[Ding—Explore the land of the Southern Barbarians. For each county explored, you will be rewarded with a map of that county. 】
The system issued a task to her in due course.
But maps? Do you want her to buy it?
The map of Furong County in my hand was bought with money along with the geography.
The system gives options, accept the task or reject it?
Xu Yin thought that if she couldn't finish it, her energy points would not be deducted, and the progress bar would not be set back, so she simply accepted it, just in case she finished it accidentally.
[Ding——Trigger long-term mission: building a home]
Just after accepting the mission to explore Nanman, a new mission popped up.
No specific requirements were announced, nor were there any rewards for completing the tasks. All in all, it was quite confusing.
Maybe the dog system was triggered again, Xu Yin ignored it.
She continued to think about Furong County. It really looked like Hunan Province. The climate and crops were similar, and even the dialects spoken by the locals were somewhat similar.
The only shortcoming is that the specialty products are not as rich as Tongcheng, but it is understandable, after all, there is a long river of history.
If Furong County is really the Hunan Province of later generations...
A map of China in the shape of a rooster flashed in Xu Yin's mind, and she almost laughed out loud with joy.
Nanman co-authored it in the Guangdong and Guangxi areas!
Oh my god, I've been worried all this time, why didn't I think of it earlier?
If she didn't wear it this time, she would want to go south for a walk.
Now it's fine, I'm traveling at public expense, with bodyguards and nannies all around me. When I get to the destination, I have my own big villa (Prince Jinnan's Mansion) where I can stay as long as I want.
Of course, you can't leave the fief if you don't want to live there.
It looks a bit frustrating and restricts the range of activities.
But the snail shell can still be used as a dojo. The Nanman is so big that it is enough for her to move around.
What's more, compared to the treacherous situation in Beijing, Nanman, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, is more suitable for her to survive and not be cannon fodder.
After figuring it out, Xu Yin was completely free.
Early the next morning, I took out the banknotes at the bottom of the box. When Grandma Feng accused her of using the dowry money casually, she kept two of the five hundred taels in denominations in case of unexpected needs, and planned to exchange the rest for supplies.
"Chunlan, take a few boys to buy grain, grain seeds, and vegetable and fruit seeds. You need to harvest new crops this year, so that they won't be infested with insects after a year. If you don't have any, old grain will do."
"Xia Zhu, go buy poultry and pick out more eggs and ducks."
There were two maids left who were sent by her to purchase cotton and cotton cloth.
The cotton needs to have cotton seeds, and the cotton cloth needs to be thick and thin. When it's done, they have to look for silkworms.
"Qiu Shuang, your hometown is Linhai County. Do you know silkworms? They can spin silk, make cocoons and then weave silk?"
"Know!"
Although Qiu Shuang didn't know why the girl wanted to buy silkworms, she still nodded obediently.
Xu Yin taught her how to choose strong silkworm babies. When she met someone who knew how to raise silkworms, she hired him with a high salary.
When the maids left one after another, Xu Yin handed Nanny Feng three thousand taels:
"Mommy, please find someone you trust to help me replace them with fishing nets, fishing rods, and a batch of iron sheets."
The latter is the important point.
Iron has so many uses. In addition to improving farm tools, she also wants to build a boat, a patrol and fishing boat that can withstand weak typhoons.
Nanny Feng was startled: "Girl, this piece of iron..."
"You can get the best one, but it doesn't matter if you can't."
Yanhua does not allow private trading of iron tools. Once discovered, the crime of exile will begin.
However, there are many princes and nobles who buy and sell ironware privately, and the court does not see any control over it.
Xu Yin did not deliberately conceal the fact that he sent his subordinates to go shopping. He only concealed the purchase of iron.
Grandma Feng came back and said that it was hard to buy iron, so she had to go through a lot of trouble to get a hundred pounds of it from the black market.
The density of iron is high. One hundred kilograms of iron is actually the size of nine footballs. Xu Yin dispersed it and hid it in a large number of materials, making it difficult for others to detect it.
At this time, she was glad that she was not in the future, and would not beep when passing the security check.
Moreover, which of the palace's chariots and soldiers guarding the city gate dared to poke their spears into the carriage?
But this hundred pounds of iron cost her one-third of her banknotes.
Soon, the news that the future princess had spent all her dowry money spread among the palace staff.
It's not that they are gossiping, but what dowry means to a woman is not only known by women, but also by men.
After all, who doesn’t have a mother? Which mother would use the dowry as a last resort?
This rich lady from the prime minister's residence usually spends money lavishly. On her way south, she actually spent all the ten thousand taels of silver notes at the bottom of the box.
This is not ten taels or one hundred taels, but a full ten thousand taels!
Oh my god, it’s horrible for women to spend money! Who can afford to marry after spending ten thousand taels in two months?
Oh, someone is getting married soon! The emperor acted as a matchmaker, and they got married as soon as they arrived in the fiefdom...
By the way, why would the emperor give such a person and woman to his prince? Were they really not sent to disrupt the palace and cause the prince a headache?
He couldn't help but look at their prince with infinite sympathy.
Yan Kejin: "..."
Xu Yin didn't know these things, but even if she knew, she would laugh them off.
Isn't the dowry just a way for the mother's family to help the married girl straighten her back and live a better life?
She has always believed that money is for spending, not saving. Why bother if you don't use the ready-made dowry money, but your life is tight and unsatisfactory?
From Beijing to Furong County, the people around her were sent around by her.
When I first left the capital, it was just a small fight. Several counties came down to gather ten carriages.
Upon entering Furong County, the 10,000 taels of silver notes at the bottom of the box were left untouched except for the emergency 1,000 taels. The rest were taken out to exchange for supplies, and carts of rice, flour, grain and oil, cotton, silkworms, and various seeds were brought back...
Lin Linzong added a dozen more carriages, twenty or thirty mule carts loaded with grain, and the coachmen alone hired a lot of people.
Fortunately, there were soldiers from the royal palace holding the battle. Although some people coveted it, they did not dare to act rashly. Otherwise, this journey will definitely not be so stable.
Everyone in the palace secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, the border between Nanman and Furong County was right in front of them. Otherwise, would they still have to buy it? The future princess is too good at spending money, and they are worried about the prince.
Yan Kejin heard the report from his subordinates and learned that Xu Yin not only bought grain, but also grain seeds; not only bought cotton, but also cotton seeds; not only bought silk brocade, but also bought mulberry silkworms, and a bunch of There are all kinds of vegetable and fruit seeds that even the secret guards can't identify... His eyes are thoughtful.
In fact, after the fiefdom was granted, he sent people to collect supplies from all over Yanhua and transport them to Nanman.
It was just carried out in the name of traders and traveling merchants, and not many people knew about it.
There were only a few carriage luggage transported from the palace in Beijing.
I heard earlier that his brainless princess sent people to buy goods wherever she went, and stocked up ten carriages of goods along the way. She also thought that she had believed the rumors about the Nanman and was afraid that she would live a hard life there.
Now it seems that she is not stupid. Would a stupid person think of hoarding seeds? Even silkworms were considered?
Yan Kejin's lips curved into an interesting smile: Whether he is really stupid or fake, you will know soon.
