At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

"Second sister, since you can't make it in the capital, then come to Wangshan County together. I can support you and your daughter." Yu Yunxin replied.

At this time, the mother and daughter were stunned. They stopped what they were doing and looked at the girl who was only fourteen years old.

"Then what should we do with our mansion in the capital?" Wang Yuanxiang said.

"Then just sell it!" Yu Yunxin didn't care about the mansion in the capital.

"Ah! Princess, you can't do that. The mansion belongs to your father. What if..." Wang Yuanxiang stopped immediately when she was about to say something.

"Okay, you guys just live in the back court first!" Yu Yunxin said and left the back court.

Qiu Yingying, Qiu Shuangchunyu followed Yu Yunxin out, leaving only mother and daughter in the yard.

"Where are you going? Leave a few maids to serve me." Yu Yunxuan said to the people who were going out.

"Princess, look, this mother and daughter still need maids to serve them." Qiu Shuang said.

"I don't have any maids to serve them, so let them serve themselves!" Yu Yunxin said, looking at the mother and daughter.

The next day, the people of Shangyang County heard that Wu Jinke, Wu Jincai and their county magistrate were imprisoned in the government prison by the prefect. They cheered in the streets and alleys. When Prefect Yang searched the Wu family's house, he found more than 500,000 taels of silver, and Wu Tongzhou's mansion also found more than 50,000 taels of gold. Such a huge amount can be said to be astonishing.

"I never thought that the Wu family had taken advantage of so many people in Shangyang County!" said Governor Yang when he arrived at Yu Yunxin's newly opened Guandao Hotel.

"We are not going back empty-handed this time. We have caught such a fat sheep for the emperor." Hu Man laughed when he heard it.

"When will you go back, eunuchs? I have almost prepared the gifts for the emperor and the queen." Yu Yunxin asked Hu Man and Eunuch Zhang.

"Princess, we will set off for Beijing the day after tomorrow. Thank you for your hospitality these days." Eunuch Zhang replied.

"And the officials in charge of the Agriculture Department are here not only to study the second crop of rice but also to study the princess' organic fertilizer. Princess, please entertain them well!" Hu Man looked at the people sitting silently on the side. These officials, who usually stayed in the capital, had not yet recovered from their busy journey these days and sat there tiredly without saying a word.

"Chunyu, please find some masseurs to help the adults relax their muscles and joints." Yu Yunxin glanced at the tired civil servants of the Agriculture Department and instructed Chunyu.

Upon hearing this, several adults with tired looks in their eyes followed Chunyu out.

"What does Governor Yang plan to do with the Wu family's land and tea plantation?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"Princess, are you interested in land and tea houses?" asked Governor Yang.

The people in charge of the agricultural department came to Yu Yunxin as soon as they heard about the farmland and tea shop before they left the house and said, "We need some land for experimental fields this time. This is just right. After growing something, we can also distribute it to the local people. Princess, you are now the princess of Nanling County, so you can get it at the most favorable price."

"Do you mean that you want the land?" Yu Yunxin looked at the officials in charge of the Agriculture Department and asked.

"Yes, Princess, I have seen the map of Shangyang County. Since the construction of water conservancy projects, the soil and water here are fertile. I have brought a lot of crops. Vegetable seeds require different soils and different climates. The more various fields, the better." Lord Li, who is in charge of agriculture, is crazier than anyone else about farming. He wants Yu Yunxin to buy it.

"Okay, in the next two days I will also return the fertile fields to the people of Wangshan County. My lords, you should take a few days off to recuperate and watch how this princess fertilizes the fields." Yu Yunxin said.

"Okay, let's go to Wangshan County." When Lord Li heard that raising land was the happiest thing, he immediately felt much more relaxed. He took the lead and went out with Chunyu.

"This Lord Li is really obsessed with farming." Hu Man looked at the backs of the people leaving and said, "As soon as he heard about the princess' organic fertilizer, he followed us to Nanling to see the princess."

Yu Yunxin smiled and asked Governor Yang: "Governor, what are you going to do with the Wu family and Wu Tongzhou?"

"Of course I will handle it impartially. I will tell the emperor the truth about these crimes and let him decide." Yang Taishou said, "Don't worry, Princess. I have the Wu family under my control. I will auction off all the Wu family's land and shops so that the two eunuchs can take more money back. If Princess is interested in the Wu family's tea gardens and land, I will sell them to you."

Yu Yunxin understood as soon as she heard it. After learning about the Wu family's assets in the entire Nanling County from Governor Yang, she went straight to Yang Yunsheng.

"Princess, my boss is still in Jiangnan and has not returned yet. Just tell me if you have anything to say!" Jin Chen asked.

"Okay, the Wu family of Nanyang has been imprisoned by Governor Yang. I have bought the land in Xia Shangyang and some shops of the Wu family. I want to take some of them over. I would like to ask Boss Yang if he is interested in the Wu family's shops?" Yu Yunxin said directly.

"To be honest with you, our boss has been coveting all the rice shops of the Wu family in Nanjun for a long time. If the price is right, I can buy them for the boss." Jin Chen said excitedly when he heard it.

She also wanted to buy the Wu family's tea shop, and didn't want to take over too many other shops at once. She wanted to spread out some of her money, after all, her Tiger Leap Village was still under renovation and she needed more money. But she didn't want to let someone she didn't know do this good thing. What if another family like the Wu family came? How could she do it well?

Just as she was worrying, she saw a luxurious passenger ship coming to the dock. The person getting off the ship was the Eight-Faced Fox Hu Li. Yu Yunxin came over happily when she saw her.

"Granny Hu, why are you here?" Yu Yunxin asked.

Hu Li glanced at the people on the dock and said, "Let's talk for a moment."

After Hu Manpo finished speaking, she brought Yu Yunxin to the largest jewelry pavilion in Nanling County, the "Jewelry Pavilion". The upper room was a spacious room filled with exquisite pearls, corals and agate ornaments, which were even better than those bestowed by the emperor.

"So what if you have been conferred the title of Princess Xingguo? Didn't Emperor Cheng give you good things?" Granny Hu teased as she looked at Yu Yunxin looking at the things in her room.

"Which girl doesn't like jewelry, especially these rare and good things." Yu Yunxin replied.

Hu Li burst into laughter: "Ha! Ha! I like you, girl, you're not pretentious at all. How come you don't have a few more maids following you now that you're a princess?"

"Our princess is used to it. She doesn't like too many people following her." Qiu Shuang replied.

"Okay, Yunxin, what do you want to do with Yang Yunsheng?" asked Granny Hu.

So Yu Yunxin told Granny Hu about the Wu family. When Granny Hu heard it, she said, "I can buy out some of the Wu family's cloth shops. My business isn't much, but it's not small either. By the way, I came to Nanling County specifically to find you." After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands and a group of women in uniform aqua blue clothes followed behind her.

"Greetings, Princess." When the group of people saw Yu Yunxin, they knelt at her feet.

"Who are you?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"They are the disciples of Yanyu Manor, Yunshan, Yanluo Qionglou, and Haiwang. Don't scare the princess." Granny Hu said, "Zhuang Diewu and more than a hundred martial arts sect leaders and elites disappeared in Qianyue Valley. Now many martial arts sects have sent people to look for them."

"Why are so many people going to Qianyue Valley?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"It was the master of Qianyue Valley who asked everyone in the martial arts world to go there. He said that they had found clues about the former leader of the martial arts world, Dugu Han. This man is exactly the husband of Zhuang Diewu who had been lost for more than 30 years. The owner of Yanyu Manor is exactly the wife of the leader of the martial arts world 30 years ago." Yunshan said.

"It's been more than 30 years. The owner of the manor has been waiting for her husband in Yanyu Manor for more than 30 years?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"That's why when Master heard Shangguan Jing say that there was a way to deal with Yueling Pavilion and Shura Sect, she was the first one who wanted to go to Qianyue Valley to look for clues, not to mention other people in the martial arts world." Yanluo said.

"Master gave us Yanyu Manor before he went to Qianyue Valley and asked everyone in Yanyu Manor to obey the princess." Yunshan said, "You are the only disciple that Master recognizes as the best in Butterfly Sword Dance, and the Yanyu Order is also in your possession, princess. We must protect you and the Yanyu Order."

"I can return the Yanyu Order to you. I don't want it. I can protect myself." Yu Yunxin said to the women.

"I told you that Yu Yunxin has never been interested in Yanyu Ling. Yunshan, Yanluo, Haiwang, and Qionglou, you four can rest assured! Protect the princess in secret." Hu Li said, "I will send someone to find my old sisters, so you can rest assured." After letting Yu Yunxin leave, she continued, "I have been staying in the Jewelry Pavilion in Nanling County for some time. If you have any problems, just come to me."

After bidding farewell to Hu Manpo, Yu Yunxin took Qiu Shuang away, with four people following behind her in the dark. Of course, she knew that they were the four disciples of Yanyu Manor, so she had nothing to say and just let the four people follow them. This also allowed Shangguan Hongling to stop asking her for the Yanyu Order in the future.

When he returned to the government office, the governor was very happy. Today, two big businessmen and the princess bought all the properties of the Wu family. Yu Yunxin bought the most, 55 acres of tea garden, 20,000 acres of fertile land, and the Wu family's house and courtyard, which she bought for more than 30,000 taels of gold. Seeing that more than half of the bounty was gone, more than half of the 100,000 taels of gold was gone before it was even warm. Fortunately, she did not touch the other gold, silver and jewelry. Otherwise, the speed of bleeding would have cost her half her life.

The two eunuchs also returned with a lot of goods, including various kinds of wine, white porcelain, rice candies, rice cakes, goose down quilts, and goose down clothes. Of course, the one who gained the most was eunuch Zhang. He also got the recipe for making cakes from Yu Yunxin. The steamed cakes were soft and sweet, and they tasted even better when they were added with cream. The two thought that they would speak well of the Princess Xingguo in front of the emperor and the empress when they returned.

In the fields of Wangshan County, the rice fields were covered with thick leaves. The villagers were spreading various fertilizers on the fields. There were also fields where cows were plowing the land. The top layer of the fields was black soil.

Lord Li took one look and asked, "Is this black soil?"

"No, it's my compost land." Yu Yunxin said.

"I've read your composting records, Princess Xingguo, but I don't quite understand how dead leaves can be turned into organic fertilizer." asked one of the officials in the Agriculture Department.

“Of course dead leaves alone cannot be turned into organic fertilizer. They also need to be mixed with various farmyard manures.” After saying this, Yu Yunxin asked the villagers nearby to demonstrate to them several times, and then showed the officials the piled ones.

"Oh my God, sir, look how come swill is being poured into these dead leaves?" Another minor official from the Agriculture Department saw several men who looked like servants pouring swill.

"Actually, I have a bold idea, but you are from the Ministry of Revenue's Agricultural Department. If you are from the Ministry of Works, maybe you can help me." Yu Yunxin said this while looking at the villagers working in the open air from afar.

"Princess, if you need any help from the Ministry of Works, I can just write a letter to the Emperor." Lord Li said.

Yu Yunxin said as soon as she heard it: "This is actually a good thing that benefits the country and the people, but I don't know how to say it."

"Princess, please feel free to speak!" Lord Li asked again.

"You see, when these leaves and farm manure are mixed together, they will ferment into a gas. This gas can be called biogas. This biogas is flammable and generates high temperature during the fermentation process. We can use it to boil water and generate electricity..." Yu Yunxin excitedly spoke out all the principles of chemistry and physics in one go. Looking back, she saw that several people were stunned.

She wanted to tell these people in charge of the Agricultural Department, but they didn't understand what she wanted to say, so she decided to talk about composting! What he didn't know was that Lord Li was well-read and had also dabbled in the making of some agricultural tools in the Ministry of Industry. He liked new things very much.

Lord Li said, "I will ask the emperor to send us a group of craftsmen. Princess, you can go ahead and do it. Even if you can't, I will block it for you." Lord Li thought that since the princess could make a second crop of rice, there was no need to worry about not being able to use biogas to boil water and generate electricity. At worst, he could study more farm tools. He already had a lot of designed farm tools, but the capital was too small and there was no place for him to display these farm tools. Now he had land in two counties and more than 20,000 acres of farmland, so he had nothing to worry about.

"I feel relieved with your words, Lord Li. But you also heard that this will require a lot of skilled craftsmen." Yu Yunxin thought that since she didn't have to pay any wages, it would be a waste to use the craftsmen if the emperor was paying them.

"Don't worry, Princess. The Ministry of Works doesn't have much else. If you are a skilled craftsman in iron smelting and forging, the Ministry of Works will have as many as you want." Lord Li said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxin laughed secretly and told the officials in charge of agriculture carefully about the second crop of rice and the compost. She also found several officials in Nanling County who had recorded the records with her and handed over the records they had compiled to the officials in charge of agriculture.

Yu Yunxin has been busy these days. With the help of the tools brought by the agricultural officials from the capital, turning the soil has saved a lot of effort. They not only brought more than 100 kinds of vegetable seeds, but also many agricultural tools, which made it much easier for local people to turn the soil. There are also winter wheat seeds, which are cold-resistant and drought-resistant. It is very suitable for sowing in Shangyang County and Wangshan County now.

This is also the wheat variety that Lord Li has worked hard to research over the years, and it can only be planted by the people in the two counties. Yu Yunxin and Lord Li went to more than ten villages in the two counties to find suitable land, and finally found six places, three in Wangshan County and three villages in Shangyang County. They let the villagers plant and pay them, and exempted from spring tax after the harvest, and got 30% of the grain. This made many villagers agree readily. They all saw the second crop of rice in Wangshan County have a bumper harvest under their noses. If they can have a bumper harvest of 30%, it will be enough for their food for a year, not to mention that this is winter wheat, and it will not delay the rice planting next year. It is a fool to disagree.

Winter planting began in six large villages in the two counties. Yu Yunxin sowed seeds on the land she bought.

Yunshan, Yanluo, Haiwang and Qionglou saw how this princess was so capable, she could make compost and farm by herself, and even raised chickens in the tea garden, brewed wine and made rice candy. Following this princess, their horizons were broadened a lot. In the past, they either stayed in the house embroidering or meditated in the Zen room. It turned out that women could do so many things besides needlework.
