The next day, Director Jiang personally led people and gifts to the small fishing village to apologize. Before he could even say "In the future, we will buy the fish at the market price plus 20%", he was rejected by the skinny old man in front of him.

Village Chief Wan stood up and said, "Master Jiang, our village's fish are now easy to sell. Please go back."

The old man's clothes were brand new, and there was no sadness on his face, so it was obvious that he was not lying.

They really don't have to worry about selling.

Unconsciously, a food called meat floss gradually became popular in South Vietnam, and from South Vietnam it spread all the way north to the entire Qin Dynasty. In the years that followed, Changfuji meat floss gradually gained popularity and became a well-known time-honored brand in South Vietnam.

A month later.

After the meat floss shop got on track, Lu Yun gradually handed over all matters to Dashou. The only requirement was that he pay taxes according to the regulations, and she only wanted 10% of the profits. Say no to tax evasion, start from the "small"!

It had already been three months since the ship had been at sea, and according to the original plan, it would only take another two weeks. Lu Yun was so anxious that she couldn't eat or sleep well. She used to be able to eat seven buns in one meal, but now she felt full after only five.

Since she couldn't sleep well anyway, Lu Yun decided not to sleep. She dug out the bomb plan she'd envisioned, discussed it with Zhou Boli and her senior brother during the day, and spent the night working through the design ideas by night. When she felt sleepy, she'd nap on her desk. When she woke up, she'd continue working until the end of the Yin hour, then pick up her sword and head to the training grounds for horse stance and sword practice. She'd fully utilize the battery's extra-long standby time to extend its useful life!

It can be called the dream donkey of modern capitalists, ahem, the first perpetual motion donkey in South Vietnam.

Caihe had long been accustomed to her master's extraordinary qualities. At first, she scared other people in the yard, but later she got used to it after seeing it many times.

Tonghua would prepare an extra meal every night before going to bed, and warm it in a clay pot in the tea room, so that the princess could simply fill her stomach if she was hungry at night.

Finally, a major breakthrough was achieved with the Tetanus Thunder, and a corresponding method for rapidly generating rust was also developed. The former was a huge success when tested in the mountains behind Zhuangzi, creating a crater about a foot deep and nearly two meters wide in the flat mountain.

Back at the manor, Lu Yun had just sat down to drink a sip of tea when Manager Bai came over, looking dazed, mumbling, "What a big chicken, what a big purse, what a big bun—"

Lu Yun looked at her senior brother in confusion, "What's wrong with him?"

Zhou Boli's lips curled slightly. "I guess he ate undercooked mushrooms, or maybe poisonous ones. South Vietnam has many densely forested mountains and numerous species of mushrooms. Even the most experienced people know less than 10% of them, and only about one-third of that is edible and non-toxic."

Zhang Yun, a descendant of mountain natives, feels this even more deeply. "Every year, I hear about people dying from poisoning after eating toxic mushrooms. For this reason, the Agricultural Affairs Department has specially created a pamphlet on edible mountain mushrooms, hoping to reduce the occurrence of such incidents."

Poisonous mushrooms? Poisonous mushrooms!

Lu Yun's eyes suddenly lit up. "What do you think? Can we dry the poisonous mushrooms, grind them into powder, and stuff them inside the bomb? Whether it causes hallucinations, diarrhea, vomiting, fainting, or is fatal, if the effect is good enough, I think we can even sacrifice some of the potency of the explosives in order to fill it with more poisonous mushroom powder."

There are so many poisonous mushrooms in South Vietnam and they are free, it's perfect.

Zhou Boli and Zhang Yun looked at each other and saw an indescribable weirdness in each other's eyes.

"Ayun," Zhou Boli cleared his throat, his face serious. "As a South Vietnamese, I'm ashamed of never having thought of this method." If the method proved feasible after testing, he would worry about potential enemies. The poisonous mountain mushroom wasn't necessarily lethal, but its disruptive power, once deployed on the battlefield, could cause enough chaos to be fatal. An army that lost its combat effectiveness on the battlefield was like a lamb to the slaughter.

Manager Bai was carried away to see a doctor.

On the way back, Lu Yun deliberately took a detour to the dock and looked longingly at the turbulent sea.

Cai He pulled her master back to the carriage and said, "Master, please go back quickly. The princess said she wants to try on her wedding dress this afternoon."

Lu Yun stared at the sea in the distance, dealing with Cai He absent-mindedly.

Suddenly her eyes widened and her heart began to beat violently. "Caihe, look, is that our ship?"

Cai He looked in shock in the direction of her master's finger. A large ship slowly came into view from the seashore. The red flag on the mast fluttered in the wind. A group of people stood at the bow, waving their hands desperately.

Lu Yun was so impatient that she jumped off the carriage and ran towards the dock.

"It's them, it's really them!" Lu Yun's eyes were filled with tears, and she hugged Caihe and jumped up and down excitedly, "Look, they are back." Woo woo woo, they are back.

Zhou Boli arrived quickly with dozens of soldiers, who drove away irrelevant people from the dock and cleared the area.

By the time the big ship entered the dock, the two men were already surrounded by a crowd of people watching the excitement. Even the small boats floating in the water were filled with people.

Everyone on the boat was disheveled and tanned; they looked as if they had aged seven or eight years in just three months. Lu Yun, choking with sobs, was speechless. Trying to calm herself, she pulled out the roster she'd been carrying around for days and began counting the names.

“1.2.3.4…” Everyone’s eyes turned red when they saw this.

Director Wan stood at the front, bowed to the princess, and loudly reported, "Princess, everyone on the boat is here!"

Lu Jian, who was almost as black as charcoal, took over the conversation with a playful smile, "Not only that, there is one more."

One more person? Lu Yun looked over, and the crowd automatically parted to reveal an old man standing at the back. The old man's clothes had a strong exotic style, with a round collar, narrow sleeves, a short jacket, and a tube skirt similar to a gold tooth. A cloth towel was wrapped around his waist.

His gaze was complex, something Lu Yun couldn't understand.

"Brother-in-law?" The King of Nanyue, who was hiding in the crowd, could not believe his eyes. Manager Liao seized the opportunity and separated the crowd and pushed the old master in front of them.

"Are you Zhou Chong?" The old man's eyes welled up with tears as he recognized his old friend. His excitement was beyond words. "I'm Gao Yong. How are my mother and sisters?"

Lu Yun sat on a box, the orange afterglow of the setting sun falling on her body, her robe fluttering in the gentle sea breeze. Zhou Boli sat quietly beside her, his slender fingers pressing on the corner of her clothes.

Wanji and Lujian stood on the boat directing the movement of goods. Boxes of goods were transported from the deck to the palace.

Wan Ji personally handed over a basket, his expression unconcealed with pride. "Princess, I've brought something back for you. It's a treasure from a foreign land, and the local monarch has issued a clear order forbidding us from taking it. Finally, we figured out how to weave rattan into a bamboo basket."

Lu Yun took the basket and rubbed it carefully. Finally, she turned it upside down, revealing the brown-green branches at the bottom. A thousand emotions melted into a long sigh. "You have worked hard! On behalf of the people of Qin Dynasty, I would like to thank you all for your contributions."

After saying that, he stood up and knelt down to salute the people in front of him.

Wan Ji hurriedly bowed and said, "I am unworthy of this!"

Lu Yun blinked. "The benefits of this item are enough to make you all famous in history!"
