"Thank you for your understanding, sir." Xu Siyu bowed her head and accepted the gesture.

On Pinduoduo, grain seeds cost ten cents per pound, and there were instructions for growing seedlings. Xu Siyu simply copied them out, and with four hundred taels a year, she secured the Changjiafu market. While the process wasn't pleasant, it was still a win when you think about it!

Standing in the position of Fu Zhifu, 20,000 dan of grain seemed to be right in front of him. He was about to be promoted, which would be a huge profit.

If both parties feel that they have made a profit in a transaction, then that is the best transaction.

Xu Siyu was rushing home to do real estate, but unfortunately, when she rushed home from Heqing County, it was already dusk the next day. Lord Shi Hong had just received the news that the government office was moved to Changjia County. Before the jurisdiction of the government office and the county office was clearly divided, all land registration was prohibited.

Alas, it’s too late, what a pity.

Fortunately, she still has a small hill, which can be regarded as a visionary investment in her early years.

The first step in building Changjia Prefecture was to expand the city and rebuild the city walls.

The farms that were included in the new city were moved to farther places, the city walls were built to the Jia River, and Jiang Yuge was inexplicably incorporated into the city.

Cuihua Mountain is filled with the sounds of construction.

The beautiful riverside scenery in the past has now become a wall. Xu Si was very unhappy about it, so he simply closed Jiangyu Pavilion and only kept the shops occupying the road to do Xu's business.

She surrounded the Xu family's house, garden and Jiangyu Pavilion building on Cuihua Mountain with a high wall, and reshaped the direction and landscape.

Thus, a private estate of the Xu family - Cuihua Garden was born.

Li Surin also "found" some missed household registrations, and used the reason of changing the township to return the residents of Hengshan Township to the less-than-conspicuous former Anyun County, thus fulfilling his wish.

Today, a piece of flat wasteland has been allocated to the people of Hengshan Village on the edge of Anyun Town. He also bought grain seeds from Xu Zhuang with his own money, thinking that he could make good arrangements for his old friend.

Sure enough, when people have power, they almost have a shortcut to solve problems.

They both had their own wishes, and they both achieved them.

After the deal with Prefect Fu, Lin Yiqing advised her not to get involved with any government officials again until she understood the bigger picture.

She treated it as a business deal, but these officials used it as leverage to trap her.

Everyone has selfish desires, and Xu Siyu's selfishness is the most obvious. The selfishness of those people is buried behind their polite and decent appearance, and it is difficult to see through.

There is more behind them, and if you can't see clearly, you can easily become cannon fodder.

Whether it is Changjia County or Changjia Prefecture, they only occupy a small world in Dali Dynasty. The desires of people in officialdom are insatiable, and they all hope to move up to the political center.

Xu Siyu also understood.

She cooperated with the officials for safety, and if cooperation would put her in danger, she would definitely give it up.

Lord Lu, who went east to Jiangling Prefecture, wrote to Xu Siyu asking for seeds.

Jiangling, a land of fish and rice, has far more fertile soil and water than Changjia Prefecture in the southwest, but its yield per mu is only two dan, which is not as high as Xuzhuang.

Mr. Lu discussed this matter in correspondence with a friend in Suzhou. The situation in Suzhou was: "In a good harvest, the yield is two to three dan of rice per mu."

In other words, Xu Zhuang has 450 dan of fertility per mu, which is far more fertile than the soil in the south of the Yangtze River.

Lord Lu wrote to her and told her that he had reported the news that Xu Siyu had good seeds to the court in the capital.

For Xu Siyu, this is also a show of hand.

But this letter did not cause much trouble to Xu Siyu.

Now, the seeds of Pin Xixi are held by He Zhixian in Heqing Prefecture. She had thought about which of them would take the credit first and exchange it for career advancement. She also knew that one day, with the recommendation of any one of them, she might have to provide grain seeds for the Dali Dynasty.

She had no way of making grain seeds, so she decided to add a bit of mystery to herself to make her story more convincing.

But what she didn't know was that Lord Lu's letter was intercepted.

There are also people who don't want the capital to know about this...

Jiangling, Linjiang Palace.

Princess Yuyang lay on the desk of Prince Linjiang, opening and reading the letters intercepted by the palace one by one.

The new Jiangling prefect Lu Zichong's correspondence with the capital, among which the one to Vice-Chancellor Wang Zhi caught her attention.

The moon sets and the crow crows.

The county lady served a tranquilizing medicine soup to the Prince of Linjiang, and the prince slept well all night.

early morning.

It was just dawning.

An ordinary carriage drove out of the Linjiang Palace and headed westward with wheels turning.

……

It's midsummer and it's hot and humid.

Xu Siyu sat in the pavilion facing the wind, staring intently at the "young man" in front of her with fluttering hair and boiling red clothes. It was the first time she saw such a heroic and generous girl dressed as a woman. She really wanted to look at her more and absorb some of her beauty for the baby in her belly.

"Cough cough..." The "boy" felt a little overwhelmed by Xu Siyu's gaze and had to cough to ease the embarrassment.

Xu Siyu smiled with a completely motherly attitude, "I heard you came to ask for seeds? Excuse me, sir, how big is your land?"

Since he is a man dressed as a woman, he should at least address the guests according to their preferences.

"Three hundred thousand hectares, I wonder if Second Madam Lin has enough grain seeds?"

...Ten thousand hectares? This was the kind of land only the nobility could possibly own.

Xu Zhuang has 3,000 mu, which is equivalent to 30 mu.

Adding a "wan" means a completely different concept.

Xu Siyu became serious, holding her waist and keeping her back straight.

"Sir, what is your surname, and where are you from?"

"Xiangzhou, Sima Yang. Grandfather and Lord Lu have an old acquaintance."

Oh, it was introduced by Lord Lu.

Xu Siyu hasn't memorized the list of dignitaries outside the mansion yet, so she can only remember their surnames for now and respect them as if they were Lord Lu, and then find out their backgrounds later.

"Master Sima, have you ever seen the soil and water in Xu Village? I wonder what the climate in Xiangzhou is like, and whether it's suitable for using our seeds?"

"Don't worry, Madam. We have someone to take care of the farm and grow both dry wheat and rice. Today, I'm here to ask Madam Lin to buy a hectare of land to try out the grain seeds. No matter what the result is, the Sima family will be held responsible."

Okay, she was already coerced by Lu Zichong. In fact, it would be beneficial for her to plant more crops.

Xu Siyu prepared 800 kilograms of grain seeds for Sima Yang.

Half a month later, a piece of empty farmland under Jiangling Prefecture was planted in late summer, and before winter came, this piece of land would give them a surprising harvest.

……

After the fall, Xu Wang's health became worse, like the branches of trees in winter. The old lady's spirit became much weaker, and she often slept for half a day and woke up for the other half.

My eldest uncle, the third great uncle, passed away.

Xu Wangshi is going back to Yunyang Town to mourn.

Xu Siyu was pregnant and could not go to the mourning hall, so Xu Chengyuan and his wife accompanied her back.

Xu Siyu never expected that Xu Wangshi's departure would be forever.

After paying homage to his third uncle, Xu Chengyuan drove his carriage back home before it got dark.

The city of Changjia Prefecture is twice as large as before. The city gate near Yunyang Town is opened to the edge of the cemetery. The road between Yunyang Town and Changjia Prefecture was built by Xu Siyu and is paved with bluestone, which is flat and smooth.

This way, Xu Chengyuan could return in less than an hour by driving his carriage, but the carriage disappeared along the way...
