Qi Baoer collected his attention and scooped out a small spoonful of tofu while eating it and asked: "You also set up a tofu workshop?"
Mrs. Tian smiled and said, "Well, your village is surrounded by several large villages. Most of the people grow soybeans in addition to rice.
The weather has been good these past few years, and soybeans have grown well;
But after all, that stuff is not serious grain, not many people know how to harvest it, and no one in that area knows how to make tofu, so all the soybeans are accumulated.
When Zhuo Wen found out about this, he set up a tofu workshop and collected all the soybeans around him. They didn't sell the tofu themselves, but distributed it to the surrounding villagers, who then sold the tofu on their shoulders.
.”
Making tofu is also a skill. Not to mention the villages near Zhuangzi, there are only two schools in Beijing.
It's just that those two families have kept this skill secret, and the people who have mastered it are their own people. One family even has a practice of passing it on from male to female.
The amount of tofu that can be made every day is very limited, and if it is so popular among wealthy families, it will basically be difficult for ordinary people to buy it.
Therefore, it is not easy to eat tofu in Beijing. Although tofu is not expensive, it is still a rare item.
However, in the past two days, tofu has appeared on the tables of many people in Beijing. Many of the villagers who went to get tofu from the Zhuangshang workshop came to the capital to sell it on their shoulders.
Old man Qi also said with admiration: "Although tofu is cheap, you can buy half a catty for a few pennies, but as long as you make more of this stuff, you can earn a lot of profit.
Zhuo Wen did a good job in this matter. The things made by other workshops in Zhuangzi were all expensive. They didn't ask the surrounding villagers to do the work for a while. It was nothing at first. After a long time, some people will inevitably be jealous.
When the tofu workshop comes out, they themselves only make a small fortune and let the villagers sell it. How can they be afraid that the tofu produced by this small workshop will not be eaten by Jingzhong? When the villagers make money, they will naturally feel grateful to them."
Also recognize them.
With this footing, you can gradually stand firm.
People are xenophobic. Even if Zhuangzi is obedient, there are many other people's land around Zhuangzi, and not all the surrounding villages are tenant farmers.
Even if you are a bunch of illiterate rural people, if people really try to trip you up, is it possible that you can still do nothing and fight with people every day?
Qi Bao'er smiled and said nothing. Zhuo Wen and Zhuo You had experienced this before, some of them more than once. If they didn't understand these aspects of personal relationships, their lives would be in vain.
After having dinner with the two elders and taking a walk for a while, Qi Baoer returned to his courtyard and saw Twelve already waiting here for a long time.
What you should pay attention to in Beijing is that she is older now. Twelve is a normal man after all, so Twelve will not casually enter the courtyard where Qi Baoer rests when nothing happens. The main people waiting in the courtyard are maids and
Small coconut.
"How?" Qi Baoer asked, cleaning his hands first.
Twelve reported in a low voice: "Master Shang didn't move, and that's not right. He pulled Wang Shangshu's collar, but he didn't hit anyone.
Moreover, Lord Shang went to the room after leaving the household department. He stayed in the room for about an hour before leaving. After leaving the palace, he left the palace directly and went to the suburban camp outside the capital. He held the tiger talisman and mobilized 20,000 troops.
Set off immediately to pick up the military pay transported halfway."
This time the Wang family has completely hit the wall. Not only will it hurt their feet, but it will also damage their muscles and bones if they don't heal properly.
After hearing this, Qi Baoer understood the emperor's plan:
——What has happened at Wuyue Pass cannot be changed. We can only compensate by letting the army from the suburban camp speed up the time for the military pay to arrive at Wuyue Pass.
Wuyue Pass is not far from where the main force of the Zhendong Army is stationed. Zhao Dexuan has returned to Dongguan after recovering from his injury a few years ago. The incident at Wuyue Pass does not require the court to worry too much in terms of military strength.
The only prerequisite is that the soldiers can wear clothes and eat.ъiquegetvt
Qi Baoer nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. The soldiers in the suburban camp were similar to the special soldiers in her previous life who prepared for battle. They did not reach the standard of the strongest soldiers, but they were still several times stronger than ordinary soldiers.
times, with them transporting military pay, not only the safety is guaranteed, but the speed can be at least twice as fast.
"Oh, by the way, sir, there is one more thing.
The emperor learned that the female members of the Wang family were causing trouble in the palace gate, and originally ordered Wang Shangshu to be summoned to the palace. However, Wang Shangshu remained unconscious, so the emperor turned to Concubine Ying and asked Concubine Ying to summon all the female members of the Wang family to the palace.
Got a training.
News spread from the palace that even Wang Shangshu’s wife was punished by being forced to kneel down.”
Qi Baoer: "..."
The emperor and Concubine Ying's move was so cruel, it was not inferior to Mrs. Shang's lack of virtue.
Originally, Madam Wang and the stepson Wang Shangshu only had a superficial peace. After Wang Shangshu became Shangshu, the imperial court had a mansion for him to live in. The two parties had almost no contact with each other, and those who came and went were servants of each government.
It shows that the relationship between the two parties is dependent on each other.
Wang Shangshu did not get along with his stepmother, and naturally Mrs. Wang's relationship with Mrs. Wang was not much better either.
In addition, Mrs. Wang favored a concubine. She often moved the things that Mrs. Wang had honored in the past to the concubine's house, and whenever she took Miss Wang Qi out, she always used the name of Wang Shangshu.
If you want to say that taking a name is to gain face, then it doesn't matter. On the contrary, it will bring closer the relationship between the two parties. However, the things Miss Wang Qi does always make Mrs. Wang feel that she is disgraced.
The incident a few years ago where two men robbed a woman had already caused Wang Shangshu to lose face, and also created a grudge with the Zhu family. Wang Shangshu was often tripped up by Zhu Shangshu in the court.
It seems that Mrs. Wang's dissatisfaction with Mrs. Wang and Miss Wang Qi has been suppressed enough.
It was fine this time. Because of their commotion, Mrs. Wang was taking good care of Wang Shangshu at home, but she was suddenly called into the palace. Pingbai was scolded by Concubine Ying, and the most embarrassing thing was that she was also punished.
kneel.
Now, I must hate Mrs. Wang and the others to the core?!
If Wang Shangshu is demoted again later...
This is to make the royal family fight among themselves.
Good guy, the Wang family is going to be violent.
The old emperor is the old emperor, and he really dealt with a lot of troubles without a single blow.
Once Mrs. Wang really resents Mrs. Wang and the others, she will never allow them to have the opportunity to put pressure on her. Miss Wang Qi’s so-called dream of entering the East Palace does not need anyone else. Mrs. Wang alone can block it to death.
.
Of course, the emperor and the prince are not afraid that Miss Wang Qi will get involved, and this is an unlikely possibility, but they want to be just in case.
Simply kill all possibilities in the bud as early as possible.
Twelve didn't know the key to this. Little Coconut, who often dealt with the inner house, understood it as soon as he heard it. He frowned and complained: "It's the Wang family who have no brains."
Now, it would be difficult for Miss Wang Qi to marry into a good family.
Qi Bao'er was also thinking about who was giving Mrs. Wang advice.
How much hatred does this have between Mrs. Wang and Miss Wang Qi?
Who would have thought that it was Miss Wang Qi herself who gave Mrs. Wang advice.
Moreover, Miss Wang Qi didn’t have someone guiding her, but she came up with the idea on her own.
