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

During the Chinese New Year.

He Qiudi didn't have to do anything else. She was bored and had been transcribing "Dream of the Red Chamber". Ever since she handed the first volume to Feng Shiyan, she would go into the space to transcribing it whenever she had free time. So far, she has transcribed 150,000 to 160,000 words.

last year.

She had a lot of things to do and never had much time to copy ancient Chinese texts.

This year, she will arrange her time well and try to transcribe the ancient Chinese text as soon as possible.

The New Year atmosphere at the border is very strong.

It was not until around the tenth day that more and more people began to appear on the street.

After the Lantern Festival, more and more customers came to He's grocery store and inn to dine.

In ancient times, vehicles were very slow, and once separated, many relatives might not see each other again for many years. Therefore, they attached great importance to the Chinese New Year. After a busy year, they would go back to reunite with their families, and would not come out again until after the Lantern Festival.

After the Chinese New Year, people living along the border are once again worried about this year’s rainfall and crops.

He Qiudi has already started building his own manor and ranch.

Due to drought and war, it was difficult to run a farm on the border, and many owners sold their farms. He Qiudi then took over many farms in Ningyuan County and Pei County.

After the new year.

She asked people to continue digging water reservoirs on the ranch and farm, and to raise more fish and ducks this year.

She had planned to dig a water reservoir and raise ducks since she came back from Wei County for the first time.

If the drought continues this year, it will cause a locust plague. Only by raising more ducks can we eliminate this hidden danger.

But she has a rain-making artifact, but she doesn't know whether the drought will continue. But it is better to be prepared, so He Qiudi has made some preparations.

I don’t know if it was because He Qiudi knew that her rainfall could retain the clouds over Yongning Prefecture and turn into rain, or if Yongning Prefecture was just lucky, but after the Lantern Festival, He Qiudi saw that there were many white clouds in the sky and chose to rain.

result.

This time the rain lasted for most of the day.

He Qiudi placed several vertical wooden barrels in the courtyard to measure rainfall. When the rain stopped, it turned out that the rainfall was as high as 15 mm.

This is much better than her choice of only 2 mm of rainfall.

Maybe.

There will be no drought in Yuhu Prefecture and Yongning Prefecture this year.

This is a good thing.

The continuous drizzle brings a sense of peace to people’s hearts.

The whole world is a quagmire.

He Qiudi moved to the city, where there was less mud and water, so she was not much affected when traveling.

When it rains, she doesn't have to run around several counties to release water, and her life becomes much more leisurely.

After the road surface was dried, He Qiudi couldn't help but want to go back to the village to take a look.

He Qingya was asked to arrange the mule cart, but she came back after a while.

"What happened? Did your father use the car?"

He Huaiping became the county lieutenant of Ningyuan County and now lives with them.

The He family’s mansion is under construction.

Since he hadn't found a suitable place to rent, He Huaiping could only live with his sister and daughter in the old house of the He family.

He Qingya smiled and said, "Come out and see for yourself, and you'll know."

Seeing the teasing in He Qingya's eyes, He Qiudi guessed what she had seen.

Sure enough, when she walked out, she saw Feng Shiyan walking towards her in the alley against the light.

"Time Banquet!"

Having not seen each other for a while, He Qiudi ran towards him happily.

The corners of his mouth were filled with joy from the bottom of his heart.

"You're back. How are you doing this time back in Beijing?"

Feng Shiyan reached out and brushed away the scattered hair on her forehead, with a look of genuine and pure doting on his lips.

"not bad."

"No one did anything to you, did they?"

Feng Shiyan shook his head: "No one can do anything to me."

He Qiudi said happily: "I'm glad you're okay. When you went to the capital this time, I was worried that someone would attack you."

"I can handle it."

Feng Shiyan didn't intend to hide it from her.

This time when he went to the capital, on the way back to Ningyuan County, he encountered three waves of people who came to assassinate him.

But they were all beaten back by Yang Yi and his men.

Otherwise, he should have returned to Ningyuan County a few days ago.

He Qiudi felt much more relieved.

"As long as you are safe. Your safety is more important than anything else."

"Me too."

There were people from the court, the Western Rong, and even the forces of other countries who came to capture He Qiudi.

Instead, the entire Yuhu Prefecture and Yongning Prefecture were under strict investigation, and the foreign assassins had nowhere to hide. They were caught before they could even reach Ningyuan County.

Therefore, He Qiudi can live in peace.

When Feng Shiyan returned to Ningyuan County, He Qiudi went to cook for him and made him a delicious meal, serving him the new dishes she had researched during the Chinese New Year.

Those who came back with Feng Shiyan also enjoyed themselves and tasted the new dishes introduced by He Qiudi.

After coming back this time.

Feng Shiyan began to focus on the development of Yongning Prefecture.

The matter of separating the six border counties from Ningzhou has been reported to the court.

The court agreed.

However, the imperial court would not allocate additional funds, so Yongning Prefecture had to pay for the construction of Ningyuan County and build it into the capital of Ningzhou.

Feng Shiyan became busy.

He Qiudi began to use his abilities to make money at the border.

Grocery stores and inns are spread all over the border counties, from Pei County to Licheng, and then from Licheng to Kuncheng.

It's not easy to open up the market with just soap and sugar.

After He Qiudi returned to Ningyuan County from Feng Shiyan, she made "snow salt". She cooperated with the government, and soon the snow salt became a hot seller in the provincial capital and even in the capital.

Salt and iron were indeed the important tools for the ancient government to make money. The price of "snow salt" had increased several times, but there were still a large number of orders sent to Yongning Prefecture, and a steady stream of silver and grain were transported to Yongning Prefecture.

The rainfall in Yongning Prefecture is still not much this year.

We were lucky that time because a large cloud remained and the rainfall exceeded 10 mm.

After that, such weather rarely appeared. No matter how good He Qiudi's chance of bringing rain was, he was unable to keep more rain in Yongning Prefecture.

The spring ploughing went smoothly.

If the spring farming goes smoothly, there will be no harvest even if there is a drought later.

Feng Shiyan had to take care of people's livelihood, so he traveled all over Yongning Prefecture. He Qiudi simply followed him, and wherever there was a shortage of water, she would put more water there.

He Qiudi did not return to Ningyuan County until the spring plowing was successfully completed. The manor and ranch she wanted were now built to the scale she wanted.

The spring plowing was over, and it had been more than a year since He Qiudi came to the other world.

A lot of things happened during this year.

Spring ploughing is over.

He Qiudi began to focus on winemaking.

She and Feng Shiyan set up a winery that specialized in growing grains and making wine. They used ancient distillation technology to make high-proof liquor with a clear texture and mellow aroma. Once it was unveiled, it became very popular.

Feng Shiyan directly transformed his own soldiers into several caravans, and went to major cities across the country to sell the "luxury goods" that He Qiudi got for him: sugar, white wine, snow salt, soap, scented soap, etc.

Some wealthy businessmen directly sent caravans to Ningyuan County to buy these sought-after items. As time went by, more and more wealthy foreign businessmen came to Ningyuan County. The more silver, money and grain they brought in, the better the development of Ningyuan County became.
