When Lu Ning heard that she was not feeling well, he got some ginseng for her from somewhere, which was quite old.

"Lu Ning, where did you get these? I'm fine, take them back. I know what you mean. I was originally planning to build a ship here and sail to South Vietnam, but His Majesty hasn't replied yet. He should be here recently. You can come to me if you have any questions."

"Sir, this was given to me by a merchant. I don't know much about it, but it will be good for your health."

Lu Ning returned home and rummaged through all the boxes and cabinets before finding this. He really couldn't find anything else. He hoped that Qin Xingfu could stay here longer, so that Jiaodong County would become prosperous in the future.

Seeing him like that, Qin Xingfu picked up the smallest one and said.

"This is it. You can keep the others well. This can save your life at a critical moment. It's hot these days, so I probably won't go out. I see the crops in the fields are almost done, and it should be harvest time soon. You should have people do the harvest as soon as possible, and then organize people to catch seafood."

Lu Ning nodded. He also knew that the autumn harvest was more important right now.

"Here!"

Lu Ning also hurried down to make arrangements. Qin Xingfu took a look and felt that manual harvesting was too troublesome, so he asked someone to find an iron ore and brought some craftsmen to tinker with a harvester and a thresher.

With the help of these two things, the autumn harvest in Jiaodong County was quickly completed. As long as the weather was good, people would go to the seaside to catch seafood, and the entire Jiaodong County was thriving.

With someone leading the way, everyone seemed to have endless energy; even the children tried their best to work together after school.

As time passed, her belly grew bigger and bigger. Xu and the others wouldn't let her cook anymore. She also felt tired and had back pain. There was little fruit recently, and she always had difficulty defecating. She even had leg cramps in the middle of the night. She looked much more haggard.

In order to make her child healthier, she asked people to catch sea fish to extract fish oil, and gave her child goat's milk and cow's milk to supplement calcium in time. When her child was only seven months old, she no longer dared to travel far.

Every day I just wandered around the county magistrate's office and became quite familiar with the people nearby.

"Sir, are you out for a walk again today? Can you please take a look at my dried shrimps? I'm always worried that they are not done well."

A woman holding dried shrimps in a dustpan asked her, and Qin Xingfu looked at them and nodded.

"Not bad, it can be packed up and sold now. Buy the bamboo basket made by Old Jiangtou, and put it in there. After a while, someone will come to collect it."

When she found a lot of seafood, she sent a message to Yilai, asking him to plan the seafood route, but she didn't know who would be responsible for it.

"Hey, listen to the lord. You are so kind. The harvesters you made are so useful. We harvested a lot of grain this year. After buying grain and paying taxes, the surplus grain at home is enough for our family to eat for a year. Finally, we don't have to worry about running out of food."

"Yes, you are a lucky star. Wherever you go, there will be wealth."

Another old woman also squeezed next to Qin Xingfu to talk. Their lives were getting more and more hopeful. Those who had been sent to build the Great Wall were released one after another. It was heard that the Great Wall had been completed, and it was built so quickly thanks to the cement made by Lord Qin.

"Sir, these are the eggs laid by the chickens I raise at home. According to your method, we can't finish eating all the eggs at home now, so I'll give them to you to replenish your body."

"Auntie Chen, you can keep them for hatching chicks and selling them. I'm tired of eating eggs lately. You give me eggs every day. I can keep them for hatching chicks and sell them for money. Please keep them and don't break them."

These people will remember for the rest of their lives that a few words I said helped them solve their problems. They are really tired of eating eggs.

"Ah? Can you get tired of eating these eggs?"

Aunt Chen has always believed that eggs are the most delicious thing and she doesn’t understand why people get tired of eating them.

"Auntie, eggs are very good, but our adults are picky eaters. They cannot eat the same thing twice a day. She has been eating your eggs for five days, which shows that they are very delicious. But now I really don't want to eat them. You should keep them for hatching chicks or eat them yourself. You look too thin."

Ying Bu quickly put the egg back into her hand. Not to mention her, Ying Bu herself was fed up with it. It was a remote and poor place, and the adults had taught them how to prepare to build a greenhouse. Fortunately, Yue Xin knew how to do it, otherwise she would have to roll up her sleeves and do it herself.

Those who are capable should do more work. Yue Xin has been sent out for half a month. He is quite happy because he can accompany her every day even though he doesn't know anything.

Dan Yao knows medicine, and she sent him to treat people. Mi Fu became more and more fond of poetry and literature, and was pestered for advice every day. Qin Xingfu asked him to teach literacy. Now, only he, Queen Ying, and Xu He are with him every day, but one of them doesn't like the hustle and bustle, and the other is thinking about how to make delicious food for the adults and fatten them up every day.

"That's right, you all should fatten yourselves up. I'm already very fat."

Qin Xingfu's face has become rounder now. She feels that she is very ugly and doesn't even want to look in the mirror. Her fingers are white and fat, like white radishes.

"Your Excellency is so blessed. We will definitely work hard to gain some weight."

A young woman envied her. She was too thin and had been married for several years but had not yet gotten pregnant. She had heard adults say that without nutrition, people are like the land, and if they are too thin, no crops can grow.

Everyone surrounded her. Qin Xingfu thought these people were very interesting. They said something different every day, and she would encounter new things when she took a walk every day.

At the end of September, Yilai personally brought people to purchase seafood.

"grown ups?"

Yilai was very surprised when he saw her appearance.

"Why? Have I changed a lot? But you, how come you've lost so much weight?"

Qin Xingfu asked, looking at his thin belly.

"Oh, it's all because of my son. He said that being too fat can lead to death, so he takes me running every day. Now he is more careful every day, and can tell the whole story. He is completely different from the naughty boy before. Thank you for your cultivation!"

Although Yilai said this, he couldn't help showing pride on his face. His son will definitely achieve better results than him in the future.

"Sit down! This has nothing to do with me. The educational method of Shusun Tong and his friends is still feasible. Why did you come in person this time?"

Qin Xingfu took an orange and peeled it to eat. Yilai bowed and sat down.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much. I also brought you some cloth. The cotton production is good this year. A clerk in the store took your recipe and went out to do this. I didn't expect that he would figure out the trick. This year's batch of cloth is very soft, sweat-absorbent, and breathable."

Yilai quickly took out a small piece of cloth and gave it to her. Qin Xingfu took it and felt it felt good. It was a diaper for the baby.

"This fabric is good and will have a good market prospect. It will be better if it is sold to ordinary people."

The ancients were not stupid. As long as they had the materials, they could make many amazing things. Moreover, the entire Qin Dynasty is encouraging creativity, so some ordinary things will soon be seen.

"With these words from the adults, that kid will be prosperous in his life."

Yilai felt much more at ease. Now in the entire Qin Dynasty, he was the direction of making money in the business world.

"Yila, I still say the same thing, don't interfere in some things and some industries, just do your own thing."

Qin Xingfu criticized him, fearing that he might be plotted against if he was in the spotlight.

Yilai's smile froze and cold sweat broke out on his back instantly. He felt that he had become too complacent in the past few years.

"Here, sir, I have remembered it. How should I make this cloth?"

Merchants can be given a certain status, but a country cannot be completely controlled by merchants.

"In a technology auction, one piece of technology is given to the three companies with the highest bids, and then each company gets a small portion of the profit."

There is no way. In today's society, imperial power is supreme and no one is allowed to cross the line.

As a modern person, she once wanted to overthrow the imperial power for a moment, but it was only that moment. The society she wanted to build needed more than just an idealist. If the country prospers, the people will suffer; if the country perishes, the people will suffer. She has not reached that point yet.

"Thank you, sir!"

Yilai figured it out immediately and was glad that he came, otherwise he might not even know when his head would fall off.

"Well, it's nothing. Go do what you need to do. Here are some prescriptions for preventing allergies, as well as methods of eating various seafood. Go back and copy a copy for Fusu."

"Here!"

Yilai took it with both hands, and Qin Xingfu asked about the situation in Xianyang again.

"Xianyang, has anything new happened in the past few months since I was away?"

"That's quite a lot. Right after you left, His Majesty sent Zhao Gao to the Western Regions again. This time, there were quite a few people, including the eldest sons of Generals Meng Yi and Wang Li. Two months ago, Prince Fusu's wife gave birth to another boy, but I heard that the prince was not very happy. It was also a rumor that the prince hoped to have another daughter."

Yilai also wanted a daughter. Another reason for him to lose weight was that his son said he wanted a younger sister, and he asked him to prepare for pregnancy scientifically so that he would be smarter when having children in the future.

Qin Xingfu smiled. Fusu was disappointed this time. It seemed that it was a son. She felt that it was okay because he was her flesh and blood.

"It's the same for all children. Here's something called deep-sea fish oil, which is good for children's brain development. Please give it to them for me. Besides these, how about Qingya, Lingjuan and the others?"

"When I set out, they asked me to bring a lot of things. The three of them are doing well now, and they have started their own small businesses. Madam Qingya founded a school that specializes in teaching instrumental music; Lingjuan opened her own clothing store, and her business is booming; Shiyun is still in charge of the library and takes care of the elderly, the weak and the disabled every day. Her husband is now a general in the army, and he and Master Jianglu are in charge of the Ruishi Army. I didn't expect that he, a scholar, is also good at martial arts..."

Yilai kept talking and Qin Xingfu listened carefully. She felt relieved to hear that everyone she knew was good. She felt that it was a wise decision for her not to bring them along. If she was always there, none of them would think about doing anything and would rely too much on her advice.

"My lord, you need to give someone a break!"

Ying Bu brought tea to Yilai.

"Thank you, my dear!"

Yi said that he was indeed thirsty, and Qin Xingfu felt a little apologetic.

"Look at my memory, I forgot!"

Reaching out his hand, Ying Bu helped her up.

"Have you arranged food and lodging? Jiaodong County is a bit barren, and the situation is quite different from Xianyang. Even the daybreak has to come earlier."

Yue Xin came in.

"Everything is arranged. Be careful. You should go out for a walk today."

"Okay, Yilai, I don't have anything to do here. If you have any problems here, just go to them. I won't worry too much now."

"Hey! Your body is a little too big, sir."

Yilai wanted to say this from the beginning, but was afraid of offending her.

"Twins are bigger than normal."

Ying Bu said with great pride that this was his child.

"Really? That will be more difficult. Then I'll take my leave."

Yilai thought to himself that it was a good thing that he brought enough things, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

"Ah."

Yilai and Yue Xin went down. It has been almost six months now, and Qin Xingfu's belly is still getting bigger every day. She eats a lot every day, otherwise she always feels anxious, and her belly is getting bigger day by day.

Dan Yao always feels nervous when he sees her recently. The others thought it was normal at first, but as time went on, they couldn't help but feel anxious. Every day when she was not around, they would assume what to do if they encountered various situations.

Qin Xingfu sent messages for a month, but the First Emperor did not reply to her. Later, she felt that the First Emperor did not want to go to sea now, probably because his last experience at sea was not very good. Later, her belly became bigger and bigger, so she temporarily settled in Jiaodong County.

Yilai collected a lot of seafood and brought it back to Xianyang. After he left, the weather gradually became cooler.

Yue Xin knew that Qin Xingfu was afraid of the cold, so he bought a house a long time ago and built it according to Xianyang's standards. He did everything himself. Xu and a few others also went back to help with the arrangement when they were free. When everything was ready, it snowed on the day of moving.

"My Lord, it's snowing!"

Mi Fu helped her get out of the car, and Qin Xingfu reached out to catch the snow.

"Yes! Another year is coming to an end. Time flies. Mi Fu, ask Lu Ning to take some measures to prevent snowstorms. Winter is the most difficult to endure. I still prefer summer."

"Okay, sir, please come into the house."

As soon as he entered the house, Qin Xingfu saw handrails in many places and every detail was paid great attention to. Qin Xingfu looked at this temporary residence. Although it was small, it had everything.

"Thank you! You put so much effort into it! I'm very happy!"

Qin Xingfu was moved. The better they treated her, the more guilty she felt.

"you……"

Qin Xingfu felt that she had become tear incontinent recently and would cry at the slightest provocation.

"Don't cry, sir! We feel bad, but if you like it, everything I do is worth it."

Yue Xin was most afraid of her tears, so he rushed forward and hugged her. The more he comforted her, the more miserable Qin Xingfu cried.

"Wow, wow, wow... I like it very much... but I don't know why I cry so much... wow, wow..."

"Don't cry, sir!"

Several grown men were unable to coax her and were getting very anxious.

At this moment, Qin Xingfu really didn't know what was wrong with her. She felt happy, but also a little aggrieved and scared. She wanted to cry, and even seemed to want to cry out all the tears she had shed over the past twenty years.

"Wow... I want to go home, I miss my parents, I'm scared!"

"Don't be afraid, baby! We are here, we are a family, don't be afraid!"

Ying Bu held her hand and called her by her nickname to comfort her.

"Burp~ But I still miss home..."

"Okay, okay, go home, go home! Stop crying, okay? Let's slowly figure out a solution, okay?"
