Dress up as a hot farm wife, take care of her cubs and raise her husband to farm

Chapter 408
"What kind of gift? Tell me." Cheng Xue was also very interested.

Li Hui tilted his head and leaned against her neck, deliberately placing all his weight on her.

"Xiao Song said that all the food and property in the village will be handled by me and will not be reported to the police. This is what the palace means as well."

"All...all for you?!" Cheng Xue was so shocked that she stuttered.

She didn't know exactly how much property there was in the village, but she knew how much food there was.

So much food goes to the Beijing government office... Now the people don't have to go hungry, at least they don't have to wait for relief food.

Such a vivid expression made Li Hui feel happy. He kissed her forehead and said:
"Silly girl, these things originally belonged to the state capital, but they were just looting and hoarding them and helping to store them. Now I am here to return them to their original owners. It is only natural and right."

"That's true, but if they don't give it to you, there's nothing you can do about it."

"That's true."

Cheng Xue secretly pinched herself. The pain was clear, and it was not a dream.

"What are you going to do with this batch of grain? Let me tell you, the grain in the village is getting old. If Coach Xiao hadn't taken action to suppress the bandits in time this time, and it would have been delayed for another three to five years, it's still unclear who will own it. .”

Li Hui nodded without denying it, leaned against the fire wall and said:

"That's why the imperial court sent me, a novice with no roots and no foundation. In addition, Xiao Song is his brother-in-law. The entire iron mine is controlled by his own people, and the people who work on the mountain are managed by me. Outsiders want to know that there is no way. Maybe, I won't interfere. As for these grains, I will take them to various county offices and distribute them, so that the people can survive the winter safely."

Let’s get through this year first, and then we can think about things like farming and political achievements in the coming spring.

Seeing him changing the topic, Cheng Xue corrected herself and reminded:

"According to what you said...the palace already knew there was a problem here? You also knew?"

"I don't know, who can tell me!" Li Hui laughed at himself, "I just guessed it myself. I guess the palace knew about it, otherwise Xiao Song wouldn't have been allowed to bring the black iron ball over and cut through the mess quickly. "

"That means that that person has secured his position and established his foundation." Cheng Xue murmured softly.

If there is no absolute certainty, who would dare to change the border city guard coach easily, and also replace the border city's parent officials together.

Seeing his "cowardly" expression, Cheng Xue shook her head in amusement and said:
"When you go out this time, take Dexi and the others with you. I have Bai Wei and Baizhu, which are enough. By the way, take Wen Tian, ​​Li Heng, and Yi Xin with you. The children will have to go through this when they grow up."

"Sure, I'll listen to you. I'll settle here tomorrow and set off early the day after tomorrow. When are you planning to return to Fucheng?"

"Go back tomorrow."

She had been out for more than ten days. Logically speaking, she should have entertained those ladies after settling down in the northern city, but she really didn't like it so she ignored them.If I don't go back, I'm afraid those people will have to say something, so it's better to stay out of the limelight.

Just as he was thinking about it, Bai Wei and Bai Shu pushed open the door and came in, holding steaming meals in their hands.

"Madam, the eldest young lady and the eldest young master won't come over to eat, and Master Wen can't explain it."

"Okay, you guys go down and eat too. Pack your things after eating. We'll set off back to Fucheng tomorrow."

"Good lady."

After the two of them finished speaking, they bowed and left.Li Hui serves the rice and she serves the soup.

After dinner, seeing that he had nothing to do, he took the initiative to take him out for a look.

It was a bit cloudy in the east. Li Hui saw it and said worriedly:
"You'll be able to leave tomorrow if you're tired enough."

"There's nothing God can do about it. At worst, we can be together the day after tomorrow." Cheng Xue smiled quietly.

It's just that the direction is different.

"Daughter-in-law, look over there, are they quarreling?" Cheng Xue looked in the direction of his finger, but she didn't expect it to be Du Qi's daughter-in-law Zeng and Wei Lian's daughter-in-law Ge.

How did these two get together?
When Bai Guo inquired about the news, he said that there were three factions. The person who had to give in to Du Qi was Wei Lian.She has also seen clearly these days that Wei Lian is not stupid, but his behavior is not as honest and down-to-earth as Du Qi's.

Emma, ​​please don't fight between these two.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xue quickened her pace and walked over, but as the distance gradually shortened, she was no longer in a hurry.

The two women did not argue, but discussed making tofu together.

In Liaodong, every village with more than 200 villages will have a tofu shop.

Li Hui listened for a long time, glanced at Cheng Xue, then turned and left.

"Since you two have this idea, let's do it together."

Guan's face became hot when she heard this, and she said bravely:
"Mrs. Li is really joking. We have just been able to fill our stomachs. How dare we open a tofu shop?"

"Yes, Mrs. Li, we...we don't have any money either." Ge Shi added.

There are not many edible vegetables in winter. Although they were given winter cabbage, frozen eggplants, and frozen radishes, they would still not be rich if they wanted to eat these things until next spring.What's more, if you keep eating these things, you will get tired of them even if you have no pursuit in life.

This is not dissatisfaction, but human nature.

It was a bit windy, Cheng Xue didn't want to waste time, and went straight to the point——

"That's it. If the government can lend you a sum of money, but you need to pay more interest every month, will you be happy?"

"A loan shark?" Gemini exclaimed in surprise.

Guan didn't even try to stop her, so she could only apologize to Cheng Xue with an ugly look on her face.

Compared with the expressions of the two of them who were facing a formidable enemy, Cheng Xue smiled and waved her hands in a relaxed manner.

"It won't be called usury, but it will be a little more. For example, if I lend you 20 taels of silver to open a tofu shop, you will need to pay back [-] taels of silver every month for ten years."

Daughters-in-law who are very careful about their calculations are quick to settle their accounts. After calculating like this...

Ge was still hesitating, but Guan was a little moved.

"Mrs. Li, what if we can't pay back the money after borrowing this money?"

Looking at Guan who was eager to try, Cheng Xue replied with a smile:

"If you still can't do it, the government will send someone to take over the tofu shop and continue to make tofu and sell it for money. But I believe you should be able to do it. After all, you have done a very good job in dealing with the bandits. Let alone the tofu shop. Don’t make a decision in a hurry, go back and discuss it with your men. Mr. Li won’t be leaving tomorrow, so if you have any ideas, go to him.”

"Yes, thank you Mrs. Li."

Cheng Xue touched the stone mill in front of her and said with a smile:

"This thing is good. You can use it directly after washing it. It saves money."

The two of them had this idea precisely because of this square stone mill.

After the two watched Cheng Xue leave, Ge Shi said worriedly:

"Seventh sister-in-law, are you really going to borrow money from the government to open a tofu shop?"

"I have this idea." Guan answered bluntly, "When the work on the mountain starts, we will definitely have to provide food at noon. By then, our tofu shop will be the only place to deliver food."
