Chapter 452: Find a way to make money, or do something else?
The details on the farm cannot be hidden from the eyes of those who are watching.
Since Jiang Yubai has come, it is not surprising that he discovered these things.
Xu Minghui had no intention of hiding it and said calmly, "It was my sister-in-law who did it."
"No one in the Xu family knew how to farm before this. These things can't be understood just by hearsay. We just did what my sister-in-law told us to do. I can't explain more."
Sang Zhixia does not keep any secrets to himself. Whether it is the methods of farming, brewing, or the production and sale of soap flowers, as long as there are any skills that can be used at home, he tries to teach everyone.
But being able to learn and being able to think are two different things.
Without Sang Zhixia paving the way, no matter how fast they learned, it would be useless.
Jiang Yubai's eyes flickered when he heard the voice, and he smiled, "If the key lies in the seeds, then it doesn't seem that difficult to deal with."
"By the way, can you tell me when my sister-in-law and the others will be back?"
Xu Minghui gave Jiang Yubai a meaningful look, and said with a hint of a smile, "Didn't you secretly leave someone to escort you all the way? You don't even know this?"
Jiang Yubai smiled but said nothing.
Xu Minghui said calmly, "My sister-in-law is easy to talk to most of the time, but even the easiest to talk to can have a strong temper."
"If you want to get something from her, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
After Xu Minghui finished speaking, he walked away with the account book in his arms without looking back.
Jiang Yubai narrowed his eyes subtly upon seeing this, and sighed with a smile: "Having the ability is one thing, but it is not easy to convince these people."
Xu Yu was eager to protect his wife, so it was not difficult to understand why he favored Sang Zhixia.
But with so many people in the Xu family, young and old, they all subconsciously put Sang Zhixia first, and the meaning of protection revealed between the lines was beyond words.
It is not easy to make these arrogant people in the Xu family have the same reaction.
The people who followed Jiang Yubai felt sorry for him suffering and obeying orders, so they whispered, "Young Master, why don't you stay out of the village for a few days and wait for the person you are waiting for to come back?"
The people in the Xu family really don’t know what politeness is.
From the first day of the autumn harvest until now, a full ten days have passed. Jiang Yubai has either been keeping accounts or harvesting rice in the fields, and he has not had a moment of free time.
Others can get paid for their hard work, but Jiang Yubai is so busy that he has no time to rest and has not seen any benefits.
If it were in Lingnan, had Jiang Yubai ever suffered such hardship?
The person who spoke up wanted to persuade him, but Jiang Yubai just said, "If you don't suffer for others, how can you have any face?"
If we can get rice seeds that guarantee increased production and transplant them to the land in Lingnan, the yield will double. Not to mention suffering physical hardships for a few days, even helping the Xu family with hard labor for another half a year would be acceptable.
Jiang Yubai waved his hand to signal his subordinates not to say anything more. He stood up, brushed his clothes lazily, and said slowly: "I know how to handle things in the village. I just need to keep an eye on the reaction in Kyoto."
"I heard that the Crown Prince was imprisoned in the Eastern Palace, and there has been no news of him for a long time?"
The attendant lowered his head and whispered, "The incident in Shu was exposed, and the Crown Prince was implicated. His status has declined significantly, and now he seems to be in decline."
"Declining?"
Jiang Yubai snorted and said sarcastically, "If the situation really declines, then I probably won't have to harvest rice anymore."
"You all underestimate the love that the current emperor has for his son. As long as the current emperor is still alive, the crown prince will not fall."
Such blatant favoritism may not be a good thing for others.
But for Jiang Yubai, it was a rare opportunity.
If the prince's position was not so stable, how would he have had the chance to come to the table and speak?
Jiang Yubai smiled with an ambiguous smile and walked away: "Let's go, we have to go back and have dinner, and we have to continue working tomorrow."
"Didn't Xu Minghui give me two boxes of soap flowers as wages? Let's go back and take a look."
Jiang Yubai happily studied what soap flowers were, and at the same time, the account books related to soap flowers were delivered to Sang Zhixia.
Xu Yu originally didn't want Sang Zhixia to worry about such things.
But the things have been delivered, and I have to take a look at them.
Xu Yu snipped the candle wicks with scissors, lit a few more candles, and then said in a muffled voice, "These are just ordinary account books. Xu Minghui and the others have checked them and confirmed that there is nothing wrong with them. Why should you bother with them again?"
Sang Zhixia turned the page and said with a smile, "Xu Minghui is cautious."
"You know he's always been acting this way. Haven't you complained enough?"
Ever since they left home and handed over the affairs of the family farm and shop to Xu Minghui, Xu Minghui would send the summarized account books to Sang Zhixia for review on time without any delay.
He had been muttering about it since the account book was sent to Xu Yu, and he was still muttering about it now.
How long does this person intend to keep talking about this?
Xu Yu suppressed his resentment and sat down next to Sang Zhixia, saying unhappily, "He is cautious, so cautious that he doesn't even bother to use his brain."
"Zhizhi, how about..."
"Stop."
Sang Zhixia reached out to cover Xu Yu's mouth, and under Xu Yu's dissatisfied gaze, she gasped and said, "Xu Yu, I am pregnant, not disabled."
"You keep saying no to this and no to that, and there's nothing I can do about it. You're going too far."
Sang Zhixia initially thought that Xu Yu's inexplicable nervousness would dissipate with time, but it turned out that she was just overthinking some things.
As time passed, Xu Yu's tension not only did not decrease, but the symptoms became more and more severe.
If this continues, there will be nothing to do.
Xu Yu held Sang Zhixia's hand and could not refute.
Sang Zhixia pinched his wrist and said slowly, "Old Qi has already said that I'm in good health and my child is growing up well. It won't interfere with anything if I do what I can. Why do you keep staring at me?"
Xu Yu pursed his lips and said nothing.
Sang Zhixia couldn't stand it any longer and raised her hand to push away his big head that kept rubbing against her shoulder. She said with a smile: "Stop it, I'm talking to you about serious matters."
Sang Zhixia closed the account book on the table and said seriously, "This time we went out, in addition to the farm in Shu, we also brought back a lot of silver. Have you decided what to do with it?"
The prince fell down, and Xu Yu was full.
The huge amount of money obtained in one go was deposited into the treasury, and there was immediately a considerable surplus in the account.
Adding to that the savings from the farm and shop for half a year, as well as the total profit after the harvest, it may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that he is the richest, but he can still be confidently said to be quite wealthy.
At least Sang Zhixia herself had never seen so much money.
Xu Yu was full of murderous intent when he sharpened his knife and went to intercept the money. But when he got the silver, he didn't think much about it. He just leaned on Sang Zhixia's shoulder and said lazily: "Put it all in your private room as your own. When the child is born, I will buy candy for you and the child."
Sang Zhixia was so angry that she laughed: "Buy some candy?"
"Well, buy whatever you want to eat."
"You can't eat that much."
Sang Zhixia pinched Xu Yu's nose, and amid Xu Yu's seemingly resistance but actually motionless protest, she moved her shoulders and whispered, "Money is just sitting there for nothing. Why don't you think of a way to make money from it and do something else?"
