In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner

"At least I didn't take money from my family to support the Wei family. Don't forget, after we got married, when you went to participate in the autumn examination, my parents gave you money and found someone to go to the provincial capital with you. My brother has been buying things for Qingshu and Erlang in the past few years since he became the county magistrate. He was saving money to donate the county magistrate of Wei County. When the time comes, he will bring you to Wei County to be the county magistrate. Who knows..."

When talking about his wife's brother who was beheaded, He Huaizhang finally felt a little fear.

His wife's brother treats him well.

It can be said to be a dedicated effort.

but……

He Huaizhang waved his hands and said, "Forget it. I am too lazy to argue with you. Anyway, I am already the county lieutenant of Wei County. As long as I don't make any mistakes, no one can do anything to me. I am a weak scholar. If the county magistrate asks me to lead the troops to wipe out the remaining forces of the Western Rong again, I can just find an excuse not to go."

Another point.

Anyway, he is the eldest brother of the He family.

Even if He Qiudi was angry with him and ignored him, and his father and mother separated their eldest wife from him and lived separately, he would always be the eldest son and grandson of the He family.

After the He family became successful, they could not leave him behind no matter what.

When he left Pomegranate Village, he was still watching.

just now.

The power of the Queen, the King's brother-in-law, and the Crown Prince underwent tremendous changes as Feng Shiyan captured Huangquan Pass and five cities of the Western Rong outside the pass.

The Queen's side is already showing signs of decline.

It is only a matter of time before the Crown Prince ascends the throne.

Then, it is only a matter of time before Feng Shiyan becomes the crown prince.

He Qiudi and Feng Shiyan met in Wei. When Feng Shiyan returns to Beijing, he will definitely give He Qiudi a good position.

The He family also prospered.

As long as he makes sure he doesn't make any mistakes and isn't dismissed from his post, it's only a matter of time before he gets promoted to a fourth-rank prefect.

Wei Sixian looked at He Huaizhang's back and sighed helplessly.

When He Huaizhang was at a loss as to what to do with He Qiudi and took his anger out on her, she had already reached the limit of tolerance in her heart.

then.

When she married into the He family, there were many children in the family.

He Huaian and He Huaiping are not married yet, He Baozhu is not married yet, He Huaijin and He Huaibi are hungry and needy. If she doesn't help He Huaizhang to plan more, how can the benefits of the He family be given to their eldest wife first?

Later, He Huaizhang was frightened by the power of the imperial examination again and dared not to take part in it again. She also took great pains to take control of the grocery store and donated a teaching position to him.

now.

He Huaizhang enjoyed a good life.

After the incident, she took the blame alone and removed him from the picture.

But he was not grateful to her at all, instead he kept putting the blame on her.

Sure enough, men are unreliable.

He Huaiping did the same thing. In order to curry favor with He Qiudi, he divorced her even though he knew that his mother-in-law and aunt hated her.

Hard to guarantee.

For the sake of his future, He Huaizhang refused to divorce me.

After all, compared to He Huaizhang, my mother-in-law hated me more.

He Qiudi was not sure, but Huaizhang was her brother after all. She would not do anything to Huaizhang, but she would hurt herself.

Like, without blinking an eye, he cut off her finger.

She hates it.

But now she can't even count on He Huaizhang.

Why couldn't he work harder and surpass He Qiudi to gain Feng Shiyan's appreciation and favor?

Talk and talk.

Or maybe he is cowardly and incompetent, and has been spoiled by the He family and has no ability to solve problems.

No matter what happens, he either relies on his parents or his wife, or on his younger brothers and sisters, but he never tries to solve the problem on his own.

He Huaizhang walked a few steps and found that Wei Sixian didn't catch up. He turned around and shouted at her, "Are you still not leaving? You're staying here and letting He Qiudi call those guards to beat you up? Don't you even dare to keep the fingers you have left?"

"Come here."

Wei Sixian sighed and followed resignedly.

Breaking.

They must break the current situation, otherwise they will be trapped in Wei County for the rest of their lives.

He Qiudi definitely had no good intentions when he asked Feng Shiyan to arrange for the master to take up a post in Wei County.

evening.

When He Huaiping and He Huaibi came back and heard that He Huaizhang and Wei Sixian had been there, they told He Qiudi not to bother with the couple.

Since their father and mother have already separated them, the He family has no obligation to help them with their affairs in the future.

He Qiudi said that she would not be influenced by them, and He Huaiping and He Huaibi felt relieved.

He Qiudi rested for one night in Wei County and then started to busy himself with his own affairs.

The last time she came to Wei County, she was in a hurry and the city was in a mess. Apart from draining the water, she did not take a good look at the environment of Wei County.

There is a mountain here.

But Wei County is located in the mountains and has few resources. It is all rocky mountains, gravel, and no soil. No grass or trees can grow, and it is impossible to store water.

It is bare all year round. In previous years when the weather was good, you could raise sheep in the mountains, but the rest of the time, it is completely useless.

outside the city.

The environment is similar to the Gobi Desert, but slightly better. Close to Ningyuan County, there are hills and some flat land.

The people of Wei County usually make a living by grazing, growing millet, and working in the mountains.

It is actually a very poor county.

Fortunately, it is backed by a large rocky mountain, which makes it easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a natural fortress.

The imperial court cared about this fortress and stationed troops here all year round, usually with more than 2,000 people.

The soldiers will spend money in the city, and money will flow in. Although this place is poor, life is not too difficult for the people.

He Qiudi came here to visit, just to see what resources can be reasonably utilized with a modern person's eyes.

I walked around the city first.

First mark out an area suitable for opening a grocery store, and then ask Yang Jiu to help find someone to buy the store.

First buy the store, find someone to decorate it, and find good staff.

Before He Qiudi left Shiliu Village, she told He Huaian about her plan. She wrote a letter back to Shiliu Village, asking He Huaian to go to Kuncheng to purchase goods and invite a suitable shopkeeper to take charge.

Although Feng Shiyan has now taken back Huangquan Pass.

But when Wei County was breached, many people were frightened and sold their properties at a low price and moved away.

After He Qiudi selected the addresses of two grocery stores, he went to stroll around the back mountain.

In addition to sheep grazing, the resources of the back mountain also include quarrying. The collected stones are used to build city walls and nearby military construction sites, and are sent to Lan County and Jinshan County.

I recently had a fight with the Xirong people.

The five border counties had suffered destruction and needed stones to build military defenses, as well as destroyed civilian houses.

If He Qiudi wants to develop the economy of these five counties, he has to build infrastructure.

Feng Shiyan was worried about why the Western Rong people had so many captives.

It's a waste of time.

That is impossible.

Part of it has been sent to the prisoner camps throughout Yongning Prefecture, with each state taking some of it.

But tens of thousands is really too much.

Until the Western Rong ask for peace with the Great Zhou and use silver and cattle and sheep to redeem the 100,000 prisoners of war, the Great Zhou will still have to feed them.

It is impossible to eat dry rice.

He Qiudi simply let the captives under the custody of Wei County go to the mountains to mine and transport stones.

In addition to common building material rocks, there are also large amounts of limestone in the mountains.

limestone.

It can be used to burn lime.

But Wei County cannot be burned.

No fuel.

There is no water source.

It just so happened that Feng Shiyan wanted to develop Ningyuan County, and He Qiudi figured out that he could build a shortcut to Ningyuan County, transport the limestone to Ningyuan County, and then calcine it into lime.
