After the villains heard my voice, they all lost their composure.

The wheat harvest has begun, and the whole Yongcheng city is a little restless. After all, this has never happened before. Many city residents or people who did not get wheat seeds last year spontaneously went to watch the excitement.

The people of the Yong family and the Yamen are busy again. This wheat harvest is extremely important to them. If the harvest is really good, if the second farming is not delayed, Yongcheng will be even more prosperous in the future.

In addition to the wheat harvest, the yamen will also follow up on the results of the grain grown according to the farming methods provided by the yamen last year. If it is really better than previous years, it will also be vigorously publicized.

This busy Yan Mu'an has not seen the three Yong brothers for almost half a month, but she has not been idle these days. The capital and Yongcheng are connected by ship, and countless ships travel between the two places. The first batch comes from the capital. The ship had arrived, and Yan Mude was among them, bringing her news that was inconvenient to tell in a letter.

Earlier, the cooperation method with Yu Zhu and others had achieved good results, and the harvest was better than in previous years. Although the extra part was given to the steward, Yongxingxing did not get any benefits, but all the stewards delivered the goods as expected. Food is enough.

Yan Mude now has a large amount of grain in his hands. In addition, he has been actively investing in various businesses outside. Although he has not seen the money back, the harvest is not far away, and everything is developing in a good direction.

This time I came here for the Hengtong ticket number.

"It is normal for Hengtong Bank to want to increase the amount of external borrowing. When the opportunity comes, you should seize it, but you must be prudent. I still have the same opinion as before, not to seek huge profits, but not to lose money."

As merchants have more contacts, the demand for borrowing will also be greater. If Hengtong Bank wants to get a share of this pie, it must increase its investment.

Yan Mu'an said that all loans must be mortgaged, and Yan Mude said that Hengtong Bank opened a pledge bank to take advantage of the situation. "Anyone who cannot repay the bank's money within the time limit will have his mortgage sold."

"There's a loophole in this."

Yan Mu'an raised his eyes, "The pledge will definitely be sold at a lower price. If someone deliberately borrows money and fails to repay it, and then secretly asks someone to buy back the pledge, he will make a fortune."

Yan Mude knew, "The ticket number you are worried about has been thought of, so the loan is only half of the pledged price. In this way, no matter what happens, you can get your money back and you won't lose money."

In this way, Yan Mu'an said that she was worrying too much. She really couldn't underestimate the wisdom of these people. They were very thoughtful and there was no need for her at all.

"I have something to tell you."

Still talking about the Land of Chaos, the King's letter said that the land of Chaos is vast. Unfortunately, a large amount of land has been left desolate and uncultivated by centuries of chaos. The number of people in the Land of Chaos has also been decreasing year after year due to the war. Even if they have the intention to cultivate a large amount of land, they are unable to do so. She feels that This is opportunity.

"If we can take this opportunity to acquire a large amount of land, we really won't have to worry about anything in the future."

This time she planned to buy it in the name of the palace, so that the palace would have a stable income. How long could she collect the benefits alone?

Must walk on multiple legs.

This is first-hand news. Yan Muan is almost certain that if the news is made public, many merchants will rush into the chaotic place to seize the land. Yan Mude also thinks the same, and after asking Yan Muan for more detailed information, he was moved.

But there is still a thorny problem before him. It is easy to get the land, but no one is cultivating it. There is no one in hand.

Yan Mu'an frowned lightly. This was really a problem. Her second uncle had bought some land before and needed the manpower from General Qiu Shen. Moreover, he had to be a manager last time. The demand was not big, but This time we are going to farm, how many people are needed?

"Why do I feel like everything has gone smoothly these past two years?"

Not even refugees.

Yan Mude smiled and said: "I heard that the winter warming tent that was built in the capital earlier was pushed back by the imperial court. From now on, all beggars or refugees in the capital will be resettled in the villages below. If there is no room for them in the village and there are too many refugees, I will open a separate village next time. There are no beggars in the city now. Once found, they will be sent to Xishui Village immediately."

So it’s even harder to find someone.

Yan Muan's eyes flashed and he thought of a way. There should be a lot of people in jails in various places. If they were used for farming, their sentences could be reduced if they behaved well. However, this method was not suitable now. They had to wait until the news about the chaotic land was made public.

Another thing is to rob people, how to rob, where to rob, that is knowledge.

"I will think of a way to deal with the people first, and you should also prepare. Once I have people, you will immediately arrange for them to go."

Yan Mude nodded, and went to look for Yan Huaiqing without spending any more time at the palace.

As more and more ships came from the capital, Yongcheng became more and more lively. The wheat harvest also came to fruition. It was almost as expected. The yield per mu was about 400 kilograms. This was the first time for the local people to farm and they had little experience. If there are more varieties in two years, I'm afraid the number will be even higher.

The people were happy, grateful to the imperial court, and had a good impression of the Yong family. It was at this time that Prince Longqing arrived on the ship.

Yan Mu'an was in charge of receiving the people who arrived at the palace first. Prince Longqing did not rest as soon as he arrived. Instead, he asked about the situation in the chaotic land. The emperor told him some, but he thought Yan Mu'an knew more.

Yan Mu'an told everything he knew and didn't hide anything, "I don't know much about this matter. The prince's whereabouts are uncertain, so I can't give him any information."

"Yong Yu and Magistrate Yang have already gone there first, and the people of the Yong family in Yongcheng are also ready."

Prince Longqing also brought a lot of people this time, and Yan Muan prepared extra money for him, "My second uncle has a caravan that went to the chaotic land, and the Yong family also has it. There shouldn't be a big problem with the exchange of goods, but There’s no harm in bringing a little extra silver.”

Seeing a box of silver and a few boxes of gold, Prince Longqing admired her a little. He felt that she was as righteous as her mother. However, in the next sentence, Yan Mu'an said: "These boxes of gold are for my prince. You know , my prince will never be rich, so help me hand it over to him when you see him."

Prince Longqing paused for a moment, then smiled. He instantly understood that the box of silver should be paid for his hard work, "Your Majesty, you are so lucky."

Yan Mu'an nodded seriously. Isn't it a great blessing for the widowed king to meet her?

At this moment, the people of the Yong family in Yongcheng have arranged for people to sweep up and down, and the three Yong brothers are rubbing their hands excitedly. When people come, the titles representing them also come. How can people not be happy?

Mrs. Yongjiu stepped forward and said, "Master, we have made preparations for the trip. Do you really don't need me to go?"

With the title in hand and the time for departure, Yong Jiuye said: "There are still many things that cannot be done without you in Yongcheng. When the place becomes stable, I will take my wife there. I will need your help in the future."

Since he changed his wife, Yong Jiuye feels that his whole life has become better and everything goes smoothly. He also knows that this wife is capable. This time when he went out, even the Zizhu Gang was temporarily handed over to her, which shows his trust.
