Qingshan clasped his fists and said, "Miss Su, when the prince returned to the capital, he said that if there are any business matters that are undecided, he can come to you for advice. The matter of purchasing grain is urgent, and I would like to ask for your help to think of any solutions."

Su Chengnan thought for a moment, "Is it because it's not available in the city, or is it because even farmers in the countryside can't get it?"

"It's mainly in the city. If we go to farmers' homes to collect grain, we are outsiders. If we don't make a big show, it's hard for the people to trust us."

"Well, first find a way to get some copper coins, at least a car."

"so much?"

"Yes, the people are more familiar with copper coins. With baskets of copper coins placed in front of them, their guard will naturally be lowered."

When Ah Shun heard this, he stood up immediately, unable to wait even a moment.

"wait."

Su Chengnan called him back and said, "Let the people below take care of the copper coins. Go change your clothes first and go to Tieniu Village with us later.

Goudan and Mr. Sun are here. Please ask Goudan's parents to talk to the village chief and see if they can bring up some grain first. We'll collect as much as we can."

"Okay, thank you, miss."

Ah Shun didn't know who Goudan and Mr. Sun were, but seeing Su Chengnan's confidence and Qingshan's approval, he felt relieved. He rode as fast as he could to Jiangnan and headed back. He found it impossible to buy large quantities of grain at the grain shops in any of the towns he passed through. Although there were no official purchase limits, the grain shops only allowed transactions with acquaintances, and even the quantities were fixed.

The feeling of impending storm is becoming more and more obvious...

……

The group went directly to Goudan's house.

His mother's broken leg has been reconnected by Mi Feng.

His father was seriously ill and bedridden. After diagnosis, it was found that he had a lumbar vertebrae dislocation. In modern medicine, there is still a high possibility of recovery through surgery. However, in ancient times, this disease was almost paralyzed.

Goudan's father's legs were so numb that he had no feeling at all, and Mifeng was helpless.

Su Chengnan looked at the many hunting tools hanging on the bare thatched house, and knew that Goudan's father still yearned for freedom, even if it was just to go out and bask in the sun.

She thought about it and decided that she could try to make a wheelchair. Although it couldn't replace the ability to walk freely with her legs, it was better than staying in bed all the time.

"Uncle Xu, do you have paper and pen?"

"Yes. Please wait a moment, my lady. I will get it right away."

"Ah."

After taking it, she picked up a pen and drew a simple diagram. The details were not perfect, but the structure could still be seen at a glance.

The people around couldn't figure out what it was, but Sun Liangyuan could! He said in surprise, "Is this a wheelchair? I've heard that only people from the Mo family have this ability, but I didn't expect that this girl can do it too."

At this time, Goudan brought Su Linhua back from outside picking fruits. After she overheard, she squeezed in to take a look and couldn't help but twitching her lips. Isn't this picture a little too simple?

"How can I trouble my elder sister to do this? I will do it! I am willing to write for you. I am sure the craftsmen will know how to do it after seeing it."

"You come." Su Chengnan's painting skills were indeed average. She stepped aside to make room for the two sisters, who worked together, one talking and the other doing the work. It was truly extraordinary.

"Brother Su is so amazing. Both of his daughters are so talented. It's amazing." Sun Liangyuan felt emotional and was deeply moved when looking at the paper.

"The blueprints and axle workmanship of this wheelchair are exquisite, and every detail is cleverly designed. It's truly admirable."

"Girl, did your father teach you this?"

Su Chengnan shook his head slightly. "My parents once invited the descendants of the Mohist School to come to our house to make some things. I was young and playful at the time, so I watched and learned for a while. Later, my health got worse, so I often stayed in my room to recuperate. I always had to find something fun to pass the time."

"You are truly a man of great talent. This design is so ingenious that I am ashamed to be inferior to it! If this thing can be widely promoted, it will surely benefit the people of Dayong who need it."

Hey! Yes!

Su Chengnan's eyes lit up! This is a good business!

If you don't make money, you're a fool! Go for it!

Qingshan and she thought the same thing. Ruyizhai might take away some of Jixiangfang's business, but this wheelchair would not. It would require a large sum of money to buy, which was definitely a huge profit.

Su Chengnan picked up the blueprint and, before the ink had dried, immediately gave the order, "Is there a carpenter in the mansion? Go and ask him to make a sample."

"Yes, ma'am."

"After production, you must test its safety. If there are no problems, send one to Goudan's father as soon as possible."

The middle-aged man lying on the bed said excitedly with red eyes: "Your Excellency, this is unacceptable. My worthless life is not worthy of such a good thing. I...this is the end of my life."

Goudan disagreed, "Dad! I will study hard and make a name for myself in the future! You deserve everything!"

After he finished speaking, he pushed through the crowd, squeezed in front of Su Chengnan, and knelt down with a thud.

"Miss Fairy, please believe Goudan. I will definitely repay you when I grow up. Please let my father sit on this chair. Goudan kowtows to you."

Su Chengnan bent down and helped him up. "Okay, I believe you. As long as you study hard with Mr. Sun in the future, you'll be fine. And a real man should be upright and have gold under his knees. Don't kneel down to talk to him all the time in the future. Come on, straighten your back and raise your head."

"Yes!" Goudan straightened his back and looked quite decent.

Sun Liangyuan listened to her words and couldn't help but stroke his beard and nodded, "Miss, you are right. A real man should stand tall and straight! He must not be weak!"

In this narrow, simple thatched hut, several people smiled at each other, and the unspoken recognition between them became even deeper...

"Miss, I heard from Goudan that you want to collect grain in the village?"

"Yes, please help lead the way. We want to talk to the village chief first."

"No problem, just ask someone to go with me to the village chief's house, but..." Goudan's mother looked embarrassed.

"Some time ago, there were several rounds of harvesting. Now, every household has little food left. Most of them only have enough for their own family to eat, not much more."

Ah Shun was anxious. "Take as many as you can get. The price is negotiable."

Qingshan glared at him, hinting that he should stop talking nonsense, saying that they had no right to speak. Ah Shun curled his lips and touched his head awkwardly.

"Please lead the way."

"Hey, I'll take you there now."

She stood up with the help of a wooden stick and jumped out on one foot. Seeing this, Xu Bo quickly sent someone to help her out. This matter was mainly related to the Ningyuan Palace. Su Chengnan was not in a position to come forward directly, so Xu Bo and A Shun could accompany her.

Su Chengnan looked at the hunting equipment hanging inside and outside the house, and couldn't help but have other thoughts.

"Goudan, is your father really good at hunting?"

"Yup!"

"Then tell me, what did your father fight back against you in the past..."
