Chapter 57: Imitating the Beauty
"Your battlefield is in the court, and my battlefield is in the business world. Wouldn't it be great if I could use my abilities to help more people? Just like bacon, once it becomes an industry, from pig farming to bacon making to cargo transportation, have you ever thought that this is a complete chain that can drive many households?"
"When the time comes, many people in the village will benefit from it. I am doing this not only for myself, but also for everyone."
When Lin Xi said this, his eyes sparkled and he was filled with enthusiasm.
In this era, doing business is often looked down upon, but for Lin Xi, she is well aware of the power of business.
She doesn't want to be the richest person in the world, but hopes to help the simple villagers get rich together.
"When I was in the capital, I heard that farmers often had to save money to support one child to go to school. But here, only one family in a village can send their children to school. The gap is really shocking."
Xiao Yongyan looked at Lin Xi steadily. He did not expect that his little wife, who had been staying at home for many years, had the people of the world in her heart.
Moreover, she was more pragmatic and more proactive than himself. In comparison, he was much inferior.
"Xier, you really make me feel ashamed of myself today." Xiao Yongyan sighed.
Lin Xi then came back to his senses from his heroic declaration and realized that he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said.
Oh no, her character is that of a rich lady, and suddenly saying these things really ruins her character.
"Actually," Lin Xi's tone weakened, "I heard a lot of this from my eldest brother."
"Yes, I know." Xiao Yongyan had a faint smile on his face.
He now discovered that his young wife liked to push the blame on her older brother whenever something went wrong.
But judging from her tone and expression just now, those words were clearly what she really meant.
"I don't mean to oppose your career development, I just want you to be safe." Xiao Yongyan completely lost his previous momentum, and his tone even sounded a little pitiful.
Pitiable? How could Xiao Yongyan be pitiful? She must have thought wrongly. Lin Xi shook her head. She must have used up all her strength in front of the governor just now, so she had an illusion at this moment.
"Although being exiled to a remote place is considered a punishment, the emperor hates my father to the core and will definitely not let me go." Xiao Yongyan said, "So, try to keep a low profile."
Talking about this, Lin Xi felt very strange, "I really never thought I could survive."
Xiao Yongyan was silent for a long time, until Lin Xi felt the air solidify, then he spoke, "It was father. I don't know what father did to negotiate with the emperor to let us live."
Generally speaking, to eliminate old ministers, one must be ruthless and kill them all.
Lin Xi didn't know much about history, but she had seen a lot in the company. Once the department changed its top leader, there would be a lot of personnel changes.
Most of the former subordinates would be assigned to unimportant positions, and for the royal family, any possible risks must be avoided.
The conditions proposed by the Regent at that time must have been a hundred times more important than Xiao Yongyan's life, so he sentenced Xiao Yongyan to exile instead of beheading.
As for myself, I followed behind and saved my life.
Now that she thought about it, if her father had died in exchange for her own life, she would not be able to let it go even if he had to exile her to a remote place.
"Xiao Yongyan, do you want revenge?"
Xiao Yongyan was shocked, and sneered, "What ability can a mere teacher have?"
Although the words were vague, Lin Xi had a plan in mind.
As a son, if you can forget the hatred of your father's murder, can you still be called a human being?
"But now I have offended Hei Er and the county magistrate. I'm afraid my life will be difficult in the future." Lin Xi frowned. It seemed that a fake rice mill was far from enough to bring down these two people. She was naive at the beginning.
"There is a long way to go, there will always be opportunities." Xiao Yongyan looked into the distance.
Lin Xi looked in the direction he was pointing, which seemed to be the direction of the capital.
…
In recent days, Lin Xi stayed in the village on the grounds of poor health.
While she was bored, she went to wander around the fields at home and unexpectedly heard an interesting story from the Ma brothers.
It turned out that many people in the village saw Lin Xi raising ducks and fish in the fields and making a lot of money, so they followed suit.
But they just put the fish and duck fry into the fields and didn't take care of them anymore.
The ducks ate the small fish when they were hungry, and in the end, most of the seedlings were killed.
Some dissatisfied villagers found Dai Endong and asked him why his ducks ate all the fish fry. Dai Endong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Ducks are born in water, so what else can they eat if not fish?
The villagers also asked why the ducks in Linxi’s fields didn’t eat the small fish.
Dai Endong shook his head. He thought that other people must have their own methods. How would he know?
"Madam Xiao, don't walk around casually now. Everyone in the village is eager to ask you for advice." Ma Laosi reminded.
Lin Xi smiled. Those people who followed the trend without knowing the real situation would certainly not have good results.
She did have the idea of going public, but not right now.
"I understand. Thanks for the reminder." Lin Xi still said a few polite words.
"System, help me analyze the situation of the rice fields and make nutrient solution."
[Analyzing...]
[Nutrient solution configuration plan has been generated]
【Configuration completed】
[This configuration consumes 10 experience points, and the current remaining experience points are 157 points]
"Brother Ma, it's too hot today. Please go to the fields over there and see if there's any water shortage." Lin Xi made up an excuse to get Ma Laosi away.
Ma Laosi is also a simple-minded person. He does whatever Lin Xi says.
While Ma Laosi was away, Lin Xi quickly walked to the field and poured the prepared nutrient solution.
It is estimated that by the time the harvest comes in autumn, it should be easy to hand over the so-called ten stones of grain.
After checking the fields, Lin Xi went to Ma's house to check the construction of the sunken pigpen.
The most capable person in the Ma family is the eldest brother, Ma Shanfeng. After Lin Xi gave them the blueprint, Ma Shanfeng made the pigpen exactly as Lin Xi needed based on the blueprint.
The place is big enough and each pig house is clearly divided, just waiting for the piglets to come in.
However, the Ma family did not have that much money to buy many piglets at one time. In the end, Lin Xi made the decision and paid 120 taels to buy the piglets.
Generally speaking, an adult pig can be sold for around ten taels of silver, and a piglet costs around two taels.
Therefore, people with poor conditions can only raise chickens at most and cannot afford to raise pigs.
After making sure there was no problem with the pigpen, Lin Xi gave the Ma family a recipe. In order to take into account the fact that they could not read, Lin Xi asked Xiao Yongyan to draw out everything.
Ma Shanfeng took the painting and saw it clearly at a glance.
But he was still a little confused, "Do we need to feed pigs so much food?"
He eats better than anyone else, Ma Shanfeng thought.
