Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

The two drove to the Tianjin villa and drove directly to the garage. They entered the light gate from inside and went directly to their ancient bedroom. This time, it was also midnight here. Ye Heng took Guo Guo's hand and walked out the door. There were guards standing guard outside. Seeing Ye Heng, they saluted, "Hello, Your Highness!"

Ye Heng nodded and said, "Go to the palace and find the housekeeper." "Yes." The guard turned and left. In the middle of the night, haha, no matter when or where, if the prince has something to do, he must go and do it immediately. Ye Heng and Guo Guo sat down in the hall. A maid had already brought tea and snacks. Guo Guo: "You go back and rest, it's none of your business." "Yes, Princess. I'll take my leave!"

Ye Heng never cares about women.

Soon, Ye Kang, the housekeeper of the Ye Mansion, arrived and knelt down as soon as he entered the door and said, "Prince, Princess, what do you want?" Ye Heng: "Go and check all the property of the prince's manor and report to me." The housekeeper: "It is in my hands now, but it is kept in the prince's mansion. I will go back and get it now." Ye Heng nodded and said, "Okay."

Guoguo: "My farm has some too, haha, but not as much as yours." Ye Heng looked at Guoguo and said, "What's mine is yours. I just didn't let you manage it because I was afraid you would get into trouble." "I know. I was just kidding!"

Ye Heng looked at Guo Guo affectionately and said, "Guo Guo, the child doesn't need us to watch over him all the time. You can spare time to do other things. It's time for you to take over the palace's account books." Guo Guo chuckled and said, "Let's wait a few years. Besides, I'm still confident in your people." Ye Heng thought about it and said, "But I'm worried. I can't take care of these things!" He looked at Guo Guo helplessly. Guo Guo chuckled at the look and said, "Okay, next year, next spring! I'll check it out." Ye Heng agreed.

Ye Heng continued, "My businesses are spread all over Da Yan, in every prefecture. In the past, I was always busy with state affairs, and in recent years, I've been busy taking care of the children. "Ah!" Guo Guo took Ye Heng's hand and said, "Brother Ye, you've worked hard! Don't worry, I'll help you manage those things from now on so you don't have to worry." Ye Heng looked at Guo Guo and nodded, "Yeah." Guo Guo couldn't stand the doting look in his eyes. Haha, he sat up straight and looked towards the door.

The steward had brought all the shop and land, including the proceeds, in a carriage, along with several men carrying boxes. Ye Heng saw that they were bringing all the account books.

Haha! "Yekang, tell me, let me hear how much can you come up with now?" Yekang had never seen anyone report to the prince in person before, and he was panicking, not knowing where to begin.

The housekeeper panicked, and coupled with Ye Heng's inherent majesty, he was so frightened that he didn't know what to say first. Guoguo spoke up, "You are the son of Housekeeper Ye, right?" Ye Kang: "Yes, Princess, I am the eldest son." Guoguo smiled and said, "Let me ask you a few questions, you answer." "Okay, Princess." "How much food is there in the palace now?" "Food?" He laughed, "There is a lot of food. The prince asked me to store all the food, except for some food. About 500,000 dan of corn, and 1 million dan of wheat." Ye Heng said from the side, "One dan is 100 jin." Guoguo: "Well, I know." Ye Kang continued, "Soybeans, 50 dan. There are also sorghum, dried vegetables, etc., a lot too." "Okay. How many pigs, cattle and sheep are there?" Ye Kang: "Hehe, this, hehe, we raise them ourselves, and some are sent from all over the place. In addition to the food, we have 100 cows, 500 sheep, and 1,000 pigs. They are all raised in the farm. They haven't been sent from all over this year. These are all saved in the past." "Not bad, you have a good memory, work hard. I am optimistic about you!" "Yes, thank you for your trust, my Lord and Princess. I will do my best to do my best."

Ye Heng: "How is your father's health?" Ye Kang: "My father is in good health, but he is old and can't walk. Usually, he just hangs around the palace and manages the affairs of the palace. I manage the affairs outside and run errands." "Well, learn from your father! When you encounter problems, ask your father more often and see how to deal with them!" "Yes, I remember that." "Go, leave this thing here and come back to take it away another day." "Okay." Ye Kang knelt down and kowtowed, and left.

Guoguo: "Let's get some sleep together. We have things to do tomorrow." "I wonder if these animals are enough?" "No problem. Let's go back to our hometown. Also, have you forgotten that I have nine mountains in the capital?" Ye Heng smiled, "Okay, rest."

Guoguo brought all the account books to the space and planned to look at them in her spare time.

Huangbao came in and saw his parents. Guoguo cooked a meal for her son and let Huangbao eat his fill before leaving.

Ye Heng noticed Huangbao was a bit tall. He went to pick a handful of lotus seeds and gave them to his son. Guoguo took out a bag and put them in, saying, "Just one a day." Huangbao: "I know, Mom, Dad. I'm going out now." Ye Heng: "Okay, go ahead." Guoguo warned, "If you're giving them to Grandpa and Grandma, you can only have one a year." "I know, Mom." Huangbao slipped out. Guoguo smiled. "I thought Huangbao was a child." "Huangbao is a child. Let's go get some rest." Ye Heng said, then picked up Guoguo and went back to his bedroom—the Jade Room—to sleep. [10,000 words omitted here.]

After they had a good sleep and a good meal, they went out together. They rode in a carriage out of the capital and toured the Nine Mountains.

The place is managed by Xiao Shunzi, who was Ye Heng's servant and later followed Guoguo. Xiao Shunzi greeted Guoguo and the prince, "I am very happy to see the master coming." Guoguo: "Are you doing well?" "Good, good." He whispered, "The granaries on our mountain are almost full." "How many granaries are there?" Xiao Shunzi stretched out his hand, "Haha, eight big granaries!" "Okay, remember to dry them in the summer when it's hot." "Haha, no need, dry them when loading them into the cabin. Put them into the jars at noon and seal them tightly. The mud is well pasted, so it's okay.

"Our granary has cement floors and walls, so it's very dry." "Okay, just take care of it. How many people have we taken in from the mountain?" Xiao Shunzi laughed and said, "Our mountain is no longer a barren mountain, it's a treasure mountain. The population, regardless of gender, age, or youth, is 3,000, not counting the people from the academy." "Oh." So many? That's fine.

Xiao Shunzi told Guoguo, "The elderly who can move are willing to farm. Those who can't move are taken care of by their families and live a good life. There is water in the mountains, and we grow food and vegetables. Even in the grass nests, there are radishes, turnips, and herbs.

Master, don't worry." "Okay, remember to eat well. Xiao Shunzi, you are not young anymore, have you married yet?" Xiao Shunzi chuckled, touched his head and said, "I am just waiting for the master to make the decision." "Okay. Where is the girl?" "She lives in our mountain, an orphan, with good character and knows how to work, hehe." "Okay, go find her and I will show her to you." Xiao Shunzi ran away. After a while, he ran back, followed by a thin girl. Guoguo saw that she was too young, so he asked, "What's your name and how old are you?" The little girl was scared and hid behind Xiao Shunzi. Xiao Shunzi pushed the girl to the front, knelt down and said, "Master, this is the girl I was talking about." When the girl saw Xiao Shunzi kneeling, she knelt down too.

Ye Heng looked at the little girl and glared at Xiao Shunzi. Xiao Shunzi lowered his head in fear. Guo Guo continued to ask, "What's your name, how old are you, and who else is at home?"

The girl kowtowed first, and Xiao Shunzi said beside her, "Xiao Cui, tell the princess your name." "Yes. My name is Wang Xiao Cui. I'm seventeen years old. My parents abandoned me because there's nothing to eat at home." The girl lowered her head, tears streaming down her face. Guoguo: "Just because there's nothing to eat, your parents don't want you. Why don't they sell you? They can get money for you."

Xiao Cui: "I was too thin and weak, no one wanted me, I was almost dead." "How did you get here?" "I followed a kind-hearted person here." Xiao Shunzi: "Princess, I know. A neighbor brought her here. He said she was still alive, just very hungry. We were looking for workers at the time, so she came here with the old man and the old woman."

Guoguo: "Xiao Shunzi, as long as you are willing, it's fine. But now that we are a family, you must be good to the girl and not beat or scold her." "I know, haha, you and the prince are very good, and I am happy too. I also want to be like you, only have one girl in my life and treat her well." "Okay. From now on, let her live here with you, or let her live in the capital?" "Stay here with me. I work here, and I don't feel at ease if she is alone at home. Besides, she has to work here too."

After listening to Xiao Shunzi's words, Guoguo felt that Xiao Shunzi was not a bad person and had not lost his mind. "Okay, if you want to go back, I will give you a house to live in, but you have to help me find someone who can do the job to replace you." Xiao Shunzi said seriously, "Master, I will work here until I die and will not leave. I will follow you until I die." Guoguo laughed, "You are too polite. Fine, it's up to you. If you want to go back, you can still live in our house. When you can't work anymore, I will take care of you in your old age." Xiao Shunzi chuckled, "How can I be so embarrassed? I'll just serve you, Master."

Ye Heng: "Xiao Shunzi, go check how many pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese there are here?" Xiao Shunzi: "I know. I remember them all." Guoguo: "Oh, tell me." Xiao Shunzi said seriously, "There are 569 pigs now, and 10 of them are pregnant." Guoguo: "That's a lot of pigs!"

Xiao Shunzi chuckled, "That's right, there's no shortage of food in the mountains. There are so many sheep running all over the mountains, there are thousands of sheep. There aren't many cows, only about twenty-five, enough for pulling carts and plowing the fields." Guoguo: Oh. Xiao Shunzi: "We have chickens and ducks, but no geese. Every household raises chickens and ducks." "Okay, I see. Go and do your work. I have a task for you, help me collect chickens and ducks. Five cents per pound." Xiao Shunzi: "Such a high price!" "Yeah. I'll take as many as you can!" "Okay, it's cold and they won't grow meat anymore, so it's a good time to sell them and raise them again next year." "Go ahead." Xiao Shunzi happily took the girl's hand and ran away.

Ye Heng and Guo Guo were walking around the top of the mountain, checking the situation! ... Guo Guo saw a large area of ​​winter wheat and smiled, saying, "It's okay to grow wheat on the flat land in the mountains, as long as there is water." "Yes, with water, people can grow crops, and people can live well." "Yeah. But the grass is big. It seems we have to pay attention to insects in spring." "Are there insects in the soil?" "Yeah. When the crops are good, there will be insects. We have to pay attention, especially locusts." "What do you mean?" "Have you heard of a locust plague?" Ye Heng shook his head. "A locust plague can be fatal. After the locust plague, the land will be desolate and there will be no grass left."

Ye Heng, upon hearing this, took it very seriously. "What can we do?" he asked. "Every household should raise more chickens, ducks, and geese. They'll eat the insects in the fields in the spring, which will reduce the insect plague." "When I get home, I'll notify the Ministry of Revenue and the Emperor, and let them take care of it."

The two talked. Time passed quickly, and when it was almost dark, they left and sent a message to Xiao Shunzi, asking him to send the collected chickens and ducks to Chai's house.

The two of them returned home in a carriage.

Jiaxing and Zhang Baohua had returned, and the family was having dinner in the main hall. Guoguo asked, "Second uncle, second aunt, are you the only two here?" Jiaxing replied, "Your father is in the military camp, and your mother went with him. She's back on her day off. Your third aunt went back to her hometown." Jiaxing continued, "My eldest brother and his family have all gone home, too. Huanhuan and his wife took a long vacation and are gone."

Guoguo: "It's okay, we'll go back in a day or two. Uncle, see if there's anything you want to take with you." Zhang Baohua

After thinking for a while, he said, "Guoguo, my second aunt has been in Beijing for many years and wants to go back to see her parents. Do you think you can take me with you?" "Sure. Let's ask Mr. Qin to see who wants to go back together?" Jiaxing: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll go ask."

After dinner, Zhang Baohua went back to her room to pack things for her parents and her younger brother. She hadn't paid much attention to her mother's family over the years. Her mother had been busy and hadn't caused her any trouble. It was time to take care of her mother's family.

Ye Heng changed his clothes and rode to the palace. Then he returned to the palace to check the incoming mail. He finally came across the letter from He Shouyi he had been waiting for. Starting from the capital, his first stop was Hengchang Prefecture. The letter stated, "This prefect, Wang Rui, is honest and upright. The people live a stable life. None of the officials in this prefecture are extremely evil. While there are cases of corruption, the amount of money embezzled is not significant. Overall, things are going well. Next, he will inspect the county magistrates and the people under his jurisdiction. This prefecture has over fifty counties. He inspected two county magistrates. They were good. When the people were hungry, they had food to eat. When they were cold, they had clothes to wear. The county magistrates took care of the poorest families. He inspected both county magistrates. The county magistrates were young and promising, good. However, in some places, the county magistrates and county magistrates were acting in a manner that harmed the people. He has reported these to the emperor and awaits his decision." Ye Heng checked the date. It had only been a few days. He replied, "Come here." Guards: "Your Highness, what are your orders?" "Call the chief guard." "Yes, Your Highness."

The chief of the guards in the palace, Dahua came in, "Your Highness!" Ye Heng: "Take this letter, take a few men, and go help Lord He!" Dahua: "Okay, My Lord." "Also, assist He Shouyi in handling official business. During this time, you guys should also protect Lord He." "Okay, My Lord." "Go to the palace to get some money, bring food, clothes and other necessary things, and take care of yourself." Dahua: "Yes. Thank you, Your Highness. I'll go right away." "Well, notify me if there is anything." "Okay, Master." "Go ahead. Go on horseback." "Yes, Your Highness." Ye Heng looked at a few more letters, approved them all, and asked his subordinates to send them out.

Ye Heng saw that the matter was settled, changed his clothes, put on a mask, and rode away on horseback.

He went to the Dark Night Pavilion to deal with some matters and did not return to the mansion until midnight. Guoguo took him to the space and asked, "Why did you come back so late?" Ye Heng looked at Guoguo and felt very sad. He would soon leave Guoguo and felt that he had not given Guoguo a stable home.

A deep voice called out, "Guoguo." Ye Heng hugged Guoguo tightly, burying his head in Guoguo's shoulder. Guoguo also hugged Ye Heng's waist, stroking his back with her hands, "If you have anything, just tell me. I'm fine."

Ye Heng raised his head, sat down and said, "I went to the Dark Night Pavilion tonight. It is a killer organization and also an intelligence organization that operates multiple projects. I saw tonight that there was unrest on the border of the Great Yan Kingdom. It seems that troops will have to be dispatched soon." Looking at Guo Guo, he slowly said, "I might go!" "I will go too. You know, I have practiced martial arts and my medical skills are not low." Ye Heng nodded and said, "I know, but our children, if we both leave, they will be sad and worried." "Well, I will come back to see them often."

"The intelligence from the Dark Night Pavilion is quite accurate. I will go to the court tomorrow morning and ask my brother to prepare. This time, it's not just one country that has problems. Martyrdom, Daliang, Qilian Kingdom, and East China Sea, all have unusual movements. I have to go there in person to feel at ease." "Yes. Find all our killers and bring them with us." "I will arrange for the intelligence organization to investigate further. The army will also arrange for investigations. You don't have to worry about these things. The only thing you have to worry about is the weapons." "Well, don't we have a batch of machine guns? We can organize them into a team." "Yes. Yes, and there are plenty of bullets." "Buy a few more sniper rifles with long range."

"Well, I'll have to ask my son to buy it!" Ye Heng said with a chuckle. "I don't know when Huang Bao learned hacking and even contacted important people." "Haha, the ability is innate, but my son also learned it." Yes. Guo Guo said with a smile.

Ye Heng knew what was going on, and the two of them went to sleep. Ye Heng was indeed deeply concerned for the Great Yan Nation. He also worried about food and meat for the Modern Army... Perhaps this was the case of those who are capable doing more work.
