Reborn Wangjia's little koi, reclaiming wasteland and farming to become the richest man

Chapter 99
The white snowflake silver, stacked neatly, is placed in huge boxes one by one, and there are bank notes, stacks of silver tickets, stacked on top of the snowflake silver.

These boxes couldn't fit in Sheng Jiaojiao's room, so they were placed in the rooms of each room.

The Qi family was afraid that so much money would be missed by thieves. The men in each house could only sleep on the money box.

With so much money left in the Qi family, the Qi family naturally wanted to ask about the reason, and Sheng Jiaojiao told the truth that she was in charge of the battalion commanders of Dongying and Xiying.

In this transaction, there are no her eldest brother and Ji Lang, only the battalion commanders of Dongying and Xiying, because she borrowed the money used by the two battalions to distribute pensions to the soldiers.

She also said that both the imperial capital and Zhishou County are unreliable, and the most reliable person is herself, so she has to use the money to do business, let money make money, and Dongying and Xiying support themselves.

The courageous ones can cover the sky.

The Qi family, who had never done this kind of business before, could only sigh and did not blame Sheng Jiaojiao. Anyway, the matter had come to this point, and the whole family was going to be beheaded together.

Well, at least one family is neat and tidy, and there will be no one missing.

Fortunately, Qi Ming's caregiver, Lu Tao, soon came to the door and began to take money from outside.

To collect food and stockpile medicinal materials, they have to take money out every day, and the white snowflake silver is being consumed at an astonishing speed.

Sheng Jiaojiao entrusted Qi Ming in advance, such a large amount of grain, it is not safe to store it anywhere, if the grain and medicine are collected, they will be transported directly to the South Camp in Jishang for storage.

There is no need to transport it to Qi's house.

The battalion commander of the South Camp is Bai Tao, Qi Ming's uncle, Qi Ming is in the South Camp, just like at home.

It's too easy for Qi Ming, who is as clever as a ghost, to hide something in the South Camp without alarming Bai Tao.

Moreover, the south camp and the north camp are at Jishang. Under the premise of continuous conscription, a total of seven or eight thousand soldiers are stationed at Jishang to protect the three nobles in the abandoned East Palace!
If you want to protect the harvested food and medicinal materials, seven or eight thousand soldiers will guard them so that not even a fly can get close.

What's more, Qi Ming is also cunning. In addition to preparing a place to store grain in the South Camp, he also found several large warehouses in Jishang, and arranged for his soldiers to guard them.

Because of his meritorious service in beheading the subordinates many times, under the support of his uncle Bai Tao, Qi Ming quickly rose from a small captain to a large captain, leading a hundred soldiers under his command.

Guarding a few warehouses is enough.

And in the process, Sheng Jiaojiao used the capital of the Qi family's dealers, through Qi Ming's trustee Lu Tao, and contacted several shopkeepers to help, and began to buy cheap grain in Tiaoma Lake, causing the grain market to become tight.

Many fellow peddlers saw the business opportunity and had a premonition that the price of food in Tiaoma Lake was about to rise?
There are even some quick-moving ones who have already set off from Zhishou County with their skins, and started to buy grain elsewhere, preparing to stockpile it in their hands and transport it to Tiaoma Lake for sale.
Sheng Jiaojiao was so busy that she had completely forgotten about the three nobles in the abandoned East Palace.

The first snow fell in Zhishou County, Yin Ze stood on the porch, watching the servants in the yard dig up the dead trees.

He had clear eyebrows and plain clothes, which couldn't stop his noble aura.

Holding an umbrella, Chao Lai hurried over in the snow, and came in front of Yin Ze. When he saw Yin Ze like this, he sighed, put away the umbrella, and cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty."

"What's the news outside?"

Yin Ze's brows and eyes were a little cold, and now his face, which was somewhat noble, now showed a mature and unpredictable meaning.

He seemed to have gone through a long journey, and his mind became much calmer in this short period of time.

Chao Lai knows that this is a good thing, and those who have achieved great things in the past must think more and worry more than others.

But Yin Ze's mind is even more difficult to guess.

Chao Lai told Yin Ze the news that more than 1000 soldiers had been recruited from the two northern and southern barracks recently, and sighed:

"Now the state's actions are getting bigger and bigger. If we don't return to the imperial capital, the situation will become more and more dangerous."

Yin Ze, who was standing sideways, lowered his eyes, and after a long time, he asked:

"Tan Ji, what's the news?"

In fact, deep in Yin Ze's heart, he has been secretly looking forward to news about Sheng Jiaojiao.

He thought that at the last autumn banquet, he would see Sheng Jiaojiao, who was famous for jumping the horse lake. He waited at the mansion for a day, and the last news came that Sheng Jiaojiao had gone to the north of the county to spend the night.

She rejected any opportunity to serve nobles, a girl who has not left the court, so self-loving, even though Tan Ji is her future husband, but he has not even Na Cai, Sheng Jiaojiao can go to the north of the county to spend the night.

It can only be blamed on the fact that the people of Zhishou County are too tough, and the children of Zhishou County are too open.

Since then, no one around Yin Ze has ever mentioned the matter of letting Sheng Jiaojiao into the house.

Whether it's by the side of the deposed prince or by Yin Ze's side, there is no need for an unclean woman to serve him.

Yin Ze's feelings about this are very complicated, including anger, disappointment, betrayal, and heartache. However, such complicated feelings are like looking at flowers in the fog or looking at the moon in the water. If you can't see clearly, it can be completely ignored when it makes him busy.

In other words, Yin Ze still doesn't know what Sheng Jiaojiao means to him.

Perhaps it was just because of his anger towards Tan Ji, or maybe Yin Ze had a little fear of Tan Ji from now on.

Chao Lai replied wholeheartedly:

"Battalion Commander Tan's barracks has been filled with [-] soldiers. There have been several great victories in the past few days. The reputation of Battalion Commander Tan is getting higher and higher."

No matter how much news there is, Chao Lai can no longer hear it.

Firstly, it was because of the limited manpower in the East Palace, and secondly, the four barracks in Jumping Horse Lake had strict military discipline, so it was difficult to get news.

They have tried their best to arrange people to infiltrate the military camp in Zhishou County, but fighting is not a child's play, it is not in the court of the imperial capital, sending spies to political enemies.

That is to go to the battlefield with real swords and guns to fight desperately, infiltrate ten people into the barracks, and survive in the end, how many of them can control the military power?

The abandoned East Palace was relegated to Tiaoma Lake, Zhishou County, and lived in Jishang. Two barracks had been wasted, with a total of more than 7000 soldiers guarding it, which meant that there were more than 7000 fewer soldiers to confront the subordinate countries.

Although Qin Wa and Bai Tao were polite every time they saw the people in the abandoned East Palace, did they really have any objections?

Therefore, Chao Lai wanted to inquire about any news about the Tiao Ma Lake military camp, but there were many obstacles, and what he knew was very limited.

Yin Ze remained silent, standing with his hands behind his back, twirling a string of Buddhist beads with his fingers.

A maid came over with a tray in her hand, and squatted not far away,
"Your Highness, this is the dessert made by the Princess, let the slaves bring it to His Highness to taste."

The one who came was Princess Huimin's girl.

The unfathomable emotion in Yin Ze's heart was replaced by another sense of boredom that he could not fathom. He turned his head and looked at the maid squatting a few meters away, pursing his lips tightly, his eyes full of haze.

So far, Yin Ze has not yet consummated his marriage with his Yuan wife, Princess Huimin.

In the beginning, it was because the mansion was attacked by the vassals, resulting in countless casualties, but later Yin Ze deliberately ignored it.

In recent days, Princess Huimin has sent people to deliver food to Yin Ze more and more frequently. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Princess Huimin is getting anxious.

But the more anxious she acted, the more Yin Ze resisted this woman in his heart, and even, now that he couldn't control it, he felt disgusted with the people sent by Hui Min.

Chao Lai slightly bowed his body and leaned forward, whispering:
"Your Highness, the overall situation is the most important thing. If it is passed back to the imperial capital, I'm afraid someone will join your Highness again. After all, this marriage was bestowed by the emperor."

Although Princess Huimin was of no help to Yin Ze, the marriage between her and Yin Ze was bestowed by the emperor after all.

If Yin Ze doesn't get married for a long time and falls to someone with a heart, it will become that Yin Ze is dissatisfied with this marriage and dissatisfied with the emperor!
A man can bend and stretch, how could he lose his sacred heart for such a trivial matter?
The snow was getting bigger and bigger, and it fell from the eaves to the ground one after another. Soon, the ground was covered with a thin layer of fine snow.

Yin Ze closed his eyes and squeezed the beads tightly with his fingers. How could he not know what Chao Lai meant.

He was just waiting for a person, a woman who didn't know her name, didn't know her appearance, and didn't know when she would come to him and become his equal wife.

It seemed that only when this woman appeared would his life return to the normal track.

And if this woman doesn't show up for a day, Yin Ze will feel out of control that everything is off track.

"Your Highness, we can't delay any longer."

The voice from the nest sounded respectfully again, but it was imperceptible, implying a touch of urging.

Yin Ze took a deep breath, opened his eyes again, looked at the maid who was kneeling on the ground, his voice was cold,
"Take it back."

The servant girl responded, and was about to leave in disappointment when she heard Yin Ze's soft voice,

"I'm going to eat in the princess's room tonight."

The meaning of these words. The maidservant squatted down hastily with joy on her face, and happily replied, "Yes".

It is to retreat quickly and leave, and let Princess Huimin prepare for the consummation of the house.

Another night of heavy snowfall, the entire long and narrow Zhishou County is dotted on the map of Daze like a white line.

Gathering in the noble man's mansion, red lanterns are hung up, the wedding room is decorated with candles, the people are more beautiful than flowers, the night cries are melodious, and the brocade quilt is full of spring lights all night.
In the early morning of the next day, a series of firecrackers suddenly sounded outside the courtyard of Qi's family. The red firecracker papers fell on the fine snow that had been floating all night, like Yin Hong's petals fell to the ground.

The children of Huangtu Village gathered around Tan Xiaojian who was holding a bamboo pole in his hand, laughing and waiting for Tan Xiaojian to light the string of red firecrackers hanging on the bamboo pole again.

Miss Qi pushed open Sheng Jiaojiao's room door anxiously, dragged Sheng Jiaojiao who was still asleep on the bed out of the warm blanket, and said:
"Get up quickly, Tan Dalang is here to accept."

Sheng Jiaojiao sat up in shock, opened her eyes hastily, and asked:
"So fast?"

"You're confused, you forgot such an important thing?!"

Miss Qi was so angry that Tan Ji took this play seriously, and even Na Cai's day was an auspicious day to ask someone to say hello, and he sent someone to inform the Qi family a few days earlier.

Sheng Jiaojiao and Mrs. Qi Er were busy looking for food and medicinal materials from the shopkeeper every day, so they managed to forget such an important matter.

Seeing Sheng Jiaojiao getting up in a hurry, Miss Qi really felt ashamed of Tan Ji.

She looked at Sheng Jiaojiao with a look of resentment, and finally planned to leave her alone and only go out to entertain people from the Tan family.

This time, the Tan family did Na Cai to give the Qi family a good face. The pair of live geese were very airy, not to mention the customary etiquette that Na Cai should have, they were all prepared, and they were all well prepared.

Not only did Tan Ji come to give gifts in person, he also invited the head of Huangguo Village, and even went to Qi Zhang's camp in person, and called Tan Xiaojian home. The two brothers, together with Mrs. Tan, Mr. Tan, and the whole family They were all dispatched to deliver gifts.

The formality made the Qi family wish they could simply make the fake come true.

Tan Ji sat in the main room with the head of Huangguo Village and Uncle Tan, talking to Mrs. Qi and the three masters of the Qi family. Qi Rong followed Tan Xiaojian and stood outside the yard of the Qi family to sprinkle sugar for the children.

Knowing that there will be sweets to eat today, many children from Huangguo Village also followed the Nacai team from the next village to Huangshi Village.

The three ladies of the Qi family were busy entertaining Mrs. Tan and her party, and a group of ladies crowded into the kitchen to prepare a banquet.

The whole Qi family suddenly boiled.

Because Tan Ji wanted to go home to collect food, it was impossible for the two battalion commanders in the north of the county to leave all at once, so Qi Zhang could only stay in the north of the county, and Qi Ming could only be in charge of the family lord.

Qi Ming also came back from the fair early in the morning, dressed in a brand new suit, wandering around the main room of Qi's family, very busy.

Tan Ji was sitting on a chair, looking down to listen to the chatting and laughing of the men in the main room. Because the village chiefs of Huangguo Village had come, the village chiefs of Huangtu Village were also invited by Qi Ming. Naturally, the village chiefs of Huangshi Village could not After falling, the three village chiefs sat in the main room of Qi's house and chatted.

While chatting, I heard the head of Huangguo Village say:
"I heard that Jiao Niang intends to place the private school in Huangtu Village?"

Because of the private school, the village head of Huangguo village, along with all the orphans and widows in the village, came to Tan Ji.

Later, I don’t know how Tan Ji negotiated with Sheng Jiaojiao, and it was decided that Sheng Jiaojiao would host it, and Tan Ji would fully fund it, so that the children of Huangguo Village and Huangshi Village would be exempted from going to school.

The head of Huangtu Village twisted his beard and said modestly:
"This is still in the process of negotiation, and many details have not yet been finalized. If we really want to break ground, I'm afraid it will be spring."

Now that Tan Ji has some money, it is not difficult to set up a private school in Huangguo Village, but there are only a few students, and even fewer capable militiamen.

The private school was built in Huangtu Village, there were many militiamen, and there were many people watching. If the vassals really wanted to make trouble, there would be people from the militia to protect these children.

Therefore, although Tan Ji paid for the construction of the private school, Sheng Jiaojiao preferred the address of the private school, and put it in Huangtu Village.

Sheng Jiaojiao will also be in charge of the private school in the future, and Tan Ji is busy fighting, so he won't have this leisure time.

The village head of Huangguo Village nodded but said nothing.

Because compared to Huangtu Village, Huangguo Village is really poor, and most people only have widows and old people left in their homes. Therefore, it is naturally not as impressive as Huangtu Village.
