"Xiao Yu, Su Yun, Su Ying and the others are back. Here are the detailed information about their actual investigation of the mountain range suitable for growing medicinal herbs. Take a look."
Xiao Lingyu took it and looked through it carefully. "Only twenty?"
"Yes, buy at least 300 acres for each place, which should be enough. The price of one acre of mountain range in Wolong Mountain, 500 miles away from the capital, is five times more expensive than other places."
Xiao Lingyu said, "Wuling County is the dividing line between the north and south of Beiyi. We'll enclose 1,000 mu of mountain range here, and 300 mu of other mountain ranges. Without further ado, I'll ask you to personally bring a professional craftsman to measure and enclose the land the day after tomorrow."
Su Xingyi was surprised by her bold statement and asked tentatively, "Are you going to get them all at once?"
Xiao Lingyu carefully looked through the documents without even looking up: "That's right, get them all!"
"This requires a large sum of money. Do we have enough?"
Xiao Lingyu then looked up at him and said, "The total is less than 330,000 taels of silver, which is indeed a large sum of money. Let's go to the warehouse and count it to see if it's enough."
The couple spent an hour taking inventory of the warehouse.
Su Xingyi said, "The total amount of cash and banknotes is only 250,000 taels, which is far from enough."
Actually it is enough!
There is still a lot of cash and banknotes in the space, as well as many valuable items!
The huge amount of money Xianglu earned, the profit from sharing the dishes with the Lu family, the profit from Yudian tea and soup, the profit from Yuzhi that had just been collected, and most of the food fiefs in Huayang County were all stored in the space.
She just left some silver in the treasury as a symbol.
"Let's enclose the land in batches. After all, this Hundred Medicinal Hall is a big business that needs to be done for a long time. We have to use our money to pay the servants and guards monthly wages, as well as the staff and doctors. We're constantly spending money and haven't seen any money coming in yet. The key is that we need to use the money to buy rare ingredients this year."
Su Xingyi discovered that although the Princess's Mansion looked rich and magnificent, it was actually very poor!
Seeing that he didn't find the problem, Xiao Lingyu felt a little anxious for him and really wanted to tell him that they were rich and not poor!
It seems that in the future we should put more of the silver coming in from various places into the warehouse!
"Then I'll do as you say. First, I'll use 50,000 taels to buy some land and plant some medicinal seeds. When we harvest the rare ingredients and sell them, we'll have money. Oh, and by the way, the wealthy ladies in the counties should have used up their fragrance dew. It's time for me to make some to sell."
Fragrance?
Su Xingyi suddenly realized something and looked back at the boxes of banknotes. "We at Xianglu earned so much money, and we spent so much, and this is all we have left?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled, and Xingyi finally realized what was going on. "Yes, we are not poor. I have put most of the silver into my private vault. It is no problem for me to buy all the mountains at once."
"No! You'd better spend 50,000 taels to buy land first. Once it's all in your private treasury, it's yours. You should save more money for yourself!"
Xiao Lingyu didn't expect him to say that, and felt warm in his heart. "Okay, from now on, I'll put more of the money coming in from all sources into the treasury, so that people won't think our Princess Mansion is poor."
The couple then locked the storeroom and went to the flower hall to enjoy dinner with their children.
"After tonight, Lu Yuan will give birth in less than two weeks. I plan to stay at the Lu Mansion with Xiao Xi'er for a few days while you go to enclose the land."
"You're not planning to give her a Caesarian section, are you?" Su Xingyi was so frightened that his head was about to explode. "I can't agree to that."
"Lu Yuan doesn't necessarily need a caesarean section to deliver the baby. Even if necessary, it will be the Lan family mother and daughter who will do it."
Su Xingyi shook his head. "I still can't agree to your request. You are now a princess, and you are also pregnant. The Lu family is keeping an eye on you, afraid of offending you. You won't feel comfortable living in the Lu Mansion."
Xiao Lingyu thought about it and realized that this made sense. "You're right, but I still have to go on the day Lu Yuan gives birth."
"I should be back by then. I'll go with you."
"Okay!" Xiao Lingyu closed his eyes and prepared to sleep, then heard Su Xingyi whisper, "How are the imperial doctors in the palace?"
Xiao Lingyu was surprised, "Why are you suddenly asking about the imperial physician?"
"Oh, I just want to know who's better, your medical skills or theirs?"
"Of course the palace physicians are better. I'm self-taught, after all. Being able to cure you was an accident." Xiao Lingyu pinched his chin and looked directly into his eyes, sensing that he was hiding something. "Tell me, what's going on? You wouldn't ask about the palace physician for no reason."
Su Xingyi actually didn't intend to tell others about Feng Jinyu's serious illness. He just felt uneasy.
"You seem very concerned about Lu Yuan giving birth?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Of course. She's not just Jie Ge'er's older sister, she's also a patient I've treated. I've taken good care of her body, and if she can safely give birth to twins, I'll feel a sense of accomplishment and be very happy!"
Su Xingyi pursed his lips when he heard this. Putting aside other things, Feng Jinyu was Xiaoyu's patient. If she knew that she did not completely cure him and his old injury relapsed, she might not feel a sense of accomplishment.
After much thought, he decided to tell her, "Su Yun and the others met Feng Jinyu on his way back to Beijing. He seemed to be very ill, and his old injury seemed to have relapsed..."
Xiao Lingyu's handsome face frowned. "That's impossible! The last time his men brought Brother Jie back, I gave him a prescription to prevent recurrence of internal injuries. It's definitely not a recurrence of an old injury, it must be some other illness. Have Su Yun and the others ever seen Feng Jinyu in illness?"
"They just saw Li Yuanliang and Xu Mo in the town. They were buying a lot of bedding. They said Feng Jinyu was afraid of the cold and had a fever in the western border. It kept coming back and wouldn't get better."
Xiao Lingyu understood. Although he had been cured last time, his foundation had been damaged and his physical condition had deteriorated. "When we get to the capital, he'll have the imperial physician to treat him. He should be fine. It's getting late, go to bed."
"Will everything really be okay?" Su Xingyi still felt a little uneasy, as if something big was going to happen.
Xiao Lingyu looked up at him, wondering if half-brothers could also have telepathy. "It can only be said that his physical condition has deteriorated. The palace physician will take care of him. He should rest well and nothing serious will happen."
Xiao Lingyu closed her eyes after she finished speaking. As soon as she closed her eyes, she recalled the scene when Feng Jinyu first met her in Xishui County.
Alas, I feel so sad for him. The original owner he loved is no longer here.
If Feng Jinyu knew that he and the original owner could not achieve a happy ending, it would be because someone was interfering behind the scenes.
Will he turn evil?
What a headache!
I hope he can meet his ideal partner when he returns to Beijing this time.
The Grand Prince's Mansion in the Capital
The doors and windows of Feng Jinyu's bedroom were closed, and the room was full of ice.
Feng Jinyu was lying on the bed wearing only a pair of underwear, and her whole body was incredibly hot.
Several days passed, and Feng Jinyu went from being afraid of cold to being afraid of heat. The imperial doctors had no idea and could not find out the cause of the disease.
"Xu Mo, have you found the whereabouts of Mr. Lu?" When Li Yuanliang saw Xu Mo coming back, it was as if he had found a life-saving straw, and his eyes were full of anticipation.
Xu Mo shook his head helplessly, "No news yet, but it should be soon."
