shortage, and the most money is the military camp."

"If they can harvest our potatoes, they can probably help us consume nearly half of them."

Shen Tingyao thought about it and felt that what Shen Jinyao said was indeed right.

The military camp is indeed the place with the most people, and they are all men, so they eat more.

Shen Tingyao then asked, "What about the rest? Are they all sold to Manor Master Kang?"

Shen Jinyao shook her head and said, "We can sell the rest directly at the market, or sell it to major restaurants."

"The rest will be sold to Master Kang."

Shen Tingyao didn't expect that in just one day, Shen Jinyao had already figured out what to do with these potatoes.

Shen Jinyao glanced at Shen Tingyao, who was just looking at her without saying anything, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Tingyao shook her head and said, "I can't believe it, I can't believe it, Jinyao, you are actually a good businessman."

Shen Jinyao smiled and said, "It's not easy for you to praise me. But doing business is not difficult. It just depends on whether you want to do it or not."

Shen Tingyao asked: "Can I do it too?"

Shen Jinyao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Don't you have a thousand taels in your hand? You can think of how to make it more profitable."

Shen Tingyao was shocked and said, "Money makes money? How does it make money?"

Shen Jinyao held the reins with one hand and said, "You can think about what you are interested in. For example, you like rouge and powder, jewelry and clothes."

Shen Tingyao nodded, not quite understanding.

The gate of the military camp was right in front of them. Shen Jinyao continued, "You can think about it first. If you can do it, I can help you."

"Let's not talk about it now. We've arrived at the military camp."

Shen Tingyao nodded.

The soldier guarding the gate was not unfamiliar with Shen Jinyao, but he saw the handsome young man she brought with her for the first time.

"Mr. Shen, are you here to see Commander Pan today as well? Or are you looking for Mr. Zhao?"

Shen Jinyao smiled and said, "I'm looking for none of them. I'm looking for General Xiang."

Xiang Hongxuan was a little surprised when he got the news. This was the first time that Shen Jinyao came to the military camp not to look for someone else, but to look for her.
