Traveling through ancient times

In October, the golden autumn brings cool breeze and news of bumper harvests from all over the country spreads to Beijing!

In the palace, Emperor Longcheng had not had a good rest for many days and looked much more haggard!

As the helmsman of the Darong Kingdom, he has experienced several storms. Several princes have been deposed or put under house arrest. He is over fifty years old and his hair has turned gray!

He called the second prince, the fifth prince, and the seventh prince over, and had a long talk with the father and sons!

"I have tested him for a year. The second one is very good in both character and how to be a king. The fifth one is talented but he likes medicine more. The seventh one is only eight years old this year. He is smart, but there is no capable person in his mother's family."

After a pause, Emperor Longcheng continued:

"I am getting older and sometimes I am unable to handle government affairs. The imperial physician has long said that I need to take good care of my health. In the future, the second brother will have to take over slowly. I hope that you will be kind and respectful to each other and support each other to make our Darong stronger and stronger!"

To the few people, these words sounded like a request for the care of an orphan, as if Emperor Longcheng's life was coming to an end. Even the mature and steady Second Prince Xue Hai could not help but shed tears. Xue Lin and the Seventh Prince Xue Pan were even more in tears!

"Wipe your tears, your father is not dead yet, what are you doing? I am just speaking from the bottom of my heart to you, is it that serious?"

Emperor Longcheng's words made the three of them shed tears!

Three days later, a major event took place in the court of Darong. Many ministers proposed that the emperor appoint a crown prince. After several debates, Emperor Longcheng finally made the final decision and appointed the second prince Xue Hai as the crown prince!

The fifth prince Xue Lin is the Prince of Shou, with Shoucheng County as his fief. The seventh prince Xue Pan is the Prince of Ming, with Mingshan County as his fief. They will decide whether to stay or leave after they come of age!

After that, a handsome boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old often appeared in the Prime Minister's Mansion, following Feng Xiaolian like a tail, under the pretext of:

"There must be a teacher among three people. Age is not the only factor that determines success. Miss Feng is an excellent doctor. I am willing to help her!"

Feng Xiaolian was annoyed and often went into the space:

"Is this Fifth Prince a sticky person? Why is he so diligent in coming here? No, I have to ask Grandpa to find something for him to do!"

Feng Dalian and her sister-in-law were happily eating watermelons, they were just about to grab a handful of watermelon seeds and cross their legs!

The two of them smiled at each other. It was obvious that the Fifth Prince was in the midst of love. Just look at the way he looked at his younger sister!

It’s just that my younger sister is only in her teens now and doesn’t know anything about love, so of course I just let nature take its course!

Soon it was the end of another year, and Feng Dalian brought Lian Rui's account book from the capital to the palace!

"Your Majesty, I have come to give you some money today!"

Emperor Longcheng laughed, every time he saw this girl, something good happened!

"Tell me, how much silver did you give me this year?"

Feng Dalian playfully blinked her big, lively eyes and said, "Guess, if you guess right, I'll give you a surprise!"

Emperor Longcheng immediately became more interested: "You sent in more than 28,000 in bonuses last December, and this year you added a few more stores, so it should be more than 400,000!"

Feng Dalian puffed out her chest, smiled proudly, and raised eight fingers:

"Eight hundred and twenty thousand taels!"

Emperor Longcheng gasped, his eyes filled with disbelief. Could this be an attempt to rob money?

Then I heard the Lady of Hua'an County say:

"Although you didn't guess correctly, I will give you the good news for free... I have decided to use all the profits from the capital to support the road construction of our Darong!"

This year, because the army became stronger, the border was stable, the weather in Darong Kingdom was good, and the high-yield and high-quality varieties promoted by the court were planted throughout the country and a bumper harvest was achieved. The policy paper written by Lin Shiyu was also appreciated by Prime Minister Feng and recommended to the court!

Because of his outstanding achievements in the governance of Henan Prefecture, Guo Jing was transferred to Kyoto to serve as Guanglu Xuncheng. Although he was also a fourth-rank official, fourth-rank officials in Kyoto had more opportunities than local officials. These were opportunities that others could not get even with connections!

Lin Shiyu was transferred to Henan Prefecture as the county chief, a jump of several levels in one go, which was truly beyond people's imagination!

During this period, Feng Dalian went to see his sworn brother specially, and found that after not seeing him for a year, there was a handsome young man beside his sworn brother. His sworn brother didn't notice it at all, or maybe he pretended to be blind after seeing it. This young man was a woman dressed as a man, and was said to be the nephew of his sworn brother's teacher, who was entrusted by the teacher to experience the people's sentiments!

My brother’s spring is probably coming!

I went back to Shannan County, made arrangements in the county and returned to Cuiyu Village!

Zhang Fa, the village head, is now doing very well. He led the villagers to complete the fourth phase of the rural construction designed by Feng Dalian!

The residential area and the factory area are completely separated, and everyone in the village has moved into the new area! The roads are wide and smooth, and they lead in all directions!

The fruit workshop expanded and recruited dozens of women from surrounding villages!

The clothing workshop is also operating stably!

The farming laborers in the village are working hard to reclaim wasteland in an effort to grow more food next year!

Nowadays, every family has surplus food, savings in their hands, and everyone has a sincere smile on their face!

Widow Sun told me that Gu Damei was returned by her master for unknown reasons and was trying to commit suicide by hanging herself. She was in a very bad mood during those few days, either cursing Gu Si for being so conscienceless as to gamble with her niece's future, or blaming her parents for selling her as a bargaining chip!

Later, for some unknown reason, the well in the house was poisoned. Fortunately, the third wife worked in the workshop, his son Gu Bufan and Gu Si's son Gu Shaoqi went to private school, and Xiaomei also became an apprentice in a jewelry store in the county. As a result, Gu Si and his wife and Gu Da's family of three all died!

No one knew when Gu Ermei disappeared. Some people said that they saw Gu Ermei running away with a man carrying a bag in the middle of the night!

Gu Meihua's family is now thriving. Liu Li has been escorting escorts for many years and has earned a lot of money. He has bought a few acres of good farmland for the family. In addition to learning to read and do math, Liu Daqiang also helps take care of the farmland when he returns home!

Liu Meili likes embroidery, and now she will take on some embroidery work that the workshop outsources, and she makes a lot of money! Now, Gu Shaoqi lives with the second wife, which is not bad!

Feng Dalian shared it with her brothers and sisters on her space, and Xi was filled with emotion!

"Da Mei doesn't seem to be a very radical person, so why would she do such a thing?"

Feng Xiaolian said, "Sister, I heard something before I came here. It seems that she was originally sent to the mother of the county magistrate by my fourth uncle, and later became his concubine. I don't know why, but he sent her back again!"

"Then why did you return to Jade Village?"

Feng Wenzhi frowned and said!

"I heard that he saw the man's younger brother was good-looking at the county magistrate's mother, so he planned an adultery plan, but she was discovered, so she was beaten with a stick and sent back! I don't know who said something to provoke her, and then the tragedy happened!"

Feng Dalian smiled and said, "So, when you do things, you should leave some room for maneuver. Giving others some escape routes is equivalent to leaving yourself some chance of survival. However, you should be more ruthless when necessary. If you don't kill the jackal with one blow, it will bite you to death when it recovers!"

This is for Xiaolian and Lun'er. Life is long, and everywhere is the scenery and the classroom!
