Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Su Mingjin stared at the woman on the ground in a daze, his expression dazed, and his thoughts returned to the past.

Who would have thought that this woman crawling on the ground like a dog had been so glorious in her previous life?

Everyone treated her like a saint, defended her everywhere, eliminated dissidents for her, and allowed her to have the best of everything in the world.

Even he abandoned Ning Zhiwei and chose her, holding her in his palm.

But now, everything has changed.

Without Ning Zhiwei's sacrifice and dedication, everything would no longer be perfect, and everything would be in chaos.

He needed to fight, rob, and plan on his own. It seemed that he had restored his country and proclaimed himself emperor, but in fact he was exhausted both mentally and physically. He was tired of being bound by the aristocratic families and was restricted in every way.

However, the woman in front of him had no looks, no status, no family background, nothing at all and could only depend on him to live.

"Your Majesty." A gentle call woke him up.

Su Mingjin asked directly, "I'm in urgent need of military pay, do you have any good ideas?"

He didn't need to please her or coax her, she could only rely on him to survive.

Lin Jingshu's eyes flickered slightly. This man only wanted to gain benefits from her and force her to hand over everything in her mind for his use.

"Let the noble families donate money and materials."

Su Mingjin sneered, "I don't want to be controlled by others everywhere."

The noble families invest in advance, and all their efforts will be rewarded a hundredfold.

He looked at the woman with flickering eyes, a little impatient, "Don't hide it. Only when I am well can you be well."

Lin Jingshu cursed the man in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.

Now she can only rely on him to survive.

"Let's open a chain of hotpot restaurants. I know several recipes for hotpot soup bases. Hotpot is simple and hassle-free. It is very popular with the public and is loved by everyone, young and old."

Su Mingjin frowned slightly, and then perfunctorily answered him? "Write down the recipe, I'll ask someone to try it, anything else?"

She squeezes in whenever she is asked, and there is no satisfaction at all. She is really different from Ning Zhiwei.

How could Lin Jingshu possibly give everything in her mind to Su Mingjin? The day she is no longer of any use will be the day she dies.

This man has no feelings for her, he just uses her.

"Your Majesty, the last explosion should have been successful, right? I want a reward."

"Reward?" Su Mingjin felt that he had treated her very well. He saved her, gave her a place to live, arranged servants to serve her, and provided her with the best supplies.

She's still not satisfied? How greedy.

"what do you want?"

Lin Jingshu was silent for a while. "A child. I am in such a miserable state now. I don't ask for status or love. I just want a child who can give me hope and keep me company."

Her attitude is very firm, and if you don't fulfill her wish, she will be passive and perfunctory.

Su Mingjin looked at her coldly, unable to hide his disdain. His face could be vaguely seen under the veil. How could he do that to someone so ugly?

But, for the greater cause, everything can be sacrificed, "Okay."

A man and a woman each have their own ulterior motives, one wants the strange things in her mind, the other wants to take advantage of the opportunity to turn over.

In the northwest, Ning Ran held the first line of defense. The imperial army suffered a crushing defeat and stationed outside the city, starting a long offensive and defensive battle.

In Licheng, Ning Zhiwei sat in the general's office, dealing with a mountain of official business.

In addition to training troops, there are many other things to deal with.

After an unknown amount of time, she put down the brush in her hand and looked at the person opposite her. "Still no news?"

Ning Liu sighed softly, "No, Jin Kingdom is not our territory, it is difficult to find out."

Ning Zhiwei frowned. According to the portrait, the man should be Bage, but...

Just as she was about to say something, a guard came in and said, "My lord, there is news from Qixia Villa that there are some good things for you. Please go there."

When Ning Zhiwei heard that it was Qixia Villa, he was shocked and stood up immediately, "Let's prepare for the trip."

"Yes."

The group left the city in a mighty procession and arrived at Qixia Villa an hour later.

Qixia Villa is located in a vast area surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is an hour's journey from Licheng.

It looks inconspicuous from the outside, no different from an ordinary villa, and the outer walls are all dilapidated. However, once you enter the villa, you can feel a different atmosphere.

The entrance gate was shabby, but there was a small team stationed there, fully armed.

The second entrance gate was built like a city wall, with a soldier cave inside that could accommodate 500 people.

Only after passing these two checkpoints can you truly enter the villa.

Ning Zhiwei entered in a carriage and what came into view was a large field of golden wheat, shining brightly in the sun.

Further on, there were courtyards. The names of the courtyards were written on plaques at the entrances. It looked normal, but there were more than a dozen soldiers guarding the entrances, and the security was tight.

Only Ning Zhiwei knows the differences between these courtyards.

The military workshop, armory workshop, agricultural workshop, silk workshop, and sundry shop are where a group of the best craftsmen gather to engage in research and invention.

These courtyards are scattered everywhere, unconnected to each other, each forming its own unique world.

Ning Zhiwei went straight to the main house, a courtyard with five entrances. The first entrance was heavily guarded, the second entrance was the office area, and the third entrance was the living area.

Shengxia came out with her men, "Greetings, lord."

Ning Zhiwei pulled her up and asked impatiently, "Hurry up, what good stuff do you have?"

Shengxia glanced at the sky and saw that it was time for dinner. "Please eat something first. I have already arranged the meal."

Ning Zhiwei had already eaten some dry food on the way, but he still ate a little more.

Four dishes and one soup, all farm dishes, simple yet fresh and delicious.

After quickly finishing his meal, Ning Zhiwei couldn't wait to go to the silk weaving workshop.

The Silk Weaving Workshop is also a large house with five courtyards, divided into different areas. It is actually a large workshop.

These people all lived in the back house of the fifth courtyard, which meant that they ate, drank, defecated and urinated in the same house.

As soon as Ning Zhiwei came in, she saw countless white flowers drying on the ground. Women were squatting on the ground peeling the skin and removing the cotton seeds inside.

She picked up a cotton ball and looked at it for a while before realizing, "This is... cotton?"

She remembered that she found it in that grassland. The owner liked to enjoy the scenery, so he planted a large area of ​​it. It was white and as pure as snowflakes.

Shengxia's eyes sparkled. That grassland was where she and Ning Zhiwei met.

"Yes, it is cotton. These white cotton balls can be used to weave cotton cloth, and the cotton wool can be used to make quilts and cotton clothes. They are very warm."

This year, she planted the crops carefully and gathered relevant craftsmen to conduct repeated research together, and finally achieved results.

Zhong Ning Zhiwei couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Is it very warm?"

"Yes, it's not only warm, but also very soft." Shengxia's eyes curved, "The most important thing is that it's not expensive, cheap to make, and can be popularized on a large scale, so people don't have to suffer from the cold anymore!"

The lord's dream is the direction she will go all out for!
