The two of them traveled through the Tang Dynasty to open a supermarket, and the little Sizi was sup

Xiao Ran helped the little princess wash up, and then she went downstairs.

Just as Xiao Ran said, there really were big meat buns today, much bigger than what they usually eat. The little princess ate one meat bun and only drank half a bowl of porridge before she was full.

Looking at the remaining porridge in the bowl, the little princess patted her tummy.

"Little Nangjun~ I'm so full, duck~"

Xiao Ran also looked at the little princess's belly.

"We're full, so we won't eat anymore."

The little princess obediently nodded.

Now the little princess is no longer worried about wasting food. As long as there isn't too much left over, the meat will help finish it.

After breakfast, it's time to go to school.

Xiao Ran escorted the little princess to her class, while he himself went to the Lizheng Hall.

“Young master, you’ve come at the right time.” Li Chengqian looked at Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran sat down next to him.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

Li Chengqian had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a very good mood.

“When my grandfather came over a while ago, he discussed with me about setting up cement plants in other states. This morning, a report came up saying that the cement plant was being set up very smoothly and that the local homeless and beggars were almost nowhere to be seen.”

Xiao Ran understood. In this way, cement production increased and the problem of displaced people was solved. No wonder Li Chengqian was so happy.

Seeing Li Chengqian's happy expression, Xiao Ran didn't want to spoil the mood and immediately said, "That's indeed a good thing."

Li Chengqian looked at Xiao Ran and said, "It's all thanks to the young master."

Without Xiao Ran, we wouldn't be where we are today.

Xiao Ran smiled and asked again, "Does that mean there are cement plants in every state?"

Li Chengqian shook his head. "No, we're using the method of fixed-point experimentation that the young master mentioned before. Currently, only Tongzhou has established a cement plant, but if all goes well, other places will follow suit."

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengqian began to dream about the future with Xiao Ran.

Once the cement plants in each state are established and the roads are paved, and the national treasury is overflowing again, then that money can be used to do even more things.

Most importantly, with an improving economy, ordinary people will have a much better life. If the economy is stable, taxes can be reduced or exempted, making life even better for them.

Although all of this is still just a fantasy, looking into Li Chengqian's hopeful eyes, Xiao Ran knew that he would do his best to achieve such a future.

Xiao Ran talked with Li Chengqian for a while until Li Chengqian was less agitated before taking his leave.

The main problem was that even if Li Chengqian wanted to chat a little longer, he couldn't, because the newly opened cement factory meant he had even more political affairs to handle, so he didn't have much time to rest.

Thinking of the memorials on Li Chengqian's desk, Xiao Ran shook his head.

"Being an emperor isn't easy."

With that, Xiao Ran headed towards the kindergarten.

The little princess was in class at that moment. The tiny girl sat at the front, her eyes fixed intently on the blackboard, listening very attentively.

Occasionally, my mind would wander, but no matter who the teacher on the podium was, they wouldn't be too critical; they would just glance over and give me a reminder.

This isn't just how we treat little princesses; we treat all young children this way. After all, they're still young, and it's normal for them to be restless.

Finally, when get out of class ended, the little princess had already spotted Xiao Ran outside the window and quickly ran over.

"Little Bag~"

Xiao Ran hugged the little princess.

"Is Sizi hungry?"

The little princess shook her head.

It's during the long break between classes now, and breakfast is easier to digest, so Xiao Ran is worried that the little princess might get hungry.

Li Lizhi walked over and said with a smile, "That glutton will never be hungry. During the break last class, she even ate the two pastries that Thirteen brought." The little princess smiled ingratiatingly.

"It smells so good~"

Xiao Ran often spoiled the little princess. When the little princess said something was delicious, Xiao Ran asked Li Lizhi, "Do you know what kind of pastry it is? When we get back, have Yu Shu and Xiangcao make some too."

Li Lizhi shook her head. "I really don't know. Why don't we ask Thirteen?"

Xiao Ran nodded, then called Li Fu over, and in doing so, he called over two more, including Li Ming.

Xiao Ran looked at Li Fu and asked, "Thirteen, who made the pastries for Si Zi today?"

Li Fu said gently, "It was my sister who made it."

The "sister" he was referring to wasn't his actual sister, but rather his mother.

This is a problem; he can't very well go to the harem to find someone.

Li Fu, however, saw through Xiao Ran's thoughts and said with a smile, "Sister has given the recipe to the kitchen, so they should be able to make it."

Xiao Ran's furrowed brows relaxed; that made things easier.

He looked at Li Fu, took out two cheese sticks from his pocket, and gave one to Li Fu and one to Li Ming.

"Thank you, Thirteen. And Fourteen, you two can each have one."

Li Fu and Li Ming took the cheese sticks and smiled happily.

"Thank you, young man."

The little princess gave each of them one of these cheese sticks last time. They were delicious and they all liked them, but they were too embarrassed to ask the little girl for some, so they didn't ask. They thought they wouldn't get any, but they got to eat some today.

The two of them walked away happily, holding their cheese sticks.

This cheese stick was prepared by Xiao Ran for the little princesses. He took three in total, one for each of the three little princesses, and gave one to Li Ming and Li Fu. Xiao Ran planned to eat the last one himself.

"Ding-"

When it was time for class, Xiao Ran looked at the little princess and said, "How about we make our own pastries when we get home tonight?"

The little princess's eyes lit up, "Okay!"

The little princess went to class. Xiao Ran took out the last cheese stick from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth, ate it in two or three bites, and smacked his lips.

"You know what, it's delicious."

After saying that, Xiao Ran suddenly laughed and muttered to himself, "Have I caught the craving from Si Zi? How come I've started to crave food too?"

"Don't give me that, Sizi won't take the blame."

Upon hearing the voice, Xiao Ran knew who was speaking without turning around.

"Xiao Ruoying!"

Xiao Ruoying shrugged. "What? I'm here."

Xiao Ran turned to look at Xiao Ruoying and saw that Xiao Ruoying had a look of anticipation on her face.

"What's your expression?"

Xiao Ruoying chuckled.

"Hehe, when Sizi gets out of class, I'll tell her you secretly ate something delicious and didn't give it to her."

Xiao Ran rolled his eyes.

"childish."

Xiao Ruoying made a face at Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran didn't bother arguing with her and asked, "Did you come here for something?"

When it comes to serious matters, Xiao Ruoying also becomes serious.

"Yes, it's over at the experimental field. I just went for a walk and noticed the sweet potato vines seem a bit off, but I'm not sure, so I came to find you to take a look together." (End of Chapter)
