Quick Transmigration: Start killing from The Legend of Zhen Huan!

Chapter 279: The Legend of Zhen Huan, Yi Xiu (20)

"Concubine, hot springs don't really have any effect."

Nanny shook her head slightly, "It's just that some children and men like to jump in and take a bath.

No need to burn firewood to boil water for bathing, which saves some firewood for the family."

"Have you heard of a larger hot spring nearby?"

Li Siqi didn't care and asked, "Or multiple hot springs?"

The nanny asked in confusion, "Concubine, do you want to go to the hot spring?"

"Mammy, no matter what it is, as long as it is used well, it is a good thing."

Li Siqi smiled faintly, "Go back and tell your boy to help this concubine to inquire about it.

Where are the hot springs and what are they like?

Can I buy it?

Tell him that if he does it well, this concubine will reward him handsomely."

"Yes."

The nurse agreed immediately.

The master and servant talked as they walked.

Looking at the fertile fields that had just been harvested, he asked again, "Do we have to wait until the spring to plant again?"

"Yes, Concubine."

Nanny nodded and said, "The fields here can only be used for one crop per year.

I heard that rice can be grown two or three times in the south, but I don’t know if it’s true.”

“In some places, it is possible.”

Li Siqi nodded and said, "It's different here. It starts to get cold in autumn and it's covered with ice and snow in winter.

The climate is different, so you can only grow it for one season.”

“It would be great if we could grow two or three crops.”

Nanny couldn't help but sigh, "With more food, the people will have a better life."

“It’s not easy for everyone.”

Li Siqi nodded, "Plant some more grains later."

Then he asked Xiao Huzi, "If I remember correctly, potatoes seem to have been introduced here a long time ago.

Why hasn’t it developed yet?”

"Master, there are actually a lot of agricultural products in the Qing Dynasty."

Xiao Huzi said: "The main problem is that the yield is not high and we don't know how to make fertilizer.

If the master wants to develop agriculture, that's good too."

"Can you find me some seeds?"

"no problem."

"That's good."

……

I took a walk around the village.

This village is neither big nor small.

There are about sixty or seventy households, big and small, young and old, and all together there are more than three hundred tenants.

A small river about two or three meters wide, and the water level is not shallow.

Ensure that there is no shortage of water in the village.

Li Siqi discovered that there was sandy land on both sides of the stream, which was suitable for growing sweet potatoes and potatoes.

She was ready to take advantage.

As they walked along, they met tenant farmers, but they did not dare to disturb them.

Li Siqi returned to the villa quickly.

After sitting down.

After taking a sip of tea, he looked at the nanny in front of him and said, "I need a few people who can work for my wife.

The nanny can recommend someone who is smart, sensible, and knows how to act in moderation to be my concubine.

Anyone with skills can come.

Bring the person here tomorrow for my wife to see.

correct.

The two shopkeepers of this concubine’s shop.

Mammy has sent someone to call them over, and bring the account book with her."

"Yes, Concubine."

"By the way, among the tenants, are there any who know how to cut walls?"

"Yes, the two old men can."

"Tell them to come see my wife later.

"Okay, you go and do your work first."

Li Siqi ordered: "If you have any problem, come to me anytime."

"Yes, slave, please leave!"

After the wet nurse bowed, she withdrew.

Li Siqi walked towards the furnished study.

Start writing a plan.

At least she has to have some income that is visible on the surface.

You don't need to be very rich, but at least you should be able to raise a son without any effort.

Then she must manage her shop and this small farm well.

This busy process lasted for two hours.

the next day.

Many tenants with skills came.

Li Siqi asked a few questions.

Each person was given a cup of tea.

The next step is to tell these people to start working.

Arrange them one by one.

Having work to do means having income.

Although the tenants didn't understand why she did this, they still went about their work happily.

"Sujita, keep an eye on them while they do their work."

Li Siqi told Nanny's man, "Don't make any mistakes.

People were sent to the market and various villages to buy chicken, duck and all kinds of poultry seedlings.

If you don’t have enough silver, remember to come to Jianqiu to get some.

Of course, all expenditures must be clearly recorded in the account book.

Don't let my wife know that you dare to reach out, understand?"

"The servant dare not."

Su Jitai knelt down and kowtowed in response, “Please rest assured, Master.

I will do my job well."

"Get up."

Li Siqi ordered, "Don't let everyone know about the search for the hot spring.

When buying poultry chicks, just ask around.

This matter must be handled properly."

"Yes, Master!"

"We're going to dig out the pond today."

Li Siqi instructed again, "And have all the tenants' excrement be dumped in that place.

If anyone dares to disobey, don’t blame me for being rude.”

"Yes!"

“If you are too busy with the work at hand, pick two more managers to work with you.

You can give me people and money if you want them. The only request of this concubine is that you get everything done well."

"Whoo!"

……

Some work has been arranged.

The two shop owners finally arrived.

Li Siqi did not meet anyone immediately.

Let them rest and eat.

After I had a good rest, I started to look at the account books they brought.

When I was at home before.

Yixiu had met these two shopkeepers.

The impression he has is that of a slick businessman.

However, the profits they brought to the shop were only mediocre.

The amount of silver handed over every month was five or six hundred taels. Not one tael more or less, not one tael less.

It’s okay to deceive the original owner.

Li Siqi knew the trick as soon as he looked at the account book.

"Jianqiu, let them in."

Li Siqi looked at the two shopkeepers coming in with a cold face.

"Your servant pays respects to Concubine Jin."

The two bowed at the same time, "Good luck to the concubine."

"Two shopkeepers, please get up."

Li Siqi did not make things difficult for them, "I haven't seen you two for nearly a year.

I didn't expect the two shopkeepers to do things so seriously.

The income after a year really remains the same.

I wonder if the two shopkeepers are treating my wife as a fool and playing a joke on her."

"Slave dare not!"

"Concubine, it's unfair!"

The two men knelt down again in fear.

They started to protest their injustice immediately.

Then she started to complain, "Concubine, it's hard to do business in the capital!"

"Concubine, the location of our shop is not very good, and the business is really not that good."

……

Listening to their words, Li Siqi kept smiling.

The look in their eyes became colder and colder.

Until they themselves couldn't speak anymore.

After all, it’s difficult to perform a monologue.

Coupled with the pressure-filled gazes, they couldn't open their mouths even if they wanted to continue singing.

"The two shopkeepers have worked so hard."

Li Siqi curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Why not let the two shopkeepers go home and rest.

I, your wife, would not let you work so hard.

Lest someone say that this concubine is unkind and unmerciful, don’t you think so?”
