Lan Ruozhu would be excited whenever he could do something for the people and the country. When he became the emperor, he spent the night reviewing memorials and looking at the situation in various parts of the country.

He even had a headache because the situation was worse than he had imagined.

Only Dingzhou to the border prefecture did well. In other places, countless commoners lost their lives or were severely injured by the princes of various provinces. The commoners did not even have enough to eat.

Therefore, Lan Ruozhu immediately issued an order to reduce taxes, encourage farming and land reclamation, and even distribute seeds to everyone. He also encouraged the people to have more children.

If there were more children, the county government would allocate more land and seeds to the families. Lan Ruozhu wanted to increase Chu Country’s population. After all, there was more land than people in ancient times.

He believed he could make the country prosper as long as he worked hard. “Sister, opening more academies will be beneficial. With more knowledge, people could distinguish right from wrong.

“If people are more knowledgeable, they can have better jobs, buy healthier food, and wear warm clothes during winter. The students might even invent things, just like the cement you mentioned.”

Lan Ruozhu was in awe of the cement as it would solve many problems. He could reinforce the city walls with it and rebuild the roads in Dingzhou. He could even make them spacious and beautiful. Then, the ground would not be muddy when it rained or snowed.

After they built the cement roads, the citizens ran to the streets to check it out. Everyone was curious.

“You’re right, Brother. The more knowledge everyone gains, the more talented people will emerge from all walks of life. I suggest we open an agricultural research department to recruit some talent. We’ll train them to specialize in agricultural farming.

Ads by Pubfuture “We can divide these talents into small teams. They can then visit various places to teach the people how to grow crops more efficiently every year during spring plowing.”

There were no such things as imports in this era. The food grown by each country was self-sufficient. If they wanted to get food from other countries,

others would be in control of them.

It might also expose the lack of food in a country, which would quickly lead to war. Therefore, every country on this continent attached great importance to agriculture.

Still, the Imperial Court did not take any effective measures despite the importance of agriculture. For example, how to encourage farming, land reclamation, and how to improve crops.

Everyone used old-fashioned methods of growing food without improvements. However, the people cultivated the land around Dingzhou and Teng County with newer methods that Su Binglan had taught them.

She had arranged for her people to teach everyone how to farm and apply fertilizer more efficiently. She had also distributed high-yield seeds to everyone.

Most importantly, Lan Ruozhu had set up a factory in the prefecture to make all the farming tools Su Binglan had designed. He even distributed them to the farmers, which significantly reduced the farmers’ labor.

Everyone praised their new farming tools. The villagers valued their cows because they could plow the land. Without cows, they would have to plow the land manually, which was exhausting.

Sometimes, the villagers would go home and lie down immediately after working for only half a day. Their backs would ache so much that they could not move.

They no longer suffered that much after using Su Binglan’s newly designed farming tools. Even if the villagers did not have cows, her farming tools still helped them.

Lan Ruozhu considered his sister’s words. He knew establishing the Ministry of Agriculture would be beneficial to Chu Country’s farming, significantly if a genius appeared.

If someone could develop high-yield seeds, it would be an outstanding achievement. Ultimately, it would increase the yield on one acre of land.

Ads by Pubfuture “I’ll do as you say, Sister,” Lan Ruozhu said, “I’ll set up a new department in the Imperial Court and call it the Ministry of Agriculture.”

“It doesn’t have to be similar to the Ministry of Works and Personnel. You can establish it separately and manage it yourself. Agriculture is the foundation, so you should still control it.

“The officials in the Imperial Court have their rules and systems. They’re separate entities. The person in charge of the agricultural research department only needs to report to you.

“They must focus on their research and not care about official matters. They don’t even have to participate.” Su Binglan felt those who specialized in research were not good at dealing with interpersonal government relationships.

“You’re right.” Lan Ruozhu nodded. “We still need to nurture more talents.”

He realized Su Binglan had many things on her mind but did not have any agricultural talents yet. Although he knew his sister was an all-rounded talent, he did not want her to do everything.

Since Lan Ruozhu only had one sibling, he would treat her like a treasure. He even hoped Su Binglan could enjoy the life of a princess. Nonetheless, she was beyond her years, and others would not understand her plans.

Lan Ruozhu enjoyed discussing things with his sister because she could teach him a lot, which benefitted him greatly. He also knew about the rumor about Su Binglan being a guardian angel who had descended from the heavens to save the people.

Sometimes, he genuinely believed those rumors. Otherwise, Su Binglan would not be so knowledgeable. Everything she did and every idea she proposed was for the people and country’s benefit.

Lan Ruozhu could imagine Chu Country being the most prosperous country on this continent when the holidays arrived.

Su Binglan realized Lan Ruozhu seemed somewhat distracted, so she waved a hand before his face. “Brother? Brother, are you with me?”@@novelbin@@

Lan Ruozhu returned to his senses and asked, “Huh? What was that?”

Su Binglan silently checked her brother’s wrist pulse. After confirming that he was okay, she sighed in relief. “You seemed a little distracted just now. You must be tired.’

“No, I feel healthy and energetic.” Lan Ruozhu smiled.

Su Binglan knew it was the effect of the spiritual spring water. She had added it to her brother’s water tank to strengthen his body.

“By the way, Brother, you said we should train more talents, right? We can train a lot more by setting up free schools in various places..”

Lan Ruozhu nodded, saying, “You’re right. More children will have an opportunity to study if we open more schools. The geniuses will naturally stand out.

“They can then show off their abilities once chosen by the Imperial Court. The previous Imperial Exams were restricted.”

If many poor children could not afford to study, less would be able to participate in the Imperial Exams. However, more children would stand out once the siblings opened free education institutes.

Even if some were not academically gifted, they would possess solid hands-on capabilities. Such students could also contribute to the country’s well-being.

Even if there were students who did not excel academically or practically, they would still learn to distinguish right from wrong. All of that would increase Chu Country’s stability.

“With education, these children will grow to be capable adults who can earn a decent living for their families. It would inadvertently lessen thefts and riots.”

Su Binglan nodded. “We’ll establish a new system. It’ll allow some people to change from bad to good citizens.”

After some thought, Lan Ruozhu said, “We must implement new laws to restrain the remaining bandits. We’ll record these families’ misdeeds and restrict their children from attending our free education institutes.

“Some of these bandits are inhumane. They think they can get away with killing others. They’ll start reconsidering their actions once they affect their loved ones.’

Su Binglan agreed, “You’re right, Brother. Fewer people will be causing trouble soon enough. The citizens will also feel safer walking on the streets.” “We have a lot to do,” Lan Ruozhu said thoughtfully.

The environment in various provinces was more complicated than he had imagined because of the kings’ rebellion. Many good citizens had no choice but to become thieves. Lan Ruozhu wanted them to return to being good citizens.

Ads by Pubfuture The two discussed the countrys betterment while Luo Jin’an was busy in the military camp. The people of the Wei Manor went to the market as usual that day.

“Old Madam Lin,” a stall owner asked, “What did you eat at the Wei Manor last night? It smelled excellent.”

“Yeah, the air was so fragrant. I got hungry just by smelling the food. I’m curious as to what you ate.”

“l could hear how lively it was when 1 passed by. What happened at the Wei Manor last night?”

Everyone was curious about the food as the fragrance whetted everyone’s appetite. Since these people lived near the manor, they could smell the food from their houses.

The houses on this street were empty, and no one could sell them because the manor was in the middle of the street. When the manor was sealed, the people abandoned the street.

The commoners feared being arrested if they were too close to the manor. Of course, some small vendors would rent the houses to live in the vicinity because it was cheaper.

They would then push their carts to the market to sell things during the day. Otherwise, every inch of land in the capital was costly. They would not even have a place to live.

No one expected the street near the manor to regain its liveliness after the manor’s unsealing and the Wei family’s vindication.

Old Madam Lin spoke proudly, “Master Jin’an’s wife taught us how to make dumplings. She even made spicy crabs, spicy prawns, braised pork, and many other dishes. Everything she made was delicious.

“Master Jin’an’s wife is wonderful. She even told us to eat together. Oh, those dishes she made aren’t even available elsewhere. She also gave us fruit juice and told us to drink as much as we wanted. Each juice had a different flavor.”

The old woman smacked her lips as she reminisced about last night’s food and drinks. She had also eaten a whole plate of dumplings, even though her appetite had deteriorated with age.

Strangely, Old Madam Lin did not feel uncomfortable even after overeating. Instead, she felt more energetic the following day.

Typically, the younger housekeepers would do the grocery shopping. However, Old Madam Lin used to be responsible for that. She was worried about letting them do the shopping because they might not know how to pick the freshest ingredients.

Ads by Pubfuture Everyone greeted her politely whenever she walked on the streets because they knew she was a member of the Wei Manor. Old Madam Lin smiled proudly.

“Old Madam Lin, you’re referring to the princess, right?”

“Of course, Princess Binglan is Duke Jin’an’s wife.”@@novelbin@@

“Last night, Her Highness told us not to call Master Jin’an Great General or

Duke Jin’an. She told us to call him Master Jin’an instead.”

Still, they had to address Luo Jin’an as Duke Jin’an or General Wei in public because the emperor had given him those titles.

The small business owners were emotional. They never expected Lan Ruozhu and Su Binglan to vindicate the Wei family, whom others had accused of treason.

The family had risen to a new height in such a short period. The unrestrained youth, Luo Jin’an, had become the head of the family and even received such a title. Moreover, he was the Prince Consort.

“Old Madam Lin, is the food you ate available elsewhere?”

The old woman chuckled. “Her Highness is the only one who knows how to make the spicy crabs and prawns. They aren’t available elsewhere because of

how strange the proteins are.

“You won’t know how to eat them even if you manage to get some. Her Highness taught us how to eat them.”

Old Madam Lin could not stop thinking about the two dishes as they tasted superb. Everyone listening was drooling at that moment.

“Old Madam Lin, is the manor hiring? I’d like to work there.”

The old woman smiled and said, “l know you want to work there because of the food. I’m sorry, but we have enough people now. Still, I have good news for you. Her Highness says she’ll open a shop soon.”

“What kind of shop? One that’ll sell those spicy crabs and prawns dish you mentioned?”

Old Madam Lin nodded. “That’s right. You’ll know how good the food tastes once Her Highness opens the restaurant.” “We simply must try those dishes. 1 wonder when it’ll open.”

“That’s up to Her Highness to decide..”

Everyone was excited when they heard the news.

“Old Madam Lin, you must tell everyone once the shop opens. We can’t wait to try those dishes.”

Many of them lived nearby and had been thinking about the food since last

Old Madam Lin understood this, saying, “Don’t worry. I’ll tell you as soon as I know about it. Since you’re selling vegetables, you should make sure they’re fresh.’

“We’ll give you a discount, Old Madam Lin.”

The old woman waved, saying, “Her Highness knows it’s hard for you to do business. You don’t have to give us a discount. We’ll buy your products as usual, but they must be fresh.”

Everyone felt warm inside when they heard that. The princess was understanding of them, after all. It was no wonder the people in the prefecture liked Su Binglan so much.

She genuinely cared for the people and did not treat them as mere commoners. The people remembered how vicious Princess Chu Liuwu was. If someone even bumped into her horse carriage by accident, she would tell her men to whip them.

She even called the commoners ants and did not care about their lives. However, Chu Liuwu was a sinner who had died during the war. Everyone was relieved when they heard about it. They even recalled seeing her public execution.

“Princess Binglan is the best.”

“You have no idea how much Her Highness has done for the people.”

“l know. Princess Binglan and Emperor Ruozhu used to live in Dingzhou and even developed such a remote place into a prosperous one. Everyone can grow high-yield crops and work in factories. They can also receive monthly wages and bonuses.’

Ads by Pubfuture “The people there now live relaxed lives. Their children can even attend school and buy cheaper paper.”

“There are also shops that sell school supplies, and their paper comes from a mill in Dingzhou. I heard Her Highness was the one who developed the paper.”

“Don’t forget about the cement. Did you see the roads? Her Highness entrusted someone to research and develop the cement.”

Initially, everyone was curious as to how the cement would hold up. After some rain, the ground was not muddy. People then realized it was not just for show, but it was pretty practical.

Whenever it rained or snowed in the past, people’s carts would have trouble navigating the streets. The roads would get muddy and slippery, so it was unsafe to push carts. The carts would flip over if one were not careful.

“Don’t forget about the books. I know Her Highness has opened many factories, too.’

“My child attends Fiery Blue Academy. We went to check it out once and found out how good the dorms are.”

“Your child attends Fiery Blue Academy? Not just anyone can do that.”

“That’s the academy Prince Ruozhu—no, Emperor Ruozhu runs.”

Everyone discussed these things excitedly while Old Madam Lin smiled. Su Binglan had mentioned opening a factory in the capital during last night’s dinner.

She would also open free education institutes, meaning people’s children could study without spending much money.

Old Madam Lin’s grandson was old enough to attend school. When the time came, she would send him to one.

Meanwhile, Su Binglan had a lengthy conversation with Lan Rouzhu in the palace. It was already noon when Lan Ruozhu asked her to stay for lunch. “You can stay and eat here, Sister.”

Su Binglan asked with a smile, “What would you like to eat?”

Lan Ruozhu was embarrassed. “Damn it, I can’t hide anything from you. I really want to eat your cooking. I heard about the fragrance at the Wei Manor last night. What did you cook that made everyone crave it so much?”

Ads by Pubfuture “l made spicy crabs and prawns.”

“Isn’t that the seafood you mentioned last time?” Lan Ruozhu had heard his sister talking about such things last time. He did not expect her to find crabs and prawns so quickly.

“Indeed, it was seafood, but the cooking method was different. I plan to open a few shops here and use two to sell skewers and spicy prawns. I think everyone will like them.”

Many wealthy families lived in the capital, so they would be thrilled to eat such unique food. Su Binglan believed these shops would do exceedingly well.

“Did Wenwu find these seafood in the south?”

“Yeah, he did.” Su Binglan nodded. “Wenwu has been in charge of the market there since he went there with Feiran. I sent a drawing of crabs and crayfish to Wenwu using the courier.

“Still, I didn’t expect him to find those ingredients so quickly. He sent over plenty of ingredients so 1 can make some for you.”

“I’m going to have a good lunch today,” Lan Ruozhu happily said.

Su Binglan looked outside, saying, “Indeed, it’s time for lunch. I’ll use the palace kitchen to cook.”

Lan Ruozhu waved and said, “No need. There’s a separate kitchen beside my small courtyard. I’ll get someone to open up the spare kitchen to make it more convenient for you to eat here.”@@novelbin@@

Su Binglan did not expect her brother to consider such a thing. “Okay then, I’ll cook in the small kitchen so no one will disturb me.’

She would teach the housekeepers in the palace how to cook these two dishes but now was not the time. She could cook for Lan Ruozhu in different ways.

Lan Ruozhu followed her into the small kitchen and said, “Sister, can we set up a gourmet class in schools?”

Su Binglan became wide-eyed. “That’s a great idea, Brother. I never thought of that. It’ll be good if everyone can learn some culinary skills and open shops to sell desserts and snacks.’

She felt the capital’s market was vast. The students could earn a decent living if they worked hard. Moreover, Lan Ruozhu did not restrict people from setting up stalls and selling things. It was fine as long as they set up stalls within the designated areas of the streets.

“By the way, Brother, I’d like to open a big supermarket in the center to make buying groceries more convenient for everyone.”

“What’s a supermarket?” Lan Ruozhu had never heard of such a term. “Is it like a big market?”

“More or less, yeah. It’s a grocery store that sells nearly everything. If anyone needs daily necessities, they can visit the supermarket and get whatever they need.

“Still, it isn’t as easy as opening a regular shop. We must supply various goods to ensure there’s sufficient supply. That includes vegetables, fruits, bedding, soap, cooked food, and so on..”

Su Binglan liked telling Lan Ruozhu her thoughts.

He nodded, saying, “Yeah, it’s a little complicated for people to get groceries now since they have to go to different places. Why don’t I arrange for someone to help you with the supermarket?”

Since it was complicated, it would take a lot of effort. Lan Ruozhu did not want his sister to tire herself out, either.

“It’s okay. You don’t have to worry about this, Brother. Once we open the supermarket, it’ll create plenty of job opportunities for the people. They don’t need special skills to sell things there.” Su Binglan felt she should help as many people as possible.

Lan Ruozhu knew it was pointless to persuade his sister when she had decided on something.

After some thought, he said, “Do you need a vast plot of land? I’ve sealed off Chu Liuwu and the Han family’s mansions. We can tear them down and rebuild them into a supermarket. They happen to be at the center of the capital, too.”

Su Binglan raised her brow.

Chu Liuwu chose the center of the capital when she built her manor. It was also close to the Han family’s residence. Initially, many houses that belonged to high-ranking officials and nobles were there. There were also a few smaller houses that belonged to ordinary citizens.@@novelbin@@

Since Chu Liuwu wanted to use the land to build her manor, she forced these families to leave and tore down their houses. She simply wanted to be closer to the Han family and interact with Han Yueting more often.

Ads by Pubfuture If Lan Ruozhu tore down the Han family’s residence and Chu Liuwu’s manor, Su Binglan could use the space to build her supermarket. After all, it would be in the center of the capital, which would make it convenient for the citizens. Su Binglan did not argue. Instead, she quickly agreed. “Thank you, Brother.”

Lan Ruozhu waved and smiled. “You don’t have to be so polite to me. I’ll support everything you want to do. If you need anything else, just tell me.”

He became the emperor to support his sister and let her do as she pleased. Moreover, Su Binglan loved the people and did more for them than Lan Ruozhu could. Still, the latter hoped to help his sister do more.

“Since Liuwu’s manor and the Han family’s residence are massive, I can build the supermarket on one-fifth of the land.”

In that era, royals and prominent families would occupy a vast piece of land to build their houses or manors. Su Binglan wanted to make proper plans to use the two plots of land as efficiently as possible.

Moreover, the location was excellent as it was at the center of the capital, where many people were. It would be even livelier there when Su Binglan finished building the supermarket.

She intended to build a commercial street that included a food street and theater, much like the one in Su Teng Village’s development site. Then, people would have an easier time getting groceries, and they could even watch the plays in the theater.

Of course, the tickets in the capital’s Grand Theater would be slightly more expensive. Still, the supermarket would not take up the two large plots of land. Su Binglan also planned to use the rest to build an office and an inn.

The office building would be similar to that of a modern office. The newspaper office staff were working in a temporary area. Su Binglan had transformed a house into an office and kept it relatively straightforward.

She wanted to build a bright and spacious place for the newspaper office. After all, it would improve the staff’s mood to work in a more comfortable office.

Su Binglan would also reserve a space to build a courier office. Some authors would even have their own offices while others could rent some office buildings. As for the inn, she planned to imitate a modern-era five-star restaurant.

Even so, it could not be too modern. Su Binglan would have to combine some ancient architectural stylings, or it would not match the surrounding buildings. Although the outside would appear a little old-school, the interior would resemble the modern-era layout.

‘I’ll give the guests soft mattresses and pillows. They’ll want to come back after staying at the inn for a night.’

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan’s eyes lit up when she thought of it. After coming to the capital, she realized how much more she needed to do for the people. She was excited and believed the capital would look very different.

There were also plenty of wastelands on the edge of the capital that she also planned to use. She could give some to the farmers and build more schools and residential areas on the rest.

Every inch of land in the capital was worth gold. Su Binglan simply needed to develop the land. However, the villagers also needed to reclaim the wastelands to grow crops.

When the capital developed and prospered, many more people would want to move there. The politics had also improved, and the citizens could settle down. With more children, the population would increase.

“Brother, that place is just right to open a bank.”

Lan Ruozhu sighed. He knew his sister always thought about him whenever she made big plans.

The two siblings chatted as Su Binglan made lunch for Lan Ruozhu. He could not stop praising the spicy crab and prawns his sister made. “These are too delicious, Sister. They’re better than anything I’ve ever eaten.”

The citizens would be shocked and delighted if they saw their new emperor’s charming side. Since Su Binglan was the only one around at that moment, Lan Ruozhu felt more relaxed and ate as much as he wanted.

Su Binglan was pleased to see her brother enjoying her food. “Since you like them so much, I’ll make more for you later.”

Lan Ruozhu felt warm inside. “You’re so good to me, Sister.”

After lunch, Su Binglan left the palace to visit Chu Liuwu’s empty manor and the Han family’s residence. She realized how much space these two buildings occupied.

She could imagine what it looked like after tearing them down and rebuilding everything according to her design. Su Binglan smiled as she thought about it.

Since Lan Ruozhu had become the emperor, Su Binglan hoped the capital would become prosperous. Therefore, she had to complete the supporting facilities. That way, more talented and capable people would be willing to live and work in the capital.

After taking a look around, Su Binglan prepared to hire a construction team in the capital to tear down the two buildings.

Su Chun stood beside Su Binglan, saying, “Master, there isn’t a construction team in the capital, so you might need to build one like you did in Su Teng Village..”

Su Binglan did not know any contractors in the capital. After some thought, she said, “Publish a recruitment notice in tomorrow’s newspaper. I’ll form a construction team to work for me.’

“Right away, Master.”

After strolling the streets for a while, Su Binglan said, “Let’s go to the theater to watch the General’s Order.’

Su Chun perked up. “That’s great, Master! I thought you forgot.”

“l might forget other things, but not that. Although 1 wrote the script, I’ve yet to watch the play.” Su Binglan had wanted to see the effects of the play.

Although she knew the effect was good, she still wanted to watch for herself. Su Binglan also needed inspiration for her next play.

When the duo arrived at the theater, the staff was excited to see Su Binglan. They almost knelt before her, but she had previously instructed them not to do that whenever she came out in casual clothes. She did not want them to draw attention to her.

Therefore, the staff suppressed their excitement and brought Su Binglan to the high-class private room on the second floor. From there, she and Su Chun could see the performance better. There was also food there, so they could eat while watching.

Ads by Pubfuture As the duo headed to the second floor, Su Binglan saw Chen Chengkang and Chen Zhuzhu on the viewing platform. The uncle and niece were focused on the stage and did not notice anyone else.

However, the staff member was attentive as he followed Su Binglan’s line of sight and hurriedly explained, “Your Highness, that’s Duke of Chen’s younger brother, and the other one is Young Master Chengkangs niece.

“They come here often. Everyone says Young Master Chengkang likes Miss Xiaoxun. He treats her very well, and everyone can see how sincere he is. He also respects Miss Xaoxun very much and even sent people to protect her in secret. ”

Su Binglan smiled and nodded. After all, she knew about these things. If Chen Chengkang were a bad person, she would have told her guards to chase him out.

Although this was just a theater, she had people guarding the area. If anyone dared to cause trouble here, the guards would arrest them immediately. Those with good senses knew Su Binglan ran the theater. Those who visited the theater to watch the plays had to abide by the rules.

After entering the private room, Su Binglan waved and let the staff return to his post. She and Su Chun then sat at a table to watch the show.@@novelbin@@

The General’s Order play had several scenes, and each plot was brief. Otherwise, the story would be too lengthy. The first scene was of a ten-year-old youth practicing his swordsmanship in a courtyard.

Immediately after, an urgent drumbeat sounded, and the old general gathered his sons to tell them about the war at the border. He intended to bring everyone to the border to protect the people.

Although the youth was only ten, he insisted on going to the battlefield with his father.

The youth’s elder brother doted on him, saying, “Nonsense. You’re only ten. You can’t go to the battlefield.”

“But Father, Big Brother, Second Brother, and our uncles also went to battle when they were only ten.”

Every man in the general’s estate had to lead troops to the battlefield and fight at a young age. Nonetheless, the general looked at his youngest son with a heavy heart before bringing his sons to the ancestral hall.

Ads by Pubfuture Pictures of those who had died on the battlefield were in the ancestral hall of the General’s estate. Each had guarded this land through generations.

The spectators felt a lump in their throats as they watched what happened before the expedition scene.

Everyone knew about the glory of the general’s estate. However, they were unaware of the generations of accumulated meritorious deeds that brought glory to the estates.

The family had made countless sacrifices to protect the people, but the commoners knew nothing about it.

The general brought his sons to kneel in the ancestral hall, saying, “You must never forget our ancestors’ teachings. We must protect our country and its people. We wouldn’t have a home without Chu Country.

“You mustn’t fear making sacrifices. If you retreat at the border, the enemy will occupy the city and leave our people homeless. Since we’re going to war soon, you must remember your responsibilities.”

The second scene showed what the ten-year-old youth witnessed and heard at the border. War was crueler than anyone could have imagined. It was not easy to protect a city from the enemy.

The actors reenacted the scene of golden spears and iron-clad horses on stage with sound effects, music, and light. The audience was on the edge of their seats as they watched.

The third scene consisted of the Crown Prince roping in the general while the latter remained neutral. The emperor feared the general and tried suppressing him in secret. The former typically refused to pay the army or provide them with rations.

The general had lived frugally to feed his soldiers. The Imperial Court deliberately stopped supplying pensions, and the general had to take it from his own manor. Very few were privy to this.

The third scene showed the war from three years ago. This war lasted a long time and exposed the emperors’ and princes’ selfishness. It also exposed the fact that the Crown Prince had conspired with the enemy to kill the soldiers.

Many soldiers died in vain on the battlefield that day.

Ads by Pubfuture The crowd was furious as they watched. They only felt relieved when the new emperor ascended the throne and vindicated the general’s family.

Although the play was ambiguous and did not specify which general’s manor it was about, everyone knew it was about General Jin’an and his family. Many cried after watching the General’s Order.

Su Chun could barely return to her senses after watching the play.

“How touching! ‘

Su Binglan watched the crowd’s reactions and smiled lightly. Later, she could advertise the play in the newspapers. She even considered allowing the host to go on stage during intermissions to advertise food shops. That way, the theater could collect advertising fees.

Of course, the shops would have to pass a review before being eligible for the advertising slots. After all, Su Binglan did not want to deceive the consumers.

“That was a beautiful play.”

“Yeah, I couldn’t help tearing up. I never knew how much pain and sorrow General Jin’an experienced.”

“l heard he won a battle when he was only ten. It turns out winning battles isn’t that easy, not to mention how young he was.”

“It’s not like we only saw his glamorous side. Still, we didn’t know the Wei family had experienced such hardships.”

“My heart aches for them. I watched this play twice, yet I always tear up.”

“There will be another play in two days. I heard they’re outstanding. Before this, the actors only performed in the prefecture. They even showcased many myths and legends in their plays.”

“Ah, I’m so excited! I need to watch those plays when I have time.”

“l need to consider buying tickets. The seats are always full.”

Everyone discussed the play and upcoming ones as they left the theater. Su Binglan knew they were also discussing her previously written plays. She would write a few more plays for the actors soon.

The sky was already dark when Su Binglan exited the theater. She planned to return to the Wei Manor with Su Chun. Su Binglan wanted to finish cooking dinner just in time for Luo Jin’an’s return.

However, she happened to see a horse galloping toward her with Luo Jin’an on it..

Luo Jin’an spotted Su Binglan through the crowd. As his beautiful wife stood there and looked at him, his heart softened. He only had eyes for her, unable to stop smiling.

He got down from his horse and led it to Su Binglan. The latter smiled and asked, “What are you doing here?”

“You weren’t home when I returned. I asked where you were, and my subordinate told me you’d be here. I came to pick you up.” Luo Jin’an was not used to his wife’s absence. His mood had improved because Su Binglan was by his side.

Su Binglan felt warm inside when she heard the word ‘home.’ She said softly, “Okay, let’s go home then.”

Naturally, Su Chun approached the horse and took it from Luo Jin’an. The latter then held his wife’s hand, and the couple walked toward the manor.

The setting sun shone on them, giving them a moving glow as they walked and chatted.

“How was the play?”

“Although I wrote the script, the performance still moved me,” Su Binglan said, “The stage effects were excellent, and everyone played their parts perfectly.”

Previously, she had only provided the actors with ideas. However, the production team, actors, and actresses were highly talented. They acted out the entire play and brought out the desired atmosphere.

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan added, “So many people cried while watching the play. Even though I left the story ambiguous, everyone knew it was about you and your family. You’re famous and loved by the people now.”

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Luo Jin’an.@@novelbin@@

He smiled gently, saying, “No matter how famous I am, I’ll never be as loved

by the people as you.”

Even the elders of the Wei Manor felt there was something extraordinary about Su Binglan. Everyone knew who she was, and they loved her because of the things she did for them, not because she was a princess.

Su Binglan had become a legend among the people. Those who enjoyed watching the plays knew she was the one who wrote the scripts. They also knew about all the delicacies she had made.

Many discovered that the new policies Lan Ruozhu had implemented were also because of Su Binglan. She smiled, feeling a sense of responsibility. Still, she knew she still had many things to do. “Oh, I visited Ruozhu at the palace this morning.”

Luo Jin’an nodded. “Yeah, I know about that.”

Su Binglan could not help but feel relaxed whenever she was by her husband’s side. She also enjoyed sharing everything with him. “Don’t you want to know what Brother and I discussed?”

“Of course I do. You’d tell me, even if I don’t ask about it,” Luo Jin’an said gently.

Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an had built a tacit understanding with each other. They also knew each other so well that they could almost read each other’s minds.

Su Binglan felt a sweetness in her heart when she heard her husband’s remark. She said, “Brother gave me the Han family’s residence and Liuwu’s manor. I can tear them down and build something of my own.”

Ads by Pubfuture Luo Jin’an was surprised as those two locations were perfect. Moreover, the two massive mansions occupied a vast area, which Su Binglan could use to build many structures. Indeed, it was an excellent plan.

“Is that why you’re so happy?

Su Binglan nodded. “Of course. I’ll draw up some designs when we get home. I’ll even start gathering a team of construction workers tomorrow. 1 want to tear those two buildings down as soon as possible.”

“I’m glad you’re so happy about it,” Luo Jin’an said softly.

As the two reached the manor, Luo Jin’an asked, “Did you visit the prison?”

Su Binglan shifted her gaze, saying, ‘I can’t hide anything from you. I went to see Yueting and his family.”

Luo Jin’an tensed up when he heard Han Yuetings name. The former knew his wife did not care about Han Yueting. However, Luo Jin’an instinctively wanted to ask about Han Yueting after thinking about Han Yuetings status.

Su Binglan chuckled when she noticed her husband’s expression. “Judging from your expression, I assure you that I only went to interrogate him.

Nothing else happened. I even fed him my poison. He’s a stranger to me,

Jin’an.

“Since 1 went to interrogate him, don’t you want to know what 1 discovered?” She could feel how much Luo Jin’an cared for her.

Luo Jin’an saw his wife’s smile and helplessly sighed.

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan’s heart ached at that moment, saying, “l know there are certain things you’re apprehensive about doing, so let me handle them.”

Luo Jin’an’s heart also ached because his wife had to do everything for him.

Su Binglan noticed it and added, “It was nothing. I just went to interrogate the

Han family and let Xiaoxun get her revenge.”

When she set up the production crew, she told Luo Jin’an about Yang Xiaoxun’s life experiences. Luo Jin’an remembered everything.

“The person who almost cost Xiaoxun her life and traumatized her was one of the Han family’s illegitimate children, Han Mobei. I allowed Xiaoxun to meet him and take her revenge,

“l also know how cunning Yueting can be, so I poisoned him. No one can cure him, even if he tries to escape. His death is assured. After all, he betrayed you and your family. Treason is a capital crime, Jin’an.”

Luo Jin’an’s mood improved when he heard Su Binglan’s protective tone. He asked, “What else did you find out?”

“The poisons you and Ruozhu suffered aren’t as simple as they seem. They didn’t originate from the palace. Someone gave them to the emperor. They hired someone to infect you and Ruozhu with the poisons.

“Ruozhu’s nanny tricked and poisoned him. Although she died, we just found out she was a member of the emperor’s palace. I didn’t expect a third party to be behind it.’

“What about the cold poison in my body?” Luo Jin’an asked.

Although Su Binglan had cured him of the cold poison, she was still worried about him.

Luo Jin’an added, “I only got poisoned because I tried saving someone during a battle.’

He wouldn’t have suffered a narrow escape if it were not for the cold poison. He had never mentioned these things in the past.

After hearing Luo Jin’an elaborate on the situation, Su Binglan realized the situation was more complicated than she had imagined. She asked, “It’s too despicable. Was there a spy?”

“Someone snuck into the military camp back then,” Luo Jin’an explained,

“They used a skin-changing method, so no one realized it until it was too

late..

Ads by Pubfuture Chapter 887: The Last Disciple Translator: Endlessæantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Binglan became wide-eyed, asking, “Skin changing method? You mean a disguise?”

Luo Jin’an elaborated, “No, it was something much more advanced than just a disguise. It’s like a human skin stuck to another’s face, making it hard to discern whether or not it’s a disguise. I would’ve noticed the spy long ago if they used a basic disguise.”

Su Binglan’s gaze sank. “Who is this person? How can they possess such an ability?”

Luo Jin’an paled, and his expression turned cold. Nieanwhile, Su Binglan realized things were not as simple as they seemed. Someone had explicitly targeted the Wei family, Luo Jin’an, and Lan Ruozhu.

“It was my sister-in-law.” Luo Jin’an sighed. He was unwilling to speak about this in the past because he did not want to involve his wife. Now that everyone knew she was his wife, he could only tell her what really happened.

“What?! It was your sister-in-law?” Su Binglan was in disbelief.

Ordinary people did not have much of an impression of the Wei family’s former young mistress. That was because she was a commoner from a humble family.

Luo Jin’an’s older brother was a talented man. He had established many military merits at a young age, and many women in the capital admired him. However, no one expected Luo Jin’an’s brother to marry a commoner.

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan remembered seeing the young mistress from afar once. The latter was gentle and nonconfrontational. She did not fight for anything, as if she did not care about the mortal world.

The young mistress also avoided drawing attention, causing Su Binglan to wonder if the young mistress would scheme against the Wei family. Su Binglan frowned, asking, “Do you know her well?”

“Not really, no.” Luo Jin’an shook his head. “Big Brother knew our family’s situation back then. We knew the emperor feared us, so my brother wanted to protect us by not marrying a woman with status or power.

“That’s why my brother made a compromise and married a woman with no background. He seemed to respect his wife, but I don’t know what happened between them behind closed doors.’

Before this, Luo Jin’an only focused on training soldiers, fighting, and constantly learning. Moreover, he could not interfere in his elder brother’s personal life.@@novelbin@@

Su Binglan was puzzled after hearing all that. She asked, “Then, did you also choose a commoner as your wife?”

Luo Jin’an was dumbfounded, not expecting his wife to ask such a question. He went silent for a while.

Su Binglan snorted. “Is that what you think?”

Luo Jin’an sighed and grabbed Su Binglan’s hand. “Of course not.”

Although he only focused on protecting the country back then, the only girl he was willing to get close to and care for was Lan Ruobing.

Su Binglan had purposely questioned him just now. She realized that he would have married a commoner back then for his family’s sake. That was if he had not been familiar with Lan Ruobing back then.

Still, Luo Jin’an got engaged to Lan Ruobing and got tied to the Deceased Royal’s Mansion for her. Additionally, no one had high hopes for the Deceased Royal’s Mansion.

Ads by Pubfuture Everyone believed Lan Ruozhu and Lan Ruobing would die young. They also knew the Wei family and the Deceased Royal’s Mansion shared the same fate because they were thorns on the emperor’s side. Even so, the Wei family and Wei Jin’an did everything to protect Lan Ruobing.

After thinking everything through, Su Binglan’s heart raced. It would be a lie to say she did not feel warm inside.

Although Luo Jin’an was not good at expressing himself, he would silently support and protect his wife with his actions.

Su Binglan asked, “So, what happened with your brother and sister-in-law?” “They died,” Luo Jin’an answered in a heavy tone.

Su Binglan’s heart ached when she heard that. She hugged Luo Jin’an because she knew investigating this clue would be challenging. She asked again, “Do you know what faction is behind this?”

“It has something to do with the forces in the martial world,” Luo Jin’an said,

“I’ve yet to discover what they actually are.”

As if he thought of something, he continued, “Oh, I went out earlier to investigate the Black Shadow Pavilion. I learned that the Black Shadow

Pavilion’s master had taken in a secret disciple more than twenty years ago. The master even adopted that boy.

“However, an internal strife occurred among them, and the master’s adopted son disappeared. Someone said the boy died. Your father said something that matches the boy’s description. I have a portrait of him.”

As Luo Jin’an spoke, he entered his study and showed Su Binglan a portrait. She was stunned when she looked at it. She could tell at a glance that the person in the picture was her father. Su Fengmao and the boy looked identical.

“Th-that’s my father.” Su Binglan knew she was not mistaken.

Ads by Pubfuture Su Fengmao was a handsome kid. In the portrait, he wore a black suit and held a sword. His expression was tense and cold.

“My father looked like this when he was young. My grandma said my mother was a beauty when she was young. Perhaps that’s why my brothers are so handsome.’

Luo Jin’an nodded. “Yeah, according to the clues we’ve gathered, your father is related to the Black Shadow Pavilion.’

Su Binglan asked, “Is the master of the Black Shadow Pavilion still around?”

Luo Jin’an explained, “Although there was an internal conflict in the Black Shadow Pavilion, no one had ever found the master’s token. If that’s the case, he should still be alive somewhere.

“Still, the internal strife and disappearance of your father caused the master to go insane. Someone then took control of his mind.”

Su Binglan said, “So there are two factions within the Black Shadow Pavilion now.”

“The master seemed to have treated your father well, Binglan. However, your father went to Flower County for a mission he had received from the Black Shadow Pavilion. Your father never expected to meet your mother there.”

Su Binglan furrowed her brows, asking, “Why’d my father go to Flower County?”

“He must’ve been looking for something,” Luo Jin’an speculated, “I haven’t found out what it is, though.”

Before leaving Su Teng Village, Luo Jin’an had told Su Binglan that he had something to do. He had gone to investigate the Black Shadow Pavilion to help his wife understand this.

However, he had to return to help Lan Ruozhu during the recent war.

Su Binglan pointed at the table, saying, “I must meet the master of the Black Shadow Pavilion. He should know something, right? Perhaps my father will regain some of his memories once he reunites with his master.”

“Wait, you want your father to remember his past?

“I asked him about it before, and he wants this. I respect his decision. I feel obligated to save and heal the master of his insanity because he treated my father well.” Su Binglan was confident in her medical skills.

“Don’t worry,” Luo Jin’an said, “I’ll make some arrangements.”

The couple had to make ample preparations but could not alarm the Black Shadow Pavilion. Otherwise, it might even put Su Fengmao in danger..

“Thanks for this.” Su Binglan nodded. She believed in her husband but would not interfere in the martial world for the time being. After all, she still had many things to do in the capital.

After the discussion, Su Binglan realized how late it was. She asked, “What would you like to have for dinner?”

Luo Jin’an shook his head. “Let the housekeepers cook tonight. You’ve been busy all day. Please don’t tire yourself out. Just rest.”

“I’ll never get tired of cooking for you,” Su Binglan meant every word.

“You’ve already cooked so much yesterday,” Luo Jin’an said, even though he wanted to eat his wife’s cooking. After all, she could make anything delicious, even with the most ordinary ingredients.

After some thought, Su Binglan said, “Why don’t we eat out tonight? We can stroll around the city.”

There was a night market in the capital. Although it was nighttime, it would be bright and lively. The shops in the night market stayed open till about midnight.

Many high-ranking officials and dignitaries often spent their nights in the night market. Even ordinary folks had money to spend, so the streets would still be lively.

Previously, Su Binglan had set up a two-floor hotpot restaurant on the same street. Even at night, the restaurant would be crowded. Even so, it was summer now, and eating hotpot was less than ideal.

Therefore, Su Binglan invented wooden mechanical fans. Since there was no electricity in that era, people would have to crank the fan to make it work. Su Binglan even included a space under the fan to store ice.

Like a waterwheel, the fan would speak the cold air as it rotated, making the hotpot restaurant cooler, even in summer. Everyone could enjoy their hotpot as the fan blew on them.

Such an invention was unique in this era. Everyone thought it was novel, and many would eat at the restaurant just to use the fan.

Ads by Pubfuture Although the restaurant was crowded, Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an did not have to line up. Instead, they could use private room number one. The room was not open to the public and was exclusive to the Su family.

“All right, let’s eat out.” Luo Jin’an smiled when he saw the excitement in his wife’s eyes. He would accompany her wherever she wanted to go.

The main streets were spacious and full of people shopping. They felt safe to stroll the streets at night because there were squads of royal guards patrolling the area all day and night. No one would dare cause trouble.

Many people even set up their stalls on the bustling streets, as even foreigners visited. At night, they would stroll the streets and eat some delicious street food.

Everyone knew about the new delicacies in the capital, so they were excited to try the food.

“Quick, let’s eat at the hotpot restaurant. I heard they’re hosting a lucky draw.

We have a chance to win some fruit juice.”

“l heard it’s tasty. It’s a pity that I’ve yet to try it.”

“My sister took her son to a hotpot restaurant once, and they won a bottle of fruit juice. She said it tasted unique.”

“Let’s eat at the hotpot restaurant and participate in the lucky draw, too. I want to try winning the fruit juice.”

“It’d be great if there was a juice shop. Then we can drink it anytime we want.”

“l heard many people are eager to buy it. Still, the factories in Teng County can’t keep up with the demand. 1 wonder when fruit juice will be available here.’

“Yeah, I’m almost desperate to try it.”

Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an overheard such discussions as they strolled along the streets. The former smiled, saying, “It seems people can’t wait to try fruit juice.

Ads by Pubfuture “Having some iced fruit juice is an excellent way to quench your thirst, especially during summer. Still, there’s mostly alcohol here. There isn’t much else to drink around here.’

This era was unlike modern times, where there were various beverages such as milk tea.

Luo Jin’an looked at Su Binglan and asked, “How do you make fruit juice?”

Su Binglan explained, “We make it by squeezing the juice out of fruits. Although there’s a factory in the wastelands near the capital, I plan to build a fruit juice factory and milk tea ingredient shop nearby.@@novelbin@@

“Then, I’ll open milk tea shops all over the country to sell iced drinks. When winter arrives, they’ll switch to selling hot milk tea.”

Almost everyone enjoyed drinking milk tea in the modern era. Since that was the case, Su Binglan thought the people of this era would enjoy it, too. She could tell from the popularity of her fruit juice.

Luo Jin’an smiled, saying, “The people of the capital will be pleased. I heard them talking about how they hoped more factories would open nearby so they could try something fresh.”

“I’ll build the factories soon. When I finish establishing the supermarket, everyone will realize how convenient it is.” Su Binglan smiled back at Luo Jin’an.

She continued, “l feel most shops here charge higher prices sometimes. That’s why the commoners have to bargain for a long while before finally buying something. 1 just think it’s inefficient.

“The supermarket will ensure the prices are fair. I’ll implement price tags so there will no longer be a need for bargaining. People can just buy whatever they see.”

It was Luo Jin’an’s first time hearing about price tags. He asked, “Does that mean everything will have a set price?”

Su Binglan nodded. “Yeah, that’s right. It’ll save everyone plenty of time and effort. ”

Luo Jin’an said, “Now that you mentioned it, I can’t wait to see what the supermarket will look like.”

“I’ll start hiring construction workers tomorrow. 1 can start building it once I’ve formed a construction team. Still, I must ensure the supply and use the people we trust to run the cashier counter.”

There was a comprehensive college in Su Teng Village’s development area, which nurtured various talents. The students there knew embroidery, management, martial arts, and many more. These students would play a significant role in the country’s future development.

The couple discussed such things as they strolled around the night market. There were lanterns everywhere, lighting up the streets. Although it was nighttime, it seemed like the sun was out.

The sounds of people hawking, bargaining, and greeting customers echoed through the streets. It made the atmosphere livelier. Patrolling guards even passed by on both sides.

Su Binglan quickly spotted the hotpot restaurant because many people had gathered at its entrance. She knew everyone was queueing up to enter..

The waiter at the hotpot restaurant put stools for everyone queueing at the

door so they could sit down. Of course, they also put snacks at the door for those waiting in line.

The snacks were delicious and also unique to the hotpot restaurant. Those who came to eat at the restaurant were anxious as they waited.

“Waiter, will it be our turn soon?”

“l wonder how much longer we’ll have to wait. I’m so excited to eat here.”

“Let’s take a number first.’

“Waiter, you should expand the shop. It’s always so full here.”

“That’s an excellent suggestion.”

While waiting, the eager patrons asked how much longer they had to wait before they could eat. Some even suggested expanding the restaurant to accommodate more people.

The waiter thought the restaurant was already big enough. After all, it spanned two shop lots and two floors. Still, too many people visited the restaurant daily, causing a seemingly perpetual queue to form.

Of course, the waiter was happy to see so many people eating at the restaurant. That was because the staff would get more bonuses if the business went well.

Even though many people were eager and asked many questions, the waiter patiently answered every one. He even gave them snacks to accommodate them better.

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan looked at the queue and thought she should enter through the back instead. Thus, she led Luo Jin’an to the back.

Only she and the restaurant manager knew about the back entrance. The back door would then lead directly to the private room on the second floor. Su Binglan sighed in relief when she and her husband reached the room.

“It’s nice that there’s a fan to cool us down. It’s much colder inside than it is out there,” Luo Jin’an said.

Although there was a hotpot burning at every table, the restaurant’s temperature was not high. Su Binglan explained, “I changed the structure below and added a cellar. There’s ice in there, so that’s why cold air is seeping through from below.”

Luo Jin’an became wide-eyed. “1 didn’t expect you to do that. Did you tell someone to make ice cubes?”

He felt his wife would have used countless ice cubes to cool the whole building. Moreover, it seemed anyone could obtain ice for free during summer. Even he thought it was a little strange.

Su Binglan smiled. “Yeah, I got someone to make the ice cubes so that people can get them for free.”

She had made ice cubes for transporting her goods and also for people to cool themselves down during summer. Therefore, there was a refreshing feeling inside the restaurant.

Although it was summer, the wind at night was cooling. The wind would blow through the window and bring a hint of coldness to the room, especially with the ice cubes below.

Luo Jin’an could also smell a refreshing fragrance in the private room. He then saw the plants around and said, “If I’m not mistaken, these plants can repel mosquitoes.”

Su Binglan smiled. “That’s right. Mosquitos are rampant during summer, so I added these plants. Now, the guests won’t have to worry about getting bitten. 1 also added mosquito repellent sachets around the place for the customers to use.”

The embroidery shop had made the sachets, and Su Binglan only added some medicinal herbs to them to help repel the mosquitos. People could even use the sachets in their houses so that they would not get bitten while they slept.

Su Binglan took a sachet and showed it to her husband. He looked at it and nodded, saying, “This is brilliant. The smell is faint and has a hint of medicinal fragrance. It’s pretty relaxing, too.”

Su Binglan explained, “We only give these sachets to those who eat at the hotpot restaurants. It’s also a way to attract customers.”

Ads by Pubfuture Luo Jin’an said, “l heard so many people saying that eating here is also a great experience besides just eating. Everyone feels relaxed when they eat here because of how polite the staff is. The waiters treat the customers equally no matter where they come from or what their status is.”

Su Binglan explained, “It’s part of their training before they can start working here. These are basic things they must remember.”

As the two spoke, the waiter brought over the food and placed the pot on the built-in stove. The couple then began eating. It had been a long time since Su Binglan ate hotpot. While eating, she thought of the first time she introduced hotpot to her family.

“I remember the first time we had this.’

Luo Jin’an smiled. “It was during the Lantern Festival, right?”

He was not around at that time because he had gone to the prefecture. Still, he had heard about it from Su Wenzhe and the others when he returned.

Su Binglan nodded, “Yeah, I also made plenty of mooncakes for the Lantern Festival. That was also the day Wenwu came home to us. Everyone was thrilled to see him. The whole family sat around the table and shared the hotpot. They thought it was the best thing they had ever eaten.”@@novelbin@@

Su Binglan did not think about much else at that time. She only wanted her family to become wealthy and live good lives. It seemed like Su Teng Village and Tenghe Town had become a paradise in the blink of an eye,

Foreign merchants who passed by would always visit Su Teng Village’s development site for a few days just to eat the delicacies there.

Su Binglan’s eyes shined when she spoke of these things. She added, “It’s just that you weren’t home at that time.”

Luo Jin’an sighed. “I was in the prefecture with Ruozhu back then.”

At that time, Su Binglan did not know her husbands true identity. She did not even have Lan Ruobings memories.

“Now that all of Chu Country can settle down, the people can live and work in peace. 1 want my parents to visit the capital.” Su Binglan wanted to build more things as soon as possible so that her parents could see a different side of the capital.

Later, the couple returned to the manor. After a good night’s sleep, Su Binglan began forming her construction team.

When everyone read the newspaper, they went to the designated location early in the morning to wait for the interview. Su Binglan left her subordinates in charge of the people while she reviewed their information.

After confirming the potential workers had no problems, she would hire them to be on her construction team. Moreover, she would pay them daily. Everyone was excited when they heard that.

Since there were many experienced construction workers in the capital, Su Binglan quickly formed her team.

“Let’s go.” Su Binglan handed the blueprints to one of the contractors. “Tear down these two mansions and clean up the area first. Then, you can start constructing the buildings according to the blueprints.”

The chief contractor was highly experienced. In the past, he was responsible for renovating the palace and building the imperial garden. Hence, he quickly understood the blueprints..

The chief contractor was so excited to see the blueprints that his hands trembled. He could not take his eyes off the blueprints, either. “Your Highness, these are… These buildings…”

He could imagine how unique and extraordinary the buildings would be. He had built many magnificent buildings but had never seen such designs. He was shocked and excited, not expecting to be involved in this project.

Su Binglan asked softly, “Is there a problem?”

The chief contractor shook his head. “No, no, the blueprints are extremely detailed. It’s just that I’ve never seen such unique structures before.”

Su Binglan’s supermarket design was highly similar to that of the modern world. However, she stuck with the ancient architectural exterior to match the era. Still, it was expansive and easy to navigate inside.

She even wrote every measurement in detail. Contractors who knew architecture would know how to build it just by looking at the blueprints. The chief contractor could also imagine the buildings appearance easily.

Moreover, the blueprints included several different-looking structures. Su Binglan nodded. “Just build it according to the drawings.”@@novelbin@@

She also gave the chief contractor the needed materials and starting capital. As for the construction team’s wages, she would pay them daily.

Su Yi had already traveled from Su Teng Village to the capital. As the project was substantial, he would monitor and oversee its progress. He would also arrange for someone to settle the financial expenses.

Additionally, Su Binglan had requested him to pay the workers. After making these arrangements, she went to handle other matters. Previously, Luo Jin’an had given her full control over his familys business.

Ads by Pubfuture Since the previous emperor had sealed the business, the building was empty. However, the locations of these shops were excellent as they were at the center of the bustling capital.

Su Binglan planned to use one of these shops to open a juice bar and milk tea shop.

Su Binglan brought Su Chun to one of the shops and said, “We’ll use this one as a juice bar. I’ll draw up a renovation design later and hire someone to do the work.

“I’ll use the one next door as a milk tea shop. Let’s try to complete the renovations and open these shops as soon as possible. We’ll sell cold drinks and ice creams here, too.’

Su Chun lit up when she heard Su Binglan’s words. The former knew she could eat something new soon. Su Binglan had told her about milk tea before, but Su Chun had never tasted it.

“Master, can we drink milk tea while watching the plays at the theater?” Su Chun remembered her master saying it would be great if they could have milk tea at the theater.

Of course, people snacked while watching, but they only had water to drink. It would be better if they had fruit juice and milk tea. That way, it would be even more relaxing.

Su Binglan smiled. “Sure, drinking milk tea is also a way to relax.”

Su Chun became motivated. “Should we do it now, Master?”

It was hot because it was just past noon. Su Chun thought he could drink milk tea after making it.

Su Binglan said, “We’ll need milk to make it. It’s best if someone could raise cows in batches.’

Su Chun was stunned. “I’ve never heard of anyone who specializes in raising cows. People typically use cows and bison to help with farming. Won’t the milk taste weird?”

Su Binglan smiled. “Milk is a good thing. We can use it to make many things. I even used milk to make my cakes. Still, 1 don’t know if there’s any milk here, If there’s none, we can open a milk farm that specializes in producing milk.

Ads by Pubfuture “Since milk has a high nutritional value, it’s also good for children. We can also use it as a facial wash because it’s good for the skin.”

Su Binglan could imagine what it would be like. Her eyes even sparkled when she thought about the cow farm. Su Chun was just as excited and could not wait to try the milk.

Su Binglan brought Su Chun to a nearby village to see if there were any cows. The living conditions of the villagers near the capital were much better than those in Dingzhou. Every village had several families with cows.

Su Binglan even paid the families double the price for their cows. Moreover, she hired the villagers to build a vast farm for the cows. She had planned to build a factory first but decided to start with the farm first.

She walked through a few villages and ultimately bought more than ten cows. After building the farm, she would put them in and hire people to care for them. Su Binglan paid the villagers well to take care of the cows.

After a busy afternoon, she prepared to return to the manor. Just before that, she got someone to give her a bucket of milk to bring back.

The villagers only snapped out of their daze after Su Binglan left. They looked at the money they had earned with trembling hands. One said, “Her Highness paid us so much just for our cows and to care for them for a few days.” “Was that really Her Highness?”

“She also said she wants us to build a farm on the surrounding wasteland. Although we don’t know what a farm is, Her Highness will hire us to work at the farm for considerable wages.”

“I’m still in disbelief.’
