Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

When Prince Bailihe slowly woke up from his coma, the person who appeared before his eyes was Meng Wanran, who had a concerned and gentle face.

Meng Wanran has an extraordinary appearance. In this deep mountain far away from the hustle and bustle, she is as pure and tranquil as a mountain spring.

He also took meticulous care of Bailih, healed his wounds, and supported the weak him, step by step out of the depths of the dense forest until he found Bailih's confidant.

But Meng Wanran knew that a woman who was too easy to get was not so unforgettable.

After leaving the token, she left quietly.

Bailihe could not stop thinking about her and secretly sent people to look for her. Within a few days, he found her.

Meng Wanran's attitude towards him was ambiguous. She did not immediately agree to go to the palace with him as he expected.

She smiled, but there was a subtle alienation in her eyes. She said softly, "I am just an ordinary merchant girl. Even if I am lucky enough to follow you into the palace, I will only be one of the many women. The time I spend with you will probably be drowned by the fights and disturbances. Instead of that, I might as well find a good man who is well-matched with me. At least I don't have to compete with so many women for your favor."

Bailihe felt more and more that Meng Wanran was so special among all the women he knew, and she saved his life at the risk of her own life.

His feelings for her had long surpassed simple admiration and liking, and turned into a deep heartache and cherishment.

"Although I have several concubines, I only treat them superficially. But you are the woman I truly love. That day in the forest, you and I were alone together for so long that in my heart... I have long regarded you as mine. You have no choice but to go back with me."

Meng Wanran only used some small tricks to gain the prince's love, so she was naturally proud.

But there is still an insurmountable gap before her.

She is now just a merchant girl with a humble status, and there seems to be a thousand mountains and rivers between her and the noble Crown Prince.

Even if she was lucky enough to be brought back to the Eastern Palace, she probably wouldn't even be qualified to be a concubine.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she wiped them gently, trying to hide her deep sorrow. "Since you are sincere to me, you should be able to understand my difficulties. It's not that I don't want to spend the rest of my life with you, but I am powerless to break free from the shackles of this world. My father will not let me leave. To tell you the truth, I am not his biological daughter, but a tool for him to make money. Now, he even plans to marry me to other wealthy businessmen in exchange for more benefits."

Baili He held her in his arms, "How can this be possible, Wanran, I love you, and you are my savior, so I will certainly not let you down, and I will not let anyone else bully you!"

Meng Wanran leaned lightly on his shoulder, tears streaming down her face, but her eyes hidden behind the tears were flashing with an unknown smile.

Overnight, the wealthy merchants were charged with treason and their property was raided. The male relatives were beheaded and the female relatives were made into prostitutes. Most of the confiscated gold, silver and jewelry naturally fell into the prince's pocket.

Baili He forged an identity for Meng Wanran, claiming that she was a concubine's daughter from the family of Minister Meng in the capital, so that she could live in the Eastern Palace as a concubine.

Baili He promised her, "Wan Ran, I am wronging you by giving you the position of concubine now, but one day I will make you my only crown princess."

Meng Wanran has always been "considerate". "Your Highness, you are too kind. Being able to stay by your side is the greatest luck for me. Identity and status are nothing but clouds. Only your love is the most precious thing in my heart."

In recent days, she found that Bailihe had a gloomy face. She wondered what had happened to make him so angry?

Recently, looking at Bailihe's face, it seems that it is covered with dark clouds and the gloomy look is hard to hide.

Doubts arose in her mind. What could have made the usually calm Bailihe so angry?

After accompanying Bailihe, she slowly learned that although the prince was the future crown prince, the real military power was not in his hands.

The one who holds this tremendous military power is the elusive and feared Prince Yu Baili Zhao. The Emperor of the Great Zhou intends to have the two of them check and balance each other.

Baili Zhao is the most mysterious prince of the Great Zhou. No one has ever seen his true appearance. According to rumors, he always wears a tiger mask when leading his troops into battle, and his whereabouts are erratic.

On weekdays, Prince Yu would not appear in the court to discuss state affairs with civil and military officials, but he was highly valued by the old emperor.

Baili Zhao has not appeared for some time now. It was originally thought that the assassin sent out had succeeded, but recently it was heard that Baili Zhao wearing a mask went into battle again.

All this made Bailihe feel uneasy and frightened.

Meng Wanran reminded him at the right time: "Your Highness, facing the turbulent situation, instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative and seize the opportunity."

"Even if we don't have military power, we can still accumulate our own strength. When the time is right, we can turn the tide in one fell swoop."

If these words were heard by outsiders, they would undoubtedly be considered as treasonous, but to Baili He, they were like the sound of nature, making him feel extremely comfortable. "No one knows me better than Wan Ran."

He had already started planning this, and had originally mined ore in Yazhou for this purpose, but... those gold mines had disappeared inexplicably. Now, he could only place all his hopes on the treasure in the shipwreck.

Meng Wanran whispered softly, "Your Highness, if you have any worries in your heart, why not talk to me? Perhaps I can help you solve your problems."

Bailihe sighed, "It's just that many things are not as simple as you think. It's better for women not to interfere in some things."

Meng Wanran just felt wronged. Although he liked her, it would take some time to gain his complete trust.

She had already planned various strategies in her mind to help Baili He and help him accumulate more wealth. "Prince, I have a plan that may help you..."

……

Nanzhou Island fishing village.

At this moment, Jiang Nianwei was gazing at the vast rice fields, and golden ripples were quietly appearing in the emerald green.

During this period, she taught the villagers how to make fertilizers in scientific proportions and spread them in the rice fields. Now it can be vaguely seen that this year will definitely be a year of bumper harvest.

She initially built only one kiln, but demand grew.

The villagers spontaneously built two kilns and learned to make bricks and glass with Jiang Nianwei.

As the temporary village chief, Jiang Yan proposed to build a water tank for the village.

Although there are two freshwater lakes on the island, the one closer to the fishing village, which is used most by villagers on a daily basis, is lower in terrain and is prone to seawater backflow during heavy rains.

Although the other lake is located at a higher altitude and is free from the threat of seawater backflow, it is located in a remote area. In order to get water, the villagers often need to travel through mountains and rivers, spending half a day.

Knowing that this was a good thing for the village, many villagers volunteered to join in and build the reservoir.

Jiang Yan chose an area that already had slight potholes. This way, by making use of the terrain, he could greatly reduce the tediousness and difficulty of excavation.

Now, the house is filled with various bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets. The dexterous Yunniang also made a bamboo dragonfly for Chen Ge'er, who liked it very much.

But during this period of time, Chen Ge'er always liked to cry all night long, and even Qiu Xuemei was helpless. Both the eldest brother and sister-in-law were almost tortured to the point of having dark circles under their eyes.

Qiu Xuemei had no choice but to ask Jiang Nianwei for help, "Is this child sick again?"

Jiang Nianwei checked the child and found nothing abnormal with his body, so he should not be sick.

Her thoughts drifted back to her previous life, to the days she spent with her colleagues.

At that time, my colleagues often complained that their children cried at night and they couldn't sleep well. Later, they went to the hospital and found out that it was caused by gastrointestinal discomfort.

Jiang Nianwei's heart moved. She stretched out her hand and gently rubbed Chen Ge'er's lower abdomen. Sure enough, it was bulging there, as if there was some bloating.

I'm afraid it's the flatulence that makes him uncomfortable every night, which is why he keeps crying.

"Sister-in-law, let Chen Ge'er sleep on your belly every night and rub his belly more often. I'll prescribe a Chinese medicine patch for him. Try applying it on his belly."

She thought that Chen Ge'er was almost seven months old and it was time for him to eat complementary food, so she reminded him, "Chen Ge'er is old enough to eat rice noodles."

“That’s what I thought.”

So I asked my eldest brother to grind some rice flour, add spiritual spring water and stir it into a fine rice paste, and then tried to add complementary food to Chen Ge'er.

Perhaps influenced by the rough and simple life on the island, Chen Ge'er is not picky about this bowl of rice porridge.

He opened his bright eyes wide, looking at the bowl of new food curiously, taking one bite after another, and soon the small bowl of rice porridge was cleaned up by him.

After that day, his night crying began to gradually decrease.

Chen Ge'er, who can eat and sleep, is no longer the skinny baby. His lotus root-like arms have grown strong and powerful, and his little face is chubby, which is very lovable.

No matter who sees him, they can't help but praise him: "This child is really blessed."

As Chen Ge'er gradually got better, Aunt Liu tried to make fish soup and minced meat porridge for him according to Jiang Nianwei's instructions, saying that they were to supplement calcium.

Jiang Nianwei had brought a lot of vegetable and fruit seeds from the capital before. After the careful cultivation of Jing Qiudie and Nanny Liu, they have matured.

After eating her own food, there was still a lot left, so she distributed the extra fruits and vegetables to the surrounding neighbors and villagers.

When they first saw the emerald green cucumber, the women were all surprised. "What kind of vegetable is this? Why have we never seen it in the countryside?"

Jiang Nianwei explained: "This is cucumber. You can eat it raw, stir-fry it, or make it cold or in soup."

She understood why the people here knew nothing about cucumbers.

This place is barren and isolated, and most of the vegetables are self-sufficient on the island. The varieties brought from the Western Regions are naturally unfamiliar to them.

One of the ladies found it curious, so she wiped the cucumber and took a bite. The taste was refreshing and crisp, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"Miss Jiang, if you have extra seeds, can you exchange them with us? We also want to grow some cucumbers."

Hearing this, Jiang Nianwei couldn't help but raise her eyebrows curiously, "Exchange? What do you want to exchange for these seeds?"

The aunt turned around and hurried home. Soon she came back with a heavy basket in her hands, which was full of curved fruits. These fruits were dried in the sun and exuded a faint fragrance.

The aunt handed the basket to Jiang Nianwei, her tone full of sincerity, "Miss Jiang, these are cashews, try them, can you exchange them for your seeds?"

Jiang Nianwei naturally knew what cashews were. Although these nuts were delicious, they were quite complicated to handle.

But the cashews in front of me were handled very cleanly by the auntie and there was no impurities at all.

She picked up a cashew nut, put it in her mouth, and a faint mellow fragrance spread.

"Don't be so polite. I have not only cucumber seeds but also garlic seeds. If you need them, just take them."

Several women were very excited when they heard this, "But what is this garlic?"

Jiang Nianwei patiently explained: "When garlic is in the form of seeds, it can be used as a cooking condiment to add flavor to dishes. When it grows, it can be directly fried and eaten, and it has a unique taste."

After distributing the seeds and vegetables to them, Jiang Nianwei also harvested a basket of sweet potato leaves, winged beans, and pumpkin vines. She had no choice but to accept them.

Jiang Nianwei had originally planned to go to Yazhou, so she planned to take the glass cups and glass jars made in the village out to sell.

The cargo ship that was originally obtained from Xizhou Island would inevitably attract other people's attention if it were to sail out directly, so Jiang Nianwei planned to transform it.

She hired several villagers to help replace the sails, reinforce the hull, and even redesigned the layout of the cabin, placing gun emplacements in two hidden locations to ensure safety during the journey and prevent intrusion by pirates.

Everything was ready, and her elder brother and A Zhao helped her move the goods into the cabin one by one.

Jiang Lanxu warned: "Be careful when you go to Yazhou."

"I know. Don't worry. Zhao will be with me. We will be back before dark."

After driving the cargo ship to Yazhou, Jiang Nianwei excitedly rushed to the farmer's house. Seeing the coal and Bai Xue that she had been thinking about, she was very excited.

When I left, I deliberately looked for a family that looked simple and honest. Now, seeing that they have raised three horses to be very strong and their fur is shiny, I feel relieved.

To express her gratitude, she gave them some silver before leaving, "Thank you for your help."

The farmer took the silver with a smile and said, "You're welcome, young lady. We like these horses very much too. Even if you didn't come, we would continue to take good care of them."

Now the ponies born by Bai Xue have grown up a lot. Jiang Nianwei rubbed Coal's head and apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I let you stay here and suffer. I will never abandon you again."

Ah Zhao asked, "By the way, uncle, I also want to ask you, where is the most prosperous market in Yazhou City?"
