Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

"Haha, Brother Fang, there are so many animals that can be raised. Chickens, ducks, fish, crabs... there are so many. We are in a precious land here, with mountains and water, which is unmatched by other places."

"Tell me."

"For example, ducks." Lu Ke'er took a sip of tea, calm and relaxed, "Xilin County has many rivers and many mudflats on both sides, forming ponds of various sizes, which are suitable for raising ducks."

"It's not difficult to raise a few ducks, but it's difficult to raise a large flock. In previous years, some people tried to raise ducks, but when the number was large, it was very easy for the plague to spread. Once they got sick, they died in groups." Lu Tianning has lived in Xilin County for many years and is very knowledgeable about this aspect.

"Dad, you don't have to worry about this. Raising a flock of ducks is very risky. They are very easy to get sick, and the mortality rate is high. However, I have medicine that can prevent and treat duck diseases, especially duck plague." Lu Ke'er comforted.

Lu Tianning and Fang Xingzheng were both delighted.

How could they forget? Lu Ke'er is a miracle doctor.

She was so skilled in curing sick patients, so curing a few ducklings was no problem at all.

"There is another problem." Fang Xingzheng thought further ahead. "If we raise too many ducks, where will we sell them? Although restaurants and hotels need them now, they don't need so many. Besides, not many ordinary people can afford to eat ducks."

"Ducks have many uses." Lu Ke'er smiled, "The whole duck is a treasure. The duck body, needless to say, can be used to make various dishes. Even the duck head, duck tongue, duck neck, duck feet, duck gizzards, and duck intestines can be made into delicious stewed food. In addition, duck feathers can be made into duck down, which can be made into down quilts and down jackets, which are warmer than cotton-padded clothes."

Fang Xingzheng and Lu Tianning were stunned at first, then filled with passion.

"What dishes can be made with ducks? A restaurant doesn't need so many, right?" Fang Xingzheng asked.

"There will be a greater demand for roast duck restaurants. There are also various braised food restaurants." Lu Keer replied.

"Roast duck restaurant? Braised food restaurant? What are these?" Lu Tianning had never heard of them.

Lu Keer then remembered that in Qiguo, no one had ever eaten roast duck, and there were no braised food shops because no one knew how to cook it.

Lu Ke'er was immediately excited.

"Next spring, I will raise some ducks. I will open a roast duck restaurant to test the waters. Then you will know the result."

"What is a down jacket?"

"When I make a sample garment, you will understand."

Lu Keer just felt that the future was bright.

The biggest difficulty in doing business is the lack of capital investment in the early stage. These are not a problem for her now. With the money she earned, the gifts given by Rong Zhixing and others, and the rewards from the court, she is already a rich woman.

Now, she just needs to plan the blueprint, prepare the funds, manage the relationships, organize the personnel, and then she can start her business.

It’s beautiful to think about.

Fang Xingzheng's blood was boiling as well.

Lu Ke'er's description painted a beautiful and exciting prospect for him.

"Raising ducks and growing medicinal herbs can solve the livelihood problems of many people."

"The benefits are not limited to these." Lu Ke'er smiled mysteriously, "If we can really achieve this, our Xilin County will be famous all over the country in the future, haha."

Lu Tianning and Fang Xing looked at each other in surprise.

"This kid, I wonder what he's thinking about every day." Lu Tianning scolded with a smile, but his tone was full of pampering and pride.

"Brother Fang, what is the second thing you mentioned?" Lu Ke'er asked again.

Fang Xingzheng's expression became serious: "Prince Chen was demoted, and His Majesty sent ministers to take back his military power. But..."

Lu Ke'er's heart tightened: "Prince Chen killed the minister?"

Fang Xingzheng was surprised: "How did you know?"

"Guess."

There are many such cases in history. King Chen had always been disloyal and had already planned to rebel. Being forced to this point, it would be unreasonable for him not to rebel.

"It's a pity for that minister, who became cannon fodder." Lu Ke'er could only sigh and was in no mood to express more sympathy for the victim of this imperial power struggle.

In his position, he seeks his government.

As a subject, while enjoying wealth and honor, one must also pay the corresponding price.

"The one who died was an old minister. When the court was discussing who to send to take back the military power, General Rong suggested sending troops to prevent any changes. But the old minister rebuked General Rong for being mean-spirited. He believed that Prince Chen had always been loyal to Your Majesty and would never have second thoughts. Your Majesty must have been deceived to not see the truth and misunderstand Prince Chen. So, Your Majesty sent him."

Lu Ke'er was almost stunned: "It sounds like this old minister is on the side of King Chen. Why would King Chen kill him?"

"I don't know the details. I only know that the old minister died, and King Chen, oh no, he is now a commoner, summoned all the soldiers in his fiefdom and launched a mutiny in the name of 'clearing the emperor's side and spreading the orthodoxy'."

"I remember that the Duke of Zhenguo in the capital was his uncle, and there was a queen in the palace. He rebelled, so there must have been some changes in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and the queen, right?"

Fang Xingzheng nodded approvingly: "It is said that at almost the same time, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion in the capital also rebelled, commanding the Imperial Guards and 200,000 troops inside and outside the capital to besiege the capital and the imperial palace."

"Ah?" This news is very explosive.

The change of imperial power was bloody.

"But it seems that it was not successful." Lu Ke'er said with a smile.

"How did you guess it?"

"Do I need to guess? If there was something wrong, would you sit here and chat with me so calmly?" Lu Ke'er curled her lips.

Fang Xingzheng laughed.

"Indeed. The Duke of Zhenguo never thought that the military power he had always been proud of and thought he had firmly in his hands had actually fallen into the hands of others. On the night of the uprising, most of the soldiers turned from the dark side to the light side and captured him. The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion collapsed overnight."

"What about the queen?" Lu Ke'er's heart was burning with gossip.

"The queen has been confined to Fengqi Palace and has been cut off from the outside world."

Lu Ke'er suddenly moved closer to Fang Xingzheng, staring at him with her phoenix eyes blinking.

"You...what are you doing?" Fang Xingzheng asked stutteringly.

"Brother Fang, Lord Fang! Why do I feel that you are not an ordinary official? How can a former small county magistrate know so many secrets of the court?" Lu Ke'er stared at him, "Brother Fang, tell me the truth, how do you know so many details?"

Fang Xingzheng swallowed his saliva.

How did he know? Of course the Crown Prince wrote to him.

But he couldn't tell her.

"I... I am also a disciple of the Yu family. It's not surprising that I know all this." Fang Xingzheng rolled his eyes, "Do you know the Yu family?"

Lu Ke'er shook her head.

She didn't know much about the capital city, and she knew even less about the major families and forces in Qi State.

"The Yu family produced a Grand Tutor, and the late Imperial Concubine Yu also came from the Yu family. The Yu family is a noble family, with poetry and etiquette passed down from generation to generation. They are highly respected in the hearts of scholars in the country. The current head of the family is Yu Yanlang, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. Although his position is not high, he is a close minister to the emperor."

Lu Ke'er thought of Yu Qianjing, who also had the surname Yu.

"Is Yu Qianjing a member of the Yu family?" she asked.
