reborn princess

Chapter 352

It stands to reason that every county has a granary, but when the imperial court issued an order to allocate grain for disaster relief, it turned out that the granary had already been empty out of ten, and those stored were secretly sold by officials like moths.

The emperor became angry because of this, and ransacked the homes of hundreds of officials.

She still remembers that she was 13 years old that year.

Now, when winter comes, she will be ten years old, that is to say, there are still three years before the disaster year.

Therefore, she tried her best to store up more food, at least to ensure that her family would not have to worry about food and drink in times of famine.There are also people in the shop, and part of the remaining food is used to make cakes to make money.

After considering all these things, she made a decision that all the harvested grain would not be sold, some would be stored in the village, and the rest would be brought home.

Knowing her behavior, Baili Yao smiled and said to Xuan Yu: "This girl is really scheming, she already knows the principle of 'accumulating grain to prevent hunger' at a young age."

Xuan Yu smiled and said, "What? Now you're in love with this girl again?"

Baili Yao sighed, "What can I do? Who would make my son like it! But the main thing is for her to strive for success. The few things she has done these days are quite in line with my heart."

Of course, Ye Weilan didn't know that her future parents-in-law were talking about her in private, but she was busy sending Fang Haoran to the capital city, and asked him to open a shop in the capital city and Rao city.

"Master..." One day, after lunch, Ye Weilan came to Shen Luo's room, hesitating to say something, but she seemed hesitant to speak.

"What's the matter? Is there anything you want to tell me?" Shen Luo sat on the kang, looking at her with raised eyes.

"Uh..." Ye Weilan hesitated. "Master, I want to ask you something?"

Ever since she put the grain into the warehouse, she has been thinking about this issue for the past few days. She is a person who has been reborn and knows many things that will happen in the future, so she knows that three years later, there will be a drought, which will cause the death of countless people. die.

She can't bear it!

So she wanted to find a reason to tell Shen Luo about this matter, maybe Shen Luo could find a way to remind the emperor to thoroughly investigate the granaries in the world, in that case, if the court was prepared, so many people would not die.

"What's the matter?" Shen Luo saw that she was struggling, and didn't rush her, but just poured himself a cup of tea with a calm expression.

Ye Weilan gritted her teeth, and said, "Master, I want to ask, if the granary in the county runs out of food, what will happen in a disaster year?"

Shen Luo raised his eyebrows high, "Why do you ask this question?"

"I..." Ye Weilan froze and made up a lie. "After harvesting the grain a few days ago, I suddenly remembered something. On the way to Liaocheng, I heard from people in the caravan that the government in many places secretly sold the grain in the granary, causing ten granaries Jiukong. Those experienced old people say that if there is a disaster year, the government will not be able to provide food for disaster relief, and countless people will starve to death."

Shen Luo frowned, and began to think about her words seriously. After a long time, he said: "I see, I will investigate this matter, you go and rest."

Ye Weilan couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, knowing that Shen Luo had listened to her words, as if a boulder had been lifted from her heart, she obediently went back to her room.

In the days that followed, she and Xuan Chen were both very busy. When they were together, they would be busy practicing kung fu and researching new flavors of cakes. When they were not together, Ye Weilan would be busy with embroidery, and Xuan Chen would be busy Learn pharmacology with Wang Tingchen.

First is Ye Weilan's birthday, she turned ten years old, and then Xuan Chen's birthday, he turned thirteen years old.

In November, the imperial court issued a document to transfer Zhen Xiong away, saying that he would be transferred to southern Xinjiang for defense.

Zhen Xiong was very unhappy to leave, but there was nothing he could do if he didn't leave. He knew in his heart that he had offended both Shen Luo and Xuan Yu, so he got this result.

After Zhen Xiong left, Xuan Yu and Bai Lixiao, who were in charge of the Ministry of War, discussed and promoted Wen Chun, the original deputy guard, to the guard. For the power of the Wen family, this was a big blow to the Wen family. Can't say anything.

No one told Ye Weilan about these things, but she heard them from Chen Fugui. Wen Chun's injury has healed, but because the school happened to be on winter vacation, his stepmother didn't allow him to go out, so he just asked Chen Fugui Thank her.

Zhen Xiong left, but he left behind a lot of shops, and he left the housekeeper to help manage these shops.

Southern Xinjiang is thousands of miles away from Liaocheng. If you still operate these shops in Liaocheng, you will inevitably feel that you can't reach them. Not to mention, it is a problem to transport silver every year.

So he decided to sell all these shops, including Zhuangzi.

After Ye Weilan got the news, she asked Song Hengzhi to run around and successfully bought a grain and oil store.

When Zhen Xiong went to the south, it was impossible to bring all the shopkeepers and assistants from these shops, so Ye Weilan still used the original shopkeepers and assistants from the grain and oil store.

Soon, it will be the end of the year.

One after another, some people brought new year gifts, and Bailiyao also brought gifts. In addition to some specialties and food, he specially gave them some leather goods, all of which were big clothes made of leather. Handbags made by my shop.

Ye Weilan started to worry about returning the gift again. Fortunately, she is different from last year. Last year, she didn't have so many people under her command. The whole family was busy, so she made some pastries to give away. But this year it will be better, she just With a word, the pastry shop can make all the pastries she wants.

And this year, her mother has not been idle, she has embroidered three kang screens, all of which are double-sided. She learned from her, and she has already inlaid them. One, one by Zhou Qing of Qianzhuang, and one by Mrs. Magistrate.

Ye Weilan spent money to buy some silk cloth, and went to a leather goods store to pick out some good leathers, and it was considered that the festival was over.

After the lively New Year, spring will soon begin again.

New year, spring is here!

As expected, Wen Chun failed to take the exam, he is still just a child.

When Chen Fugui told Ye Weilan about this, he was filled with righteous indignation, but it was Ye Weilan who comforted him, anyway, they had already sent a letter to Mrs. Wen, and Mrs. Wen would definitely not let Wenchun continue to be under the influence of her stepmother because Mrs. Wen attached great importance to her children. abusive.

Not long after this incident, Wen Chun suddenly came to look for Ye Weilan, and it was Chen Fugui who brought him here.

"I know, it was because of your help that I was able to escape and survive this time, Lan'er and sister, I will not say anything, you are my savior, and I will always remember you!" Wen Chun looked at There was something more in Ye Weilan's eyes besides gratitude, but no one noticed it.

"Brother Wenchun, what did you say? I will help you only if I treat you as my own brother. You must not say such polite words to me." Ye Weilan poured him a cup of tea with her own hands, and then smiled. "But someone from the capital wants to pick you up?"

Wen Chun and Chen Fugui looked at each other, showing a faint smile, but there was a little bitterness in the smile, "Yes, my grandmother sent someone to pick me up, and I will be on the road tomorrow. I am here specially to meet you today." Farewell."

"Ah—" Ye Weilan was a little surprised. "Why are you in such a hurry? I can't do it for you anymore, why don't you stay for dinner at noon now."

"No, I have to go back and pack some things." Wen Chun glanced at Xuan Chen who was glaring at him, and rejected Ye Weilan's proposal.

Seeing that he was quite sensible, Xuan Chen couldn't help laughing complacently, and said, "Lan'er, since Mr. Wen has something to do, don't delay his time."

Ye Weilan couldn't help but glared at him fiercely, "No one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak!"

After scolding people, she changed into a smiling face, opened the cabinet, took out her money box, and took out several 100 taels of silver bills, a dozen small silver coins of one tael, and 20 taels Jin Zi, "Knowing that your grandmother will take care of you, I am relieved, but I also know what kind of life you live at home. Don't alienate me. I really treat you as my own brother. Poor family Fulu, another servant from the family is here to pick you up, you are a young master anyway, it's a shame you don't have any money in your hand, it's hard to avoid being looked down upon."

As she spoke, she quickly found a purse, put the banknotes, silver taels, and gold ingots into it, and said: "Keep the banknotes close to your body, and take them to the bank to exchange them when you need them."

"No, Miss Lan'er, I... I have already received your great favor, and I can't ask for your money anymore..." Wen Chun looked a little flustered, and repeatedly declined.

Ye Weilan said seriously: "Brother Wenchun, let me say it again. I call you brother, and I treat you as my own brother. In my heart, you are the same as Brother Fugui. I don't have a real brother in my family, so I recognize you." Be my older brother with Brother Fugui, and when you and Brother Fugui are named on the gold list in the future, as a girl, I still need you to support me."

Wen Chun looked at her excitedly, his eyes were red, since his mother died, no one has ever cared about him so much, he thought about it, and solemnly took out a jade pendant from his bosom, "Lan'er Sister, this is left to me by my mother, please keep it."

Ye Weilan smiled and said: "Since it was left to you by your mother, and you wear it close to your body, it is of special significance. How can you give it away casually? I dare not accept it. You keep it well, and marry me a sister-in-law in the future." , and then take it as a token to give to my sister-in-law, so that it can be passed down to the family in the future."

"Lan'er..." Wen Chun's face suddenly became a little uncomfortable, and the jade pendant in his hand stopped in mid-air awkwardly.

Ye Weilan took the jade pendant with a smile, put it back into his bosom for him, and put the pouch in his bosom into his bosom, "Brother Wenchun, I won't keep you any longer, I wish you the best of luck!"

Wen Chun nodded with red eyes, hesitated for a while, and whispered: "Sister Lan'er, you must be well, I... I will write to you!"

Ye Weilan smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
