Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 408 Lin Zhaoyuan's No. 2 Scholar ([-])
Thinking of the business, Ling Yun quickly freed one hand, took out a letter from the purse embroidered by Lu Wu himself, and handed it to Zhang Xiaocao.

Zhang Xiaocao was overjoyed when she heard it, guessing that the result of the examination must have come out, she quickly opened the letter, but saw that it was not the vigorous handwriting she was familiar with, but Ling Feng's slightly sharp handwriting, she couldn't help but Some doubts, but did not think too much, just thought that Lin Zhaoyuan was busy with the scientific research and had no time to write the letter, so Ling Feng wrote it.

She took a quick look, and it turned out that the results of the general examination came out. Lin Zhaoyuan won the first place in the general examination and became the first prize of this session. In history, you can't find a few!
She didn't pay much attention to whether he got Huiyuan, but it was best to get the first place!
Apart from him, there are Le Ting and Cheng Yuanpeng, who have also become Gongsheng students, and their rankings are also high. Not surprisingly, after half a month of palace examinations, it is no problem for them to be a second-class Jinshi.

After reading it, Zhang Xiaocao folded the letter and said to Ling Yun: "You put the things away, and I'll take them in. You go to Lizheng's house first and tell them the good news, so that the two old people won't be worried!"

"Yes, girl, I'm going!"

Ling Yun responded, put down the things, turned around and left the yard.

Zhang Xiaocao put away the letter and looked at all kinds of things on the ground, feeling extremely helpless!The folks are too polite. Whenever there are good things at home, they will send some over. Although they are not expensive things, they are always thoughtful. Knowing that she likes to eat fungus and wild mushrooms, sometimes they go to the mountains to collect some and send them to her. .

It's just that her body is such that she can't eat more fungus, every time she eats more, it will attract disapproving looks from Jun Liyou.

This is the way the villagers express their gratitude. If they don't accept it, they will feel sorry for it, so she has to use other ways to make up for it.

After sorting the things and handing them over to Mrs. Song, Zhang Xiaocao went back to her small study to check the accounts for this month.Every month at the end of the month, the accounts of various places have to be handed over to her, and even the accounts of the Southern Thirteen Fragrance Workshop are sent back by Xiaoyi or Xiaosan. Fortunately, the communication between the two of them is very reliable now, and she is not worried that something will go wrong on the way. .

It is now the end of October, and the cotton has been cleaned up. This year, 250 acres of cotton have been planted, and a total of nearly 14 catties of cotton have been harvested. In addition, the price of cotton has risen a little this year, and the cotton alone is worth 5000 taels of silver. .

Compared with cotton, there are few stewed meat workshops. After adding new jerky, after half a year of hard work, it is only 8000 taels of silver. Fortunately, it is relatively stable. Tong Xiao manages the farm very well. Since the farm In practice, no large-scale plague broke out, which is very good.

What made her most happy was the potato and thirteen incense workshops. As early as the beginning of the year, the few acres of potatoes harvested in November last year were planted at the beginning of the year. That time there were 250 acres. Another crop was planted, not only the original 310 mu, but also the [-] mu that was deliberately left behind. The remaining several hundred catties were also taken to the capital by the adoptive father, saying that it was for Emperor Anlong. Try it, and in another half a month, these [-] acres of potatoes will also be harvested!

Based on her previous estimates of 150 catties per mu of potatoes, the harvested potatoes from these fields are about [-] million catties. This number is undoubtedly huge!And each mu of land requires about two hundred catties of potato seeds. Even if the entire Zhangjia Village's [-] mu of land is used for planting potatoes in the coming year, there is no need for so many potato seeds. The potatoes have not been planted yet, and they will be planted in rotation with cotton for a few years, so that fewer potatoes will be needed!

Therefore, a few days ago, she wrote a letter to her adoptive father who was far away in the capital, asking him to ask Emperor Anlong what to do with so many potatoes. It is impossible for her to sell them privately. , the price is not set by her, and she can't estimate how much those potatoes are worth for a while, but even if a catty of potatoes is compared to six yuan per catty of rice, she can still make a lot of money!
Adding these three items together, the income created is more than 3 taels, which is already a lot, but it is still far inferior to the Thirteen Fragrance Workshop in the south.

Last year, because of Jun Liyou's arrival, Zhang Xiaocao did not go south, and obediently cooperated with his clan brother Jun Lixie for treatment. Earning money is important, but it can't compare to his own body. Fortunately, Jun Lixie is really good at gynecology. There are achievements. After some careful observation and inquiry, her palace cold syndrome can still be cured, but it takes a little longer. This year has passed, and she has only recovered a little bit. Every time I come to my aunt, it still hurts. I was dying, but I didn't faint from the pain anymore!
With the efforts of Shen Nian and Qin Zhong, the Thirteen Fragrance Workshop was successfully opened, and with the face of the adoptive father, it has been peaceful this year. No one dares to make a fuss with jealousy. Lejia agent, after all, Lejia shops are open all over Yuanqing, not to mention every corner, but at least there are two or three in each state capital, and then sold by other shops, even if Shisanxiang is not all over Yuanqing , At least a dozen state capitals have spread.

She has never thought about opening a shop by herself. Thirteen incense is used as a seasoning, which can be used by ordinary people. She does not have such a large manpower, material and financial resources at present, and she does not want to be so troublesome. Well this producer, not bad at all!
Although the raw materials of Shisanxiang are all grown by herself, the price she set is not cheap. She sells it to Lejia at a price of two taels of silver a catty, and Lejia doubles it and sells it to customers. Although it is very expensive, However, it is used as a seasoning, and the amount is very small. It is enough for a small family to have three or five taels of heavy thirteen incense a year.However, poor people usually have to budget carefully for daily necessities, rice, oil and salt, so they are not good at buying them, and what they do is middle and upper class business!
Even so, after this year, Thirteen Incense Workshop has also made a lot of money, not only because of Lejia's vigorous promotion in Yuanqing, but also because of the fact that the south is close to the Daze Kingdom, and the border trade between the two countries is frequent. They did not let go of such a good opportunity. After some bargaining, they successfully signed supply agreements with several big merchants in Duoze country, and some of them were sold to Duoze. There are also tens of thousands of catties.

Thirteen Fragrances have been put into production for one year, and they have earned nearly 5 taels. That is to say, they have basically earned back all the investment in the production of Thirteen Fragrances. More and more, this is unimaginable to ordinary people, and Zhang Xiaocao does not have too much ambition, just wait for the next year to fully open the Three Kingdoms market, expand the production scale, work hard to earn money, and enjoy life.

When she finished sorting out this month's accounts, an hour had passed. She stretched and was about to go out for a walk when she saw Lan Zhi walking in with a bowl of soup.

"Girl, it's time to drink the medicine!"
