The first New Year in Qingchun City was spent in a sea of joy. Chen Wenhui also celebrated with the people. However, in this prosperous area, laughter, there are also bloody things reported.

Jian Da is a man of action, and ever since Chen Wenhui gave the killing order to those natives, Jian Da and his sergeants have found a good way to make money. Many sergeants, especially those veterans who came down from the battlefield, were used to seeing blood, and now let them kill the natives who were extremely poorly equipped, which was really a piece of cake.

Of course, this matter is really the same as Chen Wenhui expected. Those sergeants who were born as guards with high martial arts skills had not experienced this, and they vomited in the dark, but after a few bloody experiences, they had been tempered. Seeing those sergeants whose eyes were obviously much more mature, Chen Wenhui was very satisfied. That's the kind of escort she wants.

Of course, the second point of Chen Wenhui's vision was also realized, and many natives were captured alive and brought to Qingchun City. Added new blood to the source of slaves in Qingchun City. However, for these wild and untamable natives, ordinary people are reluctant to buy them, because these natives do not know the language of Chu, they are dark and thin, and many of them are still wearing fur and are like savages. Chen Wenhui didn't care either, the City Lord's Mansion came forward and bought it back once. Now there is a shortage of people in the city lord's mansion, and there is a shortage of people everywhere in quarries, mines, and construction sites. These natives are incomparable to the barbarian prisoners of war. Chen Wenhui has no sympathy for these people, so they are all sent to the mine to mine, and the quarry to open the mountain to quarry.

Some of the sergeants who made money from this went to buy drunk, so the liquor in the city sold quickly. Some went to the city lord's yamen to buy land. Buying Japanese slaves, they also wanted to buy an estate in Qingchun City.

In such a bustling, soon, the year passed.

Chen Wenhui did not rest during the Chinese New Year, and many things were waiting for her to do. She didn't care about preparing gifts for her relatives at all. Fortunately, her maids are all capable. I have already prepared a gift to pack and send out. Among them, there are for Bai's Chen Yuanheng. There are for Chen Wenjun Wan Meizhen, and there are also for Chen Wenlin. There are also for the pearl and Mrs. Hu in the capital. When preparing these, Yujin also said to Chen Wenhui: "Girl." We arrived at the beginning of this year, and we were in a hurry, so we didn't prepare for the New Year's festival in time. By the time these things are delivered to the capital, I'm afraid that the first month will be over. I think. Do we need to prepare in advance next year? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "No, you remember this matter, you must prepare in advance next year, I think we will prepare in November." In this way, before the Chinese New Year, all the gifts can be delivered to relatives. By the way, you have to add another copy of the queen's gift to the gift. There is also a share of Shi Guifei. There is also a share from my master, Master Qiu. ”

Yujin hurriedly asked, "How to prepare the gifts for the queen and the concubine?" By what standard? ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it and said, "Just prepare some novelties for the queen that we bought from Xinguang City, mainly some clothes and the like." The stone concubine is some embroidery from our own workshop. In the first year, I could think that they were already good, and they wouldn't pick on me. After all, we're still creating, aren't we? ”

Yujin hurriedly went to prepare.

Chen Wenhui looked through her warehouse catalog, and she wanted to prepare a gift for Zhao Chongyi, which made her worried. After thinking about it, in the end, Chen Wenhui asked the best embroiderer in the workshop to make a few clothes for Zhao Chongyi, and also drew four pictures of the scenery of Qingchun City for Zhao Chongyi. There are ports, cities, houses and streets under construction, and Chen Wenhui's small yard. Of course, Chen Wenhui is in every picture scroll.

These gifts were not received until March, when Zhao Chongyi received. Looking at those clothes with delicate stitches, of course he knew that this could not be made by Chen Wenhui himself. However, as long as Chen Wenhui thinks about him, whether he does it himself or the craftsmanship of the embroidery girls, Zhao Chongyi is as happy. However, compared to these clothes, those four picture scrolls made Zhao Chongyi feel like a treasure. Although he was in Saibei, seeing those picture scrolls, Zhao Chongyi seemed to have come to the South Seas with coconut wind and blue sea, and saw Chen Wenhui, who was busy working.

Of course, the discovery of Chen Wenhui's figure in the picture scroll also surprised Zhao Chongyi. Because Chen Wenhui handles her appearance very secretly, she usually mixes in the crowd, or shows a small face in a cabin. This made Zhao Chongyi not find out at the beginning. However, he was also happy to see his sweetheart's current living environment. When he's not working, he likes to take out these paintings and look at them. After seeing a lot, I accidentally saw a face in the crowd that was very familiar, and then took a closer look, wasn't it the shadow that I thought about day and night? This discovery made Zhao Chongyi very pleasantly surprised, and he hurriedly found all four picture scrolls and looked at them carefully. Only then did they all discover Chen Wenhui's shadow.

Zhao Chongyi couldn't help but be stupid. What a smart man, what a bold confession. It seems that he is not unrequited love, Chen Wenhui's heart is the same as him. Such thoughts have always warmed Zhao Chongyi.

Chen Wenhui was in Qingchun City and did not know the influence of these scrolls on Zhao Chongyi. At this moment, she has just finished the New Year with the people of the city, and she is presiding over the opening ceremony of the school. The opening of the school has given the children of Qingchun City the knowledge of local studies. In the future, we will be able to cultivate more talents. Second, many parents or grandparents who take care of their children have been liberated, and these people still have labor, and the liberated labor force will suddenly join the construction of the city. Because every place in the city is hiring. There are workshops, there are road builders, there are pulp washers, there are cooks, and there are construction projects.

Gui Jinxia's mother-in-law, Mrs. Luo, doesn't have to take care of her grandson and granddaughter, so she officially became a hired worker in Gui Yuxia's family. In addition to her, Gui Yuxia also found three mothers-in-law, and now there are four people, each of whom has been assigned a good job, some cook for the Japanese slaves and the big cows, some wash the Japanese slaves, some wash the two of them and their husbands and wives, and clean the yard, the main house and the podium of the Japanese slaves. So it's well arranged. Mrs. Luo, who has made money, has a particularly strong sense of satisfaction in her heart. In the past month of doing it a year ago, she got a tael of silver paper, and during the Chinese New Year, Gui Yuxia wrapped her a red envelope of one or two silver papers. At this moment, Mrs. Luo earned back the two taels of silver that she was fined for her mistakes. A big stone in my heart was finally put down. Now I can still make money every month, and this day is much more comfortable than in Dachu. Of course, it would have been better if the stewardship had been returned to her.

Gui Jinxia is now a first-class embroiderer. After the New Year, she applied to take an apprentice, and it was quickly approved. Her candidates are all ready-made, the five little girls who used to learn technology from her every day at her home. Because these five already have some foundation, they suddenly passed the exam in the house and became a third-class embroidery girl. The families of these five girls are very satisfied. Thank you to Gui Jinxia again. Gui Jinxia herself is also very happy, because she is now a little steward, and she has a monthly money of five taels of silver a month. This would have been enough for a family to spend a year if it had been left on hold.

However, Gui Jinxia still has a plan in her heart. On this day, Gui Jinxia said to her husband Gui Hu: "I have now become a little steward, and I can withdraw half a year's salary at once, which is thirty taels of silver." Also, as a steward, I was able to take out a loan, and we used to buy 300 acres of land with the 500 taels of silver that the eldest sister helped us guarantee the loan. Now that you've cleared the land, we've sold some timber for some money. Now you have basically finished all the work in the fields with the Japanese slaves, and the sweet potatoes have been planted, and you have completely controlled the line to buy some more land to clear the wasteland. During the Chinese New Year, I heard the eldest sister say, Brother Da Niu said, in the future, the price of our land in the city will rise, and when the time comes, their family is ready to sell the land, so they have agreed to a lot of more than 3,000 acres of land far away from the city. That's what will be the manor in the future. They also calculated for me that if the price of their family's 500 acres of land increased, they would be able to repay the money owed to the bank with that money, as well as the eldest sister's monthly money, and the money they earned from selling timber before. When the time comes, they will be equal to the 3,500-acre manor that has fallen a little farther away. It's a joy to think about. With more than 3,000 acres of land, although most of it is mountainous and planted with fruit trees, it is still more than our largest landlord. I heard that the eldest sister also told the city lord about this matter, and the city lord felt that it was very right, which shows that the price of land outside the city has risen certainly. In my opinion, it is better for us to go to a farther place to cultivate the land, and use it as our estate in the future. In this way, if the price of our 300 acres rises and we sell it, maybe the money owed to the bank can be paid off, then our distant manor will not be equal to making money in vain? Of course, our money is not as much as that of the eldest sister, and it is impossible to get a 3,500-acre manor like her, but it should be no problem for us to get a 500-acre or 1,000-acre manor. Come to think of it, aren't we rich at that point? What if it's a little farther out of town? We have such a big place that we can build an annex, and every time our family is resting, we can go to the annex to live. Like the rich man in the village? ”

Luo Hu felt that it made sense when he heard it, and immediately agreed with Gui Jinxia's idea, and the next day, the husband and wife went to take out a loan, and after getting the money, they immediately went to buy more land and continue to open up the wasteland. (To be continued)
