After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Yu Zizhen, who had returned to her previous life, disguised herself as a man and dressed up as a prodigal second generation ancestor who came from a nouveau riche family in other places and was stupid and wealthy. In line with the character, I bought this family from the old lady for about twice the market price.

Yapo felt that there was no difference between selling the person directly to the stupid son of an out-of-town merchant and her going through all the trouble to send the person to another place for resale. The most important thing was that not only did she not have to spend money on carriages, horses, labor, etc. Fei sent this family out of the capital, and also took the opportunity to make a fortune, which was perfect.

Yu Zizhen, who was regarded as her biggest loser, was also very satisfied, because she knew that the family would soon be able to help her earn back the little money she spent.

As for the other family, they were originally local merchants in the capital who inherited their ancestors' business and specialized in brewing. Although their family could not be said to be rich and powerful, they were able to make a living by relying on a few brewing recipes left by their ancestors. Be wealthy and live a dignified life.

However, no matter how great the ancestral foundation is, it can't offset the family's unworthy descendants. In order to pay off the gambling debts of his only son, the third son of the family secretly sold the secret brewing recipe left by his ancestors.

After the Dong Chuang incident happened, the old man in the family was so angry that the eldest and second brother separated from his third brother in anger. However, their little nephew, who was a bad gambler, did not let them go just because of the separation.

After he had squandered all the little property he had received from his family, he pestered his eldest uncle, second uncle and a group of cousins, begging and threatening them to help him pay off his gambling debts.

Of course, the two families did not agree, so the desperate gambler, with the rogue intention that I would not be able to live well with you, lit up the family's winery and the shop in front of the winery one night.

The waiters who stayed at the winery and shop that night were burned, and one of them even had his leg broken by a falling piece of wood. The waiters' families could not find the rotten gambler who had fled, although the rotten gambler's parents could be found. But they all have a scoundrel attitude of "I'll give you my life if you want money," so everyone has no choice but to go to the guy's employer to claim compensation.

Those two families were quite responsible. Not only did they cover all the money for the boy's medical treatment, they also paid him his wages for lost work on a monthly basis.

After the two guys recovered from their injuries, they even paid each other a large amount of money as compensation for their disfigurement, despite the noise from each other's family.

Yes, although the injuries of the two guys have healed, with the current medical level, the scars on their bodies and faces will never be removed.

This amount of money is not small, but compared with the liquidated damages they have to pay to the cooperative merchants, this amount of money is not worth mentioning at all.

Those who placed orders at their winery and even paid deposits had to pay compensation one by one according to the contract.

As a result, both families were devastated. Not only were their savings emptied out, but the mansions and shops they had purchased in the past few years were also forced to be sold. Even the private money, box-pressed silver, and gold and silver jewelry belonging to their female relatives were also sold. They all took them out and gave them to the men for emergency use.

After hearing the whole story recounted by the system, Yu Zizhen was moved by the character of the two families and decided to bring them under his command and let them help him run the wine business.

She has money, uh, well, the corrupt officials she targets have money, and she can get it at any time.

She also has recipes for making wine. As long as she is willing to exchange points for them, the system can provide her with at least [-] kinds of wine recipes.

With a little effort, she could actually have people make high-quality wines and various fruit wines that were not available in this era.

Brewing, flavoring, paper making, and salt making are the pillar industries that she will use to make huge profits in the future. If it weren't for the system in hand, these skills could be exchanged casually as long as they had points. Even if Yu Zizhen exchanged ten more cores, she would not dream of competing with the wealthy families such as Zhenbei Palace and Jingguo Palace for control of the world. Governance rights.

After hurriedly settling the two families in the small courtyard she had rented for a long time, Yu Zizhen took the new mooncakes she asked Madam Zhang to make to the palace for the banquet.

The palace banquet is set at noon, so that everyone can go back to their homes to enjoy the moon with their families in the evening.

Just like the palace banquet during the Dragon Boat Festival, in addition to various delicacies, Xiao Lu also arranged for actors to perform songs and dances.

What was different from the Dragon Boat Festival was that after all the actors had left the stage, she actually asked the emperor's concubines and the young men and girls from various families to perform their talents on the stage.

Half of the emperor's concubines were eager to try, and the other half were not interested. The part that was eager to try had ambitions to become the queen mother, and the part that was not interested just wanted to be a peaceful ornament in the harem.

The young masters and girls from each family were basically all in a lack of interest. If the Lu family were not so powerful, most of them would have to cheer for the little Lu family. In fact, they hoped that the emperor, the queen mother, and the empress could leave as soon as possible. .

They wanted to go and throw pots, guess coins, enjoy flowers, and gossip with their friends after these three people left. Isn't that more interesting than performing some doggy talent?

Yu Zizhen had the same idea as them, and with her status, she didn't need to sacrifice her precious time to warm up the little Lu family, so she sat firmly and didn't move.

She showed the mooncakes she brought to Xiao Yuanjin and others.

The popular mooncakes nowadays are Beijing-style, so Yu Zizhen asked Madam Zhang to prepare Cantonese-style and Soviet-style mooncakes.

In addition, the variety of fillings for the mooncakes she brought was much richer than the mooncakes in the palace, and the taste was much more delicious.

Several people gathered together, chatting quietly while tasting moon cakes.

Yes, this time Yu Zizhen showed great mercy and distributed the mooncakes she brought to Chen Hushan and others.

Perhaps it was because the atmosphere here was so harmonious and relaxed that the young men and girls who were forced to perform on stage were somewhat dissatisfied with them. After they tasted a round of mooncakes, Wan Jingrong's sister took the lead in showing up. Several people made trouble.

She stood up with a smile, raised her voice and said to Yu Zizhen: "I heard that the prince of Zhenbei is a rare martial arts genius. It is rare that everyone is gathered together now. Why don't you show him something to open our eyes?"

Yu Zizhen raised his eyelids and saw her standing next to Wan Jingrong, and immediately guessed that she must be a female member of the Wan family.

She replied coldly, "The reason your vision is narrow is because your eyes are small and you have little knowledge. In your situation, it is useless just to watch me show off my martial arts. If you really want to improve your vision quickly, I suggest Just go and open your eyes."
