At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

Yang Yunsheng put his hand down and thought for a while, "How much manpower and material resources will this require? Miss Yu, is it because the Queen gave you a lot of rewards this time that you have this idea, or do you feel that this year will be a year of great harvest?"

Yu Yunxin smiled and said, "It depends on the weather. If I'm right, maybe it will be possible."

"Do you know how to observe the stars?" Yang Yunsheng asked.

Yu Yunxin smiled and said, "I know a thing or two." Indeed, when she was bored in modern times, she had taken a few classes with a modern Feng Shui master. The Feng Shui master's lectures were very interesting. She also bought some books on stargazing and Feng Shui, so she did know a thing or two.

Yang Yunsheng smiled and said, "Miss Yu, if you need any help, just tell me and I will do my best."

"I have given your men what I need. Oh, and please help me make a few big pots and small pots. I need these in the next few days. The rest can be made for you after the weather gets cold." Yu Yunxin said as she handed the several pots she had drawn to Yang Yunsheng.

"The nine-grid pot is great. You can cook nine kinds of dishes in one pot at the same time." Yang Yunsheng took it and said.

"It's not nine kinds of dishes, but one dish with nine flavors. Of course, you can also eat it separately and adjust the soup base according to your own taste. Let's talk about it after my pot and stove are ready." Yu Yunxin said, "Don't forget to send my wheat to the tea garden in Huashan Village, Wangshan County."

"Okay, Miss Yu." Yang Yunsheng seemed to obey Yu Yunxin very much and did everything according to her instructions. He quickly arranged for people to find the herbs and spices that Yu Yunxin needed. He also arranged for the best blacksmith to help Yu Yunxin build the iron stove and iron pot she wanted. Yu Yunxin didn't know why Yang Yunsheng helped her so much. Was it because he trusted him or for some other reason?

"I originally thought you were a man. Today I heard the news from the capital and found out that you are a woman. Do you know about the Wang family in Jiangnan?" Yang Yunsheng asked.

"That's my second aunt's family, so I don't know much about it. Last year, my father sentenced a general from the Wang family in a case where his cotton-padded jacket was replaced with a reed jacket. The Wang family was driven out of the capital and was not allowed to do business in the capital from then on." Yu Yunxin said.

"You're right. Now the Wang family's business in Jiangnan is getting smaller and smaller. Several aristocratic families in Jiangnan have almost divided up the Wang family. Now the Wang family has only a few shops and a dozen acres of land. If your father didn't have the title of Minister of Justice, I'm afraid the Wang family would have been divided up by the aristocratic families in Jiangnan. It's a pity that your father is now." Yang Yunsheng said.

"The Wang family has nothing to do with me or my father." Yu Yunxin said.

"It's a pity that after you left, your second aunt Wang Yuanxiang and your second sister brought the two elders of the Wang family back to the Yu Mansion in the capital. The servants of the Yu Mansion were also driven out. The Yu Mansion may have become the property of the Wang family. This time, the Queen Mother's reward was almost snatched away by your second aunt. If the Lin family hadn't stepped in, I'm afraid your reward would have fallen into the hands of your aunt Wang." Yang Yunsheng told Yu Yunxin everything about the Yu Mansion in the capital.

Yu Yunxin smiled and said, "What's happening in the Yu Mansion right now has nothing to do with me. We need to live a good life in Wangshan County now. Except for my maternal family, everything in the capital has nothing to do with me now."

"By the way, have you bought the title deed to the hilltop over at Huyue Village?" Yang Yunsheng immediately turned the topic from the capital to the present matter and asked.

"I have arranged this. I will arrange it after the contract is signed." Yu Yunxin replied.

"Can I cooperate with you? I can train master builders for Jiangnan gardens." Yang Yunsheng asked.

"The reason I came to you today is not only to ask you to help me find some raw materials and poultry, but most importantly, to talk about the affairs of Hu Yue Village." Yu Yunxin said as she walked to the desk and began to talk about the plans for Hu Yue Village. Of course, she would not tell you about the ash tree.

Although Yu Yunxin is not very good at ink painting, she is good at modern cartoon drawing. She drew the plan clearly. On one side of the road are teahouses and restaurants for travelers to rest, and on the other side is an inn. This inn is like a five-star hotel, with hot springs and saunas, as well as hunting grounds, cockfighting, fighting arenas, and a street of opera food and entertainment.

"Okay, you want to turn this Huyue Village into a small town! There will be no confinement inside the city gates, and the people can open the market as long as they want. It will be a night market, but it will take several years to build it." Yang Yunsheng said as he looked at Yu Yunxin's plan.

"Don't worry about this. I think this place will be a happy town by the end of the year in a few months." Yu Yunxin said confidently.

"Okay, I'll give you 200 people and 30,000 taels of silver as the first investment in the happy town." After saying this, Yang Yunsheng put the plan on the table.

Yu Yunxin didn't expect Yang Yunsheng to agree so readily and give her 30,000 taels of silver. She immediately smiled and asked, "Boss Yang, I haven't even mentioned the profit share yet, but you agreed so quickly."

"I'm a businessman, so we'll see about the profits later. I believe Miss Yu will do a fair deal." Yang Yunsheng glanced at Yu Yunxin and replied.

Yu Yunxin looked at Yang Yunsheng and wondered what this guy was trying to do.

Yang Yunsheng saw Yu Yunxin's unusual look and smiled, "Don't get me wrong, Miss Yu. I used these thirty thousand taels to buy your plan. Of course, I will still give you a share later. You said it's very good about Nanling County, but I'm from Jiangnan. If you put your plan in Jiangnan or Yangzhou Jinling, that would be great. There are many small towns outside the city there. I can find a few suitable ones and build them in a short time."

Yu Yunxin thought that he was indeed an ancient businessman who had discovered this business opportunity. "Okay, let's use this thirty thousand taels as the money for this idea. How about this, if you build it in Jiangnan and it makes a profit, you can give me half of the profit every year, and I can give you some ideas, how about that?"

"Xiaobancheng, I want to give Miss Yu 20% of the profit!" Yang Yunsheng said.

"No need for so much. I just put forward a plan. I won't accept any reward without any contribution." Yu Yunxin replied.

The two talked about a lot of business plans and unknowingly talked until the night, and finally Yu Yunxin bid farewell to Yang Yunsheng.

"Okay! I'll have someone deliver this shipload of wheat to Wangshan County," Yang Yunsheng said as he left. He also gave Yu Yunxin a set of brushes and paints.

Because of the difference between men and women, Yu Yun did not stay for dinner and found an inn with Lian Qiao to stay there. After all, the prince was staying in the back yamen today. Fortunately, she told her father in advance, and it was her father who arranged the inn for them to come to Nanling County City.

It was really boring here without a mobile phone, computer or TV. It was inconvenient for her to play the piano or dance with so many people coming and going in the inn, so she could only pick up the paintbrush and paint given by Yang Yunsheng and start painting.

"Miss, is this a little tiger you drew? Why is it so cute?" Chunyu said as he looked at the cartoon tiger drawn by Yu Yunxin.

Yu Yunxin smiled and asked, "Can you make this kind of puppet?"

"Making a puppet is much easier than embroidery. I can give it a try." Chunyu said.

"Okay, I'll draw more puppets and then I'll help you make money." Yu Yunxin said and continued to draw.

The old man in green and Yu Linshan are now like master and disciple. At this time, Yu Linshan's martial arts have improved a lot under the guidance of the old man in green.

The next day, Yu Yunxin went to Yu Linshan's place early in the morning and delivered breakfast to him. The house at the bookstore was bought by Yu Tinghai for Yu Linshan to study. It was not big, with only two rooms and a small kitchen. Yu Yunxin could not move in with her three maids.

After delivering breakfast, they returned to Wangshan County with Jin Chen's convoy. What Yu Yunxin didn't expect was that the prince was actually waiting at the gate of Wangshan County.

When Yu Yunxin saw this, she immediately asked Jin Chen to go to the county first. The prince rode a snow-white horse to Yu Yunxin's carriage and said, "Sister Xin'er, I didn't see you in the back court yesterday. I didn't expect that you went to Nanling County and didn't come back to Wangshan County."

"Your Highness, after sending Eunuch Zhang off yesterday, I went to my brother's place, so I didn't come back. Is there anything wrong?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"There are some locusts in the farmlands around Yuzhou and Quanzhou. The local officials are afraid of a locust plague. Yesterday, I visited several villages in Wangshan County and found that ducks were raised in the rice fields in every village in Wangshan County. These ducks actually eat locusts. The people in the village said that this was your idea." said the prince.

"I understand what Your Highness means. There is an insect plague in Yuzhou and Quanzhou. Once the locusts eat all the food there, they will attack our Nanling County. Otherwise, I will find some duck-raising experts in the village. I bought the ducks here, a total of 50,000. I will pick some duck-raising experts to rush to the southwest to eliminate the pests. Your Highness, if this is not enough, I will find another way." Yu Yunxin directly stated the method.

"Xin'er, your method is feasible. I can requisition some carriages to take these ducks and duck-raising experts to the southwest. Xin'er, you have made another contribution this time. I will report it to the emperor and ask him to reward you." said the prince.

"Your Highness, I am doing this for the sake of the people here. You can just help me take care of the ducks. I bought the ducks with my own money!" Yu Yunxin said with some heartache, fearing that some ducks would die on the journey.

The prince laughed and said, "Ha! Ha! Sister Xin'er, don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss." After that, he asked the guards beside him to take out a few silver bills and stuffed them into Yu Yunxin's pocket. She opened them and saw that there were five thousand taels of silver in the bills.

"Your Highness, are you buying my duck?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"Of course I don't need so many ducks. Just consider it as rent for me. If any of them die, I will compensate you." The prince jumped off his horse and came directly to Yu Yunxin, then scratched her nose.

"No need. These ducks have been raised here for a while. As long as they are properly cared for, none of them should get sick. These five thousand taels of silver are enough." Yu Yunxin said, waving the silver note in her hand.

"Sir, you should leave more people in Wangshan County to repair the water conservancy projects. The rest of you can follow me to Yuzhou and Quanzhou. Sister Xin'er, we will see each other later." After the prince had finished speaking, he mounted his horse and left with a large army.

On the official road of Wangshan County, not far from Yu Yunxin's carriage, there was a maid in pink saying, "Miss, you see, the master asked you to come yesterday, but you insisted on waiting. Now the prince has left."

"Xiao Lian, see if you can catch up." The woman said coquettishly.

"Miss, are you crazy? How can you go up with so many cavalrymen protecting the prince?" Xiao Lian said.

With a loud slap, Xiao Lian's face was hit. She felt a burning pain and immediately covered her cheek.

"You are crazy. You have been following me for so long, but you can't tell me." The lady in the carriage immediately lifted the curtain and looked at the back of the prince riding a white horse. "I saw a back figure yesterday and today too. Forget it, let's go back."

"Yes, driver, please turn around and go back to Nanling County!" Xiao Lian said.

"No, let's go to Shangyang County. Maybe the prince will stay there for a while." said the lady in the car.

Unfortunately, she didn't guess correctly. The prince went directly from Shangyang County to the southwest. Yu Yunxin asked Jin Chen to send the wheat to the tea garden in Huashan Village, where the house had already been built. It would be completed in a few days.

Before leaving, Lin Jingmo gave Yu Yunxin a silver note of 10,000 taels and said, "You know that I brought 100,000 troops here not only to protect the prince, but also to build water conservancy projects in the southwest. There are 20,000 people here, Xin'er, you can transfer 2,000 people to help you develop Huyue Village. This money is for you to help you secretly develop those ash trees. Don't tell anyone."

"Don't worry, second uncle. I will arrange everything there." Yu Yunxin said.

Lin Dengyuan came over and said, "Dad, don't worry, I will stay here and take good care of my cousin."

"You little rascal, you stayed here because you wanted to go to Baiyun Villa to watch the martial arts conference. Don't think I don't know what you mean. Don't cause trouble for me." Lin Jingmo looked at the elder Lin Dengyuan and lectured him.

"Don't worry, mother is going to Baiyun Villa. I won't cause any trouble for you." Lin Dengyuan replied.

"Okay! Yun Xin, keep an eye on this brat for your second uncle. Tell your second uncle if he bullies you." After Lin Jingmo finished speaking, he rode away on horseback.

"Cousin, where are we going now?" Lin Dengyuan asked after seeing Lin Jingmo leaving.

"Come on, I'll take you to the tea garden I bought. By the way, cousin, don't forget to go to Governor Yang and buy the hill of Huyue Village for me." Yu Yunxin said.

"Don't worry, cousin. Look what this is." As he said this, he took out two land deeds from Xiu's mouth and handed them to Yu Yunxin.

"Yu Yunxin took the deed and saw that the owner on it was Yu Yunxin. How did you buy the three hills so quickly?" Yu Yun asked after taking the deed.

"That's right, only five thousand taels. My father told me to do it quickly. The prefect Yang is a straightforward man. He said that the hilltop was wasteland and had no value, so he sold it to me for five thousand taels." Lin Dengyuan said proudly.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the tea garden." Yu Yunxin said as she got into the carriage. Lin Dengyuan, who was riding on horseback, followed closely behind the carriage.

Soon, the villages in Wangshan County were competing to herd ducks. The one who herded the most ducks could take the ducks to the two southwestern states to use the ducks to kill locusts. Yu Yunxin also asked Yang Yunsheng to buy 10,000 ducklings and distribute them to the villagers in every village in Wangshan County as a backup.

As soon as Yu Yunxin arrived at the tea garden, Governor Yang came over and said, "Miss Yu, do you have any way to help the rice fields in other counties in Nanjun?"

"Prince Yang just rented 50,000 ducks from me to take to Yuzhou and Quanzhou. Where did I get so many ducks?" Yu Yunxin said to Prince Yang.

"You bought all the ducks in Nanjun. Now there are not so many ducks in Nanjun. What should we do in other counties?" said Governor Yang.

"I have an idea. You can find some experts who can drive ducks and let the ducks take turns to eliminate pests in each county!" Yu Yunxin said.

"That's one way, but what are you going to do with so many ducks? Old ducks are not tasty," asked Governor Yang.

"Don't worry, Governor Yang. I have a way to deal with the duck issue. Find me the people who drive the ducks. The prince will need at least two hundred people, and we only need fifty people from Nanling County." Yu Yunxin said.
