Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Ye Heng, Guo Guo, and their family of seven arrived at the space. As soon as Huang Bao entered, he stripped off his clothes and went to play in the water. Ye Heng and Guo Guo watched the four little ones. They sat down beside him. Ye Heng brought tea, "Guo Guo, have some water? Do you want some fruit?" Guo Guo looked at the fruit trees, which were once again laden with fruit. "A durian." "Okay," he said, picking up a durian with scissors. Ye Heng went to get a plate to put it on. Guo Guo said, "Plant some more fruit trees." Ye Heng immediately went to work: bananas, lychees, mangoes, and pineapples. He planted more than ten of each type. Guo Guo looked at the land in the space. The crops were growing well. The space was almost overflowing with grain. Guo Guo called out, "Xiao Shunzi, harvest the crops and plow the fields." "Yes, Master." Guo Guo didn't buy sacks this time, remembering that she had some linen at home, so she could process it herself. She'd buy less this time, just enough. With one hundred and twenty acres of land, she could grow a lot of grain every year, earning a lot of money just from selling the grain. That's why Guo Guo always sold the grain cheaply, benefiting the people and Dayan.

Xiao Shunzi harvested the crops on the red soil in a short while. Guoguo looked at it and saw another large pile of grain ready to be put in the shop to sell tomorrow. Yeheng also saw it and said, "There is really a lot of grain. I wonder if people all over the world can have enough to eat?" Guoguo said, "It won't be long before every family will have surplus grain. When the road is repaired, we can go to various places to sell it. I can make money even if it is cheap." "Well, Guoguo, let's buy a truck." "Okay, I'll take a look and buy it right away." Guoguo used his mental power to check the current situation. If there is a good truck, he can pay the money and the truck will appear in the space by just scattering the money with his hands. Guoguo said excitedly, "Let's go and have a look." He also bought a truck made of waterproof rain cloth and canvas. Yeheng went to look at the car, "I like it very much. Guoguo, teach me tomorrow." Guoguo said, "I'll teach you now and drive it on the grassland." Guoguo got in the car and said humorously, "Don't worry about hitting people, just drive it wherever you want." Ye Heng got in the car, watched Guo Guo drive, and told him to step on the accelerator, press the clutch, steer the wheel, and reverse. "It's very simple, you just have to be skilled. Don't hit anyone, or they'll kill you." Ye Heng took the wheel himself, eager to learn. When he learned to drive, he hit a cow and killed it, but later didn't hit any other animals. He was very proficient. Ye Heng said, "Let's get a few more people to learn tomorrow." "That's easy to learn." "It's not like there are so many modern cars." Ye Heng was very happy. Guo Guo continued, "Men all love cars." Ye Heng said, "I love horses too. They're both a means of transportation."

Huangbao had had enough fun and came to find Yeheng, asking for a ride. Guoguo and her son sat in the car. After a few turns, Yeheng stopped driving, worried about the child. Guoguo said, "The car needs oil. We can't do without it." They bought several large barrels of oil, including gasoline and diesel. They also kept plastic bottles and other supplies, everything they needed.

The whole family can sleep in the space after playing enough, with plenty of time. They can get a good sleep and have a good quality sleep.

Ye Heng woke up early and cooked a meal for the family in his space. There was braised pork elbow and rib soup, millet porridge, and egg custard. He waited until the children were fed and the adults had finished their meals before leaving the space.

Ye Heng said to Guo Guo, "I'm going to the palace today and bringing our salt to the Emperor to see. Guo Guo, what percentage of profit do we want?" "My family wants 10%, which is plenty. Master Zhang, Sun Gui, my grandfather, and the others will share. I want 20%, for the two of us. The Emperor wants 70%, is that okay with you?" "Okay. After paying the workers' wages, the profits will be divided like this. Let the local government build the road, and the local government will pay for the workers. I'm leaving now."

Ye Heng took a horse-drawn carriage today, loaded with half a bag of salt, having left some at home. Guo Guo also loaded a few boxes of fruit, rice, and flour. "Our food is delicious." Ye Heng had nothing else to say, "Okay. I'm leaving." "Let's go." The family stayed at the Chai Mansion again.

Butler Ye was running back and forth, shaking his head and smiling. Guo Guo: "Uncle Ye, please prepare two larger carriages." The butler said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Guoguo went to the warehouse to take out some food, vegetables, and eggs. There weren't many. There was a carriage. The housekeeper arrived a moment later. "Uncle Ye, have someone load these things up. I'm going to deliver them to the shop."

The two large carriages were packed to the brim. Guoguo, holding her son, sat in the other carriage, followed behind with Qin. Old Mrs. Li, Li Ru, was at home watching over the four little ones.

Arriving at the shop, Zhang Baohua was there. She opened the back door, let the carriage in, and had the guards unload the grain into the warehouse. Guoguo sent them back, leaving behind herself. She also unloaded a few baskets of eggs into the warehouse. "Auntie, please open another room." "Okay." Qin carried Huangbao to the office.

Zhang Baohua and Guoguo were there, with Zhang Baohua guarding the door. Guoguo was putting things in there—daily necessities. When it was full, she called Zhang Baohua in, "Auntie, take a look." Guoguo took out a sanitary napkin, told her to use it during her period, and showed her how to use it. "This is so useful. Sell it to a wealthy family." Guoguo said, "Two taels of silver per bag." Zhang Baohua asked, "Is it expensive?" Guoguo smiled and said, "It's not much. Scarcity makes things valuable." Zhang Baohua gritted her teeth and said, "Okay." Zhang Baohua looked at the room full of things and thought she could make a lot of money. Guoguo added, "I also bought them with my own money, so we can make a profit from the difference." "Auntie knows." "I didn't let Auntie calculate the cost. We divided the money we earned equally. I don't care. As long as everyone has money to spend, we are a family. It's okay for Auntie to know about this. Don't tell anyone else." "Well, I know. I knew it a long time ago. I put the goods on the shelves. I know how much they are. I consider a lot of things that require payment as earnings." Guoguo added, "Don't calculate the cost in the future. Just share it all with the family." "Okay, Auntie understands." All of it was given by Guoguo to the family. "Aunt, it's enough for the two of us to know. A few days ago, our new grandfather, Grandpa Dong, opened a salt field in the northwest of our village. I still have 20% of the profits. I plan to let Second Uncle learn how to run a business from the housekeeper. Soon we will become a business empire. Apart from the emperor, our family is the richest." Zhang Baohua was so happy that she didn't know how to describe it. "I understand. Guoguo, go to the office. I have saved all the money I earned in the past six months in silver notes and give them to you." Guoguo said, "Let me see." Zhang Baohua took out the key, opened the drawer and smiled, and handed it to Guoguo. Guoguo checked it out. "It's not a small amount!" "Yes." "Divide it. One share for great-grandfather. One share for grandma and grandpa, and one share for the four of us." Zhang Baohua said, "Plus your share." "I don't want it. Give it to my parents. That's six shares." Zhang Baohua said, "This time, it's as you said. Next time, it won't work. You must be counted as one." "Okay, you." "It's not a small amount. Each family will get 100,000 taels of silver. You keep the change." Guoguo said, "You take your share. I'll take the other five cents back to grandma so she can give it to the others." Zhang Baohua: "Okay."

Guoguo sat for a while and then went to the front to take a look. "Qin, let's go home." Zhang Baohua saw Guoguo out, closed the back door, and locked it from the inside. Then she went to the warehouse to pick up and load the goods.

Guoguo thought that the accounts weren't so clear, as we were all family. She couldn't afford to give outsiders any advantage. No, Guoguo wouldn't let outsiders have an easy life either. She didn't make extra money from anything she did, so the common people could afford it and have food to eat and clothes to wear. Guoguo had taken in orphans over the years, and there were thousands of beggars. She gave whatever food she could to those who couldn't afford it, so she couldn't let them starve to death. Otherwise, she'd find them work.

The guard drove the carriage, and Guoguo said, "Let's go to my grandma's house."

At the Li Mansion, Ma Xiaohong opened the door and let Guoguo in by carriage. "Guoguo, why are you here to see Grandma?" Guoguo smiled. "I've got some free time now, and I missed Grandma and Grandpa." Ma Xiaohong was also happy. "Okay. Xiaoqian, bring some tea and some snacks. Guoguo is here." Zuo Xiaoqian said, "Okay, I'll be right there." "Grandma, let's go to your storeroom. Guoguo brought you some things." Ma Xiaohong understood. "Okay, let's go." There was a large house in the backyard. Ma Xiaohong unlocked it and opened the door. "I'll go in, Grandma, you can watch outside." "Okay." Guoguo took out ten bags of white flour, ten bags of yellow flour, ten bags of rice, a bag of millet, vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, and fruit. Half the house was filled.

"Grandma, come in." Ma Xiaohong saw, "So many!" "Well, after you finish eating, just tell them that you can sell the ones you grow and eat the ones I grow." "Okay, that's too many eggs." "You eat two every day. Everyone in the family can eat them. I have too many chickens. Grandma, please lock the door when you're ready." Guoguo said again, "Forget it, let's just stay here." Guoguo took out a large pot of spiritual spring water and said, "Grandma, you can drink this water every day. Don't wash your hands and eat it all." "Okay, I'll listen to you. Grandma is blessed to listen to you." "Yes, grandma. Guoguo is a lucky treasure." "Yes, my Guoguo is a lucky treasure." This made Guoguo laugh.

Zuo Xiaoqian prepared tea and snacks in the living room and said, "Guoguo, have some tea. It's been a long time since I last saw you." "My brother Ye and I went back to our hometown. I also visited grandma's house. Everything is fine. There are people taking care of them." Ma Xiaohong said, "I'm used to living here. Grandma and your grandpa don't want to go back. They want to be with your uncle and you. Grandma can't bear to leave you." Guoguo said, "Just live here. We are close and have someone to help us." Zuo Xiaoqian also said, "Yes. Here I can also visit my mother and brother. It's not so convenient to go back to my hometown." Guoguo went on to say, "We have a house and property here, so we live here. Uncle Dong's woodworking factory makes a lot of money and can fully support the whole family." Xiaoqian said happily, "Yes, I'm very content. Aunt Guoguo is pregnant again." "Good, it's a blessing for my uncle. When I was at home, my grandma and grandpa were very worried. "I was saying, 'Uncle is talented, educated, and good-looking. He's not in need of a wife, so we have to choose the right one.'" Ma Xiaohong was also happy. "Yes, my family has found a good wife." "Grandma is the biggest winner in life. Look at the sons and daughters she gave birth to. Which one is not doing well?" Ma Xiaohong thought for a moment and said, "Yes." Guoguo added, "It shows that grandma and grandpa are good people. They have good character and good looks! Beautiful people with good hearts will be rewarded." "The grandma that Guoguo is talking about has become a flower." "Aunt is also beautiful, uncle is also beautiful, and look at Xiaotong, he will be a handsome man in the future."

It was almost noon when Guoguo went home. "I'm not going to eat anymore. There are four little ones at home." "Grandma won't keep you here. I'll go see you." "Okay. Don't come out while your aunt is at home." "Okay, Guoguo, take care."

Guoguo got on the carriage, said goodbye to her grandmother, and returned to the Chai Mansion just in time for lunch.
