Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Chapter 248 Going home to visit relatives

The stall fee was 100 taels per night, and 3,000 taels per month, but that wasn't the main point. The main point was that the flow of people increased, and business at the inns, restaurants, and shops improved. The herbs, vegetables, and baskets grown by the people could be sold, and everyone benefited from it.

Ye Youlan told Qiao Luochuan to arrange more manpower to strengthen patrols, and to crack down on those who cheat on weights and measures and bully others in the market. She also wanted to give more benefits to merchants from other places to encourage them to settle down here.

She thought about it and asked Qiao Luochuan to invite the president of the business company in the fiefdom, as she had something to discuss with them.

Hearing that the princess wanted to see him, the presidents of trading companies from all over the country hurried over in carriages overnight.

Ye Youlan first entertained them warmly and asked the chef from the capital to prepare the meal. Only after they had eaten and drunk their fill did she start talking about business.

She first learned which industries in various businesses were already saturated and could be considered for mergers to make them bigger and stronger. She also encouraged and offered more preferential treatment to new business opportunities that had not been developed.

Also, please report what items are in high production in the fiefdom but are easily unsold, and she will find a way to sell them.

She had contacted Zhang Liang's caravan and asked them to come to the fiefdom every few days to bring in things from outside and take the things from the fiefdom to Lu's stores in various places for sale.

The president of the trading company couldn't contain his excitement, feeling that their chance had come.

Qiao Luochuan sorted out his opinions and made arrangements.

Ye Youlan told Qiao Luochuan that he didn't have to do everything himself, and he could arrange a few capable assistants. Now is the entrepreneurial period, and everything is difficult at the beginning. A large number of talents are needed. Recruit as many as possible, and there will always be a place for them to shine.

Qiao Luochuan nodded. "Princess, I want to open more government schools in various places to encourage poor children to study. In addition to teaching them to read and write, I'll also teach them some basic livelihood skills. Even if they can't take the imperial examinations, at least they can survive with what they learn."

"You arrange it!"

Ye Youlan returned to the inner courtyard, thinking that her daughter should be home from school, so she went to see Yueyue. She saw Yueyue sitting on the swing at the door in a daze, and Ding Yu was coaxing her.

"Why is my little cutie unhappy?"

Yueyue raised her head, her big grape-like eyes blinking, and she said in a baby voice, "The teacher at the academy teaches too simply, the girls are too childish, and one of them is always crying."

Ye Youlan smiled and said, "Yueyue, you are less than two years old. Do you understand everything the teacher taught you?"

Ding Yu explained: "Princess, the little princess is a genius. She can learn what the teacher teaches after listening to it twice."

"Then tell Mr. to add some content to Yueyue every day."

Ye Youlan was impressed that she had given birth to a genius. No, they say a daughter takes after her father. Does that mean her daughter inherited her father's talent?

Damn it, the prince will be proud again if he knows this.

"Yueyue, Mommy will take you to the night market. It's very lively now."

Many years later, Ye Youlan regretted why she had thought of taking Yueyue out to play that day, but ended up accidentally losing the child. It was because when she was buying her candied haws, there were jugglers in front of her, which attracted the child's attention. She broke free from Ding Yu's hand and was lost in the crowd. By the time Ding Yu reacted, the little princess was gone.

The entire city was closed and searched for three days before the little princess was found under the compartment of a carriage. The guards who were searching had sharp hearing and heard a noise under the carriage.

Ye Youlan was in a daze for three days. When she saw her daughter come back, she hugged her daughter and cried. The joy of getting her daughter back and the unimaginable fear were intertwined.

Yueyue wiped her mother's tears: "Mom, Yue'er can protect herself."

"How can a child under two years old like you protect yourself? You are not allowed to go out from now on. You can only stay in the palace. If I take you out, I will tie your hands."

Because of this incident, Ye Youlan was mentally depressed for a while. The doctor came to take her pulse and found out that she was pregnant.

When Yueyue was one and a half years old, Ye Youlan became pregnant with her second child.

She was so angry that she hit the Seventh Prince fiercely: "It's all your fault, it's all your fault."

The Seventh Prince hugged Ye Youlan and said, "This is good news. I haven't slept for several days because of Yueyue's disappearance. Now Yueyue is back and you're pregnant again. It's a double blessing. I'll have an extra meal tonight."

"Go away and drink the northwest wind."

"Madam, please tell me where I can stand to drink the northwest wind?"

Although she was angry and annoyed, Ye Youlan still rewarded everyone in the palace and the chef prepared an extra meal in the evening.

The Seventh Prince quickly wrote a letter to the capital to convey the good news.

"It seems that Youlan is living a happy life. We can have a grandchild next year."

Mrs. Ye was genuinely happy.

The emperor asked the palace servants to select a lot of good things and find someone to deliver them to the fiefdom.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and Ye Youlan, the Seventh Prince and their children spent their first New Year in their fiefdom.

Ye Youlan had the palace decorated beautifully and made it lively, and also invited a troupe of actors to perform in the palace for three days.

"One good thing about coming here is that you don't have to worry about too many etiquettes. You can do whatever you want."

Ye Youlan told Qiao Luochuan that he could go back to his hometown and ask for his house back from his brother and sister-in-law if he wanted.

Qiao Luochuan smiled helplessly. With his current situation, he could not even look down on the yard that was not worth two taels of silver. However, the humiliation of being kicked out by his sister-in-law was still fresh in his mind, so he thought it was okay to take revenge.

So he took five days off and decided to go back.

He went back in a carriage with his guards. When he was almost at the door of his house, he changed into shabby clothes. He wanted to go back alone to see what his brother and sister-in-law's attitude was.

The original yard was not big, but now it was kept very clean and tidy. A big word "Fu" was posted at the gate of the yard, telling Qiao Luochuan that someone was living in the yard now.

He pushed open the gate and walked in, then asked at the door, "Is anyone there?"

Two people walked out of the house. The one with medium build and honest face was Qiao Da, and the fat one coming out with a bowl was Qiao Sao.

"Brother, sister-in-law, you are eating!"

Qiao Luochuan bowed and called out "Brother" and "Sister-in-law". The two of them looked at him with dilated pupils as if they had seen a ghost.

"Luochuan, aren't you an official in the capital? Why do you look like this?"

Just as Qiao Luochuan was about to explain, Mrs. Qiao put the bowl on the shelf nearby and came over to him, yelling, "What a jinx! Why are you running around here on New Year's Day?" Then she turned to Qiao Da and said, "Why don't you kick him out?"

Qiao Da said in embarrassment: "Let my brother have a meal before we go!"

"What to eat? Our family is so poor that we can't even afford to eat. Where can we get him food?"

Qiao Da raised his voice angrily: "Your brother and his family are eating and taking things here, and you don't say a word. But my brother can't even have a hot meal?"

Mrs. Qiao said aggrievedly, "When the situation was most difficult, I went to my brother to borrow rice and food. What did your brother give you?"

Qiao Damu said nothing. He pulled Qiao Luochuan outside the yard and took out five coins from his waist: "Luochuan, I'm sorry, go buy a bowl of noodles outside!"
