Su Binglan said, “I just happened to bring some ingredients. We can cook and have lunch here. I brought many ingredients such as eggs, meat, seasonings, etcetera. I’ll make meat puffs.”
She washed her hands and prepared to cook while Ji Xingye looked on, dazed. He was surprised at how down-to-earth she was.
Lin Yishi was at a loss and did not know what to say when Su Binglan started making lunch. He wanted to say something but could not make a sound.
Soon after, Su Binglan kneaded the dough and then cut the meat before seasoning it. Lin Yishi wanted to help, but Su Binglan said, “You can watch and learn first. If you want to start a small business later, you can do it.”
Lin Yishi had severely injured his leg on the battlefield and could no longer do heavy work. Even if he decided to work at the factory, he probably would not be able to do much.
Therefore, Su Binglan thought he should maybe set up a stall to earn money. After all, he could do that while sitting down. Ultimately, it depended on what Lin Yishi chose.
Lin Yishi became emotional after hearing Su Binglan’s words. He said, “Thank you so much, Your Highness. 1 don’t know what else to say.”
Su Binglan responded, “What I’m doing now was also my brother’s idea. He has always been thinking about you and the other soldiers. You should live well and show my brother your fighting spirit if you want to thank him.”
Lin Yishi felt rejuvenated after listening to the princess’s encouraging words. He felt like he could do anything, even opening a stall to run a small business.
Su Binglan added, “Many people in Su Teng village have set up stalls to earn money. If your products are good, they’ll practically sell themselves. People might even fight to buy your products if they’re excellent.”
Lin Yishi could imagine being successful as he continued to listen. He did not fear hardships as long as he could earn money to give his family a better life.
His wife and son had suffered much over the past few years, and Lin Yishi wanted to earn as much as possible to make it up to them. He also did not want his mother to worry.
Ads by Pubfuture Meanwhile, Ji Xingye was amazed as he watched Su Binglan’s busy figure. He felt she could rejuvenate anyone’s fighting spirit with her charisma. Moreover, she was calm and gentle.
Although the house was old and worn, Su Binglan showed no trace of disdain.
She even wiped down the cooking pots naturally. Still, the house was tidier
than most would expect.
The roof would leak whenever it rained. No noblewoman would be willing to visit such a village, let alone cook with a calm expression. However, Su
Binglan differed. She exuded a peaceful and convincing aura instead.
She said, “You must prepare the meat and vegetables well if you want to make meat puffs. Chop the meat finely and then add it to the dough later. It’ll make the end product taste better.”
She explained the steps to Lin Yishi as she spoke. The latter was quick-witted and could remember everything Su Binglan said. Still, he wanted to take notes. He considered setting up a stall when his wife worked at one of the factories.
Lin Yishi regretted not thinking about it before. Even so, he would not have specific skills to open a stall and would not know what to sell. He was not great at cooking, either.
Moreover, Lin Yishi dared not experiment with food because the family barely had any. Even having noodles was a luxury. The family usually prioritized Lin Xiaoxi regarding food.
“Thank you again for everything, Your Highness.”
Su Binglan helplessly said, “You’ve said that too many times, Yishi. There really isn’t a need to thank me. You and the other soldiers have sacrificed much to protect Dingzhou and its people.
“We should be the ones thanking you instead. We should also thank your brother.’
Meanwhile, Lin Yishi’s wife, Madam Cai, returned home. When she reached the entrance, she was shocked to see a carriage. Since she knew none of her relatives had a carriage, she wondered who had visited.@@novelbin@@
Madam Cai was anxious as she quickly carried the firewood to the door. Her heart raced as she saw the things in the courtyard and two people standing inside.
Madam Cai was stunned when she noticed Ji Xingye’s uniform. She immediately recognized him as a general.
Ads by Pubfuture Lin Yishi saw her and hurriedly approached with his walking stick, saying, “You’re home!”
Madam Cai muttered with concern, “l told you to rest. Why are you moving around so much? Don’t fall, okay?”
Immediately after, she realized her husband was smiling widely. She could not remember the last time she saw him so excited. She could only wonder what had happened.
Lin Yishi knew his wife was confused, so he explained, “Let me introduce you. That’s General Xingye and that’s Princess Binglan.”
Madam Cai was shocked and quickly bowed. “Greetings, Princess Binglan and
General Xingye.”
‘Why would such influential people visit our home?’
She motioned to kneel, her legs going weak.
Su Binglan said smilingly, “There’s no need to be so formal, Madam Cai. I’ll let Yishi explain our visit, okay?”
“Honey, Your Highness offered us jobs at a paper mill in Su Teng Village. 1 thought you should work there instead because of my leg injury. Princess Binglan is thoughtful enough to teach me how to make meat puffs.
“l plan to set up a stall to sell meat puffs. We’ll also have a place to stay in Su Teng Village. Your Highness says there will be annual leave and vacations during the New Year. We can return here whenever we want, too.
“We should bring Mother along. Oh, right, Your Majesty treated Mother with acupuncture just now and even gave me medicine for Mother. Your Majesty said Mother will feel better in a few days. Children in Su Teng Village can also attend Blue Mountain Academy.”
Lin Yishi told his wife everything in detail. She was shocked as her eyes widened.
‘Is all that true? Am 1 hallucinating?’
As if he could read his wife’s thoughts, Lin Yishi nodded assuringly at her. Moreover, he knew the princess and the general would never lie to them.
“Thank you, Princess Binglan and General Xingye.” Madam Cai knelt and kowtowed.
“You don’t have to…” Ji Xingye said, “l only accompanied Her Highness here, and Prince Ruozhu was the one who arranged all this. You should thank Her Highness and His Highness, not me.”
Madam Cai was about to say something when Su Binglan gently pulled her up, saying, “You don’t have to thank us, Madam Cai. We’re grateful to your husband and his brother for serving the country.
“My brother and I should care for you and your family. You’ll know what your husband means when you visit Su Teng Village. You don’t have to worry about a thing there..”

Madam Cai did not expect the princess to be so gentle and easy to talk to. Moreover, Su Binglan held Madam Cai’s hand as she spoke, even though
Madam Cai’s hands were muddy and dirty from gathering firewood. “Your Highness, I haven’t washed my hands.”
“It’s okay. That’s nature’s soil. With it, we can grow food and crops to feed each other,” When Su Binglan said that, all the uneasiness in Madam Cai’s heart disappeared.
After chatting for a while, Su Binglan washed her hands with Madam Cai. Then Madam Cai helped Su Binglan cook. The latter said, “l taught your husband how to mix the fillings just now. Here they all are.@@novelbin@@
“We added sugar to the dough when I kneaded it just now. Now that you’re here, we can start making the puffs.”
Madam Cai took out a board for the dough. Su Binglan had brought plenty of flour with her, so she sprinkled some on the board to prevent the dough from sticking. Next, she rolled the dough and cut it into strips.
“Your Highness,” Madam Cai spoke softly, “Let me do it. I’m strong.” ‘She’s a princess and has a noble status. I can’t allow her to do such a thing, right?’
Madam Cai insisted on doing it. After some thought, Su Binglan realized Madam Cai would learn faster if she did it herself. However, Lin Yishi said,
“Cai, let me knead the dough.”
Ads by Pubfuture Since he could not do farm work, he would help his wife cook. Therefore, he and his wife worked together while Su Binglan gave them instructions along the way.
“Press the dough and make it even. Make it a little thinner, and then wrap the meat with the flattened dough. Then pinch it tightly.”
Madam Cai responded, “It’s similar to making steamed buns, right?”
Su Binglan said smilingly, ‘You’re right, but it’s slightly different because you have to press it together to make it thin. You can then sprinkle sesame seeds on the outside.
“If you don’t have sesame seeds, you can also use peanuts. If you grind and sprinkle them on top, they will be fragrant once roasted.”
Madam Cai and Lin Yishi worked quickly together under Su Binglan’s guidance. Soon, the couple prepared ten meat puffs. Su Binglan smiled and said, “Next, we can fry them.”
Lin Xiaoxi said, “I’ll start the fire.’
He was sensible enough to help his parents whenever they were busy. However, Ji Xingye insisted, “l can do that.” He could not bear to let a child do it.
“Don’t we need oil, Your Highness?” Madam Cai asked. She would not dare to speak if the princess had a bad temper. However, she knew the princess was kindhearted. Madam Cai felt dignified that she could speak to Su Binglan.
“We don’t need oil because we’re baking these,” Su Binglan said, “We’ll add the pancakes to the pot directly. When both sides are golden-brown, we can remove and eat them.’
Lin Yishi and his family had not eaten noodles for a long time, nor had they eaten meat puffs. Su Binglan had brought meat and flour to them, which they were grateful for.
When the meat puffs were ready, a delectable fragrance wafted through the house. Lin Yishi, his wife, and his son could not help but feel intoxicated. Since the pot was relatively large, they could bake a few at once.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan removed the meat puffs from the pot and handed one to each person. “Careful, they’re hot. Blow on them before eating. Have a taste, everyone.”
Ji Xingye had eaten Su Binglan’s cooking in the morning and remembered how delicious it was. Therefore, he forgot everything else and took a bite. Immediately after, a nice, crisp sound echoed.
As soon as the food touched his tongue, he could feel how crispy and fragrant it was. Although it was a little hot when he bit into it, the heat quickly subsided.
The meat carried a strong fragrance from his mouth to his nose. After a few more bites, the tip of his tongue felt a bit numb. That was because Su Binglan had added some chili to it for flavor.
Ji Xingye!s eyes lit up. He rarely spoke and smiled since becoming a general. He was always calm and collected when doing things, but the taste of the meat puff overwhelmed him.
He never cared much about food because he had never eaten anything this tasty. He never knew how delicious meat puffs could be. Although it looked like a simple dish, it tasted amazing.
“Gosh, this is too delicious.” Ji Xingye almost cried.
‘If only I could freeload food from the princess for every meal!’ He could not help but exclaim inwardly. He did not care if the food was still hot.
“It’s the most delicious thing I’ve eaten,” Ji Xingye could not find another adjective to describe the food.
Although Madam Cai was excited to try the meat puffs, she and her husband considered Old Madam Lin and Lin Xiaoxi first. Since Old Madam Lin was still asleep, the family of three felt they should not eat yet.
The couple took a piece and blew on it for Lin Xiaoxi. “It’s still a little hot, so eat it slowly, okay?”
“Thank you, Mother.” Lin Xiaoxi nodded. “Mother, Father, you should eat, too.”
😍 Casual Date is just a click away! Ads by Pubfuture He took a bite and then offered the rest to his parents. Madam Cai felt
emotional as she said, “I have some, son. There’s plenty more to eat, okay?”
Lin Yishi and Madam Cai’s hands trembled after taking a bite. The two looked at each other in disbelief, thinking the same thing, ‘It’s so tasty!’
They could already imagine how good their business would be if they sold these meat puffs. The deliciousness almost made the couple cry. They cherished it even more because the princess had taught them how to make the meat puffs.
“How is it?” Su Binglan asked.
“It’s so delicious that we don’t know how else to describe it. We never knew we could bake these things, either.”
“l agree.” Madam Cai added.
The couple knew how to make buns but never imagined making meat puffs.
“I’m glad you think so,” Su Binglan said, “Others can imitate this, but they will never get the seasoning right. Yours will stand out as long as you season it as I taught you.”
Lin Yishi asked softly, “Your Highness, what ingredient causes this slight numbness on my tongue?”
“That’s chili powder. I only added a little of it to the seasoning. If you add too much, most customers might be unable to eat it because it’ll be too spicy.
“As you continue to make these, you can study and adjust the amount of seasoning. You can also make newer delicacies by using this recipe as a base, such as pancakes and chicken pot pies.” Su Binglan told them everything she knew, and the couple listened attentively.
The Lins could not stop smiling after eating and drinking their fill. Su Binglan chatted with them for a while longer before leaving them a few silver taels.
She said, “You can pack your things soon. This silver is for the travel fees, and this is an invitation card. Take this and report to Su Teng Village’s paper mill, okay? Someone there will receive you and settle you in.”
The family repeatedly thanked Su Binglan for everything she had done for them.
Madam Cai felt like she was in a dream. She held onto her husband’s hand as
Su Binglan and Ji Xingye left..

Lin Yishi understood his wife’s feelings. He said, “It’s all true, dear. Look, the meat puffs are still on the plate. We haven’t finished them yet. Her Highness gave us plenty of food.
“When my mother recovers, we’ll clean this place up and set off for Su Teng Village. We have a new skill now, dear. I can set up a store and sell meat puffs to earn enough and support you. You no longer have to work so hard.”
Madam Cai wiped her tears and sobbed, saying, “l don’t want you to work too hard, either. I’ll work at the paper mill, okay? It’s more stable with the salary and bonus.
“Since we can stay in the staff dormitory, we should only spend money on food and save the rest. Also, Xiaoxi can attend Blue Mountain Academy for free. We just need to buy him some brushes, ink, paper, and an inkstone.
“If it’s like Her Highness says, we can save up and continue supporting Xiaoxi’s education. Let’s have a few more children and teach them to be loyal to Prince Ruozhu.’
Lin Yishi nodded. “l agree, dear. We can teach them to be of significance to our country.”
The couple was grateful to Su Binglan and Lan Ruozhu. Although the former had little capabilities, they hoped their son and future children would surpass them.
As Lin Yishi and his wife packed their things, they realized how much Su Binglan had given them. She even brought them a basket of desserts. It was apparent it was for their son. The two were emotional beyond words.
Soon, the villagers learned of what had happened. In the past, they thought Old Madam Lin was foolish to let her eldest son join the army. Lin Yishi could have died if he had been reckless.
Ads by Pubfuture However, the villagers no longer thought so. Instead, they felt envious of Lin Yishi and his wife.
“The prince and princess take such good care of Yishi because he and his brother joined the army.”
“l also heard that those who are currently in the army will receive five acres of land and grain seeds. Supposedly, those seeds will produce higher yields.”
“What? Really?”
“It’s true. My son works in the government office and knows these things. He’s already starting to tally the wastelands.”
“But the wastelands aren’t ideal for farming, right?”
“l wonder where His Highness got those seeds from. I heard they can grow in the wastelands, which is unbelievable.’
The villagers hurried home after hearing these things.
“l want to go home and discuss this with my grandsons. I wonder if they’d want to join the army.”
“I’ll head home and ask my sons, too.”
“l wonder if Prince Ruozhu is still recruiting soldiers and if there are any restrictions. I want to register if I can.”
Later that afternoon, Su Binglan went to Hillock Village to visit a particular family. Meanwhile, Old Master Cao and Old Madam Cao had gone to plow the fields.
Ads by Pubfuture Since it was spring, the grass had started to grow. Hence, the two went to remove the grass. After a period of rain, the older couple could plant crops. Old Master Cao and his wife’s hair had turned gray, and the latter had a hunched back. Even so, she continued to work hard for her family. Their granddaughter was twelve, while their grandson was only eight.
Although the boy could help with certain things, he could do nothing more.
No one was home when Su Binglan and Ji Xingye arrived. The two asked around and discovered that they had gone to work in the fields.
Su Binglan looked ahead and almost burst into tears when she saw the elderly couple and their grandchildren working hard. She felt uneasy and wanted to do whatever possible to help.
When the village chief heard of the princess and general’s arrival, he quickly ran to the fields and told Old Master Cao, “Hurry, the princess and general are here. They’re looking for you.”
The village chief was so scared when he heard the news that his legs trembled. At that moment, he grew pale and flustered, even though he had done nothing wrong.
On the contrary, the older couple was calm. They were just surprised. They feared nothing because they had a clear conscience. When they looked into the distance, they saw four people on the path.
One was a woman who resembled a guardian angel under the sunlight. The older couple was stunned. Old Master Cao said, “Thank you. If there’s nothing else, you can go back first.”
“All right. You mustn’t offend the princess and the general, okay?” Although the village chief wanted to curry favor with the princess and general, he did not know what to say.
Besides, Su Binglan and Ji Xingye did not ask him to stay, so he went home.
Old Master Cao and Old Madam Cao collected their hoes and approached the group with their grandchildren.
Su Binglan glanced at Su Yi and Su Chun, and they hurried over to help the older couple with their things. One of the two said, “Sir, let us help.”
Ads by Pubfuture “Oh, there’s no need. I can carry these. Greetings, General and Her Highness.”
Su Binglan hurriedly held the older couple up, saying, “There’s no need to bow. We have no ill intentions. We’re here on Prince Ruozhu’s behalf to check on you.
“Cao Yi sacrificed his life to protect the people, and Prince Ruozhu will always remember his achievements.’
Su Binglan could instantly tell that the older couple’s bodies were in terrible condition. She knew it was hard for them to continue working in the fields. It looked like years of hard labor had caused it.
The older couple became teary-eyed when they heard Su Binglan’s words.
They did not expect the prince, princess, and general to remember them. Old Madam Cao did not know what to say and could only cup her hands to express her gratitude.
Su Binglan held the older woman, saying, “Come, let’s go inside so you can sit down.”
When they arrived at the older couple’s home, Su Binglan said, “I’ll perform acupuncture treatment for you two first. 1 can see how in pain you are.”
The older couple was stunned. Old Master Cao and Old Madam Cao had worked all year round, and their backs were indeed sore. However, they had grown accustomed to enduring the pain.
Furthermore, they would have given up living if it were not for their grandchildren.
“Your Highness, you—n
Su Binglan politely interjected, ‘Don’t worry, Old Master Cao. I’m a disciple of the Legendary Medicine Valley. I have excellent medical skills and can cure your back and waist.”
Although the two were in disbelief, they knew the princess would never lie. Besides, the older couple had heard of the Legendary Niedicine Valley. When their daughter-in-law fell ill, they looked everywhere for doctors but to no avail.
Even though they had heard about the Legendary Medicine Valley, they did not know where it was. The two were excited when Su Binglan told them she was once a disciple there.@@novelbin@@
The older couple was cooperative with Su Binglan, so she quickly performed acupuncture on them. Soon after, Old Master Cao and his wife no longer felt pain in their backs. It was magical.
The older couple was amazed that the princess knew medicine and was even willing to treat commoners such as themselves.
Later, Su Binglan discussed Su Teng Village’s paper mill with them. She also told them that they could do some easy work there and that their grandchildren could attend Blue Mountain Academy for free..

Old Master Cao and his wife were shocked when Su Binglan told them everything. It took them a while to return to their senses. They were so excited that they could barely speak.
The older couple knew Su Binglan was honest because the general was with her. Still, they were surprised that the prince remembered the families of the soldiers who had sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.
Old Master Cao and his wife had received a pension, but they needed to raise their grandchildren all these years. Therefore, they barely had enough and could only rely on crops to survive.
Su Binglan had even healed their bodies and offered their grandchildren a free education. If their granddaughter wanted to study medicine, she could do it for free.
Of course, the older couple knew that not just anyone could become a doctor, let alone have the opportunity to study medicine. Therefore, the older couple were highly grateful to Su Binglan.
She also gave the family plenty of daily necessities as well as an invitation card and money for their travel expenses. After packing up, the family could set off for Su Teng Village.
The villagers soon heard the news. They were shocked and speechless. The princess had healed the older couple’s bodies and left them medicine. The villagers also heard that the family had packed up and would be going to work at Su Teng Village’s paper mill in a few days.
“Prince Ruozhu cares for them because their sons were once soldiers.’
“Prince Ruozhu is an excellent leader. We need not fear war in Dingzhou. We can trust the prince and his army to protect us.”
“l agree. I heard there are constant wars and bandits outside of Dingzhou. It sounds terrifying.”
“Dingzhou is the safest in that regard. Prince Ruozhu reduced everyone’s taxes and considered the commoners in every decision he made.”
Ads by Pubfuture “Being a soldier for Dingzhou has its benefits. At least Prince Ruozhu remembers everyone’s sacrifices. If we were in another province or a soldier in the Imperial Court’s army, we might not be so well off.”
“Shh, you can’t say that.”
“What are you afraid of? We’re in Dingzhou, not anywhere else.”
Everyone held Lan Ruozhu in high regard. The people of Dingzhou felt safe and at ease living under his care. They knew he would protect the commoners no matter what.
When Ji Xingye went back that night, he could not stop thinking about the meat buns Lan Ruozhu had sent him. The former reheated the meat buns and was shocked when he took a bite.
Ji Xingye muttered, “l didn’t know it tasted this good. The meat inside tastes different from the ones I usually eat. It’s so fragrant, too.”
Lan Ruozhu had sent him plenty of meat buns. Even so, he ate three in one go. Afterward, he rubbed his stomach and mumbled, “Ah, I’m so full after eating three full meals today.”@@novelbin@@
It was Ji Xingye’s first time realizing how charming food could be. In the past, he did not care how food tasted, especially during missions. He only cared whether or not he was full.
He finally understood what good food tasted like and even looked forward to what to eat the following day. Ji Xingye looked for an excuse to visit the deceased royal’s mansion to freeload.
However, he was busy accompanying Su Binglan during her time in the prefecture as she visited many families. He thought he should be able to eat the delicacies she made.
Ji Xingye was full of anticipation just thinking about it. According to Su Binglan, there were countless delicacies in Su Teng Village. The next time Lan Ruozhu would visit the village, Ji Xingye would want to follow.
Su Binglan stayed in the prefecture for a long while and was always busy visiting families. However, she did not know she had become famous throughout the prefecture.
Niany chatted about the princess who loved and cared for people as her own.
“The princess from the deceased royal’s mansion is beautiful. She resembles a guardian angel.”
Ads by Pubfuture “She has also visited and helped the soldiers’ families by giving them plenty of daily necessities. She also taught them many things and gave them job opportunities. These families can now earn excellent incomes.”
“Not only that, but Her Highness has also done many other things silently. She sent the soldiers and their families instant noodles, sausages, and other things during last year’s war.”
“l heard her food items are delicious.’
“Prince Ruozhu and Princess Binglan are so good to us.”
Meanwhile, Lan Ruozhu had already divided the soldiers in the camp into teams. He also gave them land and seeds to sow. The soldiers were dumbfounded as they looked at the potato and sweet potato seeds. After all, they had never seen such a thing before.
Most who joined Dingzhou’s army were from poor families and had helped their parents farm since childhood. Hence, they were very familiar with food crops.
Still, they had never even heard of potatoes and sweet potatoes. As the teams prepared to head to the fields, Su Binglan explained what potatoes and sweet potatoes were.
“You can use these to make many delicacies because you can stir-fry, boil, or roast them. What matters most is the high yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes.
“These seeds are highly adaptable to the soil and weather. They can grow even in barren land. One acre of land can probably produce a few thousand pounds of potatoes.”
Everyone was shocked when they heard the last part. They knew everyone would have more than enough food if they planted these seeds in Dingzhou’s wastelands.
The soldiers realized they could yield several thousand pounds of potatoes and sweet potatoes with the barren land they had. No matter what, they would listen to Su Binglan.
Everyone was in high spirits and prepared to work hard after Su Binglan’s encouraging words. Meanwhile, Lan Ruozhu had gotten someone to forge the farming tools his sister had designed.
Lan Ruozhu ordered several people to forge hundreds of farming tools overnight. He needed enough for everyone to use during farming. He even told the blacksmiths to continue forging for future purposes.
Su Binglan personally taught everyone how to plant the seeds. After teaching the first batch of teams, she would have them teach others. That way, she would not have to visit the fields so often to supervise everyone.
When she returned to the mansion at night, Lan Ruozhu looked at her with a sense of heartache, saying, “l told you not to go there personally. You should have taught one person and told them to teach everyone else,”
Su Binglan shook her head. “But I feel uneasy doing that. I’ll only feel confident enough if I teach them myself. Brother, when the soldiers harvest the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the summer, keep some as seeds.
“Then, you should distribute them to the commoners for summer planting.
When autumn arrives, they will have their own yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes..”

Su Binglan could not stop smiling as she imagined the people harvesting their yields. With more high-yield crops, they would never run out of food. She remembered people freezing or starving to death in other villages.
Although the villagers sowed their seeds in the spring, there would either be a drought or a flood. Hence, their crops would not grow at all, and the villagers could not harvest their food. Ultimately, the entire village would starve.
Meanwhile, if the villagers could not afford blankets, they would freeze to death during the frigid winter.
Although the villagers wanted to help others, they could barely survive on their own. Fortunately, most of the Su Teng villagers and people of Tenghe Town had relatively stable lives with Su Binglan’s help.
When merchants from other towns, villages, or cities visited Su Teng Village, they would get emotional. After all, not every place was as fortunate as Su Teng Village or Dingzhou during war times.
Lan Ruozhu could imagine how tough it might be for most people. If all of Dingzhou could produce high-yield crops, the people could store enough rations for harsher seasons.
He was most concerned about the people he governed. He smiled when he imagined the commoners enjoying a good harvest and living in peace. His heart burned with passion as he said, “You deserve all the credit, Sister.”
Su Binglan hurriedly waved him off, saying, “Don’t give me all the credit. Dingzhou has improved under your governance. I’m just adding a little embellishment.’
Although she knew her brother doted on her, she did not want any credit for merely helping him. She was just trying her best to do anything she could.
Su Binglan said, “l want to focus on making two kinds of food popular here.
Ads by Pubfuture I’ll also need people to work in my paper mill and printing factory. I hope you’ll allow me to use some of your men to work for me.”
Lan Ruozhu said thoughtfully, “Sister, what are you saying? 1 know you have good intentions.
“You might not know, but many more commoners have inquired about army recruitment since they heard about what you did for the soldiers’ families. I’ve never seen them so enthusiastic about enlisting in the army.
His expression relaxed as he spoke of this. After all, his sister had helped him solve many problems. Dingzhou was on the brink of prosperity, which was due to Su Binglan’s hard work.
Su Binglan smiled lightly and stuck out her tongue at Lan Ruozhu, saying,
“You look so anxious just now. I was just joking with you.”
“Oh, you—” Lan Ruozhu helplessly shook his head. Still, his eyes were full of affection as he looked at his sister.
After some thought, Su Binglan said, “Brother, we don’t just have Dingzhou now. We also have the land from here to the border province.
“We must continue our methods and encourage the soldiers to reclaim more wastelands for cultivation. I’ll look around and set up factories in various places. ”
Lan Ruozhu said, “Many soldiers care most about their families. If their families are well off, the soldiers will naturally become more proactive in whatever they do.”
Su Binglan nodded in agreement. “When I visited the soldiers’ families, I realized they had only one reason for joining the army. The soldiers only wanted the food served in the army.
“The soldiers would then send their earnings to their families to buy food. Most of the soldiers come from poor families, so they never had the things we gave them.”
Lan Ruozhu sighed in disappointment, “Most in the military are illiterate, too. Three of my generals grew up with us. Xingye is well-versed in cultural relics and went from a soldier to a general.
“The other two earned their promotions due to fighting on the battlefield. They’re excellent fighters who didn’t even know how to read maps. When I found out, I arranged for someone to teach them.”
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan raised a brow when she heard that. “Brother, do you want to teach the soldiers to read and write?”
Lan Ruozhu shook his head in resignation, saying, “That’s easier said than done. It’ll be challenging to set up classes for the soldiers. They prefer practicing their fighting skills instead of learning to read.
“Although some are young and eager to learn, their families can’t afford to teach them to read. It’s harder to learn such things when they grow up.” Su Binglan fell into deep thought when she heard her brother’s words.
Lan Ruozhu sighed again, “If only the soldiers started learning at a young age, like Xingye and the other two.”
Suddenly, Su Binglan had an idea. She became wide-eyed as she said,
“Brother, we can set up a military academy.”
Lan Ruozhu raised his brows, saying, “A military academy, huh?”
He had never heard of such a thing as nothing like it existed throughout Chu Country. Many of the country’s generals either came from a family of generals or had risen in ranks from the military.
Furthermore, the higher-ups appointed some as generals. Most generals had talent and could command squads.@@novelbin@@
“What’s a military academy? Is it to train generals?”
“That’s right. We can build a huge school to train military talents in martial arts and academics. Those who study at the academy can take on higher-ranked missions.
“You can also appoint them as officials so that they can earn promotions through practical experiences. We can use the academy to train our confidants and elites, too.’
Lan Ruozhu stood up and excitedly slammed the table. “That is an excellent idea, Sister! Why didn’t I think of that? We can use them as our trusted aides, too. However, those who want to study at the academy must have clean records.’
Su Binglan could not help but laugh at her brother’s enthusiasm. She was pleased that she could help him in any way.
“Sister, how will the academy operate, and what will the instructors do?”
There were academies in Chu Country and also the Yunhong Academy in the capital. However, the teachers there only taught subjects regarding the imperial exams.
Only the princes could learn archery in class. There were no academies that taught military knowledge..

Su Binglan knew her brother was intelligent. However, he did not reincarnate or transmigrate from the future nor live multiple lives, so this era’s environment influenced his thoughts.
That was why he could never consider such methods to train militants.
Nonetheless, Lan Ruozhu felt energized and excited.
Su Binglan said smilingly, “Brother, sit down. I’ll tell you about the academy.”
“Right, got it,” Lan Ruozhu said as he sat down. He knew what kind of influence his sister would have if they built the academy. With her around, the military would not have to worry about having insufficient talents.
He became excited just thinking about how many elites and trusted aides the academy could produce. Lan Ruozhu was non-confrontational but understood that he possessed significant power to protect his people.
‘l want my people to enjoy peaceful lives and not allow harm to befall them.
Even if someone attacked, I’m confident my men can defend us.’ Su Binglan looked at her brother and understood his thoughts. The two siblings seemed to have a tacit understanding of each other.
Su Binglan said, “We’ll divide the students into different classes according to their age. After completing their studies, we will divide them according to what they excel at.
“For example, if one shows potential to become a general, we’ll focus their studies on becoming one. If one is a potential military advisor, we’ll teach them whatever it takes to become one.
Ads by Pubfuture “There are also those who excel at observing weather, exploring a terrain, and search and rescue. However, we must also train talents who can command battles.
“It’ll be best if they’re young and start learning as soon as possible. After a few years of studying and honing their skills, they can go to the battlefields.
“Those who are older can have more actual combat training. Still, we must let everyone enroll willingly. The family members of the soldiers who have made contributions will have priority in enrolling.”
Su Binglan continued, “I’ll write a detailed plan for you later, and then you can accumulate and arrange soldiers accordingly. If there’s anything you want to add to it, feel free to do so.’
Lan Ruozhu said emotionally, “Well, you’ve already explained everything in detail. Where do you think is a suitable place to build this military academy?” Su Binglan looked at Lan Ruozhu!s excited expression and smiled, saying, “I’m sure you already know the answer to that, Brother.”
Lan Ruozhu chuckled. “As expected, I can’t hide anything from you.”
Although he already had an idea, he still wanted to run it by his sister. Lan Ruozhu was never stubborn and arrogant. Instead, he would always seek his sister’s opinion and advice.
He would also ask for his trusted subordinates’ opinions before making@@novelbin@@
radical decisions. That way, he could understand the situation better and make the most efficient choice.
“I’m considering building the academy in the prefecture,” Lan Ruozhu said, “It’s closer to the main army base, after all. It’ll be more convenient for me to delegate the students from the Institute of Humanity. We can supply the military camp with more workforce if need be.”
Su Binglan nodded as she had a similar thought. She said, “There’s a vast piece of land near the village around the prefecture. We can use it to build the academy without using up the farming land.
“There’s also plenty of land in other areas of Dingzhou, which are convenient for construction.’
Since Su Binglan had suggested it, Lan Ruozhu agreed and decided to build the academy there. Soon after, the siblings discussed the other details together.
Ads by Pubfuture Later that afternoon, the siblings disguised themselves and visited the prefecture. They planned to look around and consider the exact location to build the academy.
When the siblings arrived at a valley, Lan Ruozhu said, “Sister, this valley can be a natural training ground. It’s also hidden. There’s even a forest beside it where everyone can practice.”
Su Binglan added, “We can build some military obstacles for them to train with, such as walls, barbed wire courses, and so on.’
“What are those?” Lan Ruozhu had never heard his sister mention such things when she was Lan Ruobing. However, that was because she had yet to recover all her memories at that time.
“They’re training programs,” Su Binglan patiently explained, “I’ll write a detailed plan about them later.”
“All right, that sounds good,” Lan Ruozhu said, “We can build the things you mentioned first.
“If possible, I’d like you to teach the soldiers what you know, too. I know the soldiers will learn much more with you around. Still, you have a noble status, and I can’t bear to see you work so hard.”
Su Binglan did not mind it, saying, “I have plenty of things to do, but I can come and guide the soldiers when the academy is complete.”
Lan Ruozhu was just joking. He did not expect his sister to agree so readily. He was surprised and excited but did not know what to say. “Sister, you…”
Su Binglan said, “We’re family, aren’t we? You don’t have to be so polite. What you want is what I want, too.”
Lan Ruozhu remembered him and his sister talking about their dreams when they were children. The two wanted the people to have enough to eat and warm clothes to wear.
Since Chu Country faced internal strife, the siblings would work hard to create a peaceful and prosperous environment for the people. The twins understood each other’s thoughts just by looking at each other.
After talking about building a military academy, Su Binglan and Lan Ruozhu began to implement their ideas. After all, they had already divided and prepared the soldiers to take turns resting and farming.
Su Binglan also no longer needed to worry about farming because she had already taught the first batch of soldiers what to do. Instead, she only needed to make plans for the military academy.
Su Binglan even drew a blueprint of the academy according to the terrain. She said, “Brother, these will be the instructors’ offices. Since it’s a military school, it should be enclosed and private.
“No one can leave or enter without permission. Also, these are the dormitories that can accommodate six people per unit. I included an apartment for the instructors, and that is the training grounds with various obstacles and equipment. ”
Su Binglan made her blueprint highly detailed to make it convenient for the builders to follow..

Lan Ruozhu understood Su Binglan’s intentions when he looked at her blueprints. Her drawings included a top, bottom, and flat view of the military training grounds.
Lan Ruozhu could almost picture the military academy as he looked at the blueprints. “Sister, your drawings are so detailed.”
Su Binglan also included detailed explanations and measurements in her drawings so Lan Ruozhu could comprehend them without asking.
Immediately after, Lan Ruozhu ordered his people to gather a group of builders from the surrounding villages. He wanted to build the academy as soon as possible.
Later, Su Binglan and Lan Ruozhu then went to the site to check it out. They found that the villagers had already started building the academy. With so many people working together, Lan Ruozhu believed they could complete it
quickly.
Su Binglan thought of something and said, “Brother, we can build a similar academy at the edge of the border province if this one works well. It’ll also deter the nomads and bandits from causing trouble there.
“It was chaotic at the border province before you occupied it. The bandits at the border would fatten up their horses and sheep during the autumn harvest. Then, they would rob and kill whoever they encountered.
“The bandits robbed the grain and crops the villagers had worked so hard to grow. I was outraged when I heard about it.”
Lan Ruozhu knew about the situation at the border province. “l know, Sister. I was furious, too. Don’t worry. I’ve stationed troops there so no one can enter the border.’
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan believed in her brother. Some of the villagers who lived there got injured and even died. Many moved away just to survive. As a result, the border province became desolate.
Su Binglan suggested, “If the border becomes stable, we can open a college and some factories there. Then, those who left will have a reason to return.’
“There’s another way to get the villagers to return,” Lan Ruozhu added, “That is to give each of them two acres of land. I’ll exempt them from taxes for the first three years and even give everyone grain seeds.”
After planting the high-yield potatoes and sweet potatoes, Lan Ruozhu could distribute the seeds to the people in the border provinces. He believed that area would develop as well.
“Brother, people can’t see the border province’s value yet. Soon, they’ll know it can become an important economic hub. It’ll be a place where all countries can trade.’
Lan Ruozhu imagined it to be a prosperous place. Still, he had something more to discuss with Su Binglan. “Sister, 1 forgot to tell you that I want to build a caravan.’
“You mean a merchant caravan?”
“That’s right. I want caravans in various places. Although they look like caravans, they’re actually soldiers.”
Lan Ruozhu wanted caravans outside of his jurisdiction. That way, the soldiers in them could report any news or war.@@novelbin@@
“I’d like each caravan to accommodate a hundred men. The Shadow Guards we trained will be the leaders. We will then train a group as we did with the Shadow Guards.
“We’ll do the same everywhere. Although it looks like a standard caravan, those inside can carry out assassination missions if need be.”
Su Binglan raised a brow, thinking, ‘A hundred men in each location, huh? We should have ten thousand in total for each location. We’ll also need a large number of horses.’
Ads by Pubfuture “Brother, it’s a massive investment. Dingzhou doesn’t have enough silver.” Su Binglan removed a hundred thousand silver from her pocket dimension as she spoke and gave them to Lan Ruozhu, saying, “Take these for now.”
She had more than enough silver because her businesses earned very quickly. Additionally, she had shares in all of the Su family’s businesses. The wine sales were astounding, and the profit margin was substantial.
Lan Ruozhu did not expect his sister to give him so much silver. He waved and said, “No, Sister. Take these back. I don’t need them now since I still have the ones you left me last time.
“I was just wondering if you had any suggestions for the caravans. I also wanted to see if it’s even possible to build that many.”
Su Binglan responded, “1 need time to consider it. I have another idea. We can do transportation and logistics.”
“What do you mean, Sister?”
“It means to build logistic points in various places. If the commoners have something they want to send to their relatives, they can use our services. We’ll charge them a delivery fee and quickly send it to the corresponding area.
“For example, we’ll have a hub in Su Teng Village and Dingzhou. If a villager wants to send a parcel to the prefecture, they can give us the address and let us handle the rest. Merchants will want to use this service more than others.’ Lan Ruozhu was stunned. “We can do that? Will it even work?”
“It won’t cost much for people to send things. You’ll realize how big the profit margin is after this model works.” Su Binglan smiled mysteriously. Although she had just thought of it, she wanted to do it.
However, she had many other things to do, so it was better to write it down first and let her brother handle it.
Lan Ruozhu said, “All right. Write down your plans in detail, and I’ll arrange for the caravans to do it.’
Su Binglan nodded. “Brother, we’ll also have the upper hand in transporting necessities during a war.”
Lan Ruozhu was excited when he heard that. “That’s perfect!”
Su Binglan responded, “The men in the caravans will seem like ordinary delivery people, but they can instantly carry out crucial missions when needed.’
If that were the case, Lan Ruozhu’s army would have a higher chance of winning if an internal war broke out in Chu Country. He could even avoid a fierce battle with the enemy.
“Oh, we can also plan a river shipping route. It’s similar to the trade caravans. Besides, the canal is the most convenient place to buy and sell goods. However, each route will require a lot of people. How many do you think we’ll need if we use them as backup soldiers?”
Lan Ruozhu understood his sister’s intentions. He thought his sister was exceptionally talented and genuinely admired her..

Lan Ruozhu said, “It’ll be much easier to buy and sell everything that way. I could feel the benefits of river transportation when 1 was in Tenghe Town. Many merchants visit by boat quickly and conveniently.”
Su Binglan said, “Yeah, many merchants who work with my family choose to transport their goods by river. There’s a huge profit margin for it.”
If Lan Ruozhu could do the same, he would not need to worry about money problems, even if it was just from Dingzhou to Bianzhou. If he controlled Chu Country’s logistic routes, he could control the country’s lifeline.
By then, no one could compete with Lan Ruozhu. Perhaps there would no longer be a need to fight.
Lan Ruozhu knew he had to settle these things as soon as possible.
After staying in the prefecture for quite some time, Su Binglan bid farewell to her brother. After all, the farming season in Su Teng Village was about to start. She also planned to bring Su Yi and Su Chun back.
Although Lan Ruozhu was reluctant for his sister to leave, he knew she had responsibilities to attend to. He would support his sister in everything as long as she was happy.
“Come back and visit whenever you have the time. This place will always be your home. I’ll send you food and things when we finish building the delivery ports and establishing the routes.”
Su Binglan could feel her brother’s concern for her. She felt a warmth in her heart as she said, “l don’t lack anything, Brother. It’ll be more convenient for me to send you food instead.
“Su Teng Village has so many innovative things and plenty of food. If I come up with new delicacies, I won’t have to worry about them spoiling on the way.”
Su Binglan and Lan Ruozhu had planned to offer two delivery speeds for the services. One would be regular delivery, and the other would be express delivery.
Ads by Pubfuture Nonetheless, Lan Ruozhu became teary-eyed as he watched his sister leave in the carriage. Ji Xingye looked at the prince’s expression. The former did not want the princess to leave, either.
Ji Xingye enjoyed his time with Su Binglan, especially since he got to eat her delicious food. Of course, he knew Su Binglan was married and did not want Lan Ruozhu to misunderstand his intentions. Ji Xingye only wanted the princess’s food.
Lan Ruozhu only retracted his gaze after the carriage disappeared from his sight. He sighed and said, “She’s all grown up now. It’s fine as long as she’s happy.
“l must work hard to give her a peaceful environment to do whatever she wants. General Xingye, let’s head to my study to discuss our next move.”
Upon hearing the prince’s solemn words, Ji Xingye stood at attention and said, “Right away, Your Highness!”
Su Binglan, Su Yi, and Su Chun headed toward Su Teng Village. On the way, Su
Binglan put all the things her brother had given her into her pocket dimension. Then, the trio rode on their horses.
They could see hotpot restaurants and cured meat restaurants during their journey back. When they arrived at one of the cities, Su Binglan got off the horse and said, “Let’s have lunch here.’
The trio walked on the street and saw Su’s Hotpot, Su’s Cured Meats, and Su’ s Mala Hotpot.
Su Binglan could not help but laugh. She did not expect Su Wenwu to arrange for someone to open a mala hotpot restaurant in the south. Indeed, it was not a bad idea as these restaurants were popular.
When the trio previously traveled to the prefecture, they moved so fast that they did not notice these restaurants. Su Chun said, “Master, there are so many of Su Teng Village’s delicacies here.”
“Look, they have Family-Style Dumplings here, too.”
Su Binglan was stunned for a moment. She remembered this shop being a regular dumpling restaurant when she first visited.
Ads by Pubfuture ‘Did they change the restaurant’s name?’
Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an had eaten a plate of dumplings here last year. Su Binglan raised her brows when she remembered that moment. She missed her husband and wondered what he was doing at the moment.
‘He’d probably return as soon as he completes his tasks.’
“Let’s eat here. This restaurant makes pretty good dumplings.”
“All right, we’ll take your word for it, Master.” Su Chun was livelier, while Su
Yi was the quiet type. Still, they listened to their master and followed her into@@novelbin@@
the dumpling restaurant.
The restaurant had many tables because of how popular it was. Previously, it was a family of three who worked here. Now, Su Binglan saw two others helping.
“Give us a plate of dumplings, will you?”
“All right, coming right up, ma’am.”
Su Chun then noticed the variety of dumplings the restaurant served. “Hmm? Are there cucumber and egg dumplings here? I see carrot and egg dumplings, too.”
He had never seen such dumplings in Su Teng Village or Tenghe Town. Although the two places also served various dumplings, he had never seen the ones this restaurant served.
When the youth from before saw Su Binglan, he became excited, exclaiming, “Is that you, Miss Su?!”
Su Binglan looked at the young man and smiled. She did not think he would still recognize her.
Ads by Pubfuture “Welcome back, Miss Su!” The youth was so excited that he spoke incoherently, “Father, Mother…”
“Shh.” Su Binglan hurriedly stopped him. “There are still customers here.
Don’t cause a scene.”
The young man nodded, and the trio made their orders, “I’ll try that cucumber egg dumpling. ”
Su Yi nodded. “I’ll have that, too.’
The youth noted down their orders and hurried to the back to tell his parents about Su Binglan’s return. Soon after, the youth’s parents came out of the kitchen.
The family of three was highly grateful to Su Binglan. After all, she had cured the youth’s father’s heart disease. She was their benefactor, and they felt they could never thank her enough.
“It was nothing. There’s no need to thank me. I noticed your business is going quite well.” Su Binglan noticed many more tables in the shop. Still, it was spotless and tidy. She knew the family was capable of handling their restaurant well.
The youth’s mother said, “It’s all thanks to you, Miss Su. We wouldn’t have been able to handle all this without your help. We never dared to let my husband work too hard in the past.
“You helped my husband and even prescribed medicine to him. My husband has completely recovered now. Even the local doctor found it miraculous.”
The youth’s father said, “That’s why I dare to work harder now. Yang Hua’s uncle and my sister-in-law are helping us, too.”
Soon after, Yang Hua’s parents went to make the trio’s orders—however, the husband and wife to their son to entertain Su Binglan and her companions.
“Master, that young man is in extraordinary shape. He’s suitable for martial arts training,” Su Yi whispered while eating.
Su Binglan raised a brow, saying, “l heard your parents calling you Yang Hua.
That’s your name, right?”
“Yes, it is, Miss…Su.”
“You don’t have to be nervous. It was just a simple question. Do you have any younger siblings?” Su Binglan smiled.
“l have a two-year-old brother and a sister, but they’re in my hometown now.
Grandpa and Grandma help look after them.”
Su Binglan became curious and pondered momentarily..

Yang Hua felt great admiration and gratitude toward Su Binglan. He was also ecstatic to see his family’s benefactor again. She would kindly ask him questions, and he would answer them thoughtfully. @@novelbin@@
Yang Hua had heard about her legendary stories from the townsfolk. Also, the hotpot restaurants and cured meats restaurants here belonged to the Su family. He heard that Su Binglan had developed their delicacies.
Her businesses were exceptional, and each restaurant had many workers. Yang Hua discovered that their wages were excellent, and the shopkeeper treated his employees well.
However, other restaurants and shops treated their workers poorly because the owners were influential figures.
Yang Hua’s uncle had trouble selling his livestock, but Su’s Hotpot Restaurant would buy them at a fair price. They even hired a few people from his village to deliver the goods.
Yang Hua’s uncle planned to raise a few more pigs and sheep, as Su Wenwu had said that he would buy all the pigs and sheep he raised. Su Wenwu even hired people from the surrounding villages to work at his restaurants.
Yang Hua’s parents spoke highly of the Su family. Although the people the family hired were not the most capable, they needed the job most to support their families.
With this job, these families would not have to worry about food and clothes, especially during winter. Of course, Su Wenwu only hired those who were of good character. He would not hire those who were undeserving, either.
Yang Hua admired Su Binglan even more after hearing about these things. He only wanted to become a person of significance in the future.
Su Binglan could tell that he had a clear mind and a healthy body. She softly asked, “Are you interested in studying?”
Yang Hua was stunned. He had never considered such a thing because his family’s conditions were less than fortunate. He never dreamed he would one day attend school.
Ads by Pubfuture His family’s living conditions only improved after Su Binglan treated his father’s illness and helped them with the dumpling restaurant. Yang Hua only wanted to help his parents with their business and never intended to study.
After all, the cost of attending school was too high, especially regarding school supplies. Yang Hua did not want to burden his family, either. Although his family could now afford his school fees, he did not want to be selfish.
Even if his parents could afford to send someone to school, Yang Hua wanted to give that opportunity to his younger siblings.
Su Binglan noticed his silence and expression, understanding his hesitance. She asked, “If you could attend school for free and even contribute to the country, would you?”
“Of course I would!” Yang Hua’s eyes lit up.
Naturally, he would want to attend a private school for free instead of spending his parents’ money. After all, he wanted to make as many achievements as possible and become a helpful member of society like Su Binglan.
Su Binglan felt his spirit was commendable. She looked at Su Yi, thinking, ‘Su Yi is a man of sacrifice. Now, he specializes in helping to nurture various capable people. His judgment in individuals is extraordinary.’
Su Yi knew his master’s thoughts and nodded at her.
During the meal, Su Binglan would occasionally talk to Yang Hua, “Your siblings are at a mischievous age, aren’t they?”
Yang Hua’s expression softened when she asked about his siblings. “My younger siblings are obedient. They won’t cry or make a fuss if they have toys to play with.
“My brother is quiet, and my sister likes when I carry her around…” Yang Hua had endless things to say regarding his siblings. He remembered every detail. Those who liked their younger siblings had a soft side and were not selfish.
A responsible person with love in their heart was suitable to become a commander. Yang Hua was honest and answered whatever Su Binglan asked.
After finishing her meal, Su Binglan took out an admission invitation and detailed information. She then stamped and signed the back before handing them to Yang Hua.
Ads by Pubfuture She said, “The prefecture will set up a military academy called the Fiery Blue Academy. It specializes in training soldiers. There will be no fees when you enroll. They will offer bonuses for outstanding performance, too. If you decide to go, take these and show it to them. Someone will receive you.”
Yang Hua was astounded.
Su Binglan added smilingly, “Carefully consider it. I have high hopes for you, regardless of what choice you make.”
Her words made Yang Hua’s heart surge and his blood boil. Of course, he wanted to attend Fiery Blue Academy. He knew it was not a place that he could go whenever he wanted. However, he wanted to discuss it with his parents first.
Su Binglan understood Yang Hua’s thoughts without needing him to say anything. She smiled and said, “Discuss it with your parents and family. You’ll feel better with your family’s support.”
Yang Hua nodded vigorously and hurried to the kitchen to tell his parents about the incredible opportunity he had just received.
After the meal, Su Binglan, Su Yi, and Su Chun left. Although Yang Hua’s parents offered them a free meal, Su Binglan left the money for the food on the table.
Yang Hua’s parents were astounded when he showed them the admission invitation. His mother asked, “You said Mss Su gave this to you?”
“Yes, Mother. She said the academy is free of charge and called it the Fiery Blue Academy.” Yang Hua then told his parents everything Su Binglan said in detail.
Mrs. Yangs eyes reddened as she said, “We’ve met a noble person in Miss Su. Rumor has it she’s a princess. Prince Ruozhu must be the one running the academy.
“Of course, we’ll let you go, not to mention all the benefits of attending such an academy. Moreover, it’s Miss Su who recommended you personally.”
Mr. Yang added, “You must go. I’ll ask around for more information about the prefecture. Some of our customers are from there. As soon as the academy is ready, pack your things and go.”
“But what about the restaurant?” Although Yang Hua wanted to go, he worried about his parents.
“Your uncle and his wife can help us handle the restaurant. Besides, we’ll be proud of your success. You’ll bring honor to us and your ancestors,” Mr. Yang said.
Mrs. Yang added, “We must always remember Miss Su’s kindness. You must study hard to repay the prince and princess.”
The family was ecstatic and could not stop looking at the admission invitation, wanting to confirm that they were not hallucinating..

It was not easy for ordinary families to provide for their children’s education. In other private schools, the parents would send things to the teachers during the New Year Holidays.
Besides that, daily expenses for school supplies were considerable. The pressure would be significant for ordinary folk. Otherwise, poor students could not afford to study for Chu Country’s Imperial Exams.
However, prestigious families could invite famous scholars to give lectures at these schools. The former also had more learning resources than the poor. Nir. and Mrs. Yang attached great importance to education. Still, they could not afford it last time. After Su Binglan’s help, their conditions improved, and Yang Hua was already thirteen years old.
He would not learn as quickly as a child, even if we attended school. Hence, it was a little more challenging for him to become a scholar.
Furthermore, the wars were so chaotic that Mr. and Mrs. Yang did not want their son to take the Imperial Exams and pledge loyalty to the emperor.
If the emperor had not suppressed Prince Ruozhu and Princess Ruobing, perhaps the princess would not have died, and the prince would not have fallen severely ill.
Of course, the commoners knew about these things. The emperor and the crown prince were terrible people who even harmed those loyal to them.
Meanwhile, Fiery Blue Academy differed. Since Prince Ruozhu and Princess Binglan ran it, they would nurture their people better. Moreover, the admission was free, and the location was private.
Mr. and Mrs. Yang were ecstatic and wholeheartedly supported Yang Hua’s decision to attend the academy. Mr. Yang seemed to have thought of something and said, “If you can learn something, you can be more helpful.
“From what Miss Su said, the academy’s construction is underway. They could complete it in more than a month if you’re lucky. You don’t have to help in the shop this month. You should get a head start on your reading.”
Mrs. Yang nodded. “Yeah, you should read more books to make it easier for you to catch up with the other students.”
Mr. Yang added, “You should learn how to hunt from one of our neighbors. I’ll tell him to teach you some martial arts, too.”
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan, Su Yi, and Su Chun spent a few days on the road before reaching Su Teng Village. They could feel the weather had become warmer. Su Binglan said, “It feels like spring.”
The sun was warm, and the wind carried its warmth throughout the village. The cold winter wind was no more. Moreover, the warm wind blew on the trio’s faces, making them feel relaxed.
Although it would be slightly chilly in the morning and evening, it was not as frigid as the winter wind.
Since spring arrived, the trees and flowers began to bloom again. The trees and grass by the roadsides looked greener than ever, giving a sense of prosperity.
One could see many villagers working in the fields from afar. Some were weeding, while others watered their plants.
Su Binglan knew everyone would be planting crops after the first spring rain. After all, the crops would grow very well after the rain. It was not ideal for the villagers to carry buckets of water from the river for their crops.
Su Binglan looked into the distance and said, “Let’s go. I wonder what everyone in the village is doing right now. My granduncle should have informed everyone about the potato and sweet potato seeds by now.”
‘l must tell everyone how to sow the seeds personally,’ with that in mind, Su Binglan hurried into the village.
She seemed much more relaxed after seeing the familiar sight and people. She could not help but smile and be grateful to be home. The village resembled Su Binglan’s heart.
From the west side, she noticed that the construction teams had completed the buildings she needed on the commercial street. The place looked beautiful with the new factories, workshops, business districts, shopping malls, theaters, and so on.
The commercial street resembled a bustling metropolis of modern times. The village now looked livelier than the capital.
The construction team had built everything according to Su Binglan’s arrangements. The whole area looked neatly arranged from the outside. Moreover, the green bricks and tiles looked gorgeous.
Su Chun praised inwardly, ‘Only Master is able to design such a majestic place.’
The trio dismounted their horses and walked as they observed the changes in the village, Su Chun and Su Yi were curious, wondering what the shop owners would do in a place like this.
Su Yi asked, “Master, this place will be prosperous with all these shops.”

Su Binglan combined modern architectural styles with ancient styles to form the shopping mall and food street.
She pointed and said, “That’s the grand theater. The crew can perform plays there. The new plays are a few coppers per person.”
The theater could accommodate many people. The more people showed up to watch the plays, the more the theater would earn. However, the production team would perform several free plays during festivals.
It would allow the villagers to feel the festival’s liveliness. Since there were only a few entertainment programs in this era, Su Binglan wanted to arrange some dramas for the people to watch.
However, her primary purpose for rehearsing these dramas was for her husband.
The trio continued walking, and Su Binglan noticed the paper mill. It was much larger compared to the embroidery shop. When she looked at the doorway, she saw her parents and greeted them, “Father, Niother, I’m back!”
The older couple quickly turned around when they heard the familiar voice. The two exclaimed in unison, “Binglan, you’re finally back!”
Su Fengmao added, “We missed you so much! I wasn’t used to you not being home.’
The older couple stood before Su Binglan and happily smiled at her. Shen Qiuhua asked, “Did you lose weight? Did you have a hard time during your travels? Did you eat and sleep well?”
Su Binglan felt a warmth in her heart when she heard her parents’ warm and caring words. She replied, “Don’t worry. I ate and slept very well.”
Shen Qiuhua sighed in relief. “Thank goodness. Your father and I have prepared everything you need for the paper mill. We were just waiting for you to return before we proceed further.”
The older couple felt energized and ready to follow their daughter’s lead. They were rearing to go, wanting to make high-quality yet affordable paper.
Su Binglan smiled, saying, “Since you’ve prepared everything, we’ll start operations once everyone’s here.” @@novelbin@@
Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao nodded in agreement. They would support their daughter in everything she wanted to do.
Su Binglan said, “There’s still plenty of work to do around the village. Has
Granduncle told the villagers about the potato and sweet potato seeds?”
Shen Qiuhua responded, “He gathered everyone for a meeting recently and told them everything. The villagers were excited to buy the seeds from him. He hasn’t distributed the seeds yet because he wants to discuss the details with you first..”
