All the members are good people, only the host is a pervert

The envoy was overjoyed when he received the news of the silver mine, but he knew that this matter was of great importance and dared not delay in the slightest. He immediately ordered his men to rush back to the capital and report this astonishing discovery to the court. Not long after, the emperor received the report and was filled with ecstasy!

The emperor acted decisively and sent a group of capable individuals under the guise of a caravan to conduct an on-site survey. These individuals were elites who had been rigorously screened and trained, and they shouldered an important mission: to find out the true situation of the silver mine.

Roughly two months later, victory news arrived: just as the envoy had predicted, the area indeed contained vast deposits of high-quality silver! This good news thrilled the entire court. The emperor, overjoyed, immediately ordered preparations to be made, preparing to dispatch troops to seize the area. Since Japan was a vassal state of the Sheng Dynasty, the emperor hadn't considered their disapproval. The entire Sheng Dynasty court was eager to begin large-scale silver mining.

Will Japan resist?

Lin Ruan knew that Japan would of course resist.

From ancient times to the present, Japan has been coveting this Chinese land. They will only surrender temporarily, but will never surrender.

Once they knew the scale of this silver mine, their wolfish ambitions would be unsustainable no matter how hard they tried to hide them.

That’s one-third of the world’s silver reserves!

As for specific matters such as mobilizing troops and generals, Lin Ruan did not need to personally inquire about them. After all, in her world, the Ming Dynasty was as easy to attack Japan as a man to attack a dog.

Li Guangren, the envoy of the imperial court, had enjoyed a meteoric rise to prominence, earning the emperor's favor and favor, receiving a direct promotion to the position of Right Counselor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. This was a double promotion! From a mere fourth-rank official, he had now become a distinguished third-rank official. Furthermore, he had left his provincial post and been transferred to the bustling capital. Now, he only needed to wait for the arrival of the new official to complete the handover before he could officially take up his new position.

Lin Ruan was very satisfied with the result. However, after being satisfied, she did not take it too seriously.

Even the system would pay attention to Li Changchun's living conditions from time to time, but strangely, Lin Ruan had no interest in this and had never even taken the initiative to ask a single question about Li Changchun.

She is busy with something else now.

The trade with the Xiongnu gradually stabilized. The nobles bought silk and tea from the Sheng Dynasty, and milk tea became a popular drink among the Xiongnu nobles; the herdsmen still exchanged wool and Chinese medicine for food.

Although there were a few smart people among the Huns who had doubts, they all changed their minds under the operation of the system.

Now, Lin Ruan's main focus is on slowly setting up cloth shops, embroidery workshops and bookstores in the areas around the capital.

Lin Ruan also wanted to open a teahouse that only allows women to enter, but it is still the national mourning period, so she had to give up and wait until the mourning period is over.

However, Lin Ruan's idea was just an idea. She had no business experience and didn't think she had any talent in this area. She thought that those who were more capable should do more work, so she handed the matter over to Kong Zhu.

Needless to say, there were already several such shops in the capital. She picked out a medium-sized embroidery workshop to give to Feicui after she left the mourning period, as well as a large cloth shop, three medium-sized cloth shops, and five small cloth shops.

Lin Ruan asked Kong Zhu to bring over the account books of these cloth shops from last year. She looked through them for a long time, then calculated in her mind. She said to Kong Zhu, "Luo Mei originally managed all the shops in the capital, but now I'm handing over the mid-sized cloth shops to you. You can make decisions about other aspects of the cloth shops yourself, but one thing is for you: whether it's coarse cotton or silk, don't bargain down the price of the fabrics and embroidery sold by individuals." She looked at Kong Zhu, "The same goes for the mid-sized cloth shops in other places. Just don't lose money. We don't rely on this to make money."

She only hoped to slowly tear open a small hole and give the women of this era some breathing room.

Diablo nodded in agreement.

"As for embroidery workshops, we should focus on small ones, one in each town. We don't need embroiderers with outstanding embroidery skills. We can just buy from human traffickers. We will definitely lose money in the beginning. We mainly want families in the village to spend a few cents to send their daughters to learn. As for how to make money in the future, there is no rush. We will figure it out slowly."

Diabolo responded again.

Lin Ruan was also troubled about how to sell the coarse cloth or simple embroidery she bought - if she sold them to the village, every family would weave a few pieces of coarse cloth first. The phrase "self-sufficient small peasant economy" appeared repeatedly in history books, and finally hit Lin Ruan like a boomerang.

Lin Ruan suddenly had an idea, but this idea was not yet mature and needed to be carefully considered.

"Alright, you go down first. Keep an eye on this matter. We're doing a good deed. Don't let your men get greedy and turn a good deed into something bad."

Lin Ruan tapped the diabolo and let her go.

Good things are hard to come by.

Lin Ruan felt like she had been grinding herself step by step since she came into this world, and she suddenly felt a little annoyed.

"I really want to blow up this shitty world!!!" Lin Ruan returned to the room, waved to all the palace servants to leave, then threw himself on the bed, buried his head in the pillow, and roared in his heart.

The system has become accustomed to Lin Ruan's seizures, which are more punctual than her period every month, and is not surprised.

"Seventeen Dog! You're a jerk! You can't even pick the right world!"

Well, every time Lin Ruan has a seizure, the next sentence he says is to curse it. The system says that it is numb, not painful, and accepts it well.

The system didn't know what Lin Ruan was dissatisfied with.

Who understands? The beginning is about royal relatives!

Only a scumbag like Lin Ruan would be dissatisfied!

[○?｀Д′? ○]

The more the system thought about it, the angrier it got! It also started to rant and rave: "Oh my, the royal family isn't satisfied yet, so what? You want to be the Jade Emperor? It's a pity you're unlucky to have met a system like me. How can I help you realize your dream?"

Lin Ruan was not to be outdone: "Tsk tsk, that's right, I'm also surprised that the system also has a lackey mode. No wonder you like this feudal society without human rights. It turns out it suits you 100%~ Dog Seventeen, don't you think that running in this world is several seconds faster, beating 99% of other systems~"

System: "Don't think I don't know. Do you want human rights? You want everyone above you to be equal, and everyone below you to be clearly distinguished from each other. If you can't do well, don't blame the uneven road, you double-standard dog!"

Lin Ruan: "Yo yo~ You're not hypocritical, don't talk back~ The host is also the master, right? According to what you said, aren't you also committing insubordination? Come on, I want to complain, I want to complain!!!"

The system unilaterally cut off contact with Linruan.

So angry! I can never win an argument with Lin Ruan!
