At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

At the men's hot spring, the shopkeeper Zheng Zheng is responsible for the daily expenses, and the money is also kept at the women's hot spring. Perhaps regardless of whether it is ancient or modern, men spend more than twice as much on bathing than women's hot springs.

Later I learned that most people in the public baths were from the common class, and many wealthy businessmen also chose the private baths, but the flow of people in the men's hot springs was still larger. After checking the accounts of both sides, the third cousin's wife came out.

"Cousin Xin'er, it's really more comfortable here than taking a bath in your own bath."

All the baths here use diabolo tubes to draw water, so the temperature remains consistent, and the ground beneath the private baths is paved with pebbles.

"Madam Third Young Master, this was designed by our princess. At first I didn't know why they laid this stone. Later I found out that it was for temperature control and foot massage. Do we even have foot massage here?" said the shopkeeper.

"That's right, but I still like this Kangzhuang town very much." said Old Lady Lin.

"If the old lady likes, you can live here directly. It's not far from our base in Nanchuan Mountain. We can get there in two hours by riding a fast horse." Cheng said.

"Since you are all women, why not stay in this Kangzhuang town!" Yu Yunxin said enthusiastically when she saw that everyone liked this place very much.

After leaving the hot spring together, the men also came out and praised Yu Yunxin.

"It's so comfortable for my cousin to take a bath here, and someone is rubbing her back. The strength is so comfortable." Lin Dengyuan was the first to speak up: "When I return to the capital, I will also open a hot spring hotel and ask the bone-setting doctor from Baiyun Villa to do massages."

"Forget it! As an orthopedic doctor, aren't you afraid of dislocating the patient's position?" Second cousin Lin Dengchi looked at Lin Dengyuan with contempt.

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.

"Fifth cousin, if you open a hot spring center in Beijing, you have to give me some capital reward!" Yu Yunxin looked at Lin Dengyuan seriously.

"No matter how much cousin wants, I can afford it." Lin Dengyuan said.

"I haven't earned enough money yet. Let's go and take a look at the porcelain and the porcelain doll." Leng Shuang said.

Everyone started their second visit to Kangzhuang Town. This time they ate barbecue, fried chicken, fried skewers, milk tea and oden... Everyone praised the food here.

It was dark, and Yu Yunxin led everyone upstairs. There were four attics in a quadrangular courtyard. You could see the lights of the bustling town. There was no curfew like in the city. Many shops in the city came here to do business after the curfew. Some pushed carts, and some rented storefronts here. There was also a lively morning market in the morning, with nearby villagers carrying agricultural products to sell, and some making bamboo baskets by hand. No matter whether it was morning or evening, as long as their products were unique, they would always sell out.

Yu Yunxin and the Lin family sat in the attic halfway up the mountain, grilling meat while looking at the scenery below the mountain. The night scenery was very unique.

"With this small town, fewer people now venture into Southern Yunnan to mine jade." Lin Jingmo said as he looked at the bright lights at the foot of the mountain.

"Second uncle, didn't you return to the base today?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"Don't take your second aunt's words seriously. She just likes you like her own daughter. Dengyuan is your cousin. Our Lin family's ancestors have set a rule that no matter how related three generations are, they are not allowed to intermarry. I have also told Dengyuan about this, and he knows it too. In my second uncle's eyes, you are just a daughter." Lin Jingmo said, patting Yu Yunxin's shoulder.

"That's right." General Lin stepped forward and said, "Our Lin family will not betray our ancestral teachings for the sake of profit."

"The night market here is very beautiful. Xin'er, grandpa will protect the peace here for you. The Southern Yunnan barbarians have not come to Nanling County in the past two years because there have been natural disasters here in recent years. But if they knew that there would be a second crop of rice this year, they would definitely come to disturb the peace here. Nanling County paid such a good tax this time, and there are many spies from the Southern Yunnan Kingdom in the capital. They all know it."

"Southern Dian Kingdom?" Yu Yunxin asked curiously.

"In fact, the previous emperor of Southern Dian used some special means to unify the barbarian tribes. In recent years, their king was incompetent and the tribes were about to split. It is the regent of Dian who now wants to show those traitors that they have occupied three cities in our Sichuan Province in less than a day. As soon as our army arrives, we will definitely take back the three lost cities before the beginning of spring. Otherwise, I am afraid that these southern barbarians will use snakes, insects, rats and ants to deal with the army." Lin Jingmo said.

"Is the situation serious?" Yu Yunxin asked.

General Lin looked at his granddaughter and smiled: "It's not that serious. Grandpa is here. Xin'er, don't be afraid. Although our Lin family is not a medical family, our ancestors were all invincible generals."

"Yes, with Baiyun Villa here, Nanyizi won't dare to act rashly to deal with those poisonous insects." Lin Jingmo patted Yu Yunxin's shoulder and comforted her, "We brought the women with us this time to give Nanling County and Sichuan people peace of mind."

"Okay, let's all rest early. We will go to the Nanchuan base tomorrow." General Lin said as he looked at the people who were still standing on the mountainside watching the night scene.

After eating and drinking enough, you can have a good sleep. By the next day, the men of the Lin family had already left, leaving only the women here.

When Yu Yunxin went out, she was shocked. Is this the gift her grandfather gave her? All the greenhouses were built overnight, and the foundations on both sides of the town were also built overnight.

"Nothing, these are your grandfather's vanguards who are very good at fortifications. It is not difficult for them to build a city overnight. Now the 200,000-strong army seems to have arrived at the foot of Nanchuan Mountain." Old Lady Lin looked at Yu Yunxin's surprised expression and smiled: "This is your grandfather's gift. How do you like it?"

Yu Yunxin nodded with satisfaction and hugged Old Lady Lin and said, "Thank you, grandma. I like it very much."

"How old are you? Why do you still like to act like a spoiled child in front of your grandmother?" Old Lady Lin said lovingly as she looked at Yu Yunxin who was acting like a spoiled child.

"Cousin, can you take us to your tea garden today?" said the three cousins.

"I have many tea gardens. I wonder where you are going?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"Miss, please go a little further away. You haven't visited any of the tea gardens you bought in Shangyang County?" said the housekeeper Chunyu.

"Okay, I'll listen to you and prepare the carriage." Yu Yunxin said.

Chunyu is a girl who is good at talking and calculating. Yu Yunxin directly handed over the entire Kangzhuang town to Chunyu to manage, and also made her an official. She did everything steadily and was very reliable.

"Why haven't I seen my second aunt?" Yu Yunxin asked the three daughters-in-law behind her eldest aunt who came out of the yard.

"Your second aunt is from Baiyun Villa, so she naturally has to go to Nanchuan Mountain to avoid Nan Yizi's sneak attack with Gu." said the eldest aunt Cheng.

"Don't talk nonsense. There are no insects or ants in the middle of winter." Old Lady Lin said, "Let's go!"

This time it was a large carriage pulled by four horses, and the carriage was very large. This was the carriage for kings, princes, generals and ministers. The Lin family used four horses, which was also stipulated by the Ministry of Rites. Yu Yunxin and Yu Tinghai could only use a carriage with two horses when they came to Wangshan County.

"This is the general's carriage. It can easily accommodate more than ten people." Leng Shuang said.

Yu Yunxin helped Old Lady Lin get on the carriage first, followed by Cheng, and then her three daughters-in-law.

The carriage went directly to the greenhouse. Yu Yunxin was very satisfied with the greenhouse. Not only can vegetables and fruits be grown, but also fruit trees can be grown. Although the fruit trees planted in the greenhouse are short, they are very sweet.

"Wow! Cousin, what are you doing with so many cloth tents?" asked my third cousin Lin Qian after seeing them.

These are greenhouses, where vegetables, fruit trees and flowers are grown. However, they have just been planted, so it will take a few days for them to grow fresh vegetables. I will take you inside to see them.

Now she has also planted agar-agar grass and hemp in the greenhouse so that she can start making beer when spring comes.

"Xin'er, no wonder you came up with the idea of ​​growing a second crop of rice and now you've come up with the idea of ​​growing vegetables in greenhouses. Your aunt believes that you can grow vegetables in winter as well." Cheng said.

Everyone was talking and laughing in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside the window, while several cousins ​​and Yu Yunxin were playing around. Soon they arrived at Shangyang Tea Village. The villagers here were originally doing odd jobs in the Wu family tea garden. The villagers often worked for the Wu family for a day and could only get one meal in exchange. Now Yu Yunxin bought the tea garden of the entire village. The villagers are all volunteers. Not only are they given 20 coins for a day's work, but they are also given a bowl of rice and a chicken or duck and a basket of eggs every month. None of the villagers dared to neglect it. They not only cleaned the tea garden, but also raised tea garden chickens, planted vegetables on the open space, and raised rabbits. This is also what Chunyu asked the villagers to do. Rabbit meat is not only delicious, but rabbit fur can also be used to make plush puppets and rabbit wool clothes. She even arranged cattle and sheep, all of which were made according to the tea garden in Huashan Village.

"Wow, Chunyu, have you moved the tea garden from Huashan Village here?" Yu Yunxin asked as she watched the villagers busying around and saw the cattle and sheep raised in the open space.

"Princess, didn't you buy the entire village and mountain here? I can only do it like the Huashan Village Tea Garden." Chunyu said.

"The whole village has been bought, how come I didn't know about it?" Yu Yunxin asked.

At this time, a villager came and saw the luxurious carriage, knelt down and said, "I pay my respects to the princess."

"Are you a villager of this village?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"The land at the head of this village and the back hill were originally sold to us by the Wu family and Magistrate Ge. For so many years, the villagers have been oppressed by the Wu family. Not only did they not pay their wages, they only gave them one meal a day. Now that the princess has bought it, we have hope."

Before the villager could finish his words, a group of villagers saw the carriage and knelt down in front of it.

Yu Yunxin was confused when she saw this. "What's going on? Did people in ancient times like to see rich and powerful people kneel?"

"Everyone, there's no need to kneel. Our princess is bringing a few of her relatives here to take a look around today. So get up! Get to work quickly, or I'll deduct your wages." Chunyu said.

When the villagers heard that their wages were going to be deducted, they immediately stood up and went to the tea garden to look for work.

"I'll leave two people here to question." Yu Yunxin asked two older villagers, "Have you sold all your land?"

"Yes! Aren't they all in your hands now, Princess?" The old man said, "Now the Spring Rain official pays us wages every three days, and our lives are better now."

"Then what will you eat when you have no land?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"Haven't we come through all these years? We'll be satisfied as long as you give us something to eat." said the younger one standing aside.

"Why do you all live in such small houses?" Leng Shuang asked.

Yu Yunxin looked at the short earthen house and asked, "How many people in Chunyu Village work in the tea garden?"

"Originally there were more than a hundred households here, but half of the people couldn't stand the oppression of the Wu family, so they became bandits. Aren't they all serving in Wangshan County now?" the old man replied.

"Ah! It turns out this is the hometown of most of them?" Yu Yunxin said.

"There are more than 50 strong laborers here, who hoe the fields and plant tea trees in the tea garden every day. There are also more than 100 old, weak, women and children. I originally wanted to do some needlework for them, but their needlework was too poor. Later, I let them raise rabbits directly, just like in the tea garden, cutting grass to feed the rabbits, cattle and sheep, and cutting rabbit hair and wool when they have free time. I can give them rice, oil and various food in exchange." Chunyu said.

"Yes, if it weren't for the Spring Rain Lord, we would have starved to death."

This Chunyu is quite capable. Yu Yunxin turned around and gave Chunyu a big reward. "Chunyu, you are really amazing. You are becoming more and more like a business woman. You have a bright future!"

"Princess, you are too kind to me. Wasn't it you who taught me all this?" Chunyu said with a blushing face.

After Yu Yunxin and Old Lady Lin's family took a walk around the village, they came to the tea garden. Looking at the rows of tea trees, they realized that this tea garden covered an area of ​​26,000 acres, which was much larger than the tea garden in Huashan Village.

"This place is so big? Let's go to the mountain and take a look!" said Lin Qian.

"Princess, the mountain behind this is the Wu family's ancestral tomb and ancestral hall." Chunyu said.

"Oh! No wonder the Wu family bought the land of the entire village. It turns out this is their ancestral home!" Yu Yunxin said.

"Aren't they all yours now, Princess? You spent more than 10,000 taels of gold to buy them. To the east is the Wu family's mansion. Should we go and take a look? I have selected several strong villagers to be servants, and also chosen a family to live in. Miss, didn't you say that houses are for people to live in? I think the houses those villagers live in are too shabby, so I chose people with good character to live in them." Chunyu said.

"Okay, grandma, let's go and see how Chunyu's eyesight is." After listening to Chunyu's words, Yu Yunxin said to Old Lady Lin behind her.

"Our Chunyu! She must be a person with unique vision. I see that she comes here once every three days and has arranged everything in perfect order. In the future, Chunyu must marry a high-ranking official so that she will not be buried." Old Lady Lin praised.

"Yes! Chunyu, you are the princess's chief steward. The princess has entrusted so many family businesses to you to manage, but you have the potential to be the mistress of the house." said the eldest cousin's wife Leng Shuang.

Chunyu's face turned red after hearing what they said. When they arrived at Wu's house, Chunyu asked, "Princess, old lady, should Madam give us a new name?"

"Of course." Cheng said.

The plaque of Wu's house had been taken down long ago, and the door plaque was empty. When the two servants saw that it was Chunyu who brought the women with him, they knew that this group of people must be of great importance. They immediately smiled and greeted them respectfully, saying, "Princess, please come in, old lady and madam."
