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

Xu Jingxuan did not comment on Xu Yushi's words.

But between the Crown Prince, the Queen and the King's Uncle, even the ministers in the court can only choose one of the two if they want to take a position.

For ordinary people like them, wanting to get to know one of the parties is nothing but a pipe dream.

Under the current circumstances, the Xu family can curry favor with Feng Shiyan, and the future matters can be dealt with later.

Without any chance to stand out, how can there be a future?

However, my aunt was a woman and only knew one side of the story, so Xu Jingxuan couldn't explain it clearly to her. Therefore, he had to go to my grandfather.

After hearing what Xu Jingxuan said, Mr. Xu sighed.

"Xuan'er, your analysis is correct. But the reason why our Xu family was exiled here was because my grandfather, your great-grandfather, stood on the wrong side in the court, and your great-grandfather was implicated and came here."

"But the current situation has gradually become clear. Between the Queen and the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince has the upper hand, because Feng Shiyan drove away the Western Rong army and captured more than 100,000 people. Just to redeem the people, the Western Rong people will have to pay us a large ransom."

"In the past ten years, the Xirong people have been seriously injured and can no longer pose a threat to the Great Zhou. As a result, both the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness will have more supporters in the court. We can indeed benefit from joining His Royal Highness."

"It's a pity that your aunt didn't have this luck. She divorced He Huaiping at the most critical time when the He family was rising. Now, we can't take advantage of the He family. The He family won't let us take advantage of it either."

Xu Jingxuan couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Grandpa, what should we do? In the entire Yongning Prefecture, and even in the entire Western Territory, His Highness has the final say. Doesn't that mean my grandson will never be able to make a name for himself?"

Old Master Xu shook his head and said, "His Highness is very busy. As long as the Xu family doesn't make trouble, he won't have the time to pay attention to us. What you need to do is to study hard and pass the imperial examination with your own ability. When it's time to take advantage of someone, borrow a little."

"Your aunt is right. Whoever moves will be the target of the Queen and the Prince's forces. Although His Royal Highness has the upper hand now, no one can predict what will happen in the future. We should hold our troops in place for now, but we can ease the relationship with the He family. Otherwise, if we use people, we will move forward, and if we don't use people, we will move backward. Even if His Royal Highness wins in the future, it will be too late for us to ask the He family for help."

With Mr. Xu in charge.

Xu Yushi had no choice but to go find He Qiudi and say that she wanted to take care of the child.

He Qiudi didn't give her any chance and declined with just a few words.

After being rejected, Xu Yushi was too lazy to come again.

Anyway, she wanted to reconcile with the He family, but the He family was not happy about it, and she was too lazy to come again.

She had already made preparations to return to the provincial capital with her husband before the New Year after her confinement.

She never wanted to come to Lizhou, this sad place, again.

Never come back in your life.

It would be best if Feng Shiyan and the He family all died in Lizhou.

But she didn't know that things were not as simple as she thought...

He Qiudi was not disturbed at all by the Xu family.

Do business with peace of mind.

During her time in Lan County, she thought and thought again, and finally made "white sugar".

Due to limited technology in ancient times, it was impossible to decolorize sugar. The most common sugars on the market were basically brown sugar, or malt sugar.

Snow-white crystal sugar is almost non-existent.

Another similar product is "snow salt".

Salt and iron are controlled items. If you want to touch these two things, you have to inform Feng Shiyan.

He Qiudi made "white sugar" first.

Ordinary brown sugar sells for one hundred coins per pound, and red sugar sells for two hundred coins per pound. After making "white sugar", He Qiudi sets the price at two taels of silver per pound.

He Qiudi thought that the sugar would not be easy to sell, but once it came on the market, it was snapped up by officials and wealthy people in Lan County.

result.

County Magistrate Feng received gifts from his subordinates, including sugar.

He Qiudi thought of promoting "white sugar" as a luxury product, so he gritted his teeth and raised the price to five taels of silver per pound. As a result, it was sold out quickly after it was launched.

After asking, I found out that some wealthy businessmen planned to take the money to Lizhou, Kuncheng, Yuhufu or even the provincial capital as gifts.

This made He Qiudi decide to position sugar as a "luxury product" and no longer lower the price.

After making the first portion of white sugar, she sent a portion to Feng Shiyan.

She had mentioned the white sugar matter to Feng Shiyan, intending to cooperate with him to sell the "white sugar" all over the country, and split the profits 80:20.

She takes two.

Feng Shiyan Nabal was used to build the western border and put into the military camp.

After producing sugar three times, the business of Lanxian Inn has stabilized.

The inn in Ningyuan County is about to open.

He Qiudi returned.

This time when he came back, he brought He Huaiping's daughter with him.

Old Mrs. He received the news in advance and came to the city to see her little granddaughter.

She held her granddaughter in her arms and couldn't help feeling touched.

"Poor little girl."

Now that the family conditions are better, Grandma He is not so obviously partial between her grandson and granddaughter.

Especially when you think it through later.

He Qiudi is so outstanding. She takes He Qingya everywhere to do business. Both of them can endure the hardship. It can be seen that He Qingya is someone who can be taught well and can make a living in the future.

Women who can hold up the sky are all powerful.

Her opinion of He Qingya changed, and her attitude towards He Qinglu and Si Ya became much better.

"Have you sent a message to the second brother?"

"Mom, I've written to my second brother. But now the weather is cold, and people in the city are short of supplies to keep warm. Wei County has been hit by war, and the situation is even worse. There have been many thefts. He Huaizhang has the position of county lieutenant, but he can't manage this area well. So my second brother has to take over temporarily. He has two positions at the same time, and he's too busy to handle it."

Old Mrs. He shook her head.

"Your eldest brother always expects your second brother to help him with official matters. When it comes to enjoying life, you let your second brother do it. Write to your second brother and ask him to stop pampering your eldest brother and let him do his own things."

He Qiudi smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. I have my own arrangements for this matter."

My second brother did what He Huaizhang did.

Then promotion and wealth definitely have nothing to do with He Huaizhang.

The second elder brother had made many great contributions in Wei County, and He Qiudi had long wanted him to take the position.

However, her second brother had no achievements and was promoted too quickly, which would easily lead to criticism, so she suppressed Feng Shiyan's plan to promote her second brother to the position of Wei County Lieutenant.

After my second brother has done his job as county lieutenant and is able to win the support of the people, I will promote him to be county lieutenant, and naturally no one will dare to interfere.

After holding her granddaughter for a while, Grandma He asked, "By the way, has Si Ya been named yet?"

The names He Qingya and He Qinglu were given by He Huaizhang.

Now, we definitely cannot let He Huaizhang come to take it.

"My second brother named her Qingfen."

"Qingfen? The fragrance of elegance? Not bad, it's a good name. Your second brother is also a little educated. If the family conditions were not limited at the time, he might have continued his studies..."
