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

There are five border counties, including Ningyuan County, a total of six county towns.

Feng Shiyan had the idea of ​​merging these six counties into one state to manage them.

If the six counties are merged into one, Ningyuan County can become the provincial capital. Since it wants to be the provincial capital, Ningyuan County will have to expand its scale.

Just right.

Let the captives from these six counties build roads, repair three roads radiating from Ningyuan to Wei County, Lan County and Liu County, and then build the shortest distance road from Wei County to Lan County and finally to Liu County.

Increase mobility in these four counties.

We also need to take Jinshan County, Changning County and Huangquan Pass into consideration, as they are all large projects.

Fortunately, at the beginning of a new month, she received another 30 kilograms of pearls, gold and silver.

It is not convenient to take out the pearls anymore.

too much.

It's not worth much.

But gold can.

Thirty kilograms of gold and thirty kilograms of silver, that's two ounces of silver. This is the amount of silver she can exchange every month. It's more than enough to invest in the construction of these six counties.

Just do it.

After studying the resources of Wei County, He Qiudi wrote a letter to Feng Shiyan, saying that he wanted to first build a road from Wei County to Ningyuan County and let the prisoners of war quarry stones and build the road.

soon.

Then he got a reply from Feng Shiyan, and he agreed with this matter.

Someone will be arranged to manage it, and He Qiudi will do the rest as he wants.

After inspecting the environment in the city, He Qiudi also helped He Huaiping clear out the remaining forces of the Xirong people in Wei County.

She equipped the twenty soldiers who had followed He Huaiping through life and death with better weapons. He led his subordinates and roamed around Wei County, almost sweeping away the remaining forces of the Western Rong.

By this time, Feng Shiyan had stabilized the four cities outside Huangquan Pass. The remaining forces of the Western Rong in five counties including Wei County and Lan County were chased away like dogs. It would not take long for them to be completely wiped out.

After renovating the two grocery stores selected in Wei County, He Qiudi immediately worked to negotiate for an inn.

The inn was built according to the later model of integrated accommodation and catering.

The inn covers a large area, but He Qiudi only spent three hundred taels of silver to buy it.

It can be seen that the fall of Wei County brought great blow to the merchants, so much so that they lost confidence in the Wei County market.

He Qiudi just happened to pick up a bargain.

After taking over the inn, He Qiudi quickly drew a design and asked Yang Jiu to find someone to modify it according to her needs.

During renovation period.

He Qiudi asked a human trafficker to buy two cooks to teach them some new dishes and determine the menu for the inn.

Wei County was captured.

Many people died.

Families who could no longer bear the pain began to sell their children. He Qiudi bought a few slaves and maids through official channels. He kept two for himself and gave one each to He Qingya and He Qinglu.

Seeing that the quality of the slaves in Wei County was quite good, she bought another batch. After assessment, she sent them back to Shiliu Village to work for the He family and handed them over to He Huaian for arrangement.

after.

As the He family's business expands, they need their own people to manage it.

It would be better if there was a contract to sell one's body.

When renovating the inn, He Qiudi had not forgotten how to develop the economy of Wei County.

At this time, the remaining forces of the Western Rong people were much smaller.

She took the He Qingya sisters, Yang Liu and Yang Jiu, and the twenty elite soldiers assigned to her by Feng Shiyan, and went to Lan County.

In Lan County.

He followed the same method and bought two shops to turn into grocery stores, and bought a suitable large shop to turn into an inn, the scale of which was based on that of Wei County.

Once you find a good shop, the rest will be easy.

Yang Jiu already had experience, so she left Yang Jiu behind and took her people back to Ningyuan County.

Come back this time.

He Qiudi's main purpose was to send He Qinglu back, and he also came back to discuss future developments with He Huaian.

Before leaving, He Qiudi told He Huaian about his future plans.

He Huaian has already opened two other branches and also bought a grocery store in Pei County.

However, the housing prices in Ningyuan County are high, and purchasing a property for an inn would cost over a thousand taels of silver.

The He family does not have that much money in their account, so He Huaian cannot make a decision on his own. He has to wait for He Qiudi to come back and see if the shop he has chosen is suitable before he can make any payment.

After He Qiudi came back, he went to see the shop chosen by He Huaian.

The size of the inn is good, but the location is not as good as Yunkai Inn.

The shop facing the street is a two-story building.

Downstairs is the lobby facing the civilian population.

The second floor can be made into private rooms and provided to people in need, and the price will be higher.

There is a yard at the back with a well. Flowers and plants can be planted next to it to embellish the environment. The main house and the east and west wing rooms are rooms for guests to stay in.

There are also back rooms for the shopkeeper, waiter, and chef to live in.

It is a good house with two entrances.

At over one thousand taels, the price is not expensive.

This is also the price for buying a two-story house in Wei County.

Wait for He Qiudi to come back and make the final decision to buy it.

Once they bought the inn, the He family became even busier.

He Huaizhang's family has moved to Wei County, and the He family's house is completely empty.

After discussing with Grandpa He and He Huaian, He Qiudi decided to move the soap workshop into the He family's mansion.

Later, workers also lived here.

It is mainly convenient for management and confidentiality.

Shiliu Village is full of fellow villagers, and many of them have been looking for opportunities to hang out in the He family's backyard.

Don't let them come, or they will destroy the relationship between fellow villagers.

Let them come, but I'm worried that the soap formula will be stolen.

Moving here is the best course of action.

Moreover, you can have the butcher deliver the pork fat to your door, instead of having to get up early to get it yourself.

Besides.

The He family and the county bought a piece of barren hill near Shiliu Village in Fenghuang Mountain, planning to build a pig farm.

To make soap, a lot of lard is needed.

Buying is costly.

But if you can open your own pig farm, you can reduce the number of middlemen.

There is a lot of open space in Shiliu Village, and it is close to the river, so it is perfect for building a pig farm.

Fence the mountain and raise pigs there. The food comes from farming.

Next year, she plans to plant more sweet potatoes and corn to feed pigs.

At the same time, we also plan to grow cotton in the mountains.

Cotton seeds, she has already found a way out here at Feng Shiyan.

Feng Shiyan asked Yang Si to send her a hundred captives to help her reclaim the mountain.

The prisoners of war from the Western Rong had to work for them as long as they were given food, and they didn't need to be paid, as it would be a waste of time.

Simply.

She asked the county to take over the land in Phoenix Mountain where the bandits once lived, intending to reclaim it and grow cotton, sweet potatoes and corn.

These three crops are particularly drought-resistant and are most suitable for planting in the mountains.

Arrange matters in Pomegranate Village.

The Western Rong people submitted a peace agreement to the Great Zhou and sent envoys to the capital of the Great Zhou to negotiate terms.

The court originally hoped that Feng Shiyan would accompany the delegation to Beijing, but he refused.

He is the eldest son of the royal family, has military merits to his name, and has the support of the crown prince. None of the ministers in the court can do anything about him and can only let him continue to stay in the western border.

Some people in the court wanted to accuse him of disobeying the imperial order, hunting down the Western Rong people, and destroying the peace between the two countries, but they failed.
