Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 112 People are good

Yun Xi raised the corner of her mouth, "I will listen to Grandpa."

Yun Songlin's beard twitched. "Then let's separate the courtyards. I like quietness. Living together is too noisy. I can't stand it."

Yun Xi smiled faintly. It seemed that the old man was well aware of the principle that things that are far away smell good, but things that are close by stink. He was worried that conflicts would arise among the families over time.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Then Yunxi started to divide the courtyards. Yunxi and his family must live in the main courtyard.

The East Courtyard and the West Courtyard were the same size, and the layout was similar. Yun Huaishan's family lived in the East Courtyard, and Yun Huaian's family lived in the West Courtyard.

Yunsheng and his group temporarily lived in the cross-courtyard.

The old man still chose to live in the East Courtyard with Yun Huaishan's family.

As for the rent of these two families, Yun Xi also symbolically collected 50 taels.

After the courtyard was divided, everyone was busy moving luggage and cleaning the house.

In fact, the house had been cleaned so thoroughly that there was not even a speck of dust. They did not need to clean much, they just had to move their luggage into their respective yards and move in right away.

Yunxi was also sorting out her things in her room. Since her eldest uncle and fourth uncle's families did not live with them in the main courtyard, she was assigned to the backyard of the main courtyard. Everyone else lived in the middle courtyard.

In addition to the main house, there are also east and west wing rooms and an annex room in the backyard. She plans to use the east wing as a study and the west wing as her storeroom.

Although it was a bit lonely to live alone in a yard, it was better because of the privacy. She would not have to worry about being seen when she took things out of the space.

The room was cleaned up quickly. I went to the middle courtyard to say hello to my parents and my brothers and sisters, then returned to my room and fell asleep.

Silent all night.

The next day, I slept until I woke up naturally. When I woke up, the yard was quiet. The sunlight shone through the window lattice into the room, illuminating the room brightly.

Lying on her back on the bed, Yun Xi took a long time to finally wake up completely.

He rolled around in the quilt twice, stretched himself, and sighed comfortably.

I slept so well last night. I really want to live a life of eating, sleeping, and sleeping. Anyway, there are so many treasures in the space, I can lie flat for the rest of my life.

But soon she thought of her loving family, as well as the tribesmen and villagers who moved here with her, and Yun Xi sat up straight.

It is impossible to lie flat.

From today on, we will roll up our sleeves and work hard to ensure that everyone in Yunjia Village can have meat for three meals a day, that adults and children can read, and that they can practice Tai Chi in the morning and square dance in the evening.

When I finished washing and went to the front yard, I found that the sun had already risen to the top of the sky. Everyone was busy.

Not only that, Ying Tianchen also brought the household registration clerk with him and personally handled the house deeds, land deeds, and household registration matters for the people of Yunjia Village.

Yun Xi felt a little embarrassed. Others had been working for half a day, but she had just gotten up.

At the same time, he felt very comforted. This young prince was a nice guy. He knew that they were busy now and could not spare the time to go to the county magistrate's city to handle these matters, so he actually asked the official to come to their house in person.

This prince, tsk tsk.

People are great!

I went to the kitchen to find some food and then went to see the land that everyone had divided up.

Basically, everyone didn't have the money to buy more land, so they just let the government distribute the land to them according to their previous land.

Of the last 180 acres of land, only about 20 acres were divided out, and the rest all belonged to Yunxi's family.

Looking at so many fields, Yun Xi felt that the first step should be to hire or buy some people.

Not only does farming require people, but even a house as big as this one requires people to clean and so on.

They had just arrived here and were not very familiar with the county magistrate's city. She was worried about finding bad people, so she went straight to find Ying Tianchen.

"Do you know who used to take care of the land on this farm? Was it rented out to tenants, or was it hired to farm it?"

Ying Tianchen wanted to say that neither was true. Those who had been here before were family members of his subordinates, or people who had been injured in the army or retired due to old age and had nowhere to go.

He asked, "You want to find someone to help you farm?"

"Yes, there are so many fields. There are only a few of us in the family, and I don't want my parents to work so hard."

Ying Tianchen was a little annoyed. He thought that Miss Yun needed a house and land, but he didn't consider that she also needed people. Fortunately, those people were arranged in Dongjiao Manor, so it would be convenient for them to come back.

After a moment's deliberation, he said, "They are some helpless people, most of them are veterans who have retired from the battlefield, many of them are disabled, but they can still work."

Yun Xi was startled, "Does our arrival mean they have nowhere to go?"

Ying Tianchen said hurriedly, "No, they have all been arranged. But if you don't mind using them, you can let them come back."

Yun Xi nodded quickly, "Of course I don't mind, as long as the person has good character, it doesn't matter if the work is not done well."

The corners of Ying Tianchen's mouth curved into a beautiful arc. His future princess was kind-hearted.

"Well, don't worry, there is nothing wrong with his character."

After saying this, he thought about the fact that some of the land had been divided up, and wondered if there would be a need for as many people as before. He asked again,

"How many people do you need?"

"How much do we need before?"

"That's a bit much."

"It's okay. I'll have other things to do and will need help."

Seeing that the people who farmed had been taken care of, he still needed to buy some maids to do the cleaning, so he asked again, "Are there any reliable human traffickers in the city? I want to buy some people back."

Ying Tianchen also thought that the mansion they lived in really needed someone to take care of it, and thought of the housekeeper he left behind, so he said, "The housekeeper Cao who stayed in the manor is not bad. If you need such a person, you can keep him. You can also let him go if you need to buy someone."

Yun Xi turned her head to look at him and remained silent for a long time.

Ying Tianchen didn't know what to say, but Miss Yun just stared at him. His heart began to beat wildly, "What, what's wrong?"

Yun Xi stared at him straight and asked, "Tell me honestly, was this manor yours before? You are too familiar with the people and things here."

Just as Ying Tianchen was about to say something, Yun Xi added, "I want to hear the truth. If it really was yours, I wouldn't be so ungrateful as to say no and take my people to find another place. I still have to thank you."

Ying Tianchen opened and closed his mouth again and again, and finally sighed helplessly.

"Well, it's mine."

Yun Xi grinned, "I knew it. But why don't you admit it? Are you worried that I won't give you money?"

"No, no, no, I'm worried about you..." Give more silver.

But this reason seems hard to explain.

Why should I pay more? Because he quoted a low price.

Why do you set the price so low? Isn't it just to be nice to people?

Why should we be nice to others?

Ahem, she is the future princess.

Thinking of this, Ying Tianchen's face suddenly turned red.

Yun Xi looked at it curiously. Why was he so anxious and blushing for no apparent reason?

I've only heard of people with red eyes due to anxiety, but this is the first time I've seen someone with a red face due to anxiety.

"Hahahaha..." Yun Xi couldn't help but laugh insincerely.

Hearing this smile, Ying Tianchen felt even more embarrassed and even his neck turned red.

Yun Xi suddenly felt like a lecher who flirted with decent women.

It is indeed beautiful to see a beauty blushing.

Ahem, I'm being reckless. I'm still a teenager.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I know you gave me this farm for the sake of saving my life, but you were worried that I wouldn't want to take advantage of you, so you didn't want me to know that this farm is yours, right?"

Ying Tianchen turned his head away and didn't look at him, but still hummed.

Yun Xi pursed her lips, her dimples filled with smiles.

It is said that if you don’t take advantage of an opportunity, you are a bastard.

If someone wants to sell something to you at a lower price, you’d be a fool to be unhappy about it.

But what he said was, "You don't have to be like this. I've already used your dagger and jade pendant to offset the life-saving grace. The manor is worth what it should be. You don't have to worry about me not having money. You should know that the Seven Stars Tower belongs to our family and we've made a lot of money. Even if you give me the manor at the normal price, I can still afford it."

Ying Tianchen shook his head. "I feel bad for raising the originally agreed 6000 taels to taels. I can't raise it any further."

The dagger and jade pendant cannot be considered as rewards for saving one's life; they are tokens of love.

"Okay, if you don't want to add it, then don't add it. I'd love to have it."

She knew that she had definitely taken advantage of him this time, but it didn't matter, she would find a chance to repay the favor in the future.

"Little sister, what are you doing here?" Yun Yan ran over panting.

Yun Xi did not answer but asked, "Second brother, are you done with that?"

"Almost done. Except for our family, all other families' house deeds and land deeds have been completed. Dad asked you to come over."

Yun Xi nodded, "Got it, I'll be right there."

She knew why her father asked her to go there, as the money from the farm had not been paid yet.

"Go, I'll get you some silver."

Yun Xi went back to the yard, and when she came out, she was holding a thick stack of silver bills in her hand.

After giving the silver note to Ying Tianchen, Yun Huaiyuan had already obtained the house deed, land deed and field deed.

From now on, this huge farm belongs to Yunxi's family.

Ying Tianchen gave Butler Cao to Yun Xi. Yun Xi was worried that he would not be willing to do so. After all, following a prince was different from following a commoner.

She asked Butler Cao, "Are you willing?"

Butler Cao bowed and replied, "This old servant couldn't ask for more."

"Okay, you can stay in our house from now on. Our house is not as good as the palace, and things are more trivial. But don't worry, as long as you stay, the treatment will not be worse than that of the palace."

"Thank you, young lady." Butler Cao was very respectful.

"I'll ask Guard Yu to give you his indenture contract later." Ying Tianchen said.

Yun Xi nodded, "Okay, thank you."

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Ying Tianchen had to reluctantly say goodbye again.

Yun Xi sent him to the entrance of the village this time. "After you've settled down completely, come to the farm and I'll treat you to a meal. I'll cook it myself. I guarantee it'll be better than the food at the Seven Stars House."

Ying Tianchen instantly showed his white teeth and walked away contentedly.

When Yunxi returned home, she saw that her house was surrounded by people.

I heard that everyone wanted to go to the city to buy some necessities and farm tools.

Without farm tools, I can't work in the fields. Although I can't grow crops in this season, I can still grow some vegetables.

"My daughter, do you want to go into the city for a stroll?" Xi asked.

Yun Xi shook her head, "Mom, I'm not going today. Please ask my second brother to arrange a carriage to take you there."

Xi waved her hand, "No need for your second brother, your father will drive the ox cart."

Yunxi took out a few silver ingots and stuffed them into Xi's pocket. "Okay, you and Dad can go shopping. Don't be reluctant to spend money on anything you need."

Xi wanted to say that she had money, but Yun Xi didn't give her a chance and turned away.

Yunxi went to find housekeeper Cao, "Uncle Cao, please take my mother and the villagers to the city. They need to buy some things. Please also buy a few servants."

"Okay girl, how many servants do you need?"

Yun Xi counted on her fingers, "For such a big house, I estimate that at least seven or eight people will be needed to clean, cook, and do laundry."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "You can buy whatever you want. If there are any smart people who can read, buy them all."

Yun Xi thought that she would have to do some business with others, and she would not be able to do it without someone who could read and do accounting. There were not many people in their village who could read.

Butler Cao counted them all one by one, and Yun Xi gave him another two hundred taels before letting him leave.

Then he went to find Yunsheng and handed over the village security issue to him.

"You still need to find some people to train, the more the better. Use the martial arts training ground given to you."

"It's the master."

"The safety of the entire village is in your hands. Don't think that this place is safe. We are new here and we are unfamiliar with everything. It's always better to be cautious."

"I understand, Master."

After telling Yunsheng about this, Yunxi went to find Yun Songlin again, "Grandpa, let Uncle and Fourth Uncle have dinner together tonight. I have something to say."

The old man stroked his beard and asked with a smile, "Xi girl, tell me what you want to say first."

Seeing the old man coaxing the child, Yun Xi smiled and said, "Good thing."

"What a good thing?"

"A good thing to make a fortune."

The old man's beard was stroked upwards, "Hey, that's a good thing indeed."

Yun Xi returned to her yard and lay on the bed with her legs spread out.

There are too many things to sort out.

The family's farmland will be handed over to my parents and their people to take care of it, and my eldest brother and fourth uncle will have to go out and open a shop. First open the Seven Stars Restaurant, and then open a teahouse or a cake shop. This will be decided after discussion.

She also has to help the villagers get rich. These people have left their homes and come here. She also hopes that they can all live a good life.

Therefore, she wanted to open a workshop in the village. There was still a lot of open space in the village, and there was also a place to build a workshop. She also had money, but she had not yet decided what to do specifically.

She has a lot of ideas in her head and can do a lot. She knows the principles of soap, canned candy, papermaking, etc. It's only a matter of time before she can make them.

But the key is whether the raw materials for making these things are abundant locally.

For example, soap requires plant or animal fats, canned food requires fruit and sugar, and sugar requires sugarcane or beets. Papermaking requires bamboo or wood, as well as grass.

She still needs to investigate these raw materials to see which one is most suitable for development.

These are all industries that she can create and are highly profitable. If she can develop one in the village, everyone will probably make a fortune.
