Chapter 116 The little lady of the county Cheng family

"Miss, the messenger sent a letter." Huaining County, an old house behind the government.

The maid Xinrui took a letter and handed it to Han Beiqing.

Han Beiqing glanced at the fire paint on the envelope, and shook his head helplessly: "I just came here five days ago, and my reply hasn't arrived yet, so here it is again."

Xinrui saw that Han Beiqing was going to read the letter, so she hurriedly turned around and walked to the stove. Pick up the rag and put it on the handle of the kettle, and take the kettle off. Pour boiling hot water into the soup woman, plug the stopper and put a layer of cotton on it. When the hot soup woman was placed on Han Beiqing's table, Han Beiqing had already finished reading Dun Ge'er's letter.

"I heard Brother Xiao Can say that his kung fu was learned from the teachings of the Marquis of Wuyang. He also used to carry the little prince of the Hou Mansion on his back and ran all over the mountain, is this true?" Xinrui looked at Han Beiqing suspiciously, her eyes full of anticipation.

"And, this, the fire paint on this envelope. He said that it was unique to the Hou Mansion, and the person who handed over the shop knew it at a glance. Miss, you, this life is a foreign man..... Could it be that you are married to the prince?"

Han Beiqing couldn't help but sneer, looked at Xinrui with a gossipy face, and nodded her nose helplessly: "What a marriage, that child will be eight years old this year." What Xiao Can said is true, Xiao Shizi was picked up by me on the street back then. This boy is of noble birth, but he lives far away in the capital and thinks of us."

Xinrui exclaimed again and again: "I see, no wonder the people in the city say that the county is backed by the mountain.....

She realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly covered her mouth. With a face full of embarrassment and annoyance, he looked at Han Beiqing nervously: "Miss, I, I'm ....."

"It's okay, there's nothing wrong with what the outsiders say. My father's county is really from the light of the Hou Mansion, but...." Z.br>

Han Beiqing's eyes were sharp, and his tone was serious: "I am in charge of the law, and if I pass the township test, I can be the lowest second official. It's just that after the selection of the officials first, there must be a vacancy. If my father hadn't been able to lift people himself, the Yongning Marquis Mansion wouldn't have been able to lift people if he wanted to."

Two years ago, Han Beiqing relied on Gu Yin's hints and the news from the Bohai merchant Shuhu. Cotton alone is the same as rice, and I earned 1,300 taels.

Later, she took Dalong and Xiaocan to invite Hou Er and his wife from the back yard to open a three-day field in the back mountain. Sanyu land is 30 acres, the size of three regular football fields. There could have been more, but these few people simply couldn't do it.

I planted 15 acres of autumn cabbage, 10 acres of white radish, about 4 acres of spinach and about 1 acre of peppers.

The pepper harvest was not very good, because the weather was cold and did not bear fruit. Fortunately, the taste is spicy enough, enough for Han Beiqing to make spicy dried fish and spicy strips.

And the spinach on the four acres of land was only 350 catties after removing the food and rotting at home, and finally handed over to the vegetable seller. The price of spinach in late autumn is very high, and ordinary people can't afford to eat it, so only those rich people in Qishan County buy it. The vegetable seller took it all at a price of 115 wen per catty.

Han Beiqing only received four taels of the money from the sale of autumn spinach, and the rest of the more than 200 yuan was given to Da Long, Xiao Can, and Hou Er as dividends in addition to wages.

The yield of radish and cabbage per mu is 3,000 catties, and the yield per mu is 3,000 catties for Han Beiqing, which is too low. When she went to the countryside to help farmers and become a village official, radishes and cabbage were all cash crops with a yield of 10,000 catties per mu. However, the environment is different, and the varieties have been screened for hundreds of years, and she can't help it.

However, this yield can make Mrs. Han crazy, and always said that she had planted the land all her life, but she didn't expect to make a fortune with cabbage and radish.

Because of the large population in the family, Han Beiqing kept 50,000 catties of cabbage radish for his own use. The remaining 700,000 catties of cabbage and radish were pulled back to Bohai Country by Shuhu at the price of one penny per catty.

That year was a cold winter, food prices soared, and vegetables were even more expensive. The big house and the third room of the Han family, as well as the Wang family in the city, each took away 10,000 catties of radish and cabbage from Han Beiqing.

Don't look at 10,000 catties, it sounds like a lot, but there are only four or five thousand cabbage radishes in total. That's just a winter's ration.

At this time, Han Laosan and his family were held accountable by the villagers for selling fake medicines, and they had already emptied their family funds. See Han

Beiqing casually planted some radish and cabbage and earned seven hundred taels, and those who were jealous were going crazy.

After Mrs. Han made the decision and distributed 10,000 catties of radish and cabbage to each of their two brothers, he didn't keep a single radish and pulled them all to the city to sell. earned more than a dozen taels of silver, bought fish, meat, and Luo shirts to show off in the village, and later his home was stolen seven or eight times.

Boss Han and his family are real people, and they pulled 3,000 catties of radish and cabbage and sent them to Zhou's mother's house. He also sent 500 catties to the county order, and the county governor and the county lieutenant each sent 200 catties. The remaining 5,000 catties were dug in a cellar and stored and eaten slowly.

And Han Beiqing left 3,000 taels of silver tickets in his hand, and spent 2,000 taels in Shunqi Commercial Bank to buy tea introduction, rice quotation, gold quotation, salt quotation, and cotton quotation for the market to be evaluated.

He kept three hundred taels of silver in his hand, and he had enough grain and firewood to prepare for the winter.

"Miss, the slave doesn't understand. The county lady said that he wanted to pick up the old lady to come to our Huaining County, why didn't the young lady agree?" The little maid's cautious questioning brought Han Beiqing back to reality from memory.

"In the year before the test in Daddy's Township, there was a great drought in the north and the border was in an emergency, prices in Qishan County were soaring, the people were not prepared, and many people were starving. The winter of that year was unusually cold, and some people couldn't stand the hunger and cold, and began to sell their sons and daughters. My third uncle.....

Han Laosan sold 10,000 catties of radish and cabbage and showed off in the village, just to wash away the humiliation he received from selling fake medicine. But I didn't expect that my family was robbed, the food was moved, and there was not much money left. It also provoked the threat of bandits, so scared that Zhang immediately betrayed Han Beiqing.

"My niece is very powerful, and her family has tens of thousands of catties of rations, and at least a thousand taels of silver. Go and rob her, don't rob us." Zhang's fluttering words, and the Han Mansion was almost wiped out.

"The third aunt led the bandits to knock on our house, not only were tens of thousands of catties of cabbage, radish and rice and noodles robbed of my tun, but also a few hundred taels of silver in my hand. My brother was kicked by bandits to protect me, and he failed the county exam the following year."

It's also unlucky, Han Beiqing usually likes to walk in men's clothes. But at that time, she made a few new clothes, and she was deliberately dressed up that day. The thieves who rushed into the house saw that they wanted to mistreat Han Beiqing.

Han Jinwen, a weak scholar, was protecting Han Beiqing, but was seriously injured by bandits and his arms were broken.

And Han Beiqing ......
