Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 301

Speaking of which, the Western Qiang are also capable. After years of internal strife, they still have the energy to divide up the Great Zhou. Their ambitions are not small.

Wei Jue stared at the map on the table, his eyes narrowed and his gaze fierce.

His father and brother were killed in Xiqiang, such an inconspicuous small country, but it had many sinister tactics.

His purpose of coming to Xiqiang this time was to personally avenge his father and brother. After so many years, he finally waited for the opportunity.

The Wei family is a loyal and brave family, but before three generations had passed, the emperor began to become suspicious.

Wei Jue suspected that the death of his father and brother was also related to the emperor's suspicion.

He didn't know the truth all this time, and his grandfather refused to tell him. But if his grandfather had not doubted the emperor, why would he have planted stakes in the northern border and Western Qiang so far in advance?

There was constant war before his father and brother died, but after his father and brother died, the war inexplicably ended in peace, and he couldn't help but be suspicious.

Now, he has also planted secret agents in the palace, and he will never let what happened to his father and brother happen again.

Ye Xi has been in high spirits recently, and Pei Zhu has already proposed marriage to the Ye family.

Because Ye Xi had been married before and had been silent for several years, in order to avoid gossip, the Ye family hinted to Pei Zhu through Ye Xin that he only needed to bring a matchmaker to propose marriage, and the wedding should be kept as low-key as possible.

Pei Zhu wondered if this would be unfair to Ye Xi, but Ye Xi had no objection.

She felt that life was for two people, so there was nothing wrong in keeping a low profile and saving money.

Pei Zhu laughed when he heard the idea of ​​saving money. He knew before that Ye Xi was a money-grubber, and now it was even more so.

She is so rich, yet she still saves money on her wedding.

Ever since Pei Zhu came to terms with it, he has made no secret of the fact that Ye Xi is richer than him. Sometimes he even jokes that he is supported by his wife, and he can face other people's ridicule calmly.

Their date was set for three months later, which was the date chosen by the Ye family.

Pei Zhu was cut off from the Pei family after the accident. Now he has no elders and has to listen to the two elders of the Ye family in everything.

Ye Xi felt that it was not good for a married woman to still live in her parents' home, so she and Pei Zhu looked around for yards.

She was planning to buy a two-story house closer to home so that she could go home to visit her parents.

Pei Zhu accommodated Ye Xi's wishes. After all, Ye Xi's happiness was more important.

So the two of them bought a two-story house within a month. Ye Xi also had someone renovate it according to her preferences, and another month passed with all the modifications.

This month, Ye Xi not only received a letter from Qin Song, but also received several carts of potato and sweet potato seeds that he had arranged for someone to deliver.

When Ye Xi received the potatoes, most of them had already sprouted and could be planted directly as seeds.

Sweet potatoes are more troublesome and cannot be planted directly like this. They need to be cultivated before they can be planted.

Qin Song was very thoughtful. Fearing that others might not have experience, he asked Lao Li to follow as well.

Now, Ye Xi has to deal with the land problem.

There were quite a lot of seeds, but Ye Xi's land could not plant them all. She thought of finding someone to cooperate with, mainly to find someone to share the missing part of the head tax.

This kind of people usually prefer wealthy businessmen with a lot of land. They have large areas of fertile land and can also afford to pay taxes with silver.

But she can’t plant it anymore in Hangzhou because the area she has planted is already very large, and if she plants more it will probably attract the attention of the government.

If the area of ​​the changed crops is too large, the government will worry about the shortage of local grain and will intervene.
