Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 932: Chapter 932 Fainted_1 Chapter 932: Chapter 932 Fainted_1 Qiao Xiaomai’s peach blossom eyes were lifeless and red, her little face white as paper, “But, but San Lang and I really don’t know the whereabouts of that batch of treasure…”

“However, the treasure was indeed lost under the Tong Family’s watch, and your great-grandmother once said that this treasure should enter the National Treasury and that every penny should be spent on the welfare of the people,” Yang Wenxiao said seriously, reasoning with her as he witnessed Qiao Xiaomai’s appearance.

“Tell me, your Tong Family lost a treasure worth a hundred billion to the common folk all at once, shouldn’t you compensate for it?”

“What I had originally planned was to use this treasure to build roads, dig wells, reduce taxes, and formulate policies to care for the elderly, such as offering a certain amount of rice, flour, and clothing to those over seventy years old, and more for those over eighty. I intended to spend it bit by bit, slowly on the people, but now that the treasure is lost, I can’t do any of it.”

“However, taking into account that you’ve developed the fire kang, and considering old times, I won’t ask you to handle other matters, you just need to build roads.”

“Now, tell me, isn’t this already treating you well?”

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

Her eyes began to well up with tears, which quickly slid down her face, falling in a rush, “But with this sudden debt of over ten billion silver, I… I… I can’t breathe…”

Having said this, she clutched at her chest, thumped it several times, opened her mouth wide, and gasped for air, tears smearing her face.

Seeing this, Yang Wenxiao was about to continue with his reasoning, but Qiao Xiaomai’s eyes rolled back, and the expression on her face froze.

She had fainted.

Yang Wenxiao “…”

Yang Hao quickly said, “Quickly summon the Imperial Doctor.”

Tong San Lang hugged Qiao Xiaomai tight and whispered, “She’s okay, she just couldn’t bear it for the moment, that’s why she fainted.”

“Carry her down to rest, when she wakes up, she can come back to reply,” Yang Wenxiao said.

Tong San Lang quietly acknowledged, bent down, and carried Qiao Xiaomai back to Mai Yuan.

Yang Hao watched the three leave, hesitated for a moment, then spoke up, “Grandpa Emperor, what if she cannot manage it within ten years… over ten billion is just too much.”

The annual income of Daqi was less than a billion.

For a rural woman to come up with so much was indeed enough to faint.

Hearing this, Yang Wenxiao asked instead of answering, “What do you think of her craftsmanship?”

“Very good.”

“What would happen if these things were brought to the Capital City?” Yang Wenxiao asked again.

“They would definitely be sought after, but what she excels in is only cuisine. There are many who love good food, but also many who do not indulge their appetites too much. Those Aristocratic Families would not let their food-loving family members eat their families into ruin.”

“But she has done more than just come up with food. She has also invented the tricycle and the fire kang.”

“What if in the future she cannot come up with any new novelties?”

Hearing this, Yang Wenxiao sighed softly, “Setting this ten-year term is actually based on my own lifespan; it’s uncertain whether I can live another ten years. If I push her like this, she might tap into her potential and fulfil the demands, which would be wonderful for everyone.”

“If she can’t complete the task, then your Imperial Father and you will have to extend her deadline. You can’t just drive her to death.”

If he had encountered this situation fifty years earlier, he would have given Qiao Xiaomai fifty years’ time.

The construction of roads and wells he mentioned earlier was something he intended to implement over a lifetime, but now he didn’t have much time left. It was unknown how long he would live, and he might succumb to a sudden illness tomorrow.
