Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy

Li Cheng jumped off his horse, took two steps at a time, and went forward to wake Song Sanzhu up.

"Master, wake up, Master, wake up."

Song Sanzhu was dazed. When he heard Li Cheng's voice, he shrank back and muttered, "Ah Cheng, it's a bit cold tonight. Please bring me a bed quilt."

As he said this, he turned over and continued to sleep while hugging the horse's legs.

Li Cheng said helplessly: "Master, the eldest lady is here."

"Ah?" Song Sanzhu shuddered and quickly got up.

He shivered as soon as he woke up. It was so cold in spring and he slept wrapped in a cloak. He was so cold!

Song Jinxiu looked down at her shivering father, suppressed her anger, and asked in surprise, "Why are you sleeping here?"

Song Sanzhu was stunned and finally woke up.

Yes, he is going to southern Xinjiang to look for his eldest son.

But why is my daughter here?

Could it be that my daughter was passing through here on business? She might not even know she was going to southern Xinjiang.

He stammered, "Why am I here? Am I, am I sleepwalking?"

Song Jinxiu's face suddenly darkened. "You said so? Humph! Have you become so capable? You're going to run away from home. If you don't feel comfortable staying in the capital, I'll have someone send you back to your hometown, okay?"

Song Sanzhu suddenly panicked, "I, I'm not going back to my hometown, I just want to find your brother."

Song Jinxiu stared at him. "My brother is fighting in the war, why are you going there? Do you want to distract him from taking care of you?"

Song Sanzhu said with a sad face, "I was scared because your brother was going to the war. I just wanted to be closer to your brother. I thought I had money, so I rented a small yard in the border town. When your brother went to the war, I would wait for him there. When he came back from the war, I could see that his arms and legs were intact, and I could sleep well."

Song Jinxiu looked at him deeply: You are also worried about your son?

This scumbag dad is completely different from before. Has he been stimulated by something?

He is even worse than the heartless idiot he used to be. I can be so cruel as to ignore him.

Song Sanzhu fell ill after being captured by Song Jinxiu and brought back to Beijing. After all, it was chilly spring weather and he was sleeping outdoors. It would be strange if he didn't get sick.

Li Cheng fed him the medicine and asked curiously, "Master, did you leave without your luggage?"

Song Sanzhu said, "I took it, but then I couldn't run anymore, so I threw it away."

Li Cheng asked him again: "Can't you take a carriage? Or ride a good horse?"

Song Sanzhu shook his head and said, "All our carriages have been requisitioned by the court. We only have two old horses left at home, and my daughter needs to ride them to court."

He lowered his voice and said with a smug look on his face, "After all, the horse I'm riding is a military horse. I've seen that it understands human nature and is a good military horse. I'll ride it slowly. By the time we get to southern Xinjiang, the horse's legs will have healed, and it will be just right for my son."

Song Jinxiu listened for a while under the window. This scumbag father, isn't he quite cunning? It's a pity that his brain circuit is not normal.

The pills produced by the pill factory overtime have been sent to the battlefield one after another.

The prices of food and medicinal materials continue to rise, especially the pills of Zaichuntang, the prices of which have increased several times.

Even so, their business is still in short supply, after all, those who can afford pills are not short of money.

Moreover, the prices set by Jindan Pharmacy in the past were already affordable and it occupied most of the market, so even if Zaichuntang wanted to raise the prices, it couldn't.

Now that they are no longer constrained by the Golden Elixir Pharmacy, they have completely let themselves go.

That day, Junjun reported, "Master, the Cui and Li families are stockpiling medicinal herbs. Their warehouses contain large quantities of hemostatic herbs, isatis root, bupleurum root, and Panax notoginseng..."

Song Jinxiu nodded: "Well, don't alert the enemy, just let her stockpile. When she has stockpiled most of it, then you can take action."

Treasure-hunting rat Junjun immediately raised his tail in delight. "Hehe, Master, don't worry. I've got the granary all in mind. When are we going to start?"

Junjun has found out that the rise in grain prices in Mou County and Wei County was caused by the Ji family behind the scenes.

Mou County and Wei County have the highest grain prices.

Since they were so heartless, she requisitioned the food they had stored.

As food prices continue to soar across the country, and now it is a time of famine, the people are living in dire straits and complaining bitterly.

In the court, memorials from all over the country requesting the court to release grain had piled up into a mountain.

Liu Renxiu and all the ministers looked worried.

The Minister of Revenue said, "I have organized merchants to raise funds, but unfortunately the amount is limited. That little grain is just a drop in the bucket for the current situation. If there is no other way, we have no choice but to release the grain to avoid riots."

Minister of War Zhou Kunran said: "Your Majesty, can't you release the grain? Now that the weather has warmed up and the crops in the fields have turned green, the people really have nothing to eat. They can dig wild vegetables and grass roots to fill their stomachs, at least they won't starve to death.

The grain in the treasury is for military reserves. It cannot be touched."

Cangwu’s annual grain reserves are not much, and last year it traded with Beirong and gave away some grain. Now that war has broken out, food is naturally in short supply.

Thinking of this, Zhou Kunran glanced at Song Jinxiu with complaint, "If we hadn't traded with the Northern Rong, we wouldn't be so strapped for cash."

Pingyang Marquis Chenpi quickly impeached Song Jinxiu: "Your Majesty, Lady Song is still young. Her ideas are novel, but they are inevitably biased and she fails to consider the overall situation. She bears half the responsibility for this food shortage. It would be better to demote her as a punishment."

Left Prime Minister Wei Zhen said, "Although the idea was proposed by Lord Xiao Song, the decision was made by all of us together. Didn't you agree at the time? How can you blame her alone?"

The Minister of Revenue said, "Yes, if you want to punish us, punish us all together."

Marquis Pingyang had always disliked Song Jinxiu and had originally wanted to marry her home as the wife of his eldest grandson, but his disappointing grandson refused to agree.

Since I can't marry her home as my granddaughter-in-law, I can't spoil her. I will naturally not miss the opportunity to take advantage of her when she is down.

But he didn't expect that this little girl actually had someone protecting her. He wouldn't let himself be punished for her.

"If you ask me, the trade was a wrong choice. Now that we are suffering from famine, the Beirong people are probably laughing at us. The punishment will naturally be on Lord Song."

Sima Qin also echoed, "Yes, the bishop of Kangle County is good at teaching mathematics, but she talks about opening a trade market, which is like playing house. I'm afraid the gentlemen have been fooled by her."

He had no evidence, but his sixth sense told him that Song Jinxiu had plotted against him.

As for the Sima family, they have been having a very bad time recently. Anyone who has anything to do with Princess Kangle has either been dismissed from office or imprisoned.

He would never believe that Song Jinxiu was not targeting them even if he was beaten to death.

Song Jinxiu couldn't help but sneer, "Tsk, you don't try to solve the problem when you have it, but just keep complaining and shirking responsibility. Lord Chen, you are not only stupid, but also selfish."

Chen Pi's old face flushed, and he pointed at Song Jinxiu and said, "I'm selfish? Is it my fault that the national treasury has no grain now? Find a way to solve it. If there is no grain in the national treasury, can I conjure it up?"

The son-in-law Sima Qin also said: "That's right, could Princess Kangle be able to conjure up food?"

If she could really create food, then the warehouse in the Grand Princess's Mansion might have been emptied by her.
