The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 388 The Hardworking Cui Da ([-])

Naturally, Cui Youbo didn't write to Xiao Nan to tell Xiao Nan about these situations, but the twenty armor guards who followed him to Puzhou used kites to spread the news.

For Cui Youbo's obvious brain twitching behavior, Xiao Nan only thought it was ridiculous, and of course there was a faint sadness, but no matter what, she would not take the initiative to mention him, let alone help.

She had the right to read the news sent from Puzhou every day as a joke.

Today's Xiao Nan has finally survived the most difficult period of morning sickness. He has a surprisingly good appetite. He eats four or five meals a day, which is two or three times the usual amount, and there is no shortage of fruits or anything.

When it comes to fruits, Xiao Nan is extremely grateful that she has created a strange island in the East China Sea ahead of time, allowing her to eat all kinds of off-season or tropical fresh fruits in the cold winter.

Especially after Dongcang Island has been reclaimed and the fruits and grains planted have officially started to be harvested, a large amount of fruits and vegetables will be continuously transported into the capital through Wuli's hands every three to five days.

As for Xiao Nan, he could use this as an excuse to quietly take out the fruits from the Taoyuan and mix them into those East Sea fruits and vegetables for her and the children to eat.

Of course, the palace would occasionally reward some Xiaonanshan fruits, but Xiao Nan sent all of them to Rongkangju in the name of 'filial piety' to the old man.

The opening of the two small islands in the East China Sea not only facilitated Xiao Nan's appetite, but more importantly, brought her a huge amount of wealth.

It is said that the end of the year is approaching, the shops and farms under the name of the Cui family are all settling their surpluses for the year, and the shops in Xiao Nan's hands are also undergoing year-end inventory.These are businesses that are on the bright side. As for the profits from Taicang and Dongcang Islands, they are profits that cannot be seen for the time being.

A few days ago Xiao Yi reported the general ledger of the two islands to Xiao Nan, and she was shocked to find that the profits from this shady business almost exceeded her entire net worth.

But after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Nan also understood that the livelihood on the two islands is basically a costless business, there are modern machinery for reclaiming wasteland, and biochemical personnel such as Xiao Yi for field management. After a whole set of procedures, it basically costs nothing. capital.

Xiao Nan likes this kind of business with no capital but huge profits, but it's a pity that it can't last for too long.

Because those modern machines consume energy, when she traded with Xiaoqi back then, she didn't think about opening up deserted islands on a large scale, so she didn't buy much energy.

Xiao Yi reminded yesterday that there is not much diesel and so on. If we want to continue to use those large machines, we need to add new energy sources.

Supplementary energy?

To put it bluntly, this is Datang, she is a weak woman who does not major in science and engineering, how can she play the industrial revolution.

Well, since there is no alternative energy source, Xiao Nan thinks it's better to go back to the original. She told Xiao Yi that the next time he comes to trade on land, he should go to the human market to buy some capable Kunlun slaves or simply recruit some poor farmers along the coast.

Since Xiao Nan decided to establish a sea kingdom, he needed to recruit all kinds of talents: fishing, farming, medicine, craftsman, etc.

Anyway, there are mountains of copper coins piled up in her Taoyuan, and it is a waste to leave them for nothing.

Xiao Yi also said that besides the two islands of Dongcang and Taicang, he found a few more deserted islands in the nearby waters. As long as he has enough manpower, he will be able to open up a few more islands.

When Xiao Nan heard this, he also became interested. You must know that it was not the era of large-scale maritime development. There were no pirates from the West, and China didn't care much about those deserted islands. Those places were basically unowned. The state, which she occupies at this time, is hers. After managing it, she can open up dozens of hundreds of islands in one go. She can completely create a new world that belongs only to her and her children.

Xiao Nan didn't want to be high-profile in this life, but these years of experience told her that low-key is not a panacea, and when it's time to be high-profile, she still wants to be high-profile.

One day, if she and Youbo Cui really can't live anymore, she will take the children directly to the East China Sea to build a brand new country, maybe she can be a queen herself.

However, this is the last move, Xiao Nan does not want to take this step, she is a soul from another world, she does not mind living far away in the East China Sea, but her children are native Tang people, let them give up the noble life of the heavenly kingdom , and turn to fight in a wild land with an unknown future, they may not really be willing.

Xiao Nan sat casually in the bamboo house in Taoyuan, looking at the prosperous pastoral scenery outside the window, she sighed faintly, and after a while said to herself: "Forget it, let's forget about that scumbag, let's continue to develop My sea kingdom."

After drinking a glass of fresh apple juice, Xiao Nan called Xiao Yi and told him not to forget to buy some oxen and plow tools while selling people.

Xiao Yi is a biochemical person, he is more obedient than the most loyal slaves, he will immediately carry out the master's orders.

So, when he rushed to the inland to trade with Wuli again, Xiao Yi mentioned that he wanted to buy some obedient and capable Kunlun slaves and cattle, and asked Wuli to recommend a safe place.

Wu Li was thinking about how to get closer to the mysterious island owner, when he heard this, he immediately became interested, and he didn't recommend it, so he directly took Xiao Yi to Yizhou's largest market for people and cattle and horses.

At the same time, Li Rongzheng, who had arrived in Yizhou a long time ago, asked an old fisherman anxiously: "...what kind of sea boat do you need if you want to go farther? There is not a big boat in Yizhou that can go to the deep sea? "

Li Rong originally thought that the sea boat he ordered to prepare was already huge enough, but when he got out of the sea, he could only circle in the shallow sea, and he couldn't go deep into the East China Sea, let alone search for the mysterious island in the vast sea.

The old fisherman didn't know Li Rong's real identity, he only knew that he was a nobleman from the capital, but this nobleman had eccentricities, he couldn't stay in the comfortable capital, and insisted on going to the dangerous sea.

Thinking about these fishermen, if they had the opportunity to buy fields and land in the inland, they would have lost all their possessions and went to the inland to enjoy the blessings, so why bother to earn some hard money at sea.

He was complaining in his heart, but the old fisherman didn't dare to show it, for fear of offending the nobleman, he frowned, and said uncertainly, "I-I really don't know about this..."

Li Rong sighed and said, "There is no way out?"

The old fisherman thought for a while, but stopped talking.

Seeing this, Li Rong urged repeatedly: "What did the old man think of? Just say it!"

The old fisherman babbled and said: "So-so, I have seen a kind of sea boat. It is said that it is from some Taicang Island. It is thousands of miles away from the inland. He will come to the inland once or twice every ten days. If Li Lang really If you want to go to Yuanhai, why, why not go and find this Manager Xiao?"

When Li Rong heard this, his eyes lit up. What he was looking for was Taicang Island. If he could just follow the people there, wouldn't it be cheaper than searching blindly by himself? !
"Aweng, Aweng, good news, good news!"

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy hurried to the beach, put his hands on his knees, panted for a while, finally calmed down his disordered breath, raised his head and smiled: "Ah, that, that Xiao, Xiao The steward came again, and this time he, he not only brought fruits, vegetables and food, but also let out the word that he wanted, wanted to recruit a few fishermen with water skills..."

The old fisherman was overjoyed, and was about to say something, but he didn't want Li Rong who was on the side to ask first: "Is Guanshi Xiao Lang talking about Guanshi Xiao from Taicang Island?"

Xiao Lang recognized this nobleman from the capital, and after listening to his question, he hurriedly replied: "So that Li Lang will know, it's Manager Xiao from Taicang Island!"

Li Rong's red phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, with a bright light shining in his eyes, as if he had thought of some good idea.

……

As time went by, the capital became colder and colder, and there were several heavy snowfalls in succession. There were fewer pedestrians on the streets, and the small alleys in the square were quite quiet.

The entire capital seems to have entered hibernation collectively, and the people in the city are also lazy, unless they have something important to do, otherwise they will never go out to suffer from the cold.

In the main room in the Wealthy Courtyard, there is underfloor heating, and there are burning smoke cages in the four corners of the room, making the whole room warm without feeling the slightest chill.

Lingxi and Changsheng didn't even wear thick clothes, they only wore small cotton-padded robes, and they knelt on the thick lichen, practicing calligraphy on the small desk in a serious manner.

Behind the two little bean dings, there are a few little maids accompanying them. Not far away, Feng Shanggong is holding a white porcelain cup, drinking warm tea soup, and looking at the two children with a smile.

Since Feng Shanggong came to Cui's house, Xiao Nan treated her with great courtesy, and did not regard her as a mother or servant, but as an elder, respecting her very much.

Feng Shanggong has spent most of her life in the palace, has seen all kinds of people, and has developed a pair of sharp eyes long ago. Although she can't see through people at a glance, she can still tell whether others are sincere to her.

To be honest, the days when he came to Cui's house were the most relaxed days for Feng Shanggong in decades. When he opened his eyes in the morning, there was no calculation or conspiracy, and all he had was a leisurely life.The cost of food and clothing is no worse than that in the palace, which makes her live very comfortably.

Especially recently, Xiao Nan entrusted her two children to take care of her, not to mention how this complete trust moved Feng Shanggong, but the two children, although they come from a family, have been loved since childhood However, the two of them didn't have the slightest noble temperament, but they were well-behaved, obedient, and polite. They also respected and loved Feng Shanggong very much. Even my indifferent heart softened.

Feng Shanggong gradually regarded the two children as his juniors, and took care of them more and more attentively.

Seeing Xiao Nan, he felt more at ease handing Lingxi and the others to Feng Shanggong, while he was more at ease raising the baby.

On this day, the Jiawei in Puzhou sent Xiao Nan the latest news.

Yu Zhu hugged Xue Niangzi, hurried all the way to the main room, saluted in a hurry, then untied the bamboo tube tied to Xue Niangzi's paw and handed it to Xiao Nan.

"Huh?" Xiao Nan unfolded the scroll, silently read the words on it, couldn't help laughing, and thought to himself, this Cui Da is really good enough to use such a bad move!
