Travel through ancient times and become a great hero
Chapter 54 Recovery
Situ Jin reported to the emperor and prepared to bring the soldiers back to Beijing to receive the reward in a month.
Because we have just returned to a peaceful life and the economy has not yet recovered.
The people are still on the brink of starvation.
After years of fighting, the crops they grew and the livestock they raised were all plundered by the northern invaders. The common people suffered terribly.
For the sake of the local economy, Charlotte wrote to Cao Zhize in Kyoto to bring fifty people who knew how to do business.
Cao Zhize has trained so many talented people in Kyoto, why not use them now?
Seeing that the houses of ordinary people were not sheltered from the wind and cold, Xia Luo, under the help of Situ Jin, bought bricks and tiles on Taobao to help people repair their houses.
There are pharmacies, grain stores, clothing stores, blacksmith shops, and jewelry stores in every town, forming a commercial circle.
She let the common people use the small shop for free for three years. After three years, they had to pay rent of twenty taels of silver every year.
The things sold in the store are provided by themselves.
The tenant does not have to pay money in the first month of purchasing goods, but from the second month onwards, he has to pay 50% of the goods every month. And so on.
People who like doing business are eager to try.
Everyone wants to change the family's financial situation.
For those larger shops, she was soliciting investors while waiting for Cao Zhize to arrive.
Cao Zhize didn't arrive yet, but her master arrived first.
Her master brought these elite soldiers, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts.
Situ Jin asked them to train the newly recruited soldiers and the soldiers on the border.
Only when the military strength of the entire army is improved and the soldiers and horses are strong, who would dare to bully us?
Situ Jin remembered the musket that Xia Luo bought for him.
"Wife, can you find someone to study your musket?"
"My master. My master knows about gunpowder." Charlotte wanted his master to do research so that many secrets would not be known to others.
"Okay, then I'll give your master a base to specialize in gunpowder research. I'll send a company of people to cooperate with your master."
Charlotte called for her master.
When the old monster God of Medicine heard that he was asked to study gunpowder, he was happy.
He likes to tinker with weird things.
Originally he wanted to go back to the mountain and wait for his Iron Lady.
Charlotte promised him that she would help him find the whereabouts of his master's wife.
Only then was he willing to stay.
Situ Jin asked someone to bring the old monster doctor to the base.
Charlotte asked the craftsmen to build a small building for his master.
The upper part is the living area, and the lower part is where the master drinks tea.
She bought a large Simmons bed for her master on Taobao.
In order to make it easier for her to take a bath, she bought a solar water heater for her master on Taobao and prepared all the food and drinks.
Another row of houses was where gunpowder was studied.
Otherwise, it would be very dangerous to have a fire where you live.
Charlotte gave the blueprints for making a musket to his master.
He also drew several simulation pictures of Western guns and cannons.
Cao Zhize went back to the capital and saw that his father and his family were all safe. Only then did he feel relieved and rushed to the border at full speed.
The people he brought were soon assigned to work as managers in restaurants and shops in various towns.
Every time he assigned someone, Charlotte would personally go to distribute the goods to them.
In less than a month, Charlotte's commercial stores appeared in every corner of Northern Xinjiang.
She also mobilized Ding Dafu to transport southern specialty vegetables, fruits and tea.
The beef and mutton from Northern Xinjiang were then transported to restaurants and butcher shops across Mobei.
The economy in northern Xinjiang has recovered and people's lives have improved.
In the spring, Charlotte prepared tens of thousands of kilograms of rice for free for farmers to plant first, and in the fall, they would just return the seeds to encourage farmers to plant more rice.
Situ Jin also issued an order: exempt from taxes for three years.
Everything has been arranged, and the time to go to the capital to meet the emperor is approaching.
"I need to go back to Willow Village. Otherwise, you guys go first and I'll be there soon."
Xia Luo wanted them to go first, saying that he was not a soldier, and he didn't know what the emperor was thinking.
"I'll go back with you. I'll wait for you in town." Situ Jin wanted to go with Xia Luo.
"Did your father already know that I was at the border? Otherwise, why did he let me go to Kyoto with my husband?"
"Father is not stupid. Why are you helping me? And you told him that story, but he still doesn't reflect on it? Okay, don't worry, I'm here for you."
"I forgot one thing. Ask them to bring Zhang Qi with them. I plan to open a mutton hotpot shop in southern Xinjiang."
"My wife is so amazing. The silver of the entire Mobei Kingdom combined is not as rich as yours. I feel a little inferior. I am becoming less and less worthy of you." Situ Jin looked at Xia Luo aggrievedly.
"You are the God of War of Mobei Country! You are the pride of Zimo and Zixuan! You are also my pride!" Charlotte was embarrassed to say this about herself. Her voice became smaller and smaller.
"Wife, without your help, I may never realize my dream of regaining lost territory in my lifetime. It is you who gave me motivation, confidence, and strength. I will never let you down and make you the happiest woman in the entire Mobei Kingdom."
"You have made such great contributions. When you come to the capital, your father will prepare beautiful women and luxury cars for you. How can I be so lucky as to be your only one?"
"I swear: I will only marry Charlotte in this life. God is my witness. If you betray me, let me be pierced through the heart by arrows from the northern invaders!" Situ Jin raised his hand and swore.
"What nonsense are you talking about. Bah, bah, bah!" Charlotte spat several times.
"You won't die as long as I'm here." Charlotte glared at him.
Situ Jin smiled with eyes curved.
Cao Zhize stayed here for half a year, waiting for all the shopkeepers to run their shops.
Once he was settled, he returned to Kyoto.
Situ Jin left most of the secret guards behind to work with the elite troops to train the soldiers.
Deputy Commander Ye brought with him generals with more than 1,000 men, and Zhang Qi, a total of 33 people.
He rode on his warhorse and headed to Kyoto to receive his reward in high spirits.
Xia Luo wanted to ride the horse by herself, but Situ Jin would not let her, so they rode on the same horse and headed straight for Anping Town.
The two of them traveled during the day and slept in the space at night. They returned to Anping Town in less than two days.
Several secret guards were left in tears and laughter by their amazing operations.
I followed him and he disappeared. He didn't even stay at the inn. I don't know what kind of kung fu the master and his wife practiced.
Situ Jin moved into Zimo's house.
Xia Luo went to the restaurant first, and Xia Yunyuan went to Kyoto.
She wants to check on the restaurant's sales.
"Second boss, you're here." The shopkeeper came out to greet him.
"Just tell me what's going on." Charlotte knew something had happened again.
"My boss has sent me several letters asking you to go to Kyoto to find him. But I can't find you, so I'm worried about how to get back to my boss."
"Oh, I see. How is the restaurant's recent profit?"
"Revenue is gradually increasing, and the hotpot is packed every day."
"Well, I'll bring you a batch of pure northern Xinjiang sheep. We'll serve mutton hotpot later."
"The restaurant across the street is going to be auctioned off. Would the second owner like to buy it?" the shopkeeper asked tentatively.
"Something happened to the owner of the restaurant across the street?"
"I was testing a new dish, and I killed someone with poisonous mushrooms. I went to jail for the lawsuit. My wife ran away with someone. The government is auctioning it off."
"I'll go ask my master." Charlotte walked away.
When he arrived at the yamen, Xia Luo went straight to the yamen master. The yamen runners all knew Xia Luo. He went in directly without notifying anyone.
"Miss Xia, are you here to see me for something?" the lawyer asked Xia Luo directly.
"The restaurant opposite Zuixianlou is being auctioned for a certain amount of silver. I'll buy it."
"The original price for the auction was 380 taels of silver. One hundred and fifty taels were given to the victim's family, and the rest went to the government. Since it's Miss Xia who's buying it, then let's just give it 200 taels," the lawyer said politely.
