A peasant girl with a special ability uses herself and two wolves to escape famine!

Before the shop opened, they also had to travel all over the country to spread warmth and earn some money.

"My wife and I will be away for a few days. Please take good care of the house." Jiang Yi said seriously, looking at the respectfully standing butler.

"Is the Marquis going out? When, and how many people are you taking with you? I'll prepare your luggage now."

"No need. My wife and I are traveling light. No one is allowed to divulge this information except you, including the servants in the manor."

Is the Marquis going out to do something important?

But why bring more men when undertaking important tasks, instead of a delicate and frail wife? He didn't understand, he really didn't understand.

"I'm leaving all the affairs and people in the manor to you. Don't let anyone know we've left the city, understand? If they ask, just say we went to the farm to relax these past few days. If they want to visit us, stop them all for me."

The steward nodded vigorously. The Marquis had only told him the truth because he valued and trusted him. "I understand, I will do my best to handle it well."

After dismissing the butler, he asked, "Xiao Ning, how long will this round trip take?"

The old man said that the restaurant and hot pot restaurant could open at the same time in seven days at most, so they should come back before the opening.

"Have the housekeeper tell the master craftsman that the renovations should be put on hold for now, and the opening should be delayed until we return."

"Okay, we'll definitely be back before the New Year."

After giving instructions to the steward, Jiang Yi and Xia Ning quietly left the city in the middle of the night. They also took the wolf with them; only with them could they feel at ease.

She made a fortune delivering goods from nearby to distant locations. Especially in several wealthy areas, there was a great demand for valuable items.

She also discovered that their trade was no longer limited to food; with the cold weather, the demand for quilts, cotton-padded coats, cotton, and charcoal was extremely high. Another segment was medicinal herbs, as there was a surge in typhoid fever cases during the cold season.

These things are extremely expensive in this era, but in her shop, they are incredibly cheap.

When she gets back, we'll introduce twenty new varieties.

Hey!

Upon arriving in the capital, she acquired another batch of the emperor's collection and rare flowers and trees from his imperial garden. There was no other way; many of them in Hangzhou had died. This time, she planned to plant them in her spatial dimension and try propagating them through cuttings. If successful, she could not only freely grow these plants for her own enjoyment but also sell them.

The emperor looked at the imperial garden, which was now half bald again, and felt an overwhelming pang of heartache. Did the immortal love his garden that much? If he continued to pluck it a few more times, his imperial garden would become a wasteland.

Haicheng is the trading city that Jiang Yi dislikes the most. "They can't even be self-sufficient yet. They're so useless. Do they expect us to support them for the rest of their lives?"

"Haicheng has too many mountains and too little farmland, so it's normal for supply to exceed demand."

"Can't they think of a way to prevent us from supplying them and they'll starve to death?" Jiang Yi really thought Zhao Yunpeng was useless.

"How about this, I'll sell them some easy-to-grow crops that can be grown on the mountain and will grow even without any care."

"There are such good things?"

"The potatoes and sweet potatoes you eat are the same thing, they just don't know it. Leave a letter and see what he wants and how much he wants."

"Okay, but once this thing is widely adopted, it will definitely benefit neighboring countries." It's impossible for them not to know, given how close they are; there must be spies around.

"It's alright. Whether it's a natural disaster or war, the people suffer the most. We can accept that, but we can't let fear of choking prevent us from eating."

"You mean, we're going to get horses tomorrow?"

"Yes, we'll get horses and raise them on our farm. That way, we'll have a steady stream of horses to sell. We should also visit a few gem mines; our jewelry shop is short of these raw materials."

"A business with no capital investment, that's great!" Jiang Yi's eyes gleamed with a strange light. "If only we could take over the mine."

“They must be crazy. Besides, I don’t have that ability. I can’t even take a house, let alone a mine.”

“Then let’s come every now and then. You know, all countries are struggling like this right now, why would they dig these things up? They haven’t even opened any shops, and they can’t possibly sell them to other countries.”

"Do you think they're stupid? These things are hard to dig up. They're storing them now, polishing the good ones to send to the higher-ups, and selling the rest when the country is better off. You said it yourself, they're hard to dig up. Take our Great Xia Dynasty, for example, which noble lady doesn't like these things? They're waiting to get rich!"

They wouldn't waste their time; they must have received the news that the natural disasters in the Great Xia Dynasty had eased. From now on, they will be these people's biggest customers.

"Now it's all yours. You'll have to take care of the princes too, or else you'll be left behind."

Xia Ning glanced at him. "Forget it, we've already taken enough last time. Let them save it for a few years. We can't stay here too long. Jiang Yi, I want to go to Nanzhao."

"Why go there? It's full of snakes, insects, rats, and poisonous fruits."

"I just want to grow some poisonous fruits for self-defense. Also, since I was in a hurry last time, I can transplant some of the rare fruits and mushrooms from Nanzhao. Most importantly, I want to explore the palace."

"Stealing from the national treasury?"

"What are you talking about? Go borrow a few books about using poison and antidotes. I'm telling you, there must be some in the palace. It's very mysterious there. See if there's anything that's not meant to be seen."

Jiang Yi disliked the place after visiting it once; it was hot and humid, and he always felt that Nanzhao was very oppressive and eerie. The things sold on the street were all things he had never seen before, and he even saw wriggling insects that they stuffed directly into their mouths.

There were all sorts of wizards and such on the street; in Xiao Ning's words, it was a veritable den of monsters and demons.

They stole from a few wealthy households and then left, mainly because Nanzhao made them feel physically and mentally uncomfortable.

"Don't you dislike that place? Don't force yourself."

"I don't like it, but I have to admit that their country is very different."

The TV series also portrays Nanzhao as a magical country, skilled in using poison and witchcraft.
