Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Wang was shocked. He didn't know that this thing could not be eaten directly without being processed. However, thinking about how happy Brother Lu looked when he came back yesterday and how he reported that there were no casualties in Qinjia Village, he thought there must be no big problem.

He could only answer truthfully: "According to the report from my subordinates, there were no casualties in Qinjia Village."

"Oh? That's quite amazing." The Governor touched his chin and asked inquiringly, "Where I last served, there was a large amount of salt produced. Every year, people illegally mined it and it caused food poisoning. Sometimes, a family of more than a dozen people would become idiots after eating it, and in serious cases, even die. People who didn't know how to properly handle it couldn't use it directly. This greatly reduced the sale of private salt. Later, the method of handling the salt lake spread, and the court also increased its control over the sale of private salt, so there has been no problem..."

"But it's a good thing there were no casualties. Since the salt lake was discovered in Qinjia Village, the land near the lake will definitely be returned to the imperial court... But don't worry, we will provide appropriate compensation for taking the Qinjia Village land. I will inspect the surrounding terrain before making any rewards."

The butler beside him tactfully handed over a topographic map of the entire Yuzhou.

In that era, the land was vast and the population was sparse. The villages were far apart, mostly wasteland and hills. It took about half an hour to walk to the nearest village.

The governor casually pointed at the map and said, "Then the 200 mu of land near the salt lake will be reallocated to Qinjia Village."

The people in Qinjia Village were unaware of what County Magistrate Wang and the Governor were discussing.

On this day, Yun Zhenzhen's wool workshop resumed operation.

The wool in the warehouse has not been used up yet, and there is still a small half left. After the snow melts completely, Qin Li can continue to go north to buy wool and see if there are any other business opportunities.

Wool blankets are not only used to keep warm in winter, but can also be made into summer quilts and cloaks in summer. Wool has a soft texture, and the things made from it are very popular among wealthy ladies.

Thinking that she might expand the factory and do other businesses in the future, Yun Zhenzhen decided to hire ten more workers to practice first.

As soon as the news spread, everyone in the village was scrambling to sign up. Everyone knew that the woolen workshop had good benefits. Not only did they give out money during festivals, but they also gave out gifts. It was a stable job, and everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie.

As usual, this matter was left to Old Lady Qin to take charge. Everyone knew that Old Lady Qin was impartial and impartial. In terms of friendship, she was a Ruyi's mother-in-law and no one could make things difficult for her. In terms of seniority, she was also considered to be of a relatively older generation in the village. Basically, the aunts in the village had to call her "Sister Qin" when they saw her.

After the intensive screening by Old Lady Qin, the final number of places was finally determined.

In addition to the original people from Qinjia Village, new people were also selected.

This is a young mother who took her teenage child with her to escape famine. She was able to protect both of them well during such a long journey, which shows her ability.

Of course, Old Lady Qin also asked her to demonstrate her embroidery skills on the spot. The stitches of southern embroidery are different from those in the north. They are tighter and more delicate, which makes people dazzled.

When the villagers saw that she was selected, they all looked at her with envy.

"Oh my god, good days are coming for Madam Qi and her daughter. Working in a woolen workshop, the benefits are so good, they will definitely never have to worry about food and clothing in the future."

"She can earn so much money every month, and she gets bonuses every now and then. Given her ability, she might even get some extra copper coins. If she saves a little more money every month, her family will definitely be better off."

"Hey, these newcomers from Qinjia Village can all be selected to work, but our old acquaintances can't be selected. It seems that our skills are not good enough. We need to work hard to let Old Lady Qin see our abilities."

"Indeed..."

Hearing the envious words coming from all around, Madam Qi's inexplicably shy expression suddenly turned into pride, and she even straightened her back unconsciously as she walked.

That’s great! I finally found a job that can support myself.

The other newcomers to Qinjia Village also fully realized that Qinjia Village was slowly accommodating each of them. As long as they were willing to work hard and were diligent and brave, they would definitely be able to carve out a place for themselves here...

The day.

Yun Zhenzhen took the boss and Ning Shan to Taiyin County to deliver the goods.

All the goods were piled up in the twelfth month of last year, ready to be delivered in the spring. This time there were more things, so many that they filled two ox carts, and we also borrowed another one from the village.

After arriving in Taiyin County and delivering the goods, the family felt obviously much more relaxed.

It was still early, so they planned to stroll around Taiyin County to see how the types of shops here differed from those in Yunding County. Moreover, they had been trapped in the village for more than half a month and were almost getting moldy. Now that they had finally gotten out, they definitely had to take a good stroll around.

Taiyin County is very lively, and people from all over the country gather here. Because it is close to the pier, there are more seafood and other things sold here than in Yunding County.

Yun Zhenzhen bought an exquisite little knife for Old Man Qin, which was specially used for carpentry. The knife he was using now was rusty and old, and it was time to replace it with a new one. It was not expensive, and you could buy a brand new one for two hundred coins. It looked super solid.

When passing by a jewelry store, I bought a silver hairpin for Old Lady Qin. Although old ladies in the village usually don't wear this, it's worth buying this thing. It can be used as a decoration on a normal day, and when times are tough, it can be sold for money. It can be considered an investment.

Qin Shouren and Qin Shouyi bought a pair of shoes for each of them. The shoes of the two grown men were full of holes, but they still patched them up and continued to wear them.

Jiang and Chen each bought a beautiful ready-made suit. They couldn't wear it to work on weekdays, but it was just right to wear when visiting relatives, and it was considered a decent set of clothes.

As for the children at home, I bought each of them a bag of local specialty snacks, which were easy to entertain.

Then she brought two grown men into the embroidery workshop.

Now the wool workshop is growing stronger and stronger. In addition to the wool business, she also wants to develop other things. The first one is needlework. She wants to try ready-made clothes, but the idea is not mature yet. She plans to buy some embroidery thread and take it back to the aunts in the workshop to try.

But when she saw the hundreds of colors of embroidery threads in front of her, her head was completely confused. There were dozens of red colors in front of her, but she couldn't tell the difference between them. In the end, she could only buy some of each.

Then I bought some cloth and sewing tools to complete the things at home. I was going on a long trip with great difficulty, so I bought as much as I could.
