A Blessed Daughter

Chapter 514: be rewarded again

Because the capital is far away from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it took some time to go back and forth. Xue Shaoyuan did not bring the news back until today.

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 both of his parents died, and he wandered around with a barefoot doctor in his early years. There is a lot of information that cannot be tested." Xue Shaoyuan replied.

Chu Lan fell into deep thought, could it be that he really made a mistake, Wei Qingruo and Xu Heyou are really not the same person?

They're just connected and that's all?

Thinking of this, my heart began to ache.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?" Xue Shaoyuan asked with concern, wanting to come forward.

"It's okay." Chu Lan waved her hand.

Chu Lan continued to say to Xue Shaoyuan: "Today Prince Rui and his wife presented a new firearm. This weapon is powerful and will definitely have a huge impact on the court situation. You have been watching the actions of King Yu these days."

"The subordinate understands."

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

Chu Lan didn't use it for brewing, but just stared at the jar in a daze.

Xu Heyou... Are you really dead?

After that day, he has always believed that Wei Qingruo and Xu Heyou are the same person, so when he heard that Xu Heyou died, he didn't have any disturbances. He firmly believed that this was Wei Qingruo's way to escape the golden cicada.

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

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

On the second day, the emperor couldn't wait to let people demonstrate the effect of using the cannon and thunderbolt made by Wei Ruo for him.

That afternoon, the Emperor sent someone to Prince Rui's Mansion to inquire about Wei Jinyi's mass-produced matter. The Emperor meant that since this object was presented by Prince Rui's Mansion, it was the Mansion of Prince Rui's most proficient in understanding it, so he intended to let Prince Rui's Mansion be in charge of this matter.

Wei Jin also responded that he was not in good health and had no energy to supervise the mass production. He hoped that the emperor would choose a prince to take on this important task.

The emperor felt sorry for Wei Jinyi, and at the same time accepted Wei Jinyi's proposal, and decided to choose one of several princes to take the position.

Among them, King Yu and King Jing are naturally the most vocal.

But no matter who gets the final award, Prince Rui first appointed him as the head of the Dushuiqing Officials Department of the Ministry of Industry, the sixth rank.

The head of the Department of Officials, Dushuiqing, Ministry of Industry, is not idle.

The Ministry of Industry is in charge of auditing, estimating and writing off the funds for river courses, seawalls, river defenses, ditches, water conservancy, bridges, and road projects, as well as the funds for repairing warships, ferries and other various ships in various provinces, and writing off the salaries of river defense officers and soldiers.

Everyone knows that this errand is clearly appointed by Prince Rui, but in fact it may require Princess Rui to provide her professional knowledge.

At the same time, the rewards from the palace were sent to Prince Rui's residence as Wei Jinyi said.

When Wei Ruo saw the reward, he suddenly felt that the hardships suffered on the Mid-Autumn Festival were 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 reward of a thousand taels of gold alone is not considered the value of other rewards.

Among them, silk, tea, porcelain, and jewelry are all expensive and have no market, and ordinary people cannot buy them even if they have money.

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

"Indeed."

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

Because of limited sales, they can only be sold to other nearby farmers, and they cant be sold at a good price.

At the beginning, only Wei Ruo, Xiumei and the nanny made it in the yard by themselves, and the output was very limited. The three of them couldn't make much money even if they worked hard for a day.

After a long time, Wei Ruo saved money and bought an ox cart, which would be convenient for them to transport things to the small town for sale, but it was also because he was not familiar with the place where he was born, and he didn't even know the rules of selling things, so he was hunted down by the gangsters in the town. trouble.

Go to the small paper-making workshop at the back and open the first Sibaozhai.

This process took Wei Ruo seven years.

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

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

After receiving this batch of rewards, Wei Ruo will turn these coins she loves most into assets she loves even more.

It is already August, and the weather is about to turn cold. The large amount of materials she purchased requires cost.

Now she has how much money she has invested.

When the cotton is picked, in addition to the batch of long-staple cotton she planted herself, she also plans to purchase a batch of ordinary cotton. Although the quality is not as good as long-staple cotton, she shouldn't be picky at this time.

Originally considering the cost of funds, if Wei didn't plan to hoard a large amount of supplies in the capital, it would be enough to stock up the two large warehouses of the manor she bought in Hejian Mansion, but now with this reward, Wei If you think about it again.

Wei Ruo decided to make use of the empty yard in the backyard of the palace, stock up what can be stockpiled, and plant what can be planted.

Second brother said that she has the final say in the backyard of the palace, so he shouldnt have any objection to her using the backyard as a warehouse and the yard as a vegetable and chicken farm, right?

August 20th.

Early in the morning, when Wei Ruo was washing up, Xiumei came in to report: "Miss, there is another visitor from Uncle Zhongyi's residence."

"Oh." Wei Ruo responded flatly.

"Miss, are they here to inquire about crimes?" Xiumei asked.

"So what? What can they do to me?" Wei Ruo looked calm.

If those members of the Wei family were really capable, they wouldn't be made that way 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 to see me, just like last time, arrange it in the back garden." Wei Ruo said.

"Yes, miss."

Wei Ruo didn't change his clothes, but went to the back garden in the casual clothes of the mansion.

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

"The minister's wife (civil woman) pays homage to the princess."

Yun Shi and Bai Shi greeted Wei Ruo.

"No courtesy."

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

"Are you two here for something?" Wei Ruo was rocking leisurely on the rocking chair with an extremely leisurely posture.

Yun Shi looked at Wei Ruo with a complicated expression: "Ruoer, what happened to that Master of Heavenly Works? Mother has never heard of you."
