After rebirth and marriage, the sick prince is fine again

When Manager Wu saw Su Jinhua and the other two coming so early, he was stunned.

"Greetings to the Crown Princess."

Just as Manager Wu was about to salute, he was supported by Banxia.

"Uncle Wu, you're welcome. Is your leg feeling better?"

Manager Wu smiled gently and nodded, "Thank you for the medicine, Princess. My leg is indeed much better."

Su Jinhua nodded and looked at the ground with Manager Wu.

It didn't look like there had been any snow in recent days, so Su Jinhua took a look around and asked about the specific situation in the nearby town.

The name of this town is Yunling Town. People here have lived off the mountains for generations. Perhaps because this place has many talented people and good feng shui, the local people have gradually become wealthy and few people go into the mountains anymore.

Only occasionally would villagers from nearby go into the mountains.

After Su Jinhua learned about it, he took a look at a few pieces of tilled land, thought about it, and then took Manager Wu to the study to discuss it.

"Uncle Wu, this is the planting booklet I wrote. It contains the medicinal herbs suitable for planting in this season."

"I have written down in the book how to plant and what the soil requirements are."

Uncle Wu opened the book. The information in the book was extremely detailed, with the parts that required attention being written in red cinnabar.

I was worried that planting in this winter season would be a waste of time and suspected that Su Jinhua was doing something wrong, but now I am completely relieved.

"If the results are good, please negotiate with the surrounding clinics."

"Don't worry, Princess. Just leave this matter to me."

Manager Wu carefully put the book away.

"Then I'll trouble Uncle Wu."

After Su Jinhua finished speaking, he thought Manager Wu would leave.

But he still stood there, with an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Uncle Wu, what's wrong?"

Manager Wu sighed and nodded, "Princess, it is like this. The servants hired by the medicine shop are all from nearby villages."

"Working in the middle of winter is exhausting and has delayed family matters, so everyone wants to increase the monthly salary, but we also need to consider the situation in the mansion."

Su Jinhua frowned slightly and tapped the table lightly with her slender white fingers.

"Uncle Wu, how much monthly salary do you give them?"

"The medicine shop doesn't have much land, and they are quick and nimble. They can finish the work before dusk, and they provide lunch at noon, so they get one tael of silver a month."

Su Jinhua groaned: "The harvest this year is not good."

Manager Wu was stunned. He didn't expect Su Jinhua to notice this. He nodded and said, "Yes, it rained a lot this summer. When it rained, the crops suffered."

"I understand. Uncle Wu, let me think about this matter carefully and give you an answer tonight, okay?"

"it is good."

"Uncle Wu, you will be needed to appease them. The Marquis' Mansion will not treat them unfairly, so please rest assured."

"The Crown Prince's Consort is kind-hearted, and everyone is relieved."

He also distributed some of the ointment that Su Jinhua gave him yesterday, and those who received it were naturally grateful.

It can not only soothe people's hearts, but also make people in the manor feel more at ease, and it also creates a good impression for the Crown Prince's Consort in their hearts.

After Manager Wu left, Su Jinhua lowered his head in deep thought. Banxia added charcoal fire, and the room became warm.

She didn't understand these things, so naturally she didn't dare to interrupt. She could only wait quietly for instructions.

……

The night was silent and deep. The cold wind blew, bringing with it gusts of icy air, as if to freeze the entire village.

The branches swayed in the wind, making rustling sounds, as if telling of the coldness of winter.

Manager Wu was invited by Yucui to the study, and Su Jinhua sat upright in the first seat.

"Banxia, ​​bring a chair to Uncle Wu."

"Yes."

After Wu Guanshi sat down, he nodded and asked, "Have you thought of a solution, Princess?"

Su Jinhua nodded, "There are many rare herbs in the mountains nearby. If we can pick them and plant them, we can not only supply the needs of the Marquis' Mansion, but also sell them to other places to increase our income."

"Nowadays, when medicine shops grow medicinal herbs, they also need medicinal seedlings, and picking them is also a feasible method."

Manager Wu pondered for a moment and said, "What the Crown Princess said is very true, but picking herbs is not an easy task. It requires manpower and time, and we also have to consider the planting and maintenance of herbs."

"I have already thought about all this. We don't have to work hard to find people to pick the fruits. The farmers we hire are from the village. We can just ask them to pick the fruits."

"The herbs I picked are extra income, which can just balance these two expenses."

After Su Jinhua finished speaking, he took out a blueprint from the desk and handed it to Manager Wu, "This is the medicinal material illustration I drew. Take a look and see if it is feasible."

Manager Wu took the blueprint and examined it carefully. After a moment, he looked up at Su Jinhua with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "The Crown Princess is indeed attentive. This herbal medicine atlas is very detailed. Even the growth habits of each herb and its distribution are clearly marked."

"As long as Uncle Wu thinks it's feasible, we can start preparing." Su Jinhua said, and picked up a stack of banknotes from the desk and handed it to him, "This is the money I plan to use to buy medicinal seeds and pay the pickers' wages. Uncle Wu, do you think it's enough?"

Manager Wu took the banknote, took a look at the amount, and immediately took a breath of cold air, "Princess, this money is enough for us to open another good farm."

Su Jinhua smiled and shook his head. "Uncle Wu, you are too kind. The purpose of opening a medicine shop is to increase income, not to make money, so we must be thrifty and spend every penny wisely."

Manager Wu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Princess, I will definitely follow your instructions."

"The herbs we pick will be charged by kilogram. We will charge whatever the clinic charges. Uncle Wu will take care of this."

"Yes."

Manager Wu took the money and went downstairs.

Banxia said at the side: "Miss, this is all saved by your frugality."

"Only if you are willing to sacrifice something can you get a better return. Even if you open a small shop, you must invest enough money to improve it, so that you can gain more."

"This is the same as growing crops."

Su Jinhua took a sip of tea and Banxia benefited a lot from what he said.

Yucui nodded repeatedly as she listened.

……

After Su Jinhua's idea was implemented, the servants naturally stopped complaining and began to think about picking herbs.

It was already very late when they finished their work, and it was winter, so if they were worried that it would be unsafe to stay there too late, they would stay overnight in the farm.

Although they sometimes can't go back, their family members still go up the mountain.

In fact, working in the manor of the marquis's residence is not that tiring. Manager Wu is kind-hearted and doesn't scold much.

The idea of ​​raising monthly wages was proposed because they had no other choice.

When they heard that the real owner of the farm had arrived, he not only rewarded them with ointment, but also offered to sell them herbal medicine.

They were farmers who made their living from the mountains and knew a thing or two about medicinal herbs. This was a chance for them to make money for free, and they felt even more grateful to their boss.

Compared with the increase in monthly wages, for these farmers who are in urgent need of money.

It would be better if the medicinal materials were delivered and harvested on the same day, which would be a timely help.
