Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 210 Raising a younger brother in ancient times 11

After playing more than ten rounds of the game, all the dried meat and meat jerky that Yun Chu brought were eaten up.

Seeing that the food was all eaten, these boys and girls suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

They actually ate up all the food prepared by others.

He quickly asked the servants to bring the things they brought and invite Yun Chu to eat.

After chatting with Yun Chu, they found that Yun Chu was really knowledgeable.

She doesn't look like an ordinary citizen's daughter at all.

Chen Jinlan said: "Sister Fang, you really know a lot."

"I read a lot and went to a lot of places, so I know a lot."

"Sister Fang, what books have you read?"

"After reading the Four Books and Five Classics, there are countless miscellaneous books."

"Wow, you've read all the Four Books and Five Classics. Sister Fang is really amazing."

Yun Chu chatted with everyone for about three hours before everyone dispersed and went home.

Chen Jinlan also asked about Yun Chu's address and said that they could make an appointment to go out together in the future.

Yun Chu's meat jerky shop also did better business because of Chen Jinlan and the others.

Because of getting to know Chen Jinlan and the others, Yun Chu's business was good and no one came to him to scam him.

On November 22, it was Chen Jinlan’s fifteenth birthday, and it was a very grand ceremony because it was her coming-of-age ceremony.

Yun Chu was also invited by Chen Jinlan to attend her coming-of-age ceremony.

At the coming-of-age ceremony, Yun Chu met Ling Xuan, a girl who had traveled through time.

Ling Xuan is the granddaughter of the Chief Clerk of the Imperial Household Department and is fifteen years old this year.

Ling Xuan was a killer. Her assassination attempt failed and she was killed by the target's men while escaping.

Ling Xuan is a decisive person.

Feng Ying knew Ling Xuan, so Yun Chu also knew Ling Xuan.

Feng Ying said, "Sister Xuan, are you feeling better?"

Ling Xuan nodded, "It's much better now."

Feng Ying asked quietly, "How did you accidentally fall into the water? Was it your stepmother who hurt you?"

Ling Xuan gave her a look that said nothing.

Feng Ying understood immediately, "Your stepmother is really vicious and cruel."

Feng Ying felt that Ling Xuan was really pitiful because her mother died during childbirth.

Less than half a year after her death, her father married a new wife.

She gave birth to a younger brother and sister who was one year younger than her.

She grew up with her grandmother. Three years ago, Ling Xuan's grandmother passed away, and Ling Xuan had to live at the hands of her stepmother.

This stepmother seems to be very nice to Ling Xuan on the surface, but she sends people to slander Ling Xuan behind her back.

Yun Chu was right beside them, watching everyone chatting.

When the auspicious time came, Chen Jinlan's coming-of-age ceremony began.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, everyone started to play, watch plays, etc.

When it was noon, the banquet began.

After having lunch and playing for a while in the afternoon, Yun Chu left.

After Yun Chu returned home, he was thinking about whether to open a new store.

She remembered that the queen would give birth to a prince next year, and this prince would be directly named the crown prince.

When the grand ceremony is about to be held, she can prepare some fine treasures and make a fortune.

Yun Chu did what he said and bought another shop in the inner city and opened a rare treasure pavilion.

As for the source of goods, there are quite a few jade stones in Yunchu Space.

But these jades are not carved.

I checked the Yunchu system mall and found a full smart phone that required 3,000 points.

Although it is expensive, this fully intelligent machine can carve anything, including wood carving, jade carving, stone carving, gold carving, silver carving, etc.

It can also make jewelry, etc.

Yun Chu bought one.

When fully intelligent phones come out, they have a smart screen, and the objects to be engraved can be placed in a green aperture and can be laser engraved.

Yun Chu tried it with marble first, and the smart screen recommended suitable shapes for carving.

Yun Chu randomly chose one and carved a pattern out of the marble in less than a minute.

Yes, three thousand points are worth it.

Yunchu began to carve jade.

This thing can also engrave automatically. Just select smart engraving, put the things you want to engrave behind the blue light circle, and it will automatically engrave all of these things.

After Yun Chu finished setting up, he left the space.

After one night, Yun Chu had carved something that he could sell.

The carved objects are then made into various unwanted jewelry.

Five days later, Yun Chu's Qizhen Pavilion officially opened.

We didn’t sell any large jade or gold carvings, only women’s jewelry.

Because of its unique designs, the jewelry is very popular.

Among them, animal jewelry is the most popular.

After the queen gave birth to a prince, she issued an edict to name him crown prince when he was one hundred days old.

Now the court officials are all looking for something to offer as a gift.

The jade and gold articles that Yun Chu specially prepared for these hundred days were selling very well.

The profit reached hundreds of thousands of taels.

After making this large sum of money, Yun Chu no longer took out precious treasures and only sold some women's jewelry.

Three years passed like this, and the taxation in the Qing Dynasty became increasingly heavy.

Although Fang Yan was a scholar, the land that was exempt from tax for scholars was only 50 acres, and the rest had to be taxed.

Thirty percent of the grain produced per acre of land had to be taxed, and shops were also taxed.

Yun Chu sighed and said that if the tax was increased further, she would have to close the meat jerky shop.

She felt that life was difficult, and life for the people of Qing Dynasty was even more difficult.

Because the people will still be exploited by some corrupt officials.

At the end of this year, Mongolia also launched a war against Qing.

Because of the corruption of corrupt officials, the armors of the soldiers were all of inferior quality. Because of these inferior armors, the Qing Dynasty was defeated and nearly 70,000 soldiers died.

The Mongols occupied three cities of the Qing Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty negotiated peace with the Mongols.

In order to negotiate peace with Mongolia, the Qing Dynasty once again levied taxes and grain.

Because of the peace talks, the Qing Dynasty had to pay many things as compensation to the Mongolian Kingdom.

Silver, food, beauties, etc.

At this time, Yun Chu had already returned to Quzhou.

The shops in the capital have been closed.

If Fang Yan hadn't asked Yun Chu to dress up ugly, Yun Chu would have almost been arrested by the government and become a beauty presented to the emperor.

All the beauties presented to the Mongolian Empire were captured from the people.

The people lived in misery and complained bitterly, but the emperor didn't care at all.

Because in the past two years, the evil queen has taken in many young and beautiful concubines for the emperor, making the emperor obsessed with women.

He also introduced an alchemist to the emperor, saying that taking the elixir could make one immortal.

Now the government affairs are handled by the evil queen.

"Young Master, I have followed your instructions and secretly bought the children who were sold by their parents." Er Huai reported.

"Well, how many people are there now?"

"There are eighty-three boys and two hundred and seven girls."

"Is there enough silver?"

"There are still more than two hundred taels, which is enough for the time being."

Fang Yan has done a lot of things in secret in the past few years, and he is not short of money at all now.

He stole all the money hidden by corrupt officials.

In his previous life, he took people to investigate many places where these corrupt officials hid their money.

The money of this corrupt official was just right for him to use.

The money found amounted to one million taels of silver.

It’s enough to recruit soldiers and buy horses.

Moreover, the shop opened by his sister is quite profitable.

"How long has Siduan been in Mengguo?"

"It's been almost four months. I should be able to come back in two months."

Fang Yan arranged for Siduan to go to Meng State to buy horses. Of course, Siduan did not go alone, there was a caravan following him.

This caravan is the Jin caravan, and it has been doing business with the Jin, Meng, and Hu families.

Fang Yan conquered the Jin family, and now the Jin family works for Fang Yan.

In another year, the evil queen will die. When she dies, the Qing Dynasty will be in chaos.

When there is chaos, that is when he expands his power.
