Shoufu's favored wife is sweet and sassy

Chapter 20, Jade Face Yama

"Ah, so what?"

"That's right, then why is there an emergency at the border?"

"The fifth prince loves the people and the army, but there is a jade-faced Yan Luo beside him, have you heard of it?"

"Is that the jade-faced Yan Luo who killed three thousand captives and let the common people use them as bait to take back the three cities one after another?"

"Yes, that's him. This man is the number one military division under the Fifth Prince's command. He is very strategic and will use any means to achieve his goals, but he is ruthless. The people at the border hate and fear him. They all say that he was killed by barbarians during the three-year war." There are not as many people killed by Yumian Yanluo alone!"

"Ah, then this man is a devil, so what does he have to do with the Fifth Prince?"

"Of course it has something to do with it. He belongs to the Fifth Prince, and what he did is the Fifth Prince's responsibility. Just after the imperial court's impeachment arrived, this demon actually had a direct conflict with the Prince, and was shot dead by the Fifth Prince." Already!"

"Ah? This?!"

People around widened their eyes.

"Fifth prince actually killed his favorite general? This is not a king's demeanor!"

"The fifth prince's martial arts are so high?!"

"Fifth Prince is killing relatives righteously, right?"

"Hey, that is to say, many things were ordered by Yumian Yanluo without telling the prince, but the fifth prince is also responsible and was escorted back to Beijing."

"Oh, then what?"

"And then? Then the crown prince sent his cronies to the front line, and now they are retreating steadily, and all the cities that were taken back by Yumian Yanluo have fallen. The imperial court will have to recruit soldiers soon!"

"Huh? Another conscription, my God, I have to go back quickly!"

"Oh, it's terrible, the king of Hades fights, the kid is unlucky, and in the end it's us again."

"Hush, shut up. It is said that the prince's people are everywhere in the city. They say they don't believe that Yumian Yanluo is dead, and they are looking for someone!"

"Ah? Can this be fake? Who is the jade-faced Yan Luo? What does he look like? I haven't seen the arrest warrant."

"Yan Luo with the jade face has always shown people with a mask, so you know that this person is extremely handsome, eight feet tall, and a jade tree facing the wind..."

Xiaoqing nibbled on the big meat bun with relish, while settling accounts, the gossip in her ears had nothing to do with her, it was more important to be busy with her own small business. .

Two cash for a bun, five cash for a catty of white flour, six cash for a catty of pork, and one penny for seasoning and firewood. Ten buns earn eight cash, a quarter of the profit.

A bowl of big ballast porridge costs three pennies, and pickles cost nothing.

For farmers, the corn dregs that yield a thousand catties per mu are worthless at all, and they have to pay half of the tax, which is incomparable with refined grains.

The vegetable side of pickled vegetables is even more piled up, and there is no cost.

"Brother, how much is the rent for the shop here?"

"This shop was rented early. At that time, it only cost two taels of silver, but now it's more than that."

"If you want to buy a shop like this, how much will it cost?"

"This brother really doesn't know, I have to find a dentist to find out, why, my sister wants to open a shop?"

"Well, except for the taxable part of the grain grown by our family, if the rest is sold directly, the profit will be very thin, but if it is made into finished products, the profit will be much higher."

Nowadays, apart from the busy days of farming, most of the peasant households are collecting firewood to feed chickens, cooking fire, women doing odd jobs of weaving, men diligently coming to town to find odd jobs, and those who are lazy just sitting on the kang bragging sleep well.

So don't look at the lack of manpower when the farms are busy. In fact, a large amount of idle labor is not being used.

"Sister, everything you say is right, but opening a shop is not a trivial matter. If you think it over clearly, we will do it."

For the younger sister, the eldest brother who always supports for nothing, smiles honestly, looking at his younger sister, isn't it just such a smart girl who follows all the wisdom of the old man?
"Fourth and the others are here."

From a distance, I saw one after another bullock carts coming here.
