When Gong Ruixue and Ling Jing returned to Chiwan City, Qi Xinghai still hadn't come back. Feng Haoyan left a letter saying that he had to go back to the Divine Doctor Villa for urgent matters.

Ling Jing was ready to take Gong Ruixue back immediately, but Gong Ruixue had not received Huosang's reply yet and was a little worried.

Therefore, the two stayed in Chiwan City for two more days and asked Qi Xinghai's secret guards to bring Qi Xinghai a message that they were planning to return.

Xiao Yu'er took Gong Ruixue to the flour factory. Xiao Yu'er's teaching work in the flour factory has come to an end, and the first batch of flour is about to leave the factory!

Gong Ruixue has always felt that the food output in this era is small, and she is afraid that the rice flour factory will not be able to operate.

Gong Ruixue was still a little shocked when she saw the scale of the rice noodle factory.

Xiaoyuer smiled and Gong Ruixue thought too much: "I don't know where you heard about the low food production, Miss. If we, Bingzhou, all say that the food production is low, then the other four countries will probably starve to death."

Only then did Gong Ruixue realize that there was something wrong with her comparison. The area of ​​good land available for planting in Bingzhou was the largest among the five countries. Because the land is good, the output is much higher than in other countries.

Every year, merchants from other countries would collect grain at high prices. However, after the new emperor ascended the throne, the external grain price and the taxes on the people were greatly increased.

The population of this dynasty was not large, so having enough to eat was basically not a problem. But there are also many hidden dangers that are slowly brewing.

For example, under the pressure of high food prices, few caravans from other countries come to buy food. Coupled with the new emperor's obsession with refining elixirs and medicines, the price of medicinal materials has skyrocketed, and a lot of good land has been used to grow medicinal materials.

With limited manpower and material resources, more and more people are growing herbal medicine, which means that food production will be greatly reduced.

Grain reserves will also decrease with production, so the people's ability to resist disasters will be very weak.

The surrounding four countries do not have enough food themselves, and now the only channel for buying food has been blocked.

In order to save their lives, people who are extremely hungry and cannot afford to buy food will definitely come and grab it!

The shadow of war and disaster has actually been revealed for a long time, but people just looked at the immediate interests and did not notice it.

The rice noodle factory operates in an orderly manner, and the person in charge is a thirty-year-old woman who is very knowledgeable about factory operations and marketing. Gong Ruixue chatted with her for a long time. This person had something on his mind.

Such talents should be called professional managers in modern times.

With the rice noodle factory operating under her control, Gong Ruixue can basically rest assured.

After taking Xiao Yu'er back to Zhuangzi, someone had already sent Huosang's reply.

The reply said that Sang Lan had broken up with Huosang and had not seen Sang Lan for some time.

Huosang launched a coup in the Ling Kingdom and is now the king of the Ling Kingdom. This time I even had someone pull a carriage with gifts for Gong Ruixue.

Gong Ruixue was dumbfounded. Although Gong Ruixue knew that women were respected in the Ling Kingdom, was the coup so easy?

"The structure of the Ling Kingdom is different from ours. Huosang was deploying his forces when he came to Bingzhou to be a hostage. In fact, the Ling Kingdom has long been under the control of Huosang, but Huosang still has weaknesses. Take action. Now that the weakness has escaped, of course Huosang will not hesitate."

Ling Jing analyzed the situation for Gong Ruixue in various ways. Gong Ruixue was confused and could only understand that Ling Jing was really powerful and could analyze the situation of any country.

Ling Jing saw Gong Ruixue gradually frowning and stopped talking: "Do you have a headache again? Lie down quickly."

It is true that Gong Ruixue's headaches have become more and more frequent recently, but they will be relieved soon after being massaged skillfully by Ling Jing, and it will not cause any serious problems.

Gong Ruixue and the others had basically finished what they had to do, so they started to pack their things and prepare to return home.

The three of them brought three carriages with them when they returned home! One is for people, one is for the babies that Huosang gave to Gong Ruixue, and the other is for Zhouzhou Prefecture specialties and half a truck of rice noodles prepared by Qi Xinghai.

When the three of them passed through Qian'an City, they heard from the local people that Yong and Wang had beheaded all twenty of the captured human traffickers Ada in public! Among them were the second child and the sixth child who escorted Gong Ruixue and the others.

Zhouzhou Mansion was managed very well by Qi Xinghai, and almost all the people praised Qi Xinghai as a good prince who could do practical things for the people.

"This time King Yonghe issued an order that anyone who steals or robs children in Zhouzhou Mansion from now on will be punished with the maximum punishment. Our little baby in Zhouzhou Mansion will be safe in the future, and we adults can rest assured."

"That's right, the taxes in the areas under the jurisdiction of the imperial court are now very high. Although our Zhouzhou Prefecture has many mountains and few fields, the taxes have not increased at all!"

"I heard news from the palace that Yonghe Wang has obtained a new farming method. It will allow us to grow fertile fields with even sunshine on the mountains. Is it true?"

"It's true, it's true. I have a relative who works as an errand for the prince's village. Zhuangzi is already trying it. If it works, the prince will send people down to help the people open fields."

"Really! That's great! If you want to say, this superior should be like our prince, if not..."

"Hey, hey, stop talking! Who says it's not the case?"

"I see that there is no hope for life outside. I'd better rely on my connections to move my parents' family to Zhouzhou Mansion! After that, life will get better, but I'm afraid it will be even harder to move there."

"Yes, fortunately, my whole family is a native of Qian'an. It would be great if the prince's legs could heal! Why doesn't God bless our prince?"

Gong Ruixue was in the car listening to a few aunts chatting on the roadside, and she could see how popular Qi Xinghai was.

"Taozi, can his leg really be cured?" Ling Jing also heard the conversation outside.

Gong Ruixue smiled at Ling Jingmei: "Tao Zi takes action, one can stand up to two!"

"Actually, he is very similar to Huosang. If he hadn't still hoped for that little bit of family affection back then, he wouldn't have fallen to where he is now."

"Do you want him to be the emperor? In other words, do you want to be the emperor?" Gong Ruixue asked Ling Jing. After all, Ling Jing was also a member of the royal family.

Ling Jing shook his head: "He is a born emperor, and I don't even want to be a member of the royal family anymore!"

Ling Jing looked at Gong Ruixue with bright eyes, filled with expectations and outlook on life.

"He will be a good emperor. The Pingjin Palace is gone, and I am no longer Min Ling, but Ling Jing of the Gong family. This is good."

Gong Ruixue understood, at least Ling Jing was happy in the Gong family.

Gong Ruixue also breathed a sigh of relief, at least she didn't have to think about whether to help Qi Xinghai or Ling Jing in the future.

The return journey of Gong Ruixue and the others was full of laughter.

But in Jingzhi Town, a group of uninvited guests came to the Gong family.

Yuxiuyuan was so disturbed that it was hard to live in peace.
