Chapter 405: Wu Kuo Comes to Vote (2)
Yu Xi thought for a long time, but she couldn't figure out why Wu Kuo came to join her. At this time, Yunqing went to the army again, and the only person who could discuss it was Han Jianming.
After listening to Yu Xi's words, Han Jianming smiled and said, "Yu Xi, it's not surprising that Wu Kuo will come to join you."
Yuxi became more and more confused. She thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. How could her eldest brother know it as soon as she heard it: "Big brother, do you know the reason?"
Han Jianming said: "Wu Kuo came to join you, just as he himself said, he wanted to find a future for his children and grandchildren."
Yuxi's heart jumped, and she asked, "Brother, Wu Kuo came to seek refuge with me to seek a better future for his children and grandchildren? What does this mean?"
Han Jianming laughed and said, "Are you really confused or pretending to be confused?" Seeing Yuxi's thoughtful look, Han Jianming felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart: "Could it be that you want to spend the rest of your life with Yunqing? Guard the northwest, right?" He liked Yuxi and Yunqing very much, that's why he brought his family here. If he succeeds in the future, he will also have the merits of being a dragon. At that time, the Duke may not be there, and a Marquis will definitely not be able to escape.
Yu Xi finally understood that both her elder brother and Wu Kuo believed that she had the intention of seizing the world. Yu Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother, do I have such great ambitions in your mind?"
Han Jianming asked, "Do you really want to just guard the northwest?" If Yuxi was such a pure and kind person, she wouldn't have encouraged Yunqing to rebel.
Yuxi said: "Occupying the northwest is enough for our family to live a stable and stable life." Yuxi really never thought about such a thing as trying to seize the world.
Han Jianming felt that the blood in his whole body was congealed, and he desperately took his whole family to join Yuxi, but Yuxi had no intention of trying to win the world at all, this is not playing tricks.
Seeing that Han Jianming's expression was not right, Yuxi hurriedly shouted: "Big brother, what's wrong with you, big brother?"
Han Jianming came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "I'm a little dizzy, maybe it's because I haven't rested these days!" He is in a bad mood now, and he can't think calmly.
Yu Xi hurriedly said: "Brother, go back to the yard and rest!" It may be the other party's problem if one person thinks about her like this, but if two or three think about her like this, then it is her problem.
When Yun Qing came back and heard that Yu Xi was still in the study, he asked Xu Wu: "Who did Madam discuss things with just now?" It was almost dinner time and was alone in the study, something must have happened.
Xu Wu said: "Just now Madam met Uncle and Master, and then said that no one is allowed to disturb her." Naturally, Yun Qing was not included in these people.
When Yun Qing entered the room, he saw Yu Xi was looking at the map seriously. Once Yuxi devotes herself to something, she will no longer be disturbed by the outside world.
After a while, Yu Xi saw Yun Qing beside him and asked, "When did you come in? Why didn't you call me?"
Yun Qing smiled and said: "I don't want to disturb you seeing that you are so absorbed? What are you doing looking at the map?" This map is usually looked at by him, and Yuxi rarely touches it.
Yuxi knew Yunqing very well, but she didn't dare to tell Yunqing what Han Jianming said, otherwise it would definitely be a disturbance. Yuxi smiled and said: "I'm thinking that if potatoes are planted in the Northwest, then the granaries may not be enough."
Yunqing doesn't know much about farming, but he is a general, so he pays special attention to a question: "How to preserve this potato? How long can it be preserved without spoiling?" Wheat and corn are not only easy to preserve, but also can be preserved for a long time as long as they are stored in a dry place. long. If the yams are not easy to preserve and the preservation time is not long, they cannot all be planted.
Yuxi really hadn't considered this issue before, she just casually found this matter to confuse her eyes. However, Yun Qing's words reminded Yu Xi: "I don't know how to preserve it, but it took Tian Yang more than half a year to return to the Northwest from Fujian, and the yams he brought back can still be used as seeds. no problem.
"
Yun Qing said: "We still have to make sure first."
Yu Xi burst out laughing, and said: "I just assumed that all the potatoes were planted there. If all the potatoes were planted, wouldn't the white rice and flour become sky-high prices?" It's just that crops with large yields will There are some varieties, it is impossible to only plant the same kind.
Yunqing didn't care that Yuxi laughed at him, and said: "It's time for dinner, it's time to go back. We can't let mother and sister-in-law wait for us." Yunqing's own relatives are gone, and everyone in the Han family is gone. Be your own family.
Yuxi's attitude made Han Jianming worry. He told Mr. Zhao about this: "You said that if Yuxi really stays in this corner of the northwest in the future, what should I do?" He didn't want to stay here for the rest of his life.
Mr. Zhao was not in a hurry, and said to Han Jianming: "Even if the fourth aunt's mother didn't think about it before, now that she knows your intention to come to the Northwest, she will definitely consider it seriously." Han Jianming will come to the Northwest with his family, and Mr. Zhao is very strong Encourage. After all, if you want to abandon the title of Lord Duke and your family, you can't do it without support and courage.
Han Jianming also had his concerns, and said, "I'm afraid this girl only thinks about her husband and her children." Before that, Yuxi would say that Tong Yunqing rebelled because they were in too dangerous a situation, and if they didn't resist, they would lose their lives. Now that they have enough ability to protect themselves, maybe they just want to stay in the northwest.
However, Mr. Zhao shook his head and said, "Master, if Fourth Aunt's grandmother is the kind of woman you mentioned, she will not be in charge of the Northwest. Don't worry, Mr. Guo. When the time is right, Fourth Aunt's grandmother will not be content with it." This place in the northwest." Except for Yunqing, everyone else thinks that Yuxi is ambitious.
When Yunqing returned to the house after taking a shower, he saw Yuxi lost in thought. Yun Qing sighed slightly, held Yu Xi in his arms, and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Yu Xi changed her mind, and told Yun Qing about Wu Kuo. However, Yuxi only talked about Wu Kuo's experience and wanting to join them, but nothing else.
After pondering for a moment, Yun Qing said: "Don't worry, I will put someone by Wu Kuo's side at that time. If there is any abnormality in him, I will get rid of him." Yun Qing was planning to use Wu Kuo at the same time.
After Yu Xi hummed, she started gossiping with Yun Qing: "You said that Wu Kuo is an unlucky person, and his mother accused him of killing his father, what mood do you have?"
Yun Qing thought very simply, and said: "I guess this woman is not Wu Kuo's mother!"
Yu Xi shook her head and said: "This doesn't exist. The Yu family has a strong natal family as the backer, and her temperament is not weak. Even if Wu Meng has an illegitimate child outside, it is impossible to put it under Yu's name and occupy the title of the eldest son." Yu Xi I also had this suspicion at the beginning, but I found it impossible when I got serious.
Yun Qing couldn't find a reason to refute, but he still believed that Mrs. Yu was not Wu Kuo's biological mother. Tiger poison does not eat its offspring, if it is a mother, how would she do such a thing.
Yuxi had experienced it herself, so she felt that this matter was not unusual, and muttered: "These parents really can't be partial, otherwise it will easily make brothers turn against each other and become troubled."
Yun Qing smiled and said: "I treat Zao Zao and Liu Er equally." Yun Qing really didn't feel guilty at all when he said this. Although he is good to Liu'er, he obviously likes Zao Zao the most.
Yuxi said: "From now on, all children will be treated equally..."
Before he finished speaking, he was crushed by Yun Qing: "Then we have to work hard..." Seeing so many children in the Han family, he felt that Zao Zao and Liu Er were too few.
Yuxi didn't push Yunqing away, but she still had to say: "Not for the time being, the mother said that she can't have children within three years." In fact, based on her physical recovery, she will be able to have children in another year . However, Yuxi prolongs the time because she wants to give herself more time.
Noisy until midnight, Yu Xi was so tired that she still had no energy to think of him. Yunqing kissed Yuxi's forehead, Yunqing was not slow, so he didn't know that Yuxi had something on his mind. But Yu Xi didn't take the initiative to speak, he just didn't ask.
On the morning of the second day, Yuxi summoned Wu Kuo and asked, "What kind of business do you think will bring you quick and safe money?"
Wu Kuo shook his head and said, "There is no quick and safe business in this world. If you want to get money quickly, you have to take huge risks. For example, Madam is eager to use money to sell private salt, tea, horses and other materials." Salt and tea There are also horses that are controlled by the imperial court and cannot be sold privately. But now the world has fallen apart, and the imperial court has lost control of the localities. What you have to follow in doing business now is actually the local rules and regulations.
Yuxi nodded secretly in her heart, but she didn't reveal anything on her face: "Apart from these, is there anything else?" It's not uncommon to get money quickly and safely, such as mining gold mines. Unfortunately, such opportunities are rare.
Wu Kuo said: "There is also the sale of materials to the outside of the customs, and the profits will be huge." After a pause, Wu Kuo said: "Besides, going to sea to do business can also make huge profits. It's just that going to sea to do business is too risky. If you encounter an accident in Taiwan, you will lose your money." This accident not only has natural disasters, but also corruption.
Yuxi asked: "If you sell salt and tea, etc., do you have connections?" Going to sea for business has always been too risky, so Yuxi directly rejected it.
Wu Kuo nodded and said, "Yes." The Wu family actually started from selling private salt. It's just this, so I won't say it. To avoid leaving a bad impression in front of Yuxi.
The Wu family has been selling private salt for so many years, and they are already familiar with this business. So it was very detailed, and Yuxi didn't even have to interrupt.
Yuxi felt that she was too cautious before, without any sense of adventure. If she had started this business earlier, she might have made a fortune. There are actually disadvantages to living an extra life, that is, being too cautious in doing things.
After listening to Wu Kuo, Yuxi asked directly: "How much principal do you need?" Now that Wu Kuo is familiar with the road, it would be unreasonable if he didn't make money.
Wu Kuo didn't even think about it, and directly said a number: "One million taels of silver!" He also knew that Yunqing had money on hand, so he dared to say this.
Yu Xi immediately nodded and agreed. (to be continued)
