Chapter 161 Buying Land
The queen was shocked. "Take it out and sell it?"
A princess is actually going to sell things?
"You are a princess, why do you have to sell things? Even if you do nothing, your mother can still keep you fat and white. We don't lack money at all, why do you have to go through so much trouble?"
Xia Qingqing could understand why her mother said this. After all, she had never suffered any hardship in her life and had never thought about what it was like to suffer.
But it usually doesn’t go so smoothly. What if something unexpected happens? Who knows what will happen in the future?
"Mother, it's better to have something than nothing. Besides, I've already told Father that our country must become strong, so strong that the enemy dare not invade us.
If we want to become powerful, we need silver, lots of silver. Without silver, there is nothing we can do."
The queen looked at Xia Qingqing in a daze. She never expected that such a little child could understand so many things.
Moreover, this is a matter of state affairs. The emperor actually indulges Nannan even in this regard, which means that Nannan is more important in the emperor's mind.
A possibility occurred to my mind, and I was so scared that my eyes widened a little, and I covered my mouth and shook my head.
How could I think like this? Isn't this outrageous? I force myself not to think about these things.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
The Queen reacted and said.
"It's okay. Just do what you want to do. Don't ask mother. Mother will support you."
Xia Qingqing knew that they would support her, and she nodded happily, "Yes, Nannan will definitely make a lot of money!!"
"Okay, then, good luck, Nannan."
This word was said by Xia Qingqing. I asked her about it at the beginning and knew it meant encouragement.
After returning to my yard, I started making my own plans.
Last time, people from Wusu bought 3,000 kilograms of vegetables and made a lot of money.
Xia Xuan gave all these to Xia Qingqing. He really did what he said and gave all of them to Xia Qingqing.
This money can be used to buy a piece of land and make a ranch.
It's more than enough.
The next day, I went out directly and walked outside the city gate. There were many villagers nearby and I could buy some land in these villages.
She hired some villagers to help her look after the cattle and sheep. These villagers would take care of the cattle and sheep and they could also make money.
It's a mutually beneficial relationship.
When the villagers saw the princess coming, they couldn't believe it, so the village chief took people to the village entrance to meet her.
Soon I saw an exquisite carriage with some gems and other things on it, which were sparkling under the sunlight.
It was particularly dazzling, yet so dazzling that the villagers couldn't take their eyes off it.
But when they saw the carriage stop in front of them, they hurriedly lowered their heads.
After all, she is still a princess. If you offend her accidentally, it would be a capital crime.
"Your Highness, we didn't know you were coming. We are so late. Please forgive us for coming so late."
There was a hint of panic on their faces; they had just received the news that the princess was coming.
They didn't even have time to change out of their good clothes before rushing here.
I don’t know if the princess will blame them. After all, what they did was simply inappropriate.
Unexpectedly, Xia Qingqing just smiled and said.
"It doesn't matter. I don't know who called you. I just came here to buy land."
Looking at the officials next to him, he knew at a glance that they were the ones who did it. They had originally intended to come here secretly, but they didn't expect that there would be such a scene.
I hate this kind of fakeness the most. "It's okay, just get up quickly, I'll go talk to the village chief and you guys continue to do your things."
They didn't expect the princess to be so easy to get along with, and they were all stunned.
"Who is the village chief?" Chuntao asked.
A middle-aged man came out from the crowd, hunched over.
"It's me. I'm the village chief."
Xia Qingqing nodded, and spoke softly, fearing that he would feel scared.
"I want to buy a piece of land. Can you decide for me?"
"Yes, yes, the princess will follow me."
Xia Qingqing followed the village chief inside and said, "Princess, our house is inside. Please wait for a while."
"It's okay, take your time."
Along the way, Xia Qingqing never expressed any disdain or impatience in her tone, and was always gentle, which made the village chief relax a little.
When they walked into the room, there were a few children inside. The village chief hurriedly called them in and turned around and said embarrassedly.
"Princess, these are my grandchildren. Please don't mind."
Xia Qingqing shook her head and said, "It's okay, kids, just let them come out and play."
When Xia Qingqing said this, I thought she was an adult and forgot that she was just a child.
But the village chief didn't dare to treat the princess as a child. How could a child be so calm?
Children of the princess' age are usually very naughty and it is impossible for them to speak so fluently.
But the village chief still didn't dare let them out, in case they offended the princess.
He asked them to go back to their room and watched them leave before going back inside.
After he entered the house, those little brats ran out again and wanted to see where the village chief was.
Xia Qingqing was standing in the yard. Seeing their actions, she thought they were very cute and waved at them gently.
"Come."
The two children hesitated for a moment. The village chief had not come out yet, so they slowly walked towards Xia Qingqing.
They were much taller than Xia Qingqing, and Xia Qingqing was a little shocked when she saw their height.
When I was farther away just now, it looked small, but I didn't expect it to be so high.
He pulled the corner of his mouth and glanced at Chuntao, who immediately knew what he meant and took out a few candies.
Xia Qingqing put all the candies into their hands.
"Here are the candies for you. Eat them."
When they saw so many candies, their mouths immediately opened wide, and from their eyes, it could be seen that although they were cautious, they were very excited.
After taking it, he bowed to Xia Qingqing. When he heard a sound coming from inside the room, he ran into the room in panic.
When they entered the room, the village chief just came out and didn't notice any changes.
"Princess, this is the land in our village. How much do you want?"
The village chief handed a blueprint to Xia Qingqing, which showed the unowned land in the village.
