Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 208 Raising a younger brother in ancient times 9

The business of Yunchu's meat jerky shop has recovered and is even doing quite well, but it is discovered that there are not enough people making the meat jerky.

Although Yi Zheng and the others could help, they would have to follow Fang Yan in the future after all, so Yun Chu went to Guanya again to buy a girl who could help make jerky.

"Miss Fang, I wonder who you are going to buy today?"

"Maids, ages fifteen to thirty-five, four or five. If they're good, I can buy a few more."

"What a coincidence! A group of people just came to Guanya. They used to work in the official's house."

"Miss Fang, wait a moment. I'll bring someone over right away."

After being brought out.

After asking some questions, Yun Chu selected nine people, five of whom were former maids and all were unmarried.

The remaining four people were all women, and all had families.

Yun Chu also bought the families of the four of them.

Then he took these people back.

After buying the meat, the task of making jerky and dried meat was left to the new buyers.

In the blink of an eye, it was the 182nd year of Qing'an. Yun Chu was seventeen years old and Fang Yan was thirteen years old.

In this year, the emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne.

When the new emperor first came to power, he was quite diligent in his work. However, after the Hu Kingdom presented beauties to him, the emperor became obsessed with women and no longer cared about state affairs.

The emperor was obsessed with women and was also a tyrant.

Whenever an official criticized him for being obsessed with women and asked him to execute the concubine, he would kill the official or demote him.

Because of the emperor's tyranny, officials dared not say anything for the sake of their lives.

In the 183rd year of Qing'an, Fang Yan successfully passed the examination and became a scholar.

One month after passing the examination for a scholar, Fang Yan took Yi Zheng and others to go out for study.

Fang Yan's study tour this time was to recruit some talents.

*

Dali said: "Miss, we have arrived at Raocheng."

"Ah."

After the examination, Yun Chu and his team entered Rao City.

Raocheng is quite close to Quzhou, and it only takes one hour to get there.

Yun first came to Raocheng with the intention of opening a branch of his meat jerky shop.

After resting for a day in the inn, Yun Chu strolled around Raocheng the next day, investigating suitable places to open a branch.

After wandering around for a day, Yun Chu found a suitable place.

I went to look for human teeth and bought the shop.

Afterwards, we hired craftsmen to redecorate the house.

Dali returned to Quzhou to transport goods and brought the shopkeeper with him.

The shopkeeper was a woman named Weng Xueyan. She used to be a daughter of an official. Her grandfather was killed because he submitted a memorial requesting the execution of the imperial concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people.

All the adult males in the Weng family were killed, and the rest were sent to the government and sold as slaves.

This idea was proposed by the Imperial Concubine. By selling it this way, there would still be money for the national treasury.

The Weng family was assigned to various local government posts.

Yun Chu bought Weng Xueyan and also bought her younger brother and sister. As for her mother, she committed suicide in prison.

Weng Xueyan was very capable and talented, so Yun Chu trained her to be the shopkeeper.

After the meat jerky shop in Raocheng opened, Yun Chu did not leave for the time being.

She went to a village near Raocheng to look for sources of pork, chickens and ducks.

When the time comes, we will arrange for someone to come here to make meat jerky and dried meat.

Yun Chu came to Qingyu Village.

Not long after entering the village, a man called out to Yun Chu, "Benefactor."

Yun Chu looked over and remembered who the person opposite him was. It was the exile on the road when he came to Quzhou a few years ago.

"Ling Yu."

"Yes, benefactor."

"Why is my benefactor here?"

"I opened a meat jerky shop in Raocheng, and came to the village to look for sources of chickens, ducks and rabbits."

"You are in this village?"

"Yes, our family was exiled to Qingyu Village. Not many people in Qingyu Village raise chickens and ducks in large quantities."

"If you can trust me, I can help you collect the goods."

"Of course." Yun Chu nodded.

"First collect one hundred chickens, thirty ducks, and fifty rabbits."

"Got it. If your family can handle it, you can handle twenty chickens, five ducks, and five rabbits every day."

"It has been processed and sent to the Fang Mansion on Linhe Street."

"I'll give you two cents for a chicken, four cents for a duck, and five cents for a rabbit." After saying that, Yun Chu gave fifty taels of silver to Ling Yu.

"You can use this money to purchase goods. If you process chickens and ducks, the money will be deducted from this. When you run out of money, you can ask the owner of the meat jerky shop for more."

"Benefactor, do you want the goods tomorrow?"

"Send it in three days."

"it is good."

Yun Chu left directly.

After Yun Chu left, Ling Yu went to collect the chickens, ducks and rabbits.

Three days later, Ling Yu borrowed an ox cart and brought meat to Yun Chu.

In addition to the meat, there was also a piece of paper recording the purchase price of the chickens and ducks, fifty taels of silver, and how much had been spent so far.

When Yun Chu saw this, he thought of the other party's current family situation, so he gave him pen, ink, paper and inkstone and asked him to make an account book.

Just give her the account book once every six months.

Yun Chu also suggested that he raise chickens and ducks in large quantities at home, and gave him methods on how to do so.

Ling Yu accepted the suggestion and asked his family to start raising chickens, ducks and rabbits.

After Yun Chu's business in Raocheng stabilized, he returned to Quzhou.

Less than half a month after returning to Quzhou, another major event happened in the court: the imperial concubine was pregnant.

Because the imperial concubine was pregnant, a general amnesty was issued and people prayed for the child.

Exiled prisoners such as Weng Xueyan and Ling Yu were transformed from untouchables into commoners.

After becoming commoners, they can take part in the imperial examinations, study, etc.

This is a very good thing.

But less than a month later, the imperial concubine had a miscarriage.

The imperial concubine had a miscarriage, and the emperor was furious. He asked the Dali Temple to investigate the culprit, and finally found out that it was the queen.

The emperor demoted the empress's family to commoners, and the eldest prince and the fourth prince born to the empress were both demoted.

They were not demoted to commoners, but were banished to Chamdo and Lincang, and were not allowed to enter the capital without an imperial edict.

The imperial concubine became the new queen, and for the new queen's ceremony, the emperor decided to build the Zhaixing Tower.

The treasury was originally empty, and now they had to build the Zhaixing Tower, so they started to levy taxes.

The people in the north are complaining because their lives have just started to improve, but now they are being taxed again, which is simply leaving them no way to survive.

Some people, having no money to pay taxes, had no choice but to sell their children.

The Zhaixing Tower consumed a great deal of manpower and financial resources and was finally completed after half a year.

The whole country celebrates the new queen's ceremony, and all the shops are decorated with lights and colors to celebrate.

Fang Yan saw the red lanterns of their meat jerky shop and sneered. This witch was indeed very powerful.

In his previous life, he had entered the palace, but he witnessed how powerful the evil queen was.

Not only did she deceive the emperor, she also deceived the generals, and the generals all worked for the evil queen.

After another year, this evil queen began to interfere in government affairs, and all memorials to the emperor were reviewed by her.

But later on, for some unknown reason, the evil queen suddenly died of illness.

After he died of illness, he gradually rose to power.

In the end he became a traitor!

However, power is indeed a good thing.

Fang Yan looked at the decorations everywhere and felt bored, so he went home.

"Master, the young lady is looking for you. She is waiting for you in the study."

"Okay." Fang Yan quickened his pace and went to the study.

"Sister, what do you want from me?"

"Ayan, I'm going to the capital."

"What is Sister doing in Beijing?"

"I am planning to open a meat jerky shop in the capital."

"Open a store in the capital, and then we will be able to know what big things happen in the capital." The main thing is that the time-traveling heroine will travel through time in half a year.

She wanted to meet this time-traveling girl.
