Chapter 269: Mountain Range
"The daughter-in-law knows, the mother-in-law can rest assured, but the daughter-in-law has an idea and hopes that the mother-in-law can agree."
"Oh, what do you think?"
"Among the dowries my mother gave me, there are shops in the imperial city and granges in the suburbs, and if my daughter-in-law wants to inspect it, she must at least know in her heart, if her mother-in-law has time, can she accompany her daughter-in-law."
Sister-in-law Ping'an nodded and shook her head, she had this daughter-in-law's dowry list in her hand, of course she knew that what she said was true, but since ancient times, her daughter-in-law's dowry only belonged to herself, and even Xiangchu could not occupy it.
So nodding is to promise this daughter-in-law to allow her to go out and take care of her dowry, shaking her head because she won't look at it, let others know, and think that she covets her daughter-in-law's dowry.
Qian Xiaoling is a transparent person, she immediately understood what her mother-in-law meant, turned around and knelt down in front of Fugui and Fugui's sister-in-law, and offered new tea.
In fact, in Qian Xiaoling's heart, the rich and wealthy sister-in-law in the second room is what she really wants to woo, and the little Fubao is the little girl in the next room who she wants to treat well.
But she, the new daughter-in-law, must not give more gifts to the second room than her in-laws, so she can only make up for it later depending on the situation.
"Second uncle, please drink tea, this is for you, second aunt, please drink tea, this is embroidered by my own hand."
The rich sister-in-law hurriedly put two pieces of white-colored jade pendants in the tray, saying that gold is priceless and jade is priceless, although these two jade pendants are more valuable than gold, but they definitely don't look bluffing without gold.
Qian Xiaoling's eyes flashed slightly, this second room is very good at giving things, although these two jade pendants are not worth much silver, but they are much more decent than the gold sent by their in-laws, no wonder they can give birth to children like Fubao and Xiangqian.
Qian Xiaoling knelt down in front of the auspicious couple again, and the gifts given to the third room were exactly the same as those in the second room, but the ones received were slightly different, all of which were fine gifts bought when Jixiang went south and north.
Although it is not very valuable, it is better than being exquisite, and it does not lose face, Qian Xiaoling's eyes lit up when she saw such a delicate gift, these are all some foreign things.
A few children also had gifts, either purses or shoes and socks, but Fu Bao had an extra pair of head flowers made of gold thread, with a shiny bun, which was very dazzling.
"Sister-in-law, when are you going to see your shop?"
Fu Bao asked.
"I'll go when I'm ready, does Sister Fubao want to go too?"
"Well, when you go, can you take me with my mother?"
"Of course, I can't ask for it."
Qian Xiaoling was obviously excited, with the princess of the protector accompanying her to inspect the shop, who would dare to make trouble without a long eye, you must know that in the imperial city, they are foreigners, and there will always be some losses.
Ping'an and his wife glanced at each other, and both shook their heads quietly, Fubao still has a lot of business in the provincial capital, and it is impossible to leave it alone, so they have to go back.
"Dad, mother, when the third brother's child gets the full moon wine tomorrow, we will go back, and I don't feel at ease if there is no master over there to look at me."
"Well, go and take it, but you ask the village chief, if they want to go back, they will go back, and if they don't want to, they can't force them to stay, otherwise they will hurt the peace."
The old man Xiang nodded again and again, but he didn't forget to take care of him, people went to a high place, they came to the princess's mansion, if they wanted to make a living in the imperial city, the Xiang family could not be forced to stay.
Qian Xiaoling's eyes flashed again, now that she has just married in, her foundation is unstable, so she can't say a lot of things, and she can't do many things, but in her concept, the old man's idea is wrong.
People can only be divided into two kinds, one is the master, the other is the subordinate, the subordinate works for the master, obeys the master's orders, and the master feeds the subordinate and provides basic living security.
If you want to control people by relying on love, you can still listen to you at first, but when you raise their hearts, you can still have a conscience if you don't fight back, but in the end you will definitely be empty.
Three days later, Ping'an and his wife were ready to go back, this time in addition to their father-in-law and mother-in-law, there was also the village chief who went back with their families, and the three elders of the Xiang family, Xianghanhe and Xianghanqin, stayed behind.
When they learned that Fu Bao wanted to buy a farm and a shop in the imperial city, they were willing to stay, and the old man Xiang also felt that it was better to give the property to his own family than to outsiders.
Fugui's sister-in-law took Fubao and followed Qian Xiaoling to inspect the shop, and the few houses they went to were the incense powder shops, sesame oil shops, and jewelry shops that their daughters often went to.
In the end, I went to a farm in the suburbs, a farm of two or three hundred acres, and handed it over to an old couple to manage, don't look at them as just a pair of village heads, but they are the nurse of the Qian family's mother and her man.
The rich sister-in-law saw from this old couple how the big families managed the farm, and it was not as simple as giving the land to the tenants, but the landlords and tenants also needed to go to the yamen to go through the tenant procedures.
Moreover, the landlord does not cover the food and housing of the tenants, but eats his own food, and pays rent for his residence, and the harvest is still 37 cents after deducting the cost, and 3 points are owned by the tenants and 7 points are owned by the landlords.
The rich sister-in-law was speechless, their Zhangyue Farm can make money by eating and living with the tenants, and they can't make more money if they don't do it.
Fu Bao was also speechless, if it weren't for her secretly doing tricks and feet to more than double the yield per mu of the field, the Xiang family really didn't make money, so if she bought a farm here in the future, Fu Bao didn't plan to do anything.
Sooner or later, she has to leave, and the Xiang family has to learn to face all the problems, otherwise when she and Shenhu leave, the Xiang family will soon be defeated, and it will be boring.
Qian Xiaoling promised to find a manor for the second room, if her manor can be with the second room's manor, she will definitely be cheap, at least the title of the princess of the country will be a lot less right and wrong.
But Fu Bao made a request, the most basic thing she wanted was to be close to the mountains, so that only the hungry people outside the imperial city could meet the requirements, and it did not belong to the imperial city.
When the emperor got the news, his eyes rolled and he decided to divide the area that was not under anyone's control for the time being to Fubao, anyway, all the places in Dongshun Kingdom belonged to the emperor, and he could give it to whoever he wanted.
So Fu Bao received the holy decree again, and that mountain range belonged to the princess of the protector, and the hungry people over there were also handed over to Fu Bao to manage.
Fu Bao's spiritual power was emanated, and the previous batch of hungry people who smashed and looted had been taken away by the Six Princes, but now there was another batch, and it didn't look bad.
Fu Bao generously accepted the holy decree, she only needs to go to that mountain range, where she can produce an unknown amount of food, and can reproduce an unknown amount of game.
As for the hungry, if you give them a hut and a small piece of land, they can live in peace and contentment, and that place will become a paradise on earth.
