A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 689
In the Zhenbei Palace, Liu Qianqian and Meili were sent away, and Changning also had a lot of things to do.

First of all, the Chinese New Year is coming up, and all kinds of New Year's gifts and human relations have to be prepared; there are also various accounts in the business that need to be checked. Although she has left the daily management to her subordinates, the general ledger at the end of the year cannot handle the money matters. Just let go of it, or you won't know it if you get pocketed.

There is also news from Mr. Su that several water surfaces suitable for pearl cultivation have been found. Because the area is relatively large, at least 10,000+ taels of silver should be invested in each place. Mr. Su himself is inexperienced and dare not make decisions. Chang Ning made up his mind.

Chang Ning asked about the situation, thought for a while, and said, "It's cold now, and it's a drought period. We can talk about buying water surface slowly. We'll take a closer look at the situation when the new year is over and the rainy season is over, so as to prevent floods. The important thing is to first Breeding suitable mussel seedlings and cultivating them on a large scale is not something that can be raised just by getting some river mussels."

"What the princess said is that the subordinates will try their best to find experienced people, buy a small water surface first, and cultivate clam seedlings."

Mr. Su bowed to leave, and soon went back to act according to his words.

Raising pearls is really not something that can be successful overnight, but Changning is not in a hurry at all, she has a lot of profitable business in her hands, so it doesn't matter if she earns pearls later.

But Xin Chang'e and Wu Xiucai, who were far away in the suburbs of Beijing, were very anxious.They also built a small pond to raise pearls, wishing to throw the mussels down today and harvest shiny pearls tomorrow.

Regardless of whether the season is suitable or not, the two of them made a lot of river mussels and stuffed all kinds of gravel, stones, iron beads and other things into the mussel shells, hoping to grow pearls.

However, after the stuffed mussels were thrown into the pond, they died within a few days.

"How did he die?" The couple anxiously scratched their heads and couldn't figure out the reason. Wu Xiucai felt that he still hadn't learned the key technology, so he wanted to inquire more carefully.

But Fenghuang Village couldn't find anything.

After much deliberation, he decided to go to the capital to inquire.

Relying on his previous contacts with Xingfu's family, he soon heard that Mr. Su was negotiating a large area of ​​water.

"Hey, this is definitely about raising pearls!"

Wu Xiucai was very excited when he heard it, and thought that the palace raised pearls, and as long as he could pick up some wreckage, he should be able to make a fortune.

Now I don't inquire about breeding methods anymore, I just stare at Mr. Su all day trying to figure out what he is going to do?
Su Gongzi followed Changning's words and planned to cultivate clam seedlings first.He went around to pick and buy river mussels, and after buying them, he organized manpower to pick them again, and only when he picked the right ones, he put them into the pond he had prepared.

Wu Xiucai watched Mr. Su's people dump a bunch of mussels every day, often more than a dozen pots of mussels were brought into the room, and only one pot was brought out and carefully sent to the pond for raising.He wondered if those river mussels had already been cast with pearl cores, and he was really envious and jealous.

Then he thought of a 'good' idea, thinking that since he couldn't make it, why not steal the ready-made river mussels that can produce pearls to raise?

As soon as he said it, he immediately hired two helpers, and the three of them went to steal river mussels late at night.

It was extremely cold in winter, and the night was pitch black. The three of them paddled a boat to touch the mussels in the pond, and fished them up with iron frame nets. They were really shivering from the cold wind.

After tossing around for most of the night and fishing for half of the boat, the three of them felt that it was almost done, so they prepared to go back to the shore.

Unexpectedly, a strong wind suddenly blew up at this time, and the torch on the bow of the boat was extinguished suddenly. The three of them panicked, and they didn't know what was going on in the panic, and the boat capsized all of a sudden.
