Di daughter is easy to marry: the stunning princess

Chapter 136
Although it is not a new seawall, but this time the entire seawall has collapsed, and the workload of maintenance is similar to that of new construction.Only half of the recovered stones can be used, and the remaining half must be filled with new stones.There are no more than two sources of stone materials, one is transported by canals from other places, and the other is nearby, mined from the mountains in Anyang Prefecture.

In the past, Anyang was rich, and people could do whatever they wanted by relying on the canal without worrying about food and clothing. No one was willing to go to the mountains to collect stones. All the stones in Anyang Mansion were brought from other places.

Originally, Qin Xiao also decided to take his luck from other places this time, but Jin Xi insisted on letting the local go up to the mountains to collect stones.First, the stones brought in from outside are more expensive than those mined locally. Although each stone costs only three Wen, if you add up a few 10 yuan of stones, it is a lot of money. It was flooded, and now they are all being rebuilt. The stone factories don't have to worry about the source of customers. Not to mention raising prices at will, they may not be able to deliver the work on time.

The most important thing is the flood in Anyang Mansion. Most of the houses in the villages and towns below were destroyed. Many people were homeless and stayed in Anyang City to find work.But Anyang City is still waiting to be rebuilt, so there is no need for so many people.Instead of letting them idle and make trouble, it is better to go into the mountains to collect stones.The extra stones can be sold to other places to earn some money.

These days there is no such thing as work-for-relief, and disaster-stricken places are exempted from grain tax for three years as a rule. If you want to get these victims to go to the mountains to quarry stone, someone has to come forward and set up a stone factory first.

Jin Xi fiddled with the abacus, making calculations. "I've inquired about it. Calculated by a hundred people, one hundred and fifty square meters of materials can be collected every day, and according to the current market price, it can be sold for 300 taels of silver. Each laborer is 20 taels a day, a total of ten taels, and the meal crew is 50 taels. The car and horse fee to the city is 80 taels, and the total is 200 taels. To buy some tools, the chariots and horses can be hired, which also saves the cost of purchasing. The stone factory for disaster relief does not have to pay taxes, and then goes to the accountant, steward, and cook. After working, I have a net balance of more than 19 taels a day. In the future, there will be few days when I can’t start work on rainy days, and I can work until the freezing. I can earn about 8000 taels in three months, and if I remove the odds, I can still have 19 taels left .

When you sell the material factory when you return to Beijing, you can still get a few thousand taels.If it’s not too troublesome, find someone to watch and continue to work. After the dike is repaired, it can be sold to build a house in the city. I sent someone to inspect it. The nearby mountains can be mined, and they are all high-quality stones. "

Qin Xiao waited for her to settle the accounts, raised his thumb, and boasted in a very solemn tone: "Who will say you are a fool in the future, and who am I to worry about? You have counted it to the bottom of your heart!"

Jin Xi rolled her eyes secretly, no one called me a fool except you!But his face was full of sincerity, and he looked at Qin Xiao, "For the sake of giving you such a good idea again, can this stone factory count me as a share?"

"Okay! I'll give you a share!" Qin Xiao thought about Jinxi's idea in his heart for a while, and agreed immediately without finding any omissions.

Jin Xi curled her lips secretly and scolded him for being petty, but she was also very content.If you don't care about anything and just come up with an idea, you can get money. If you want too much, it is greed.

Qin Xiao was also a man of action, so he immediately went to find Mr. Tang and asked him to report a stone factory to the government, and then asked Mr. Tang to run it with a profit.

The Tang family has been in business for generations, Mr. Tang is just unlucky and not stupid. Of course he knows that opening a stone factory right now is a surefire way to make money.Not to mention giving him a share of the profit, even if he didn't give it back, he would be afraid that he would have no money in the future if he could hug the imperial envoy's thigh tightly.Before and after the run, he was extremely active and enthusiastic. After a few days of work, the stone factory had already started recruiting people.

Originally, there were quite a few people in Anyang City who wanted to do stone business, but when they found out that the current imperial envoy was behind the Tang family, no one would dare to fight.He could only look at the mountain and sigh, secretly cursing himself for being too slow to make friends with that Mr. Qin from the capital earlier.

Everything was in Jin Xi's expectation, except for one thing that was missed.Looking at the thick ledger in front of her, Jin Xi gritted her teeth in hatred. With Qin Xiao's personality, how could it be possible for her to stop working and just get money?

She calculated the amount of work to build the seawall, so she calculated to recruit 100 people. She didn't expect that Qin Xiao, who wanted to make a fat man, opened four feed factories. Except for the victims who repaired the embankment, half of the strong men in Anyang City Went into the mountains to collect stones.The excavated stones are not only used for their own use, but also transported to other places for sale.

It has to be said that Qin Xiao is as smart as a monkey. She only wanted to get rich at first, but this guy wanted to get rich while not complaining.Let those who want to start a stone factory but fail to do so sell their stones for them, which not only solves the market but also calms their grievances.Killing two birds with one stone is worthy of the fact that he grew up in an aristocratic family with an eye for attention.

When the business is good, there are naturally more accounts. Why can't you spend a few taels of money to hire a manager if you use her as an accountant?

But Jin Xi just complained a few words, such a large amount of business was handed over to outsiders, and Qin Xiao was willing to let go, so she was not at ease.

The abacus was being dialed, and it took all afternoon to finish checking yesterday's accounts. Jin Xilei's fingers hurt, but his eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile.Make a fortune!There is a total of 300 taels of silver left in a day, and she has 130 taels of it.This is still the beginning, after four months, how much will she earn?
Collusion between government and businessmen is indeed the kingly way to make money!

Before Jin Xi finished his daydream, He Huan suddenly came in with his head poking his head, and ignoring Qing Xing's obstruction, he knelt down in front of Jin Xi and cried, "Please give me a way to survive! I will be a cow and a horse for the rest of my life." I can't forget the girl's great kindness!"

Jin Xi's first reaction was to close all the ledgers on the table, frowning secretly. These days, he was only thinking about making money, and if Zhou Bohai died, there would be a way out, so he forgot about her.

"Father hasn't heard anything yet, so why should I say whether to let you go?"

"Master must have been killed by them!" He Huan cried even harder. He climbed a few steps forward and hugged Jinxi's leg. It was sold to the master, I beg the girl to make the decision and let me go, the slave redeems himself, I beg the girl to be merciful!"

"You mean them? Do you know the whereabouts of the master?" Jin Xi ignored the nonsense behind He Huan, grasped the two words she had left out, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Ah?" He Huan seemed to have seen a ghost, his face turned pale immediately, and he stammered, "No...no...I don't know anything..."

He Huan's expression made Jin Xi more sure. She knew something, so she said unhurriedly: "Then you can wait for father to come back! Since you are father's concubine, your fate is decided by father. If my father is gone, there will still be my mother, uncle and grandmother. It’s not my turn to decide.”

He Huan was naturally frightened by Jin Xi's words. If Zhou Bohai died, he could guess what the mistress would do with her without even thinking about it.Anyway, she came out of the brothel, so she wasn't afraid of being sold back, but she didn't dare to go back to Beijing, and didn't dare to meet that person.

Jin Xi looked at He Huan leisurely, and drank tea slowly to give her enough time to think.Anyway, it's not her who is anxious, and now that she has money in her waist, she really doesn't care whether that scumbag Zhou Bohai lives or dies.It's better to die, save food!

The more Jin Xi thought about it, the more relaxed she became. When she was putting the tea bowl down, she glanced at He Huan, and was about to ask her if she had thought about it, but suddenly felt something was wrong.I looked up, down, left, and right several times, but I didn't see anything wrong. Wu You's head was pulled into a peach heart bun, and pearl hairpins were inserted. He was wearing a willow-colored gourd-patterned thick brocade jacket, with peacock blue thin pleats underneath. The skirt has an inch-wide hem at the bottom, embroidered with bright patterns of magpies climbing on branches.

It stands to reason that Zhou Bohai's whereabouts are unknown, He Huan should keep a low profile as a concubine, but she was born in a brothel, her grooming has been carved into her bones, if she doesn't dress up, there will be problems.

There was no problem with her attire, but the feeling of uneasiness in Jinxi's heart became stronger and stronger. Her eyes swept across her stomach for the third time, and she got the answer with a bang.Raising eyebrows suddenly, he shouted: "What's the matter with the child in your stomach?"

"Ah!" He Huanyi screamed, clutching his stomach subconsciously, looking at Jinxi like a ghost.He spoke incoherently: "Of course it belongs to the master... I am not pregnant... I am the master's concubine..."

Jin Xi stared at her coldly, really wanting to ask her, do you know what you are talking about?Do you really think everyone else is a fool?

If you were pregnant with Zhou Bohai's child, would you leave with all your heart?I can't wait to be born, the mother is more expensive than the child, but fortunately the Zhou family has a firm foothold!Being pregnant and leaving in a hurry can only explain one problem, you are cuckolding Zhou Bohai, a scumbag!

But Jinxi doesn't care who the child in Hehuan's belly belongs to, it has nothing to do with her anyway.What she cared about was the one He Huan spoke of.If she knows the exact news about Zhou Bohai, she can make preparations in advance.It's always hanging like this, there are too many variables.

After making up her mind, Jin Xi's tone slowed down, "I don't care about your business, as long as you tell the truth, I promise to let you live. If you really want to leave Zhou's house, you can play dead or run away, you can take It shouldn't be a problem to use your ability to change places and get a fake identity to survive. But you only have one chance, and you can talk back after you think about it!"

Although Hehuan wholeheartedly begged Jinxi to let her live, he hesitated when the situation came to an end, not because he didn't want to leave the Zhou family, but because he was afraid that Jinxi would coax her to play.If this matter is mentioned, if Jin Xi goes back on his word, she will really have no way out.

Seeing He Huan's concerns, Jin Xi raised his hand and swore, "I swear, if I regret it afterwards, there will be a thunderbolt, and I will have no one to rely on in life, and I will not be able to cross over after death, and I will fall into Abi Hell forever."

She didn't intend to lie to Hehuan at all, so the oath was extremely heavy.He Huan listened in a daze, and suddenly burst into tears, "The child belongs to Qian Zhong!" He said the most difficult sentence, and there was nothing to embarrass the rest.

"At the beginning, there was a powerful person in Beijing who secretly raised me. I thought I was pregnant with his child, so he redeemed me and put me next to the master. He wanted to give the child a name. Who knew that I was taken by the same building? It was my sister who mistrusted quack doctors, and even though she was pregnant, she was not pregnant. I was afraid that the man in Jingli would think I was lying to him after he found out, so I tried everything I could to get pregnant, but... the master can't."

He Huan recalled the sad days of these years, crying out of breath, "In a moment of carelessness, I was killed by Zhu Zhu's hoof, and was ruined by Qian Zhong's beast."

Jin Xi was disturbed when he heard that, "I don't want to hear about these dirty things, so get to the point!"
