Xie Yiyao looked at Zhang Zhongdan with an expression as if to say "are you stupid?", and Zhang Zhongdan looked ashamed.

"The Crown Princess is indeed far-sighted! I admire you!"

"Alright! Stop flattering me. I won't fall for it. Keep two of these iron furnaces for yourself and two for me. Let Shi Nie arrange for the distribution of the rest to the Black Armor Guards."

Xie Yiyao waved her hand and was very calm about her favoritism and corruption.

"This...isn't this not good?"

Zhang Zhongdan asked timidly. After all, these were things that had to be shipped to Kyoto for the imperial court!

"Who said I want to transport these furnaces to Kyoto? I plan to sell these iron furnaces in Yanjing City first after a while."

Of course, she would take care of the people of Yanjing first and then take care of other things. There was no need for her to ignore the people of Yanjing for the sake of reputation, but to present this first batch of stoves as tribute to Emperor Wende.

Then she will use Yanjing as her base to develop business and attract merchants from all over the country to gather in Yanjing!

Therefore, Xie Yiyao had no intention of giving the iron stove to the court from the beginning. She planned to sell these iron stoves to the common people at the price of 50 wen each.

It's not that she had never thought about giving it to the people for free, but she had limited money. She would need money to build roads and houses in the future. She couldn't just focus on the present and ignore the future.

But then again, all the money earned from selling stoves will eventually be used to improve people's livelihood, which will also benefit themselves.

A coal stove is only 50 cents, it’s really a bloody sale!

沽城

Su Yunyi and Feng Junqi looked like a perfect couple at this moment. They were standing on a tall building with a comfortable look on their faces, watching the people who were busy collecting food and medicine.

Hearing the people shouting "Long live the Third Prince", Feng Junqi was frightened to death at first!

But later he thought that this was what the people wanted, and even if his father was angry, he had to admit that he was the king in the hearts of the people.

He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!

Feng Junqi suddenly felt an infinite amount of ambition and passion in his heart!

"Yier, believe me, if I become the emperor, the position of empress will definitely be yours!"

Feng Junqi looked at Su Yunyi lovingly, and Su Yunyi lowered her head shyly.

She doesn't know what's wrong with her now. In fact, the person she loves in her heart is Feng Junyi.

But she couldn't refuse Feng Junqi, which was really a dilemma!

She even had a crazy idea, that is, as a time-traveling woman, she could save people from danger, so it wouldn't be too much to have two men, right?

However, she quickly rejected her crazy idea.

She can fully control Feng Junqi, but Feng Junyi, the god-like man, will definitely not agree!

She can't take the risk!

"Third Prince, let's make a deal. I will help you build this Gu City to be more prosperous than Yanjing City, and let you win a game against the Crown Prince. After that, we will not contact each other anymore. I hope you will keep your word."

Su Yunyi hardened his heart but still looked at Feng Junqi firmly, and said to him with a sad face.

That look was indescribably sad and sorrowful.

It seemed as if parting ways with Feng Junqi was a choice she had no choice but to make.

"Why? Why are you so determined to leave me?"

Feng Junqi had a painful look on his face. He really didn't understand what this woman was thinking. Judging from her behavior recently, she had him in her heart!

"You know, I am just a concubine of the family. I don't have any freedom. My father has told me that the Su family has taken a fancy to me and wants me to be a concubine in the prince's mansion. I... I have no choice."

After hearing what Su Yunyi said, Feng Junqi felt that she was extremely hypocritical. It was obvious that she had fallen in love with the prince who had a more noble status, and she was even willing to stay by his side as a concubine!

Didn't she think he didn't know that she just wanted to defeat Feng Junyi, make Jiangu City more prosperous than Yanjing City, and then let Feng Junyi discover her talent and value.

But does she think she is so easy to fool?

But she was shameless enough to come up to him in the first place, and after flirting with him, she wanted to dump him when she saw someone better. She is so good at planning!

"Yier, don't say such sad things. Can your little pills really cure the cold and high fever of the people in the city?"

What Feng Junqi is most worried about now is that more than 70% of the people in the city have caught a cold. If this cannot be cured, so many people will cause an epidemic!

"Don't worry! I promise that within three days, all their illnesses will be cured!"

Su Yunyi said this with full confidence.

"Will your master really provide you with an endless supply of food and cotton clothes?"

Feng Junqi continued to ask with some concern. There were actually more than 10,000 people in Gucheng. If there was no food supply, there would probably be a big chaos.

"Oh! Don't worry, I am the only disciple of my master. He said that everything he has belongs to me. Just wait for tomorrow to collect the food and cotton clothes!"

After Su Yunyi finished speaking, he looked at Feng Junqi and continued:

"But you must not peek into the place where my master keeps the food. He doesn't like anyone except me. If you anger him, he won't show up in a huff!"

Feng Junqi heard this and his face was gentle:

"Yier, when have I ever disobeyed you? I have always regarded your words as an imperial decree!"

Su Yunyi felt very relieved when he heard this.

Feng Junqi has a really good personality. He is of noble status but not at all chauvinistic. He is almost obedient to me in everything.

This is also the main reason why she has been wavering.

It’s not that she is fickle, it’s just that Feng Junqi is really a good person!

However, thinking of Feng Junyi, Su Yunyi sighed in his heart.

Forget it, one should not be too greedy. If she has to choose between Feng Junyi and Feng Junqi, she will definitely choose Feng Junyi!

After all, Feng Junyi's appearance was the most suitable for her among all the men she had ever seen in her two lives.

What’s more important is that Feng Junyi is the prince!

"What else do we need to do next?"

Feng Junqi looked at Su Yunyi with some confusion.

"I plan to let the people build brick beds and fire walls at home. This way they won't feel cold. We will repair the road to Gucheng later."

Su Yunyi pondered for a moment and said.

"Earth bed, fire wall, that thing Feng Junyi was talking about? You actually know how to do it?"

Feng Junqi seemed a little shocked. He really didn't expect Su Yunyi would know it too. However, he didn't believe in his heart that these two things could help the common people survive the cold winter.

"But can ordinary people survive such a disaster with just these two things? After all, food and water are the basis of survival, right?"

Feng Junqi said with some disapproval.

Su Yunyi was a little stunned after hearing this. Yes, he had enough food, but no water!

Oh, right! Karez!

She remembered that one year she went on a trip to a place in the northwest and visited the karez there.

It is an underground river, and the tour guide said it is one of the three great miracle projects in history, along with the Grand Canal!

She can dig a karez in Gucheng!

"The mountain man has his own clever plan! I'll prepare it tonight and tell you how to solve the water problem tomorrow!"
