Because the distance between the capital and Jiangsu and Zhejiang was far away, it took some time to go back and forth, and it was not until today that Xue Shaoyuan brought the news back.

However, the result was different from what Chu Lan expected.

"Is there really such a person as Xu Heyou?" Chu Lan narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, the subordinates really found out the household registration information of this person, but his parents died, and he wandered around with a barefoot doctor in his early years, and a lot of information is not verifiable." Xue Shaoyuan replied.

Chu Lan fell into deep thought, could it really be that he was mistaken, Wei Qingruo and Xu Heyou were really not the same person?

They just have a connection, that's all?

Thinking of this, a dull pain began to feel in my heart.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?" Xue Shaoyuan said with concern and wanted to come forward.

"It's fine." Chu Lan waved his hand.

Chu Lan continued to say to Xue Shaoyuan: "Today, King Rui and his wife have presented a new firearm, this thing is powerful, and it will inevitably have a huge impact on the court situation, you have been staring at the actions of King Dianyu for the past few days." ”

"My subordinates understand."

After Xue Shaoyuan was ordered to leave, Chu Lan got up, looked at the shelf behind him, and took down a jar of winter melon tea from it.

Chu Lan didn't brew it, but just looked at the jar and became distracted.

Xu He right...... Are you really dead?

After that day, he always believed that Wei Qingruo and Xu Heyou were the same person, so when he heard that Xu Heyou died, he didn't have any waves, and he firmly believed that this was Wei Qingruo's way to come up with a golden cicada to get out of its shell.

But now, Xue Shaoyuan found out that Xu Heyou did have this person.

Chu Lan's hand holding the jar gradually tightened......

On the second day, the emperor couldn't wait for someone to demonstrate the use of the cannon and thunderbolt made by Wei Ruo for him.

In the afternoon of the same day, the emperor sent someone to the Rui Wangfu to inquire about Wei Jin's batch manufacturing, and the emperor meant that since this thing was presented by the Rui Wangfu, and it was also the most proficient in the Rui Wangfu, he intended to let the Rui Wangfu be in charge of this matter.

Wei Jin also responded that he was not in good health and did not have the energy to supervise the batch construction, and hoped that the emperor would choose a prince to take on this important task, and the Rui Wangfu was willing to do his best to assist.

The emperor felt sorry for Wei Jinyi, and at the same time adopted Wei Jinyi's proposal and decided to choose one of the princes to serve as him.

Among them, it is naturally King Yu and King Jing who have the highest voices.

But no matter who the final flower is, Rui Wang was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Industry's Shuiqing Division, and he is the sixth product.

The head of the Ministry of Industry is not idle.

The Ministry of Industry is in charge of auditing and estimating the expenses for rivers, sea ponds, river defense, ditches, water conservancy, bridges, and road projects, as well as the expenses for the construction of warships, ferries, and other types of ships in various provinces, and the salaries of the officers and men of the river defense.

It is clear to everyone that this errand is clearly for the appointment of King Rui, but in fact Princess Rui may be required to provide her expertise.

At the same time, the rewards in the palace were also sent to the Rui Wangfu as Wei Jin also said.

When he saw the reward, Wei Ruo suddenly felt that the burden he suffered on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival was worth it.

"Miss, a lot of gold!" Xiumei was very excited.

Like Wei Ruo, Xiumei also saw gold at first sight.

"The list of rewards says a thousand taels of gold!"

The gold alone was rewarded with a thousand taels, and this was not counting the value of other rewards.

Among them, silk, tea, porcelain, and jewelry are all valuable and priceless things, and ordinary people can't buy them even if they have money.

"Miss, it's much easier for me to make money now than before!" Xiumei couldn't help but sigh.

"Indeed."

When Wei Ruo first started, it was very difficult to make money.

At first, it sold medicinal materials in the mountains, and later sold some homemade soy sauce, fruit wine, and seasonings.

And because of the limited sales, they can only be sold to other nearby farmers, and they can't sell at a good price.

At the beginning, only Wei Ruo, Xiumei and the nurse made it in the yard by themselves, and the output was very limited, and the three of them couldn't make much money in a day's work.

After a long time, Wei Ruocai saved up the silver to buy an ox cart, which could facilitate them to transport things to the town to sell, but it was also because they were unfamiliar with the place and didn't even know the rules for selling things, so they were troubled by the gangsters in the town.

Then to the small workshop of papermaking in the back, the first Sibao Zhai was opened.

This process took Wei Ruo a full seven years.

But now, Wei Ruo's speed of making money and the speed of opening a shop have become extremely fast.

Not only because Wei Ruo completed the most difficult primitive capital accumulation, but also because Wei Ruo's identity has changed and the people he comes into contact with have changed.

After receiving this batch of rewards, Wei Ruo didn't say a word, and wanted to turn these silver that she loved the most into assets that she loved even more.

It's already August, and the weather is about to turn colder, and the large amount of supplies she purchases is costly.

Now she has how much money she has to invest.

When the cotton is picked, in addition to the batch of long-staple cotton she grows herself, she also plans to purchase a batch of ordinary cotton, although the quality is not as good as long-staple cotton, but at this time she should not be picky.

Originally, considering the cost of funds, Wei Ruo did not plan to hoard a large amount of materials in the capital, and it would be almost enough to stock up on the two large warehouses of the manor she bought in Hejian Mansion, but now with this reward, Wei Ruo started to think about it again.

Wei Ruo decided to make use of the empty yard in the backyard of the palace, hoard what he could, and plant what he could.

The second brother said that she is in charge of the backyard of the palace, so she will use the house in the backyard as a warehouse, and the yard will be used to grow vegetables and raise chickens, he should have no opinion, right?

August 20.

Early in the morning, Wei Ruo was washing, and Xiumei came in to report: "Miss, there is another person from the Zhongyi Uncle's Mansion." ”

"Oh." Wei Ruo's reaction was flat.

"Miss, are they here to ask for sin?" Xiumei Road.

"So what? What can they do to me? Wei Ruo's face was calm.

If those people in the Wei family really had any ability, they would not have been made like that in the original book, and they would have to rely on sucking Wei Qingwan's blood to continue their lives.

Xiumei nodded heavily.

"Let them come and see me, as last time, in the back garden." Wei Ruodao.

"Yes, miss."

Wei Ruo didn't change his clothes, so he went to the back garden in the casual clothes in the house.

When she arrived, several people from the Wei family had already arrived, and this time it was the Yun family and the Bai family.

"The courtiers (women) meet the princess."

The Yun clan and the Bai clan asked Wei Ruo for peace.

"No courtesy."

Wei Ruo bypassed the two of them and came to the rocking chair that had been placed in the pavilion and lay down.

"Is there something you two are here for?" Wei Ruo was rocking leisurely in the rocking chair, his posture extremely leisurely.

Yun looked at Wei Ruo with a complicated expression: "Ruo'er, what's the matter with that Heavenly Master?" Mother has never heard of you. ”
