Chapter 59 Enclosure



The two came to the dense forest in the east, and Shang Ruoyi saw the trick at a glance.

This is the Bagua Liangyi Formation, a killing formation on the battlefield. Anyone who enters this formation will feel a great pressure appearing on himself.

When He Jingheng saw the understanding look in her eyes, he knew that she had already seen through the formation.

Just then, He Jingxi came running over and said, "Sister-in-law, the owners of two iron shops in town came and said that you had something custom-made from them."

"What a coincidence, the things were delivered directly here."

When they placed cylindrical iron objects on the ground in front of everyone, no one understood what they were used for.

Shang Ruoyi squatted on the ground and assembled the cannon barrels one by one. This device was very similar to modern artillery, except that it was not filled with gunpowder, but powder developed by her. If there was an enemy attack, she could poison the opponent by pulling the fuse.

It is a perfect match with the Bagua Liangyi Formation set up by He Jingheng.

Shang Ruoyi spent a long while adjusting the cannon barrels, and it was already noon when she had placed them in the positions she wanted.

It was too late to rush to town now.

At this moment, Shang Ruoyi saw from afar that Mr. Wu was dragging an old man towards the He family.

The old man was obviously very unwilling.

"You'll know if you come and take a look, take a look!" Old Wu shouted at the top of his voice, "Don't you believe in my vision?"

“Bullshit vision, I believed your lies back then, that’s why I ended up in this situation today.” The old man flicked his sleeves and was about to go back.

"Old Xie, since you are here, you should come and take a look. This is definitely a house you have never seen before." Old Wu pulled Old Xie's arm and said, "Take a look, just one look!"

Mr. Xie was helpless and said helplessly: "If you read it today, will you still bother you by writing to you?"

“No!”

"Do you still knock on your door every day?"

“Don’t knock!”

"Are you still looking for an enemy to chase and intercept?"

“No traffic jam!”

"Okay! Let's go!" Old Xie took the lead and walked towards the He family.

Mr. Wu was delighted and hurriedly followed him.

Mr. Wu handed him the blueprint and said, "Take a look. What do you think?"

Mr. Xie looked at the blueprint for a long time and walked around the house several times.

He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Who drew this? It's so exquisite! It really opened my eyes!"

Seeing how obsessed he was with the drawings, Mr. Wu knew he would be able to keep him this time.

"How is it? Are you still leaving?" Mr. Wu sat on the blue brick, dusted off his body, and looked at Mr. Xie leisurely.

"No, no, no."

"Still hiding?"

"Don't hide, don't hide!"

"Are you still saying that you are a jinx?"

Mr. Xie paused and said, "Whether it is a jinx or not, you know it yourself."

Old Wu glanced at him and said, "If it weren't for me, would you have escaped here and encountered such a nice house?"

Old Xie really wanted to kick him in the mouth. Although he was not one of the richest people in the capital, he lived a well-off life. If he hadn't been tricked by him into making glass bottles for a concubine in the palace, the result would not only fail to satisfy the concubine but also anger her. The emperor directly ordered the closure of his shop and drove him out of the capital. He brought his whole family and a small amount of silver to this extreme north before he was not expelled again. There was no other way, they could only settle here.

Mr. Wu knew he was in the wrong, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "It's been so many years, why bring up the past again?"

Mr. Xie glanced at him and said, "You haven't told me yet, who drew this blueprint?"

Shang Ruoyi stepped forward and said with a smile: "If you are referring to this drawing, it was drawn by me."

Mr. Xie looked at Shang Ruoyi in astonishment, and sized her up for a long while: "Are you serious?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Of course."

Old Wu walked up to her and whispered, "This is the old stubborn man you mentioned. The colored glaze he made can be said to be the best in Tianshun. Besides that, he is also very obsessed with building houses."

Shang Ruoyi understood and said to Mr. Xie with a smile: "Senior, could you help me make the colored glaze windows?"

"Sure, sure!" He looked at the blueprint and said with a smile, "But, for this fire-ground system, can you draw a detailed map for me?"

"Of course."

After dinner, Shang Ruoyi came to the earthen slope outside the yard. Looking at the vast expanse of barren land, excitement flashed in her eyes. She seemed to have seen her own business empire.

The next day was the day for Zhao Junyi to receive acupuncture. When she went there, Zhao Junyi was scratching himself like a monkey. When he saw her coming, he almost cried with excitement: "Auntie, you are finally here, I am so itchy!"

Shang Ruoyi smiled, put the medicine box in order, took out the thickest silver needle, and stabbed it fiercely into his arm.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Zhao Junyi still cried out in pain.

But just like last time, the itching on my body stopped instantly.

Alive!

Zhao Junyi took a long breath. What kind of strange disease was this? It's too torturous!

"Auntie, do you know when this disease will be cured?"

Shang Ruoyi shook her head: "Master, your question really stumps me. You know, this is a rare disease. Even the miracle doctor was helpless. I just found this method by accident."

Zhao Junyi knew there was no hope, so he had to give up.

"But don't be discouraged. There are records in ancient medical books that some patients were cured by this method."

"really?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded.

Zhao Junyi felt relieved when he got her nod.

Shang Ruoyi saw that the time was right and said with a smile, "Master, you said before that we can reclaim the wasteland in the village and grow crops on it. Is that true?"

"Really, really." He picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Just plant the fenced land."

"놖 wants to enclose all the wasteland south of 놖's house."

“Puff…” Zhao Junyi spat out a mouthful of tea: “All? Do you know how much that is? Two hundred acres!”

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "I know."

"Why do you need so much land? Even if I hire you, it will be difficult to plant all of it. Besides, the more land you have, the heavier the taxes. The land here is very poor. If you encounter a bad year, there is no harvest at all. If you can't pay the tax on time, you will be fined."

"No problem." She smiled and said, "No matter how much the tax is, it won't be less at all."

Seeing that she insisted, Zhao Junyi stopped trying to persuade her. If she couldn't pay the tax, she would definitely give him money, and he could make a fortune then. Why not?

When Shang Ruoyi returned home, she immediately asked her husband to fence off the two hundred mu of land in the south.

The people in the village saw that she had enclosed so much land and laughed at her for being greedy. With so much land, she would have to pay a huge amount every year, and she would cry if she couldn't pay.

Wang Erzhu saw this and walked over and said, "Boss, there is so much land here, what if nothing grows?"

Nothing growing?

What if the things in her space are vegetarian?
