Chapter 473 Jealous

In July, the sun is scorching like fire. There is not a cloud in the sky, and there is not a little wind. Walking a few steps will make you feel hot.

In the backyard, Licorice brought Yuxi a glass of sour plum juice chilled in the well water. After drinking half a bowl, Yu Xi put it down: "It's really hot today." But it wasn't hot, and the distance from the front yard to the back yard made her sweat a little.

After entering the ear room, Yuxi looked around the corners, frowned and asked Quan Mama, "Why didn't you use ice today?" There is a lot of ice hidden in Yunfu in winter, except for the people in Yunfu to support Han There is no problem with the government.

Sister Quan said: "Liu'er has a fever, so I dare not use ice on her." She was afraid that her condition would worsen after using ice.

Yuxi was startled, and hurried over to touch Liu'er's forehead, her body temperature was indeed a bit high. After taking care of the two children, Yuxi didn't panic. If this situation is taken care of well, there is actually no need to see a doctor for medication.

However, no ice is used in the ear room, which is a bit stuffy. Yuxi thought for a while and said: "Let Liu'er move to the Bisha closet!" The Bisha closet is very cool. It's also because Liu'er is still too young to move around at will. Otherwise, let her live in the yard by the lake, where it is warm in winter and cool in summer. have

Sister Quan also had the same idea: "I'll move in the afternoon." The room is cooler, and the child can suffer less.

At lunch, Yu Xi and Liu Er ate alone. Yun Qing went to the racecourse and will not be back until a few days later.

After lunch, Mammy Quan asked Yuxi: "I heard that this year's harvest is better than last year, is it true?" Yunqing is well managed.

Yu Xi nodded with a smile and said: "It's true. This year's harvest is more than 40% more than last year." It's not that the yield per mu has increased, but that a lot of land was opened last year, so the harvest has increased so much compared to last year. But speaking of it, it's luck. The past two years have been smooth and there have been no disasters, otherwise there must not be such a good harvest.

With a bumper harvest of grain, grain merchants took the opportunity to lower prices, resulting in a quarter of this year's grain price reduction compared to last year. When Yuxi got the news, she was furious. Not only were people arrested, but the homes of the food were also confiscated.

Since Yuxi came to power, she has always acted relatively mildly. This thunderous method shocked many people. Those who participated in it this time were also a little panicked.

On this day, the Han family received several greeting cards. Afraid of getting into trouble, Mrs. Ye returned all of them. This day, I received another greeting card from Jiejia. After putting down the card, Mrs. Ye asked the steward, Mother Lu: "What's going on outside now?"

Lu's mother said: "The princess ordered that the two leading grain merchants beheaded for public display, and executed in three days. In addition, the government also posted a notice to set the price of grain." The government set a reasonable grain price, even if it is not sold to others Grain merchants can also sell to the government. The common people don't have to worry about the food in their hands being worthless.

Mrs. Ye ordered Mrs. Lu to return all the things sent by the Xie family, then went into the backyard and told Mrs. Qiu about it.

When Qiu arrived in the northwest, she didn't go out to socialize, but she would go to Huaye Temple to pay homage to the Buddha on every 15th day of the Lunar New Year. Many people went to Huaye Temple to pay respects to the Buddha, and over time, Qiu also made friends with a few like-minded people who liked Buddhism and Taoism. Among them, the old lady of the Xie family is one.

After listening to this, Mrs. Qiu recited: "Amitabha." These years of worshiping the Buddha made Mrs. Qiu become more compassionate.

Ye Shi said: "Mother, Yuxi killed those two grain merchants to frighten the people below." The reason why she told Qiu Shi about this was because she was worried that Mrs. Xie would intercede with her mother-in-law. If the mother-in-law agrees softly, it will not end well.

Qiu Shi sighed and said: "The low price of food hurts the people, Yuxi is doing such a heavy hand in order to protect the interests of the farmers." It is also the common affairs that have been taken care of for so many years, so I still don't understand this.

After hearing this, Mrs. Ye was relieved.

Said: "The nephew of Mrs. Xie's natal family also participated this time. Now he was arrested by the government and locked in prison."

Qiu Shi glanced at Ye Shi and said, "I can't interfere in the outside affairs." Not to mention just a nephew who befriends the old lady, she would not intercede even if she kissed her nephew. If it's about housework, she can say a few words. Outside things, she can't wipe her hands.

On the day the two grain merchants were beheaded for public display, Yunqing came back. In fact, he had already got the news when he was in Tong County. But this is Yuxi's decision, he can only support it, how can he oppose it.

Back home, Yunqing washed from head to toe, washed and shaved before going to see Liu'er. There's no way, the youngest daughter is so clean, if she doesn't clean it up, she won't let him touch it.

Although Liu'er couldn't speak, she was very happy to see Yun Qing, whom she hadn't seen for several days. Specific performance, take the initiative to open your hands for hugs.

Yunqing picked up Liu'er, touched Liu'er's face and asked: "Why is Liu'er so much lighter?" When he was at home, Yunqing would hug Liu'er every day, and he would know if it was heavy or light.

Sister Quan said: "These days are too hot, the second girl has no appetite." To put it simply, Liu'er is a bitter summer.

These days, Nanny Quan and Mother Bai racked their brains to cook food for Liu'er. It's a pity that Liu'er lacks interest in even delicious things. Well, Liu'er can eat fruit puree. Otherwise, it will definitely be thinner than it is now.

Yuxi was about to go back to the backyard at lunch time, only then did she know that Yunqing had returned.

Yunqing looked at Yuxi with a look of surprise, and asked, "What's wrong? Who committed the crime again?" For those restless people, Yunqing only said one word, kill. If you kill a lot, that person will naturally be afraid. Some people are afraid, so be honest.

Yu Xi glared at Yun Qing, and said, "Don't tell me when you come back." If she hadn't been going back to the backyard for lunch, she wouldn't even know that Yun Qing was back.

Yun Qing smiled and said: "Anyway, you're going to come back for lunch, so it's not too late." It was he who deliberately didn't let Xu Wu tell Yu Xi, because if Yu Xi knew that he was coming back, he would definitely leave what was on hand Things came to serve him, he didn't want Yuxi to work so hard.

Yu Xi snorted coldly and said, "If I don't go back to the backyard for lunch, wouldn't I not know you're back? Forget it this time, if there's another time, I won't follow." In fact, this is not a big deal, But Yuxi didn't want Yunqing to develop this habit.

Yun Qing laughed, and said, "Success, someone will tell you when I come back next time." After speaking, Yun Qing's eyes fell on Liu Er: "Liu Er has lost a lot of weight."

Yuxi sighed angrily, and said: "When the weather cools down in September, the child can be brought back." No one can do anything about Kuxia.

Yun Qing remembered one thing and said, "Before you said in your letter that Zao Zao didn't want to read and write?"

Speaking of this, Yuxi was full of anger: "Now that the weather is hot, I'm worried that she won't be able to bear it, so I discussed with Uncle Huo, let her practice martial arts in the morning, and read and write in the afternoon." Huo Changqing agreed, But Zao Zao has a moth. I only studied for one afternoon, and stayed in the front yard the next day and couldn't come back.

Yun Qing couldn't help laughing. In fact, Yunqing felt that it was really difficult for a three-year-old child to read and write big characters, and it was too early. Although Yuxi's requirements are not strict, as long as she writes the characters she has learned ten times a day, Zaozao is not willing to learn them. For Zao Zao, practicing martial arts is easier than reading and writing.

Yuxi said angrily: "Are you still laughing? It's all your fault? If it weren't for you, how could Zao Zao not like reading?"

Yun Qing said with an innocent face: "What does this have to do with me? I didn't tell her not to learn?" It made no sense.

Yuxi said angrily: "Uncle Huo has already said that you don't like reading since you were a child. Zao Zao must have followed you." Fortunately, she never thought of making Zao Zao a talented woman, otherwise she would really vomit blood.

Speaking of this, Yuxi was a little depressed. She has not inherited any of her advantages, but Yun Qing has inherited none of her shortcomings.

Yun Qing was not angry, but said cheerfully: "Of course my seed is like me." There was indescribable pride in those words.

Yuxi shook her head, ignoring Yunqing.

After lunch, Yunqing talked to Yuxi about the business: "Yuxi, I want to expand the horse farm." To expand the horse farm means to expand the breeding.

Without even thinking about it, Yuxi said, "No way."

Yun Qing asked puzzledly, "Why?" Because he had no experience before, he didn't raise many horses. There were only more than 2,000 horses in Tong County. There are vast pastures and abundant water, so it is no problem to raise 10,000 horses.

Yuxi said: "There is no money, and I think the number of horses is enough now." There are more than 2,000 horses in Tongxian County, and more than 4,000 horses in the two pastures in Xihai. In addition, there are already more than 4,000 horses in Yucheng, and there are more than 10,000 horses in total, which Yuxi thinks is enough.

Yun Qing shook his head and said: "It's not enough, at least it has to be doubled to be barely enough." Yun Qing wanted to build a strong cavalry.

Yuxi said: "If you have money, I don't object even if you raise 30,000 to 50,000 horses." It's a pity that if you don't have money, it's useless to say anything.

Yun Qing looked at Yu Xi and said, "Didn't Wu Kuo earn more than two million silver and take out part of it." Yu Xi wrote to him about Wu Kuo making money.

Yuxi said angrily: "Our current expenses mainly rely on the money and gold mines that were confiscated before. Now we should plan ahead and accumulate some family assets. When the gold mines are mined, the military pay will not be paid out." Actually The real reason for Yu Xi's opposition to the expansion of the racecourse is not lack of money. The real reason, Yuxi can't tell Yunqing, she can only use the lack of money as an issue.

Yun Qing frowned: "The gold mine will have no problems for three years. For three years, our caravan and other industries will also be able to make money."

Yuxi shook her head and said, "We'll wait until the caravan earns enough money to raise horses." The caravan was formed last year, because it's not yet familiar with the route, and it's still in the groping stage. In the past six months, we will be able to reach a balance of payments.
