Blessed Daughter

Because the capital is far away from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it took some time to go back and forth. Xue Shaoyuan did not bring the news back until today.

However, the result was different from Chu Lan's expectation.

"Is there really such a person as Xu Heyou?" Chu Lan narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, my subordinates really found out the household registration information of this person, but his parents died, and he wandered around with a barefoot doctor in his early years, so there is a lot of information that cannot be tested." Xue Shaoyuan replied.

Chu Lan fell into deep thought. Could it be that he really made a mistake, that Wei Qingruo and Xu Heyou were really not the same person?

Are they just connected and that's all?

Thinking of this, my heart began to ache.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?" Xue Shaoyuan asked with concern, wanting to come forward.

"It's okay." Chu Lan waved her hand.

Chu Lan continued to say to Xue Shaoyuan: "Today, Prince Rui and his wife presented a new firearm. This weapon is powerful and will definitely have a huge impact on the court situation. You have been watching the actions of King Yu these few days."

"The subordinate understands."

After Xue Shaoyuan took the order to leave, Chu Lan got up, looked at the shelf behind him, and took down a can of winter melon tea from it.

Chu Lan didn't use it to brew, but just stared at the jar in a daze.

Xu Heyou... Are you really dead?

After that day, he had always believed that Wei Qingruo and Xu Heyou were the same person, so when he heard that Xu Heyou died, he didn't have any disturbances. He firmly believed that it was Wei Qingruo's way to get rid of the golden cicada's shell.

But now, Xue Shaoyuan has found out that Xu Heyou does have this person.

Chu Lan's hand holding the jar gradually tightened...

On the second day, the emperor couldn't wait to have people demonstrate the effect of the cannon and thunderbolt made by Wei Ruo for him. After watching it, he was very pleasantly surprised and said "God bless the great cause" twice on the spot.

That afternoon, the Emperor sent someone to Prince Rui's Mansion to inquire about Wei Jinyi's mass production. The Emperor meant that since this item was presented by Prince Rui's Mansion, it was the Mansion of Prince Rui's most proficient in understanding it, so it was intentional for Prince Rui's Mansion to be in charge of this matter.

Wei Jin also responded that he was in poor health and did not have the energy to supervise the batch construction. He hoped that the emperor would choose a prince to take on this important task, and Prince Rui's Palace would do their best to assist.

The emperor felt sorry for Wei Jinyi, and at the same time accepted Wei Jinyi's proposal, and decided to choose one of several princes to take the position.

Among them, King Yu and King Jing were naturally the most vocal.

But regardless of who gets it in the end, Prince Rui first appointed him as the head of the Du Shui Qing Officials Department of the Ministry of Industry, a sixth rank.

The head of the Department of Officials in Dushuiqing of the Ministry of Industry is not idle.

The Ministry of Industry is in charge of auditing, estimating and writing off the funds for river courses, seawalls, river defenses, ditches, water conservancy, bridges, and road projects, as well as the funds for repairing warships, ferries and other ships in various provinces, and writing off the salaries of river defense officers and soldiers.

Everyone knows that this errand is clearly appointed by Prince Rui, but in fact it may require Princess Rui to provide her professional knowledge.

At the same time, the rewards from the palace were sent to Prince Rui's Palace as Wei Jinyi said.

When he saw the reward, Wei Ruo suddenly felt that it was worth the hardship he suffered on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Miss, a lot of gold!" Xiumei was very excited.

Like Wei Ruo, Xiumei also saw gold at first sight.

"The list of rewards says a thousand taels of gold!"

A thousand taels of gold alone was rewarded, which was not considered the value of other rewards.

Among them, silk, tea, porcelain, and jewelry are all expensive and have no market, and ordinary people can't buy them even if they have money.

"Miss, it's much easier for us to make money now than before!" Xiumei couldn't help but sigh.

"really."

Back when Wei Ruo first started his family, it was very difficult to make money.

At the beginning, it sold medicinal materials from the mountains, and later sold some homemade soy sauce, fruit wine, and seasonings.

And because the market is limited, it can only be sold to other nearby farmers, and it can't be sold at a good price.

In the beginning, only Wei Ruo, Xiumei and the nanny made it in the yard by themselves. The output was very limited, and the three of them couldn't make much money even if they worked hard for a day.

After a long time, Wei Ruo saved money and bought an ox cart, which would be convenient for them to transport things to the small town for sale, but it was also because he was not familiar with the place where he was born, and he didn't even know the rules of selling things, so he was hunted down by the gangsters in the town. trouble.

Then go to the small paper-making workshop at the back and open the first Sibaozhai.

This process took Wei Ruo a full seven years.

But now, Wei Ruo's speed of making money and opening a shop has become extremely fast.

Not only because Wei Ruo has completed the most difficult primitive capital accumulation, but also because Wei Ruo's identity has changed and the people he contacts have changed.

After receiving this batch of rewards, Wei Ruo will turn these coins she loves most into assets she loves even more without saying a word.

It was already August, and the weather was about to turn cold. The large amount of supplies she purchased required cost.

How much money does she have to invest now.

When the cotton is picked, in addition to the long-staple cotton she planted herself, she also plans to purchase a batch of ordinary cotton. Although the quality is not as good as long-staple cotton, she shouldn't be picky at this time.

Originally considering the cost of funds, if Wei didn't plan to hoard a large amount of supplies in the capital, it would be enough to stock up the two large warehouses of the manor she bought in Hejian Mansion, but now with this reward, Wei If you think about it again.

Wei Ruo decided to make use of the empty yard in the backyard of the palace, stock up what can be stockpiled, and plant what can be planted.

The second brother said that she had the final say in the palace's backyard, so he wouldn't have any objection to her using the backyard room as a warehouse and the yard to grow vegetables and raise chickens, right?

August 20th.

Early in the morning, Wei Ruo was washing up when Xiumei came in and reported: "Miss, there is another person coming to Uncle Zhongyi's house."

"Oh." Wei Ruo responded calmly.

"Miss, are they here to ask for guilt?" Xiumei said.

"So what? What can they do to me?" Wei Ruo looked calm.

If those people in the Wei family were really capable, they wouldn't be like that in the original work, and they would have to suck Wei Qingwan's blood to stay alive.

Xiumei nodded heavily.

"Let them come to see me. Just like last time, arrange it in the back garden." Wei Ruodao.

"Yes, miss."

Wei Ruo didn't change his clothes, so he went to the back garden in his casual clothes.

When she arrived, several people from the Wei family had already arrived, and this time it was the Yun family and the Bai family.

"The courtier's wife (civilian woman) pays homage to the princess."

The Yun family and the Bai family paid their respects to Wei Ruo.

"No gift."

Wei Ruo bypassed the two of them, came to the pavilion and lay down on the rocking chair that had been placed.

"What are you two here for?" Wei Ruo was rocking leisurely on the rocking chair with an extremely leisurely attitude.

Yun looked at Wei Ruo with a complicated expression: "Ruo'er, what's going on with that Tiangong master? Mom has never heard of you."
