After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

"Oh, it turns out you're a distinguished guest from the capital!" Zhao Guoliang said with some emotion, "It's not easy for a woman like Hu Lan to be out there. I hope you can help me."

"Don't worry, we will." Emperor Yongxing asked, "Are you the head of this village?"

Zhao Guoliang nodded, "Yes."

"What's your last name, father-in-law?"

"No need to worry about your surname being Zhao."

Emperor Yongxing said, "Zhao Lizheng, it seems that everyone in your village likes Zhang Hulan."

"How could I not like her? Hulan has done us all a favor, and everyone in the village is grateful for her kindness." Zhao Guoliang said, "If it weren't for Hulan leading us in finding water and food during the severe drought two years ago, countless people in the village would have died.

Now she is helping everyone make money, and the lives of every household are completely different from before.

I was thinking of talking to the county magistrate about giving Hu Lan the position of village head so she could lead everyone to a good life, but who knew she would be kept in the capital by the emperor as an official."

Emperor Yongxing laughed and said, "Your Majesty has snatched the person away. How angry will my father-in-law be with you?"

Zhao Guoliang waved his hands quickly, "That's impossible. The fact that the emperor can look after Hu Lan is also because Hu Lan has real ability. We are all happy for Hu Lan.

Although we all want Hu Lan to stay in the village, we can't be too selfish, right?

If Hu Lan goes to the capital to serve as an official, he will definitely be able to help more people.

Our village is already doing pretty well, and we should make life better for more people.

Well, I won't chat with you distinguished guests anymore. I'm going to go see Hu Lan."

After Zhao Guoliang finished speaking, he bowed to Emperor Yongxing and the others, then left in a hurry.

Emperor Yongxing and his entourage did not stay long, and then returned to the fish pond, and then returned to the Wang family's new residence with Marquis Wang and his entourage.

Zhang Hulan also went to the Wang family to have dinner. She wanted to go home to take a shower and take a nap, but villagers kept coming to see her, so she had to chat with them while yawning, and gave the gifts she brought to several families with whom she had good relations.

In the evening, after dinner.

Zhang Hujun handed the basic account book to Zhang Hulan, which showed the income from the farm, the winery and various other sources this year.

Zhang Hulan just glanced at it casually and put the account book away.

Li handed Zhang Hulan a box containing banknotes and silver.

Although she no longer has the braised meat business, Zhang Hulan has made a lot of money this year.

After deducting all expenses, Zhang Hulan still had over 100,000 taels of silver left.

The profit from wine alone was more than 80,000 taels. The cost of soap was higher than that of wine, and the price was lower, so the profit was only 20,000 taels. The other income from the farm was several hundred taels.

Zhang Hulan accepted the banknote and said to Zhang Hujun, "Brother, some people may come to learn how to make wine from you after the New Year. You should teach them well then."

Zhang Hujun asked, "Sister, are you planning to build a winemaking workshop somewhere else?"

Zhang Hulan said, "I present this winemaking recipe to the emperor."

When the Zhang family heard that the wine-making recipe had been presented to the emperor, they were all surprised and felt a little sad.

This is very profitable. Almost all the money earned this year came from brewing wine and making soap. The other income from the farm is only a few hundred taels.

But they didn't say anything about the decision made by Zhang Hulan, and since it was given to the emperor, they couldn't take it back.

Seeing everyone's distressed expressions, Zhang Hulan said, "Actually, I'm not at a disadvantage either. The Emperor left me 20% of the shares.

Moreover, we will build workshops in many places in the future, and our business will be much bigger than it is now, so overall, I am not at a disadvantage.

Also, this wine is so profitable that I might not be able to keep it myself. I've found a strong partner for myself, and no one will dare to take over my business in the future."

After hearing what Zhang Hulan said, everyone felt that it made sense.

Old Man Zhang nodded and said, "Hu Lan has thought it through. Too much silver isn't necessarily a good thing. If someone gets jealous, they'll definitely cause trouble. Now we can proceed with confidence. Who would dare to take advantage of the Emperor's business?"

Zhang Hulan then said with a smile, "Father, Mother, Big Brother and Sister-in-law, I have something else to tell you. I have arranged a marriage for Xiaojun in the capital."

Everyone's eyes widened, especially Li.

"Big sister, is that girl very nice?"

Zhang Hulan smiled and nodded, "Yes, sister-in-law, that girl is a very good child.

The girl is one year younger than Xiaojun. Her father is also an official and works under me.

Besides, this girl is also an official, and she usually helps me with my work."

"Really? That's great." Wang couldn't stop smiling.

Old Man Zhang and Mrs. Wang were both very happy. Once Zhang Xiaojun got married, the Zhang family would soon have a fourth generation.

Both Old Man Zhang and Mrs. Wang hope to see the day when four generations of their Zhang family live together.

Zhang Hulan added, "Xiaojun has met the girl and her family, and everyone is very satisfied. So after the New Year, you must go to the capital with me to propose marriage."

Li said, "But your elder brother can't leave."

Zhang Hulan thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll have my parents go to Beijing with me after the New Year to propose marriage, and my eldest brother and sister-in-law will stay home to help me manage the business."

Old Man Zhang immediately agreed, "That's fine. We can go to the capital again."

It was getting late, so Wang urged Old Man Zhang and the others to go home quickly so that Zhang Hulan could have a good rest.

The next day, Emperor Yongxing first went to Ziyang to see Taoist Master Wang Xuanzhen.

He came this time because he wanted to ask Taoist Master Xuanzhen something.

Dao, Daoxu and Zhang Xinyue were all together, and they all wanted to pay their respects to the master.

As a result, when the group arrived at the foot of the mountain, there was a young Taoist priest waiting there.

The young Taoist priest saw Emperor Yongxing and his entourage arrive, and he also saw Dao and his entourage, so he stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Excuse me, is it the Emperor himself?"

Daohe stepped forward and said, "Brother, this is none other than my father."

The young Taoist priest bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, my master is not here. He has gone on a journey. Before he left, he told me to wait here today."

The Taoist priest took out a letter and handed it to Emperor Yongxing, "Your Majesty, this is what Master left for you."

Yongxing immediately took the letter and opened it. There were only four words on it: "Good luck and good fortune."

Emperor Yongxing smiled. He came this time just to ask whether Daohe and Zhang Xinyue were suitable for marriage.

Emperor Yongxing admired Taoist Master Xuanzhen from the bottom of his heart. He could even predict when Taoist Master Xuanzhen would come to find him and what questions he wanted to ask him.

Emperor Yongxing then looked down at Zhang Xinyue. He had previously suspected Taoist Xuanzhen's intention of accepting Zhang Xinyue as his disciple.

Considering Taoist Xuanzhen's ability, he would definitely not accept disciples casually.

Since Taoist Xuanzhen was not there, Emperor Yongxing and his men went back shortly afterwards.

In the next few days, Emperor Yongxing and his entourage wandered around the village every day.

Watch the villagers make vermicelli, visit their homes, and go to the farmland to see the crops.

Emperor Yongxing did not let Zhang Hulan accompany them, and asked her to stay at home and spend time with her parents.

Zhang Hulan gave the potato, tomato and bitter melon seeds she brought back to Zhang Hujun these days, asking him to plant them when the weather gets warmer after the New Year.

The specific planting time and precautions were clearly explained and written down on paper.
