After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 474 About the Escort Agency

After hearing what she said, Xia Wanniang thought it made sense. With free land and fertile farmland, many people should be willing to come.

She can also think of other policies to attract more people to develop the Northwest.

As long as she has the manpower, she will have no worries about not being able to develop the Northwest.

After making up her mind, she started writing and drawing on paper, and she didn't even notice when someone next to her changed.

Xiao Chiye looked at what she wrote and found it very interesting: "Free house, what do you think?"

Xia Wanniang heard his voice and looked up at him: "When did you come?"

"You've been here for quite a while." Xiao Chiye looked at her lovingly.

Xia Wanniang blinked: "Where's mom?"

"She's going to make you something delicious, saying that she wants to nourish you." Xiao Chiye touched his nose. He himself didn't even have such treatment.

Xia Wanniang smiled happily: "How is the negotiation going?"

Xiao Chiye put the brush in her hand on the pen holder: "Qingfeng told me something, I want to ask for your opinion."

Xia Wanniang turned to face him: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Chiye: "Qingfeng said that Zisen has an excellent talent for languages, and he wants to teach him some languages ​​outside the Great Wall, so he wants to take Zisen with him to this negotiation."

Xia Wanniang laughed and said, "This is a good thing, but I hope that all the children can participate in it. Negotiation is also an important lesson for them. This is a psychological game."

Xiao Chiye did not object: "Okay."

Xia Wanniang considered whether to build a new city in the middle of the three cities. Otherwise, there were too few cities in the northwest, and it would take a lot of time for some people to buy things.

She wrote a letter directly to Wu Xiao about this matter, and received a reply: You can build as many cities as you want, but the Ministry of Revenue has no money, so you have to bear all the expenses yourself, and officials can be deployed later if needed.

Xia Wanniang didn't expect the court to pay for it. She could get the materials herself, but manpower became a problem.

Or we can borrow some people from Xiao Chiye and his Northwest Army. In return, we can provide housing for their families and let them bring their families to settle in the Northwest.

The three brothers of the Xiong family also came to find Xia Wanniang, wanting to ask her about the escort agency she had mentioned before.

Xia Wanniang has been really busy lately. When she was suddenly asked about the escort agency, she remembered what she had said to them before: "Wait for me for a few days. I have some things to take care of first."

The three brothers of the Xiong family nodded and simply ran errands in the yamen.

Zhu Yao has now become Xia Wanniang's little follower. Whenever she gets up and goes out, this little girl follows her closely.

Xia Wanniang looked at her helplessly: "Zhu Yao, I'm not that heavy now, you don't have to follow me like this."

Zhu Yao's face was full of seriousness: "Follow... follow... don't worry."

Looking at her stubborn little face, Xia Wanniang had no choice but to compromise and just follow her.

He went to find the three people who were sorting out the negotiation documents: "Husband, Master Xu, Master Qing."

When Xiao Chiye saw her coming, he quickly stood up, held her arm, and asked her to come over and sit down: "If you want to say something, just ask someone to call you. Why bother running here yourself?"

After Xia Wanniang found out that she was pregnant, everyone in the family was more nervous than her except her. Even pregnant Rouyue was more worried about herself than the baby in her belly.

She was a little speechless: "I'm not made of clay. I will break if touched."

Xu Li said seriously: "It's better to be careful."

Qingfeng waved his fan and nodded: "That's right."

Xia Wanniang finally gave up arguing with them: "I came here because I have something to ask you."

"Just ask." Xu Li looked at her.

"I want the three brothers of the Xiong family to open an escort agency. As for the escorts, I want to use retired soldiers." After Xia Wanniang finished speaking, she looked at them.

Xu Li looked at Xiao Chiye without saying a word.

Xiao Chiye thought for a moment and said, "The retired soldiers are either too old or too injured to stay in the barracks. It may not be appropriate for them to be escorts."

Xia Wanniang just said a name: "Yin Yuanxun."

Xiao Chiye immediately understood what she meant: "If that's the case, I don't think it's a big problem, but they are all scattered in various places, and it's not appropriate to ask them to come to the northwest."
