After they have done this first step, Yu Zizhen will arrange for Wen Xiaoman to form a merchant team from the south to the north, selling furs and medicinal materials from the north back and forth, and silk, porcelain, grain, and seafood from the south, while secretly helping her collect information from all over the world.

As for the Lu family, there are also mountains and rivers in the southeast, and it is very possible to raise some mountain bandits and water bandits. When the time is ripe, Yu Zizhen plans to let them go step by step to subdue those mountain bandits.

Those who have committed extremely vicious crimes are to be killed as a deterrent, and a group of them are collected into the army, and then they are bound by military regulations, and they can be directed to fight wherever they are when they are cleaned up.

As for those who fall into the grass just to find a way to live, Yu Zizhen does not plan to forcibly arrange their lives.

If there are those who are willing to enlist in the army, they will pick and choose to see if it is suitable, and it doesn't matter if they don't, anyway, farming, breeding, weaving, building houses, building water conservancy and fortifications, these jobs also require a lot of labor to join in.

Of course, that's for later.

At this time, Yu Zizhen was far from what she expected, mastering the "battleground for soldiers" in Daqi and infiltrating the tentacles into all states and counties in Daqi.

The only thing she can do now is to poke out her tentacles a little bit, and the only way she can think of is to continue to spread that she is "independent research and development" on the surface, but in fact it is a new type of manure method that was exchanged from the system mall.

***

Most of the people in the Lu family were sent away by her, and this matter could be hidden from other people outside the mansion, but she couldn't hide it from Mr. Jiang and others who lived in the Zhenbei Palace.

On the one hand, Mr. Jiang was shocked that Yu Zizhen actually had such a ability, and he was able to send away all the Lu family members except Wushun and Wu'an safely under the watchful eyes of countless pairs of eyes outside the mansion, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

To be honest, in his opinion, the Lu family is a bunch of hot potatoes, they have been staying in Zhenbei Wangfu, and Zhenbei Wangfu will inevitably be stared at by more people all the time, which is really inconvenient for him.

Now that it's okay, Yu Zizhen is finally willing to send these people away.

In addition, Yu Zizhen also did something that made Mr. Jiang happy.

On the day of the Wanshou Festival, as soon as she came out of the palace, she directly took out a booklet from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Mr. Jiang, asking him to send it back to the Zhenbei Wangfu in the north as soon as possible.

As Yu Zizhen's birthday gift to the emperor, she was reluctant to share it with others before this, and Mr. Jiang could fully understand it, so he didn't dislike Yu Zizhen at all for giving it late, but was particularly pleased because Yu Zizhen thought of sharing this thing with Zhenbei Wangfu as soon as he left the palace.

This made him feel that although Yu Zizhen behaved strangely in some small things, he was still very able to distinguish between inside and outside and carry the importance in big things. That's enough for him.

Mr. Jiang was satisfied, and naturally praised Yu Zizhen a few words in his letter to the king of Zhenbei.

The king of Zhenbei, who received the new method of manure and Mr. Jiang's letter, was also very happy, he took the letter and went directly to the courtyard of the princess of Zhenbei to dine in the evening.

Princess Zhenbei was very happy that King Zhenbei came to her, and she also called her baby son Yu Zicheng over as always, but she was not very happy that King Zhenbei came to praise Yu Zizhen again.

But now she has learned to be obedient, even if she is unhappy, she does not hesitate at all to show her motherly heart to Yu Zizhen, and then take the opportunity to take advantage of the good mood that King Zhenbei gave birth to because of Yu Zizhen.

Fortunately, Yu Zizhen didn't care about these things at all, otherwise when she knew about Princess Zhenbei's sassy operation, she was afraid that she would die of scare.

Not long after the New Year's gift from Zhenbei Wangfu was sent away, Yu Zizhen and they had a holiday. It's just that what they put is not the kind of winter vacation in Yu Zizhen's previous life, but the "New Year vacation" of this era.

Of course, this "New Year's vacation" is not shorter than the winter vacation of Yu Zizhen's previous life.

According to Xiao Yuanjin, the "New Year leave" of Guozijian and most of the academies lasts for 50 days from the end of the lunar month to the beginning of February next year.

Yu Zizhen and those who are studying in the south study have always referred to the holiday time of Guozijian, so their vacation also lasts from the end of the month to the beginning of February next year, which lasts for 50 days.

It's rare to have such a long period of time without going to school, of course Yu Zizhen has to create opportunities for Xiao Yuanjin to practice martial arts diligently.

She greeted the emperor, and then under the banner of asking Xiao Yuanjin for homework, she took Xiao Yuanjin, who had been out of the palace many times, back to the palace.

Since Xiao Yuanjin didn't just take a break in the palace occasionally this time, but wanted to live here for a while, Yu Zizhen asked the chief housekeeper Yu Tong to arrange manpower to decorate the small courtyard next door to Lu Mingxuan.

"This is a temporary shelter that I have asked you to set up, are you satisfied with it?" If there's anything that needs to be changed, I'll have someone readjust it for you right away. ”

Xiao Yuanjin shook his head, "No need, it's already very good now." ”

Xiao Yuanjin was not picky about the living environment, not to mention that he left the palace this time in order to be able to concentrate and polish his martial arts under the guidance of Yu Zizhen.

As long as he does this well, then he doesn't care about other things, such as food and shelter, whether it's good or not.

In this way, Xiao Yuanjin lived in Zhenbei Wangfu.

During the period, in addition to the small year, the big year, the first day of the new year, the fifth day of the new year, and the fifteenth day of the new year, he returned to the palace to participate in the indispensable family reunion, ancestor worship, large-scale palace banquet, lantern appreciation and riddles and other traditional projects during the New Year.

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Yuanjin's birthday is also in the first month, but whether it is the Queen Mother Da Lu or the Queen Xiao Lu, they are not interested in giving their juniors, especially the juniors who have no blood relationship with them.

So Da Lu's directly deprived Xiao Yuanjin and his sisters of their right to celebrate their birthdays on the grounds that "the children are still young, and the celebration of birthdays with great fanfare is easy to fold blessings and longevity".

Every year on the birthdays of the three of them, Xiao Lu, who is in charge of the imperial dining room, simply asks the imperial dining room to add two more dishes to them, and then rewards them with the queen mother and the emperor.

Of course, these things are not personally taken care of by the Da Lu family and the Xiao Lu family, and even they don't have to bother to remember the birthdays of the three Xiao Yuanjin brothers and sisters.

When it comes to that period, the palace people around them will naturally remind them. They only need to give an order, give a standard, and the palace people around them will naturally handle other things.
