Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

The success of potato seeds in northern Xinjiang was within Li Xiao's expectation, but also unexpected.

Li Xiao did not expect that several other cities would also spontaneously try to grow potato seeds. Although the output is not high, in northern Xinjiang where food is already tight, a yield of several hundred kilograms per mu is extremely rare.

Fortunately, that batch of potatoes with poor yield was also a large amount of grain. It could be used to improve the food for the rough guys in the military camp for a while.

As promised, the couple built a small vermicelli workshop in each of the three cities in northern Xinjiang to make flour from the potatoes harvested in the army's fields, and then charged a small amount of the finished product as a production fee.

Ouyang Yiyun and his wife's current status, money is mostly just a numerical value. In Li Xiao's eyes, her original intention of making money was to improve her life. But now, neither she nor her brothers and parents will worry about those few taels of yellow and white things anymore.

Therefore, as long as her ability allows, she now always wants to give something back to the people appropriately, which can be regarded as a way to accumulate virtue for her time in this life.

In the past few years, the couple spent 500,000 taels in succession, selected 50 relatively poor places, built schools, hired teachers, and provided free enlightenment for children under the age of ten.

Not many people enrolled in school at the beginning, but with the current emphasis on scientific examinations and the support for needy candidates, people gradually became more and more accepting of sending their children to school.

Nowadays, free schools are basically full, and the age of enlightenment for children from poor areas is gradually advancing.

The couple gathered together and looked at the information about the school sent from various places. They looked at each other and said in unison: "Hand it over!"

The development of schools has been basically stable, and in a few years, people in those places have gradually developed the habit of sending their children to school.

In the final analysis, education issues must still be in the hands of the imperial court. Even as a child of the royal family, Ouyang Yiyun should not be too involved.

However, a few years ago, the couple went south to visit stores and passed through many poor areas. During the slack time, children played in groups in the mud. At first glance, it always made people feel that these children lacked some aura.

Perhaps because she is also a mother and her children are smart, well-behaved and full of energy, Li Xiao hopes that other children can also be more intelligent.

So, the idea of ​​building a free school came up.

As a husband, Ouyang Yiyun naturally supported her. He even communicated with the emperor in advance and promised that after the school was on the right track, all schools would need to be handed over to the court.

Now is the right time.

Fifty schools, along with all materials, personnel, and accounts were handed over to the Imperial College. All subsequent matters will be fully taken care of by the Imperial College, and the couple once again feel relaxed.

After handing over the school, as the temperature in the capital slowly dropped, Li Xiao began to live a life of salty fish again.

Of the four children, except Mimi who stayed at home, the other three were busy studying in the study room. It is worth mentioning that Ziqian has entered the same class as his two elder brothers. His amazing learning ability has amazed all the gentlemen. Li Xiao is at home every day, occasionally reading his storybook and occasionally looking at his account books, balancing work and entertainment. Ouyang Yiyun is busier every day running around outside, so Li Xiao can only do it every night. After returning home, try to be nice to him as much as possible.

In fact, there is no such thing as peaceful time in this world. In fact, there are just people who are silently carrying the burden and moving forward. She doesn't say it, but she also knows someone's hard work.

However, after the New Year, Li Xiao discovered that Ouyang Yiyun was gradually not as busy as before. When he asked curiously, he found out that all the affairs of Jixiang Restaurant in his hands had been handed over. Li Xiao was really surprised when she found out who it was to be handed over to.

The person who took over all the affairs of the restaurant was none other than her youngest son Ziqian! That child who just celebrated his eleventh birthday!

"Don't worry, I started taking over the business when I was eight years old. When I took over the Jixiang Restaurant, it was an ordinary restaurant in the capital. My father just gave it to me to kill time, but I didn't expect that I spent three years. Over four years, we developed it bit by bit.”

"Now that Ziqian is twelve years old, and he has been studying with me for a long time, you have to believe in his head. As long as he is willing, it is just a restaurant, and it will not be difficult for him!" Ouyang Yiyun said this, except To appease his wife, he really believed in his son.

"I'm not worried," Li Xiao retracted his surprised expression, and instead said a little funny: "I'm just surprised that you are willing to let him, with such a good mind, end up becoming a 'businessman' like you. "

Li Xiao does not think that businessmen are bad. To be honest, she is also a "businessman", but in this era, among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, "business" is still not favored by the world, even if everyone cannot do without it.

"What's the reluctance?" Ouyang Yiyun also smiled, "His bag is more suitable for shopping malls. No one can trick him."

"Besides, madam, think about it carefully. My husband took over the Jixiang Restaurant when he was eight years old, and in a few years, he developed it to the point where it is spread all over the country. How about my husband's head?" As he said this, he hugged Li Xiao into his arms. She was in her arms, and her eyes were full of lust that made Li Xiao blush with just one look.

A night of spring light fills the room with beauty.

In mid-April, Wanting began to arrange for people to go to the west of the city to clean up the new yard for Luo Yun's family in advance. After buying it before, Wanting just replied to Luo Yun with the address of the yard, but the yard had been idle and had not been taken care of.

Two days ago, Wanting received a letter from Luo Yun from Northern Xinjiang, saying that she would arrive in Beijing in late May or early June at the latest, and that she would be invited to attend the greenhouse banquet then.

In this way, Wanting thought about asking someone to help clean up first, which would save Luo Yun's family a long journey. After entering Beijing, they had to drag their tired bodies to clean up the yard.

Fortunately, the yard is not big, and the original owner is a tidy person. Apart from some dust, there are no other problems with the things in the house.

Instead, the mattresses were covered and dried for a few days while the weather was nice. Wanting also had people take good care of the flowers and plants in the yard. In early May, the yard looked brand new.

After tidying up the yard, Wanting made the decision and asked the steward of the palace to go to Yahang to buy a person and put it temporarily in the small yard. He would take care of the yard and look after the door. As for the other servants, Luo Yun and his family would arrive by then. They make their own decisions.

End countdown.
