The southwestern border has not been very stable recently, with constant friction. In the past, the government would not have the confidence to fight with the other side, let alone choose to launch a heavy attack.

It is different now. Both the national treasury and the private treasury are considered abundant. The government has recently planned to teach the other party a lesson to avoid making trouble every other day, which does not hurt anyone but makes people feel disgusted.

All these wonderful situations now are brought about by the lucky star Xiao Heitan.

Look at how the little black charcoal still respects him as an official as always. This is a legitimate way of finding some money for me. This child is so adorable.

The emperor thought about it and decided to show his appreciation, so he asked someone to find a good sword that had been tributed from his private warehouse as a reward, and asked the young prince to take it to Xiao Heitan, along with a jade ruyi.

The investment in the construction of the embankment outside the city has been increasing, and the coverage area is getting wider and wider. After the completion of this project, 70% to 80% of the hidden dangers caused by drought and floods can be solved. This is a matter of benefit to the present and future generations.

The construction of the library is also proceeding in full swing. This is all obvious credit, and a great credit at that. It was all built by him as an official. Just thinking about it is enough to make him proud.

Not to mention the Big Buddha Temple project, which is a great achievement that will go down in history books.

In the past, as an official, he only wanted to have more silver in the treasury so that he and the common people could live a better life, and he would be satisfied.

Recently I discovered that he can do even better. He really has the potential to become the greatest emperor of all time. The more I think about it, the more excited I become.

Shen Ruyi was very happy to receive the reward from the official. She had seen how poor and stingy this official was. Now at least he knew to give her some rewards. Was this because she had come to her senses or because she had a change of heart?

Never mind, if the government gave me a reward, I should just accept it. He placed the incense burner, received the government's oral instructions, and knelt to accept the government's reward.

Originally, Shen Ruyi had never asked for anything from the government in terms of money or property.

It's painful to ask for something but not get it, but for someone like her who didn't ask for anything in the first place, she treated everything she got unintentionally as a pleasant surprise and was grateful for it.

When the young prince came, he also brought some private goods, including two carts of beef. Even the beef tallow and beef bones were brought to Shen Ruyi. The beef tallow was of little use to them, but when it came to Shen Ruyi, it could be used as hot pot ingredients.

As soon as Shen Ruyi received the reward, he started to lead people to make beef jerky.

In fact, directly air-dried beef jerky is also very delicious and flavorful. However, Shen Ruyi, the little prince, and the family all like to eat this kind of spicy jerky, so Shen Ruyi made all of them into this kind.

Changle, who was very serious in class, was distracted frequently and sipped his saliva unconsciously, so Mr. Wang had to stop the class and dismiss the class early.

After Changle disappeared from sight with cheers, Mr. Wang couldn't help but take a sip of his saliva. It smelled really good. Not to mention Changle, he couldn't stand it either.

Since I came to the villa, I feel that this is the life that real people should live. Food is provided, accommodation is good, and there are plenty of books to read. Most importantly, my mind is at ease. This is the real happiness.

Mr. Wang now cherishes and is particularly satisfied with his present life. He has made up his mind to live a good life here, with wine, food, poetry and Nanshan. This is the life of his dreams.

He used to worry about Xihe, afraid that Xihe would not have a good future. But the things he experienced recently made him realize that nothing is more important than living a healthy life.

He thinks it doesn't matter whether Xihe gets married or finds a husband in the future, as long as she is happy.

The young master was kind and righteous, and he gave Xihe 10 taels of silver to build up his family business. With such a large sum of money as a backing, and his increasingly aggressive personality, he believed that Xihe would be able to live a good life even without him.

All he has to do is to teach his little apprentice Changle well, help him grow up slowly, try to live longer, and support him to go further.

Changle followed the smell directly to the inner courtyard, where she saw the young prince sitting in the courtyard, frequently looking towards the kitchen.

When the two met, they seemed to have endless topics to talk about, and they waited in the yard while chatting. The Monkey King and a few puppies were choked by the chili pepper and hid far away, sneezing continuously.

After the first portion was made, without waiting for others to start, Yiren directly brought up three plates of hot steamed buns and some fruits.

The three of them were very experienced in breaking open the hot buns, putting the beef jerky inside, and eating. It was still as chewy as before, and tasted the same as they remembered, spicy and fragrant.

If you feel something spicy in your mouth, put a few pieces of fruit in your mouth to relieve the spiciness and greasiness, and then continue eating.

Shen Ruyi sent someone to deliver a copy to the old gentleman.

Not quickly, two plates of dried meat and three plates of steamed buns were finished by the three men.

The Great Sage couldn't stand the spicy smell, but he liked to eat dried meat. The same was true for the puppies and foxes.

Shen Ruyi was afraid that these fish would have problems eating them, so she specially prepared some slightly spicy food for them as a snack.

After they had a delicious meal and satisfied their cravings, they slowed down and ate it here and there as a snack.

After the young prince and Changle had eaten their fill, they wandered around the villa out of boredom, looked at the poultry at home, and took a look at the new vegetable garden.

"Changle, I find that the soil and water in your house are good for nourishing people. Look at how smooth and greasy these things are."

If he remembered correctly, some of the cows and horses here were brought from his own farm, and the changes were huge.

Comparing like this, I always feel that the fish raised on my own farm are malnourished. The gap is too big.

Changle couldn't give him any answer and could only say "hmm" to express his agreement.

The two of them and the animals finally rode their horses and took a circle around the periphery. Before that, the little princess only knew that Shen Ruyi had planted a kind of sapling outside the periphery, so she didn't pay too much attention to what kind of sapling it was.

When he saw it today, he saw that it was growing too fast and too big, and had thorns all over its body, long and large. He knew that Little Black Charcoal would not plant things blindly.

"If this tree grows taller and denser, it will become a natural barrier. It will give us a sense of security. Changle, do you know what this tree is called?"

"I don't know, but, little brother, please stay away from them. They can easily prick people. The wild boars at home were accidentally pricked a few days ago and are bleeding. You can ask my brother, he will definitely know."

"Well, I'll go back and ask him. I'll plant some of it as well. It's a natural isolation zone and barrier."

After visiting the animals, the two of them were really bored, so they went to soak in a hot spring before returning to the inner courtyard.

Shen Ruyi packed all the food she had made and gave it to the young prince after it cooled down, letting him take it away. Of course, the official's portion was also included.

The young prince then left.
