Chapter 55 Being an elite female matchmaker chooses to farm (4)

  【Ding—Explore the land of the Southern Barbarians, each time you explore a county, you will be rewarded with a map of that county】

  The system released a task for her in due course.

   But maps? Do you think she won't buy it?

  The map of Furong County in my hand was bought for money together with Geographical Records.

  The system gives options, accept the task or reject it?

  Xu Yin thought that if she couldn’t finish it anyway, she would neither deduct her energy points nor make the progress bar go backwards, so she just took it, in case it was completed by accident.

  【Ding—trigger the long-term task: build a homeland】

  Just accepted the task of exploring the Nanban, and a new task popped up.

   No specific requirements were released, nor were there any rewards for completing the task.

  Maybe the dog system is pumping again, but Xu Yin ignored it.

  She continued to think about Furong County, which is really similar to Hunan Province, with similar climate and crops, and even the dialect spoken by the local people is somewhat similar.

  The only shortcoming is that the specialty products are not as rich as Tongcheng, but it is understandable, after all, there is a long history.

  If Furong County is really the Xiang Province of later generations...

  Xu Yin's mind flashed a map of Huaxia in the shape of a rooster, and she almost laughed out loud with joy.

  Nanman co-authored the Guangdong-Guangzhou area!

   Oh my god, I was worried all the way, why didn't I think of it earlier.

  If she didn’t wear it this time, she wanted to go to the south.

   Now it’s all right. Traveling at public expense, bodyguards and nanny will serve you all the way. When you arrive at your destination, you will have your own big villa (Jinnan Prince’s Mansion). You can stay as long as you want.

  Of course, if you don’t want to live, you can’t leave the fief.

  Looking a bit aggrieved, limiting the range of activities.

  But the snail shell can still be used as a dojo, Nanman is so big, enough for her to wander around.

  What's more, compared to the treacherous Beijing, Nanman, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, is more suitable for her to survive her life and not be cannon fodder.

  After thinking about it, Xu Yin was completely let go.

  Early the next morning, he took out the bank notes at the bottom of the box, and in the eyes of Mother Feng accusing her of using the dowry silver at will, kept two 500 taels of denominations just in case, and planned to exchange the rest for supplies.

   "Chunlan, you take a few boys to buy grain, grain seeds, and seeds of vegetables and fruits. They should be freshly harvested this year, so that there will be no insects in the next year. If there is no such thing, old grain will do."

   "Xia Zhu, go buy poultry, pick more eggs, eggs and ducks."

   There are two remaining maids who were sent by her to purchase cotton and cotton cloth.

   Cotton needs cotton seeds, and cotton cloth needs thick and fine cloth, and they have to look for silkworms after they are finished.

   "Qiu Shuang, your hometown is Linhai County, do you know Silkworm Baby? Is it the one that spins silk, cocoons and then weaves silk?"

"Know!"

  Although Qiushuang didn't know why the girl bought silkworms, she still nodded obediently.

  Xu Yin taught her how to pick healthy silkworm babies, and when she met someone who knew how to raise silkworms, she hired them despite the high salary.

   Waiting for the maids to leave one after another, Xu Yin handed three thousand taels to Nanny Feng:

   "Grandma, please find someone you trust, and help me replace it with fishing nets, fishing rods, and a batch of iron sheets."

  The latter is the key point.

  Iron has many uses. In addition to improving farm tools, she also wants to build a boat, a patrol and fishing boat that can withstand weak typhoons.

  Nurse Feng was startled: "Girl, this piece of iron..."

   "It's the best if you can change it, but it doesn't matter if you can't."

  Yanhua does not allow private trading of ironware. Once discovered, the crime of exile will start.

  But there are many princes and nobles who buy and sell ironware in private, and the court has not seen how to control it.

  Xu Yin sent people under him to go out to buy big things, but he didn't deliberately hide it, only the purchase of iron.

  Nurse Feng came back and said that iron is not easy to buy, and it took a lot of effort to get a hundred catties from the black market.

  Iron has a high density, and one hundred catties of iron is actually only the size of nine footballs. Xu Yin scattered and hid it among the supplies, making it difficult for people to notice.

   At this time, she is fortunate that she is not in the later life, and she will not be called when passing the security check.

   Besides, which of the chariots and riders of the palace and the soldiers guarding the city gate would dare to poke blindly into the carriage with a long gun?

  But for this hundred catties of iron, it cost her one-third of the silver ticket.

   Soon, the news that the future princess spent all her dowry money spread among the palace staff.

   It's not that they gossip, but what dowry means to a woman, not only women know it, but men also know it.

   After all, who doesn't have a mother? Whose mother would use the dowry as a last resort if she couldn't get a kiss?

  The young lady who came out of the prime minister's mansion usually spends money lavishly, but on the way south, she actually spent all the ten thousand taels of silver notes at the bottom of the box.

   This is not ten taels or a hundred taels, but a full ten thousand taels!

  Oh my god, it's scary for women to spend money! Two months to spend 10,000 taels, who can afford it!

   Oh, someone is getting married soon! It's still the matchmaker made by the emperor, and they get married when they arrive in the fief...

   By the way, how could the emperor give such a woman to his prince? Is it really not sent to disturb the palace and give the prince a headache?

   Can't help but look at their prince with infinite sympathy.

  Yan Kejin: "..."

  Xu Yin didn't know these things, but even if she knew, she laughed it off.

  Isn’t the dowry just a way for the married woman’s family to straighten her back and live a better life?

  She has always firmly believed that money is for spending, not for saving. What's the point of not using the ready-made dowry money, but living a tight and unsatisfactory life?

  From Jingzhong to Furong County, the people around her were sent around by her.

  When I first came out of Beijing, it was just a small fight, and I only got together ten carriages after I came down from several counties.

   This time when entering Furong County, the ten thousand taels of banknotes at the bottom of the box were not moved except for the emergency one thousand taels, and the rest were taken out to exchange for supplies, and they brought back a cart full of rice, flour, grain, oil, cotton, silkworms, and various seeds...

  Lin Lin always added more than a dozen horse-drawn carts, twenty or thirty mule carts full of grain, and the coachmen alone hired many people.

  Thanks to the presence of soldiers from the palace, even though there were people coveting, they did not dare to act rashly. Otherwise, this road will definitely not be so safe.

  Everyone in the palace secretly rejoiced: Thanks to the fact that the border between Nanban and Furong County is close at hand, otherwise would they still want to buy it? The future princess is too flowery, so they worry about the prince.

Yan Kejin heard the report from his subordinates, and learned that Xu Yin not only bought grain, but also grain seeds; not only cotton, but also cotton seeds; not only silk brocade, but also silkworms, and a pile of There are all kinds of fruits and vegetables seeds that the dark guards can't distinguish... His eyes are thoughtful.

  Actually, after the fief was granted, he sent people to collect materials from all over Yanhua and transport them to Nanman.

   It was only carried out in the name of traffickers and traveling merchants, and few people knew about it.

  On the surface, there are only a few carriages of luggage transported from the Jingzhong mansion.

  Earlier, I heard that he, a brainless concubine, would send people to buy it wherever she went, and stock up on ten carriages of goods along the way.

   Now I find that she doesn't seem to be stupid. Would a stupid person think of hoarding seeds? Even silkworms are considered?

  Yan Kejin's mouth curled up into a smile of interest: I'll know soon whether I'm really stupid or not.
