After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

Chapter 87 New Supply Source
After moving back from an old and broken home like Xiyuan, Ke Yiqing slept very soundly every day.

The second lady and others who had offended her so badly before were also embarrassed and did not dare to show up with their tails between their legs. They would only say a few nice words when they came to beg for food.

"Although we are not short of her food rations, why does the second lady's face seem to be getting worse and worse?"

Ke Yiqing snorted and said, "Second Master has no food to eat, so he naturally robs her."

Yu Jin nodded and no longer cared.

Speaking of which, although the Hou Mansion relied on her in the last life, the attitude towards her in the two lives was completely different.

She was angry before, but now she is proud.

He didn't remember good things when he was kind to them, but now that he was beaten, he became more obedient.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh. People really like to be mean.

"Madam, the sedan is already waiting outside."

Ke Yiqing raised his head, Li Wei wanted to see her for something?Could it be that there is something going on about Lou Xiangchun?
In order to avoid exposing their identities, the two of them had agreed that when Li Wei came to look for her, he would order a sedan to pick her up. When she looked for Li Wei, she could just go there directly.

The method has been implemented for a long time, and this is the first time that Li Wei has sent a sedan to pick him up.

It seems that something is unusual.

"Let's go."

At Deji Hall, Li Wei had burned warm red charcoal for Laozao and prepared Tangpozi. As soon as she entered, her expression softened.

"Are you looking for me?"

"The brother I was watching before has sent a message."

A thought occurred in her heart, and it turned out to be Lou Xiangchun's business.

"What did they say?"

Li Wei spoke carefully, "Madam, this matter seems to be quite involved."

He didn't dare to say anything else, he just made a sign on the table with water on it.

Ke Yiqing looked at it intently and was very shocked. She took a deep breath, but she still couldn't suppress the panic in her heart, so she couldn't help but get up and pace back and forth.

"Don't continue to investigate this matter. If it is discovered, I'm afraid you and I won't be able to protect it."

"What should we do? Our granary can only last ten days."

what to do?She doesn't know what to do either!
This hard-won news cannot be let go!

Ke Yiqing was so anxious that her mouth was filled with anger. Suddenly, she remembered something, "Li Wei, did the letter I asked you to write to Yan Ming reach?"

Li Wei was also stunned and said that the letter had been delivered a long time ago. He came to see her today and there was also a letter from Master Yan.

She said angrily: "He still wrote a letter back? What did he say in the letter?"

"Madam, Master Yan said that a gap has been opened in the official system."

Opened a gap? !

She beamed with joy, "So, we can go transport food first?"

"It's possible, but Jingnan is still in the flames of war. I'm afraid it's going in but not getting out."

Li Wei's words were like a basin of cold water, which poured cold water on Ke Yiqing's heart.

Yes, she had already lost a lot of her manpower when she was assassinated while out of the city, and she couldn't bear to let these people rush into battle and kill the enemy for her again, she couldn't bear it.

But if you go to an escort agency, you're afraid there are too many people and it's not reliable. After all, they are transporting food that matters to people's lives.

She crossed the waistband in her hand and fell into deep thought for a moment.

Now Deji Hall is in a dilemma. If it continues to sell grain, it will run out of ammunition in less than ten days. If it stops selling grain, the current situation will not be better than in the previous life.

Moreover, the reputation she worked so hard to build will collapse in an instant. This is definitely not what she wants to see.

"Li Wei, I don't want to open a shop for a while, and I don't just want to open it in Shengjing." Li Wei was a little confused, "Madam, I don't understand what you mean."

"I want to hang up the signboard of our Deji Hall throughout Daqi, no, even in the Turks."

Since ancient times, the business has been focused on agriculture but not on business. However, now that it has only been open for a few months, the business is filled with high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Food and medicinal materials are hard currency at all times.

Now she has only grasped a little, and there are such changes. What if she can control most of the world's resources?
By then, she will no longer be a widow who can be bullied by everyone, and all powerful people will bow to her.

Li Wei was impressed by her ambition and understood what Ke Yiqing said when she used him: You will do big things with me, you don't have to stick to trivial matters at the moment.

He looked deeply at the beautiful woman in front of him, and for the first time he felt that the noble person in his life might not be Yan Ming, but her.

"My wife is so talented and ambitious. Li Wei feels inferior to her. From now on, I will only rely on my wife to take care of her. I will have no complaints."

After Ke Yiqing thought about this, he felt a surge of pride in his heart. Who said women are inferior to men?The world couldn't tolerate her, so she carved out her own world!

"Our shop must have food. Take this badge and write a letter to Yan Ming first, asking him to send some people to meet us."

"Madam, weren't you unwilling to use Master Yan before?"

"His people are all experts with real swords and guns. They can be of greatest use on the battlefield. When the time comes to use them, wouldn't it be a pity not to use them anymore?"

Besides, wasn't it because Yan Ming was able to open the gap so quickly this time because of her food and medicinal materials?
As for the rest, let’s wait until this crisis is over.

Yan Ming was closely involved with both the government and the public, and Ke Yiqing really didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.

But she didn't do anything, but people still came to kill her. In this case, why not seek wealth and honor in danger?

If you give it a try, you might be able to find a way to survive.

After deciding on the general direction, all that was left was trivial preparations. Ke Yiqing and Li Wei talked in detail for a long time. Now that she is pregnant, it is not easy to drink tea.

The hot milk that Yujin brought was cold and hot, hot and cold again. When she said that her mouth was dry, the matter was generally settled.

"Madam, I have something to ask your opinion about."

She took a swig of a large glass and then asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."

"Our newly opened charcoal fire shop is currently doing the best business. Many noble people have already asked if the waiters can also bring charcoal fire."

"This……"

Speaking of which, after Li Wei's generous speech when the grain store was besieged last time, those noble people who valued reputation more than their lives no longer sent their servants to grab food from the common people. For a while, the grain store was very in Apple pie order.

There were even some well-known scholars who wrote inscriptions and poems in the shop. Li Wei was thoughtful, well-written, and enlightening, so he framed them and hung them in the hall.

In this way, day after day, the grain store becomes more orderly.

This incident made Ke Yiqing see the benefits of fame, so he asked people to add many noble celebrities to the list of nobles.

With such an operation, being given food by the waiter of Deji Hall, he became a representative of elegant and powerful people, which made people flock to him even more.

I just don’t know which group of people in this distinguished list are the people who asked the waiter to deliver the charcoal this time?

Li Wei answered the question: "No matter what, they all say it will be bad if we don't add more charcoal fire this winter."

Ke Yiqing nodded. She was negligent, thinking that only ordinary people would have to endure such a cold winter, but she forgot that nobles also had their own needs.

Looks like it's time for someone to burn some red charcoal.

But this is also their problem. Nowadays, their charcoal is made by refugees outside the city, and the quality is not very good. However, in this world, the price has not increased, and the people they buy are in urgent need of charcoal, so they have not attracted abuse.

If we rush to make high-quality charcoal like Hongluo Tan now, will we ruin our reputation?
"I asked Li Chang a few days ago, and he said he was recruiting among the refugees, but he also told me not to get my hopes up."

She pondered for a moment and felt that she still couldn't wait blindly. "There should be a lot of charcoal-burning masters in the city, right?"

Li Wei replied: "In reply to my wife, since the opening of our charcoal fire shop, many masters have indeed come to ask questions, but as soon as they heard that they were leaving the city, they all left."

This is true, even in Shengjing, there is no peace now, let alone outside the city where people eat people?

How can this be good?
