Chapter 166 Slowly hand over the property to the second brother
"Miss, how can you tell that it is a vixen? I think that vixen is really beautiful and can really fascinate men." Zhiyan asked curiously.
"I knew it when I first met her, when Aunt Liu and Li Feipeng divorced." Li Youran replied indifferently.
"Then their family will regret it to death!" Zhiyan felt that they deserved it.
The two chatted along the way and soon arrived home.
From a distance, I saw a carriage parked in front of the house.
When they got closer, they saw that it was Li Yuanbo, Li Kangze and Li Heming who had returned.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother!" Li Youran ran up excitedly and called out sweetly.
Li Yuanbo and the other two got off the carriage and looked at Li Youran who was running towards them with doting smiles on their faces.
Li Yuanbo picked up his sister, looked at her carefully, and said in surprise: "You Ran, you have grown a lot taller and heavier."
Li Youran giggled and said happily, "Yes, I've been eating well and sleeping well recently, so I've grown taller naturally."
"By the way, why did you come back so early today?" Li Youran asked curiously.
"We will go to Qizhou to take the exam the day after tomorrow, so the teacher asked us to come back early and have a good rest for a few days." Li Yuanbo explained.
"Oh, I see." Li Youran nodded to show his understanding.
At this time, Li Heming scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Actually... I wanted to go with my brother, so I went to ask my master for a few days off."
Hearing this, Li Youran couldn't help laughing and teased, "Third brother, you really are a clingy little tail."
Li Heming chuckled, touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.
"Let's go into the house quickly!" Li Kangze urged with a smile when he saw several people standing there.
After entering the house, several people sat down in the main room and found that the weather was really hot and humid, even though it was already August.
Seeing that several people were sweating from the heat, Li Youran ordered Zhi Zhiyan to take out a large watermelon from the refrigerator in the kitchen, cut it into small slices with a sharp knife, and bring it for them to taste.
"Brother, second brother, third brother, please try it. Isn't it so cool?" Li Youran's eyes were shining.
Li Yuanbo was the first to pick up a piece of watermelon. As soon as he got it, he felt a coolness, and then he took a light bite. The sweet taste combined with the coldness was really delicious.
Li Heming immediately picked up a piece of watermelon and stuffed it into his mouth. The sweet and delicious taste filled his mouth.
Li Kangze was quite polite. He picked up a piece of watermelon and took a small bite. It was really delicious and refreshing.
Three people gave a good review.
"I have asked every household in the village to plant watermelons. There should be plenty in the fields." Li Youran added immediately when he saw how eager they were to eat.
After eating the watermelon, Zhiyan took the empty plate away to wash it.
When Li Youran was about to leave, Li Kangze stopped him, "Ran'er, I don't want to study anymore. I already know all the characters. I want to help you with your work!"
"Second brother, didn't we agree on next year? You've only studied for a few months, and now you don't want to study anymore? You can still pass the exam and get a good degree!" Li Youran felt that his second brother was not motivated and was unwilling to read books.
"No, I don't want to take the imperial examination. My eldest brother can take it alone. I want to go into business and help Ran'er manage the business."
Li Kangze said seriously that he was indeed not interested in taking the imperial examination, he still liked money.
Li Youran knew that she couldn't force it, so she had to agree.
When Li's father and Ye came back, Li Youran also had someone bring them some chilled watermelon.
Old Man Li and Old Lady Cheng didn't come back until the evening. They couldn't sit still, so they went to the fields to work.
It's another new day. Today, Li Youran begins to slowly hand over her property to Li Kangze.
Li Youran thought that in ancient times women would use old cloth to make menstrual cloths when they had their periods. They would put wood ash in them, which could absorb water and kill bacteria. Those who were better off could use slightly better materials, but it was really miserable for ordinary people, especially women.
The thousand acres of land bestowed by the emperor have been planted with cotton, high-yield grain seeds, and high-yield sweet potatoes, corn and other crops.
He asked the surrounding villagers to help with planting. If someone needed seeds, Li Youran also provided them to the people.
It just so happens that cotton can be picked now and can be made into sanitary products, which is convenient for women.
Li Youran saw the menstrual cloth her mother used and thought that the situation could be improved, so she planted cotton early.
"Second brother, since you really don't want to go to school, then the property will be handed over to you!" Li Youran knew that he could not force his second brother to study, so he spoke.
"Yes, don't worry, sister. I will take care of everything for you. Just eat well, drink well and have fun." Li Kangze looked at his sister lovingly and said gently. After that, he reached out and touched Li Youran's head.
Li Youran was very moved when she heard her brother's words. She felt that she was so lucky to have such a brother.
So she handed over all her property to Li Kangze and told him her plan.
Li Youran plans to open a store specializing in selling women's products, and the name of the store is "Sleep Peacefully".
At the same time, she also wants to build a processing plant in the village, where she can hire some villagers to work so that they can also make money.
After listening to this, Li Kangze nodded, indicating that he understood what Li Youran meant.
Then, he couldn't wait to run to the house of Village Chief Li, wanting to buy land for building a processing plant.
Li Youran was not idle. She took out a piece of paper, picked up a piece of charcoal from the kitchen stove, sharpened it into a pen shape, and began to draw on the paper.
Soon, a design drawing of the processing plant appeared on paper.
The picture is divided into two courtyards, the front courtyard is where guests are received and affairs are handled, while the back courtyard is a large house where products are processed. There are also two warehouses on the left and right sides, which are used to store raw materials and finished products respectively.
After Li Kangze returned from the village chief's house, Li Youran handed him the blueprint of the processing plant and said, "This is the blueprint of the processing plant. We will build it according to this. The cotton is a long way from Lijia Village, so we will have the guards escort it here."
Li Kangze took the drawing, looked at it carefully, and then put it away carefully.
Then, Li Youran took out a thick stack of silver bills from the space and handed it to him.
"Although we have enough money at home now, we should still prepare some money just in case." Li Youran was worried that there might be a shortage of funds in the future.
Today, Li Youran's industries are profitable, especially her Pinyou Pavilion, which has become famous in other states and attracted many diners to come and try it.
This not only promoted the development of Qizhou, but also improved the local economic level.
