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

Although Feng Shiyan did not go to the capital with the delegation, he arranged for his own people to accompany them and put forward conditions for peace talks with the Western Rong people.

The compensation was 500,000 taels of silver, 20,000 cattle, 30,000 horses, and 100,000 sheep.

As for the prisoners of war, they will be given ten taels of silver each and will be released to the Xirong people as soon as they are paid.

If they were unwilling to pay, the prisoners of war would be taken into custody and sold to various parts of the country as official slaves, or even sold abroad.

The time given to the Xirong people is only before the beginning of next spring. After the beginning of spring, spring ploughing will be carried out all over the country. He will sell these 100,000 prisoners of war as official slaves to increase the young and strong labor force for the country.

Don’t wait until the time comes.

The conditions for negotiating peace and returning the prisoners of war were Feng Shiyan's own idea.

These 100,000 people are the young and strong men of the Western Rong.

Whether they were detained as official slaves or redeemed by the Western Rong people with silver, they all made a profit.

Moreover, Feng Shiyan had no intention of handing over the ransom for the 100,000 prisoners of war to the imperial court. Instead, he planned to keep it for the construction of Yongning Prefecture.

Calculate the time.

The inn in Wei County should be renovated and ready for business.

He Qiudi went to Wei County again.

This time, He Huaian came over and wanted to take a look at the inn's business model.

He has to go out often.

The recipe for making soap was taught to Grandpa He, Grandma He and Jin Cuihua.

Among them, whoever is more convenient to come to the soap workshop will complete this most critical step.

It's nothing that Grandma He and Grandpa He could learn the formula, but the fact that Jin Cuihua could learn the soap formula moved Jin Cuihua and everyone in the Jin family so much.

They cried and shouted, saying that they would remember He Qiudi's kindness forever, and that they would do whatever He Qiudi asked them to do in this life.

This made He Qiudi feel a little helpless.

She taught them everything without reservation.

Originally, I wanted to be reserved and develop slowly and discourteously.

But after a battle, her mentality changed.

If the He family develops earlier, it can help more people, so she will use her abilities as much as possible to help the He family develop and also help the six counties in the western border develop well.

After teaching Old Lady He and the others how to make soap, He Qiudi brought He Qingya, He Huaian and He Huaijin to Wei County.

He Huaijin won the first place in the case and originally wanted to go out and travel to broaden his horizons.

As a result of the war, this idea had to be put on hold temporarily.

just now.

The remaining forces of Xirong were almost defeated, so He Huaijin wanted to come out and take a look.

Compared with He Huaibi, He Huaijin is indeed a weak scholar. Fortunately, he inherited the genes of Grandpa He and has some basic knowledge and good physical fitness. He has studied with He Huaibi for many years and has been influenced by him, so he knows some kung fu.

It may not be good for killing enemies in battle, but it is no problem for strengthening the body.

Several people arrived in Wei County.

First I went to the post station and met He Huaiping and He Huaibi. The two brothers had already made many contributions.

In Wei County, he has accumulated a lot of reputation.

We haven't seen each other for two or three months.

The four brothers got together again, and they were almost crying.

Who could have thought that so many things happened in just two months when He Huaiping and He Huaibi went to visit relatives in Lan County.

From autumn to now winter.

Their He family has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

Fortunately, everything got through.

Feng Shiyan led everyone to drive out the bandit-like Western Rong people, recaptured Huangquan Pass, and occupied four cities of the Western Rong people.

He Qiudi also cooked for her brothers herself so that they could have a good reunion dinner.

He Qiudi entered the city the next day.

The people Yang Jiu found were pretty good, and the scale of the renovated inn was similar to the design she drew.

Now that she was here and confirmed that the inn was well decorated, the opening was put on the agenda.

After discussion, they chose the nearest auspicious day to open the business.

He Qiudi, He Huaian and He Qingya began to prepare for the opening of the inn.

Determine menu, purchase, and promotion.

The reason why we brought He Qingya along was because it was He Qingya herself who suggested it.

After a period of calm, He Qingya let go of all the grudges against the He family, but she could not let go of her hatred for Li Lihua. Li Lihua came from a noble family and had a good relationship with the eldest princess's daughter Rong Fangfei. It would not be easy for her to defeat her on her own.

She has to rely on the He family and He Qiudi.

In the future, my aunt is going to be an imperial concubine, and there will definitely be many things that are inconvenient for her to do by herself, so He Qingya decided to do them for her.

Although she is a woman and not very smart or capable, she has decades of experience, which is enough to make her more successful than ordinary people, and the same is true in business.

In the future, when my aunt builds up the He family's business, it will be very tiring for my third uncle and my aunt to rely on it alone.

She can also lend a hand and travel around the country to check the market conditions.

It is enough to have my sister-in-law giving advice and making decisions behind the scenes.

Before they came here this time, He Huaian bought a lot of goods from Licheng, and they just checked for missing items and filled in the gaps.

Winters in the West are cold.

The main menu of the inn is still hot pot.

We mainly make two kinds of hotpot: chicken and mushroom soup, and mutton bone soup.

For side dishes, we use whatever side dishes we can buy in Wei County.

In addition to hot pot, we also make a few signature dishes: braised lamb, dry pot lamb, braised pork, fried bacon, drunkard peanuts, etc.

Added desserts that He Qiudi taught the cooks to make: mung bean cake, wife cake, red bean paste cake, peanut crisps, etc.

Wine. He Qiudi hasn’t studied wine yet.

This is the wine made by Old Lady He. She had previously taken it to the grocery store to sell, and now it is being transported to Wei County to be sold to the inn.

Old Mrs. He’s craftsmanship is pretty good. The wine she makes is more mellow than the ordinary wine on the market.

As for vegetables, they were transported from Pomegranate Village.

After autumn harvest.

There is no shortage of water in Shiliu Village. Shiliu Village and its villagers grow a lot of vegetables. The He family grows a lot of radishes and cabbages for winter. They were worried before that they would not be able to eat them all, but now they can provide them to the inn.

As for publicity.

That’s even easier to say. Any propaganda method of the new era can be spread throughout the streets and alleys of Wei County.

Opening day.

The inn's business was extremely hot. Officials in the city all came to dine out of respect, and wealthy people who could afford it all came to join in the fun.

Wei County is not a transportation fortress, so not many people stay at the inn, but there are quite a few people eating there. After all, the dishes in the inn are He Qiudi's unique secret recipes, and the cook has a contract to sell her body, so no one dares to leak anything.

After ten days of opening, the business stabilized.

In these ten days alone, the turnover was nearly three hundred taels.

Apart from the first three days which were the peak period of business, the business had a turnover of about twenty taels every day thereafter. After deducting various costs, the profit was more than two hundred taels a month.

This is very objective.

When the He family first started making soap, they didn’t even make such a high profit in a month.

Now an inn can make so much profit. In the future, if inns are opened in the six counties in the western border, the inns alone can make the He family thousands of taels a month.

The He family is about to develop thoroughly!

After He Huaian and others came to Wei County, He Huaizhang came to him, hoping that he could help lobby and reconcile the relationship between him and He Qiudi.
