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

Chapter 226

His originally furious mood was calmed down by a certain thought.

If Ye Xi really wanted to cut off this path, she could just take advantage of his unpreparedness to prepare a bowl of infertility soup.

But she chose the contraceptive soup, which meant that she didn't want to take things to the extreme. So he should be happy.

He always knew that she was stubborn, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so many years with her, so he turned around and left in silence.

Ye Xi thought she would have to deal with him for a while longer, but she didn't expect that he would just leave like this. This was beyond her expectations.

Although Wei Jue left, he called Dong Ju before leaving.

First, he scolded her for not taking good care of Ye Xi and letting her take medicine without reason, and then he told her to pay attention to Ye Xi's eating habits in the future.

It is not allowed to use too much contraceptive soup, Dongju agreed carefully.

Since Ye Xi is now depressed, let's just do as she wishes.

It’s not like he can’t wait. The two of them… have a long way to go.

Time flies, grass grows and birds sing, Wei Jue resumes his previous frequency of going to the Duke's Mansion and Yuexi Cottage.

He felt as if everything had returned to the days before Ye Xi gave birth to Wei Ye.

Ye Xi started to get busy from then on, and he sent someone to follow her to find out what she was busy with.

It seemed that she had asked the businesses in which she had invested to send her letters on the hydrology, geography and climate of various places when they traveled across the country a long time ago.

Not everyone can have a map of the Zhou Dynasty, and many people will never leave the place where they were born in their entire lives.

But when Ye Xi asked him for it, he gave it to her.

How could he not get a map when he was now a third-rank official?

Ye Xi often took the map and compared it with the records brought back by the merchant to study, and then asked someone to make a piece of fine sheepskin.

Based on the map given by Wei Jue, a more detailed map was redrawn.

The map Wei Jue gave only marked big cities and famous mountains and rivers, and what she wanted to draw was a map that included many small cities and mountains.

In the map she drew, the big city was only an auxiliary location, and she described the nearby small towns and hills in more detail.

The purpose of her doing this was to make it easier for her to develop agriculture in the future.

Among the four classes of people, she wanted to take the agricultural route.

Food is the most important thing for people. She expects Ashan to bring back the crops she wants and make a difference in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The farmlands near big cities are usually controlled by big families, so she has no chance to get her hands on them.

However, the barren land in the remote towns was not valued by most big families and was in the hands of tenants.

She now wants to integrate these lands to grow corresponding crops, and then process and sell the crops.

Try this to see how much profit you can make.

For herself, she is not too short of money now, but she wants to make preparations for Wei Ye.

If he needed her support in the future, she would help without hesitation.

Before, because Wei Ye was at home and she had to take care of the children, she put all the letters sent by the company aside.

Now that she had turned them out, she found it difficult to clearly mark the locations of the small towns.

Because the descriptions in the letters are all like "There is a small town more than 300 miles east of a certain city, named XX, with a population of about 100 households. It is good at growing XX, there is little rain, and there are no big rivers."

She didn't even know how to measure.

Later she came up with an idea. She first used the distance between several typical large cities as a standard, and then marked the small cities at fixed distances based on the descriptions.

If there is a conflict, just draw it next to it and indicate it with a different color. That’s the meaning.
