Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 202 Changes in the lives of ordinary people

"My dear nobles, even if you don't believe us, you have to believe in Princess Tai'an's judgment. There is not a single bad secret recipe sold from Princess Tai'an's Qianji Pavilion."

"Even officials who bought the eggs at my restaurant said they were delicious."

The peddler saw that the people were just smiling and not buying anything, so he thought that the noble people looked down on the things on the stall and hurriedly introduced them to the stall.

Xu Jinyu suppressed her embarrassment that she could dig out a three-story villa under her feet and asked: "Are these things selling well?"

"Of course. In previous winters, we all stayed at home to save food. This year, Princess Tai'an was kind-hearted and sold so many cheap secret recipes. Everyone can come to Hengxian Wharf to make some money."

The vendor said proudly: "I once sold this egg for five taels of silver in one day. I may not have been able to make that much money in a year before."

"I can make a new dress for my daughter this year, in bright red."

The hawker had a satisfied smile on his face and was full of hope for his future life.

"yes,."

The vendor selling salted duck eggs nearby quickly agreed: "I heard that there will be grains that can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu next year. The vendors who came back from Zhengyang County said that the highest yield of those grains is 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms. From now on, we should no longer go hungry!"

"Of course not."

Zi Shuyan stood nearby and answered confidently.

With a grain yield of 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms per mu, if there are still hungry people in Daqian, that is the emperor's problem.

"It's not just food. There are so many secret recipes sold in Tianji Pavilion. They're like sweaters and heated beds. With these two things, winter won't be uncomfortable at all."

"The doctor originally said that my father might not survive this winter, but now the doctor says that my father can live another three to five years."

Seeing that several distinguished people were willing to listen, these vendors spoke even more enthusiastically.

"Not only that, I heard from people in the capital that Princess Tai'an said that she would sell seeds of various spices and vegetables next spring, which we don't have in Daqian."

"If they really sell it, I will spend all my money to buy some. The scholar in our village said that this is the first batch of things, and the gentlemen in the capital will definitely want to try it. I can sell it for a good price."

"I heard from my third uncle's second aunt's cousin's son that the princess also offered a recipe for salt drying that can produce a ton of salt a day. In this way, the price of salt will definitely drop, and we can eat salt as much as we want."

As soon as these words came out, the vendors immediately surrounded the person who was speaking.

"Really?"

"How can there be a ton of salt in a day?"

······

The vendors surrounded by them were particularly proud: "My third uncle's second aunt's cousin's son is a yamen runner of the Jingzhao government. Their superior said that the emperor has said that if this salt can really be produced in such a large amount, the title of Princess Tai'an will be changed to Prince An."

"King An?"

"Your Majesty! Women can also be crowned kings!"

A vendor said in disbelief.

"Of course, the emperor's words are golden, so he can't go back on his word!"

The vendor murmured, "Girls can also become princes. Does that mean that girls will have more opportunities in the future? I won't have to worry about my precious daughter being bullied after I leave."

The vendor selling rotten eggs saw the man and sighed. The man and his wife had only one daughter, but he had a good relationship with his wife and was unwilling to divorce her and marry another.

But what will happen to his daughter after he dies? She will be eaten up by his whole family. Family members with a conscience will find a good family for his daughter, while those without conscience may just sell his daughter directly.

After thinking for a while, the vendor selling the spoiled eggs advised: "Brother Qin, don't think about it. Women are not allowed to own private property. You should find a way to give birth to a son! Or adopt your younger brother's son."

The man surnamed Qin shook his head: "No! My younger brother's son dares to bully my daughter when I am here. If I adopt him, my daughter will be bullied to death. I won't adopt him."

"But·····"

Looking at the man surnamed Qin's face, the vendor selling spoiled eggs gave up the idea of ​​persuading him. After so many years, he would have persuaded him if he could.

Xu Jinyu stood by and said nothing. In ancient times when women were not allowed to own private property, it was simply too difficult for women.

But it is too difficult to amend the laws of a country, and Xu Jinyu doesn't think he can do it just by talking.

An idea took shape in Xu Jinyu's mind.

"I hope Princess Tai'an can come up with something better so that we can all live a good life." The vendor selling the transformed eggs simply clasped his hands together and prayed.

The vendor next to him laughed and said, "Mr. Zhang, isn't our life good enough now? We can sell some things to make money. Your pigs are now 200 kilograms. In previous years, they could only grow over 100 kilograms at best. What kind of good life do you want?"

Old Zhang said without opening his eyes: "Who would complain that good days are too few? I also want to wear silk clothes and ride in a sedan chair. I tell you, I have made a lot of straw paper myself, and I will send my son to school next year."

"Hahaha... Old Zhang, with your son's brain, you still want him to be a scholar!"

Lao Zhang glared at the man who made fun of him and said, "Even if I can't become a scholar, I can be an accountant."

"Then I will send my son to school to try. Maybe my family's ancestral graves will be filled with smoke and a scholar will be born in my family. This is a big deal that will change our family's status."

"Hahaha, let's try them all. Anyway, the price of paper and ink is not that high now. We can still afford the salary, sir."

·······

A group of vendors stood there, looking forward to a bright future.

Xu Jinyu and Wei An smiled at each other. The effect of selling the secret recipe at a low price was beginning to show.

As long as the conditions are met, the people will find a better way out for themselves.

No matter whether that way out is studying or doing business.

Always believe in mankind's determination to move forward, Xu Jinyu gave them an opportunity to access knowledge.

So that they don't have to dig for food in the fields like their ancestors have done, and don't have to live the same monotonous life as their ancestors have done.

Xu Jinyu is looking forward to the arrival of such a prosperous era, because she will contribute to its creation.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Princess Tai'an."
