Chapter 139 Izuko

Time flies quickly, and more than half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

"Huh..." Yu Xi let out a long breath while lying in the bathtub. It's finally confinement, this month is really tormented, every day except reading a book for an hour, everything else is good, and I'm almost bored.

Zijin carried the water into the clean room, put it into the tub, and then smiled at Yuxi and said, "Ma'am, this is the third water, don't wash it again after this time!" Continue to wash , the skin is wrinkled.

Yuxi shook her head and said, "I've washed it this time, so I won't wash it anymore." After scrubbing it three times from top to bottom, it should be clean.

After taking a bath, she walked out of the house wearing incensed clothes, looking at the sunny outside, Yu Xi said: "Finally see the sun again." It's really uncomfortable to be locked in the room every day.

Zi Jin pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Madam, those who don't know think you were released from prison?" But if you are not allowed to go out, you will see the sun again, it is too exaggerated.

Yu Xi smiled lightly, and said, "Have you brought Zao Zao back yet?" Since the first time I carried Zao Zao out to Huo Changqing, unless the weather is bad, I must carry Zao Zao to the front yard every day. Huo Changqing refused to let Zao Zao back until Zao Zao cried from hunger.

Zi Jin shook her head and said, "No! Uncle Huo is playing with Zao Zao!" Zao Zao is the biggest treasure in Yun Mansion, from Huo Changqing to sweeping women, there is no one who doesn't like it.

Yu Xi said helplessly: "I dote on that maid so much, I'm really worried that I won't be able to control her in the future." Yun Qing already dotes on Zao Zao very much, and if Huo Changqing comes again, Yu Xi has to be worried!

Zijin felt that Yu Xi was worrying unnecessarily: "Madam, it's only been a month, so it's too early for you to worry about it now."

Yuxi glanced at Zijin, and said, "You don't believe it?" Seeing Zijin nodding, Yuxi sighed and said, "In a few years, you'll know if I'm worrying too much." Drowning a child, but one who is a junior can't say that.

Zijin felt that it was too early to discuss Zaozao's future, and it was a waste of time. Then he changed the subject and said, "Ma'am, shouldn't all the children in Zhuangzi be brought back to Yucheng?" It's not appropriate to keep these children in Zhuangzi.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "If you don't pick it up, let them do some work on the Zhuangzi." People are lazy, and if they keep raising them like this, some children will inevitably become lazy and dependent. Therefore, it is better to put it on Zhuangzi.

Speaking of the children in Zhuangzi, Yuxi thought of the two Zhuangzi that he bought. One of the two Zhuangzi bought by Yuxi is near Xinping City, and the other is very close to Yucheng. It only takes one and a half hours to get there by carriage from Yucheng.

Yu Xi said, "Go and call Han Dong over." Han Jianming sent three stewards, named Han Dong, Han Xiaowei, and Han Baocai. Han Dong stayed in the mansion as the second steward, and Han Xiaowei went to manage the 1,000-acre Zhuangzi in Xinping City as the steward. The other Zhuangzi, Yuxi handed it over to Guo Xun, and asked Han Baocai to assist him. The meaning of assisting from the side is that she will transfer Han Baocai back for appointment in the future. Of course, not only Han Baocai will be transferred back, but Han Xiaowei will also be transferred back when Zhuangzi over there is on track. If you are the head of the village, you don't need to ask Han Jianming to send someone over thousands of miles.

Seeing Han Dong, Yuxi said, "What's the situation with Zhuangzi now?" This Zhuangzi originally belonged to the Qin family, and the Qin family sold it in February, and after a few transfers, it finally ended up in Yuxi's hands. That Zhuangzi is not small, with seven or eight hundred acres of paddy fields.

Han Dong said: "It's the time of summer harvest, and everyone in Zhuangzi is busy with it."

Yuxi said: "You send someone to deliver the letter, and ask Guo Xun and Lianzhuangtou to come back after collecting them in the summer, and I have something to tell them.

"

Han Dong nodded and said, "Okay, ma'am."

After explaining some more things, Yu Xi was just about to let Han Dong go down, when she heard Pomegranate hurried over outside and said, "Ma'am, the general has been assassinated."

Yu Xi frowned, and asked, "Where is the general now?"

Shi Liu said: "The general is in the front yard, ma'am, the general..." Before finishing the three words "uninjured", Yu Xi disappeared.

When they arrived at the front yard, Yuxi saw blood stains on Yunqing's clothes. Immediately rushed forward and carefully pulled Yunqing's sleeve and asked, "Where is the injury?" He didn't dare to touch Yunqing's arm, because he was worried that if the injured arm was touched by her, the injury would aggravate.

Yun Qing shook his head and said: "I'm fine, the blood is from the assassin, not from me." Don't tell Yu Xi, but I can't hide it.

When Yuxi heard that Yunqing was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Go and change your clothes first!" The clothes were covered with blood, and looked a little scary.

After Yunqing finished changing her clothes, Yuxi asked: "Do you know who assassinated you?" Just two peaceful days have passed, and this will not be peaceful again.

Yun Qing shook his head and said: "Not sure, these people killed themselves by biting poison when they saw that the assassination was not successful." They were all dead men, even if they were caught, they wouldn't be able to ask anything.

A cold light flashed in Yuxi's eyes: "The Song family is in a hurry to jump over the wall?" It is impossible to dispatch dead soldiers, and they are all high-powered martial arts, without sufficient background. So, don't think about anything other than the Song family.

Yun Qing said: "It doesn't have to be the Song family, it might be the Xu family." Seeing Yu Xi's puzzled face, Yun Qing said: "Last time I burned the tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass captured in the north, which flowed out of the pass. And the Xu family has been selling daily necessities such as grain, grass and salt to the northern exiles in the past few years."

Yuxi was very surprised: "The Xu family has long colluded with the Beiyao?"

Yun Qing shook his head and said: "It's not enough to talk about collusion, they are looking for profit. Food, grass, salt, and cooking pots are all urgently needed by the northern exiles. If these things are sold there, the profit can be doubled or even several times money."

Yuxi said with some doubts: "I remember you told me before that there were people selling grain and grass in Yucheng, but these people were all arrested? Why, they were not caught at that time?" Speaking of this, Yuxi looked at Yunqing and said : "Could it be that Qin Zhao and the Xu family were the masterminds behind the investigation, so you didn't investigate further?"

Yun Qing smiled wryly, and said: "It's the marshal who didn't let the investigation go on." If the investigation went on and the cancer of the Xu family was pulled out, tens of thousands of soldiers would not have sacrificed in vain. If Marshal Izumi knew, he wondered if he would regret his decision back then.

Yuxi is silent, no matter how wise a person is, he has his weaknesses. Marshal Qin didn't allow the investigation to continue because he wanted to protect Qin Zhao comprehensively. Don't you know that his love and care is harm to Qin Zhao, not love. But Marshal Qin has already gone, so she can't say anymore: "What? Are you going to attack the Xu family?"

Yun Qing nodded and said: "In the future, I will hand over the supply of food and grass to the Chen family." The Chen family that Yun Qing was talking about was Fu Da's mother's family.

Hearing this, Yuxi also understood why Yunqing said that it might be the Xu family who sent people to assassinate him this time. Yuxi asked with a straight face: "You haven't even told me about such a big thing." Although the profit of food, grass, quilts and other goods is not large, the profit is considerable when the quantity is large.

Yun Qing said: "Aren't you in confinement, confinement people can't bother you, so I didn't tell you." He discussed things with Yuxi before, but Uncle Huo knew about it, and Uncle Huo ruthlessly Said him a meal. Therefore, he didn't dare to tell Yuxi about anything afterwards, and he didn't even let Zijin and Yuxi reveal any outside information. This is also the reason why Yuxi thought that the weather was calm during this time.

Yu Xi was a little anxious after hearing this, and asked: "You have already agreed to the Chen family, right?" The supply of food and grass has a lot of benefits involved in it, and it cannot be given to anyone casually.

Yun Qing shook his head and said: "When Tianlei mentioned it to me, I didn't agree. I just said to think about it." The supply of food and grass is not a child's play. If the Chen family is not qualified, even if Fu Tianlei came forward, he would not be able to agree. So during this period of time, he sent someone to check the details of the Chen family, and found that the Chen family acted properly and did business with integrity, so he had this plan.

Yu Xi said: "It's not that the supply of grain and grass cannot be given to the Chen family, but the price cannot be the same as before. Even the medicinal materials, the price must also change."

Yun Qing asked Yu Xi: "Do you mean to lower the price?" The price cannot be lowered just by thinking about it.

Yuxi said: "The prices of grain, grass and medicinal materials in Yucheng are high, which is inappropriate. Not only the prices of grain, grass and medicinal materials have to be suppressed, but also the purchase prices of other things. Although these things The profit is not very high, but the accumulation of a small amount makes a lot of money, even if the price is lowered a little, it is still very profitable."

Yun Qing frowned and said, "It's good that the price can be lowered, but what if these people disagree?" Even if the price of something drops just a little, it's a huge amount of data after a year.

Yuxi said: "Businessmen value profits, as long as they have money to make, these people will not refuse. Even if the Chen family and the Zhao family refuse, there are other families."

Although Yunqing is not proficient in general affairs, after this period of time, he still has some understanding: "If they run out of stock, they will not be able to supply it for a while, then it is not appropriate."

Yuxi is not worried about what Yunqing said: "As long as you don't beat him to death with a single stick, I believe the Zhao family will make concessions." What Yuxi wants is not these people to make concessions, she also wants these people to bleed profusely. If you don't want to bleed, then find someone who is willing to bleed.

Yun Qing said: "You already have an idea?"

Yuxi hummed, and said: "Leave this matter to me, and I will handle it properly." Seeing Yunqing hesitated, Yuxi smiled and said: "I have been studying business with my mother since I was five years old. , I am no worse than those businessmen when it comes to doing business. So, you can rest assured." Qiu Shi has no secrets from Yuxi, as long as she knows how to teach Yuxi. It's just that Yuxi had too many scruples in the capital before, and she didn't dare to do things that attracted attention.

Yun Qing nodded and said: "Success, then I will leave this matter to you. If there is any difficulty, you can tell me and I will solve it..."

Yuxi nodded with a smile and said: "Don't worry, if I can't do it well, I will definitely find you." Without Yunqing as a backer, she can't do anything. (to be continued)
