The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Chu Ning'an took the pile of things from her, and the words "Mingyue Faction Development Plan" caught his eye, which immediately piqued his interest.

Ru Yue's handwriting wasn't the small, flower-shaped calligraphy that women liked to use these days. It wasn't even written with ink. It was more like the charcoal sticks she'd used to draw, except that the characters were more delicate and neat. "Your handwriting is quite ingenious!"

"Haha, I really can't use a brush. It always ends up black. So I use ash from the bottom of the pot mixed with a small amount of clay to make a carbon stick. Haha, then wrap it with a paper towel. It makes writing cleaner and faster, and the handwriting is smaller too." She smiled embarrassedly after saying this. After all, these were all her excuses for being "uneducated"!

Chu Ning'an smiled bitterly and shook his head, then continued reading. He didn't know if it was because she had never read before, but many of the words were written...very simply, so simply that he couldn't even recognize them.

He read very quickly, and when he came across something he didn't recognize, he would stop his finger at that place and point it to her. She would shrug her shoulders, stick out her pink little tongue, and read it to him with a little embarrassment.

The two of them worked in perfect harmony, and in less than two quarters of an hour, Chu Ning'an finished reading the dozen or so pages of densely packed plans, staring at Ru Yue with a smile on his lips.

Ru Yue felt very uneasy when he looked at her. She asked anxiously, "Do you think I'm a little too idealistic?"

Looking at her peach blossom eyes that were as bright as those washed by rain, he unconsciously smiled brightly. He pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. "How did you come up with all this? What's in your little head?" He kissed her forehead lightly, as gentle as the breeze passing over the water. "My Ruyue is so smart!"

She raised her head in his arms, and her tender red lips happened to touch his slender lips, like petals floating into the water, fragrant and soft. Both of their faces were instantly flushed, and their eyes were fixed on each other. She struggled slightly, but he was reluctant to let her go.

After a long while, he finally let her go from his arms, but he would not let her leave his side.

He took out a neatly folded piece of paper from the drawer on his desk. When he opened it, it turned out to be a map. However, Ru Yue couldn't recognize where it was from. "Where is this map from? How did you get this?"

"This is a map of the entire Eastern Zhou Dynasty that my master gave me. He said that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had a vast territory, with different climates and landscapes in the north, south, west, and east. If I want to take the imperial examination in the future, I must understand this and adapt to local conditions."

Chu Ningan put the map shop on the desk and began to explain to Ru Yue the territory and national conditions of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The Eastern Zhou Dynasty started from Liaodong Bay in the east, and was governed across the sea from the Eastern Japanese. It reached Xiling Pass in the west, bordering Western Qin, with a distance of more than 5,000 miles from east to west. It was adjacent to Southern Tang in the south across the Nanfu Snow Mountain. It reached Jianing Pass in the north, connecting with the vast grasslands of the northern region, with a distance of more than 3,800 miles from north to south.

There were 28 prefectures in the country, each of which had jurisdiction over a dozen counties, and each county had jurisdiction over a dozen towns, which roughly constituted the entire territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Chu Ning'an specifically pointed to a point in the middle and slightly south and said it was their Pingyang County, and then pointed to another point and said that was Dongdu. The two places were more than 1,200 miles apart, and it would take about six or seven days to travel by horse carriage.

"Chu Ning'an, I will open the Mingyue Stall in all 28 prefectures within three years. When you come to the capital, I will definitely open the Mingyue Stall in the Eastern Capital. Do you believe me?"

There was a determined light in Ru Yue's eyes. Chu Ning'an knew that she didn't want to face the Wu'an Marquis Mansion alone. Even if he was in the top three in the exam at that time, he would not be able to compete with the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. She wanted to use a large amount of silver to lay a solid foundation for herself.

As he listened to her words, his eyes inexplicably became red. In the past seventeen years, no one had ever done good to him as purposelessly as she did. She might not like him as much as he liked her, but she was doing things in her own way that she thought showed her love for him.

He held her in his arms, not wanting her to see him weak, and rested his head on her shoulder, saying in his heart, "Thank you!"

After a while, Chu Ning'an calmed down and told her his carefully considered idea, "Ruyue, all the people involved in the management and technical aspects of the Mingyue Dang must be people you absolutely trust. The safest way is to hold their indentures. Go find Brother Zhou and the others tomorrow and have them keep an eye out for such people for us. Send them over if they find any. Anyone who can withstand your test will be vigorously trained and given important positions."

He paused, then reorganized his thoughts. "We'll select sales staff from within the village. One group will lead the others. Those who want to expand outside will be given corresponding authority in sales. You and Uncle Wei can oversee this. Even if someone doesn't want to continue one day, it won't damage the foundation of Mingyue Dang."

Ru Yue nodded continuously, this should be the best way.
