Chapter 270
After this incident, the situation in Jixiang County has stabilized.

The relationship between Xia Daohua and the Wang family has also become much closer.

Eunuch Wei sent a steady-looking middle-aged man over, set up a small shop near Daohuaxiang, and started a business selling dried fruits and roasted seeds and nuts.

The so-called roasted seeds and nuts are fried melon seeds, chestnuts, walnuts and the like.Add some seasonings and stir-fry to make snacks.

The price is generally not cheap, but not particularly expensive.

During the New Year's Eve, all families with children will buy some roasted seeds and nuts back home, so that they can entertain guests and coax their children.

However, that person's main responsibility was not to do business to make money, but to run errands and pass on messages between Xia Daohua and Eunuch Wei.

Eunuch Wei is illiterate, and he always feels that many things are put on paper, and there is a risk of being stolen. He always feels unreliable, and it is more appropriate to discuss them face to face.

The owner of the roasted seeds and nuts shop opened for business on the first day, so Dao Huaxiang came to visit Xia Daohua, and told her clearly about the person sent by his father-in-law Wei.

If there is anything, you can let him pass the message, you are not welcome at all.

Xia Daohua accepted this "kindness", she knew that this godson of Eunuch Wei not only ran errands between her and Eunuch Wei, but also had the "mission" of monitoring and supervising her.

Although Eunuch Wei didn't dare to offend her openly, he didn't dare to let her power blatantly show up there to attract people. Wouldn't it be a big loss if it was used by the enemy?
So he had to look at her with trepidation, trying his best to make sure that she was on his side.

Xia Daohua could understand this worry, and didn't mind if the other party would use any means against her, so she congratulated Wei Jizu on the opening of his new store with a smile and wished him a prosperous business.

Wei Jizu didn't understand why his godfather sent him here in person to keep an eye on this little girl. After all, whether it's passing on errands or spying secretly, you can find someone to do it.

Wouldn't it be a little overkill for him to do it?

But even though his godfather was illiterate, he never made any foolish tricks. Since he arranged for him to do this, he had to do it himself.

Wei Jizu never imagined that within a few days, he got the task.

The little girl even unceremoniously asked him to pass on a message to her godfather.

What's even more frightening is that the godfather got the letter and came over in person in person!

The two of them went to Yangji Teahouse to drink tea for a long time, and even invited Mrs. Wang, the wife of the county magistrate, to accompany them!

Wei Jizu was full of question marks, but before his godfather said anything, he couldn't take the initiative to ask, just pretend he didn't see it!
Wei Jizu honestly guarded the door in person, even when Xiaoer came to bring tea and water, he took it with his own hands, and personally brought it into the house, preventing others from approaching.

The effort was not in vain.

After drinking the tea for a while, the godfather came out with a red face, and patted himself on the shoulder cheerfully, and gave him a gold ingot weighing twelve taels for him to pay.

Even if they drink the top quality tea in the store, they still can't use up ten taels of gold!

Why is godfather so generous today?

Wei Jizu bowed and sent the smiling godfather Eunuch Wei and the county magistrate's wife Wang out of the teahouse. He straightened up and watched the smiling little girl Xia Daohua follow behind the two and walked out all the way. , I was wondering what good things happened to my godfather, while staying to deal with the aftermath.

Wei Jizu calmly put the gold ingot in his arms, and took the money bag to pay the bill.In the end, it only cost two taels of silver, which was enough.

A gold ingot of ten taels is equivalent to a hundred taels of silver.

I made a lot of money this trip!
Wei Jizu returned to the roasted seeds and nuts shop happily, but the more he observed Xia Daohua, the more curious he became.

Wei Jizu's curiosity was quickly satisfied.

Eunuch Wei told him: "Let Xiao Qi choose a few people to help, there must be two stewards and two guards, and let him figure out the rest."

Wang's side also ordered Sixi: "Bring up the brochures of the whole family, and I'll see if there is anything suitable."

Xia Daohua happily became the hands-off shopkeeper.

However, she still contacted Xia Youtian and Erlang, and after discussing, she decided to ask fifth uncle Xia Youliang and fifth aunt Cheng what they meant.

Xia Daohua plans to set up a red brick workshop and a cement workshop. The profit of the red brick workshop is meager, so Eunuch Wei and the Wang family don't think much of it.

But for the Xia family, the profit of brick kilns is much higher than that of farming.

Previously, County Magistrate Yang and the Wang family had resolutely punished several grain stores, and also selected some of the confiscated real estate, and put it with the convicted female relatives, arranging the sale of official teeth in Jixiang County.

The women's relatives sold very quickly, but the real estate was scarce.

Firstly, it was because the effect of killing chickens and monkeys was so good that the local merchants were terrified and planned to wait and see again; secondly, it was also because the land was designated as official land and allocated to refugees for farming, which made these local merchants feel uncomfortable. Dare to make a move.

Not only did they not dare to make a move, but some merchants with a dirty foundation were still trying to smooth over their past mistakes, and even secretly sold some fields slowly to prevent being found out in the future.

Xia Daohua inspected around and found several lands.

She bought a small village with an area of ​​less than [-] mu, next to the southern suburb of Jixiang County, and closer to the capital.

Although the place is small, it has all the internal organs.

There is a naturally formed small hill, with many wild trees and weeds on the mountain, as well as many small animals.

There are three or four slopes that have been reclaimed, but the yield is really not very good.There are about twelve acres of fertile land.There are six acres of sandy land.

There is also a half-acre lotus pond.

There are also two deep wells dug in Zhuangzi, both of which have tall manhole covers, so that even if there are children running around in Zhuangzi, they will not fall into it.

What Xia Daohua was most satisfied with was an aqueduct built to extend in all directions.

During the dry season, this canal makes irrigation very convenient, and during the rainy season, this canal can also divert water and discharge floods.

In addition to this small village, Xia Daohua also bought two pieces of land in the countryside in the northwest of Jixiang County, planning to use them to set up a red brick workshop and a cement workshop.

The red brick workshop was nothing more than that, neither Mrs. Wang nor Eunuch Wei took the hard-earned money seriously.But the cement workshop made the two people's eyes shine.

They know that Xia Daohua has many good things in her hands.But they didn't expect that they still have a chance to share a piece of the pie and make a fortune together.

Eunuch Wei and Mrs. Wang kept their distance politely, both regarded each other as Xia Daohua's backer, and were polite to each other.

Xia Daohua secretly laughed.

She naturally saw the scruples these two people had towards each other, and she smiled inwardly—smart people just think a lot, and you don't need to say anything, and they will fill it up with their brains.

In fact, she is too lazy to care about specific matters, so it is not difficult to bring these two people together and find some management talents from someone.

She only needs to show some skills.What's more, she also bought two pieces of land, which is a bigger investment than simply producing technology.

It shouldn't be too much to be a hands-off shopkeeper!

 Today, I accidentally dropped a bottle of Feizhai Happy Water on the ground, and I didn't react stupidly. The moment I unscrewed the lid, I saw what is called a Coke fountain... I was completely chilled. ^_^ Good night, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow.
