Xu Tao put all his energy into this. He was able to endure hardships and was willing to work hard. He even made a special trip to learn how to do accounting from the accountant of the workshop.
However, he did not need to be responsible for the accounting. Qian Chunhua assigned him two assistants, both of whom were young men from the Wuying Sect.
One person helped him sell vegetables, and the other was responsible for doing the accounts.
Qian Chunhua had trained these two people early on. From the time they started learning to read, she took over and asked Zhao Yongwen to teach them arithmetic.
When the shop opened, she also asked them to learn from the accountant, and now they are put to use.
While Qian Chunhua was busy, Qingyun was not idle either.
Since he was kicked out of the academy, the Duke of Weiguo and his wife found another academy for him - Shigu Academy, which was another academy second only to Bailu Academy.
As he wished, Qingyun was admitted into the academy's Jinshi class.
Now, he dared not do anything wrong in the academy and just studied silently. He hoped that he could grow up as soon as possible and grow up to the point where he no longer had to live his life under the guise of anyone else.
During his time in the Duke's Mansion, although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to take any action. He just kept thinking about what he should do to make the Duke of Wei and his wife value him and only value him and like him.
However, his retreat was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Of all the valuable trinkets, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, etc. in the Duke's Mansion, Qingyun would secretly take away one or two and hide them in the small room he bought.
In the room that belonged to him in the bedroom, he hid a large wooden box under the bed to store these items. He did not even tell Zhao Qingshui and Zhao Xiaojuan about this.
These will be his escape route from now on.
Time flies, and it’s the end of the year in the blink of an eye.
The day before the Little New Year, the academy was on holiday, and Qingsong, Qingfeng and the others returned home to prepare for the New Year.
The King of Yizhou and other princes from various places also arrived in the capital on this day. They came to congratulate the Emperor of Minhan on his birthday.
The first day of the first lunar month is the 60th birthday of Emperor Min Han.
The first person to arrive in the capital was the King of Yizhou. He rode a tall horse, dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, with a sword at his waist, and looked heroic.
Behind him followed one hundred personal guards, all of them experienced warriors. They held spears in their hands, with serious expressions, protecting the prince's safety.
These were the King of Yizhou's visible and covert men, who had secretly infiltrated the capital several months ago.
In addition to the King of Yizhou, there was also the first prince, the King of Chuxiang, and the fourth prince, the King of Zhongshan. These two princes also arrived in the capital on the day after the King of Yizhou arrived in the capital.
As several princes entered the city and the birthday of Emperor Minhan approached, the atmosphere in the capital became warm and cheerful.
However, all this excitement has nothing to do with Qian Chunhua. As the year draws to a close, it’s time for her to take stock of the assets in her hands.
She herself did not expect that the greenhouse vegetables would bring her a profit of 6,350 taels of silver in just one winter.
The vegetables sold in the shop were in short supply throughout the winter. Even though the price was about five times that of ordinary vegetables, it still attracted many wealthy families in Beijing.
Fortunately, the road from Zhuangzi to the official road had been repaired a long time ago, and there were more than ten trucks carrying vegetables every day.
The booming greenhouse vegetables have enabled Village Chief Jiang to see another way to make money. He plans to lead the villagers to grow vegetables next winter as well.
The lives of the villagers in Taoyuan Township are becoming more and more promising.
