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

……

Xu Siyu: "People's hearts only account for a little, but more is raising 'sheep'."

"Why?"

"The wool comes from the sheep. If you want to make money in business, you have to have wool from them!"

Xu Siyu used a metaphor to explain that increasing their income is a way to improve their spending power.

"Just like an adult, if you have plenty of spare money, wouldn't you be willing to spend it on things that please you? If you're short on cash, wouldn't you just admire them from afar without even realizing it? In business, no matter how much or how little we make, we always hope that our goods can reach those who can use them. Otherwise, they'll just sit in the warehouse, becoming inventory that takes up capital. Nowadays, if a person from Changjia County has an extra hundred copper coins, I might be able to open another business. For every new business I open, I'll give one copper coin as a reward... A deal requires both parties to come together. Although I'm the seller, I also have to cultivate the buyer! That's all."

"Your twisted logic is quite interesting."

Judge Lu shook his head, thinking for a moment, and then asked again, "Do you know that you are trying to change the politics of an entire prefecture? The price you pay is not as simple as you think?"

It seemed like a warning and a reminder, but also a test of how far Xu Siyu was willing to go.

Being a beast of burden or taking the direction of a driver to see different destinations, each has its own benefits.

At this moment, Xu Siyu was extremely confident.

As long as she is valuable, who wouldn't give her some face?

"Sir, the quality of good seeds in one season is still the same for several years to come. I think you understand, and other lords understand too."

She showed her muscles and her abilities, and she believed that she was qualified to go further, but she never thought that some people only regarded her as a piece of cake and never thought of letting her sit at the table.

Judge Lu pointed at the letter on the desk regarding the county merger and reduction brought by Xu Siyu. The letter came at the right time.

Next month, the court will order him to leave Heqing Prefecture and go to Jiangling Prefecture to serve as the prefect. This news was first leaked to him by an old friend in the capital.

The transfer to the east was more or less due to Xu Siyu's contribution to the reclamation and production of grain.

In the last period of time, he showed some kindness, which not only repaid Xu Siyu's kindness of sending flowers over the years, but also deepened her entanglement with him.

"I have accepted the letter of remonstration and will discuss the details with the prefect. The merger of the three counties into Changjia County may not be possible. If Magistrate Hong wants to be promoted to a direct-controlled prefecture, he should ask the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War for help. Heqing Prefecture will not allow a county to be stronger than the capital. Moreover, Magistrate Heqing lives not far from me, and I don't want to be stopped by him for tea every day."

I understand. The prefect needs to find a balance between Heqing County and Changjia County.

When the matter was half done, Xu Siyu bowed politely: "Siyu thanks you first, sir."

In the following month, County Magistrate Hong was summoned by Prefect Fu four times to discuss "how to increase population and raise tax revenue." On the official roads of various counties, people from the Supervisory Office were often seen coming and going, and it was unknown what they were investigating.

Xu Siyu had been waiting until the news of Lu Tongpan's demotion came out. Lu Tongpan packed his bags and left, but the transfer of the county had not yet been realized.

Lin Yiqing advised her to be patient, just as she had encouraged him not to give up on the business path.

"Prefect Fu will definitely be interested in the promise you made." Prefect Fu has had a long-standing relationship with the Zhou family. Compared to the parachuted-in magistrate Lu, Lin Yiqing is more confident in dealing with the prefect.

Just by assigning it to 20,000 households, Xu Siyu would have to pay nearly 3,000 taels more in taxes to the government.

No one would not want this kind of obvious political achievement.

The key point is that Xu Siyu did not make any outrageous requests.

In Lin Yiqing's opinion, the prefect should do something about the problem of small number of servants and low tax revenue in Heqing Prefecture.

The uprising was indeed caused by Xu Siyu's personal wishes, but its success benefited the public.

Unless Prefect Fu is stupid enough to give up such an easy opportunity to make merit.

Lin Yiqing looked at her daughter-in-law with great anger and resentment.

The Nanping County Magistrate just wanted some money, but she refused and would rather spend more money to kill someone. Her decisive character really touched his heart, but he couldn't help but worry about her. She was too flamboyant and could easily be taken advantage of without knowing it.

Although he was the one who opened the Southwest Trade Route, the profits grew bigger and bigger afterwards, and many people have coveted the Xu family's business.

Xu Siyu's cooperation with the government has temporarily made people afraid to act rashly, but as the ball of interests grows bigger and bigger, the threat will also grow bigger and bigger. It may even drag the Xu family into the struggle between the government and the government.

After Xu Siyu completely reconciled with him, Lin Yiqing began to understand why he was disliked.

His girl just wants his complete trust. He should believe that she will not disappoint his family for no reason.

Staying away was the most appropriate and honorable thing she could do.

Judging from his wife's attitude, he should be thankful that Xu Siyu has not yet made up her mind to separate from him completely.

After the two of them truly reconciled, Lin Yiqing confessed his concerns to Xu Siyu. Xu Siyu listened to him and said obediently that she would not be impulsive again.

In fact, she already had a feeling of backlash. For example, the road in Yuanzhou was nowhere in sight, and He Zhongteng was still not satisfied with her investment and asked her to increase her investment.

Officials are even more ruthless when it comes to corruption than businessmen. Businessmen are only after profits, while officials suck the blood and flesh of others.

He Zhongteng wanted to skin her alive, but she held on with the help of the account book in her hand and Lu Zichong's power.

Although they appear to be in agreement with each other, they still maintain a cooperative relationship.

And Lu Zichong was not necessarily a trustworthy person.

After Lin Yiqing's reminder, Lu Zichong mentioned the issue of grain seeds being reported several times but not reported for a long time, so there must be follow-up articles, and they have to pay attention.

It was a good time to hibernate again. Xu Siyu put aside her reckless heart and re-examined her approach to dealing with things at home. Her relationship with Lin Yiqing returned to the love they had when they were newly married, and she also had her second child.

Winter goes and spring comes, and another year has passed.

The news of the appearance of bandits in Heqing Prefecture came with great fanfare.

That day, the people from Qingyuju had just prepared lunch for Xu Siyu.

Lin Yiqing, who had originally taken her to inspect the farm, hurried back and asked someone to send a message to the Xu family and close the doors.

"Bandits? Not just ordinary thieves?" Xu Siyu asked.

Although Changjia County is surrounded by mountains, Xu Siyu has seen many petty thieves over the years, but has never seen any bandits. It seems that the only large-scale one was the rice thief that year.

Lin Yiqing just shook his head at her but didn't say anything.

This is what is difficult to say.

Xu Siyu calmly changed the subject, "Haven't you eaten yet? Come, let's eat together."

After washing her hands, Xu Siyu sent everyone around her to the kitchen to eat their meal. Only Lin Yiqing and she were left at the dining table in the side hall. She looked at him again, waiting for him to understand.

"There's trouble in the capital. We'll just treat it as a summons from the county and stay indoors to rest."
