Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

From the twelfth lunar month to the fourth day of the first lunar month, Qi Qingxi was busy.

Either as a guest at other people's houses for entertainment, or as a banquet for relatives and friends at your own home.

It finally came to the fifth day of the new year, the annual vacation was over, and the court meeting was reopened.

Qi Qingxi was finally able to sleep peacefully.

But being able to sleep well does not conflict with her still need to be busy with her day, but what she has to be busy with now is no longer the huge pile of accounts before.

It has been 23 years of Qianning.

The once-in-a-century cold wave in the book will gradually show its signs this year, and Emperor Qitai's illness will also gradually become incurable from this year.

Even Li Qining has been caught by Li Qiming one after another since this year, gradually losing the trust of Emperor Qitai...

It can be said that the 23rd year of Qianning is a very critical year.

Although many things have changed due to her intervention, she dare not take it lightly when it involves the lives of her and Gu Yu's relatives.

Qi Qingxi didn't care about the battle between An Wang Li Qiming and Qi Wang Li Qining. After all, even if Li Qiming overthrew Li Qining, he would not be able to surpass Emperor Qitai to deal with Ningguo Houfu.

So the most important thing now is the poisoning of Emperor Qitai.

Now that it is [-]% sure that the poison poisoned by Emperor Qitai is exactly the same as that poisoned by Princess An, then only one-third of the matter needs to be solved by finding the Western Region businessman and determining what poison it is.

The other two-thirds need someone to expose the poisoning to Emperor Qitai in the early stage of his poisoning and find out who poisoned him.

Of course, it would be best if she could find the poisoner first.

Qi Qingxi asked Fan Qingshan to find Fan Qingshan in a restaurant in Xisi Pailou, and asked him to find out in private how many Western Region merchants there are in the city, and what kind of business these Western Region merchants each do.

Fan Qingshan accepted the task very readily.

Now he has successfully entered a restaurant to work, and he is even quite appreciated by shopkeeper Wang, but there is still a long way to go before being accepted as an apprentice by shopkeeper Wang.

He was worried that because his movements were too slow, Miss Qi would be called, no, she should be called Mrs. Gu now.

When he was worried that he would be forgotten by Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Gu asked him to come to the house and arranged an errand for him. How could he not be proactive.

Qi Qingxi was also very satisfied with Fan Qingshan's straightforwardness.

Then there is the cold wave.

When the cold wave comes, climate change cannot be stopped by manpower, and after the cold wave, there will be a severe drought.

The only thing that can be done is to adapt to climate change and sow crops suitable for the season.Therefore, when the cold wave comes, it is necessary to sow cold-resistant and high-yield crops.

But she is very soft-spoken, even if she tells others that there will be a natural disaster, no one will believe her.

She can't control others, but she can control herself.

In her impression, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and peanuts are cold-resistant and high-yielding crops.

Corn is common in the market today, and she has seen peanuts, but she has never seen potatoes or sweet potatoes.

Qi Qingxi is going to visit Shao Hua's house.

The business of Shao Hua's family is spread all over the Northwest, and they often deal with businessmen from the Western Regions, so they may be able to find the seeds of these crops.

What's more, there are often caravans going to Nanyang on the southeast coast, and you should be able to find some unexpected things there.

After she found those seeds, she planned to find a few Zhuangzi to write back money to the farmers inside, just like she asked Uncle Liu's family in Ningyuan Village to help grow peppers.

After several years of vigorous promotion in her restaurant, it has gradually been accepted by the public, and even more and more farmers have begun to grow peppers.

Qi Qingxi plans to use the same method to promote these new types of crops. As long as the farmers see the benefits and the officials in the court are not vegetarians, she naturally doesn't have to worry about the rest of the matter. This is all she can do. many.

And she didn't do this for anything else, just to pray for her family and hope that there will be a spirit in the heavens, so that her relatives and friends who died innocently and tragically in the original book can have a happy ending.

Qi Qingxi found a day to visit Shao Hua's house.

It would be better to come early than coincidentally, just in time for Shao Hua to go out with the caravan.

It's just that this time it's not going to the northwest, but to the southeast Asia.

An old friend of Shao Hua built a big boat and planned to transport a batch of silk porcelain to Nanyang for sale. It is said that many Westerners in Nanyang like these things, and they are willing to spend money to buy them.

Qi Qingxi has no doubts that Westerners are willing to spend money on silk and porcelain.

It was said in the history textbooks of her time that the export of these silk and porcelain caused Western countries to have a trade deficit with China.

Even in order to reverse the unfavorable situation of trade deficit with China, those countries began to send opium to China, which triggered the Opium War, which was also an important reason for the collapse of the dynasty at that time.

One can imagine how lucrative the sale of silk and porcelain is in this era.

If there is a chance, Qi Qingxi would like to get involved and make a fortune.

It's just that opportunities also come with risks, and many things at hand have not been resolved, and she doesn't have that much thought on business.

After expressing her admiration for Shao Hua, Qi Qingxi also entrusted Shao Hua with the matter of finding seeds. She gave a rough description of the appearance of these farms and wrote them down on paper to Shao Hua.

She knows that Nanyang is rich in spices, as well as many unique medicinal materials and handicrafts.

Qi Qingxi also asked Shao Hua to help her buy some of these things, and if it was convenient to carry, he would also help her collect more western things.

She is actually very curious about the development of Western technology in this era, and she even asked Shao Hua to help her collect some Western books.

The more she talked, the more she felt that she should actually go there in person.

Qi Qingxi was immersed in her own world, and it took a while to realize that Shao Hua and his wife were staring at her.

Only then did she realize that she had made too many demands and made people feel embarrassed.

Although it was unlucky for her to think so, she had indeed seen a lot of news about the salvage of sunken ships in the South China Sea.

Again, there are opportunities and risks.

What's more, it's a bit too much for her to make so many demands at the risk of others.

She looked at Shaohua and his wife apologetically: "Fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law don't pay attention to what I said later, all I need is for fourth brother to help me find out if there are those seeds."

Shao Hua and his wife looked at each other and smiled.

Shao Hua said: "I went to see my friend's boat. It's big. It's not a problem to bring back the things you mentioned. We're just curious..."

Qi Qingxi: "What are you curious about?"
