Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

……

Changjia County has only more than 10,000 households and a population of 100,000.

The one or two kilograms consumed by each household was less than a fraction of the total, so Xu Siyu resold the salt permits.

Now she is reselling it not by asking people to exchange it for food, but by selling it to the highest bidder.

Xu Siyu kept enough salt from Changjia County. No matter how high the price she sold it to outsiders was, the price of salt in Changjia County remained stable.

There is also grain. After Xu Zhuang's annual production is enough to cover its own expenses and become self-sufficient, there are 13,500 dan left to be put on the market. Although it is not enough to shake the pricing of Zhouji Rice Shop, Xu Siyu always asks his own shop to release some of it to lower the price when the grain price goes up.

As a result, she made a lot of money and gained fame.

In Changjia County, it was said that the Xu family was a kind businessman, and Xu Ji's businesses became easier to do.

Xu Siyu is doing projects that win the hearts of the people.

The real richest man, in addition to making money and paying taxes, also has to win the hearts of the people.

Xu Siyu selected a few guards to keep with her. During this period, not only were all the Lin family members stopped outside the Xu family's gate by her, but even Lin Yiqing could only talk to her in the open room on the pretext of business.

"Qingqing, it's been three months. Can you move back inside?"

Lin Yiqing is on Xu Siyu's side, otherwise he would not attack Bei Zhai so directly.

But when it comes to Xu Siyu getting along with his mother, he thinks Xu Siyu should be more courteous.

Judging from the results, her mother was not sick because of her anger towards her mother-in-law. How could Xu Siyu separate from him and stop communicating with him just because of his words "Don't hold grudges, be more understanding"?

They are husband and wife, and his mother is also her mother. She is so filial to Xu Wangshi, shouldn't she treat them equally and be nicer to his mother?

Lin Yiqing still didn't understand until now that Xu Siyu had been enduring for a long time.

Lin's mother and the rest of the Lin family were the same. They looked down on her deep down, spoke harshly, and glared at her.

They did not directly respond to Lin Yiqing's choice of life philosophy, but always liked to find her and use various moral blackmail on her.

It was her fault that Lin Yiqing had established his own family and married her to live next to the Xu family's house;

It was her fault that a scholar who went into business turned into a bandit.

It was her fault that the Lin family had caused a commotion at Xuan Er's hundred-day banquet;

It was her fault that Lin Yiqing used the family motto to settle the Beizhai account;

No matter what she did or didn't do every day, Lin's mother would find a reason to blame her, and it was all her fault.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. The biggest mistake I made was marrying the wrong person.

Sure enough, after all the love and sweetness, the essence of marriage is a mess.

Did Lin's mother ever think about this, or was unwilling to admit it, that if her son had no intention of dividing the family, marrying her, or teaching Bei Zhai a lesson, nothing would have happened.

Women always like to make things difficult for other women, but Xu Siyu doesn't want that. She is the one who is wronged. Who should she sympathize with to feel less wronged?

Xu Siyu put down the pen in her hand and looked at the man who had attracted her the most.

Actually, it’s not bad, it’s just lacking a little empathy.

During the time they lived apart, Xu Wang often told her that even if they fought at the head of the bed, they would make up at the foot of the bed. If a couple did not live together, their feelings would fade and it would be impossible to get them back together.

Xu Siyu reorganized her thoughts: [It’s okay to have no men in your heart, but it doesn’t mean you don’t have men around you.]

Whether emotionally or physically, Lin Yiqing is still her ideal son-in-law and will contribute to her success. Since he has offered her a way out, she should take it.

"Mother's illness is almost healed. I will take Xuan'er back home tonight."

Just across the yard, Lin Yiqing certainly knew the situation of Xu Wangshi, but at this time, whatever Xu Siyu said was the truth.

……

After Xu Siyu went out more frequently, the unevenly broken bluestones and gullies of various sizes on the road almost drove her crazy.

She has always had a wish - to build roads.

The construction of the official roads of Dali Dynasty was coordinated by the imperial court, and a county had no say in the matter.

After the road was repaired, it was directly managed by people sent by the imperial court's Ministry of War, and each county and prefecture could only manage the roads within the city walls.

Xu Siyu asked County Magistrate Hong to write a petition on her behalf, requesting that the post roads between Heqing Prefecture and Changjia County, Changjia County and Yunyang Town, and Changjia County and Sanxi Township, where she traveled frequently, be repaired.

Xu Siyu was particularly careful with her choice of words when talking about repair. She had no authority to build a road, but the road condition was too bad, so she donated money to repair it, prepared the materials, and took on the manpower. She welcomed officials at all levels to come and give guidance, and just hoped for an approval.

Xu Siyu even secretly left a batch of "filial piety money". After all, the "Golden Bridge and Silver Road" not only refers to the future toll revenue, but also includes various benefits during construction.

While waiting for a reply, one day in June, County Magistrate Hong invited Xu Siyu to go to County Magistrate He's mansion for a talk.

When this post was sent to Xu Siyu, she silently looked through the latest account book again, thinking that it might be related to her previous statement that she supported County Magistrate Hong to move up to the next level.

As a grassroots official in Dali, there were no soaring political achievements, and the path to promotion was determined by the strokes of the pen of the Ministry of Personnel's Examination and Reward Department.

County Magistrate He had been in the position for six years, so naturally he was unwilling to remain hidden in the county.

He secretly made a lot of money and power transactions in Changjia County. To put it bluntly, the money that County Magistrate He could come up with was no less than that of the Lin family. It was just wealth, not the reputation that could glorify his official career.

Lao Hong didn't have a close relationship with him, but he still wanted him to be promoted. After all, as long as he stayed, he would still be the county magistrate.

Since he came to discuss cooperation, County Magistrate He did not hide the new position he had his eyes on.

"Northward, Yuanzhou, where the Zhaowu Army of the previous dynasty was stationed, occupied the essential route between Shu and Gansu and Shaanxi provinces. After the Li Dynasty conquered Shu, the Zhaowu Jiedushi administrative district, where Yuanzhou was located, was changed to the Transport Commissioner administrative district... The new Transport Commissioner decided to relocate the seat of government from Yuanzhou to Zhong'an Prefecture, and then, with Zhong'an Prefecture as the center, he would be responsible for the transportation of military supplies and financial tributes between the three regions."

"Yuanzhou, Transport Commissioner, Zhong'an Prefecture?" Xu Siyu repeated these key words, wondering what County Magistrate He was asking for?

"I want to be the chief official of Yuanzhou for once."

Zhi Yuanzhou, now Xu Siyu understood.

But Xu Siyu didn't understand why County Zhixian would ask for a prefectural governor for an old city that was about to be abandoned?

But she didn't understand, so she couldn't ask. Instead, she had to follow the man's words and continue: "Sir, how can I help you?"

He Zhongteng was temporarily satisfied with this considerate attitude, but the topic soon changed to the road construction issue.

"Earlier, you petitioned to repair the post road in and out of Changjia County. The county magistrate asked me to write a letter to the higher authorities. The petition went through the capital and was approved. However..."

"It's just..." Xu Siyu didn't want to be the supporting role, but if you don't give her a way to end the conversation, are you going to let the leader talk to himself and express his opinion alone?

"This road is a little shorter."

The three winding roads are more than 300 miles in total. Is that still short?

"There's also a road in Zhong'an Prefecture, the official road that goes from Guangjian Pass to Yuanzhou. It's been damaged by years of war and is difficult to reuse. The new transport envoy hopes that this road can be repaired and cleared. I'd like to ask Second Madam Lin for help."

As Magistrate He spoke, he handed Xu Siyu a redrawn map of the Zhaowu Ancient Road.
